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.

The sun was shining, a gentle breeze was blowing through the park, and a blonde young woman was making her way through the grass sporting a smile. Birds were singing, and the sun had a big smile on its face as a rainbow spurted through the clouds--Okay no. Not really. It's all a lie. Sorry, kids. No fairy tale story this time.
The sky was overcast, the smiling sun blocked out by the ominous black fluff that threatened to pour down rain in the 60 degree weather. There were no birds, save for a handful of crows. And the blonde?
Okay, for some reason, the blond was smiling as she walked through the park, tossing her hair back and holding her light jacket close to her as the wind picked up. It was her day off, and things seemed to be going well outside of work. That, and she was hoping to find someone. She'd called earlier, and they were scheduled to meet here. Now the fun part was just to find her.
So, in that sense, maybe the story of a love-struck teenager was reminiscent of a fairy tale, even if the environment didn't match.

Butterfly had been sitting alone and quite bored when someone called. This was really unexpected, considering she never got calls really. She picked up the phone, hoping that it would be someone special and not another telemarketer. She brought the phone up to her ear and said, "Hello?" When she heard the voice of someone familiar that she could only hope to speak to again, her heart jumped into her throat with excitement. She answered back with, "Sure, I can meet you. In the park. Right. Don't worry, Paige. You'll know where to find me."
Butterfly jumped up and immediately went to find better clothes to put on. She couldn't very well go see Paige with just her lounging clothes on. She wanted to be wearing something special, something to impress her with. So she went rummaging through the clothes that she had, pretty much all from when her brother took her shopping. She realized that the weather wasn't that great and decided to wear a pair of jeans that fit her pretty snug and then contemplated a top. As she picked through her clothes, the perfect one made itself known. She grabbed the cute dark green button up and put it on, leaving a couple of buttons undone at the top. Next, she quickly laced up her dark blue converses and a jacket and hurried out the door.
When she got to the park, she wondered if Paige had already gotten there before she did. She looked around a bit, but came to the conclusion that she must have gotten there early. She quickly found the tree that she and Paige had first met under and then climbed up into the tree and sat on a branch, waiting for Paige to arrive. "Let's see if she can spot the Butterfly when I'm not in such a conspicuous form?" she thought to herself and smirked as she waited anxiously.

Paige got lucky, it seemed. Though up in the tree, Paige recognized a certain...willowy figure anywhere. Well, at least she hadn't shifted butterfly. The spork shifter never would have spotted the girl from that distance then.
Quietly, Paige attempted to make her way up to the branch Chloe was sitting on. But managed to get just below it. Close enough to give her a light pat on the rear before sitting on the branch below her girlfriend. "Well hello there~" she teased.

Butterfly had seen Paige coming toward her and smiled as she saw her beautiful face draw closer to her. She pretended not to notice as Paige tried climbing up in the tree, but when Paige patted her on her butt, Butterfly couldn't help but look down at her and smirk. "Hey Paige. I missed seeing your pretty face. You look kinda cold. Let me come down there and help warm you up." As she said this, Butterfly climbed down one branch to where Paige was and sat right next to her and smiled at her, looking into her nice beautiful eyes.

Paige giggled, brushing her hair out of her face. "You're too sweet, ya know that? Figured we needed to spend some time together. I did miss you, after all," she replied, a light pink coming to her cheeks.
"Anyway, I thought we should hang out, maybe do something fun. My ideas didn't get past there, but...hey we'll come up with something, right?" She gave a light shrug, dropping from the branch--the lowest one--and landing on her feet, though almost losing her balance in the process. Nope, the California-princess definitely was not built for this.

Butterfly blushed slightly as well as she heard Paige say that she had missed her too. Butterfly jumped down next to her and leaned over and kissed her cheek and put her arm around her. "I'd really like that, Paige. We could walk around the park and just talk for a bit until we figure out what we want to do. Is that okay? How has your day off been? How have you been?" She waited for a moment for Paige to indicate if she wanted to walk with her as she spotted the closest path that they could start walking on.

Paige turned, her lips meeting Butterfly's in a gentle kiss before putting her arm around the other girl in return. "That sounds like an idea," she murmured softly as she started walking. "I've been alright. Work is frustrating sometimes, but as far as my day off, I figured I may as well spend it with my girlfriend, right?"
She winked, leaning into the other girl a little. "I still hate this city and the weather therein, though...that I will say," the blond grumbled as the wind picked up.

Butterfly felt Paige's lips against hers and her eyes closed in heavy happiness. As she felt Paige's arm being placed around her, she started to grin from ear to ear as she leaned into Paige a little and nuzzled her. She listened as Paige talked about about work and smiled as she talked about spending time with her and blushed as Paige claimed her as her girlfriend. She smiled as the blonde winked at her and nodded and shared her dislike for the weather as well. Butterfly then began to think of where they could go to get out of the cold windy weather."I'm not liking the weather either. I like Georgia weather a lot better. And you'll get used to the city, it's not so bad after you're here a while and realize it's your new home. Instead of walking around the park, I think I remember the way my brother went to go to the mall. We could go walk around there if you'd like. That way we're not out in the cold and can still hang out. Want to?" Butterfly started walking around the path that could lead back to the entrance to the park and she rubbed her hands over Paige's shoulder to try and help keep her warm.

