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.

Tarin shrugged when Lee spoke, ”You’re welcome.” he said simply. It wasn’t like he was doing anything special. Surely anyone in his position would have done the same.
As for the order of events, ”Ice is always first…” he said, letting go of Lee’s hands and heading to the kitchen to grab the frozen corn from the freezer.
Returning to the living room and dropping back down onto the couch, Tarin held the bag out for Lee to take with a grin, ”Then heat.” he added.

Ice was first. Of course that had to be first, couldn’t have been a shower. But Lee still sat and watched Tarin get up and head to the kitchen, returning a moment later with a frozen bag of vegetables.
Taking the ice pack when Tarin held it out to her, Lee placed it on her arm as she looked up at him. ”It might be a good idea to check, at some point, and see if there’s any other places that need ice wouldn’t it?”

As Lee took the bag of vegetables and dutifully put it on her arm, she pointed out that it would probably be a good idea to check and see if she had any other injuries.
To that Tarin nodded with mock seriousness.
”Wouldn’t want to miss anything.”
He thought for a moment, ”I know you took that kick, and you got the breath knocked out of you when you rolled the spirit that first time… You really didn’t take a lot of hits besides that in the first round though.”
The second round was a bit more difficult.
”You definitely had a rougher time the second go around but I don’t think you took many hits.”
He couldn’t help but smile slightly, ”Can’t be too careful though…”

”Wouldn’t want to miss anything.”
Lee smiled slightly as she looked up at him, seeing him trying to maintain a seriousness she was sure that neither of them felt. ”Oh, definitely don’t want to,” she agreed.
As Tarin continued speaking, Lee realized something; talking about sparring with Tony felt far more comfortable to her now than talking about her sparring with a spirit. Lee obviously knew and understood that Tony was a spirit, she had seen him seemingly pop in and out of existence in front of her, but referring to him as a spirit such as when Tarin described her rolling him, made everything feel so much more strange and uncomfortable.
”Yeah, I was definitely running low on energy for a lot of the second round,” Lee admitted. ”And it was challenging to start with when I had more energy. But, I’m not sure I remember everywhere he managed to hit me, and I can’t see everywhere…”

” But, I’m not sure I remember everywhere he managed to hit me, and I can’t see everywhere…”
”Well, I guess we found a reason for you to keep me around outside of having someone to blame when things go wrong…” Tarin said with a slight smile.
Up he stood, slowly circling around so that he was behind the back of the couch. Lee had been facing him, so it was a simple matter to lean down by her ear, ”Let’s see…” he said softly, his hand running slowly up the back of her arm, ”Everything looks good here…”
His other hand mimed the first, ”What kind of fake medical professional would I be if I didn’t make sure you were properly iced down after a fight…” he said as his fingertips reached the bag of frozen vegetables, snatched it and quickly stuffed it down the back of Lee’s shirt before taking off down the hallway towards the bathroom, laughing the whole way.
If he survived this, Tarin wondered what kind of retribution he would face, and when it would happen.

Lee gave Tarin an appraising look before giving a single nod. ”I guess we have, haven’t we?” she asked before one side of her mouth curled up.
Then Tarin was standing again, and Lee looked up at him in slight confusion as he slowly walked around behind the couch. Once he got behind her, Tarin bent down to speak in her ear, and as she felt his hand slowly running up her arm, Lee could not stop the shiver that ran through her body.
And it was the same when Lee felt Tarin’s hand running up the back of her other arm. Another shiver.
What happened next was so unexpected that the only thing Lee could do at first was yelp in surprise as she suddenly found the very cold bag of vegetables down the back of her shirt. As she heard Tarin laughing and felt his energy retreating quickly toward his bedroom.
Squirming as she stood to get the ice pack out of her shirt, Lee dropped it on the couch and took off after Tarin down the hallway. ”Oh, you’re in trouble now, mister!” she called out. And while she did sound a little upset, there was also a bit of a playful tone in her voice.
