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 smiled as he read the text, and responded Sure, I think I can fit you in my schedule tonight ☺. Sam smiled as he sent it thinking about what one of the guys at the mansion said as he was learning the tips of texting to girls; he said the girls love smiley faces. Sam was sure he was right so he tried it hopeing it paid off.
It was only two when he left Arisa in the kitchen and he had some time to kill before he was going to meet her outside of the mansion. So instead of using this time constructively Sam decided to nap. Sam woke a few hours later, realizing he was going to be late. Sam jumped out of bed and ran over to his closet and put some black pants and a tight black shirt on. Sam moosed his hair a little so it was a little spiked in front. He grabbed his silver watch and put it on. He looked in the mirror and smiled, “Nice.” Sam then booked it out of his room and then sprinted to the entrance to meet his date.
Sam thought about it on the way to the entrance, and figured the perfect date, well at least in his opinion.

Sure, I think I can fit you in my schedule tonight.
Arisa made a soft sqee sound after she got the text from Sam, it even had a little smiley face! Too cute. Now, only one problem…What to wear. Arisa rose from her seat and walked over to the sink to wash her dish, then raced up to her room to get ready.
After about a half an hour of so of throwing dresses, tops, and accessories about the room, Arisa was sure she had found the perfect out fit. She sat at her vanity and turned on her curling iron and began putting on her makeup. She styled her hair into long waves and curls that flowed down her back and shoulders like an black silk waterfall. She slipped into a long black strapless dress with a slit up both sides that came to just above the knee. Over her shoulders she put on a black lace shell with long sleeves that ended in open Victorian style bells. She put on a sparkling black choker and matching earrings that made her seem to shimmer like a dark star. She reach into her closet and pulled out a pair of tall black leather stiletto Jimmy Choo boots and zipped them up. Perfect…
Arisa looked at the clock setting on her nightstand, she had finished just in time. She grabbed her black lace clutch and headed down to the front door to wait for her date. She reached the bottom of the steps and went up to the door and stood with perfect poise and elegance. She wasn’t going to leave anything to chance…not this time…

Sam smiled and let out a small whistle as she walked down the stars. She looked good, her posture as well she looked like a queen descending the stairs. Then he noticed the stiletto boots Sam had know idea how women could look so good in such painful looking shoes. He spoke to Arisa sounding like gentlemen, “wow, kinda feel a little underdressed.” He let out a small laugh as he looked down at his white sneakers and noticed he had a hole in his pants by the knee. Sam waited till she was close to eyelevel with him when he asked, ”So you ready to go tonight? I got a fun night for us in the city.” Sam smiled and opened the door.

“wow, kinda feel a little underdressed.”
Arisa Smiles at Sam and winks, ”I think you look great Sam.” She smiled sweetly at him, her white teeth dazzling.
”So you ready to go tonight? I got a fun night for us in the city.” Sam smiled and opened the door.
Arisa smiled even brighter and nodded shyly at him, “I can’t wait.” She walked out the door with a grace and elegance beyond her years. As she passed the threshold she looked back over her shoulder at her date and looked him up and down, she looked forward again and smiled. In her heart, this was already turning out to be perfect.

Sam walked Arisa to the front gate and got in to the taxi he called 15 minutes before. The taxi as a driver for a date was lame but Sam didn’t have a car so his options are very limited. After letting Arisa in first he got in and said to the cabby, “Hey guy take me to the usual.” Sam smiled and winked at Arisa as the cabby turned to respond to Sam, “you got it Sammy.” With that the taxi left the mansion. Sam really hoped that she would let Sammy go, he was never to found of that name.
The cab ride wasn’t to long and the ended up near central park. Sam got out and opened the door for Arisa as he grossly overpaid his buddy the cabby driver. Sam then looked at a neon sign of a restaurant as Sam smiled he said “okay well here is the first part of it, hope you like Italian food.”

