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.

When he leaned in to plant the kiss, suddenly no one was there. He stumbled forward a little before his eyes opened, and he looked down to see her backpedaling away... And then he fell over laughing...
My god, there were no words to describe the adorability... adorality? adorableness? Adorableness of this woman! He slowly climbed up to his knees, and stopped himself laughing just long enough to see her trample the ketchup bottle... That started it again. He quickly stopped himself, though, when he realized it might be a little embarrassing. "Heh... uhm... yeah... So... yeah... not ready for that yet. Lets get you cleaned up." He walked over to reach out a hand to help her up... Hopefully she didn't offer a ketchuppy hand, cause... well... yeah.
Man, this had really ended up quite a mess, hadn't it? Still he had one more question. He had to ask... He didn't want to forget, did he?
The laughing only served to make her blush worse. She wiggled her fingers, not liking the feeling of ketchup on them one bit, and tried not to pay any attention to the giggling of her friend. When he offered her a hand, she nearly reached out with the sticky one, before correcting herself and grabbing a hold of him with her dominant left hand.
"... What is it?" She questioned once she was back on her feet, trying to wipe of the majority of the ketchup on her (his) already stained shirt. Hopefully it wouldn't be some kind of awkward or silly thing... she didn't know if she could manage to blush any more than she currently was, and honestly, she didn't want to find out.
Looking up at him, one hand still in his, she tilted her head slightly and waited for him to ask her what he had on his mind.

He held her hand in his, she wiped her ketchup stained hand on the shirt he'd loaned her, he smiled widely and tried not to laugh...
This was a moment he would surely remember for a long, long time to come... After all, who else could say they asked their girlfriend out while she used your shirt as a wash towel just after being mooned by a kid whose ball you just sent to the moon? Probably a couple people, actually, but he doubted any of them would feel as lucky as he if she said yes.
"So... I figured, since we love each other and all, it might be a given.. but... Well, why not make it official? Andrea... wanna be my girlfriend?"
He gave her his best charming smile, and simply waited for her response... Slowly, the charming look turned into a puppy-dog one.
She was caught off guard for a moment... Girlfriend? He wanted to be her boyfriend?
... and then she started giggling. Her blush refused to go away, and she suddenly couldn't stop laughing, and if it weren't for him holding onto her hand she probably would have fallen over.
The absurdity of it all, that she would have confessed her love for him before either of them had even thought to ask the other out. It was almost too much.
...Almost. "You bet I do!" With a happy, glee filled giggle, she launched herself at him with enough force to knock the two of them to the ground. Picnic supplies flew everywhere, ketchup, mustard, and pie galore! She rolled to the side, sporting new bits of cookie and bread in her hair and on her clothes, and grinned at the man.
Then, as everything stilled and she felt the pain of a mustard bottle digging into her ribs, she leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips.

Did he get a yes? No. He got a "You bet I do!", which was even better!
And then he got tackled, and fell over with a yelp of surprise as his soundtrack.
CRASH! They landed amongst the picnic supplies, and she rolled off, revealing their shared state of dirtiness... it didn't matter, though, because she leaned in to kiss him, and he gladly kissed back... He was a happy man, and this was a happy day... no kickball kid or strange sandwich could take that away from him... nothing could...
a shower with her would make it better... no? No shower? Well, you can't always get what you want, right?
He would settle for kissing for now; lots and lots of kissing.
