The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

What was a world without pizza? Empty. Hollow. Devoid of cheesy goodness and crisp crust. All comments regarding movies and things wearing off went in one ear and out the other. Tetsuya tried to pay attention to the kid and the girl, really he did, but pizza.
Pizza.
Pizza.
Om. Nom. Nom.
He didn't even know om nom nom was a meme. He didn't know what a meme was. He wasn't embarrassed by that fact, either. All he was embarrassed by was the fact that sooner, rather than later, the entire pizza had vanished.
The Asian flopped onto the couch, stomach bulging, exhausted. What he needed, after all the eating, was something to watch. Or someone to talk to. He let out a contented sigh and smiled at the blond. Then, he patted a seat.
Koga covertly saved a slice of pizza from the machine that was the teenage mutant voracious Tetsuya. Sliding it into a Ziploc and popping it into the fridge behind some veggies. If Kealey got hungry later she would have a slice. If Shinbo hungered later he would make the kid a salad.
“I’m ninety percent sure it’ll be alright, typically with mutations that effect this many, it takes it out of the mutant causing it. Its like a candle if it burns really hot, it burns fast. My bet is, it will be fine by tomorrow, if not we can see about doing some investigating then, for now I think it is best to take a passive approach.”
“mmmmm an avatar is one of thesse guys.” Koga shifted his skin tone to match that of the giant aliens. “ The sspecial effectss are amazing. You guyss will ssee.” He shifted back to limit the weirdness for the young empath.
He slide te bluray disk in and was glad that Shin or maybe Kealey had sprung for the deluxe version that had the Japanese subtitles…it would be a long night if he had to repeat every line for shin. All he had to do was stay up long enough and manage to get them to fall asleep next to each other. He walked over and grabbed the remote and started skipping the advertisements. After hitting play on the movie he smirked as he hit record on a digital camcorder that was nearby. Pictures and a tape of awkward teenage flirting. Priceless. He sighed and thought about how sweet they looked together even as teens they were very complimentary.

Disappearing pizza and special effects and staying where they were. Something about that rubbed the blond the wrong way. Something bad was happening! They needed to help! Another wave of emotions from the boys hit, and Kealey reeled a bit, then frowned, watching the lizard boy as he worked to put a CD into something by the TV...maybe a movie would be a good thing. Koga said that everything would probably be fine by the next day.
The last piece of pizza hidden away, Kealey found herself looking at Tetsuya again. Where had he put all that pizza? He patted the seat next to himself, and Kealey smiled shyly, slowly making her way over there and sitting down with the dress carefully arranged around her legs.
The movie started, and Koga continued to do things with remote controls and buttons and other things like that. She looked at Tetsuya, wishing again that he could understand her.
"I hope everything is back to normal tomorrow." she said with a sigh, leaning back into the cushions. It was amazing how sleepy she was, considering the fact that they hadn't been up for very long. Stress could do things to people though, and after all the revelations, doing something like simply watching a movie was incredibly cathartic.
The film started in earnest, and Kealey let her hand creep over so her fingers were just barely touching Tetsuya's while her eyes stayed trained on the movie. Whatever happened, they had each other, and their new friend.

Blue skin, cool, boxes that played movies with what he assumed to be Future Age technology? Also cool. And Kealey, in her dress, with her curly yellow hair and her smiling...? The best.
She said something in English, and his eyebrows settled slightly as he attempted to consider what it was she was trying to say. Then he nodded, because it didn't take a genius to guess it. "Yes."
His eyes had troubles focusing solely on the movie as the lizard boy meddled with the remote. Tetsuya found them drifting now and then, to her. Her eyes, blue, focused on the television. Her lips... he remembered them. He liked them. Eventually, he noticed her fingers. Those, he took, wrapping them up in his hand gently. A thumb brushed her hand.
Koga rattled of the phrases they spoke like a professional interpreter, amused that in spite of the language barrier, they seemed to be doing fine for conversation. Koga yawned and plopped down in the computer chair not wanting to cramp the young love. But somehow he was wary, teen hormones did a number on people and he wasn’t nosey enough to have any sort of conversation about where their relationship stood, though he assumed it was further along then they would be happy that teenaged them had attempted.
Yeah, he was a chaperone tonight. But they certainly didn’t need to know that. Still they seemed sweet…but he had his eye on this teenage pizza conquering Shinbo. If anything Kealey somehow seemed even nicer and even more guileless than before…if that was even possible.
Still they were cuuuuuute! He stretched and like the best kind of chaperone pretended to quietly doze in the background. Knowing they were safe and out of trouble was his primary goal. mission accomplished...he briefly wondered if he could talk the two x's to call this a mission... containing v.i.p's? sounded missiony to him.

Boy, holding hands was so nice. There was something about having someone's fingers wrapped around yours that made a person feel like everything was always going to be okay. It also made your hands feel like they didn't fit together right anymore after you let go. It was a nice. Tetsuya was content too, then again, it might have been all the food.
Everything was so peaceful, and the movie was so cute and exciting. The graphics were beautiful, almost like watching a cartoon...but on a whole 'nother level. Blue eye were wide in awe often.
Time passed, and eyes started to droop slightly. All that emotion feeling, food eating, and identity discovering was exhausting.
A blond head started to drop and nod slightly. Up it jerked, and Kealey blinked and yawned, rubbing her eyes with a fist. Koga thought everything would be fine the next day...once they fell asleep....
Kealey slumped slightly on the couch, head coming to rest against Tetsuya's shoulder, dozing lightly. It was still early, and maybe she'd wake up later, but for now ...this was more than okay.
