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’s question brought a smile to her face. Was she a coffee drinker? Damn, she couldn’t see the day start without a hot cup of coffee in front of her. Biting her lower lip, Alexandra gave a slight nod of approval. “Yeah. I think I may be addicted.” she replied as she was being pulled toward the coffee shop. “And, occasionally I’m a smoker too.” she added with a small shrug. She had met all kinds of people, some that disapproved this vice, some that didn’t care. Perhaps Sam was one of the latest, but she felt like telling him. She had enough lies already to hide things that meant so little.
Entering, the aroma that filled the air made her close her eyes for a few moments and inhale deeply. This would have been the third coffee of the day, but having most of the time occupied, her energy was depleting fast, coffee and energizer drinks becoming an important source of it. Opening her eyes as Sam was guiding her to get into line; Alexandra smiled as his grip tightened. It was funny, but for a few moments she felt like she was safe, like she could let her guard down and let someone else take care of her. Mind quickly reacted to this feeling and forced it back but the sweet remembrance of it lingered in her mind.
Another question from Sam and Alexandra was pulled out of her thoughts. Mentally kicking herself for being so silent, she looked around for a brief second. She was well aware of what she was going to take, it was always the same and it never changed. “Black coffee.” she replied as the blue of her eyes focused on Sam. Another smile appeared on her face. Man, she didn’t know what was happening with her but she couldn’t wipe out the smiling off her face.

Coffee was one thing but when she mentioned she was a smoker on occasion his stomach gave a small lurch, he hated smoking it was in his mind one of the most unappealing addictions anyone could have, he often thought of it up there with narcotics and the like. Why would anyone slowly kill himself or herself? Why would anyone spend five dollars on a pack of smokes? Things like this didn’t make sense to him, but it was weird as gross as he thought smoking was he took one look at Alex and he didn’t care. It was like all she had to do was smile and she could get away with murder. It unnerved and excited him at the same time, he didn’t know how to explain it but he liked it.
As she gave him her order Sam nodded as he fumbled through his wallet one handed the picture of him and his younger brother Dom smiled back at him as both brothers had a smile on their faces. Seeing the picture so many times Sam hardly gave it much attention as he pulled out a five and approached the woman working the register, ”Hey Kelly,” Sam aid with a smile as he handed her the five dollar bill, ”Two of the usual,” with a smile and a nod the woman who usually took his orders handed him to large coffees.
Taking the change and putting it into his wallet and back into his pocket Sam pulled his hand free from Alex’s hand as he grabbed both their coffees with a smile and a small nod over to one of the tables that was vacant. As he reached the table he set Alex’s drink down and sitting opposite her on the small table he sat down and waited for Alex, ”You seem extremely happy for some reason,” he teased a bit as he pointed to his own lips, ”You haven’t stopped smiling since the music shop.”
Her fingertips slightly tapped against her leg as she waited for Sam to order their drinks. With a half absent look on her face, her eyes shifted around the room, for a few moments, her mind being focused on the intricate designs on a painting hung on the wall behind the bar.
Blue eyes danced with the vibrant colors as she tried to follow the smooth lines of the painting only to find herself lost in the painted maze. Until Sam had the coffees in his hands and gestured her toward an empty table.
Alexandra answered Sam’s smile with one of her own, a wider, brighter one and followed him to the table. The feeling from the music shop returned, and once again she felt like she was hovering over the floor instead of walking.
Sam’s voice broke trough her thoughts and his comment made her smile. Alexandra placed her hands on the table, and still standing up, she leaned toward Sam until their faces were mere inches away from eachother.
Her lips went straight, and her expression turned serious. Only blue eyes sparkled with joy, giving away her emotions. Alexandra licked her lips as she scanned Sam’s face for a moment. “You know Sam… I’m afraid I have to blame you for this.” Her body moved again, leaning toward Sam more, until their lips touched.
Alexandra let the touch last only for a second… her body retreating, as she assumed a straight position before finally taking a seat. Her head tilted to the side as her body relaxed in the chair. Blue eyes watched Sam with the same joy, as the corner of her lips rose to form another smile.

Lips touching his in a soft embrace a blink and then it was over, watching Alex pull he lips away Sam grinned slightly as one of his hands shot out and clung to hers on the table while the other rested near the coffee ready to grab the hot drink if he so chose but the weird thing was he wasn’t even thirsty a fact that he found odd seeing as for a while both he and Alex have been locking lips whenever they could. Past experience told him that even if he didn’t want to partake in a beverage he should anyways. So reluctantly he took his gaze off of Alex and lifted the hot cup with one hand and blew on it steam erupting from the black concoction as it cooled instantly with a quick sip of the drink Sam set it back down and stared at her.
“Blame me for what? The coffee?” Sam asked absent-mindedly as his hand, which held on to Alex’s twitched as a finger and his thumb started to rub against hers. “Or is it you want to blame me for dragging you out on a day like today just so you can spend the entire day with me?” he smiled, “Cause if so shouldn’t you be thanking me? Is that why you’re blaming me for the smile on your face.” Sam pursed his lips slightly as he looked at her making a kissy face followed by a small smooching sound. She said it was his fault she never said what she was blaming him for.
“You know,” said Sam as he took a sip of his now lukewarm coffee, “Even when you try to be serious your still cute as a button…” he paused looking somewhat confused, “Did I just say that? Cute as a button?” even if he wasn’t to keen on the terminology he used to describe Alex he guessed it would still cover what he thought about her when she tried to be serious, “Though I have to say, seeing your smile puts one on my face…”
Alexandra let herself laugh slightly as she placed her elbows on the table. One went up to support her head while the other draw an imaginary circle on her coffee cup. The laugh turned into a smile as she eyed Sam. “I blame you for being so happy…” she replied with a wink. “And I hope you’re at least half as happy I am.”
Withdrawing her hands from the table she leaned on the chair, her head tilting to the side. “Cute as a button. Hmm…” She pursed her lips, once again, pretending to put a serious face on. The serious face didn’t last long, it faded away in a few seconds, being replaced by a smile. “If I bring a smile on your face I think I’ll try to smile more often.”
Blue eyes drifted away to her surroundings, and the people in the coffee shop, people that were totally unaware of her stare. Some were alone, absorbed by the papers in their hands, some were chatting with their friends, some were cuddling with their lovers. Alexandra returned her stare to Sam. “Didn’t think that this day I won’t drink my coffee alone. It certainly proves that life surprises you when you least expect it. ”
