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.

Was Shin blushing? It looked like Shin was blushing. What had she said that would have possibly made him blush?
Kealey couldn’t figure out how to even ask, so she continued on like nothing had happened.
”Yup. But you’re not super tough all the time. It’s a good mix. I think I could learn a few good lessons from you about that.” Because that’s what they were supposed to do, have each other’s backs, be good team leaders.
”I do have to admit…” the blond said, taking a bite of sandwich, chewing, and swallowing before finishing her thought, ”I’d have liked to have seen the look on Hokee’s face when you dropped him off the skyscraper.”

Were they talking about the same... never mind... he wasn't going to press the issue, or think about pressing... Shin shook his head in an awkward laugh and worked on finishing the sandwich.
"Yes, let's talk about that rather than each others' backsides. A much better topic, I think."
"He was pretty shocked when the danger room simulation ended... and I set up pillows as an afterthought. Yup. ..." He suddenly glanced up towards the ceiling. "Although I probably shouldn't be bragging about that, huh?"

”I was talking about you being a hardass…” Kealey said, obvious confusion coloring her features as she replayed the past few moments in her head. Catching the double meaning in the last few statements, she burst out into giggles just as Shin started recounting his story.
Should he be laughing?
”No, probably not. Still, we can’t be perfect all the time, can we?”
The sandwich was quickly disappearing, and Kealey felt much better about things. She smiled over at Shin.
”Did you really think I was talking about rear ends that whole time?”

Had he really thought she was referring to rear ends? No, but it was funnier that way. The way she'd said it at one point, and the way they'd been batting the joke around like volleyballs at the beach, had all been worth a blush. The Asian shook his head with a light laugh.

So it had all been word play. Word play that she hadn’t caught on to at first, but that was still really funny. Kealey grinned.
Was he forgiven?
”Of course you are.” she said, slightly abashed at the way he’d reacted when he’d really only been trying to help. Still, Kealey supposed it was better to speak up when something bothered her than to just ignore it. This was good, but nothing more needed to be said. If they hadn’t been eating sandwiches, she’d haven even given him a hug.

Well that was a pity...Shin had left with every intention of training and that had been ruined by his encounter with the teenage rebel. Kealey shook her head.
"That’s a shame...." she said, reaching up and tucking her hair behind one ear. For a moment, she considered offering to help, but Shin had just come from the Mansion and their apartment wasn't exactly equipped for the same kind of training as the Danger Room.
"What were you working on anyway?" she asked, then plunged ahead with her previous idea, "It's nothing we could work on here, is it?"

The Asian shrugged.
There were many things they could do in the apartment, but right now he wasn't feeling like it. He felt like doing better things. Things that didn't require too much focus.
"Nothing special." He said. "I think I'd rather just spend time with you."

Kealey grinned as Shin gave the answer she'd secretly been hoping for all along. Sure, if he'd been able to come up with some kind of marvelous training plan on the spot that would have worked in the apartment, she'd have been all gung-ho for it.
As it was, though, she simply couldn't help but smile. The apartment had felt so boring and empty a little while ago, and now it was exciting and full again.
