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 pointed at the newspaper, and Tses glanced that direction then back at him with a 'look'. Newspapers were up there in the category with books in her mind. Lots of scribbles, not much meaning. "Gotta tell you. Never did get into papers much. Don't exactly spark my interest." She said sarcastically and rolled the rest of the way onto her back. Her shoulder protested and the movement tugged at the bandages but they stayed in place. Her arms were feeling cold again. She never did go back to grab her t-shirt...
"I spent most my life sleep in boxes and on roofs. I'm not sure how great I'll be picking a place. It's sort of 'got four walls? Cool!'"[/b] She shrugged, then flinched. Shrugging wasn't a good idea. Shrugging hurt.

Ty smiled as she spoke with the sarcasm he'd grown to miss. When she rolled off of him, Ty stood up, grabbing the classifieds and going back to the bed and sitting next to her.
"Well, I'm looking for somewhere liveable, but not too shady a neighborhood. Let's see...One bedroom, one bath, living area, kitchen area...No pets...Nope. Here's one available that does allow pets...But there's a community laundry room." He looked at her, shrugging. Honestly, this was actually kind of nice. It was...normal couple stuff.
"Community laundry room only works if I can stick explosives in other peoples laundry." Tses sneered, putting one arm behind her head. Her other arm fiddled with the blankets aimlessly as she tried not to move it too much. She looked up at the ceiling again.
"You know, never did have a pet of my own. Hard to feed an animal when I couldn't really feed myself. But it's sorta nice I think. And plus, when you only have one cat verses like fifty they don't make the house smell." She added as an after thought, glancing at the little kitten. She still wasn't a fan of litter boxes though. Ty was stuck with that job.

Ty smiled. "That would likely get us kicked out...but man would I want a piece of that," Ty replied. "Yeah...I understand. This is the first pet I had since I was a kid. And...well, I think I told you that story." His voice got dark, as in he'd really not mention his father again. Ever.
"Yeah. I keep Mischief's clean on a regular basis. Just so it won't ever smell like cat. Because...well that's kinda nasty." He chuckled. "A lot nasty."
He was actually surprised she was handling this well, but if she was anything like he remembered, this was just the eye of the storm. The longer the calm, the bigger the storm. So inside, Ty was braced for anything.
The conversation hit sensitive territory, and Tses mentally side stepped it. They both had skeletons in their past---well, Ty's dad was more of a real skeleton now, but that was another matter entirely... "Yeah, I had to help Maggie out a few times with her cats, I swore I'd never do it again." A jolt of emotional pain went through her saying the old woman's name, and she glanced towards the window. "Crazy old lady..." She whispered momentarily as she sucked in a breathe. She sat up quickly, feeling suddenly desperate for a glass of water.
"Anyway, I guess if you find something that at least has most of it's utilities contained within the room like my old apartment, that would be good. I mean, that wasn't the best, but it worked..." Her hands shook as she tried to turn on the sink. Light crawled across her arms monetarily, then she shut it back down. Deep breath. Control. She tried to think of something else as the cup filled with water.

"Yeah," he replied, also side-stepping the looming conversation of doom. "Hmmm..." He skimmed over the paper. "Hmmm...nope. Nope. Hell no...hey! This one looks like your old apartment. Oh, it is your old apartment...And this one is the one under it. Grrr..." he grumbled under his breath.
"You know, this is nice and all, but after we find a place I hope we don't have to do this again for a looong time." But when would they have to? Well, police raids, mutant attacks, other looming danger...kids.
Ty choked on that last one. Yeah...kids, the least likely yet the most terrifying of any problem they could face.
"Bingo! All basic living accommodations in room, a bedroom, a bathroom, living area, kitchen...No Kids...I think we found one, Wisp~"
Tses nearly choked on the glass of water when Ty started going down the list of apartments. As well as her old place had worked, there were too many memories tangled there she couldn't deal with. And the one below her... "Snobby little blonde b--" Getting stabbed by a guitar shard sort of put that one on the black list as well.
She filled the cup of water up again, and nearly dropped it when Ty blurted out he found something. She glanced over, brain listing the details. "That sounds like it could work. So I guess you just have to call and get it sorted out or something? I don't really know how this sort of stuff works. Last time I just gave money to the first for rent sign I found and said give me the keys..." She shrugged.
She put down the glass before she dropped it. The light kept flickering on and off on her arms. She drifted towards the window and cracked it slightly. Air was good... Her arms were freezing but the cold felt nice as her brained tried to process everything.

