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.

Kealey couldn’t laugh, not quite yet, but the good humor radiating from Shin as he accepted her apology kind of made everything better. At least for the moment. Kealey counted herself lucky for getting off so easy. Using her powers out of hand and without permission, as intensely as she had, was something she would have had trouble forgiving herself for. Shin letting her off the hook made things a little easier. As did his optimism, something else he’d said made Kealey tilt her head and frown a little.
”When did you have to survive a gun shot?” she asked, wondering if it was in Romania…apparently a lot had happened there. Kealey remembered at least some of what Shin had said about that in the bar. That’s when she’d found out he was an X-Man….a super hero.
She was still looking at the television, when Shin said that he was going to protect her…that he’d protect her no matter what. It was something that Kealey had heard before, but somehow it felt different coming from Shin. Maybe it was that she could feel the earnestness and surety behind the words…and that she’d never, ever known Shin to say something that wasn’t true. It meant a lot.
”Thank you.” she said again, ”Maybe one day I won’t need so much protecting. It‘s just that…I can‘t really do anything useful like you can.”
That comment brought something to mind, and Kealey’s eyes widened slightly as she stared at Shin, ”We flew here, didn’t we?”

>>”When did you have to survive a gun shot?”
"A long time ago," Shin stated. "Almost three years. It was when my power first activated."
Megara shifted her attention to Shin as he spoke.
"I stopped the bullet with my shards. That's when I knew I was special. That I could protect..." He continued, telling her how he'd protect her.
Kealey thanked him. Shin nodded. "Maybe one day," He agreed. "Hey... weren't you asking me about training you in self defense?" He seemed to remember something along those lines... or maybe, he'd been drunk. "And if I remember correctly, aren't you making those costumes for Sam and the others? That's useful." So, see? There were plenty of useful things Kealey had to offer.
>>”We flew here, didn’t we?”
But none of them were that. "Er, yeah." Shin replied sheepishly.
Megara's eyebrow rose.
"You certainly couldn't do that last time... you must have been training since the last time you competed... speaking of, you never did get back to about that..." She held her chin.
Shin frowned. "I don't think I'll be doing that anymore, Meg. Sorry.

Kealey listened closely as Shin spoke, explaining that his shards had stopped bullets. Now that was a useful power…protecting people…stopping bullets. Something else about that was interesting though, Shin’s powers had manifested to protect him from a bullet? It had been three years ago? Kealey frowned, her powers had emerged far earlier than that. Kealey almost said something, then shook her head slightly. It could be saved for later…Shin had already moved on, talking about an idea they’d first conceived after too much alcohol. The funny thing was, it still seemed like a good idea completely sober…no, it seemed like a great idea.
”Would you really?” she said, eyes lighting up slightly at the that prospect of someone taking her on that way. Not just offering to fight her fights for her, but actually teaching her to take care of it herself. ”Yes! Let’s do it! I’m a fast learner.”
Kealey leaned back a little into the cushions of the couch, the rest of Shin’s comments about her work on the costumes pushed aside. Those things weren’t really all that useful…anyone could sew. Shin admitted that they’d flown and Kealey’s eyebrow rose…Shin could fly. That was kind of incredible.
Megara commented that he hadn’t been able to do that the last time he’d…competed….and that he’d failed to get back to her about something….something that Shin apparently didn’t do anymore. His emotions marked that as a serious subject, something he probably didn’t want to talk about. As usual, though, Kealey’s curiosity got the better of her and she swung her head first to the dark haired woman, then back to Shin as Megara commented that it was his loss that he didn’t compete anymore.
”What did you compete at?” the blond asked, head tilting to the side, ”And why would anyone shoot at you Shin? Were you saving someone else? ”

