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.

Tses shrugged her shoulders slightly, and listened to the times he listed. "Well, any of them seem like they would work. It just depends on how long the shopping would take. We could always do that first, then depending on what time it is we can head to the next showing of the movie." She suggested, mildly curious what movie they were going to go see. As long as there was blood. And gore. And no hearts unless they were anatomically correct.
She smiled slightly at his next comments, and didn't flinch this time as he kissed her cheek, which was a small little victory in their relationship. She moved through the door after Ty, then locked and shut it behind them. "I kinda like it that way though... If you tried making us a 'normal' couple, it would probably drive one or both of us crazy... I mean, I like some of the normal stuff..." She gave his hand a squeeze. "But all the make up and cute pink shirts and skirts would totally just... not be me." She sighed, and her hand gave a slight shake again.

"Yeah, that works," he answered lightly, calming down. He really needed to learn not to get so worked up over things like this so easily. "I'm just looking for a fingerless glove, how long could that take?" he said jokingly, knowing there were times when he took forever.
"Yeah. Some of the normal stuff is great, I'm just not really all for the really sappy public stuff past holding hands or hugging in public, or all the pink...God I hate pink...." he shuddered, then smiled. "You're pretty just the way you are anyway, you don't need makeup," he said softly with a wink.
Tses chuckled slightly, and smirked at him. "It depends on if you end up being super picky about which gloves you pick. I wore fingerless gloves for a little bit, before I started covering my arms up all the way. I probably tried on 50 different pairs before I found the pair I liked. Nearly got caught pilfering those though. I took too long deciding." She smirked.
She always enjoyed being around Ty because she felt like he wasn't going to judge her for stealing or for doing less than legal things. It was like he knew that was just part of who she was, and accepted her for that. At the same time, she was pretty sure if she ever stopped stealing he'd still be ok with her. Sure, it wouldn't be as fun since stealing brought them together, but he wasn't judgmental. His only real flaw was he sometimes ended up being jealous or clingy... Or both. But if he had to deal with her volatile temper, it seemed a fair trade.
"Sure you don't want pink fingerless gloves? we could probably find you soooome." Tses said in a sing-song voice, and then gave him an evil smile. She quickly lost it behind a beat red blush at his next comment, and she coughed as they started down the stairs. "I... I guess. One of these days you'll compliment me and I'll see it too... Just... I feel like I'm always seeing someone different than you in the mirror."

Ty chuckled, then it evolved into a full on laugh as she finished her sentence. That sounded like her, all right. "Maybe. It depends. I'm thinking either something green or with studs on it. Or both. Not Pink."
Ty didn't have a problem at all with Tses's stealing. Why would he? He did the same thing, after all. In fact it was something they did together, and how they met. Though it was true even if she stopped stealing, he wouldn't love her any less.
Leading her outside, he smiled softly as they began walking. "People don't see themselves the way the rest of the world was," he explained.
Tses made a face slightly at him, and walked by his side. Outside, the weather was fairly nice, cold, but at least it wasn't pouring rain or snow today. That made the walk more bearable and almost nice. "I just... I don't know. Sometimes I wish I could see it doMaybe it's just one of those things that takes time. Seems like life takes time though.. I never used to really think much about the future, because all there was to focus on was each day. I stole, I lived. Life went on... Now, it feels like there is more to life than that. Confuses me sometimes I guess." She sighed, and gave his hand a squeeze, and gave him a crooked smile.
"Hey at least I know you'll be around. Something to look forward to." she said, trying to drag some optimism into the conversation. She gave their hands a playful swing, smirking at him.

Ty always enjoyed walking with Tses. It was sweet, quiet, and usually peaceful. As long as they didn't have to run, but even then it was exciting. "Well, you see things in me that I don't," he replied softly. "I know how that is. I find myself thinking about the future more often, too. Used to be the farthest into the future I thought was after I got a haul..."
Ty wasn't about to tell her what thoughts on the future that he had nowadays. He was sure she might kill him for it. Besides, he didn't have the guts to tell her how far into the future he imagined, or what things were like for them. Now that he thought about it this way, it made his face turn a light shade of pink.
"Yeah. I'll always be around," Ty replied, smiling dreamily.
Before he knew it, they'd reached a clothing store. He led Tses inside, his ears instantly hit by a song he recognized playing over the speakers.
So do I remind you of Someone you never met A lonely silhouette And do I remind you of Somewhere you wanna be So far out of reach Ohhh I wish you’d open up for me Cause I wanna know you Amaryllis
Ty smiled as the song bounced around in his head now. He headed straight for the fingerless gloves, picking through and looking for something different.
Tses was quiet most of the walk to the clothing store, then as they walked inside, she glanced around curiously. She rarely went into stores like these. Most of the clothes she had she sewed herself, or she picked them up from the mall. it was easier to steal there than in a department store where there were less escape routes. As Ty moved to the gloves, Tses wasn't quite sure what to do, so she stayed with him, giving his hand a squeeze and letting go as he started going through the gloves looking for something to wear.
"Look, found the pink ones!" She smirked, holding up a pair of fuzzy pink fingerless gloves and grinning at him evily. After he responded she picked up another pair that were green and held them out instead. "Unless you know, you want something cooler." Funny, there was no way she could forget Ty's favorite color now. She blushed ever so slightly, then glanced back at the other gloves.
"I don't know if I'd ever feel normal wearing gloves like that... I'm so used to the arm bands now. Combat boots and arm bands mark me feel like .... me." She remarked thoughtfully.

