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.

He actually nearly lost that seat. He had not been expecting the shove. Ashton's tone was surprised when he replied. "What?"
Had she not gotten that? Had it totally slipped under her RADAR? Well, he supposed maybe even he hadn't realized he was into her and jealous, up until the fact... but still.

"What?" Quin said, still standing, and dropping her hands on her hips.
"Oh...I don't know...maybe ALL OF THIS." she continued, gesturing between the two of them, voice raising as she spoke. "I. Have. A. Boyfriend." The redhead took a deep breath and dropped back down onto the stool. "That's what."
"What am I supposed to do with this?" she asked? What was she supposed to do with it?

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, closing his eyes.
"That. Is exactly why I said a few months too late. Quin, I know you have a boyfriend. And I know it was stupid, what I did. Be mad at me. That's fine. I get that. I'm not going to do something insulting like telling you I matter, and he doesn't. You're a big girl. You can do with this what you will. I'm the asshole that kissed you. You're in the clear."
He looked at her, finally. "I wasn't thinking, when I protected you. I didn't want you hurt... but I guess it wound up happening anyways. I really am sorry about that..." He trailed.

Was that reverse psychology? Quin's eyes narrowed as Ashton spoke. It sure as hell sounded like reverse psychology. She wanted to hit him again...or something, because what could you say when someone was so damn honest with you?
Ashton was looking at her, and Quin sighed, trying to take it all in. When had this even happened? Kid-Ashton had been a flirty little punk, but she'd thought it had all been part of the kid thing. Was she completely oblivious, or did he have the best poker face in the world? What did it mean that she'd kissed him back?
It didn't matter, Quin reminded herself. She had a boyfriend. Who loved her. They were making progress, working things out. At the personal reminder, guild reared its ugly head and she groaned as Ashton apologized. Hurt? Not as badly as she was going to be when she told Nate about what had happened.
She took another drink.
"You're my partner." she said into the glass a moment later.

He winced. Partner-zoned. But still... "I've heard that before," He said in a sigh, running a hand back through his hair. He found his alcohol, and took a drink. Like he'd said, though, her decision. Even if it hurt. Even if he still knew she'd kissed back.

Ashton leaned forward, elbows on the counter, and mulled over his beer. It hurt, thinking about it. But not enough to get Quin in trouble. "S'fine," He said. "Couldn't have known..."
If she asked, he'd probably share. But... He wasn't sure what all he'd say. She was his partner, after all. It wasn't like he could lie. Plus, he'd been the one to bring it up. He was no tease.

How in God’s name had she ended up being the one apologizing?
She wasn’t the one who had pounced on their partner in a moment of adrenaline filled insanity. Quin took a moment and reminded herself that she was the victim here. The incredibly blind, obviously oblivious victim, but a victim all the same.
Boy did Ashton look sad right now though…
No! Quin resolved. Her heart was not going to go out to him no matter how upset he looked about the situation. He’d done something wrong, and now he was paying for it.
Just like she would. The thought reminded her that it was probably going to be a long night.
The redhead drained her glass.
”I should get going. I’ve got…things that need doing.” she said, grim faced.
She paused though, unsure of herself for a moment as she sat on the bar stool.

"That's really up to you."
Ashton drained his beer, matching her feat.
He wasn't going going anywhere. He wasn't going to ditch his partner. He wasn't going to pretend none of it had happened, and he sure wasn't going to back off or hide.

Oh of course it was up to her.
Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Quin sighed and shook her head in Ashton's general direction. She was the one who had asked him...the redhead supposed that meant she had doubts though. Would they be okay now that she knew what had apparently bene lurking just out of sight for all of this time?
"We'll figure it out." she said finally. They would. They were partners, good partners with an excellent case success rate. They were friends too...
"See you tomorrow." she finished, grabbing her purse and heading for the door, calling, "Beer's on you tonight." over her shoulder as she walked.