>>”Would you really?”
Shin nodded.
It was decided, then. After this was all wrapped up, he'd teach Kealey to defend herself. It was a fabulous idea. Shin felt good about it. The fact he still wasn't fully confident in his own teaching skills... didn't come to mind.
Noting from the raised eyebrow, Kealey was either 'impressed', or 'quizzical' about the 'flying thing'. Shin hoped for impressed. Impressed was good. Impressed, he liked.
What he didn't like, however, was Megara's kibitzing on his past.
>>”What did you compete at?”
Kealey asked one of the two questions he really didn't want to answer now. Then, she followed it up with the other.
"Err..." Shin bit his lip, and looked to Megara.
Megara crossed her arms and stared back. "Explain yourself," She smirked. She certainly wasn't going to explain it for him.
Shin smiled weakly at Kealey. "My emotions probably give me away, huh? This is kind of a tricky topic..." He didn't want to go into too much depth, and scare her away. His past hadn't always been X's and heroics. "Promise you'll keep an open mind?"

Shin was pleased with the arrangement for self-defense lessons, and therefore Kealey was doubly pleased with the arrangement for self-defense lessons. It was a strange set of emotions to contend with in the aftermath of such a dire situation, but it was a distraction from the things playing out on the television and in the water outside. It helped, it really did.
Curiosity on Kealey’s part was met by heady reluctance on Shin’s. The blond almost spoke out to let her friend know he didn’t have to tell her if he didn’t want to, but Megara spoke and it appeared that Shin didn’t have any choice in the matter. Kealey studied the other woman again, why was she so smug about the whole thing?
Blue eyes turned back to Shin and Kealey’s head tilted slightly to the side, her puzzlement clear as he listened to Shin start to speak. What could possibly be in his past that would be so difficult to talk about? Kealey had her own ghosts that she hated to speak about, but surely that was a slightly different situation.
He wanted her to keep an open mind? Kealey frowned, Shin really was concerned, that meant she was concerned too. Kealey’s concern veered towards Shin, and she worried that he was telling her something he really didn’t want to. She looked closer at him, there really wasn’t anything to indicate that and she slowly nodded her head, ”You’re not the only one with skeletons in your closet Shin…my mind is open as a book.” This was Shin, after all, he’d come for her when Roland had stuffed her in a bag. Whatever this thing he didn’t want to talk about was…it couldn’t be that bad…could it?

He'd gotten himself into the situation. It was up to Shin to get himself out of it.
Shin bowed his head as she spoke to him. He hoped she'd understand. Maybe he was being too dramatic about it? This was Kealey, after all. She'd handled Romania and the 'X-man' thing okay. Shin looked up at her, and came clean. "I used to fight for a living. Boxing, underground fighting rings. That ended when I won against someone who was a sore loser. He shot at me. And that's when my power kicked in... the bullet left the barrel, and the world around me exploded in a shattered reflection. The next thing I knew, the bullet was on the ground... and so was I. I couldn't fight after that," He looked to Megara.
She shook her head.
"Well... I tried underground mutant cage fighting..." Shin trailed. He shook his head. "I'm not proud of it. After my fight with Bacchus, I ended that... those fights were brutal... usually, they ended with the winner taking out the loser... I never did, but..." He looked down. "Bacchus did. I settled for ending the fight by cutting off his arm..."
Megara held her chin. "So that's why you quit..."
Shin looked up at her. "Yeah." He stated. It had to be obvious he wasn't cut out for that.

