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.

Derek had done his part and wasn't sure if Nate wanted help or not. So, he stood quiet in the spot he was currently at. The bats above them flew around in a common flight pattern that was similar to their hunting one. Derek tried to see what was going on, but sudden realized that there was a dome of darkness that covered both the tall man and Nate. That couldn't be good.
Instead of calling out like he wanted to, he remained quiet. If he knew one thing, it was that he had to make sure that his partner didn't get hurt. Derek turned his attention back to the skies and signaled for the swarm to attack. One by one, two by two, and three by three, the flying mammals swooped down into the darkness and started to attack the man viciously. Yep, he would be cashing his entire next paycheck in fruits and crickets.

>> “Yes, better, but busy...Now that everyone’s been able to adjust their security and are aware of the alternates of one another. Again, I’m quite sorry about missing our picnic. The other Devon removed it from my calendar and I’d been helping a mutant child refugee from Syria who was trying to get the right to stay and…”
Derek felt a pang of hurt and anger when Devon brought up Not-Devon. That son of a toad could rot in hell for all Derek cared. Though, he knew he didn't need to direct his anger at real Devon. That wasn't fair.
>> “I am truly sorry...I should have remembered. I do hope there wasn’t anything too problematic he did. There’s a bar I’m not allowed to go to a few blocks up...All that aside, how about class now that school’s started?”
"I'm sorry too." Derek added before answering his question. "And it's been goin' well. Just fine." He looked up at Devon and slowly stepped closer. His hand slowly reached out and ran his fingers along his collar of his suit. After having a go with Aleksandr, Derek learned that if he wanted something, he would have to go out and take it. So, that's what he was doing. "...To make up for Devon, you and I are goin' to have drinks, dance a little, and have a conversation. If things work out, great. If not, okay. I can live with that."

Derek nodded his head. "It'll help explore what I like and what I don't. If this has taught me anythin', it's to take chances." He smiled some up at Aleksandr. He never thought that he would be in bed with a naga-mutant with hovering over him. Derek bit his lip before leaning forward to kiss his lips. "Yes, we need sleep. Then in the mornin', we can make breakfast and do more of this." Derek turned over on his side and moved back until his back was against Aleksandr's chest.

>> ”Okay, Animagus. I am going to try sneaking over to the shipping container out there. Is there any chance you have some animal friends who would be interested in starting a distraction?”
Derek nodded his head, "I'll do you one better than that." He whispered to shadow beside him. Damn, that was cool. He would have to fanboy about that after the mission was accomplished. "I got your back, don't worry. Though, I may end up spendin' my next paycheck on fruit." Derek gave his partner a smile before turning his attention up to the skies. The bats changed their flight patterns to it's hunting one, circling overhead. That definitely caught a little attention from the men working.
Derek telepathically told them not to get themselves hurt, but by all means, distract the goons. After a few seconds, a couple of brave bats swooped down and flew in front of the man's face. He was caught off guard at first, not knowing what to do until the second one came. Them the third, forth, and fifth.

>> "It’s really coming along,”
Derek quickly turned his head to look over at Devon (hopefully Devon) and smiled loudly.
>> “One day I think all of New York will have these converted green spaces within and atop their buildings. Good for all of us.”
"I agree. Hopefully, that'll happen in every big city," Derek nodded his head and turned around fully to look at blue-eyed mutant, "then from there, maybe we can start doing some agriculture on rooftops, too."
>> “I see you’re already attracting some friends inside too...The more friends the better.”
Derek glanced to either side of his shoulder at the finches. "Yep! They like to give me company." The finches chirped in agreement before flying off.
>> "Everyone else at lunch?"
"Ah, yes. They're off to lunch," Derek nodded his head and took a small step toward Devon. "Uh," he glanced around the construction site before awkwardly scratching the back of his neck. "So, ah, how're things? Good, I hope."

Derek thoughtfully scratched his growing beard as he stood over the blueprints of what the arboretum was going to look like. He had offered up the idea to the Higher Ups and to his surprise, he got the "okay" from them. That transpired a couple of weeks ago and now construction had actually began. The reason why he wanted this space was not only for those Havenites who's powers that connected to nature, but also for everyone to have a place to just relax.
The idea he was going for was a meadow like area with a mini hill or two with trees that outlined a path. There was more like a fountain, but that was going to come later. Right now, the area had small flags marking where things were going to go. The location was in between Devon's penthouse and the rest of the Haven Headquarters, so to Derek, it served as the perfect transition area. Nothing too special yet. However, he did schedule time for Devon to come down and check on how things were going.
Two songbirds manged to make themselves over to Derek and land on either shoulder. This definitely wasn't helping denounce his Disney Princess persona. Oh, well. Glancing at his watch, Derek moved from over the blue prints to go take a stroll through the construction site (he workers had gone on their late lunch break so Derek wasn't in the way).

