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.

Dan
Dan chuckled when she asked him how his parents reacted, "Nah, they were suppor'ive. Well, suppor'ive but realistic." He said. One side of his mouth rising in a smirk. "I've always been interested in this stuff since I was little so it didn't come as a big surprise when I start'id sayin' I wannid to be an illusionist as I grew up. They said if that's what I really wannid then I should go for it, but they also told me to take a course in somethin' more practical at collage so I'd 'ave some kind of back up career." And it was the time he took choosing that 'practical' course that had left his parents sweating a bit.
He could still remember the thrown off looks on their faces the morning he told them he was going to take a course in carpentry. Not that they didn't think that carpentry was a good a back up as any, it was just far from the first thing they thought Dan would pick...Though technical he didn't pick it, he just closed his eyes and pointed at the list of available courses. Not that his patents knew that.
Dan shrugged when she said she'd not heard of him. It was like anything, if you wasn't into pop music you wouldn't have heard of the latest rising boy band, and if you wasn't into magic tricks you wouldn't have heard of Daniel Tyler.
He looked at her when she said she lived near by and was scouting the area, "Good for you." He said, "I love to walk around and to check the little restaurants and side streets an' all of that. There's so much to see in New York, I've lived 'ere a good few years now and I still 'aven't seen all of it." So many people travel miles and cross boarders to go sight seeing, but they hardly ever take the time to see the things on their own door step. It was a shame really, there was so many unique experiences and adventures they missed out on.
He smirked when she asked if he escaped from handcuffs and the like, "I escape from a little more than just ancuffs, luv." He replied. Try a chained and padlocked steel box inside of a large tank of water that was locked with a padlock of it's own. "And it's not judgy at all." He assured her. He had chosen the stage name 'The Escapist' because he was an escapist and in his book people had to be a little slow on the uptake if they didn't pick up on that even a little bit.
"No, no I do more that just street acts. I performer at all kinds of venues." He answered when she asked if he only did street acts and he grinned broadly when she told him she's love to see one of his shows, "Yeah?" It was always nice to hear when someone wanted to see his acts. "I don't 'ave anyfing lined up right this minute, but I perform at different thea'ers and places, wherever I can get a decent gig. Maybe you could keep an eye out for one of my shows."
He just looked at her with an appreciative smile when she told him that everyone would soon know who he was. She seemed like a lovely girl, kind of reminded him of his younger cousin.
Dan was more of a soup than a coffee man but the place sounded nice, "I'm 'eading that way too." He replied, motioning his head towards that general direction, "Care to walk together?" He asked casually.
She nodded as he talked, giving an occassional mhmm. That was good - his parents were supportive either way. It was always great to have supportive family - that was something Celeste lacked. She had a family forming here in NY, though. While not her blood parent, she couldn't complain - they were some very good people. She chuckled, "A back up career is a good option. Just in case. But turns out you don't even need a backup!"
She nodded, "It's amazing what little places pop up around here. It wasn't like that back in Regina." She gave a smile as she looked around, "I don't really have a lot of free time to even do this." Between working, volunteering, and school, she was one busy gal. She gave him a grin, "Well, it is a pretty big city, so I imagine it'll take several years to hit all the spots."
She perked a brow and laughed, "Well, I definitely need to see one of your shows, then!" It made sense that he could do more, after all. He was already very talented so it made sense that he did bigger and better shows. On second note, she wasn't even sure why she asked that. Of course he did bigger shows.
She nodded, "I'll definitely keep a look out!" Maybe he had a MyFace fan page? That would be an easy way to keep track of any shows. He might could do a show for kids at the Xavier's - they would probably love that, actually. She thought about mentioning it, but unsure of how he would react to her confession of being a mutant, plus performing for kids... Maybe a little below him.
She nodded, "I'd love too! They have other stuff too, but I'm just going based off the reviews." She shrugged and started walking once he was ready.

