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 sighed as he grabbed his water bottle and towel from the side of the Danger Room as he looked to Seraph and asked, “So what you think about the new smart robots? Learn fast don’t they?” Sam was slightly excited that his elemental opposite Seraph was willing to do a training scenario.
It had been a while since he had seen or heard from Seraph so Sam was a little curious to see what he was up to. “So what have you been up to, haven’t seen you in a while.” Said Sam as he took a sip from his water bottle and then covered his face in his towel his towel wiping away all of the sweat. Sam put the towel on his back and took another sip of water as he walked out of the danger room with Seraph.
Nathan was just starting to cool down from the exercise when he walked over to Sam. The scenario had pushed him harder than anything he had done in a while, maybe ever. Nathan was busy wiping sweat from his face with his shirt when Sam spoke.
"Way too fast. Or perhaps I'm just too slow. But I can see why Tricity wanted us to do this scenario." The part of the simulation when he couldn't save Luke was still weighing heavy on Nathan's mind. What if that had been real? What if he was really dead because of me? Because of my mistake?
Sam's speaking broke Nathan from his mental self-abuse. "I haven't been doing much lately. I had to rush home because of some urgent family business and that kept me tied down for a while. But I'm back now." Nathan really didn't feel like sharing much at the moment.
"How about you? How has the Mansion been treating you since I've been gone? Not too many girls have turned you down for dates I hope."

"I haven't been doing much lately. I had to rush home because of some urgent family business and that kept me tied down for a while. But I'm back now."
Sam nodded, “Well it’s good to have you back, the mansion seemed some what slower than usual while you were away.” Sam grinned as he pulled his left arm into a stretch. Sam was about to ask what happened that was so urgent but then decided against it. Sam new if Nathan wanted to share something he probably would have. So Sam just nodded as Seraph continued to speak.
"How about you? How has the Mansion been treating you since I've been gone? Not too many girls have turned you done for dates I hope."
Laughter came from Sam as he nodded slightly, “Either were getting to know each other better or I can be read like a book!” Sam really hoped it was the first one, the last thing he wanted was people to know he could be read like a book. “Well things have been going good, welcomed a few new residents, and yeah the girls have been good for me… One in particular.” Said Sam with a sly grin on his face as he thought about calling Leila.
Sam turned his head to Seraph as he started walking for the exit of the danger room, “How bout you man? Meet any cute girls around here?” Sam asked curiously.
Nathan couldn't help but notice the look on Sam's face as he said "one in particular". It made him want to bust out in laughter, but he held it in. Am I really that different from him? I probably had that same look on my face whenever I thought of Ali. "That sounds great."
Nathan let loose a slight chuckle. "Well it's funny you should mention that. When I left I still had a girlfriend here. Her name was Ali. She is the other fire elemental. But I made the mistake of not letting her know I was leaving. As for our current state of affairs....I owe her, big time. And I need to find a way to make it up to her."
Nathan and Sam exited the Danger Room. They walked a little farther along th hallway before Nathan spoke. "Hey, I was thinking about taking Ali out for a date tonight. Would you and your...special someone care to join us?"

Sam’s head nodded up and down as Nathan spoke, ‘well that's a given buddy even I know that one.’ Sam however didn’t feel like verbalizing this to make Nathan feel ever worse about the situation.
"Hey, I was thinking about taking Ali out for a date tonight. Would you and your...special someone care to join us?"
Once again Sam laughed and nodded to Nathan, “Just about to ask you that same question!” said Sam still laughing, “Double Date huh? Haven’t been on one of those in a long time…” said Sam as he thought to himself, “Yeah I think that would be cool with Leila, So where you have in mind? Dance club? Dinner movie? The ladder?”
It had been a while since Sam had been on a legit date; he hadn’t counted the few makeout sessions as dates but who would? As far as Sam was concerned he had yet to go out on a single date with Leila. Hopefully tonight that was about to change.

