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 laughed, “ I didn’t think about that, mmm, perhapss next time.” Or had he thought of that exact likelihood and ensure there was a go to for next time around.
He shook his head slightly to the question, from the way things were running around here, he was starting to wonder where the x-men were at all. He might just take charge himself if he didn’t see things moving, as productively as they could be.
“Not yet I wass in training at the time, I hope to be one ssoon though.”
If reptilian eyes could show compassion and empathy, they were doing so now. “Gina, I have to ssay that telling you my ssecret wass kind of nice, If you want to talk about it, I’m here, itss no more than you’ve already done for me.” he certainly wouldn’t press the topic if she didn’t want to talk about it, but if she did he would certainly oblige her with listening,
If nothing else they were in a place that could help to get them past their dark pasts.

Gina leaned to the side, propping her weight upon one hand, and tucking one leg casually beneath the other. Her tail curled around her feet, reflexively hiding the talons. His fathomless black eyes were unconditionally kind, and Gina gave a kind smile back. Maybe it wasn’t the best picnic conversation. In fact, anyone who was the wiser would probably say that it’d kill the date. But Koga had told her something awful, thus Gina wanted to level the playing field. Not in a “I’m going to one-you-up with my tragedy by telling you mine,” sort of way, just in a sympathetic, “You’re not the only one who’s had bad things happen to you,” manner of speaking.
She brushed a few stray strands of hair back from her eyes, pausing for a few moments to contemplate the proper way to say what she was about to say.
“Back in October, there was an Xavier’s kid that got shot,” Gina said nonchalantly. It had been a while, it was getting easier to talk about, but it was still difficult. It seemed so surreal, except the warbling scar upon her shoulder reminded her that it wasn’t, “She snuck out late at night, came across an unfavorable goon--” her eyes glittered in an unreadable way, “That kid was me. I was on a late-flight around the city. I mean, it was probably a bad decision to begin with, because I know that the city isn’t a safe place… well, now I know, anyways… but you feel so invincible when you’re in your element, you know?”
Gina paused, pointing to the scar on her shoulder, which was hidden by a layer of fabric, “He got me right there.”
And then there was another pause, an awkward sip of the apple juice, and a clearing of the throat.
“I just totally wrecked the atmosphere, didn’t I,” Gina commented, laughing faintly and shaking her head, “I think that was too grim of a grim secret, yeah?”
If Koga had hackles they would have raised at the first sentence, the intensity of which he was offended by the first sentence was compacted by the next and further still by the third, None of that showed, the rage that was slowly building with in him was completely concealed as it always was, his outward demeanor only showed careful empathy.
“I don’t think it wass a bad decission, you sshould be able to fly where and when you like, none of that iss your fault in the sslightesst. If you ever want to go out at night and have ssomeone come with you, I’ll watch your back.” Koga thought about it a moment more.
He scooted a little closer for a look at the bullet wound, then realizing he got closer to look at her fabric a bit closer. “Did anyone ever catch the guy? Or find out anything about him” He didn’t dare state his intention for fear she wouldn’t give him clues required to do what needed to be done.
Koga looked down at he own apple juice and felt bad about making her feel this way, take her to a paradise and remind her of her darkest hour, not the best plan….
Koga shook his head lightly, and found him self speaking soft soothing tones. “ No if anyone ruined the atmossphere it wass me. But you know what, both of uss went through some rough timess, and were sstill here, sstill happy people, the world triess to take uss down, but were sstill sstanding. We’re sstill sstrong.”
He wasn't sure what had carried him closer, but realized he was now much closer than he had remembered.

