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.

Sam finished his large amount of food as he listened to Arisa’s story. He two knew how hard it was to carry the burden of killing people. Sam grabbed a napkin from the center of the table and gave it to Arisa. Sam didn’t really say anything up until Marcus said something.
"I am sorry to hear about your parents, but locking yourself away like that was stupid. I'm sure alot of mutants have sob stories about the first time they used thier power.

Anyhow I have to get going. I do not wish to be late for my meeting with Neena.”
Sam was outraged clearly sensitivity wasn’t one of his personality traits. “Hey Marcus, I would appreciate it greatly if you would exercises you sensitivity as much as you excises your body.” Sam watched as Marcus left the room. He waited till he was fully out of the room and waited till Arisa was looking up, and then Sam stuck out his tongue at him. Then he looked to Arisa, “listen sorry to ask you about your situaton, didn’t know it would upset you so much. And I got to apologize for Marcus, he means well but like I said I don’t think he has a sensitive bone in his body.”
Sam smiled at Arisa as he got up to do his dishes, “So a miasma huh? That’s a pretty dangerous gift you got there, so are you poisonous to touch?” Sam finished this with a small wink as he turned and headed to the sink to do his dishes.

Arisa didn’t look up nor did she breathe. Her emotions now sat somewhere on the edge of completely destroyed and in complete agreement. Then, Sam spoke…
“Hey Marcus, I would appreciate it greatly if you would exercises you sensitivity as much as you excises your body.”
He had defended her. Someone who knew what she was capable of and had done had just defended her. Arisa’s head shot up and she looked at Sam, who was staring after Marcus. When he stuck his tongue out as him she smiled softly, her eyes still shimmering with tears.
“listen sorry to ask you about your situaton, didn’t know it would upset you so much. And I got to apologize for Marcus, he means well but like I said I don’t think he has a sensitive bone in his body.”
She shook her head and smiled, she wiped her remaining tears away with the napkin. “It’s alright Sam, I have nothing to hide anymore. And there is no need to apologize for Marcus, because truth be told…he’s right. I never should have been so afraid.”
Sam smiled at Arisa as he got up to do his dishes, “So a miasma huh? That’s a pretty dangerous gift you got there, so are you poisonous to touch?” Sam finished this with a small wink as he turned and headed to the sink to do his dishes.
Arisa laughed softly, a little embarrassed by the question. She felt her face flush as she blushed, “I can be touched, however…” She hesitated before she continued what she was about to say not wanting to sound to forward. “However, my saliva is toxic, sooo…kissing people is kind of out of the question. So much for a being able to date right?” She laughed nervously then quickly shoved a bite of food into her mouth to avoid sounding even more ridiculous.

Sam smiled as he was doing his dishes, “Even if he was right, he could have found a nicer way to say it, it made him come off as a dick, I am sure he just puts on an act. ” Sam then laughed a little bit because he was sure Arisa’s face filled up with blood at the time she made her comments. “Well Arisa I am sure there are ways around your little no kissing policy. Besides you can have a date without kissing right?” Sam let out a small laugh as he was sure her face would turn even more red. After finishing the dishes Sam walked over to his previous seat and asked Arisa with a flirty smile on his face, “So if you were to sneeze right now would I get sick?” Sam was trying to make a joke, he also wanted to know how much control she has over her powers.

“Even if he was right, he could have found a nicer way to say it, it made him come off as a dick, I am sure he just puts on an act. ”
Arisa smiled at that, it had been quite sometime since she had been surrounded with so much compassion and understanding.
“Well Arisa I am sure there are ways around your little no kissing policy. Besides you can have a date without kissing right?”
Did he just ask me out?, Arisa thought, blushing more at the comment and the thought. No, he couldn’t have, could he?
Sam let out a small laugh, After finishing the dishes Sam walked over to his previous seat and asked Arisa with a flirty smile on his face, “So if you were to sneeze right now would I get sick?”
Arisa smiled sweetly, ”No, you wont get sick. I can control and direct my powers. The only time I lose full control is when I am under debilitating stress, like fear. And seeing as how I don’t think you want to scare me, I think you’ll be ok.” She flashed a coy smile and looked down away from his gaze. Arisa, what is the world are you thinking FLIRTING at a time like this? You just arrived here, you’ve just barely unpacked…is now really the time for this? Arisa smiled to herself and though, oh shut up logic, you’re gonna lose this round.

Sam smiled as he leaned back and ran his hands threw his hair, “no I don’t think I want to scare you if that’s the consequence. Wait so you’re afraid to kiss then?” Sam stood up and went to the fridge and grabbed one of his Gatorades and pulled out his, phone looking at his clock. "Wow we have been here for a while.” Sam paused for a second then said, “Well seeing as you’re new and all,” Sam grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down his number and then handed it to her, “If you ever need a tour of this place or outside in the city, give me a call.” He winked at here with a playful smile, “maybe we can solve that no kissing problem.” Sam laughed and waved as he headed to the door, ”hope to see you around.” And with that Sam left the kitchen.

Arisa giggled at Sam, she was enjoying this flirting thing and she must be doing something right because he was still flirting back.

As soon as Sam left, Arisa pulled out her cell phone and sent a text message to him.
