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.

Well. Kealey had asked for the proverbial ball, and now it was in her court. Completely in her court. Where had a sports analogy come from? Kealey didn’t know, but Shin had only been the slightest bit put-out by her suggestion that he cut down his schedule a little bit. Apparently it was a reasonable suggestion.
Heh. A snugglevention, that really was a good word for what was happening. This wasn’t as aggressive as an intervention…but it was what it was. She stopped ruffling his hair and simply moved her fingers through it.
”Well. School should definitely come first…at least if that’s something you’re still committed to.” she said softly.
”I’ve been helping out with the Mansion Greeting where I could…but maybe you could start working on someone else to pick up that mantle? We’ve got lots of qualified new residents….” she continued.
”As far as everything else…” Kealey shrugged, ”You really like working at the Full Circle…and the X-Men stuff is a given…”
She paused, ”Its just all about finding a balance.”

>> ”Well. School should definitely come first…at least if that’s something you’re still committed to.”
"It is," he nodded. Her hand moved up and down like a bronco rider on his head.
And as for the greeters... "I could do that, too..." Shin agreed quietly.
Regarding everything else... "Full Circle does work with my schedule for me..." The X-men stuff was a given. It wasn't too straining. But then, there were other things... like training, both physical and mental, dog care, and so on and so forth... Shin supposed the one thing that was tipping him over the edge was the greeting, though. Aside from that... aside from that, everything was actually easy.
Kealey was forgetting something. A small smile slipped onto Shin's face. "You forgot the most important thing," He said, thankful and feeling a whole lot better about this.

Kealey nodded her head when Shin said he was still committed to school. She was glad, Shin was good at school, and she thought he should stick with it.
He was also receptive to her comments about mansion greeting. Shin was great at it, and Kealey couldn’t think of anyone better for new students to meet when they came to the Mansion. It was just that…maybe there were more important things for him to be doing.
Kealey was glad she hadn’t suggested that he cut back at the Full Circle, they really did work his schedule…and Ghosty was his boss. That’s where Kealey had met him too…and Aurum worked there…yeah, there were lots of good things about the Full Circle. If Shin thought he could handle it, Kealey would bow to his better judgment.
He seemed content with the idea, and Kealey smiled back when he smiled. Apparently she was forgetting something though…
She frowned slightly as she thought, ”I got the Full Circle, and Mansion Greeting, your classes at NYU…your X-Men duties include training and all of that…what could I be forgetting?”

"You," Shin said. He ducked under her hand and around her arm to pounce-tackle her in a kiss. Plushies fell by the wayside. Some rolled to the floor. The Shin plushie was one of them, flipping end over end to plop face-down on the ground, atop a fashionably-dressed Kealey plushie.
She was right. He'd cut back on the greeting. Once he got the opportunity, he'd have to speak with Sam about it. They could select a new greeter, maybe even a better greeter? He'd focus on his studies, on his training, his duties as an X-man, and Full Circle. He'd focus on ALL these things... later. For now, Kealey-time came first. It was the most important thing, after all. How could Kealey have forgotten? It was all about her.

Kealey gave a half-hearted little squeak when Shin pounce-tackled her and laughed as she returned the kiss. Well yeah…she hadn’t mentioned herself. Then again, Shin hadn’t ever had any trouble finding time to spend with her. This was nice though…and Kealey would never complain if there was more.
Kissing…and snuggling….two things that Kealey really did adore…and probably would have kept right on doing for quite some time. If her tummy hadn’t started to grumble. Oh yeah…Shin’s had done that earlier too, hadn’t it?
The cake was definitely still sitting on the desk…and if it was wrong to eat cake for breakfast then they’d just be doing something wrong. The bed was warm and cozy…Shin was warm and cozy…but the cake was chocolate.
”So…about that cake?”
Shin nodded, turning to glance towards the cake in the distance. He focused for a couple seconds. Before they knew it, cake was floating towards them, balanced neatly on two shard "plates". The edges were rounded, a simple affair. They wouldn't want anything to interfere with the cake, would they? No way.
