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.

Lee’s fingers were moving up along his collarbone now and Tarin couldn’t help but shudder a bit, his own hand moving from Lee’s arm down her side and hip.
She kissed him again, pretty much where his pulse was still thudding steadily in his throat and he squirmed just a little bit, leaning his head against hers when she settled back against him.
Lee’s shoulders were fine, and that was good, the bruising was still there though, and even more starkly evident than when it could be seen through clothing. It was probably why she’d worn what she’d worn tonight.
As for his question, Lee actually thought about it for a minute, and while he wanted to pick her brain on her thoughts when she whispered that things felt pretty amazing he couldn’t help but chuckle. Things definitely had felt amazing.
Dropping a quick kiss on the top of Lee’s head, Tarin continued to let his fingertips travel up and down her side, back, and shoulders.
”I really liked your song earlier.” he said, ”All I could think while you were up there was that everyone kept telling me it had been so long since they’d seen you and it was so sad you weren’t singing for people.” .
Tarin had been sincere a few days ago when he’d told Lee he didn’t know anything about music, ”How long have you played guitar?” he asked, using his free hand to grab Lee’s hand that had been trailing over his chest and collar bone and kiss it before examining her hand and fingers.

Feeling Tarin’s hand moving along her side, Lee shivered. Her skin felt almost hypersensitive in places now, and the sensation of Tarin’s hand moving along her skin almost felt like the touch was moving through her body, extending further than his hand was actually reaching.
And that was before she even added the feeling that was caused by the energy slowly (or at least as slowly as she could manage without actually shutting her siphoning off) flowing into her body from every. Single. Point. Of. Contact.
Lee shuddered again as Tarin started speaking. “Thank you,” she whispered when he mentioned the song she had sung earlier that night. Then he commented that people had talked to him about her, and Lee tried to look up at him, but without moving her head off his shoulder, it didn’t work so well. “People were actually saying that?” she asked softly, a little confused. “I mean, other than Rachel or Matt?” Not that she had never sung in public, had never sung at the bar, but it had been so infrequent that she was surprised by the idea of anyone mentioning it.
Then he was asking about the guitar, and Lee couldn’t help the smile when she saw and felt Tarin kiss her hand after asking the question. “Almost 20 years,” Lee replied, her voice thoughtful. “Off and on. I’ve never been too serious about guitar.”

Tarin had to think for a second, hand pausing its slow and leisurely travels as he did so, ”Okay, maybe it was just Rachel,” he said, laughing a bit self consciously, ”But she was right and you’re lucky I can pull together anything resembling a semi-coherent thought right now.”
She was lucky in that respect, Tarin wasn’t exactly inexperienced, but it had never been like that. Tarin hadn’t been able to get close enough, fast enough, and the utter and just raw need had been almost overwhelming. No, not almost, it had been utterly overwhelming. He shuddered, kissing Lee’s hand again as she spoke before releasing it.
Tarin hadn’t ever really had any hobbies like that, nothing creative that he could share anyway. Movies, sports, working out. All things he was adjacent to, but not really a part of.
”It’s really cool.” he said simply, hand trailing back up Lee’s arm, up her neck and into her hair. Tarin had wanted to play with her hair off and on for days now and did so for a moment before pulling back slightly to look before snuggling back down, ”I like your hair like that.” he said, not specifying whether he meant the way she’d worn it at the bar or messy, tousled, and tickling his shoulder just a little bit. Lee could take it as she would, because truth be told, he meant it both ways.

It was just Rachel. Lee nodded where her head was resting on Tarin's shoulder. Then laughed softly as he continued. “Is that so?” She asked, her voice barely above a whisper as she moved her head to kiss along his neck up to his ear, smiling against his skin as she went. “Is this better?”
If Lee had to guess, his answer would be no. If he answered right away at all. But with how Tarin tried to control himself all the time, Lee was enjoying how just a little thing seemed to change that.
Well, what had happened not long before wasn’t little. It had been intense. Mindblowing.
But brains were working better now, right? They had to be. Right?
They had to be, and Lee's smile widened as she placed a final kiss on Tarin’s earlobe before letting her head rest on his shoulder again. As she felt Tarin’s hand moving into her hair, and her whole body shuddered slightly.
Most of the pins that had held her hair up that night had…disappeared somewhere, sometime between when they had entered her bedroom and presently. They’d turn up. Eventually.
When Tarin spoke, Lee smiled, nuzzling in against his shoulder more as her now freed hand started its slow movement again, from where it had come to rest on his chest, across his shoulder and down his arm. “Oh yeah?” she asked, and the smile had to have been audible in her voice. “I like you like this,” she whispered in return.
Then Lee let her hand move back up, onto his chest again where it momentarily stopped its movement. “How tired are you?”