Dan
Dan smiled at the compliment when she said he didn't need his back up career, "Thanks." He replied enthusiastically. "Actually, it's come in very 'andy in my career." He happily admitted. "That practical course I took in collage was carpentry. So now I can make my own props and stuff for my acts. Saves me a fortune." He told her with a pleased grin. Sometimes life just worked.
"Oh, there are some right gems around. Amazing out-the-way places that most people 'aven't 'eard of." He told her. "And a few that can only be found in good ol' New York. Not places like Regina or even London." He mused.
"You need to learn to make time, darlin'." He replied with a wink when she said she didn't have much time to do stuff like this. "Schoolin' and all that's impor'ant, but so is life." He squeezed his fist tightly as if trying to drain juice out of an imaginary lemon, "You only get one life in this world and you need to squeeze every drop you can out of it." He said with passion. "Say yes a little and try new things and watch, you'll have some of the best times of your life. Even if they are just the little moments."
He smiled again when she said she'd keep an eye out for one of his shows. It always felt nice when someone liked his work or said they was a fan, "Great. Yeah, sure. It would be great to 'ave you come to a show." Only he had no idea when his next official show would be. He was between shows right now and his manager was taking care of it all. "I'm between gigs right now, but if you check me out on social media it will say where I'll be next an' all of that." His official FaceBook page was regularly updated with a list of upcoming performances and times and locations of planned street performances. As well as clips, photos and videos of tricks and past performances, amongst other thing designed to promote him and propel his image (not to mention contact info to inquire about booking a performance).
"Do the reviews say anything about soup?" He asked as they began to walk, like it was a totally normal question to ask. He sometimes forgot that most people didn't love soup as strongly as he did. But hey, it added to his lovable quirkiness.
After they had walked a few meters Dan looked at Celeste and couldn't help but say what he was thinking, "Of course, you do realize you are currently going to get a coffee with a random street illusionist, from a place you've never been to before because it has been recommended by a bunch of strangers on the Internet?" A little smirk made its way on face. He guessed it wasn't the type of thing Celeste would normally do, of course he didn't know that for sure, but she struck him as the more serious and sensible type.
"See?" He asked, before walking backwards so he could face her as he squeezing the imaginary lemon in his fist again. Reiterate his earlier point. "You never know where life will take you if you let it." He said with a bright expression.
Only now he was a couple of steps in front of her as they walked and talked, and she was the one who knew where they were going. Ah, he could follow her from in front, it would be fine.
She nodded. Ah, carpentry. That definitely had to help him in his chosen path of illusions. He had to build his stage props himself, which was probably a whole career by itself, actually. Carpenter and illusionist. Who would have guessed?
"Yeah, there really is some great places here." She had been to a few of them but she honestly couldn't say she had really explored or done much else since she had been in New York - she had a fairly busy, packed schedule full of classes, volunteering, working, everything else.
She nodded, her face turned more serious. He was right, after all - she really needed to check out and see more of the city. It is the little things that ultimately count. In either case, he was on social media. She made a note to check out his page once she was on her phone again.
She perked a brow and shook her head, "No one really said anything about soup but I checked their menu and they have a few options, so if you're craving soup, they probably will have something there. No idea if it'll be good or not, though."
She laughed, "Well, you said to say yes and live a little, so here I am - saying yes and living a little." He was a pretty funny guy, too.
After a block or so, they found themselves at the cafe. They had a nice little chalk board outside with their specials - which, lucky him, included a few different soups. She paused, debating on what she might get. Probably just a regular cup o' Joe, but maybe a bagel or something too. Hmm.

Dan
"Oh great." Dan replied with a small grin when she confirmed the place did have some kind of soup. His dreams of being a famous illusionist aside Dan was easily pleased with the little things in life. "Isn't it fantastic!" He said with a bigger grin when she retorted with her saying yes and living comment. With that he turned to face forwards again and by Celeste's side.
Once they reached the place Dan pushed open the door and held it for Celeste. Following in behind her he looked he looked at the menu as they approached the counter. There was three choices of soup today but sadly none of them was pea. Dan rubbed a finger on his chin as he thought over his choices, "Hmm. Think I'll go with the tomato soup and crackers." He looked at his new friend as they stood in the queue "Wot you 'avin'?" He asked. He had gotten a few notes in his hat today so this one was on him, even if she didn't realize that yet.
The next decision was if they wanted to order it to sit in or to take away, "You wanna grab a table? Or do you wanna walk around some more and see what gems we might find?" He asked. It was up to her and he was enjoying her company either way.
His enthuasiam was impressive. Celeste wasn't sure if she could get that kind of enthusiam. Granted, she was a pretty optomistic person. She didn't have that much faith in people, at least. On that same note, she also had great hope for humanity. She was a bit contradictory but oh well. Life was contradicting.
She smiled and thanked him as he opened the door for her. She perked a brow, unsure of exactly what she wanted either. He seemed to go for tomato soup. Good choice, it sounded pretty good. She thought for a few more seconds, "I think I'm going to go with the double chocolately chip frappe. It never fails me, no matter where I go." She had gotten her desire for it while working at Starbucks a few years back.
She shrugged and gave him a smile. She wanted to go explore more but was unsure about how he would eat his soup, "Can you walk and drink soup?" Maybe it was a dumb question but she always had to sit down with a spoon and slowly drink away at it. He was an illusionist, so maybe he could do things she couldn't do. "I mean, if you can, I'm totally down for some more exploring." She gave him a smile, "But we can stay until you finish drinking your soup if you need too."

