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.

Fausto kneel down and grab her jacket with the right hand concentrating most part of his will in keep his hand-mouth closed to don't tear up the jacket. he put the jacket on Rosemary's shoulders trying to cover her ... but the jacket slid off again . ¨¨sorry lady , is difficult with one hand ¨ Fausto grins at her trying to apologize . his left hand was staying sleeping in his pocket , still paralyzed from the day of the nightmare. He put all his concentration again in keep his hand-mouth closed , he was doing that until the mouths appear so he was usual to it . ¨ in the beginning my mouths tear up the clothes and destroy weak things like glasses , later the mouths gain strength and destroy most part of thing so i was obligate to learn to closed them in the appropriate time . ¨ He kneel down again and grab the jacket again , and put it again in the shoulders of Rosemary carefully . this time the jacket don't slip away again . ¨lets go lady ...¨ he blushed again and grab Nash^s free hand wrist to make her start walking at his side . Fausto is like a young shy boy and always get embarrassed and blushed for tiny things like that ... he grow up alone and the physical contact with others was minimum before and after the new mutation of his hands ... most part of people find these two extra mouths creepy. so things go worst in that way. But Fausto always saw his mutation like a blessing instead of a cursed . his abilities help a lot when the time to fight injustices came .and he was glad of that .
Nash watched Fausto pick up the jacket and place it on Rosemary's shoulders. Before Nash could move to grab it or say thank you it slipped off.
¨sorry lady , is difficult with one hand ¨
Nash watched as he once again picked it up and this time it stayed on Rosemary's shoulders. His comment made her wonder about his other hand. Was something wrong with it?
¨ in the beginning my mouths tear up the clothes and destroy weak things like glasses , later the mouths gain strength and destroy most part of thing so i was obligate to learn to closed them in the appropriate time . ¨
"Some powers are tricky when you first begin to use them. My powers were always kind of there because of the fact I was born without a stomach and a pair of lungs, so it came naturally for me. Others though I know aren't so lucky." She had never really had difficulty with her leeches. Only when they were protecting her did they ever get out of control. She'd gotten better at keeping them in her well she slept as well. That was really the only improvement she had made over the years.
¨lets go lady ...¨
Her wrist was grabbed and she was pulled along behind him for a moment before she gained her footing and could walk beside him normally. It was at the moment that she felt herself catch up to Fausto that she also felt Rosemary stir. The tiny blond lifted her head and let it fall back onto Nash's shoulders. When she first woke up Rosemary never opened her eyes because it wouldn't make a difference if she did. She mumbled something like 'ello mama.' and then shifted around so that she was facing Fausto's general direction. "Ello." Rosemary said it loud enough for them both to here but was still quit a bit drowsy from her nap.

¨Hellooou Rosemary , how are you pretty child? ¨ Fausto grins at her , she look sleepy, she just wake up and his hair was a little shake . Fausto couldn't saw Rosemary without a blast of words hitting his brain . father , mother ,home, love ,family, Christmas , gifts, birthday. lots of things that he lost along his life ... and perhaps a lonely mother cant give all these things to her daughter .he wanted to help that little family , Nash and Rosemary, to be better . but he didn't find a way to do it . almost not for the moment . Fausto walked at Nash side looking at Rosemary and her , something in her made him feel weird . the color of her eyes made Fausto feel a weird sensation of drowned ... something when you saw a river and you know if you get closer you will fall in it , but you cant avoid getting closer to the river and you end with the water covering you. but you feel better seeing the crystalline water . ¨you know lil lady ... when i was young i liked to do lots of questions ... someone tell me that i was a ¨machinegun firing question boy¨ *Fausto laughed animated , that memories always made him laugh * how old are you lil lady?
"I good." Rosemary said with a smile. It grew on her face childish, but sweet like candy. Everything about the toddler seemed sweet. Even the way she slowly blinked at Fausto. She turned her head and gave her mother a questioning look. Nash grinned. "This is Fausto, Rosemary." Nash whispered to her.
¨you know lil lady ... when i was young i liked to do lots of questions ... someone tell me that i was a ¨machine gun firing question boy. how old are you lil lady?
Nash smiled as Rosemary giggled in a way only a happy toddler could. Nash loved Rosemary's laugh just as much as Rosemary loved to laugh. "I'm dis many!" Rosemary said it and held up 2 fingers like she'd been taught. She let her arm fall to her side, yawned and then squirmed. "Mama!" She said a hint of indignity on her voice. Nash got Rosemary's drift and let her down. Rosemary tugged her mothers jacket around herself and put her arms through it. It looked funny on the toddler because it was too big for her but Rosemary didn't seem to mind. Before Nash could take her hand Rosemary had grabbed a hold of were Fausto was holding onto Nash's wrist and tugged at his hand. She pulled it free and wrapped her small hands around his fingers, well her other hand clung to her mothers. She trotted between them as though she had been there the hole time.