It was admittedly a strange time for revelations about Shin’s past. Then again…it really wasn’t. A lot had happened over the last few hours, and Kealey’s brows drew together at all the things Shin was feeling while he put together what he was going to tell her about his past.
The words came and Kealey digested them. Shin…a boxer? That seemed so strange to Kealey. Shin? Who had been so lost when they’d been at the bar, so guilty over breaking up with his girlfriend. Shin had been an underground fighter? This revelation was much more difficult to swallow than him being an X-Man.
Shin continued, and Kealey just stared at him, listening as he described the other type of fighting he’d gotten involved in. He said he wasn’t proud of it, but Kealey hadn’t needed to hear the words to know that they were true. Empathy had its benefits sometimes, and the thoughtful expression Kealey had adopted as she listened changed to a mask of complete sympathy as he explained what had happened to make him stop. Shin was not a violent person, Kealey knew that as well as she knew that he was one of the good guys. He’d been worried what she would think
”I’m so sorry…you had to go through that.” she said, reaching out to pat Shin on the shoulder, a small, but optimistic smile curving her lips, ”At least we both know you’ll know what you’re talking about when you’re teaching me to fight.” she added.
It was a weak attempt at a joke, and Kealey knew it. She studied Shin for a few moments, then shrugged her shoulders, ”Sometimes life is rough, Shin, and we all do what we have to in order to get by. It’s all part of the bigger picture…If you’d never been shot out…you might never have ended up doing the things that got you hired at the Full Circle…then you’d have never made that Blue Badger…so, in a weird way, these things in your past are good.” Except maybe the fact that he’d cut off someone’s arm…that was kind of rough…but Kealey decided it wasn’t her place to judge, especially not Shin.
He’d just told her so much. Kealey knew how hard it had been from his feelings and she felt like she needed to give something back. Cheeks pinking slightly, she averted her eyes from Shin’s face and studied the leather of the couch, drawing circles around one of the decorative buttons with a finger before speaking, ”It’s okay…it really is. We all have strange secrets in our past.” she paused and looked up, cheeks even darker, ”I was almost a nun.”

When he'd started, Shin hadn't known what to say. He'd thought that, as he went, it'd come to him, and somehow, he'd find a better way of describing his past. He didn't. Nothing came to him. It was a lousy explanation... who could possibly have gotten understanding from that?
... But as Kealey spoke, responding to his weak history lesson, something finally came to him. It was just a thought, a passing want. She seemed to understand him, or at least what he'd been through... he wanted to hug her.
It was just fleeting, though. A silly compulsion. Nothing to bother with, right?
He went with it, returning her hug from earlier. He raised her a glomp.
"You're the best, Kealey," he smiled. A moment later, his mind locked onto the last thing she'd said, and blanked with a vengeance. Nun-Kealey. "Wait. What?"
Megara raised an eyebrow, and vanished into another room. These two needed 'alone-time'... or 'straitjackets'. Either, or.

Shin was a strange bundle of emotions in Kealey’s head, which caused her to be a slightly strange bundle of emotions. He was slightly worried about something, still a little serious, and now he was glad. Kealey had to guess at the reasoning behind all those emotions, but the easiest by far was the glad one. He’d been worried she wouldn’t accept what had been in his past. Suddenly, Kealey felt a little warm and fuzzy inside, for a couple of reasons. First, Shin was worried enough about what she thought that he’d been worried about her reaction to his past. Second, he’d told her anyway. When the glomp came, Kealey squeaked a little in surprise, then returned it enthusiastically.
The best? Kealey tilted her head slightly to the side, and shrugged her shoulders, pushing a curl of hair back and wincing a bit at the contact with the side of her face. ”Thanks Shin...It‘s just the truth, though. You’re the best kind of people, and people like you make good decisions, right decisions. ”
Curiosity filtered in after the hug, and Kealey winced slightly when Shin expressed the curiosity over her revelation about being a nun. More hair got pushed back, cheeks pinked up, and eye contact was avoided. Kealey nodded, then spoke, ”Before I came here…back in Ireland. I spent a long time in a convent, I figured I’d always be there.” There was more to the story, a lot more, but it was just too much to talk about right now. After everything that had happened. If Shin wanted to know, or asked, she’d tell him. It was the least she could do after everything he’d done for her, but for now…Kealey’s past stayed in the past. Her eyes flicked to his, ”Can you believe it? Habit and all.”
At some point, Megara had left, and Kealey looked around the room and frowned slightly. ”Is she coming back?” she asked, then turned back to Shin, ”Now what?”