The Danger Room hadn't been seeing Leila very much, ever since the lesson with Sam, she had only been there once, and that had been a quick, lonely time where she had practiced what the Ice Manipulator had taught her. Speaking of Sam, she hadn't seen him all day. Where was he? Leila slid down in her Computer Chair, dropping the towel she had been using to dry her hair and opened up her E-mail, she wanted to see if he had sent her something. Nope.
She then opened up her Cell, but yet again, there was no missed calls, not even a text from him. Well, whatever he was doing couldn't be so important, plus, it wasn't like they were really a couple, even if they had been making out on a regular basis. Really though, Leila was still waiting for him to actually ask her out. Smiling nothertherless, she looked down at Sam's picture on her phone. He was the greatest guy she had the chance to actually hold in her arms.
Leila picked up the towel again, only to dump it in the laundry basket behind her door. "Argh, I feel so reckless." she said under her breath as she passed a hairbrush through her damp, tangled hair. About ten minutes later, she was ready. Wearing tight, short shorts and a tank top, her long hair tied in a high pony tail. Danger Room, here she comes. She took her Gym bag, filling it with a new towel, a bottle of water and a sweater, she was offically ready.
Locking her door behind her, Leila put her Ipod on and begun the walk towards the DR. It wasn't long before she spotted Sam and a man she hadn't met before. Smiling at herself, the blonde watched them a few seconds, catching a few words like "Dance club?" and "Dinner movie". So Sam was asking this man for dating advice? Grinning slightly, she pretended not to have heard and started walking again, towards them this time.
She smiled at Sam, "Hey," she said, "Danger Room treated you guys nicely?" she asked, seeing their sweaty clothes and tired expressions more clearly now. So that was what he'd been doing. She couldn't really argue with that, it wasn't as if they were dating anyway. "I'm Leila by the way," she added to the other guy, holding out her hand.

Nathan was about to speak but he held it in as someone approached them. It was a above average heigth blonde with blue extensions in her hair. She appeared rather cute in her outfit. She had to have been going to the Danger Room. Nathan could think of no other reason for her to be dressed so.
"I don't think the Danger Room could ever be accussed of being nice. My name is Nathan. Nice to meet you." Nathan clasped Leila's hand. "I guess you two already know each other." Indicating between Sam and Leila.
Nathan spoke to Sam, "Ali and I are up for pretty much whatever. Whatever you feel like doing."

Sam smiled and nodded, “It was fun.” said Sam slightly after Nathan spoke. He then walked over to Leila and kissed her on the lips, it was a short kiss but enough to get the point out that Sam did indeed know Leila and to give Nathan an idea that she was the girl he was talking about earlier.
"Ali and I are up for pretty much whatever. Whatever you feel like doing."
Pulling away from Leila Sam looked to Nathan and smiled, alright how about Dinner and dancing then?” Sam turned to Leila hoping that she wouldn’t shoot down his offer, “What you think Leila, double date, dinner and dancing?” Sam figured this was a perfect opportunity to get to know Leila better. Odds were if they just went out on a date just the two of them Sam wasn’t sure how much talking would happen.

Leila grinned slightly again in Sam's direction, but that wasn't enough for him, it seems. Leila however, didn't respond like she usually did, instead she just waited until he was done, feeling slightly awkward. Sure, she had kissed Sam around others before, once when the public hadn't really noticed, and the second, well she was too angry to be embarassed, now though; she was around someone who she wasn't angry with, and was indeed paying attention to them.
When he let go of her however, she regretted not kising him back. "What was that for?" she said teasingfully as she hugged him quickly. Then he spilled the beans about what they'd been talking about. Oh, so he wasn't asking for advice, he was planning a double date with Nathan! "Sounds good," she said, wondering if it was best for them to go on a Double Date instead of just the two of them. They really needed to know a little more about one an other; because right now, she hardly knew what to buy him for Christmas!
Nodding at Sam, she made her answer clearer. "I'd love to go." she said, wondering who Ali may be. Had she been at Raina's party? Leila wondered if she had seen her, would the two women get along? Or would they simply ruin the entire date by arguing and such? Leila wasn't exactly as nice and sweet with females as she was with males. Oh well, Sam would probably keep her calm and civilized. He knew what she could do if she got angry, he had been present when she had punched a man twice her size in the nose.
In fact, she had even ordered Sam to kill the guy. Now that she thought of it, it seemed a little over-the-top, she didn't really want Blake dead, he had just made an awfully serious mistake by insulting Sam in front of her. So, with thast Leila grinned at the two men, "Sam, call me when you have the time?" she asked, a sweet air to her voice. Then she looked at Nathan, "Nice to meet you," she said, and then with that said, walked away, a smile on her face.