Arisa smiled brightly, ”I LOVE Italian food! My parents took me to Italy when I was little and I became addicted. I’m a sucker for spaghetti.” She laughed musically, and her eyes shined brightly. The tarnished gold color of them seemed less dark somehow, now they sparkled. She took Sam’s hand and laced her fingers through his and smiled at him again. She seemed to be doing a lot of that lately, and mostly…it was for him. ”lets go!” she said with beautiful excitement and she started walking in the direction of the restaurant.

Sam was a little surprised that the start of the date was going so well, and to top it off she loved spaghetti. “Italy huh? One of the few places I don’t remember ever going to.” He smiled as she laced her hand in his and smiled at him. Sam wasn’t really sure how to react as she pulled him to the restaurant. Sam opened the door and guided her in by touching the small of her back. He got to the podium where a tall guy who looked like his nose was stuck higher than the rest of his body.
“Table for two please.” Sam was polite as possible as he looked around. He loved this place. The smell of pizza and the sound of a violinist walking around the place taking requests.
Sam smiled as they were seated and the waiter approached within seconds. She was cute little brunette and she seemed really nice as she was asking for their drink orders and if they were ready for their food order. But as Sam was about to start flirting with the girl he remembered the situation. It would have been bad but he looked at Arisa and smiled at her and said, “I’ll have a water.” Sam waited for Arisa to order then he went back to talking with her. “So you been anywhere besides Italy?”

Arisa immediately is in love with the restaurant, it was almost like being back in Italy. After they were seated Arisa looked through the menu not sure what she should get. When the waitress came over Arisa got a bit nervous. She was very pretty and same had a look on his face that suggested he was fully aware. However, he didn’t flirt with her, he turned all of his attention to Arisa and all she could do was smile at him. ”I’ll have an Italian cream soda, lemon. And a water.” She sat down the menu and looked at Sam, ”I’ve been all over the place, mostly Europe though. Once a year we would go to Tuscany and stay in my grandmothers villa. In high school me and my best friend at the time went to Paris as a birthday gift for me from my parents, the shopping was fabulous and the food was even better.” Arisa realized now was not the time to talk about shoes or prada. ”So tell me more about yourself Sam, I seem to find myself at a slight disadvantage when it comes to you.”

Sam looked at Arisa and took in every word he was focused on her. Up until she asked Sam about his world. This was a touchy subject. He didn’t really know how to respond. But luckily for him the waitress came with the drinks. Sam’s attention immediately snapped as he looked to the waitress and said, “Wow that was pretty fast.” The waitress smiled and said, “You should see what else I can do.” Sam smiled and looked to Arisa and raised his eyebrows at her looking surprised. Sam cracked a smile trying to hold back a smart and flirty comment and said, “I am going to have the large three topping pizza the toppings are going to be pepperoni, banana peppers and bacon, and make it a deep dish please.” Sam looked to Arisa and said, “you want to jump in on this awesome dish? Or would you like something else?”

As Arisa waited for Sam to speak the waitress came back with their drinks.
“Wow that was pretty fast.” The waitress smiled and said, “You should see what else I can do.”
Arisa’s eyebrow shot up a mix of annoyance and disgust on her face, did this low class, minimum wage tramp just hit on my date? Oh…lady, you’re going to regret this. Arisa smiled at same, but not the same shining smile as before, this was a plastic smile, and her eyes went a little dark. ”That sounds great Sam, oddly those are some of my favorite toppings.” The waitress left to put in their order and Arisa watched her walk away and kept her eye on the kitchen door. She looked at Sam again and this time gave him a real smile, ”That was awful gutsy of her wasn’t it?” Arisa mockingly laughed at what she had just said. Then the kitchen door opened and the waitress came out. Much to Arisa’s delight, she didn’t go to a table either, she went into the restrooms, perfect, Arisa thought in a grim sort of way. She smiled and said, ”be right back, I’m gonna go powder my nose…” She kept her tone light and smiled again, she then rose and walked with the grace and ferocity of a jungle cat toward the restrooms.