"I've never had one of them, but it sounds nice." He had never heard of a double chocolately chip frappe before, there was so many fancy coffees out there he wasn't even sure what one a frappe was. "Sounds fancy-pantsy." He might have to add one of those onto his list of 'things to try one day'...Really, there was an actual list.
"Yeah. I do it all the time. Ask for it to take away and they'll put it in a to go cup and you're golden." He assured her confidently when she asked if he could walk and drink soup. It wasn't that much different from drinking coffee on the go really, at the end of the day it was sipping hot liquid from a cup.
"No, no. I don't need to stay to eat. I'm totally down for explorin'." He replied to her offer to stay until he had finished eating...or drinking, whatever one you did with soup. "Like I said a to go cup with a lid on it and I'm golden." As long as it wasn't alphabet soup or the kind of soup that had chunks in it then it was easy for him to sip it out of the cup without the need for a spoon. Right now he was in good spirits after a successful street performance and he was itching to go exploring in the pleasure of Celeste's company.
Once Dan paid and they had collected their order he headed to the door and looked at Celeste as he reached out his hand and pushed it open, "So where do ya wanna go?" He held his cup in one hand and the door open for her with the other, "Any particular direction you wanna go, or any particular area you've been wantin to explore? Or do you just want to go on a random walkabout?" He asked. "Or follow the wind maybe?" He offered in a lighthearted tone. Though he wasn't joking, he did go on random walkabouts around the city and had some nice memories of doing so...he had also literally followed the wind one or twice, though maybe Celeste would think he was actually mad if he told her that.
She grinned, "I was a barista back in Regina at Starbucks. I kinda got addicted because of that. Plus, I'm not a big fan of coffee in general. I mean, I like it but I don't? It just depends on my mood, I guess." She chuckled.
She nodded, a bit surprised. She didn't drink/eat soup a lot, so that was pretty cool. Nifty feature. "Nice, well, we should totally just go exploring, then!" That was her ultimate goal, after all - she wanted to see the area, the neighborhood. She hadn't explored a lot and she wanted to change that. Plus, it was awesome to do it with a awesome British guy who's a street illusionist. What an amazing day it was turning out to be.
Once they had it and he paid despite her wishes, they were back outside in the big ole' city of New York. She took a sip of her drink and looked around. She shrugged, not really sure where to go, "Hm, no idea. Have you ever been around here before? I've never actually scouted this area out. I've half a mind to close my eyes, spin, and see which direction I'm pointing." She giggled, half joking, half serious.

"Fair enough." Dan shrugged when she said about liking and not liking coffee. He could relate to that one, coffee was useful but it wasn't always tasty. It all depended on what time of day it was and how much sugar had been pumped into it!
He smiled approvingly when she agreed they should just go exploring. Dan had a very spontaneous side to him and right now he was in the mode to just 'go and see what happens'.
One corner of Dan's mouth curled up in little smirk, "That..." He started. "Sounds like a very excellent idea." He finished, taking her coffee from her so that she would be free to spin around without spilling it. "You lead, I'll follow." He grinned.
Celeste nodded. She was glad he understood her complicated feelings on coffee. Plus, it wasn’t like she needed it for energy, anyways. She was tired all the time and still had a pretty hard time sleeping.
She perked a brow and her eyes widened a little. He thought that was a great idea? She wasn’t sure if it was a great idea. It was too late to back out now, though, he had already taken her coffee. It was time to twirl and see where she landed.
With a grin towards Dan, she covered her eyes with her right hand and began twirling herself until she got a little dizzy. Once slightly dizzy, she stopped and nodded, “This way!” It looked like this would actually take them further towards the downtown area of New York City – where the big, big skyscrapers were.
(No worries!!! Take your time. It’s been a busy couple months.)