From an “able to think rationally and be able to speak coherently” standpoint, no that was definitely not better Tarin decided. He also noted that Lee had him at a distinct disadvantage in their current arrangement considering the fact that she was laying on his arm and had far more access than he did to disruptive actions.
”Yep, that definitely helps…” he said, ”Better not stop or who knows how dumb I’ll get.” he said, voice low and a little rough as his eyes slipped shut.
Why not turn an disadvantage into an advantage? After all?
Lee’s trailing fingers weren’t doing much for his cognitive state either, Tarin decided and when she whispered that she liked him like this some of that utterly desperate need began to claw its way through him again so that when she asked how tired he was he hmmm’d thoughtfully as his hand tangled gently in Lee’s hair to pull her head back so they were nose to nose.
”Definitely not so tired that if you keep all this up I won’t end up way more tired.” he practically growled before dipping his head down to capture Lee’s lips in a kiss far more slow and thorough then the ones they’d previously shared.

Lee couldn’t help but giggle when she heard Tarin tell her that she better not stop what she was doing. So she didn’t. She continued the slow trailing of her fingers along his skin and softly kissed his collar bone, then his neck a couple times.
But when she asked how tired he was, trying to gauge how long it would be before she’d end up having to get up out of bed since she was definitely out of practice sleeping with someone so close. Especially after going to the bar and then…the activities that had followed. Lee had certainly not expected the reaction she got.
Feeling Tarin’s hand close in her hair as he pulled her head back a bit, Lee gasped. Then her breath caught as she found herself looking straight into his eyes, oh so close. And as he spoke, Lee grinned. She definitely liked the sound of that. And was more than happy to go without sleep that night.
And then the kiss. That kiss…Between it, the look in Tarin’s eyes, his tone, his hand in her hair…She couldn’t help it, she moaned softly into the kiss as she melted against him.

Lee melted against him and Tarin might have felt the slightest bit smug at the way she moaned into that kiss. So Tarin just kept kissing Lee, relaxing into the taste of her and the feel of her against him as he continued.
Sometime later, it could have been seconds or minutes, Tarin pulled away, planting a much more chaste kiss on Lee’s forehead. His breathing was heavy again and his heart was hammering away in his chest, but he just held her for a few moments, hand leaving Lee’s hair and running slowly up and down her back as he tucked her head back under his chin.
”Do you have any idea what you do to me?” he asked, talking over Lee’s head as he couldn’t trust himself to look at her right now.
It was tempting, so very tempting, to continue what they’d just started…again, but they’d lose the whole night like that and there were things they needed to figure out.
”What is this with us, Lee?” he asked carefully, hand stopping in the middle of her back. He’d already decided when he asked that he’d be fine with whatever Lee had to say, but he couldn’t help the little worm of anxiety crawling through his chest as he waited.

As the kiss continued, Lee’s hand slid along Tarin’s upper chest, over his shoulder, coming to rest at the back of his neck, her fingers slipping into his hair.
And this kiss…It wasn’t nearly as passionate or hungry as most of the others that they had shared that night, but god what a kiss. She was actually a little disappointed when Tarin pulled away. But at least he wasn’t trying to move away, and she shivered as she felt his fingers up and down her back.
”Do you have any idea what you do to me?”
Lee smiled hearing Tarin’s question, her hand still on the back of his neck. ”I think I’ve got an idea,” she whispered. ”You haven’t exactly been hiding it tonight…”
At that point, they laid there in silence for a little while, Lee’s head resting on Tarin’s shoulder while his arms were wrapped around her. Which was also nice, in a very different way than everything else that night had been.
Then Tarin spoke again. The question was very different than the previous one, but if possible, more important at the moment. Lee took a deep breath, letting it out slowly, Lee thought as she let her fingers play with Tarin’s hair just above his neck.
”That,” Lee said, her words almost as slow as the breath had been. ”Could be hard to label. Not just for us, but for what we tell others…”

Lee said she had an idea of what she did to him, but Tarin wasn’t entirely sure she really understood or actually comprehended what was happening to him. What had been happening for a week. He had been a mess at first, the things he’d said and done made him want to crawl in a hole somewhere and not emerge. But Lee had taken every emotional outburst, every panic attack in stride with absolutely no expectation from him to hold it together. He was better now, holding it together unless he had a nightmare, but she’d seen all of that and they’d still ended up here.
Tarin hadn’t expected a simple answer for his second question. There really couldn’t be one for him and Lee, with who he was, who he wasn’t and who she was.
Part of him, he realised as Lee spoke, had hoped he would be surprised. Still, he tightened his arms around her briefly when she was done speaking.