”be right back, I’m gonna go powder my nose…”
Sam smiled and said, “Take your time.” Sam thought this was a perfect opportunity to figure out how he would respond to her questions about his past. Then he thought about, he could just beat around the bush like he did when Lee asked him. It would be simple enough to remember. He worked for a company that regards sales and customer services and he was one of the top salesmen so he traveled a lot. Sam recited those things over in his head. Waiting for Arisa to come back.

Arisa entered the restroom to find the waitress applying lipstick that just scream trashy slut. Arisa walked up to the mirror and opened her purse and pulled out her own lipstick which was a deep merlot color. As she applied it she spoke in a dark voice, ”so, I suppose you consider flirting with other people’s dates to be good customer service huh?” The waitress looked at Arisa in the mirror and smirked, “whats wrong sugar, worried I’m gonna steal your sexy little boyfriend away?” her voice was even and slimy. Arisa made a noncommittal shrug and then straightened up, ”no” Arisa’s eyes went black, ”not really” She leaned down as close as she could to the woman, who gasped when she saw Arisa’s void like eyes. Arisa spoke in a grim tone, ”Be warned you sleazy little gutter tramp, you so much as make eye contact with him while we are here, and I promise you that you will find yourself hooked up to a saline drip in the nearest emergency room. Do I make myself perfectly clear?” The waitress nodded in a panicked way then fled the rest room. Arisa’s eye went back to normal and she looked at herself in the mirror and smirked wickedly.
Arisa returned to the table and smiled at Sam who was waiting patiently, ”sorry I took so long, I couldn’t find my favorite lipstick…”

”Sorry I took so long, I couldn’t find my favorite lipstick…”
Sam noticed that she came back before she said anything. He looked at her and smiled, “You know anything would look good on you.” he paused for a second, “So what did you exactly want to know about me?”

“You know anything would look good on you.” he paused for a second, “So what did you exactly want to know about me?” Arisa smiles softly at his complement and looked down for a split second feeling a little embarassed. She then took a deep breath and considered his question. ”I dunno, anything I guess. Hobbies, favorite color, what kind of music you like, where you come from, who your family is…things like that.” She gazed at him very intently for a moment, almost as though she were trying to read his thoughts, but of course she didn’t have that ability. ”I don’t know how to explain it but…I just feel like I want to know everything about you. No one has ever made me feel so safe before or made me smile so much. I just want to learn about you so I can understand what it is that makes you for…wonderful.” She blushed a bit after having made that comment realizing this must sound awfully pushy considering it was only their first date.

”I dunno, anything I guess. Hobbies, favorite color, what kind of music you like, where you come from, who your family is…things like that.”
Sam listened to what she had to say she certainly wanted to know a lot about him. Most of those were easy to answer except for the last one he smile faded as he was trying to think about how he would talk about the family he never knew about. Then she continued,
”I don’t know how to explain it but…I just feel like I want to know everything about you. No one has ever made me feel so safe before or made me smile so much. I just want to learn about you so I can understand what it is that makes you for…wonderful.”
Sam let out a laugh seeing how she looked a little embarrassed; “Well, to be honest there are a lot of things that make me wonderful.” He smiled at her feeling way over confident. He put his hand on his chin thinking hard about her questions, “Well let’s see, I like sports, anything in the water, working out, and…” he paused for a second with a smirk, “well if I tell you the rest of my hobbies it will ruin the surprise later on.” He then thought about the rest of the questions, “don’t really have a favorite but if I would have to pick one it’d be blue, I like most music except for country.” Then he started to hesitate for a second he didn’t really want to talk that much about the next to subjects.
Sam smiled as it was perfect timing, the waitress came with the food, and Sam dodged a bullet. The smell of the pizza was intoxicating; the bacon smelt fresh the banana peppers gave off a sweet smell. Sam smiled looking at the pizza as he turned to thank the waitress she was already on her way back to the kitchen, which was kind of weird considering she was flirting with Sam only minutes ago. But Sam had a gorgeous date so he wasn’t to attentive to the waitress. Sam dished out the pizza first to Arisa then to him, “So Arisa, your turn to talk tell me about your self.”
