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.

Dee…Doo…Dee…Doo!! 10:00:32pm Akshay had thankfully been able to dodge Lexi for the last hour or so. She came close to finding him at the bar but he had managed to tuck all his chicken wings onto a single plate and dash away before she could even see him. He didn’t trust her right now, at least not when it came to his food. The last thing he wanted was for her to suddenly stumble upon him trying to eat and kick him in the nuts or whatever kind of insanity that could befall him next. He didn’t know what was up with her but she definitely seemed hell bent on trying to ruin his life today.
But at least one of his problems was not fixed…he managed to eat. Sitting back in his hiding spot, a shady corner hidden behind a pair of extra large speakers, Akshay sighed in comfort and left the plate of piled up bones to the side, next to his empty bottle of beer. This place certainly was a dive but damned if they didn’t know how to make some damn good food!
Now, though, that was the body was taken care of, Akshay had to figure out some way to get home. That was going to mean that he would have to confront Lexi and get his ducati keys. Now that he was feeling better, he knew that he could ride his bike on his own. But would he abandon Lexi here? Why not? She was giving him hell. Surely she could manage without him.
Slipping out of from his dark corner and leaving the evidence of his meal behind, Akshay stepped out into the main opening of the party again. He needed to find Lexi…

Dee…Doo…Dee…Doo!! 11:00:37pm A whole hour and he couldn’t find her!! Akshay looked everywhere in the club, circling around the dance floor, moving into the hidden alcoves where people were doing questionable things in the skippiest of clothing, yet still he couldn’t find the woman anywhere! Great, what happened now? Did she get kidnapped? Was she being held for ransom? What other insanity could that busty blonde possibly inflict upon him now? Guilt. That was what. If he left this party without her, he would see her the next day and she would guilt him in every possible way. Well, he was not going to give her that satisfaction. Maybe if he—
“Whoa!!”
A very…very naughty part of him was…grabbed rather forcefully and dragged out him out to the dance floor. He turned to face his very forward attacker and instantly saw that flash of blonde hair and the t-shirt that seemed far too small to contain the massive bosom underneath. Lexi. Akshay, confused, managed to shoo her hand away just in time, only to find that he had been dragged into the mosh pit of the dance floor.
“Lexi! Are you insane? What the hell are you doing?”
Lexi just smirked as she leaned over and suddenly planted a full, long, and deep kiss onto Akshay’s lips. The wordsmith was momentarily stunned, unsure of what to do, before he started to kiss her back. His arms wrapped around her waist, holding her clothes, before he suddenly felt a powerful shove against his back.
Kiss broken, Akshay turned to see the joker who had just slammed into him—a greasy haired mosh pitter. Great. He turned back to make sure Lexi was okay…but of course she was gone. Dam—

Dee…Doo…Dee…Doo!! 12:00:22am Akshay managed to mosh his way out of the mosh pit. Bouncing and slamming into people, the majority of them just thought it was part of his dancing so they allowed him to do so without repercussions. Good thing too otherwise some of the larger dancers may have tried to kill him. But, working his way out, bouncing and slamming, eventually he made back to the regular dance floor and no longer needed to worry about people slamming into him.
This area, though, seemed to be filled with the most obscenely dressed, most free young women that he had seen anywhere outside of the club. What made it worse was that all of them were clinging on, grinding to their hearts’ content, even though they didn’t know his name or have any idea who he was. That was just not right.
He danced them, though. Of course! The man wasn’t dead. But that didn’t mean that he really appreciated what they were doing.
After a few dances, a few flirtatious gropes (all them! Not him!), Akshay chuckled, spun, and managed to squeeze his way off the dance floor. This place was just becoming too much. Even though Akshay loved a good dance party, the simple fact was that he was exhausted! He needed to get home and get to sleep!
But where the heck was Lexi now? He couldn’t just leave her here? Could he? Not after what she did in the mosh pit. He needed to find her, and hopefully, figure out exactly what was going o—
“HEY!” he shouted a several strong hands grabbed him and began to lift him upside down. “What’s going on?! What’s happe—URK!” Akshay flailed as a nozzle was shoved into his mouth and was quickly beginning to fill with alcohol.
Akshay gasped, sputtered, and attempted to struggle away but the men holding him, the men who kept shouting “CHUG! CHUG!! CHUG!!!” were strong. Very strong…

