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.

Koga had spent the afternoon with Katrina looking at the Jet and enjoying each others company, it was good to be back among the living it was better to be back among family. and now that he had finally parted ways with the girl of his dreams. He decided that it was time to grab a snack and then locate someone he considered to be an older brother? A best friend? both. Next he would find Shinbo and then he would try to locate Sam. but first He was going to eat warm fake food for the first time in over a year, for the last year he had supped only on what he could catch in the mountainous area his grand father called home.
He basked in the simple glory that was opening the freezer, finding something packaged opening it and throwing it in the microwave. Oh there was something special about hunting your own food, skinning it, preparing it and cooking it, but that something special didn't compare to the lack of effort it took to heat up a microwavable french bread pizza.
He sat on a stool and plopped his plate down in front of himself and didn't even let the thing cool, huffing and puffing as he devoured the radiated meal. He was surprised at how happy he was to be back, He liked living with his grandfather, the simplicity of life on a mountain suited him in some ways, but It just wasn't home.
With a yawn, she stretched her arms out behind her back.
There was something amazing about stretching. Something that made the whole world a bit better a place. She didn't know what it was. It probably had something to do with nefarious evil government plans and aliens. Whatever.
Man, she was hungry. She could really go for something. School lunch had been gross. She'd skipped it. And now, she was paying the price.
What did the mansion have to eat?
Amelia slipped into the kitchen. Maybe she'd find something if she poked around?
She found a cute lizard boy.
"Wut." She blinked. Was he eating pizza? Damn that sounded good. "Damn you." She sighed jealously, sinking in to a chair.
Koga looked up at the girl before him, and raised a hand over his mouth so she couldn’t ee in his mouth as he chewed his piping hot pizza. He rose a bright orange eyebrow on a bright blue face, his orange hair matched his brows.
He laughed after he swallowed. He hopped out of his chair opened the cupboard sat down a plate on the counter went to the fridge. “The ssupreme iss good. But there iss cheesse, pepperoni and sausage too.” He looked over his shoulder and waited for the response. After which he put the pizza of choice on the plate and microwaved it for the correct amount of time, which in spite of what the box said was once all the cheese melted and not a second more.
He turned after the food was done and sat the plate down on the table. “Ryuichi Koga, quite the greeting you have there.”
Their eyebrows dueled for whose could get highest on their faces. He was winning. If only because it was kind of hard to focus on arching an eyebrow when your competition's eyebrows were orange.
Would this be a staring contest? Nope. The kid laughed.
Huh? Had she said something funny? She was just jealous of the food... not like there was a joke there. And then, he went to the fridge.
For a second, she thought he was going to be an ass and make himself another pizza. Right there in front of her. She suddenly got the urge to be grumpy. Thank goodness he saved himself by being a gentleman. She picked up on what he was doing.
"I like supreme." She said. Onions and peppers were good.
She was suddenly very grateful she'd stumbled onto him. And not pounced him and stolen his pizza at point blank.
Waiting on the pizza to finish its nuking was arduous. A painstaking process of persistent patience.
The plate clacked lightly as the lizardboy set it down on the table in front of her.
Amelia snagged it up off the plate greedily.
"Ameria Merritus," she said through heavy bite-fulls. Talking while chewing was impolite and unladylike. But she was hungry, so forget society's judgmental labels. She took a break to stop chewing and breath. "Thanks." She said. She set the pizza down on the plate for a second. "I had to skip lunch."
"No problem. I can relate to staying busy around here." He said after he swallowed. She wasn't quite as careful with her manners, but he had noticed that it was something that just kind of happened around the school, bunch of kids no parents keeping them in line, if that was her worst habit she was ahead of the game.
"Nice to meet you Ameria." He said as finished his food and wiped at his mouth.He had time to observe the girl, he made a point not to stare but he looked at her from time to time, Ameria had an interesting look to her, he would guess she was the type attracted to mischief. good fashion sense...probably likes Indie music.that was a guess but he felt a good one.
He wondered what she could do...that was something intuition couldn't guess at.
"Amelia, actually" She said. Damn, that pizza had been good. Totally mangled her words because of its goodness. "Guess I shouldn't talk with my mouth full."
So... what was this kid's name again? She was fairly certain he'd said it earlier, when she'd been distracted by the crippling hunger. Itchy-something? Something about cogs? Had it sounded Steam-Punk? Or, wait. No. She was fairly certain it had reminded her of some name of some character from some show either Shin or Kealey (or both of them) had ranted about at some point in the library, or at the book store. Something about whoooores...? No. Wait. Horrors. That seemed more likely. Something about horrors.
Oh yeah. Kouga. That was it.
"The pizza isn't bad," she commented, picking up her slice again. Sadly for her, it was nearly half-gone.
Koga shrugged "Amelia, I like it, and talk with your mouth full all ya like, though you do rissk name butchery."
She made faces when she thought things, funny faces, like she was watching something outrageous in her head. He wondered momentarily what was going on in there. He hopped up so he didn't over observe and become a creepy kid across the table. he went to the fridge and snagged a purple Gatorade and a root beer, he set them in the middle of the table and offered her the choice of which one she preferred.
"It'ss definately good for microwave, it has those sshiny box things that help it not be ssoggy." he then furrowed his brow at the glass of the bottle. " You wouldn't happen to know if a guy named Sshinbo iss sstill around here would ya?" He knew he was, but didn't have a better way to ask.
