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.

Nathan couldn't help but notice that fact that Ali was moving closer to him while still swinging her swords. It made him more than a little nervous at that moment. Now that's not her normal routine. It wasn't that Nathan was afraid something would happen by mistake, but Ali would do something on purpose.
Catching the emphasis on the 'she', Nathan then said, "No, I don't see her..." Nathan made a display of looking around high and low as if looking for Ali. His gaze stopped on Ali and he widdened his eyes for affect. He was acting as if he was just seeing Ali for the first time.
"Oh, there you are. I was just looking for you. Do you have any plans tonight?"

Nathan made his own little show of literally looking around for Ali. When he finally acknowledged her Ali couldn't help but laugh. She finished her routine and put her swords in their case. Picking up the case she walked over to Nathan and gave him a kiss.
"You sure think you're funny don't ya?"
Now Ali played Nathan for a moment. She squinted her eyes while cocking her head to one side as if thinking hard.
"Nope. No plans tonight. You know I'd love to go out with you. So whatever you have planned count me in."

Nathan smiled when she laughed. He loved to make her laugh. As she placed her swords in their case, Nathan let his muscles relax. And kissed her back as she kissed him.
"Well, I always make an effort." Ali's feigned puzzled look caused Nathan to grin. "That's great. Sam and I just planned the double date I mentioned earlier. He's bringing a girl named Leila. I'm not sure if you've met her yet since she's new. We're going to meet at the front of the Mansion at 8."
Nathan grabbed Ali's free hand and said, "I'll walk you to your room." When they had reached her door, Nathan gave Ali a kiss. "I'll see you tonight."

Sam walked down the stairs to the front mansion five minutes before eight. Sam looked at his watch and sighed, “early” muttered Sam as he caught his reflection in a mirror and smiled, “I clean up good,” laughed Sam to himself. Black T-shirt, baggy blue jeans, and a leather jacket, this was tonight’s assemble for the double date, and considering it was dinner and dancing it would work out perfectly. Sam looked up to his hair and smiled, it had been a while since he spiked it but he thought that the date was worth the extra minute to fix his hair up, he did after all have to dress to impress his date.
A minute went by as Sam went to a chair by the front door which he sat in and twirled his car keys around his fingers waiting for the others wondering who was driving or if they would take separate cars. If they took two cars it gave the option of a little one on one time with Leila. Sam thought about it and shrugged, “could always ask Nathan what he wants to do about it.”

Leila was running a little later then she had hoped. She had eaten half the salad, leaving just enough room for something when the men took her and Nathan's date somewhere special tonight. Leila couldn't help but smile as she tried pulling her hair in a messy bun for the third time. The long blonde hair just couldn't help itself tonight, so she ended up leaving it loose and curly, no extentions. It was rare that Leila didn't wear her extentions, but as this was a little fancy, maybe blue highlights wasn't the best thing to have.
Apart from that, she was wearing a black skirt that ended half way to the knees, and a glittery silver sleevless shirt. Picking out her favorite pair of black high heels and her small black purse, Leila was ready. Looking at herself one last time in the mirror, she imagined how handsome Sam would be. It wasn't so hard, but she didn't have time to stare at the mirror blankly, "Wish me luck!" she said to the Fish she hadn't been able to converse with in a couple of days now.
She hadn't really ezpected to hear anything today either, but surprisingly, she did. "You won't need luck, you got Sam wrapped around you!" and with that, Leila was off, her hair flying as she rushed down the few floors that lead to the Mansion Entrance. Before turning the last corner, Leila checked the time quickly, It was 7:59, she had one minute to spare, so she wasn't THAT late. Taking a deep breath, hoping this wasn't a ploy to embarass her, Leila walked the few steps that let her see Sam, and Sam to see her.
Leila took the steps that seperated the two, kissing him slightly on the lips. "Don't you look stunning tonight." she said, grinning at him.