Koga seemed indignant that Gina had been shot, struck with the same confusion as she—the sky should have been her domain, and it wasn’t her fault that she’d been shot. Gina tilted her head minimally, still smiling. It was her fault—she never would have been shot if she hadn’t been out flying that light at night, if she hadn’t gone to that garden. But it wasn’t as though she could go back and change anything.
Koga offered to keep an eye on her, if Gina decided to go flying at night, and Gina’s heart stuttered at the offer—she was struck by the fear of flying at night again, but also flattered that someone would accompany her just so Gina could go flying, even if it was breaking curfew. Koga was just so sweet. He hedged closer, when Gina pointed to her shoulder, only to be met with the fabric of her outfit. Gina smiled and lowered that shoulder, pulling the fabric aside to offer a glimpse of the scar that grazed her shoulder.
“Pretty, right?” she commented. Koga pressed-on for details. Had they ever caught the guy, and so on?
Gina shook her head slowly, “They haven’t caught him yet. I ran into a police officer, the guy bolted. And I guess he’s still about, somewhere.”
Which wasn’t a pleasant thought to entertain—that that guy could still be out there, roaming freely. Koga was reassuring her, and had drawn closer. But luckily, Gina had no concept of personal space, and didn’t attempt to distance herself. The reptilian boy stated that it was his fault that the conversation had taken such a turn, and Gina could feel her gaze searching his own.
“Hey,” she said with a grin, nudging Koga’s arm with a timid hand, “You’re darn right, we’re still strong.”
Her grin faltered into a shy smile when Gina did, in fact, realize that they’d gotten pretty close, and her face radiated heat, head dipping apologetically. She pretended to look towards the food, to hide the blush that was slowly creeping into her cheeks. She dropped her hand, brown eyes wandering towards Koga’s own eyes once again as her hand returned to her side.
“So…” Gina trailed casually, “Now that we’ve divulged our deep, dark secrets… shall we eat?”
Koga may have been looking at the shoulder she had just bared for him instead. He nodded to her question. “Very pretty.” He said sincerely without realizing he was supposed to be observing the wound that some scumbag put on her. All and all it looked to be healing nicely.
His attention snapped back to what was important, the police would have a description if he could convince someone to give it to him, and Perhaps Shin could pull some strings or put him in contact with someone who could. He didn’t want to push Gina for more details.
Koga was now on tilt, his mouth was dry. She was touching his arm and they were closer, how did they get closer again?
His face warmed as she tilted her head down in embarrassment, his fingers slid across her arm as she removed it from touching his own. He watched her for a moment longer until she broke the spell she put on him with the deep pools of chocolate she called eyes.
Koga swallowed again. “Yeah, food.” He nodded and pushed himself up and to his knees. It was good to have something to concentrate on other than her still bare shoulder framed against the green around them, He removed the nice plates he had packed and placed the food he had prepared upon them. A deep breath in and he turned to say something to her then his eyes went wide and he pointed over her shoulder. “I forgot about them, they’re still peaceful but yeah.” A trio of massive western dragons twisted about in the air, they interacted much like puppy’s might, mischievously bothering each other while playing with each other.

Gina hadn’t really been on a date before, so whether or not she’d fall that hard or that fast for a guy was unknown. She did like, Koga, though—and, as she withdrew her own, reassuring hand, she realized that Koga was also reassuring her with a light touch on her arm. This just set Gina blushing even more, her head a hum of static. She was always an affectionate sort, all about the hugs and the clinging, yet this was different—tender, inquiring. Just as Gina had disjointedly suggested that they eat, Koga numbly agreed. The gargoyle smiled lightly, her eyes sweeping towards the plates of food, before meandering towards Koga once again, appraising him.
He retrieved some plates of food, and Gina awkwardly adjusted her shirt, covering up the shoulder once again as Koga prepped lunch. He was about to say something, but then paused, his eyes widening as he gestured past the young gargoyle. Gina arched her eyebrows, her gaze following Koga’s gesture. Emerald-green dragons twined and frolicked in the air. Ginas’ wings fluttered at the temptation, but she needed to eat first.
“You must have put so much thought into this,” Gina said, for perhaps the thousandth time over that day, “I’m so impressed.”
Remind her again why this boy didn’t have a girlfriend yet?
Koga smiled. “I put a lot of thought into it initially, and then I realized I sstill had a week until our date, sso I may have sspent that time in here programming, insstead of pacing back and forth imagining how I could potentially Messs thingss up. Accidently of coursse, but yeah it kept me occupied.”
An impatient Koga was a busy Koga, he could have ofcourse asked her out a week sooner, but wanted to play it cool, of which he just threw out the window. by admitting he’d been going crazy. But he couldn’t argue with the results. “Though, it doess occur to me, I may have sset the bar high for a ssecond date…asssuming, you’d accept. And I decided on not letting inssane technology do the majority of the heavy lifting.”
Koga ate his food, quietly for a moment. Allowing for Gina to take charge of the conversation if she was so inclined. It was only polite as he had thus far steered the conversation toward what he was curious about.