Fausto couldn't dissimulate a big smile in his face when the little lady took her mother jacket and put it on ... the jacket was too big for him . she was lovely . he was staring at her with the big smile when she grab his fingers and walk in the middle of them .he couldn't avoid thinking in a real family now , a dad , a mom and his beautiful daughter .
¨you have two years right? i don't remember when i have two years , i though i am old to remember that . i am 25 year old . *thinking in show with his age with his finger but he realize that he could do it with only one hand * ... my mom was as beautiful and lovely as your mother is . you are too sweet to . mom says that i loved to walk in the middle of dad and her ... and fly in their hands ...¨
Fausto look at Nash in a sight of knowingly with the hope she catch the message , he want to grab her hand and with Nash in the other side get her up with his foots in the air while they walk a few meters .
¨you have two years right? i don't remember when i have two years , i though i am old to remember that . i am 25 year old .... my mom was as beautiful and lovely as your mother is . you are too sweet to . mom says that i loved to walk in the middle of dad and her ... and fly in their hands ...¨
"Wow. You an mama both really old!" Rosemary said it with such astonishment. She couldn't begin to imagine what being so old was like. Then she looked up at Nash and smiled at her mother. "Were pretty like flowers Mama!." She said it and smiled again. Nash though had caught into Fausto's words and just smiled in a devilish manner. "Old are we!" She cried out laughter written on her every word. With a smile she winked at Fausto. "On 3. 1! 2! 3!." Just as she said on 3 she tugged upwards and Rosemary lifted off the ground with a squeal and much giggling. This was something Nash couldn't do on her own and she was glad Fausto was here.

Rosemary was flying near the ground giggling a lot, she was having fun . Fausto was having fun to and seemed that Nash too . that was of the things he do when he was young ... his parents do lot of thing for him , to entertain him and to teach him his way of live . he learn a lot of his parents . Fausto and Nash put Rosemary in the floor ground again .
¨walking alone is bored, i have fun with you two . do you know what is the most funny thing in this world ? *Fausto wait a second to give the situation a little of expectation * fun is in simply things and i have lot of fun making dandelions seeds fly in the air , i love to see how they fly and i tried to imagine streets for the dandelions seeds in the air , trying to see if any of them follow my street ¨ Fausto stop walking and put his sight on Rosemay , he grins for the two , but look to her face with a warn expression . ¨what about going to eat a icecream ? i will pay ¨ Rosemary would say yes obviously but perhaps Nash dont want to give a ice cream to her in a day like that , it wasnt hot but ice cream dont have seasons. perhaps Rosemary dont want one .
¨walking alone is bored, i have fun with you two . do you know what is the most funny thing in this world ?"
Rosemary's unseeing eyes grew wide as Fausto spoke. Wonder was written across her face. Even without her eyes Rosemary was an emotional window. Everything she felt was written on her face clear as day. Nash smiled too.
fun is in simply things and i have lot of fun making dandelions seeds fly in the air , i love to see how they fly and i tried to imagine streets for the dandelions seeds in the air , trying to see if any of them follow my street ¨
"Neat!" Rosemary said and smiling up at him. She began to swing his hands taking Fausto and her mother's with her.She continued to do so even though they had stopped.
¨what about going to eat a icecream ? i will pay ¨
Rosemary's eyes grew very big. So big it seemed almost as though they would grow to be to big for her face. She stared up at Fausto then looked towards her mother than Fausto again. Nash smiled as she guessed the girls hesitation and squeezed her hand. "Sure Ice cream sounds great." Rosemary's eyes grew even bigger, if that was possible and she began to bubble. Then she was jumping up and down in excitement. "Ice Cream!" She dropped both of there hands and did a twirl on the spot. She grabbed their hands again and began to tug them forward. "Come on!"