>> ”That little guy’s gonna be a lot more helpful than helping you sow a dress—regardless of how pretty that might be,”
Derek tried his hardest to stifle a laugh. "I'll make sure her that after we accomplish this mission of ours."
>> ”Let those little guy’s lead the way, then.”[/i]
Derek nodded his head and waited for the bat to circle back around. When they did, Derek followed after him. Doing this brought back memories of going out to look for Leon for his survival challenge back when he was a resident at the Mansion. He was glad that this time he wasn't looking for his partner and instead working with him.
After a couple of minutes of following after a growing number of bats, they came to where the shipment was being moved. Derek immediately stopped and looked at Nate for further instruction.

"Y-yeah, I figured that," Derek felt his face become hot when the man stated that throwing the tennis ball toward the path wasn't the best idea, "I do apologize. I didn't see you comin'."
>> "It's fine...You don't have to...That's... not a dog."
Derek looked behind him at the Vix, then back at the man. "...She's part of the Canidae family?" He offered. Vix looked at the man from in between Derek's legs before turning her gaze away to a squirrel that had come down from one of the trees. She obviously didn't care.
"I'm Derek. Derek Menes." He offered the man a hand for him to shake. "Seriously, I can buy you a snow cone or somethin' to make up for it."

Primal moved his head from side to side in thought. "I guess it was what we're doing." He chuckled and let go of Khalil's hand once he made it to his shoulder. The things he wanted to do to this man.
When asked if they were a gift or he was gifted, Primal smirked and relaxed on the seat, "a gift. I have a way with animals that I'm sure is like no other." He whispered, winking at the sultry devil. "I've kind of made a packed with the animal kingdom." Primal said a bit cockily, shrugging his shoulders. "I'm sort of their king."

Derek had been there the twins were born and after that, been visiting whenever he had the chance to. Now was the time that he could go and visit for a bit before heading to the Honeycomb to let Vix out of his room (he was still afraid that Vix might get kicked out).
"Hey, Xavia," Derek greeted as he walked into the patient room. He went over to her and kissed the top of her forward. "Are you doing any better today?"

>> ”Eyes on the prize, Animagus...And as a quick reminder, I am not the prize. The cargo is.”
"Right, sorry. Hard to resist." Derek nodded his head and tried his hardest to remain professional. This was, after all, a very important mission.
After they were both over the fence, he continued to stay low and close to Nate, but not too close. He didn't want to be all up in the man's personal space.
>> "If your little friends would like to scout out where the cargo is being unloaded, I’d be all for that plan.”
Derek nodded his head and looked up at the sky. He had heard some squeaking above, but couldn't pin point where they were coming from. He hated using his influencing abilities on animals, but right now, it was necessary. Slowly, his eyes changed from their warm brown color to a primal orange. After a couple of minutes, a bat, a northern bat to be more specific, flew down and landed on the front of his shirt. The girl was a cutie.
"Hey, we need you to get a couple of bats to help us find some humans unloading cargo." The bat sniffed and few away to do as she was instructed to do. Hopefully. Derek then turned back to look at Nate and grinned. "Snow White who?"

"I promise, I'm okay. No worries." He chuckled with a smile on his face. Derek adjusted his seating since he could feel his rear start to go numb. "But if it makes you feel better, I'll go see DocProf." He took a sip of the smoothie and moaned at the flavor. God, he could never get tired of that.
Derek turned his attention to Doug, then back to Allegra. "Um...so, Doug, where are you from?"

>> "Sorry, I should have thought everyone says dat"
"Don't be. At least I'm pretty," he joked with a chuckle. Derek turned to look at Sveta, then back at the skies. He noticed that a few of the birds circled around the rip while squeaking among themselves.
>> "Well I guess just because you can talk to them, they don't get more intellectual...So you think they bird will tell us what we need to know?"
"I hope so." Derek's eyes stuck to the skies for a little while longer. After about ten minutes, five birds came back and landed on his out stretched arms. They started to squeak and hop along his arms, giving Derek everything he and Sveta needed to know. With a head nod, the birds flew away.
"They said it's sort of like a portal? People can go in and out and...it's more dimensional than physical."

Derek, after work at the Mansion, decided that he would head back to the Honeycomb-CO-OP to let Vix out of his room. She had been cooped up in there all day so she demanded that Derek take her out. So he did. Instead of letting her walk behind beside him, Derek scooped her up in his arms and headed to Central Park. But before she left, Derek grabbed the tennis ball from his desk so they could play catch.
The day wasn't the prettiest of days with clouds keeping the Sun's heat from getting down to the citizens of New York City. That was a good thing in Derek's mind. At least he could wear a green sweatshirt and cargo pants and not feel icky and hot. There was even a nice breeze that rustled through the treetops of the park to add to the 76 degree weather. Finding a nice spot, Derek put Vix down onto the grassy ground before throwing the ball. The fox quickly ran after it and once she had it between her jaws, came back to Derek to do it again.
They did this dance for a good five minutes before Vix asked for him to throw it further. Derek complied and when he threw it, he didn't notice that a guy was in the ball's line of movement. The green tennis ball hit the man in the shoulder, causing Derek to gasped loudly.
"I'm so sorry!" He explained, running toward him. "I am so, so, sorry! I didn't mean for the ball to hit you!" Vix, not really caring, grabbed the ball and went behind Derek to sit and rest. "Uh, I-I can buy you an ice cream cone? O-or somethin'?"
