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 looked at the clock on his phone, which he'd thankfully remembered this time. Charlotte was running late. He would have called her, but...he didn't have her number yet. Hopefully by the end of the night his behavior will have earned--
"Eeeeee!" The boy suddenly jumped, letting out a very not-masculine-at-all sort of squeal, nearly taking flight from the tickling feeling of being poked in the sides. His weakness.
He turned to face her, beet red and looking at the ground. "Hey," he murmured. "Yeah...I'm ticklish." He smiled nervously.
Charlotte bit her bottom lip and stifled a laugh. It wasn't everyday one got to see a grown man yelp like a little girl. She flashed an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. But I will keep that in mind." she said with a wink. She wondered how many more times she could make him make that sound.
"And I sorta kinda got lost on the way here.." she mumbled, blushing slightly. She hadn't been lying when she said she was bad at directions. She did know how to get to the bar though, and that's all that mattered. She led them down the busy sidewalk, cutting through an alley way. After a few minutes, they were outside the bar, and she was unlocking the door. She flicked the light switch and a dull glow filled the small bar.
"So," she started, placing the keys and her purse on the bar top as she walked to the other side of it. "what's your poison?"

"Eh, it's cool. Just one of those things I can't help. Actually one of my more guarded secrets, heh." He blushed a little, but smiled at her, nonetheless. He didn't like being tickled, but as long as he wasn't pinned down or anything while it was happening, it was fine.
He pulled her a little closer with the arm that was looped in hers in order to give her a playful nudge. "Don't worry about it. You didn't stand me up so I can't complain, right?"
He followed her into the bar, looking around the empty room. It only now dawned on him that it would be just the two of them, but hey, that was just fine. Thinking back to his only time at a bar, he remembered some of what he'd had that night.
"Bourbon, on the rocks," he answered, sliding onto a stool.
"Bourbon, really?" she puzzled, raising an eyebrow. Charlotte had pegged him as more of a beer guy, but definitely not bourbon. She shrugged and pulled out a tumbler, pouring a small scoop of ice into it. She tipped the bottle of alcohol upside and watched the amber liquid fill up the glass. She pulled out a shot glass for her and filled it with the bourbon as well. She set the bottle down, and clinked her shot against his glass.
"Cheers!" She took a deep breath and took the shot, shuddering as she felt the burn in the back of her throat. The blonde wiped her lips with the back of her hand, and frowned at Ty. "How do you drink this stuff?"

"Yeah," Ty nodded. "First drink I ever legally had of alcohol. I mean, I tried beer once, but I didn't like it." Clinking glasses, he chuckled at her reaction.
"I sip it like a pansy," Ty answered, winking lightly as he took a sip of bourbon. "Honestly, I haven't drank all that much. Bourbon, I know, and I kind of like it. Brings back memories of the twenty-first birthday and all too. Good times." To anyone else, being drunk, drug into a fight, then chased by a monster, all topped off by one kiss and sleeping with a spider on one's face wouldn't count as good times. But Ty wasn't just anyone else. Maybe the kid was a bit crazy, maybe he was a lot crazy. Who knew?
Nonetheless, he had a smirk on his face as he remembered, taking a gulp of bourbon.
Charlotte could already feel the alcohol in her stomach. The warmth of the bourbon had already begun to spread, and it made her fingers tingle. "I couldn't tell you what my first legal drink was." she said with a laugh. Her twenty-first birthday was a drunken blur, and she still didn't quite known everything that happened. Too many shots of..something. She reached into the cooler and pulled out a Yuengling and twisted off the bottle-cap.
"I have to be in certain moods to drink certain things." she stated before sipping her beer. This tasted much better than the bourbon. "But most of the time I go for a Long Island Iced Tea. That's where it's at." She took another swig of her beer, smiling. "You don't look twenty-one. At all. Do I need to card you?" she laughed. She was picking at him. "'Cause I don't know many twenty-one year olds that squeal like a girl when they're poked." she added, reaching over the bar-top in an attempt to poke his side again.

Ty chuckled. "I'm twenty-one," he answered, sticking out his tongue as he took another sip of bourbon. Then, he showed her his ID. "See? April 21, 1991." The redhead smiled, shaking his head as he pocketed the identification. "I know, I don't look it. I'm just really ticklish, is why I squeal. Not that I mean to."
He blushed, taking another sip of his drink. "You know, the only reason I remember my birthday is my mutation. Touched my glove the day after and bam, there it is. Like I said, I don't drink much, actually this is my first time since April. But, hey, I do like the occasional." He grinned, shrugging lightly.
Charlotte shook her head. She didn't even look at the ID card. She sipped her beer. "I could care less if you were 21. As long as you aren't like, fifteen." she retorted, a chuckle following her statement. "You haven't drank since April!?" she gasped. She couldn't imagine going a week without a glass of wine or something. "I may be a bad influence on you then. I drink at least once a day." she said, after swallowing another sip of beer Yeah, it made her sound like an alcoholic, but she wasn't. She just enjoyed the calming effect it brought to her.
"Well, I'm not ticklish." she declared. "Although I do hate spiders. They shouldn't exist, in my opinion." If there was a spider in the room, the blonde would leave until it had been squashed and properly disposed of. Just talking about them caused her to shudder slightly.

