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.

Tses woke up to the sound of a scream that send her flying out of bed in a terrified twitch, falling through the end table as green light illuminated the room. In her head, she still heard laughter, and she was sitting with the lamp cord draped through her shoulder as she tried to make sense of her surroundings. The hotel room came back, and then she realized the yelling had come from Ty. Cautiously standing and moving over, she tried to put a hand on his shoulder.
Her hand just went through him. She cussed under her breath. "Ty, hey, it's ok. You're right, it was just a dream. You're ok." It would have been more comforting if she could have made contact with him, but her pulse kept racing and the fear in her system was stopping her from letting go of her light form.

Ty looked over at Tses, now a being of pure green light, and he almost screamed again. Fear gripped at his throat, and he lay there shaking, trembling. "Yeah..." he choked, his voice hoarse. "It seemed so real...first I was walking. Then you were dangling from a cliff, and I saved you...and we kissed. Then we were in an interrogation room...and you were...dead. Then I was hanging from the cliff...but...I fell..." he squeaked. His voice was still hoarse. He was still trembling. Under the covers, he kicked off his jeans, trying to keep himself from burning up.
Tses almost backed away again as Ty faced her, expression somewhat horrified as he looked at her. She glanced down at her light form and her heart twinged slightly. Right, so glowing ghost figure was probably not very comforting. But she didn't know what else to do. As he repeated the dream she tried to sit on the bed next to him. Her skin finally shifted back, and she gently touched Ty's shoulder.
"It doesn't feel hot to me... You might just be having a panic attack or something. It's just a bad dream, just try to calm down and think of something else." She wasn't good with advice. She knew what it was like having nightmares. She still got claustrophobic and still woke up in cold sweats when her dreams amplified that fear. But She knew there was little anyone could do to dissipate it until her mind broke free of the clutches of the dream.

Ty relaxed considerably as she became herself again and touched his shoulder. He leaned into her hand, closing his eyes. Love is death... He tried to block out his brain recalling the dream. I cannot die...
"Thanks...I just...I don't want to lose you...not again...not permanently..." he whimpered a little. "It was just a dream. I'll be okay," he said, his voice starting to steady a bit. Having her there was helping quite a bit. As long as he didn't see that image of her in the interrogation room again.
Suddenly, he threw the blanket and sheets off of himself, in an attempt to cool off. Then, completely uncaring that he was wearing only a solid black pair of boxers, lay his head on her good shoulder. He took deep, shaky breaths at first, but after several moments, they became normal again. Steady. Like Ty usually was.
Ty slowly seemed to calm down, and Tses felt her own nerves settling. At least, until he pushed the sheets back and she realized he was in his boxes. Holycrapwhendidthathappen? He was leaning against her good shoulder, but she was trying hard not to stare at him. Her face was burning and she glanced the other way. Someone, she wondered if she'd ever really be comfortable in situations like this.
"Hey, I'm pretty indestructible. You don't have to worry about me." Tses tried comforting with a smile. She knew it was a lie but she was trying to make him feel better one way or another. She had managed to stay alive against the odds this long, hadn't she? She was hurt, sure, but not dead yet!

Ty smiled as she spoke; he wished she was indestructible. That both of them were. Then, neither of them would have anything whatsoever to worry about. They could just live and grow old together, no worries.
He noticed her body language, however. Her face was bright red and she was looking the other way. [/i]Why...?[/i] "Oh! Crap! Uh..." He blushed, coming to his senses, at least a little. "I'm sorry...I did say it was hot," he said lightly, chuckling a little, albeit nervously. "Well...you know...it was bound to happen eventually. I mean, we are living together right now. And I normally sleep like this. Not with you, I mean...uh...yeah." He looked at her, then idly looked at the wall behind her.
Tses felt awkward. It was a mixture of emotions, really. Part of her didn't mind seeing him like that, part of her felt shy, part of her felt embarrassed that she felt embarrassed... She rubbed the back of her neck and looked at her knees. The fish-nets were digging into her scarred skin.
"It's fine, I mean, it's not like it's not something I haven't seen, I just...You got new tattoos..." She finished lamely and glanced at the wall, then down again. "You know me, I just don't do skin...Not that there's anything wrong with yours...." She finally buried her face in her hands, then let her head flop back into the wall with a light thunk. "Hi, I'm Tses. I suck at relationships." She muttered under her breathe and shut her eyes.

