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 jumped when the door opened. He didn't expect her to be done so soo--wait...she was wearing just a towel. Then, his face turned beet red after the kitten darted past her leg and the towel dropped. Sure, he'd seen her naked before, but...this was different, and awkward. He bit his lip.
There was no right way to do this. Either way was risky, but he opted to stay on the bed where it was safe. Wait...he was sitting up. No, don't turn and stand up! What? He was walking to the door! Ty must have had a death-wish. He didn't open the door, however. "Tses? You okay?" he asked. It was dumb. It was stupid. It was cheesy, but it was all he could think of to say.
Tses didn't answer, at least not right away. She was more determined to drown herself in the shower than anything else. It was dumb, they had, and she had, and he, but then---UGH!!! She let her head hit the wall with a light thump. The bathroom had a wet litter smell to it now.
>>"You okay?"
Dumb question. Tses crossed her arms over her chest and scooted closer to the water. Her shoulder stung. Crossing arms was not comfortable after getting shot.
"I'm fine, as just getting bandages, and then, I just.... I'll just stay in here and drown." She muttered at the end. Lying. Nailed it.

Ty blinked. "No, don't do that..." he sighed. "Tses, I know this is awkward right now. But you know sooner or later..." his voice trailed off. "I mean...we...once...uhm..." He paused. "Okay so I got nothin."
Ty leaned against the door, but discovered the hard way that it wasn't completely closed. It flew open insted of supporting his weight, and so he found himself lying on the hard bathroom floor, spitting out a string of cuss words in a very Tses-like fashion.
Darn right it was awkward. The towel was still at the door, her shoulder was bleeding, she didn't grab the bandages, and the bathroom door was--
--openinggggggg....
Tses would have been cussing if Ty hadn't beat her to it, and she was glad the curtain was at least somewhat opaque. Her face was burning enough she was pretty sure the water had turned up a few degrees. She buried her face against the wall and light crawled up her arms. "Ouuuutttt." She instructed, barely keeping her temper in check. Exploding things in the bathroom would end badly. She already broke the mirror, they didn't need more damage.

Ty's throatarmchestback hurt, and he wanted just to lay there, staring at the sink in his dismay. But the disgruntled words of his girlfriend rang in his ears, and he scrambled to his feet, only to trip, fall, and cuss again. Instead, the redhead just opted to crawl out of there, standing up only once he was out, and only then to pull the door closed and dive onto the bed, burrowing under the covers much like a scared child.
As Ty fell, cussed again, Tses almost felt bad, but her embarrassment prevented her from trying to stop him from leaving. She was still awkwardly unclothed, the shower was still running, and until she at least got dressed they weren't talking more. Finally the door shut and she turned off the water, carefully climbing out this time and drying off. Blood got on the towel, but she at least got dressed into jeans and an undershirt before slowly moving out of the bathroom. The cold air stung her shoulders, skin sending uneven signals where the scars numbed her flesh. Grabbing the bandages off the bathroom counter, she moved to where Ty was hiding and dropped the supplies on the bed.
"Do me a favor, next time hit me in the leg or something. I frickin' hate not being able to reach my shoulder..." She muttered, face still pink. The camisole she was wearing was black for now, but if she got blood on it that might change a little.

Ty peeked out from under the covers. "You say this like I'm going to shoot you again. I'm never shooting a gun again. Period. I hate those damn things anyway..." He wasn't cold, but he found himself trembling a little, his face beet red. This was too much. It was just..weird. He'd just seen her...and now she was clothed...sort of, but it was still awkward. Like a heavy tension was settling in the room.
Standing up, Ty walked over to the trash can, picked it up, and set it in front of Tses. "Do me a favor. Drop an explosive in there," he said.
Ty didn't always make sense, but today, he was extra strange. She looked down at the trashcan, bandages still sitting on the bed. "You want me to blow up the trash can?" She said in confusion. That didn't seem to make much sense, but she wasn't sensing quite as much tension as he was. He was the one who had been wandering around half dressed in the first place. But she shrugged and finally made a little orb and it landed with a pop into the trashcan.
BANG! The metal rattled and it fell over, rolling across the floor. Mischief jumped on the other end of the room, then dutifully attacked the offensive noisy barrel. She turned back to Ty. "Happy now? Whether or not you're ever shooting anything, still kinda can't bandage my damn shoulder, so that would, help, you know..."