It was always sweet when Nathan walked Ali to her room. Most of the time it was after he sat or stood mesmerized at her fire dance practice. Nonetheless she always enjoyed his company.
So they were invited on a double dat with Sam and a girl named Leila. Ali couldn't place the name. No faces of mutations jumped out in her mind. With a slight shrug she continued to get ready for the evening. She was pretty sure that whom ever this girl was Ali would do what she could to help the girl feel comfortable.
Looking through her closet Ali picked out a red dress that hugged her feminine curves and went doen to just above her knees. Next she grabbed an emerald green dress that was a bit longer but also a little loser and more flowing. This one went down to her ankles. Ali picked up each one and held it in front of her while looking at herself in the mirror. The red one accented her hair while the green one seemed to bring out the color in her eyes more. That was it. Since she wore a red dress the last time she went out with Nathan Ali would wear the green one tonight. A pair of matching green shoes and hand bag went with the ensemble.
When she was done putting loose curls in her hair and putting on just a little make up she was ready. Ali left her room and walked down the stairs. She met up with Sam and the girl who...
..."You must be Leila. Hi I'm Ali. I like your outfit."
Ali extended her hand in a friendly manner to Leila.

OOC: Why don't I remember you wearing the red dress? It seems to me that I should.
IC: Nathan figured that he had plenty of time when he got back to his room. He in fact did have a few hours and decided to take a nap. But that nap was longer than the young man had intended. Nathan woke up with 15 minutes til 8.
Being hurried by the lack of time, Nathan quickly showered and threw on a pair of jeans and a green and white striped collared shirt. Nathan quickly grabbed his jacket before he turned off the lights and left the room.
Nathan made his way as quickly as he could to where the group was meeting. He made his appearence just as his watch changed to 8:01. "I'm here," he said. Nathan greeted Ali with a quick kiss on the cheek. "Ali, you look as beautiful as ever." Nathan turned to the others and asked, "Is everyone ready?"

One after another the people showed first Leila who he was the happiest seeing and greeted him with a nice kiss, which he returned ever so willingly. “I may look good but…” Sam let out a small wolf whistle as he stepped away from Leila, “but you look fantastic!” smiled Sam.
The next t show was Ali? He had never actually me her but she was there during the meeting of the X-Men and was there during the training course that Tricity had set up for them. Sam grinned, ‘Nathan and Ali? Things must get heated’ Sam snickered as he waved to Ali, “Didn’t know you and Nathan were on dating terms.” Then Sam quickly added, “No have…” Sam saw Nathan hurry over to them.
“Just wondering where you were,” Sam smiled as he opened the door asking, “Anyone care if I drive tonight?” Sam smiled as he pointed to the Limousine parked in the circular drive of the mansion, “Figured tonight was a bit special,” Sam smiled and held his arm up for Leila to grab as he started walking to the Limo. Sam had forgotten that he hired for one earlier that day.

Leila smiled at Sam's reaction to the way she had dressed. "Thanks," she said simply, watching as Nathan's girlfriend made her way towards the two, she wasn't half bad, Leila reconized her from somewhere too, but where was it again? Then Sam's comment confused her slightly. She looked from 'Ali' to Sam, then back to Ali.
"Yeah, and you must be Ali. I like you're outfit too." she grinned laughing slightly at the repetition. If everything continued to be this great, maybe Leila would have two new friends after tonight. Shaking Ali's hand, Leila watched as Nathan came along. He didn't look bad either, the four together made a pretty sexy group. Many Men and Women would be jealous, Leila knew it.
Leila had never experienced Sam's driving before, so she was a little exited as he offered to drive. Then her gaze locked on what they'd be driving in. "Wow." was all she could say. "You men can really....That's fabulous." she laughed slightly, awestruck. "Thanks," she kissed Sam again, but only quick enough so as not to make Nathan and Ali feel to awkward.
"But, isn't there already a Driver?" she added, pointing at the man sitting in the front seat. She couldn't help but smile shyly as the man winked at her.

