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.

Ty had to smile as she landed in front of him. "Eh, I've learned to give others a chance, no matter how they look. And yeah, Butterfly's somethin' else. We met maybe a couple months ago, and my power showed me that she was my sister. Thanks to that alone, we've gotten pretty close. Even if I've done some...questionable things, such as lending her that hideout...but it was only supposed to be temporary. She'd said something about sleeping on park benches, and...anything beats that." He gave a slight shrug.
"Oh, but last time we spoke, she asked me about helping her move soon, and that's where you came up."

Regan’s fangs continued to shine through in her wide grin as Ty continued to treat her like a person and not like an animal. “Butterfly is quite a person. One of the nicest people I have ever met really, she even said I was beautiful.” Regan giggled through a clawed hand at that thought, it was not a compliment she got all that often, well ever really.
Ty brought up his power as the way he found out about Butterfly being his sister, so she figured it was an invitation to ask about it, her curiosity getting the best of her. “So what does your power do? Do you touch someone and can tell their DNA or something?”
Bringing up Butterfly and her move made Regan smile. “Oh well that’s how you heard about me, I hope she only had good things to say.” she said with another giggle. “I understand you did your best for her, though not ideal, it was the best you could do. When Butterfly told me where she was staying I was quite upset, but that is only because I know what it’s like to sleep in the cold. But I at least have fur.” She decided to change the subject so as not to make Ty feel bad about his decision. “Are you planning on helping her move into the mansion?”

Ty smiled. "She is. And she wasn't lying. I'd almost go as far as to say it was somewhat...majestic, looking up and seeing you against the snow like that." He spoke casually, not really flirting, but he wasn't just saying it. A light chuckle escaped him when she asked of his mutation.
"Sorta. I can touch inanimate objects and I see their 'lifetime' flash before my eyes. She dropped her necklace, I wasn't wearing my gloves, and I saw....well I saw what I needed to know and then some, heh..." He shuddered lightly. "Yeah, I gotcha. And we'd actually talked about that recently. I'm gonna help her move as soon as we get a date set. Shouldn't have alot, but I know she'll be in good hands."
Regan’s eyes widened for a moment at his compliment before becoming rather bashful. She was flattered by it and it made her a little giggly. She had never heard so many compliments as she had been hearing since she moved into the mansion. She wasn’t quite sure what to say, so she just squeaked out a “Thank you.”
Regan’s ears flicked forward as she listened to Ty talk about his mutation. She smiled and clapped her clawed hands together and bounced slightly. “Oh that sounds like such a neat power! I wish I could do something like that! I would go to the museums and touch all of that history! Think of the things you would learn Ty! I love to learn new things!” She squealed a little and bounced some more before Ty changed the subject to Butterfly’s move to the mansion. “She will be in good hands Ty, I promise you that! The mansion is a great place to live and she’ll be rooming with me if that helps ease your mind a little bit.”
Ty had to smile, he just had to. Her reaction was...well he'd never gotten feedback like that when explaining his power. It made him feel like he really was special, even if it didn't make him worth two cents in a fight. "Heh, well, every rose has its thorns, they say. Mine just so happens to be headaches. If I were to touch something that old, it'd probably put me in a coma," he replied with a light chuckle.
He gave a nod when she reassured him his sister would be in good hands. "Good. I have a place to stay, even had the idea to take her by there before things got...rough. I'd rather not go fully into that, but...well I'm kinda glad she'll be staying with you. Give her a chance to meet new people and not be stuck under big brother all the time." He smiled. "Butterfly needs a chance to spread her wings, after all~"
Regan quickly frowned at Ty’s comment. She would never be able to resist wanting to touch all that history, coma or not. “Oh that’s unfortunate to hear. I guess that is quite the dilemma. I have downsides to my mutation too, being a cat isn’t all that great either. Super heightened senses and above human capabilities, itty bitty catch of looking like a tiger all the time.” She sighed a little and looked at her feet, her boot scuffing in the snow slightly.
As the change in subject came around Regan smiled again. She was glad to hear that Ty had faith that Butterfly would be in good hands at the mansion. “I’m sorry things have been tough for you Ty, I really hope things get better for you. I’m glad you have a place to stay. But even though Butterfly is going to be at the mansion, you are always welcome to come and visit us there.”