Fausto didnt notice he was talking about something that perhaps she never know about ... is difficult to deal with blind persons . lot of times you don't give the importance that thing deserve ... you think a flower don't have importance , the rain falling , the moon , the wind carrying away the leafs , lots of simply thing that are so important. lots of thing that you see everyday and don't have important to you , because you can see them all he time .perhaps people like Fausto , a little crazies but in the perfect limit with sanity are the only ones that take the time to look at these tiny things that make you happy and carry you far away , to a different time where another people saw the same stars before or the same river , or tree. but he couldnt do it that worst cause the lil girl undestand the feeling that he wanted to describe , she dont said any complicated thing like Fausto she said only a word ¨Neat¨ ,but his face was truly happy about the dandelion stuff.
since Nash said yes to the ice cream question Rosemary was grabbing they hands and commanding the group forward . Fausto was looking for a ice cream stand ... one guy on a bike selling ice cream... he find one in a corner the man was taking a rest ,perhaps going home until sundown.
¨hey man , give me two of the biggest ice cream you got... one for the lil lady and one for the pretty one . ¨ the man give one to Rosemary and the other to Nash. he pay for the ice creams and they start walking again .
¨is funny how fast the ice cream melt in my mouth ... is useseless to buy one for me .¨ Fausto kneel down in front of Rosemary ¨enjoy yours little lady¨. when he get up, he whisper to Nash ¨the hardest metal last 3 seconds in my mouth . imagine how fast a ice cream melt ...¨
¨hey man , give me two of the biggest ice cream you got... one for the lil lady and one for the pretty one . ¨
Nash didn't get called 'pretty' a lot. It was a rare occurrence, so when she did get called such a thing she was instantly happy. Strange how Fausto could make her so happy simply by calling her pretty. She smiled brightly and accepted the ice cream. She normally didn't have any problem eating ice cream. As far as she knew she had never swelled up over eating an ice cream. She had her epi-pen on her so if she did she would at least be able to get quick relief.
¨is funny how fast the ice cream melt in my mouth ... is useseless to buy one for me . enjoy yours little lady¨.
Rosemary smiled at him "Thanks!" and began to chow down on hers. Purring as she ate it and some how smearing it all over her face as she did. It was a toddler thing to smear food across their face. When Fausto knelled down so did Nash pulling out a napkin from her pocket she tapped Rosemary's shoulder. Rosemary knew without words what to do. She lifted her chin and Nash tucked the napkin into her shirt so that Rosemary wouldn't get it all over her shirt. Nash stood and walked with them remembering to take a bite of her's every now and then.
¨the hardest metal last 3 seconds in my mouth . imagine how fast a ice cream melt ...¨
Nash had a mouth full of ice cream when he said it. She almost went to answer then felt ice cream dribble on her chin and covered her mouth with her free hand. She swallowed before trying to speak again. "I can imagine it melting pretty fast." She smiled, "I got my own food problem's too. There are certain things that when I eat I swell up like a balloon. Like, Salt and vinegar and lemon juice. I get the same if I use bug spray." All these things were deadly to leeches and therefore deadly to Nash as well. Something compelled Nash in that moment, maybe it was the compliment from earlier or her own way of saying thanks, to reach over and take Fausto's hand. She kept her eyes on Rosemary happily trotting in front of them.

Nash hold his hand again . he would be usual to it with her. it was lovely the way she smiled at him . Fausto couldn't avoid blushed again . his face was red like before but he tried to dissimulate that making her pay more attention in his speaking than in his face..
¨the worst part of this power is the fact i cant lick my fingers if i drop ice cream in them . is too bored eat ice cream without can lick your fingers¨ Fausto looked at her with a smile in his face , obviously he was saying it cause Nash dropped his ice cream.Rosemary was eating too . he was happy just walking at they side .Rosemary was just lovely , all the thing she did made her more lovely. Nash was lovely when she smiled naturally without force a smile. her eyes were a little weird but if you looked with attention a kind of magic in them make you wished to could see that eyes everyday.
¨well i see am not the only one that have problems with the food , when i put something in my mouth the taste last one second or less ... imagine that i cant taste the things properly , the worst part of it if when a friend know about this problem ... there is always a joke like ¨help the country with the nuclear trash , you don't taste the trash and they will pay you¨¨ or something like that¨ *Fausto grins at her and continue with his chat* ¨ obviously i never tried to eat nuclear trash but i thought i will could do it , in theory i can ... ¨
¨the worst part of this power is the fact i cant lick my fingers if i drop ice cream in them . is too bored eat ice cream without can lick your fingers¨
"So only your insides can take it but your outsides can't?" Asking the obviously obvious was something Nash always felt the need to do. As in she couldn't help but ask. It would bug her if she didn't. She hoped Fausto didn't mind any of her questions. They were walking down the street holding hands and Nash was worried about asking too many questions. Nash didn't mind listening to Fausto talk and she didn't mind if he asked her any questions because Nash was an accepting person and she knew as people went she wasn't all that common. Her power wasn't the only thing that made her special. It was this nervousness that made her keep her eyes on Rosemary instead of paying attention to the reactions Fausto might be having.
¨well i see am not the only one that have problems with the food , when i put something in my mouth the taste last one second or less ... imagine that i cant taste the things properly , the worst part of it if when a friend know about this problem ... there is always a joke like ¨help the country with the nuclear trash , you don't taste the trash and they will pay you¨ obviously i never tried to eat nuclear trash but i thought i will could do it , in theory i can ... ¨
The idea hadn't even occurred to her. She had never even once in her hole existence thought about how she could help others with her powers. Really though how could her powers help anyone? Personally there was a lot she could do to help others but with her powers she didn't know. They were more self focused then outer. Here she was not even having the idea cross her mind and he was having it brought up to him as a joke. "I'm so stupid sometimes." She breathed out, "And selfish and spoiled. I've never once thought about how I could help others with my ability's. I grew up so sheltered that I've always been so self involved. Then Rosemary was born and I was always more worried about her then the worls she would grow up to inherit. Her grip on his hand tightened a little almost as if she was afraid he would run away.
She plopped the last of her cone into her mouth and reached out to grab Rosemary's hand as they came to a corner. When she spoke again it was to Rosemary. "We have to cross the street here." She turned her head towards Fausto. "If I remember the mansions that way." Head motion, "So we have to cross here."

