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.

He knew he really shouldn't have laughed, but... he was a jerk.
"You don't need to change lives to have a hobby. But maybe we can teach you knitting, or some more recipes. Cake-baking. Or how to make a pot roast. Or how to be the most beautiful woman in the -- wait, no. You've already got that hobby down to a science. My mistake." He smirked.

Laughter was not what Riley had been expecting when she'd pointed out that she needed a hobby, but it was what she got.
Riley tried still...she tried to imagine herself doing some of the things that Aurum brought up. Knitting was ridiculous, there was no way she was patient enough to sit in one spot and make afghans. Baking was slightly less ridiculous, but she still couldn't cook an egg unless Aurum was standing right there to make sure she didn't burn it...so that wasn't a viable option either.
The brunette shrugged her shoulders and scowled slightly. "Haven't I ever told you that flattery gets you nowhere?" she said, then made herself a liar by smiling slightly.

"Ultimate Fighting Championship?" He suggested innocuously.
He didn't see the pillow coming at 300 miles per hour until it hit him in the face. He laughed as he caught it.
"Kidding, kidding. Although I bet you could take out the green ranger if you tried. Seriously, though, I still think cooking would be a good hobby. But if you want to leave that to me... scrapbooking? Video games? Reading? Writing? Arithmetic? No on that last one. You aren't Shin. Maybe you could take up being a part-time mechanic, or get a second job?" All of them could potentially be good options, although all of them could also be really bad. The image of Riley trying to fix a car, nose with a spot of oil, hands all greasy, wrench in hand, was a funny one. Although he preferred the imagine the pin-up version of that mental image.

Riley frowned more and more as Aurum spoke. Scrapbooking? What was she going to do, paste negatives from her photo sessions? Video Games? She couldn't remotely see herself in sweats with dirty cheeto fingers in front of a computer screen.
Reading, Writing, Arithmatic. Even though the last had been a joke, Riley laughed for the first time since this conversation had started.
The only thing that sounded remotely interesting was...the last one. It was something Riley had never considered, but the idea rang and bounced around her head like it had a life of its own.
"Maybe I will get another job." If nothing else, it would fill the time between shoots.
She glanced back at Aurum. "Don't know about the mechanic gig...though I did do a shoot like that once...." The end of the statement hung in the air.

"Bet you looked good," he replied matter-of-factly, then moved on. "What kind of job do you think would interest you? It'd have to leave time for me and your modeling. By the way--" He kissed her again, on the cheek. "That's for the pillow smash."
"There are a lot of options, if you're not too picky. Fast food is out of the question. Office jobs are boring... though you'd look killer in a pencil skirt." He held his chin as he considered it considerately. "White blouse and glasses. Librarian's the same. You could put your hair up and let it flow down as you shake your head. Could take up more modeling gigs, for chain stores and the like, or try acting. You could even try selling houses." He finished his list.

It was a given that she had looked good in the shoot, and Aurum didn't make a big deal out of it. He also gave her a kiss for hitting him in the face with a pillow. That was something. Maybe he was a sadist and it had just been lurking under the surface all this time.
She smiled though, when Aurum pointed out that fast food was out of the question and office jobs were boring. He was right, and they weren't things she'd be remotely interested in doing...and that was deal-breaker.
Two more got checked off the list as time went on, but towards the end, she got interested again. When he was done talking, she pursed her lips.
"I don't think I could take a career seriously if I'd done shoots related to it...so that ousts the secretary and the librarian. Real estate sounds interesting though...think someone in my business would be taken seriously?"

"You think they'd care? I have an aunt who was on Magnum. She's a realtor, and she does fine."
He smirked at her, happy she liked the idea. He had to admit, sitting at home all day had to be boring. "Feel free to wear a pencil skirt and put your hair up whenever you want, by the way. Doesn't have to be taken seriously, or for a job. You'd look good."
"I can think of a few things," Aurum smiled. He left her to ask or assume. The 'charming, disarming' smile move was weaker than usual, due to the black eye, but... who knew?
Getting a job wasn't a bad idea. She could be a career woman. It'd give her more to talk about when he came to visit, and more to do when she wasn't on-the-job. All around, it seemed like a good idea.