"It'll make me feel better," he explained. Honestly, that was all he himself knew. It'd make him feel better. That was it. When it exploded, he found himself smiling, a ton lifted off of his shoulders. He winced a little at how she was talking, but he picked up the bandages and began to wrap the wound for her.
He bit his lip, face still beet red. "Sorry..." he muttered meekly.
As Ty moved to help, Tses finally relaxed, and the last spark of her temper faded. She looked at the trash can, and wondered if that had been part of it. It was likely, but she wasn't sure why. Maybe things just had to blow up between them before they ever got calm again.
"Sorry, I didn't meant to snap, I just feel awkward. It's not just the dumb shower or any of that." She glanced down at her arms, tracing a few scars with her fingers. He might not care what she looked like, but she always did. If she had her way there would be no mirrors in the house she lived in. For someone with as much ego as she had, her confidence about her appearance was pretty minimal. "Thanks." She added, nodding towards the bandages. She watched Mischief roll around with the trash can, knocking loose papers out of it. She wished she had some of the toys like Maggie used to.

"It's okay. It happens. I didn't mean to see you naked. Or fall into the bathroom while you were in there." He managed a smile. "You know, that really did make me feel better." Ty took another breath, just looking at her. He let his hand run up and down her good arm, still not having bothered to put his glove on. Gently, he traced the scars, his mind wondering.
Maybe one day she'd be comfortable with...Maybe they'd be able to have more moments one day. Leaning in, he kissed her gently.
Awkward. Her face turned pink again, but the embarrassment faded a little as he smiled. He wasn't trying to make the situation more uncomfortable. Or was he? As he leaned in to kiss her, her brain got somewhat distracted. Part of her was wondering if they hadn't broken up, would things have been different. Heck they had at least one moment that had only started in explosions... It had been sweet in the end. She kissed him back, more careful this time not to move her shoulder more than she needed to.
Injuries did not make for romantic settings. At least the pain meds had kicked in, and there was no glowing. Walking through the proverbial mine field just for a kiss....

Ty's face never really turned back to pale white. It was either pink, or beet red. There really was no way around the awkwardness. Risking his health for a kiss was something Ty had gotten used to a long time ago, even if he hadn't done so in awhile. But something about that added an extra burst of adrenaline to the mix of emotions and hormones. Heh...hormones. For a second he wondered how those affected someone like Tses. Maybe she kept them in check; she seemed tough enough to. Or maybe she was so tough she didn't have any. Pulling away, he lay back across the bed, feet barely off of the floor. After what had just happened, Ty made a point not to take things too far.
Tses had hormones, and they were bouncing all over the place. Sure, she wanted to pretend she didn't feel anything sometime, and she tried her best to detach herself from those emotions. But her brain still buzzed happily after a kiss, and her skin still tingled when he moved away. Sometimes she wondered what things could be like if she stopped being so distant and just enjoyed the moment. But then she caged her emotions again and put up the walls.
She carefully curled up next to Ty and put her head on his chest, bad shoulder off the bed. "So, when are we doing this apartment hunting thing?" She ventured.

Ty smiled as she lay her head on his chest, and let his bare hand idly run through her still-damp hair. He wasn't sure what was going on in her head at any given time. After all, he wasn't that kind of psychic. But regardless, there was no doubt in his mind how she really felt about him, deep down. He just had so many regrets...
"Hm?" Ty was shaken from his daze when Tses spoke. "Oh, uhm...I'm not really sure. I mean I got a newspaper over there on the table with all the for rent stuff. I guess whenever you're up to it. Unless you wanna leave the dirty work to yours truly." He winked.
