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.

Somewhat mollified by Aurum's admission, Riley settled in to learn how to do things right.
For a while...
Learning was hard when you really weren't all that interested in the subject matter being taught. Riley had spoken out of haste and just a little bit of jealousy...maybe...and now that they were actually cleaning things up and making new things, her attention span was starting to wane.
"Cooking like this takes a lot of time and energy. No wonder I failed...I thought I could speed things up with a few shortcuts." she said candidly.
"Shortcuts," Aurum noted loftily. "Are for the pros. Although it doesn't work cutting corners. Cooking is often a science. It isn't like waving a wand."
This was not Harry Potter. Myth Busted. This was like diet coke and mentos, or numerous other high school science projects. Which was to say, lots of extra words and a puffing out of the chest with allusions to importance and illusions of importance. Maybe Aurum was having too much fun?
Since they were done cleaning, now came the important question. "What exactly were we making, again? I couldn't tell." He asked.

"Small favors," Aurum agreed. He moved around the kitchen, checking things. "You have enough extra to make more, right?" He asked her. He checked the fridge, the cupboards. Found some of the things he'd need.
With this sort of project, he'd have to divide up the work. Give her some simple things, leave the hard stuff to him, to demonstrate.

Silence stretched luxuriously, enjoying the feeling of its arms behind its back. It held the pose, back arched, mouth curved in a peaceful smile as a small grunt of contented relaxation escaped its mouth. Someone stalked forward and punched it square in the jaw. It rubbed its face, frowning, wondering what the hell that was for. Aurum spoke. "Uh." He was off to a great start. "We can do something else, I guess. Do you like grilled cheese?"
If she liked grilled cheese, she'd like Quesadillas. He had some salsa, for dipping, or hot sauce, if she preferred. And it'd be far quicker and easier. And she was hungry... it'd be fine.