Tarin had tightened his arms around her when she finished speaking. But he didn't keep his arms as tight around her, which was good, because when he spoke again, Lee raised herself up slightly so she could actually look at him.
”And what about what you need?” she asked, an eyebrow raised though her voice was soft. ”I’m not the only one here, not the only one with feelings, with needs, with wishes.”
Leaning in, Lee gave Tarin a soft kiss before pulling back just enough to be able to focus on his eyes. ”If we’re actually doing this, we’re doing this together. It’s not just what I need.”

”Things are much simpler for me.” Tarin said, the slightest bit uncomfortable with the conversation turned back on him.
Lee shifted around to look at him, then she kissed him and it got even more difficult as he willed himself not to avoid her eyes and at least partially succeeded. It was true, nobody had expectations of him, he didn’t have anyone that depended on him. In the grand scheme of things he just didn’t matter here like Lee did. This was much easier to do when he was looking at a wall and not into her eyes.
But if they were going to do this, however difficult it was to label, they were going to do it together according to Lee. Of course they were, but he wasn’t going to make things more difficult for her in the process.
Tarin just nodded, ”Together.” he said, eyes coming back to meet Lee’s, ”But you didn’t answer my question.”

As she was trying to get Tarin to tell her what he wanted or needed from this as well, it seemed he was having trouble looking right at her. And, he appeared to be thinking quite a bit, all he said when he did speak was to agree they’d be doing all of this together.
And pointed out that she hadn’t answered his question. Fair, she hadn’t actually. Giving Tarin one more quick kiss, Lee set her head back down on his shoulder, using the time to get comfortable to figure out how to verbalize what she was going to need from Tarin.
”I’m going to need some time,” she finally said. ”Rachel was obviously hoping for something like this, but I need to be able to explain things to Kevin properly.”
Lee closed her eyes as she laid there, thinking. She had no clue how she could explain the changing relationship that she and Tarin had found themselves jumping into that night to her son in a way that would make it not be weird for him. Or at least not more weird than the living arrangements made things on their own.
Her mind was already trying to figure out how and what she was going to say, and her bottom lip had found its way between her teeth. ”And if you have any ideas of how to explain, I would love to hear them.”

Lee turned back around and snuggled back in and Tarin simply just waited and listened, Lee seemed to have accepted what he’d said and was now trying to figure out how to tell him what he wanted to know.
And what Lee said made absolute sense. Being involved with Lee didn’t just involve Lee, it also involved Kevin and Lee was bound to want to control the narrative as far as her son was concerned.
And she wanted his thoughts on how to achieve that?
Tarin couldn’t help but laugh a little at the prospect.
”You could not have found a person who knows less about children, teenagers, or how to handle difficult conversations with them.” he said candidly. Tarin had never really interacted with kids in any capacity outside of incidental contact or his own experiences growing up which had been less than normal.
”So, we keep things chill and relaxed.” he said with a slight shrug, ”No need to make things weird. None of this is anyone’s business but ours anyway”

Lee laughed slightly at Tarin’s comment about talking with kids. “I don’t know. I’m sure I could have given you a run for your money at one point,” Lee told him. And while at one time, she wouldn’t have even been able to talk about this with laughter still in her voice, due to events, and a child, and time she could now.
”Considering I didn’t think it was possible to have kids, and I was still almost terrified through half of the pregnancy, I didn’t even start trying to talk to kids until after Kevin was born.”
Chill and relaxed. That would be good, Lee thought as she nodded her head where it was resting against Tarin’s shoulder. They just had to manage to keep their hands, and lips, off of each other outside of the bedroom. Somehow. At least until Kevin was reasonably alright with this whole situation.
”And I agree, other than how it affects Kevin, it’s no one’s business. But you have met my siblings.”

Again Tarin found himself marvelling about Lee and the sheer amount of things she had accomplished in her life and the sheer amount of will and strength it would have taken to do so.
It obviously hadn’t been something he had thought about, but with Lee’s power it made sense that carrying a child would have been a terrifying experience, and yet she had done it.
Lee was a study in making life what you wanted it to be, Tarin decided.
Lee also didn’t think what he’d said was stupid, or at least she didn’t comment on it if she had.
As for Lee’s siblings, ”I have…” he said, ”And honestly that’s up to you too…” he said, giving Lee another little squeeze. ”If you want…they do not need to know that anything has changed.” he said, dropping a light kiss on top of Lee’s head. ”No matter what Rachel gets out of Matt, nothing actually happened as far as he knows.”
Robert…was going to be a harder sell, Tarin figured. They’d deal with that when and if necessary.
Tarin frowned a bit at his next thought, but he needed to get it out there, ”If this needs to never happen again…” he said, ” I’ll back off and we can never talk about it again.”