Ty shrugged a little at the frown. "No biggie. I carry plenty of aspirin. And like I said, you're still quite pretty, even if you are a tiger."
Ty gave a nod. "Yeah. Life tends to deal me a bad hand, but, hey I learn to manage. Oh, and I will, when I can. I'm glad she found someone she can stay with and bond with. I'm glad she has a friend like you," he said sincerely.
Regan’s face would have been red with a blush if it weren’t for all the fur that covered it. She tried to act like everything was fine, but she was getting bashful again. “Thanks Ty, you sure are kind, just like your sister.” She smiled softly and nodded about the aspirin comment. “Well that’s good, still slightly unfortunate though. Sure seems that every mutation has some sort of downfall doesn’t it?”
Once again a small frown crossed over Regan’s maw, she hated seeing anyone suffer with things in life, no matter who they were. “I know the feeling, my life hasn’t been all sunshine and roses either.” A small smile formed as Ty complimented her once again. “Aww well thanks Ty! I’m glad she has a great brother like you to lean on. I wish I had some family I could look to, but I manage well enough on my own I suppose.”
She smiled and decided that a slight subject change was in order. “So what was this about a volatile relationship? That is if you want to talk about it.”

"I try to be," he answered. It seemed like kindness was getting harder and harder to show to some. "Yeah, every rose has its thorn, so to speak. For every strength, there's a weakness. You may not have family, but you have friends. Sometimes, friends stick closer than family. Butterfly's the only family I have contact with, and we met maybe a couple months ago."
At the relationship bit, Ty gave a nervous chuckle."Yeah...I got a girlfriend, but...well, sometimes it's dangerous. I mean, I love Tses to death, but...well it's kind of hard to have any sweet moments when with every attempt for a kiss you're literally putting your personal well-being on the line, heh...She can be sweet when she wants to be, she just...rarely...seems to want to be..." His voice trailed off.
“Well I think you are doing quite well with me. I don’t usually invoke the kindness in people, so consider your kindness a job well done!” She smiled a fanged grin and bounced a little as her tail curled up behind her. She liked making people feel good about themselves, especially when they deserved it. “It’s great that you found each other though. I’m sure it feels better to not feel as alone in the world.”
Listening intently as Ty opened up about his relationship, Regan was silent. Well she was silent until she heard the name of his girlfriend that is. “Did you just say Tses?” She felt her face pale slightly, though again it wasn’t seen under that thick fur, and her curled tail dropped to the ground. “Are you sane?” She didn’t mean to be rude, but that girl was crazy! “She attacked me you know, and really for no reason. She has quite a temper on her. I’m surprised you are still in one piece trying to get that close to her!” She shuddered at the thought of those explosive orbs popping around her body as it came to replay in her mind.

"Yeah, I did. And I know...I guess I'm a sucker for punishment or something. Trust me, there are a few times I wondered if I would make it out in one piece. But when we met, I saw...another side of her. You know, having fun. Then I saw her true colors the first time I kissed her..." He shuddered a little.
"It's a roller coaster, I'll give it that. I just tell myself--and her--that if I keep trying, it'll get better with time."
“Well I sure hope you are right about that Ty. I would hate to have to see you in the obituaries because you tried to kiss her one times too many times.” She frowned at that thought and just shook her head. “I tried to help her, she insulted me, I told her she was rude and judgmental and walked away from the situation. Her response was to throw explosions at me.” She sighed softly as she had to tell the rest of the truth, it was only right. “I then slammed her into a tree and threatened to kill her. Sad thing was that she actually wanted me to do it!”
Regan didn’t know what else to say at this point, she had hoped that Ty would be alright. Tses was such a mean person compared to Ty; she wondered how on earth the two had gotten together in the first place. They were such very different people from what Regan knew of them. The pairing just didn’t make any sense to her.
"I think it should be worth it in the end," he answered, looking at her, then he shook his head as Regan told her what happened. "That...actually sounds exactly like her," he murmured, looking away. He didn't know how to react here, so he said all he knew to say.
"I'm sorry she caused you so much trouble. She...has a habit of doing that," he said sincerely with a small chuckle at the end, leaning back against the tree as he spoke.
Regan sighed at Ty’s words. It was like he had to convince himself that it was the truth and it broke her heart to see someone having to convince themselves that in the end love would come out on top and change a person. “Well I wish you luck with that. She’s a handful to say the least. You must have the patience of a saint Ty.”
“Don’t apologize for her Ty. It’s not your fault that she attacked me. She’s just lucky that I am a better person and have no desire to kill people. She came close to being my first murder though.” She wasn’t sure if she should have said that, but she was an honest person. Ty obviously knew what Tses was capable of; he knew what she was like. She hoped he wouldn’t hate her for wanting to kill his girlfriend, but she did back off and drop it. The scratch she had gotten on her neck was self-infected after all.

Ty nodded slightly; sometimes the young man questioned his own judgement. "Yeah, I try. But I sadly don't have that kind of patience. Which is probably why we end up arguing more often than not, heh..."
He listened as she continued to speak, and he couldn't really say anything. "Well, I can't say I blame you...she can be a little...rough around the edges. And the middle...and covered in cactus-needles...Okay yeah I'm not helping her case any, am I?" He sighed, giving up. "She won't admit it, but there is a sweet side in there. DEEP DOWN." He chuckled, giving a small shrug. Hey, he tried.
