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.

“So Arisa, your turn to talk tell me about your self.”
Arisa thinks for a moment choosing not to pay attention to his dodging of her questions. ”Well, I was born in Chicago, IL. My dads name was Alexander, my moms was Monique. I used to do gymnastics and ballet, and I would also do horse shows but I never really got into it like some girls do. Writing was always my thing, actually I have a book published. It was a New York Times best selling piece of horror fiction. I don’t tell to many people about that since I write under a pen name.” she laughed a bit half heartedly, talking about her past was painful for her, maybe Sam’s past was painful too. Hopefully someday she would find out.

It was a New York Times best selling piece of horror fiction. I don’t tell to many people about that since I write under a pen name.”
Sam smiled as she told him about her self. He listened, ready to ask more questions about her hobbies. Sam hesitated before he asked her hoping she wouldn’t make him read the horror story. He hated those kinds of moves, the scared him like no other, horror and gore these types of movies and books he can live without. Give him the real situation any day. “You published a book?” he said trying not to sound to excited, “I guess you’ll have to tell me bout the summery some time.” Sam wasn’t much of a reader he was more of an action type of guy.
A few minutes past by as they talked and ate, and once they finished they got the check. Sam paid in full and walked he Arisa out of the restaurant. two things made him happy one was his date with Arisa was going great and second, he had 3 slices of pizza left over for lunch tomorrow. Sam guided Arisa to the corner and said, “I don’t know how big you on walking but we got to walk a bit to get there.” Sam smiled at her and said, “you ready to go?”

“Alright lets go then.” Sam said with a little power in his voice getting excited for the continuation of the date. Sam held Arisa’s hand tight as he crossed the street heading towards central park. Sam looked at the sky and saw a few stars and smiled. Sam continued to pull Arisa threw central park. He started to slow the pace a bit and as he was nearing his destination he smiled at her continuing the conversation, “So how do you like the mansion so far?”

“So how do you like the mansion so far?”
Arisa smiled and shrugged, ”I dunno, I guess it’s ok. I suppose I can’t give you a good answer until I’ve actually been there for more then a day.” Arisa throws her head back and laughs musically, her hair swishing about her shoulders and across her face making her appear beautiful and mysteries. She looks over at Sam, her hair falling over one of her eyes, and she smiles at him. But this wasn’t a normal smile, at least Arisa didn’t feel like it was. To her it felt like she was smiling at someone she had known for a very long time, someone she cared deeply for. That’s silly! How could I possibly have feelings like that? I just met the guy. Though…she gazes at Sam’s profile for a long moment, though maybe I’m not crazy…maybe there really is something about this guy that draws me to him like this. Maybe he is someone I was meant to meet. I guess only time will tell.

Sam let out a laugh, “that’s true you only have been there one day.” Sam then smiled as they were almost there. They had been walking on a path up until now Sam was dragging her to an area full of trees. This was by far his favorite place in New York City. Sam smiled as he said; “close you eyes were almost there.”

“close you eyes were almost there.”
Arisa got closer to Sam and wrapped her arms around his left arm to keep herself balanced as she walked blindly. She closed her eyes and put all of her trust in Sam. She felt her heart begin to race as they walked along, wondering where on earth he could be taking her.

After maneuvering threw the trees they were there. It was a very large pond. Sam smiled in awe to the beauty of it. Sam looked at the lake as he saw the reflection of the moon as well as some of the lights from the city. He let out a small laugh, “You’re going to absolutely love this. You can open them now.” Sam smiled as he waited for Arisa reaction. One of Sam’s favorite parts about this pond was not only it was vacant when it was dark but it also had the trees acting as a fence so the had their privacy. Sam set down his pizza on the ground then stood back up next to Arisa. He looked up at the sky taking in the sight the stars were now visible which added to the wonderful night.

Arisa opened her eye’s, it took only a moment for them to adjust and she let out a small gasp of surprise. She loved places like this, they were always so beautiful and tranquil. She had actually gone to a few ponds out in the countryside when she would meditate. She looked over at Sam and smiled softly, ”this is so wonderful Sam, thank you for bringing me here.” Lightly she laid her head upon his shoulder and gazed out at the moon lit water, wishing that that moment would last forever.

Sam smiled, she liked it, and the date is going great. Sam put his arm round Arisa as she rested her head on his shoulder. He loved being tall. Sam stood there watching the sight he learned to appreciate. Sam then shifted and fell to the ground landing flat on his back. Sam’s eyes filled with sparkles as the concentrated on the stars and moon above. Sam got an idea as he lay there gazing at the sky.

Sam’s falling to the ground startled Arisa at first, then she noticed his dreamy expression. She smiled and lowered herself to the ground and laid her head on his shoulder once more. She gazed up at the stars each resembling a sparkling diamond which seemed the wink and shimmer just for them. She sighed out of comfort, satisfaction, and happiness. Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought she would find herself here, but she was, and she couldn’t have been happier.

Sam smiled as he had a great idea, if the move worked he would have to patent it because almost every ice manipulator around the world would use it. Sam concentrated for a second and lowered the temperature around him and Arisa. Arisa would feel it as a slight breeze, and feel cold. Sam’s smile widened he was a geniuses if it worked out. Arisa already was laying her head on his shoulder again, what more could he ask for. This was probably the best date he had ever put together.

Arisa shudders when a sudden cold wind passes over her, odd considering it’s the middle of summer…She glaces over at Sam and sees the smile on his face an realizes it must be him. She smiles to herself and decides to play along. ”Wow, it got so cold all of a sudden!” She slides closer to Sam and turns on her side so she is facing into him. She looks up into his eyes and smiles softly, ”I can officially say, this is the best first date I’ve ever been on.”

”Wow, it got so cold all of a sudden!” She slides closer to Sam and turns on her side so she is facing into him.
Sam smile widened as he continued to star gaze. Sam knew she knew it was he making the breeze and she still got closer. Sam defiantly liked this date. Sam turned his head to stare directly at Arias. He never noticed this before but she had really pretty eyes, they sort of reminded him of gold embers coming from a fire. Sam smiled as leaned in closer to her. ”I can officially say, this is the best first date I’ve ever been on.”
Sam was taken aback by these words, he knew it was an awesome date but the best first date? Sam did a great job at this. Trying hard not to sound cocky he smiled and said, “Wait till you see the second one.” He smiled and gave her a small kiss on the forehead. Being careful of her abilities he covered his lips in a small layer of ice.

Arisa smiles when Sam kisses her, it’s been a long time since she had been with someone like that. Even still, slight fear caught in her mind, she was worried about what might happen to him if things ever went further. ”Sam…are you sure you want to get so close to me, I mean emotionally. What is I end up hurting you because of my powers…I don’t think I could live with myself if something awful happened to you because of me…” Arisa let out a heavy sigh , I shouldn’t be allowing myself to get this close to someone anyway, and what kind of future could we have together really? I’m a plague…I could kill him, or worse. But I can’t help but feel like this is ok, like this is where I am supposed to be. What should…