Dee…Doo…Dee…Doo!! 01:00:36am Akshay...was very drunk. He didn’t remember much that happened during this time, only his constant wanderings, his dancing, and the fight or two that he had nearly gotten into. But he was in too good of a mood to care! Why should he? After all, he was having fun! He was loosey-goosey and all usual ideas of keeping himself contained were gone! He didn’t even care that he had been so tired mere moments ago! Instead he was wrapped up, happily, in the blanket of alcohol and freedom.
He was happy. The day was horrible, but he was happy now. That was all that mattered, right?
Weaving in and out of the dance floor, he grinned wide as the alcohol he had been forced to chug coursed throughout his system. His eyes were swimming and he was fairly certain that he was stuck with a permanent smile on his face, but, as he thought, he just didn’t care. He was so glad that Lexi brought him here.
Speaking of…where was she? He giggled to himself as he continued searching throughout the dance floor, trying to finding that elusive and busty blonde. Surely she was somewhere inside the building. It was not like she had a way of leaving without him. HE had a Ducati!
…
Through the fog of his drunkness, Akshay suddenly remembered that Lexi did in fact have the keys to his beloved motorbike. Crap. He started to stumble through the dance floor, looking for the exit when he came to a suddenly halt after nudging rather forcefully into an extra large, muscular man.
Akshay giggled at his shaved head, his tattooed neck, and his pierced nose. The last he saw was a fist flying towards his face.

Dee…Doo…Dee…Doo!! 02:00:13am Pain. Pain and soreness. That was all Akshay could feel. He didn’t know why he was in pain but it seemed like everything on his face was sore. His head throbbed with a massive headache and his nose felt like it had just participated in a game of chicken with a brick wall and lost. But what made it worse was that he couldn’t remember how all of that came to pass. All he knew was that he was in pain and he hoped that it would go away.
Time ticked away in the back of his head and slowly it did begin to alleviate; just enough to allow him to begin to stir, though he was still in the blackness behind his eyelids. He didn’t want to open his eyes just yet.
Thankfully he felt as if he were laying down on something soft. Not all hard and dirty like the dancefloor he remembered being on. Instead this felt soft and cushiony, though what in the club was like this he couldn’t even comprehend. Oh well, at least a pain in his back was one less thing to worry about. Now he just had to focus on somehow trying to wake up, as well as trying to push past the throbbing pain that echoed inside of his entire skull.

Dee…Doo…Dee…Doo!! 03:00:52am Akshay awoke with a start. Had he been asleep? He figured that he might have been because the cushion he was lying on felt very comfortable and familiar, like his own bed. It was the realization of that that actually forced him through the pain that had downgraded to a dull ache and allowed him to sit upward. Groaning since he was still sore, Akshay meekly rubbed the back of his neck as he tried to push back the dullness of his mind and cautioned to open his eyes.
There…was his own bed, his own room, and own closet full of costumes. He was home! HOME!
But how did he get here?
Akshay turned around, confused and spied that there was no one else in the room. Odd. He didn’t remember coming home on his own. Maybe someone had called a taxi for him? That had to be it because even at his drunkest, Akshay was not stupid enough to attempt to drive his motorcycle back home. Even he had more sense than that.
Darn. If he took a taxi did that mean his bike was still at the weird club that Lexi had driven him to—LEXI! She still had his keys.
He groaned and lay back in bed. This really sucked. What the hell was Lexi’s problem that she was so irritable today? Kicking him, tackling him, leaving him at some club to get drunk and abused; did she have it in for him or something?
“Hey Akshay,” a familiar voice sounded. “Finally awake.”
Akshay jumped up and snapped his attention towards his doorway. There was Lexi, standing in nothing but a towel, her hair wet from just having gotten out of the shower.

Dee…Doo…Dee…Doo!! 04:00:39am Before he could even ask her what had happened, Lexi had pulled Akshay up and shoved him towards the shower. Apparently he had the scent of alcohol, smoke, and dive bar wafting off of him. With no explanation as to anything, Akshay could only comply as he was shoved in and handed a handful of pajamas. Seeing no other option, obviously since Lexi was such a controller, Akshay had stepped into the shower and proceeded to clean off.
The water thundered into the tub and Akshay had to groan at the sound bouncing around in his head. He didn’t like his shower to be this loud and wished that there was some sort of volume control. But that was obviously beyond him.
Weakly he opened his medicine cabinet, fished out some asprin and took a two or five pills in order to help quell the headache. He couldn’t even consider letting the water touch him until the headache was under control. Only then did he finally climb in.
And it still hurt. But he forced himself through it.
It was a rather long shower. If only for the fact that he was so tired and sluggish and there was still a dull pain in the back of his head. But eventually he did manage to clean himself off. By the time his shower was done, Akshay didn’t know how much time had passed, probably closer to an hour or so, before he finally exited his bathroom.
Dressed in a pair of deep blue pajama bottoms and a loose Spectacular Man t-shirt, Akshay moaned and kept rubbing his head. This really was a pretty massive headache but hopefully it would go away soon.
A glance to his living room and Akshay found that familiar crop of blonde hair. Lexi was lounging back, watching TV and dressed in a very oversized Blue Torch shirt that he only worn once for a costume. The most startling was that she had no pajama bottoms, jeans, or any kind of pants on. She looked like she was getting ready for bed! Good thing the shirt was long enough.
“Lexi?” He asked as she stumbled over. “What happened today? Why did you, you know, do EVERYTHING to me?” He figured that there was no point in beating around the bush. He had a right to know.
Lexi looked up, sighed, and bit her bottom lip as she momentarily turned to look back at the TV. There was obviously something bothering her. Akshay knew that much because why else would she have done absolutely everything that she did today? It seemed to take a couple moments of thought before she finally just settled her fierce eyes on him.
“Akshay,” she finally said boldly. “It was my birthday. And you forgot.”