Ty blinked, but opted not to ask about Tses's outburst. Someone who probably got on her bad-side. Lots of people did that. Heck, he was sure he found himself on that list on many an occasion. "Yeah, I'll take care of that. Then if all goes well we can make the switch when you're ready. Don't wanna overdo it or anything."
Picking up his cell-phone, he walked out and made the call. When he walked back in, he was hanging up. "They want to meet with us. Make sure we're 'up to standard.'" He made the air-quotes with his fingers. "They're real big on the no kids thing, and want to know who's interested in their apartment."
Ty left to make the phone call and Tses moved to the couch to to sit, leaving her cup on the counter. Once the weight was off her leg she realized how much it was stinging. Not overdoing it... that seemed like it'd be a challenge with her.
As he returned she snorted, and crossed her arms with a snarky grin. "Up to standards. You do realize who you're dating, right? Did you tell them you and your explosive mutant girlfriend want to have a place, and oh, by the way, she has the emotional range of a 6 year old? You're sort of dating a kid..." She said with a shake of her head. Mischief mewed from the corner. In her head she decided the cat agreed with her.
"But if I must, I'll promise not to chew on the furniture." She purred slyly.

"Relax. They just wanna do the formalities in person before I fill out the paperwork and give them their first month's rent. I told them we were a young couple in need of permanent living conditions, and we have no interest in having kids right now--which we don't." He chuckled, grabbing his glove and putting it on his hand.
Tses still felt doubtful about the whole idea, but if Ty thought they could get it, why not? Although there were still problems in the long run about living there... Tses was sort of destructive when it came to living quarters, and the bathroom mirror was testifying to that. If there was a security deposit, they were never getting it back... "So, we put on happy smiley faces, promise not to destroy their place, get the apartment. Sounds easy enough I guess." She looked down at her arms and picked at a scab that hadn't quite healed from falling off the fire escape.
"Fire escapes are nice too..." She mused with an after thought. Even after their last disaster with one, she couldn't survive without at least being able to climb out into the night air every once and awhile. If she was ever rich, she'd buy a place with it's own balcony. That would be nice....Or a moon roof. That would be even cooler.

Ty smiled, nodding. "Yeah, pretty much. They do have a you break it, you fix it policy though," he said politely. "You'll love our place then. It's on the very top floor. No balcony, but it's got a fire escape, and you can take the stairs up to the roof, and there are actually places to sit. According to the person I talked to on the phone, no one really goes up there though. So it'll be our treat."
He winked, actually sold on this place. "They're expecting us. You need some help getting ready?" he offered. "As much as I enjoy seeing you dressed like this, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who's that lucky."
Fire escape, rooftop, places to sit. That didn't sound so bad. Tses needed the air anyway, although she wasn't sure how long it would take to be climbing around like her normal spider monkey self with her busted shoulder. Then again, she'd climbed around New York with one bad arm before. She could probably do it again...
"At least it's not a ground floor or something. Those are just boring."
As he moved towards the door, she glanced down and remembered the t-shirt she hadn't put on yet. She was about to go get it when Ty's comment froze her in her tracks. Past Tses might have thrown something at him for that. Middle ground Tses might have just snarked a little. But this Tses paused, considering her options, and in the end, she gave a look over her shoulder before moving into the bathroom. "I can dress myself, thankyouverymuch." She came out wiggling back into the t-shirt, ignoring the painful twinges shooting through her arm.
She shoved past him into hallway, but not before remarking as she passed. "Maybe if you ask nicely though, I'll let you help take it back off later." It was hard to tell if she was serious or joking though. She was handing him a gun with an undisclosed number of bullets in the chambers. No telling when or if one would fire.

Ty nodded at the mention of ground floors, blinking as she merely said she could do it herself and went into the bathroom. He didn't know if she'd changed, or if it was the pain meds and past events working together to make her seem mellow.
Ty smiled as she shoved past him. That was the Tses he remembered. But then it was gone as she made a remark that made Ty's eyes grow big and his heart start racing. Either that was an offer, or it was a dare...he wasn't sure which, but he tested the waters.
"I don't know how you meant that, but I'm going to take my chances and behave," he murmured somewhat playfully.
Tses ignored Ty's answer, moving to the elevator with a mischievous glint in her eyes. Maybe it was mean to give him hope, but maybe it would work out for him in the end. Tses hadn't changed much from the first time they met. She was racing along rooftops, daring him to keep up. If he could, he could keep her, if he didn't, she'd just keep running. But now and days, she would almost slow down to make sure he didn't fall behind. She was trying, slowly, to bridge the gap, find a connection, learn to be at least a little more normal. They could start with the house, but maybe from there, other things would fall into place.
Before long they were heading to the apartment, and then she was looking at the place they might soon call home. It was definitely a bit nicer than her last place, and she wasn't quite sure if that was good or bad yet.