¨exactly lady , my internal body isn't harmed with the saliva but the rest of my body yes ...except for the lips , the lips resist the saliva perfectly ... but if a go more far than that with my tongue it would hurt a lot ...¨
He looked seriously at her when she said "I'm so stupid sometimes." "And selfish and spoiled. I've never once thought about how I could help others with my ability's. I grew up so sheltered that I've always been so self involved. Then Rosemary was born and I was always more worried about her then the worls she would grow up to inherit.
¨hey lady it was a joke i made of myself , i am sure you can help other peoples too . you helped me a lot ... you are thinking in what way you helped me? *he stop to think what he have to say ... he cant say that her eyes made him feel drowned in a sensation of peace and warn . he cant said her that she erase a big part of the lonely in his heart ...he cant say to her that he loved the way she smiled * you just ... you just helped me .¨ Fausto use his free hand to ruffles her hair like he would do with a little kid and grins at her with a happy smile of sincerity. He change his sight from her to the street in front of they . ¨you are adorable when you smile¨ he blushed again and tighten his hand with more strenght .
¨exactly lady , my internal body isn't harmed with the saliva but the rest of my body yes ...except for the lips , the lips resist the saliva perfectly ... but if a go more far than that with my tongue it would hurt a lot ...¨
Nash listened carefully, something she did no matter who was talking normally. This though was different then just talking to someone. She imprinted into her mind every word he said. She didn't normally do that for just random people.
¨hey lady it was a joke i made of myself , i am sure you can help other peoples too . you helped me a lot ... you are thinking in what way you helped me?
She was startled by his reply. She'd let her own feelings get in the way of what she was saying again! She seriously needed to stop doing that. He probably thought she was stuffy or all dark. She didn't say anything to him though and just listened as he continued. She wondered why he was thinking so hard? Was he trying to find something to say or thinking of what to say?
"you just ... you just helped me .¨
She got her hair ruffled. Like she was a child. It had been so long since anyone had done that. She'd only been 13 when her powers had awakened and after that her parents hadn't really wanted her around. The older she got the less affectionate they had gotten with her as well. It was weird how parents did that. She looked up at him wide-eyed and blinked back tears that had formed in her eyes. She didn't bother to fix her hair. It was wind blown already.
¨you are adorable when you smile¨
She felt his hand tighten on hers and smiled so big she thought her face would split. Then she closed her eyes and lowered her head for a moment. Just when it seemed she was depressed again she threw it back and loudly said. "You must think I'm such a depressed person! I'm not!" She knew women shouldn't speak with their mouths so wide but she didn't care. As her head came back down she realized the light had changed and she began to walk again. One hand was holding Rosemary's and the other was holding tightly onto Fausto's.

Their hands were holding each other tightly , he knew that he wasn't a perfect man ... perfection doesn't exist .. but he knew that she made him felt special , like when he was a little boy that all the people loved and talked to him until they find his mutation ... he wanted to show her that she was special , not a mutant ... she already knew that . he wanted to show her that she was special for him . a beatiful flower growing in a dessert.
Fausto stare at her when she lowered her head for a moment.for some reason she said aloud "You must think I'm such a depressed person! I'm not!" Fausto didn't thought that she was creepy or depressed or darker or a sad person ... she was only a little tired about all the problems in life, the problems after life too . her husband leave her with a little girl to raise , not because he want but in the end he wasn't there for her when she needed him... who in the world would have a eternal smile in his face when the world hit him/her with all his fury ...?nobody cant keep smiling when Death come to take away your love .
He stare at her laughting a little ... he look his face ... his eyes ... he speak with confident. ¨No , i am not thinking you are a depressed person.¨ he grins at her again with a warm smile . ¨You are lovely the way you are , but i wish you could smile more ¨ Fausto^s face was a little blushed but was a good price for him to see again her smile