Gina dined, taking mild bites of her meal, and letting her gaze linger on Koga while he spoke, only drifting away to make sure all food was balanced well upon her fork, and wouldn’t topple off and venture any places that it shouldn’t. His tale of designing the other world was amusing and cute—how he’d done all that he had planned, and had worked so quickly that he’d given himself an extra week as a cushion, and had spent it fine-tuning everything.
“You did well,” Gina assured him, chuckling. And the fact that he was fretting was also quite amusing. Gina had been fretting, too, and she didn’t even have an alternate reality to design. She just had to look pretty and make the prize of bidding for a date with her well worth it. Koga continued along his train of thought, observing that this would be hard to top, if they went on a second date, presuming that Gina would go along with him. Even without the fancy digital world, Koga was a sweetheart. A nice guy. The kind of guy who, if he asked you out on a second date, you’d be a fool to say “no” to him.
“I would accept,” Gina beamed, “Or maybe I would ask you… assuming, you’d accept, too. I mean… I can’t program a world for you, but I know of some nice spots about the city to visit.”
Something simple, something sweet—places that “just friends” could go, if that was the vibe they wanted to throw, but also places that would be sufficient for dates. It was one of the advantages of flying around the city in your free time—you found all these cool places that you could go with friends, places you’d never know of if you didn’t ever leave the house.
The smile on Gina's face demanded that it be matched with his own.of course the happy acceptance wasn't bad news at all. Koga raised his eyebrows as if scandalized by the thought of the young lady asking him out, a small sound of shock escaped his lips as he covered it with a hand. He then returned to his normal demeanor and stated.
"It would be my pleassure. You don't have to program a world, we already have one. I would like to see the sspotss you've found. and I sshould be able to climb anywhere you can fly to, Sso long ass there iss ssomething ssolid to hold onto. It might take me a bit longer, but I could manage it, sso you don't have to hold back on the good sspotss."
They seemed to be carefully skirting the issue of in what regard they would be going, though the label of second date seemed acceptable, but surely time would tell.
Koga finished his finger food moments later, he in most regards was a perfect gentleman, but sometimes the hunger of a young male got the better of him and left him wondering where his meal had gone so quickly.

Gina giggled as Koga looked aghast at the idea that a girl could take a man out on a date. He was so… chivalrous, which was a dying trait in most of the population. He was so conservative, and Gina thought it was sweet, but also quite amusing. He even gasped, and covered his mouth with a hand. She quieted her own giggles, grazing on the lunch before her as she listened.
Gina wouldn’t have to make a world, because he’d already made one for the two of them. Gina ate quietly agreed to going out and about, stating that he’d climb wherever she flew, and she should show him some of her secret haunts about the city.
“Well, there are a few rooftops that I’m rather fond of,” Gina confessed, “It would be better if you used the stairs or an elevator for that.”
The gargoyle girl had an absurd mental image of Koga scaling the face of a building, and a pang of unease hit her. He didn’t have wings, so that wouldn’t be very safe for him to do. Gina was a slow eater, so while Koga tore through his meal much like teenage boys often did, Gina found that she was only two-thirds finished as Koga finished off his plate.
“I’m such a slow eater,” Gina stated apologetically.
"Oh, Thats right. I haven't showed off what I can do for you yet. A bit of a show to go with the rest of your meal."
He slipped his shoes and socks off and set them on the further side of the rug just in case he didn't sweat seeing as he was coldblooded and, but still one could never be too careful. He then hopped up and ran at the nearest tree, He scaled the tree with ease climbing up the trunk and walked down the bottom side of a branch hanging upside down and every step took him closer to Gina.
He let his shirt slip down revealing his hard earned abs. Really, it was for the color effect that he was showing her his stomach, at least that's what he was trying to convince himself of as he got closer. His skin mimicked the various colors behind him doing a convincing job of blending his flesh into the back ground. He then smiled at her and gave an upside down bow as he swiped her particular shade of speckled grey for his own before releasing the tree and landing with trained grace at the edge of the rug.
"All that to say, I'll pass on the elevator's, besides security doesn't patrol the outer walls."