Koga respected her choice..in fact he snagged the other drink and replaced and got a root beer too. The root beer was almost a confirmation on being eclectic music wise, or so his over analyzing brain tried to tell him.
"Really? neat. I've been gone for a long time, over a year? I got in earlier today and wanted to ssay hi and let him know I wass alright and what not. Thingss got complicated, but yeah., now I'm back. He'ss like an older brother to me." He tilted his head and looked over her features. " Would I know your brother?"
Koga popped the top on his own root beer and took a drink. why were all mutant girls cute? not that Katrina wasn't still fresh on the brain, but so was the fact that she and Slate were more serious then she was letting on, or he thought so anyhow. Honestly, though pretty girls, everywhere?
A year, huh? That was a long time. So, him and Shin were buddies? Hm. Made sense. Both Asian. Both good-looking. Hell, give them a few more and they could be in a music group together, shaking their money makers up on stage.
She had never asked if Shin had been in a boy band before.
Note to self:
She finished another sip, and answered him. "Do you know Aurum? Good with coffee. Attracts women like honey attracts flies."
Koga laughed. " Can't ssay I've met him, I'm betting, I'd remember the coffee, at the very leasst I would remember the name, if not the Honey effect he had on the ladiess. But yeah, He Sshinbo iss my next sstop on the 'guesss what I am ssafe and alive' tour."
Saying it made him feel bad that he hadn't at least sent a post card back or something saying he was alive after the whole kidnapped situation was over...he just felt so, powerless, emasculated and weak.
He straitened and smiled again finishing off his can of root beer. He forced a belch to stop, it was uncomfortable, but he would not be rude infront of a lady, paticularly one he had just met.
Somehow, the sssstutter wasn't weird or annoying. It was actually kind of cute. Fascinating.
That pizza and soda had really gone away too soon. As he finished, she noted her lack of remaining snacks. But at least she was full.
"He isn't around the mansion all that much, these days. Usually only when he hangs around for X-men stuff, like training, or bothering Kealey. I bugged him about it. Apparently, he's taking up a career in law enforcement." She paused, and dug in her pocket. The hand came out with a cellphone. "Might be able to reach him and let him know you're asking around. Want me to?" She asked.
Her eyes came up from the cellphone numbers to look at the man.
He watched the girl watch him and for a moment forgot that there was more to this than a random lunch meeting with a cute girl. He was pretty sure it was her eyes
maybe the hair....hmmm perhaps the overall presentation. And he stopped himself, don't get a crush on her until you know if she is single...was he trying to rebound from his encounter with Katrina today, she was a great friend but he wanted more, and if she was head over heels for Slate like he thought she was then he might need to work on figuring out how to be just friends with her, there was a problem he didn't have a solution to. and here he was, letting him self get caught up in some girls wonderfully mischievous eyes.
"Yeah, that would be great, and sseeing asss he issn't around much I appreciate it all the more, I would have sscoured this place top to bottom if not for you." He then tilted his head. "law enforcement?" but the xmen went beyond law enforcement...maybe the police had changed since he had been in the city last? he glanced away as she looked at him.

Amelia opened her mouth to respond, then shut it, smiling. "I'll just let him explain that one for himself," she said. Law enforcement. She wasn't 100% sure on that, herself. Gawain was an X-men, but he sure wasn't a cop, too. Although the thought of him in a cop uniform wasn't a bad one.
She dialed her phone.
There was a ringing from beyond the kitchen door. She looked that way.
Shin picked up. "Huh."
"Um..."
"Hey Ami, what's up?"
"Come to the kitchen."
Shin did.
Amelia blushed. "That was convenient."
"What was?" Shin saw him. "Koga!" Shin rushed the table like a dog rushes bacon. He was happy to see him. "It's been ages. How the hell are you, buddy?" He grinned.
Amelia surreptitiously put away her phone. Yeah. That hadn't been needed. How fortuitous for them he'd just been passing by in the hall...
Koga could respect that, the urge to spill other peoples information but resisting. “Fair enough.” Koga’s eyes shot to the door where a fun started ringing a tone that Shin would have on his phone. HE smiled broadly as he could hear shins muffled voice just outside the room.
“You are good.” He laughed at the embarrassed expression on her face. It was nice to know that if she hadn’t come along Shinbo would have, but it was better to know that if he couldn’t find him he wouldn’t have had to do it alone.
“Shinbo!” He hoped off of his stool nearly knocking it over, except for the fact that he was barefoot and caught it with his toes. He gripped Shin in a hug that didn’t give him a chance to get his arms arm to return the hug. “ Too Long. I am good now! I went through hell and then ssome for awhile, and then I met my grandfather well who he really iss anyway, and then I came back. That iss the extremely abridged verssion. How have you been?” He would tell Shin the long version after Amelia wasn’t around, He didn’t care for being vulnerable and while he appreciated her help, he wasn’t ready to be weak in front of her. he let shin out of the hug so he wouldn’t be talking in his face anymore.
He grinned “Amelia was helping me get in touch with you.” In the most serious tone he could manage. “Sserioussly if you are ever looking for ssomeone, you sdhould enlisst her help, Sshe getss ressultss. “ he looked to Ami to ensure that she knew he was grateful and not just spastic. “ Really, I do appreciate the help.”