For some reason, he couldn't picture it. Kealey and the nun's signature habit seemed like two nouns that didn't deserve to be in the same room together, let alone the same sentence. Not that Kealey wouldn't have looked fine in a habit, but it seemed foreign.... unrelated. Like peanut butter and cashmere sweaters, or gummi bears and napalm. He was intrigued how they could coexist in the same time line.
"It's hard to believe," Shin replied.
There was definitely something there, in that past. Something he didn't know, but for the moment, Shin's emotions weren't locked on digging. He was curious, and it was obvious, but... after the relief he'd felt from her not judging him negatively for his past, and the happiness... and all the stress he'd felt from the day ebbing away, all Shin really wanted to do right now was sit on the couch with Kealey, and relax. They needed to come down from the adrenaline high that was Roland, and they needed... something happy. They didn't need the news. But what was happy...?
>> ”Is she coming back?”
Kealey asked him. "I dunno," He replied, without making a big deal out of it. "It's her skyscraper. She knows where to find us, if she wants her couch back." As for what they'd do... "Well," Shin began casually, a bit of his tiredness slipping into his voice. "We could fly back to the mansion, and I could get you a room... or..."
He got up and switched the channel on the remote, from news to video feed. He walked over to the glass case next to the big television, and opened it. There was an assortment of DVDs in Megara's collection. Shin looked them over. "I guess we could stay here, and watch some movies... Happy Feet." Shin held one up for her. "Have you seen it?" Is sounded happy. Just what they needed.

Shin was frankly baffled by her revelation and Kealey’s cheeks flushed even darker as he pointed out that yes, it was difficult to believe she’d ever been a nun. ”I was pretty terrible at it.” she said softly, ”Maybe that’s why the sent me here. They probably had a merry laugh of the whole thing, me gallivanting off like I was on some mission from the Almighty Himself. They were probably just thrilled to be rid of me. A decade of my problems is probably more than anyone could bear.”
It was relatively quiet in the room, especially now that Megara had gone, and Kealey felt herself starting to involuntarily relax. The tension in her arms and legs, which she’d curled around herself as she sat on the couch, started to unwind, as did the related limbs. Maybe that had something to do with Shin, too, he was relaxing and relatively content. Tired, though…Kealey could tell, even if she couldn’t feel the more physical side of emotions…weariness and mental exhaustion took their toll as harshly as the physical side. Sometimes more.
He didn’t know if Megara was coming back and didn’t seem to think anything of it, so Kealey just nodded with a slight shrug of her shoulders, watching Shin’s progress as he moved across the room. He’d mentioned going to the Mansion and getting her a room. When had they decided that? Kealey opened her mouth to say something, then shut it. Thinking about going into her apartment, or staying there alone, brought back the stark terror of the previous hours. The Mansion really was the safest place. At least for now. Shin stopped at the TV, a blue DVD screen replacing the news coverage of the Ferry disaster, then proceeded to root around in the DVD’s that presumably belonged to Megara. Apparently they knew each other well.
Shin held out a movie, one that Kealey hadn’t even heard of, and suggested that they watch it instead of heading for the mansion. The emotional memory of Shin’s tired state was fresh in Kealey’s mind and another thought occurred to her. The reason she’d never really considered staying there before. It was going to happen, tonight, but there was no reason to bring all of that down on herself any sooner than was necessary.
Kealey shook her head, ”I haven’t seen it.” she said, "Besides…there are so many people at the mansion…I’m not sure I’m in any condition to deal with all of that right this second. My head kind of hurts. You said it’s called happy feet? ”

>> ”I was pretty terrible at it.”
Kealey stated. Shin looked at her. As she continued, he shook his head.
“Aww, don’t say that,” He gave her his offhand reply. “If it wasn’t for you, I’m sure they’re happy you’ve found something that is.” Fashion. She didn’t need to put herself down about not being a nun. He was certain nuns weren’t the type to happily rid themselves of good people, either. “You’re a good person, Kealey.” Shin stated quietly as looked down at the DVD in his hand. He looked up at her with a light smile. “Don’t forget it.”
It was true. Both of them seemed to have this silly habit of blaming themselves for things. He’d learned, though. It wasn’t fair to shoulder all the blame. His friends could help him deal with it. Sometimes, you couldn’t accomplish the same revelations about yourself alone that you could with company. Kealey herself had helped him understand that. He needed to return the favor.
Shin nodded quietly in understanding at her words. That was also true. Dealing with so many people so soon after all that… it’d be hard. That was one of the reasons he’d taken her here. There were less people. Shin thought it’d somehow help.
“Yup. Happy Feet,” Shin replied. He walked back over to the couch, and sat down. Shin held out the box for Kealey. “Sounds happy,” A slight smirk slipped onto his lips. A thought struck Shin. “Say. I wonder… do you think she has any popcorn sitting around?” He leaned forward, and picked up his mug of not-so-hot-cocoa. Shin nursed it as he sat.