Dee…Doo…Dee…Doo!! 05:00:47am Akshay had sat next to Lexi as she began to explain everything. And everything obviously made him feel worse than the harsh kick to his groan. All in all, Akshay had apparently made a fool of himself. Normally he never forgot Lexi’s birthday. Even though they didn’t see eye-to-eye all the time, they were still great friends and he always managed to do something big for her. Today (or yesterday), though, he had forgotten. He had scheduled her to work even though she always took the day off, and he didn’t get her a present or even offer her birthday congratulations.
Lexi had revealed that she felt rather cheated and hurt. But Akshay knew Lexi; she was not the type to just feel hurt and go home feeling bad about it. She would get revenge. Apparently everything she had done today, the “mishaps” during skits, cleaning out the fridge, the club everything had just been her way of getting even with him. Thankfully she began to feel bad and was the one who brought him home in a taxi after finding him passed out on the dance floor. Even though a majority of everything that Lexi had done was pretty much over line, Akshay felt like a complete tool. He lowered his head and sighed a bit, shaking his head as he thought it over. In all honestly Lexi probably had a right to do what she did. You never forget a friend’s birthday, especially one as important as Lexi was.
“Lex…I-I’m sorry…” he muttered.
Lexi shrugged and turned her gaze down to the floor. “Whatever it. It’s fine.”
“No, it’s not,” Akshay said honestly as he reached over and took the young woman’s hand. Looking into her eyes, he looked genuinely sorry as he shook his head and caressed her knuckles. “Really, I am. I had no right to forget your birthday like that. You mean a lot to me and that should never be a problem between us.”
Lexi stared at him deeply, as if she were trying to make sure that none of his words had even the closest hint of bull to them. When it finally seemed as if she were satisfied with his answer, Lexi lips stretched into a small smile. She nodded as she leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek.
“Okay. And I’m sorry too,” she said with a nod. “We’re good?”
Akshay smirked and nodded. “Always. I just, you know, I feel really bad I didn’t get you anything for your birthday.”
“Oh?” Lexi smirked, her eyes filling up with a seductive light. Leaning forward, she casually pressed her hand against Akshay’s chest, pushing him to lie back on the couch. Hovering over him, she smirked as she leaned down and started to softly kiss his neck. “Well…maybe there IS something you can do…”
The alarm sounded harsh in the early morning light but it was enough to begin Akshay stirring. First one eye opened, then the other, and he spied Lexi lying there, curled up next to him. The pair of them were wrapped and tangled under the cover of a blanket that they had somehow managed to find during the course of their lovemaking. Still on the couch, there was very little room to move without Akshay risking waking the young woman up. Considering the day and night that the both of them had yesterday, he didn’t want to do that.
This latest event was definitely worth everything that he had gone through. He knew that a relationship was definitely not in the works between him and Lexi but that was no reason they couldn’t have a bit of fun now and then. Besides, this was Lexi’s idea. He was merely going along with it. But for now, that didn’t mean he couldn’t bask in the warmth that now emitted from the pair of them.
But why was his alarm ringing? Hmm, he probably never took off the timer after the hellish day he had yesterday. Damn. He didn’t want to get up this early. Huh. As a matter of fact, all he wanted to do was sleep and that was very well his right. And that was a pretty darn good idea.
Leaning down, Akshay felt along the floor until he could grab hard. Eventually he found one of his shoes, hefted it up and aimed for the bedroom.
BEEP! BEEP!! BEEP!!! BEEP!!!! BE—CRAAASMASH!!
“Huh?” Lexi began to stir but Akshay calmed her with a gently kiss on her shoulder. She smirked as she nuzzled back into the couch to sleep.
Akshay sighed happily. He could always get another alarm clock.