Nathan shly shifted his weight to his heels and turned his head when Sam kissed Leila. It was amazing how quickly someone could feel like they were the third wheel. By what Leila said she was up for the double date as well. She said goodbye and walked past them entering the Danger Room.
As soon as she was gone Nathan said, "She's cute. I hope she's the girl you were talking about." Nathan paused and then laughed. When he was done he said, "Well, I have to go talk to Ali about our plans tonight. I'll see you in a bit I guess." Nathan turned and started to walk away.

Ali was out at her favorite place to practice her fire dancing. The basletball court always had lots of room and very few people went out to it. Besides, it was better than having to schedule time in the Danger Room. This time Ali was practicing with her swords. She found it best to alter her training between her poi and her swords.
During her routine she spotted a familiar figure and smiled. She was well practiced enough to notice outside distractions and not mess up her flow. Doing shows with her dance team helped with that as people would always clap or make awe inspired comments.

“Sam, call me when you have the time?"
Sam nodded and smiled as he watched Leila walk into the Danger Room. ‘Damn I am SO lucky!’ thought Sam as he watched her walk. A quick “talk to you soon” was yelled to here as she continued to walk away. After she was gone Sam grinned and looked to Nathan. The expression on his face showed that Nathan did just see what just happened. ‘bad luck with the girls as if!’ thought Sam as he grinned.
“She's cute. I hope she's the girl you were talking about."
Sam laughed and joked, “Well she is one of them, but yeah she was the one that I will be bringing on the date. He grinned to Nathan who seemed he had somewhere else to be as well.
"Well, I have to go talk to Ali about our plans tonight. I'll see you in a bit I guess."
Sam nodded and said, “Alright man out front at eight o’clock! You and your date.” Said Sam as he walked back casually to his room and then to shower.

Leila's time in the Danger Room was typical, she had brought up two Computer Robots, one female and one male, as an attempt to practice her defence skills. Her Mutation didn't help much, only being able to Shift into a Dolphin, so she'd better learn some good moves. The female had been easier, she had been nearly a head shorter then Leila and weighted nothing... Though truthfully, neither did Leila. The male however, well let's just say if it would of had been a real attack, she would of probably gotten hurt, as she had paused him just before a hard punch came her way.
Now it was just past 5'Clock, Leila had been here for half the Afternoon and she was really building up an appetite. Should she eat now? She didn't want to look like such a pig when her and Sam went out tonight. Sighing, she gulpped down the remaining water from her Bottle and wiped away the sweat on her forehead. She'd eat a salad from the Deli on the other side of the street after taking a shower. She didn't want to smell like Gym Socks either.

After leaving Sam, Nathan immediately walked to the basketball court. He knew that Ali would be out there practicing her fire dancing at this time of day. As he walked up to the court he smiled. It didn't matter how many times he saw her dance, it was still breath taking. Of course this could be due to the fact of Nathan's feelings for Ali, but Nathan didn't believe that. The fire dance was something special all its own.
Nathan took notice that Ali had chosen to utilize swords with her routine today. It made him slightly uneasy and reminded him that he should choose his words carefully when he spoke to Ali. Although, her greeting did give him the slightest boost in his level of confidence.
"Not much gorgeous. Just out for a stroll looking for my girlfriend. I don't see here around here at the moment. And since that is the case, would you like to go on a double date with a few others. And me as well, of course."

So he wants to be sarcastic does he? Well, we'll just have to see about changing his perspective. Ali continued with her routine, but she started moving around more now. She was drifting closer to Nathan.
"Are you sure you don't see your girlfriend out here? I could've sworn I saw her when I came out here. I'm sure she would love to go out with you tonight."