Dan
Dan grinned as he watched the girl twirl. It was nice seeing other people being spontaneous and adventurous, something about it just made him happy inside. After all what was life without adventure and spontaneity? Oh how unbearable it would be if EVERYTHING was planned all of the time!
He nodded with a smile when she stopped and chose a direction, "Down town, 'ere we come." He said. Handing her coffee back to her and immediately heading in that direction.
"Just stick close, it could be easy to get lost down town in a big city like this." Not to mention New York could be a dangerous place too and Dan wanted to keep an eye on Celeste and make sure she was alright. Seeing as she was a young woman and that he was the one getting her into this walkabout in the first place.
"I've 'eard some of the buildin's are so tall that if you go all the way to the top, you can actually see the stars at night." He commented casually as they began approaching some of the taller skyscrapers. How true that was he didn't know, but he loved the idea that it could be.
(Ooc: Sorry it's taken so long. I was sooo busy with work at Christmas, then I was ill, then it took me a little time to get back into the swing of writting.)
She took her coffee and nodded, "Downtown we go!" She chuckled. It probably wasn't the smartest idea to go off into the city with a near stranger, but she wasn't going to be alone with him at least. She didn't get any bad vibes from him, though.
She nodded, "Will do, yeah, this place is a bit of a... cultural shock, at first." She chuckled as they walked. "There is basically nothing this tall in Regina, my home town. When I first got here, it was just so overwhelming." She shook her head. Life had changed so much since she had been here. It was crazy.
She giggled, "I'll believe it when I see it, honestly." She hadn't seen stars ever since she'd been in the city. She doubted she'd see it just because she's up higher.
(no worries, I've been really behind cause of work.)

Dan
Dan shrugged when Celest said she'd believe it when she saw it, "I don't know how true it is, it's just wot I've 'eard." He said with a light grin.
"I'll 'ave to find out one day." He mused casually, mentally adding it to his to do list.
He enjoyed the walk with Celest as they headed Downtown, finishing off his soup as they went. It didn't seem to take long before they found themselves in the center, surrounded by the really tall skyscrapers.
Dan threw his empty cup in a trashcan, not missing as step as he looked up admiring the architecture and impressive height of the buildings with slack-jawed awe while they walked along. Then Dan slowed to a stop as he looked up at one very tall building, tipping his head slightly as he went silent in his own thoughts. An idea of a grand illusion was forming in his mind. Oh if he could work out the finer details and pull it off it could propel his career into a whole other level of success.
Dan realized he had just stopped without saying anything. He checked to make sure Celest hadn't gone too far then looked at her, "Sorry. I was just thinking about jumping off one of these buildings." He said casually as he started walking again, like it was a totally normal thing to say.
When they reached the next street Dan saw the tallest skyscraper this side of the city. He looked up at the very, very top of it, "I don't know about stars, but I bet you can see the entire city from up there." He said, looking at Celest with a little smirk forming. He was getting another idea.
Surly it wouldn't be too difficult for them to go to the top of the private building and check out the view...
They were having a nice, good walk. It was a fun walk. It was most certainly a very de-stressing walk. Next thing she knew, they were in the center. Skyscrapers abounded in all directions as the eye could see. Granted, an eye couldn't see very far in this area - it immediately ran into a building. She wondered if this is kind what Corsucant in Star Wars looks like.
In either case, it took a moment before she realized that Dan had stopped and was admiring a particularly tall building. She perked a brow and waited for a second before he explained that he just wondered what it would be like to... Jump off the building? She perked a brow. "Um... You okay, though? I mean, you're not about to actually... Jump off a building or anything yeah?"
She walked with him until he mentioned about seeing the entire city. She perked a brow, her intuition telling her he was devising a plan. Oh boy... "Do... You think we can get up there?"

Dan
Dan smiled and chuckled when she asked him if he was okay and that he wasn't going to actually jump, and then he realized how that must have sounded. Especally to someone who didn't know him.
"Haha oh don't worry, luv." He said putting a hand on her shoulder assuringly. "I was thinking for an act, you know?" He explained casually. "I'm a rather happy soul, I'm not inclined to you know..." He lifted his hand and then arched it quickly towards the ground as he let out a whistle.
No Dan was full of life and adventure and he had not intentions of doing anything to shorten his precious time on this earth by even so much as a day. Even if some of his escape acts might suggest otherwise.
"Do... You think we can get up there?"
He turned his head to look at her and grinned widely. Oh he had a few tricks up his sleeve, "There's one way to find out." He replied.
"Come on!" He said grabbing her wrist and pulling her towards the building adventurously.
He led her through the frond door and stopped running as soon as their feet stepped inside, "Follow my lead." He muttered.
Dan didn't even know what the building was used for but he put his sunglasses on and stood up straight like he owned the place, or at least like he belonged there. He looked like a British rock star so he simply began strutting confidently across the floor like he was one. The building was a place of business so if he just avoided eye contact with the front desk and acted as if he was heading up for an appointment with a record label, it might get them past the lobby.
