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.
MRO is an intermediate to advanced writing level original character, original plot X-Men RPG. We've been open and active since October of 2005. You can play as a mutant, human, or Adapted— one of the rare humans who nullify mutant powers by their very existence. Goodies, baddies, and neutrals are all welcome.

Quin nodded her head, Ashton had gotten his breakfast while she'd been sleeping through the alarm she hadn't set. She took a bit of bagel, then another couple and smiled her approval.
As to her tea.
"It's good as far as big box tea is concerned." she shrugged her shoulders, "I like it much better loose leaf and brewed with an infuser though. I also found this delicious little thing called German Rock Sugar...most delicious ever."
For a moment she studied Ashton across the table, "You'd like this citrus tea I've got. I'll have to brew you a cup sometime."

She talked about boxed vs loose, and he got her. He was the same with coffee... though definitely nowhere near some snogs. Er. Snobs. Connoisseurs, he clarified mentally, uncertain of where that first word had come from. He always liked his coffee, although sometimes he just took it black. That's what the station usually had. Sometimes, it was garbage. It depended on what the station or the squad sprang for. Sometimes, they even had donuts. Those went well with anything.
He nodded his head at all of her comments. Then, arched an eyebrow. She was studying him.
Ashton's mouth spread into a grin at her suggestion. "That sounds like a lot of fun. It's a date."

A date? So it was. Quin smiled and toasted Ashton with her paper cup of tea before setting it down.
Did they need to talk about things more? Lay down some ground rules for when they got home? Quin kept right on studying Ashton across the table. She had trusted him with her life for all this time, surely she could trust his discretion. After all, he'd been the one to originally suggest that they could lay low...
No, she decided, there wasn't really anything to talk about. Her phone beeped, then died, and the redhead heaved a deep sigh.
"It turns out phones don't charge unless you plug them in." she groaned. What an idiot she'd been.

She toasted the 'date' comment. He raised his paper cup right back. Then, her phone beeped and she groaned.
"Hm," Ashton pursed his lips in thought. That could be a problem. "Maybe we should check you in manually and get you a paper and ink ticket real quick, since we have the time. Or, we could double on my phone." Either would work. She'd just have to log in to her e-mail on his phone if they chose that. No big.
He took another drink, then finished his coffee off. Ah, caffeine. Nectar of the Gods. Would he like tea more? Maybe. But there was no problem with liking each, equally. As for vegetarian meals and diet foods... well, he wasn't so sure about those.

Man. How had they gone from being early to being rushed for time? Oh yeah...she'd slept in and missed her alarm...and forgotten to plug it in to charge...then she'd sat and eaten breakfast while it died.
"I'm a disaster." she said, shoulders slumping as she stood and grabbed her luggage.

"Quin," Ashton stopped her. Put a hand on her shoulder. Kept her from running for the check-in counter / hills. He looked her in the eye, then caught her chin, tilting it into a brief and chaste kiss. As he pulled away from her he smiled. His index finger was still resting against her chin. "I know disasters," he said, tone serious, if slightly amused. He didn't break eye contact as he finished. "And disaster, you ain't."
"You just got off to a late start, is all, and had a lot on your mind. Which is fine, because--" He trailed off on that unneeded addition with a small smile, watching how she reacted to the kiss.

Wow. Was that ever going to feel normal?
I wasn't that the little kiss was awkward, or that Quin had forgotten the monumental step that had been taken on the way to the airport. It was just that the last kiss had been in-between two private hotel rooms, not in a crowded airport.
Still, she reminded herself, as the color rushed to her cheeks and she looked up at Ashton, lips slightly parted in surprise. All of those people were minding their own business and not even looking at the two of them...and who really cared if they were?

His lips came together in an amused smile. "Because there's a lot to think about." He said. And didn't put any awkwardness-inducing emphasis on it, or anything. His thumb brushed against her chin. He held that position for all of a second, and then--
Ashton bent to snag his luggage, and turned back to Quin.
Mimicking the delivery she'd done before, he said "Let's go."

Quin blinked for a moment after Ashton bent to retrieve his bags, then pursed her lips and followed after him with her eyes. She'd known he was some kind of smooth operator with the ladies, but goodness he was disarming. That chin tilt thing...and the thumb. Smooth indeed.
It was time to go though, they were on a schedule. Work was going to happen in the morning whether they missed their flight or not, and as it was they weren't scheduled to land in New York until late that evening. There was also the fact that Ashton was leaving without her.
"Hey! Wait up!" she called, taking off to catch up, 'I’m the one who needs the ticket!"
