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.

F650. "The numbers go up that high?" She'd seen a tool in a 350 before. "Tactical assault...? You've got some strange hobbies, Mr. Hunter."
She should ask him to see it. They were going to the garage, right? Or maybe it wasn't in the garage. The day was over. It was time to get over this denial because a new day was starting.
A new day. A fresh start to try to keep building on what she had. That wasn't so bad, even with just a good neighbor.
They cleaned up after themselves like good little boys and girls and then it was back to the car for one last drive. She could reach over. She could just let him know. In fact, she started to, but chickened out. She just suddenly couldn't stop a yawn from forming and she last second diverted her hand to cover her mouth.
It was good that they were going back. She couldn't stand the buildup of tension that was only one sided. She had to go back and get her head on straight.
The drive was too short. The walk back from the garage made Noel realize just how much dancing they'd really done. Noel was entirely ready to crash by the time they made it upstairs to their floor.
"Thanks. For margaritas and tacos and dancing and... just." Why were her fingers in her hair again!? Noel looked back from entering her apartment code. "Thanks."
A short drive back, even with the Ranger driving like a normal person. He didn't drive slow, but he didn't go fast. Driving slow would only drag this part of the night out longer. He needed to say something to her, let her know how he was feeling, but not here. Not in the car.
Park in the garage, walk to the main building, up the elevator. Even with a cup of coffee in his system he was still tired. He had woken almost twenty-three hours before. Not to mention work and dancing in that time.
The Ranger walked Noel to her door. His heart was pounding as she thanked him. She had looked back to say the final thanks. Now or never.
He reached out and set his hand on her arm to get her to stay, "Noel, I..." Words were lost to him. He was going for broke. His heart still pounding away like a sledge hammer he leaned in to kiss Noel.

Elation, panic, and more than a few words tried to escape her mouth all at once.
First thing was first. She had to shut that kiss down.
Noel's hand slipped up between their faces, the backs of her fingers pressed against her lips just in time to catch his. She couldn't apologize enough with just her eyes. Her eyes were tired. She'd had a headache nearly all evening. She could just let them off their leash and then no one had to explain anything...
But that was the coward's way.
Noel rolled her lips together and removed her hand.
Sh*t. She had it bad.
"Keep your mouth shut."
She put her hands on either side of Michael's face and raised up to her toes in order to touch their noses together. She leaned forward until she could feel a tickle of breath returned to her from against his lips.
Guh. She couldn't do it either.
Noel dropped to the flats of her feet and let her forehead fall against the lips that he'd offered her. "I take in memories by taste," she confessed, unable to make that admission to his face. "If I kiss you, it isn't ever just a kiss."

His lips found her hand. He had a terrible sinking feeling. He'd swung and missed. She then moved her hand away before saying.
"Keep your mouth shut."
The Ranger obliged as she framed his face with her hands and moved so close their noses touched before stopping. So close. The pounding in his chest returned. He could smell her breath. And then she pulled away.
Had she had second thoughts, but then second guessed those second thoughts. Fourth thoughts?
Her actions didn't completely line up with that either. Instead of moving away she brought her forehead to his lips. Only then did she explain. Not only does she taste lies, she takes in memories by taste.
It took the Ranger a long moment to process this. It wasn't a question of understanding, he had issues with those who could get into people's heads. He'd so far been able to manage with Noel. Being separated by only a hand from her having some of his memories, that was the issue. That made it more real.
He could deal with his own issues later. For now there was a pretty girl, he had been losing his mind over that night, who had just told him something that sounded like it took a lot for her to say. Instead of just continuing to stand there dazed and stupid, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead.
"No kissing then." He said, "I jus' couldn't find words." And he still couldn't.

Nobody likes psychics. They might be okay with her, but not what she could do.
In the moments where he said nothing and did nothing, those points were all she could come back to.
Noel had a bad power. She should go back to trying to figure out what to do professionally which he could help with except that she was jeopardizing his potential future help with frivolous, superfluous feelings that she shouldn't have let take root in the first place! Noel was so frustrated and embarrassed that she hardly knew where to go from here. She was on the fence between escaping into her apartment and staying to apologize.
He pulled her close and she felt the press of his gun between them and the press of his lips against her forehead. The kiss she shouldn't have wanted.
Dumb, terrible, traitorous feelings welled up and threatened to spill out her eyes. She didn't cry. She might never have managed talking if she had.
He had no words?
"Then shut up and dance." They'd danced to that one earlier, right? She'd meant it as a joke, but dancing was about as far as this could ever go. Noel moved to press the bridge of her nose against his neck. The temptation was great to just stay here like this for a little while longer, but it wouldn't do either of them any good. She made moves to extricate herself.

Noel quoted Aaron Watson. The Ranger couldn’t help but smile and chuckle softly. He’d been on an emotional ride moments before and that hit him just right.
She moved her head, bringing her nose to his neck. He turned his head slightly and lay it on hers. Sure he didn’t get to kiss Noel, but this moment was still a nice end to an amazing evening. He wished it could last, but Noel moved away. He let her slide out of his arms.
“Goodnight, Ranger.”
”G’Night, Noel.”
On the walk back to his apartment he knew that while boots may be like walking on Heaven, this was how it truly felt to walk on Heaven.