Kealey shrugged her shoulder and chuckled, ”That might be a slight exaggeration. If they knew the sorts of things I’d gotten myself into since coming here, they’d probably have me saying Hail Mary’s until I was blue in the face.” she pointed out, but listened to Shin as he spoke. He told her she was a good person, and again his belief in the truth of his words shone strongly through. Kealey couldn’t help the smile that stretched across her features. ”Thanks.”
Happy Feet. Shin held out the box as he sat down, and Kealey took it from his hands, studying the cover. Animated penguins. It really did look like a happy-type movie. Shin smirked and Kealey laughed out loud, ”It does look happy, doesn’t it? Let‘s watch it.” It was settled, they were going to watch movies in Megara’s skyscraper instead of flying….flying back to the mansion.
Apparently they were going to go all out as far as the movie thing was concerned, and Shin asked if Kealey thought Megara had any popcorn around. She turned, eyes scanning the room for signs of something that could be used to either conceal or produce popcorn. ”I’m not sure…” she said ”But I sure hope so.”
Kealey thought for a moment, her face growing more serious as she thought, ”Shin?” she asked, after a moment, ”Can we still fly back to the mansion? I’m kind of sad I missed that earlier.”

And so, the search began. Shin lifted a lamp. The popcorn wasn't under the lamp. He looked towards the doorway. Hmm... maybe it was in a kitchen several floors below... That would make far more sense than under a lamp. Shin lifted the lamp again, just to be certain.
"Nope." He shook his head. "The popcorn isn't here."
His eyes drifted across the room, to another doorway. It was a mysterious doorway. Underneath it, a line of light seemed to glow, like faint radiation. Shin felt compelled to explore...
Kealey's question pulled him back.
>>”Shin?”
"Yeah?"
>>”Can we still fly back to the mansion? I’m kind of sad I missed that earlier.”
"Yeah," Shin smiled. "Yeah, we can totally do that. Now hold on a second while I go explore that strange glowing door..."

Shin lifted the lamp to look for popcorn and Kealey suddenly came down with a serious case of the giggles. Of course the popcorn wasn’t underneath something as silly as the lamp. Kealey had to wonder if this was more for her benefit, or for his, as Shin checked beneath the lighting implement again. It didn’t matter, her brain was just geeked out enough from the events of the day that the actions taken by her companion were absolutely hilarious.
”Well, since we’ve checked all the obvious places…” Kealey said, still looking around for somewhere popcorn could be concealed. ”I guess we’re going to have to try something a little less conspicuous…like a kitchen?”
Shin agreed that they could fly to the mansion and Kealey’s face split into a grin. Not only would it keep them up high enough that nobody would be able to bother her, but she’d get to fly. ”That’s still amazing…that you can fly. I don’t think I’d spend a minute on the ground if I found out I could do something like that.” she mused, but Shin was already skittering off to explore a doorway.
When he left her alone, Kealey fought off a moment of panic before she was able to pull herself together. A hand went into blond hair and Kealey sighed. Her own emotions were swinging wildly and it was going to catch up with her eventually. For now, though, she figured she’d take popcorn, movies, and comfort where it was offered and not complain. It would help when Shin came back…his emotions had steadied out.
While he was gone, Kealey decided to be helpful. Rising from the couch, she made her way to the DVD player that was situated beneath the TV and got it set up to play the movie. Boy, those penguins really were cute. Glancing over her shoulder and at the door Shin had disappeared through, Kealey wondered if he'd had any luck with the popcorn…