Ty's entire face scrunched up when she held up the pink gloves. "Hell no," was his reply, sticking his tongue out at her. When she held out the green ones, he smiled, reaching out and running his fingers along the faux leather fabric.
"Awww...you remembered my favorite color~" he half sang, sort of hinting, but mostly doing it as a joke. He held onto them, slipping off the bandage and trying the left one on. He let his fingers clench into a fist, and he smiled at how well they fit. "Tses, you know me too well," he commented.
"Well, for me, it was out of necessity more than out of a fashion statement. But...if I'm going to wear things like that, I may as well look good in 'em, no?"
While pleased by the reaction she gained from pulling out the pink gloves, the way he spoke in that almost sing-song voice made the color rise faster in her cheeks. She laughed as he put them on, noting they seemed to fit fairly well, and shrugged her shoulders almost shyly, turning and looking through the rack of belts with a shrug. "Those look pretty good on you. You could see if there is another pair in another color you like to." She added, then turned and looked at a rack of jewelry. The display had several pairs of stud earrings, some little moons that would match perfectly with her necklace.
"What do you think of these?" Tses said, turning around and holding them out for him to see.

Ty smiled, continuing to go through the rack of gloves, though not quite sure what he was looking for right now. He was happy with the green ones, but it was good to have a backup pair or two. With a smile, he grabbed a pair of black ones, lined with metal studs, and tried it on. Another perfect fit.
He chuckled when Tses showed him the earrings. "They'd look alot better on you than me," he teased, then got more sincere and serious. "They've practically got your name on 'em. Definitely you," he said softly.
Tses stuck her tongue out at Ty's initial teasing, then smiled slightly as he added the next comment. For some reason, it felt nice knowing he approved of the choice. It was cute in that weird couple way. Sometimes she disliked the relationship and the changes it gave. Other times, she enjoyed the sense of normalcy, like today.
Flipping the earring card over, she checked the price and it wasn't too bad. At least not the arm and a leg she could end up paying at the mall. Not that she ever really paid anyway. Times like this she usually just shoppe with the cash she'd liberated from other people, and it created less of a trail back to her that way. "Anything else you wanted to look at while we're here?" She asked, turning back to him, glancing at the two pairs of gloves he had now.

Ty smiled as he looked at her, imagining her wearing the earrings. Yep, perfect match. He loved how today was turning out now, even if it did start a little rough. It was times like this that really made this relationship worthwhile to him. It made every bad or scary moment they had to endure far worth it.
"Actually I think that's it," he replied, heading to checkout, but not before swiftly taking the earrings from her grasp. When he made it to the checkout counter, Ty paid for both his gloves, and her earrings. Pocketing the receipt, he handed her her earrings and put the left green glove on his left hand.
"Wanna hit the theater now, or is there something else you wanna do?"
One moment Tses was holding the earrings, the next she was staring at her empty hands as Ty started moving towards the checkout counter. Frowning deeply, she stuck her tongue out at his back then followed. If they had a typical relationship, and she knew Ty had earned the money she might have been offended he was paying for them for her. But rather she was just slightly miffed that he had managed to swipe them out of her hands so easily. He would have to pay for that one later. She had her own little ego when it came to stealing.
"Up to you. Depends if the movie is starting soon. Otherwise I may just have to teach you a lesson about taking things from me." Tses said with a small glint in her eyes. It was a competitive little glimmer that appeared only when her pride was on the line. She took the earrings and smirked, then started swapping out her own bottom studs for the moons.

"Yeah, we can catch the next showing," Ty replied as he put the remaining gloves into his pockets and led her out. He noticed the competitive edge in her voice, and it made him smirk, eyes seeming to glimmer a little as well.
"Hey, I'll let you have B&E," he said quietly once they were out of earshot from anyone who might be nearby. "But when it comes to pickpocketing, I like to think I'm on top of the food chain~" His face retained this smug little grin. "Happy Valentine's, by the way," he replied solemnly with a wink.
It took Tses a few minutes to get her new earrings in and the old ones on the card and in her pocket, and while she did it they moved outside the store. She flinched ever so slightly at the mention of B&E, and fiddled with her arm bands. "I think I'd rather avoid any form of B&E for awhile though. I had enough to deal with from that last escapade." She murmured under her breathe, then stuck her tongue out at him.
"You may think you're at the top of the food chain fish, but you know a cat has the upper hand, and I certainly have more feline in me than fish." She smirked at him and her mouth grinned evil-y. Then her expression wavered slightly and she made a face at him. "Don't say that phrase. It has so many cuddly heart and rainbow connotations." She said, giving a fake shudder. "I need to go listen to Linkin Park to cleanse my ears now!" She said with a fake moan, but then a genuine smile crossed her face and she hoped he knew she wasn't that appalled by it... At least for now.