Ty nodded, a soft look on his face. "I know. But that was an isolated situation, I guess. In the heat of a moment, things that normally tend to bother you don't mean anything." A light laugh escaped his throat.
"Yeah, I did. The hummingbird was sort of a punishment for trying to steal from the wrong ink-manipulator," he explained. "But instead of covering it up, I got the fish to go with it. Then, I realized in a way, the hummingbird represents the ink-manipulator. The fish represents me. Each one represents someone else in my life. The spider-web is a mutant who can control spiders. Friend of mine who damn-near gets us killed every time we hang out. The moon and the butterfly, I think you know. You two get my left arm because it's closest to my heart."
He turned around so she could see his back. "The circle is for a memory-manipulator. Intriguing, yet there's something ominous about it. And the tiger-striped slashes in the middle of it...they're my mother. She's got hers on my back because I can't see it that way. But I know it's there. And each one of these, good bad, or otherwise, are a part of me now." Finishing his explanation, he smiled at her. He didn't explain the roach; he didn't have to explain the roach.
"Hi, I'm Ty," he answered, then planted a soft kiss on her lips. "And I love you anyway."
Tses listened quietly as he explained the different tattoos and how they represented people in his life. In a way, it made her feel sad. She really didn't have people like that. The only person she really had was Ty. "Never did get a tattoo... scars don't ink so well..." She said quietly. She fiddled with the wraps on her arms again. She was going to have a new scar on her shoulder to add to the collection.
She gave a little smile when he kissed her though, and chuckled softly. "You know, I used to cringe when I'd hear you say that...never realized how much I'd miss it."

"I didn't think I'd ever want one, until I was given the pink one against my will. Then I got the fish the old fashioned way, and I guess I was hooked." Ty took a breath as she said she missed hearing him say he loved her.
"I remember I was practically scared to death of saying it. Unless it was to family..." His voice trailed off. Family. Him, Mischief, Chloe, and Tses. Right now, that was his family. Not all tied by blood, but linked together.
"To both of us, it was something new. And scary. But we both missed it when it was gone." He sat so he was next to her, his back against the wall as well. He wrapped his arm around her; he was sitting on her good side, so he let his hand rest on the small of her back.
The thought occurred to him that he should put some pants on. Eh...he would if she said something about it.
Fish, hooked. She almost laughed, but part of her was still just a little too sad to. She looked at the ceiling again, eyes rolling back any tears that would have otherwise started making their way out of her eyes. It was hard, listening to Ty. As happy as she was for him, she was sad for herself. She didn't really have 'friends', and really only had one person she let be important in her life. Chloe was almost like a sister, but then they broke up, and she felt like she lost that too. Emotionally, and physically, she was scared, and it prevented her from being like Ty.
As sat next to her she let her head drop to rest against his shoulder. He still wasn't wearing pants, but she let it go this time. She tried to keep her emotions in check, but green light still started to crawl across her arms. At least she wasn't falling through anything right now though. "What are your friends like?" She asked quietly.

"My friends?" he asked, thinking about them for a second as he rubbed her back, hand slowly and carefully slipping under her shirt to touch skin. "Well...let's see. Megan's where the spider-web came from. She takes our adventurous side to the extreme. Every time--well...both times we were together, we almost died. More than once. It's a rush. Noel--the circle, has a similar mutation to mine. I found her intimidating, yet intriguing. Because where my mutation gave me an advantage over everyone else, hers made the playing field even. Then Alli...well, she's different. I mean, we're on good terms now, but I'm not sure about friends. The night we broke up I was blasting music in my room and she came in and yelled at me. As revenge, I broke into her room. Tried to steal her jacket, but my power activated on it. She caught me, I got the tattoo."
He leaned against her a little. "Only recently did I really get friends. But the two most important to me are the ones on my left arm.
Ty's friends....were all girls. It was almost impossible to listen as he talked about them without at least the occasional pang of jealousy. The jealousy was twisted in a weird way, though. Part of her was jealous on a romantic level, and part of her was just jealous she couldn't say the same. Most of the people she met were less than delighted to be around her. She terrorized one girl about her wedding plans, got one kid locked in the danger room and the other in trouble... But still, something about the tattoo on his arm felt meaningful, regardless. She glanced at it again then looked away.
"Why'd you get it... I mean, I was gone. We broke up. I wouldn't think your x would be someone 'important'..." She said quietly. The light on her arm flickered and faded again as her emotions came back down.

He didn't realize the jealousy; heck, he didn't even notice all his friends were girls. "You were never just an ex. I don't remember you believing me the times before now when I said I always cared for you, even when we were apart, but the moon on my arm...I didn't get it to prove that, but in a way, it does show that I always cared. I love you. That never changed. Isn't going to."
He gave a nod, continuing to rub her back a little, barely touching her skin.
Tses wasn't sure why the wall seemed so blurry all of a sudden, then she realized she'd started to cry. She quickly swiped a hand across her face, managing to keep the renegade tears in check, but the emotions that had sparked couldn't be brushed aside quite as easily. She had to be dreaming, had to be imagining all of this. She pushed everyone aside, why was he still here? Part of her still wanted to run, wanted to hide from the feelings she was facing. He was going to hurt her again... He was going to let her down. The pain from her shoulder seemed to be infecting her heart, making that hurt too. Then she glanced at the tattoo again. She could feel his hand on her skin... The fear couldn't overwhelm the desperation she had just to have someone near again.
Leaning over, she kissed him softly on the mouth then put her head on his shoulder. It was still a little awkward cuddling with him like that, him in his boxers and her with pretty much every inch of skin covered but her face. But there was something more open in her actions, more caring. "I missed you. Just...don't leave again."Alone, alone, alone.... She pulled closer to him and shut her eyes.
