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.

He told the truth.
For some reason, that was a little poignant, and it made Riley feel more than a little bit silly. Why was she always so suspicious? Why did she always want to believe the worst, despite the fact that Aurum had repeatedly proven that he was one of the good guys?
Riley supposed it was something she would have to work on.
”A job offer sounds like good news.” she said evenly.
And Ami...
Of course it had been Ami. Riley had thought they’d gotten somewhere that day with the talk they’d had. Guess not.

More blinking. Then, an understanding look. She was jealous.
"You've got nothing to worry about," Aurum said softly. "Even if I take the job... and I'm still not sure what Viletta has in mind... it's over between us. And it'll stay that way. It's been a long time."
Pro-tip, people. 'A long time' is 5-6 years.
"Between her and you, it's no contest." He looked her in the eyes.

It had been a long time.
A long time since he’d seen her. A long time since they’d spent any time together. Probably a long time since he’d thought about how great they’d been together.
Riley believed wholeheartedly that Aurum meant what he said. At least for now. No contest, huh? That was worth a smile.
As for the rest. They’d have to wait and see.
”Well.” Riley said, ”The job is definitely worth looking into.” Hopefully her opinion had been wanted.

Oh good. Now she didn’t have to feel awkward about getting him something.
Riley winced, ”Yours is still at my place...” she said, refusing to elaborate.
”I hadn’t planned on staying the night.”
Her present, on the other hand, was sitting on top of Aurum’s chest of drawers...and it didn’t look like he was going to be the one getting up to get it.
So...
Up Riley got, completely unashamed of her lack of clothing. What was he going to see that he hadn’t already seen? Besides. She looked good, and knew it. The trip was short, but chilly, and when she got back to the bed, Riley snagged one of the blankets to wrap up in as she settled back down.
”Should I go ahead and open? Or do you want me to wait until you have yours?”
Sure, the second option made the previous trip useless..but Riley figured it was nice to ask.

Aurum didn’t seem to mind the fact that he’d have to wait for his present. In fact, he seemed awfully happy in general. Yeah. Forgoing the blanket on the trip to get the present had been a good idea.
Niceties out of the way, Riley unwrapped and opened the box to find...
Chocolates.
Mmmm. Just the smell was delicious, and the whole gift was so Aurum’s style. Simple, meaningful, and...Riley looked for labels or descriptors. A tag or a barcode.
There was none. Taking one from the packaging Riley took a bite.
Oh dear God. They were delicious.
”Did you make these?” she asked, though she already knew the answer.

”As if you even need to ask.” Riley said, trying not to talk with her mouth full, but feeling the need to praise the maker of the present.
”This is the first present I’ve gotten in years.” She said, casting a grin in Aurum’s general direction before leaning over to give him a quick kiss in thanks.