With Sam's inquiry about the status between herself and Nathan Ali smiled.
"Yeah, we've been dating for a little while now."
Turning to Leila Ali continued her smile.
"Thank you."
When Nathan showed up shortly after Ali she smiled at his compliment and the kiss on her cheek. He looked him over and with a dramatic look of shock on her face she complimented him back.
"Thank you and you look even more handsome than you did earlier."
Sam offered to drive as they headed outside, but there sat a limo. Coupled with Leila's question Ali was confused as well. Why would he offer to drive a limo? Don't they come with a driver? She looked at Nathan but directed her question to Sam.

Nathan smiled because of the way that Ali had complimented him. She really knew how to make him smile.
As they walked ahead, Sam mentioned him driving. Nathan had already silently agreed because he wasn't sure how the dress that Ali had worned would fair while riding the motorcycle that he had acquired before returning to the Mansion. Being that it was his only mode of motor transportation. Not to mention how Ali would have felt about the situation.
Nathan was just about to speak when, the limo came into his vision. Certainly surprised, Nathan made a mental note to split the cost of the limo with Sam after the date. Nathan smoothly slipped his arm around Ali's as they begin there walk toward the limo.
The women had apparently paired up against Sam. Nathan felt like he needed to give his outnumbered friend a helping hand. "Oh, come on. Leave Sam alone. I'm sure this limo didn't bring itself here just by coincidence."

Sam smiled to Leila and Ali, “I am a good driver but me how would I be in two places at once?” asked Sam as he walked to the limo and opened the door for the three to enter.
Once everyone was in the Limo inside Sam entered and pulled the door shut finding his way over to Leila who he sat next to. Sam looked at his watch and then looked to the hole in the wall where the driver’s head was visible. “Directions are the same so the place I told you earlier…” the guy nodded and started to drive.
Looking slightly pleased Sam looked at his watch, ‘8:04…. We got plenty of time’ thought Sam as he looked to Leila then to Nathan and Ali. ‘I suck with small talk…’ thought Sam as he looked at his watch again.

Leila grinned at Sam, whatever the driving bit was all about, she had forgotten about it as they all climbed in. She listened as Sam told the Driver about the Directions, exitement and curiousity started boiling up inside of her. Where were they going? What would they do? It was probably a Dinner of some sort, but if it wasn't... Leila hadn,t eaten THAT much! She would get hungry before Midnight. Hmm, would they be going somewhere not fancy? They all looked dressy, Sam wouldn't of had dressed fancy if they'd be going somewhere... not fancy.
So many questions, but as she looked at Sam's watch, she saw the seconds tick by. "Um," she said, not knowing where to start with a conversation. Leila was good when it was one-on-one, but how would including the four of them work? "I'm really not that good at striking conversations you know." she said, looking at everyone. Personally, she wondered if the evening would pass by in this much silence.
She could always ask them about their Mutation? Wait, no that wasn't really polite. They were going on a Double Date, the last thing she wanted was to feel awkward around the two new friends she had made today. Asking about their Mutation was out of the question, she wanted a normal, as human as possible, night. "Should we just talk about the weather? Like every sucky small talk?" she asked finally, her humorous side showing a little now. Nerves and Curiousity were still the main part of her consience however.

Once everyone was in the car Sam spoke to who ever was in the driver seat. Obviously Sam knew where they were going, but did Nathan also know? Sitting next to Nathan Ali placed her hand on his in a small showing of her affection.
"So do you know where we're going also? Did you boys collaborate earlier today or something?"
Leila and Sam both admitted to not being good talkers. They did seem a little uncomfortable as they searched for a topic to discuss. Ali had no problems with talking to people. So she thought she'd get some back ground on the other pair.
Nathan climbed into the limo and promptly sat next to Ali. The destination that Sam had chosen for their limo ride was a mysery to Nathan. And he said as much when Ali asked him about it. "No, I'm afraid not. This is all Sam's doing. I have no idea where we're headed."
After answering the question, Nathan shifted for a more comfortable postition in his seat. He waited as Ali started to conversate with Sam and Liela. Nathan smiled because Ali's question made him think of the first time he met Ali. And of how good his life had been since that day.
