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.

Salt softy had made it! Adder let her lean against him, tail shifting a bit before he noticed and it fell still again. It didn't need to be moving. He just had to hang out and be still and not be racing from one thing to another.
And eat stuff, because it was there and salt softy had said outright that she wanted to share. So he should take her up on that. Sharing was... not something he was used to. It was kind of special. There seemed to be a range of people here who were willing to share with him, though he would still guard his food against them without a second thought.
This was shared-food, though, not his food, so he wouldn't steal it from salt softy. He would... he would share the shared food. Or at least try?
He was curious about the movie too, so he nudged her hand towards the screen with his nose. That was where the movie would be, yes? It had been a very long time.

Abby laughed some more when her friend nudged her to the screen. "I'm going. I'm going," she giggled before moving the mouse to the "Play" button. She got herself comfortable leaning a little on her friend while the previews played out. She was really happy she wasn't watching alone. It was more fun with someone to watch with.
Abby watched the beginning as best she could. She never liked what Jim's father did. He just left. For no reason. Jim's mother was all alone taking care of her son. She didn't like it. Her spirits lifted when the surfing scene came on. She really liked that scene. Jim seemed happy even though he didn't have a full family. It gave Abby some hope for herself, when she grew up.
There his tail went again, flopping around behind his back. Salt softy was kind of warm against his side and he shifted a little bit so that he wouldn't poke her with his elbow, and then stretched his neck so he could get his face into the popcorn. Wolf snout or no, he pulled out a mouthful quite neatly, and then leaned back a little bit to chomp it into delicious sweet-salty mush.
The movie was kind of weird. He remembered the concept of movies, of course, so the weird part was what was happening. Not the dad person leaving. It had taken him years to understand why so many other people on the street had living parents they couldn't be with, when his had been nice but were so undeniably dead, but he had eventually come to understand. People could be asses, basically.
What he didn't get was why the young guy person kept getting into trouble. It was one thing to have people assume you were doing bad things, but he was actually doing bad things. Repeatedly. Didn't he learn?

Abby would absently eat the popcorn/m&m mix throughout the movie. Sometime during the movie she ended up using her friend as a pillow. He was comfy. She giggled a lot at Morph. He was her favorite character. The spider/scorpion guy got what he deserved. Somehow, Abby ended up falling asleep cuddling her friend. "S'ice ta cuddle," she murmured before falling asleep.
... It wasn't easy to understand the movie, which referenced a whooooole bunch of things he figured the makers expected everyone to know but most of which he had either forgotten or never learned. And the idea that completely different people who didn't know the range of things the other people knew could get along so well, and come to trust and rely on each other...
He didn't know what to make of that any more than he knew what to make of salt softy curling into him and mumbling. Nice to cuddle? Was that what she was doing? What was he supposed to do?
...
Great, now she was asleep. How was he supposed to figure out what was going on if she was asleep? And the movie had gone back to the menu screen, and kept playing the same tune over and over and over.
Adder waited a very long time for salt softy to wake up, and he even only moved to very very carefully pull the bowl closer to himself without moving salt softy. But then there was nothing left to eat.

Abby stirred from her sleep just before midnight. Blinking her sleepy eyes open, she realized where she was slowly. Her shoulders shook in silent laughter as she sat up from her curled position. "Sorry," she mumbled. "Should prob'ly go ta bed, huh?"
She closed the laptop in a daze before staggering to her feet. Then she made her way to her bed. She didn't even pull up the covers from the foot of her bed. She just fell on her bed and went back to sleep.
Time passed. There was nothing left to eat. Salt softy was still asleep. Maybe he should just go to sleep too. Then he wouldn't have to try to not move so he didn't wake her up.
Sleep would be so easy...
Some time later, he felt vague movement vaguely, but couldn't bring himself to open his eyes for a while. Then the snuggly warmth against his side stopped being snuggly against his side, and he hauled his head off the floor. It took a few blinks to clear his eyes enough to see in the dark room, but he adjusted quickly. His face was so sleepy. Where was salt softy?
Oh, she was just up on the bed. She had been warm. The sleepy wolf pushed himself upright, wobbling a little bit as he stretched and yawned, and then plodded over to the bed. He hopped up and plopped down where he landed, stretching out over salt softy's toes. He was asleep again almost immediately, having never really woken up very far to begin with.