Paige smiled. "You woulda loved Cali, then. Beautiful. And I do realize it's my new home. Which probably has to do with why so many people end up seeing my bad side," she said, flashing a wild grin that at the same time showed she did have a bad side.
"Mall?" The blonde's eyes lit up at the very word. Yes! Something she always loved no matter where she was. The mall. "Of course I want to," she all but squealed.
"Maybe I'll grow to like New York...after all it did give me you. But aside from that..." her voice trailed off, and she began to sing lightly as they walked.
"I've been high, I've been low, I've been yes, and I've been oh hell no! I've been rock and roll and disco, won't you save me, San Francisco?"
This song, however, seemed to tick off the city, because at this moment, the bitter wind picked up even more, causing Paige's free hand to zip up her light jacket as she muttered swear words under her breath.
"Yes. Mall. Heat. That would be n-n-nice..." she grumbled, clinging to the other shifter.

Butterfly grinned at the mention of Paige having a bad side and the idea of possibly getting to see California one day."You have a bad side? I've yet to see that. Maybe you can show me one day. Maybe you can take me back to California someday." she stuck her tongue out teasingly at the blonde as she kept walking and were getting closer to the entrance of the park.
"Yeah, you have me. And New York has some great places. The weather will get better. It can't stay cold forever." As she just finished up her sentence, she heard Paige begin to sing and she held her closer as her beautiful voice was carried to her ears. "Have I told you how much I love to hear you sing? It's so beautiful." As the continued to walk, they made their way past the park entrance and then began to walk down the street toward the subway entrance. That was the way Butterfly's brother went and that's how she would go. When the wind picked up a bit, Butterfly took off her jacket and wrapped it around Paige's shoulders to help keep her warm and kissed her forehead before continuing on. "We'll be there soon. And we can stay as long as you want, Baby. As long as I get to spend time with you, I'm happy."

Paige gave a hearty laugh. "The better question would be I have a good side. I'm usually not exactly a Little Miss Sunshine, if you know what I mean. And..." Paige blushed deeper this time.
"I don't think I'm that great a vocalist. I focus more on my playing. But...I appreciate the compliment." She nuzzled into Butterfly a little more, and then the wind died down.

She chuckled at Paige speaking about her bad side and smiled at Paige's blushing, "But you are great at singing and an amazing guitar player as well. You're so talented and I enjoy every bit of it. And of course no one is a Little Miss Sunshine all the time. Believe it or not, I have a bad side too. I just don't get to show it very often." As Paige nuzzled her, Butterfly breathed a deep happy sigh and just enjoyed a few seconds of quiet as she walked on with her girlfriend, savoring the wonderful feeling of love that resonated within her soul. As she heard Paige's grumble about the wind, she giggled and walked her and Paige onto the subway train that would take them to the mall. She felt amazing just being with her. She thought to herself, "No day in paradise could ever feel as wonderful as being with her and feeling her loving arms around me."

Paige held her close, kissing her cheek. "Thanks for the compliments. Those are talents I spent years perfecting. That, and being a bitch. I promise you're just lucky and haven't seen that yet. The majority of the time, I'm not this sweet. At all." She sighed softly, wondering why she wanted Chloe to know how awful she could really be. But it seemed that nothing she said would work.
They got off the subway in the mall, the same mall Chloe and Ty had been to months ago, not that Paige had any way of knowing that. What she did notice was that the crowd had thinned when they got off and not many people were looking at them. So, to show her appreciation for Chloe's honesty and how she felt about her, Paige planted a sincere, loving, deep kiss on her lips.
After a while, she tenderly broke the contact. "Okay, now let's go shopping~" She said with a twinkle in her eyes.

Butterfly smirked at Paige, knowing that everyone had a bad side to them. She just figured that she'd see it eventually. Not wanting to push things any further, Butterfly walked off the subway and into the mall and looked around thinking about all the places in the mall that she and Paige should go and visit. When suddenly, Paige planted that amazing sweet, loving kiss on her lips and it took her aback for a moment and she felt herself sink into the deep kiss as her surprise slipped out of her body through the exhale through her nose as she continued to kiss Paige. She felt her face grow warm and as Paige broke their kiss, Butterfly just looked at her with love-struck eyes and struggled to regain her words afterwards. As Paige suggested that they go shopping, Butterfly nodded her head and said, "Yes, let's. Where should we head first? What's your favorite place to go when you go shopping?"

Paige shrugged a little, chuckling. "You lead the way hun. I'm not used to shopping on a budget, so most of the places I like to go are really expensive. And sadly, I can't afford that anymore." She gave a weak smile, obviously not too fond of the idea that she was poor, but hey, at least she had a couple of friends. And Butterfly.