"Just letting you know. I mean if I've been flirting with you, it's probably best that you know I am old enough to drink." He gave a wink, but it was more than likely the bourbon talking. After all, he was sort of a lightweight. "I just don't drink alot. One of those rare pleasures I indulge in."
The redhead gave a laugh, his gulps getting gradually bigger and bigger as time went on. "I took you on a joyride in a hotwired car, and you're worried about corrupting me? You might have that reversed a bit." He had to chuckle a little at the mention of spiders. "Spiders are fine, bugs are fine. Snakes though? Uh-uh. Oh, and bullets. I hate bullets."
Charlotte nodded in acknowledgement. Not many fifteen year olds tried to flirt with her. She finished her beer and tossed the bottle into the trashcan, pulling out another one immediately after. Without asking, she refilled Ty's tumbler and flashed him a smile.
"That's true. You might be a bad influence on me." she teased. She shook her head at the mention of snakes. "Absolutely not. And does anyone actually like bullets? Besides cops. They don't count." she mumbled. After today, she had a strong dislike for cops. She could have been shot!
The warmth she was feeling earlier had subsided, but it was slowly coming back with every sip of beer. She reached into her purse and retrieved a cigarette. Something about drinking always made her crave cigarettes more.

Ty chuckled as she refilled his tumbler, and he set down his almost empty glass. "Maybe I am, but hey, I haven't heard you complain~" He shuddered. "Yeah, true. I'm not to fond of cops or bullets myself." He took the last gulp of his drink, laughing lightly.
"Ya know," he said, starting to feel the effects of the alcohol, "This is good. You, me, no cops, no other jackasses around...maybe we should talk about something nice. As fun as ragging on cops and their bullets is."
Charlotte nodded and took a drag of her cigarette. "I agree, it's a nice little date." she winked at him and sipped her beer, hoping to make him blush or something of the sort. "Well, what would you like to talk about then?" She was never good at finding topics to talk about. She usually let others lead and she would follow as best as she could.
She decided to be more personal, and walked around the bar to sit on a bar stool next to him. The hand that held the cigarette also propped up her chin, and she brushed her knee against his. Maybe that was a little too personal. But that's what happened when you drank, right?

Ty blushed a little, more or less turning a nice pink-ish shade before refilling his bourbon and taking another drink. He jumped a little, surprised when he felt her knee brush his. Hell, he barely noticed her join him on his side of the bar. The redhead's free hand rested on her shoulder.
"Uh...well, I normally ain't good at coming up with conversation on the spot, but..." he thought a moment. "I do have a question. What really made you decide to hop in that car with me, and even after all that trouble, take me out like this? I mean, we just met, and surely I can't be that much of a charmer, right?"
Charlotte giggled as she watched Ty's face flush. Her plan had worked! She took a victory sip from her beer. Well, more of a victory chug. It seemed she was almost out of beer already. How quickly it disappeared.
As he proposed his question, the blonde's brow furrowed as she thought about it. And she had to think hard, apparently, as it took her a few minutes to produce an answer.
"I'm not really sure. I mean, obviously carjacking isn't something you should do. But at the same time, I kind of thought it would be fun. Just to do once. And, I felt bad that the car ended up in the lake. And I also felt bad that the cops were following us. And then we had to walk all the way back and I feel bad about that, too." she rambled. Basically she felt bad about everything. She took a drag of cigarette and then flashed him a smile. "And yeah, you're pretty charming."

Ty's face flushed a little more, growing deep red as he felt himself grow very warm due to the effects of his bourbon--which was now gone. "I don't feel very charming sometimes. Like maybe everything I do is just some desperate cry for attention." Ty shook his head, red hair swaying to and fro as he did so.
As he paused, that smile creeped back across his face."Don't feel bad. Oddly enough I'm the kinda weirdo that enjoys stuff like that. It was kind of exciting, and you saved our lives, and we got to spend the entire afternoon together. Even though we just met, it was something I needed. More than anything." He looked at her, a gleam of mischief in his eyes as the hand on her shoulder moved, arm wrapping around her a little to rest on her other shoulder.
"However, you know, there's a saying that forbidden fruit always tastes sweeter. Know why? There's always this rush of adrenaline, this deeper feeling of sheer enjoyment when you do something you're 'not supposed' to do. Maybe that's a silly thing to live for, but that's generally how I live my life. Off of that rush of breaking the rules, or even just....doing things that may or may not have consequences." He leaned in, his eyes meeting hers as he spoke. Ty may not have realized it, but maybe he was onto something.