Gina arched an eyebrow as Koga spoke, delicately taking a bite before pausing to see what Koga “could do for her”. He took off his shoes and socks, first, and set them aside. Gina followed him with her gaze as he bounded to his feet and, running towards the tree, managed to scale the trunk with ease. He approached a branch and continued on, as if gravity was not a care to him, and paused, upside-down.
“Whoa!” Gina gasped appreciatively, clapping her hands a few times. Koga sauntered closer, making no attempt to keep his shirt in its place, and Gina went quiet, prying her eyes towards his face, cheeks coloring lightly. That is, until he started changing colors. It wasn’t a spontaneous shifting of colors, but rather, a camouflage. Gina could see the parallel between his skin and his surroundings. Very cool. Gina pried her gaze away again, her eyes once again locking with Koga’s. Even if she was admiring his camouflaging skills, she was still staring at his stomach. Like a weird-o.
Koga bowed as he concluded the display of power, even going so far as to mimic Gina’s skin-tone. Fortunately, it betrayed no lavender tint of a blush.
“Very cool,” Gina confessed, as Koga dropped down from the tree and righted himself, “Bravo.”
Gina really had no room to talk, now—she couldn’t say to Koga that he couldn’t climb walls, particularly when his mutation allowed him to. It would be like telling Gina that she wasn’t allowed to fly, for fear of an airplane hitting her, or some such nonsense. It was like telling someone that they weren’t allowed to walk somewhere or enter a certain building. It was just fundamentally wrong.
“Okay, I won’t fuss about you climbing walls,” Gina admonished. She’d still worry, though. Just like Agnes worried when she went out on flights. Gina polished off the last few food items on her plate at a relatively casual pace, before turning her attention towards Koga once again.
"Thankss, Do you ever forget that your abilities aren't typical? at firsst I was confussed asss to why you wanted me to use the sstairss, asss if everyone sshould be able to climb sstrait up any building in New york."
Koga Crossed his legs sitting on the corner of the carpet once more across from his fellow grey skinned companion. They could have been inhabitants of some beautiful young world all of their own.
"I'm glad to hear that, It would probably be hard to explain to the bell hopss or the front dessk why exactly I needed access to a place I probably wouldn't be allowed to have accesss to otherwisse."
He sat his arms behind him and leaned back and enjoyed the simulated breeze and the rowdy tunes that the faye were still playing. He leaned back and let himself fall into a comfortable silence, he only watched Gina out of the corner of his eyes. He silently surveyed the world around him and decided that none of the fantastical terrain was quite as nice to look at as the young woman across from him.

Gina chuckled and smiled, shaking her head, “I wouldn’t say that I forget, but I do come to realize that quite often. Like… when I fly, I can tell you how to get anywhere just by rooftops alone. But when I’m ground-level with everyone else, I feel like I’m in some sort of high-walled maze.”
That’s how the skyscrapers made her feel. Dwarfed. Caged. Lost.
“Makes it very interesting to give people directions,” Gina mused allowed, “’Hang a left at the rooftop with the water tower.’” She giggled. Only people who could fly would understand directions like that. She giggled more at the mental image of Koga trying to convince concierge that he was going out for a date on a rooftop terrace of theirs.
Koga reclined, and Gina did as well, her gaze meandering over the scenery around her before settling on the boy across from her. She was a little more open in her staring, smiling when she caught him staring at her out of the corner of his eyes, before glancing away shyly.
“Thank you for doing all this,” Gina murmured. Had she thanked him already? She couldn’t remember. But she just wanted to let him know how grateful she was to have been taken on such a killer first date.
“Itss odd when I walk up a building, it’s almosst asss if the whole resst of the world turnss on itss sside oppossed to jusst me. I think my brain hass ssome ssort of gyrosscope in it that keepss me forever upright.”
He tilted his head as if he was trying to decided. “Maybe literally.” He tilted his head more and it was like Gina was leaning up against a wall instead of relaxing on the rug. “Hmmm.” He returned his view of her back to normal, not that it had affected her in the least.
“I can imagine, though a blue tooth sset and jusst giving them live, take the next right or left directions, might be very usseful for avoiding the worsst of new York traffic, though you are bound to hit it ssometime.”
“My pleassure, as geektasstic ass it iss, I enjoyed it.” he paused and then added. “ The ressultss of the work have made it more than worth the time put in.” He could have been talking about the scenery…or more likely he could have been talking about the perfect girl relaxing across from him, with bold looks and broad smiles.
If they both hadn’t been laying down it seemed like it would be a good time to try to steal a kiss, but the connotations laying down added, well he didn’t want it said that he wasn’t a gentleman.or was it too soon all together to be thinking about her lips in the least?
“Sshall we explore ssoon?” he asked as she seemed to have finished up her lunch.
