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.

The twenty year old snapped himself out of his own thoughts and turned to look in Jorge's direction. He hoped that the X-Men member didn't see him gawk at the pod of dolphins. If they were there, then maybe something more terrifying was too.
>> ”Alright…well…why don’t we start off super easy, okay?”
Super easy? Derek could handle more than "super easy". Like...easy.
>> ”Why don’t you throw a couple of punches…”
Derek would do more than that. He got into a good fighting stance and threw a couple of punches along with a roundhouse kick; which was on point. He then turned to face Jorge again and shrug his shoulders cutely.
"There it is, Jorge." He chuckled a bit and turned his attention back to the water. Without thinking, he started to take off his shoes, socks, and rolled up his sweatpants to his knee. He then made his way over to edge of the ring and sat down on it, placing his feet into the warm water.
Derek started to slap the water to see if any marine life will come and check him out. He didn't a couple more times before the pod of dolphins that he saw came by, clicking and bumping against his feet and legs.
"Hey, guys!" Derek watched them in action with a smile on his face. He sniffed and slapped the water a bit more. One of the dolphins bobbed up in between his legs and started clicking. "Hey, gorgeous! Look at ya!" He smiled more and nuzzled his nose against hers. "I'm gonna need some help with fighting Jorge. Are you up for it?"
The dolphin clicked again and swam down back into the water. While she was down there, he looked over his shoulder at Jorge, "one sec," he turned back to stare at the beautiful water. After about ten more seconds, the same marine mammal popped up and clicked a "yes".
"Sweet! Thank you!" He kissed her nose before standing up from the edge and headed over to his instructor. "Sorry about that. I may or may not have ADD."

Derek had took the town car to Sanctuary so that he and Donahue could find him some clothes. He was dressed for a relaxed day out in a simple pair of khaki joggers and green t-shirt. The mutant had called Don two hours in advance to tell him that he was coming by.
He was actually excited about getting to know Don a little bit more. The twenty year old got out of the car and made his way inside of the homeless shelter and community center.
Once he made it to Don's room, he knocked and waited for him to respond.

>> "Can we help you? We're not taking his freaking order kid! This isn't Olive Garden. I'm pretty sure he's here to mangle us!"[/i][/font]
Derek shrugged his shoulders, "I dunno! It just seem polite!" He whispered to Rhett. It wasn't everyday that another mutant confronted him. Just today. He turned his attention back to the man who had arrived and shifted his weight from one leg to the other awkwardly. He didn't know whether or not he should take back his question to the man or let the chips lie where they were.
>> "That's cute. Well, they call me Hercules. You're about to find out why...."
Derek was about to say something, but was cut short by Rhett's laughing.
"Hey, stop!" Derek nudged the older man. He didn't want anything else thrown so that the man could prove that he was a threat. Derek quickly turned to watch a bench sail toward them. The youngest of the three mutants tucked and rolled out of the way, the birds on his shoulders taking to the skies.
Once Derek knew that he avoided the bench, he stood up and nudged the man was charging at him. With a quick whistling sound, the birds circled around and aimed for his eyes and mouth.
"Rhett?!" He called, looking around for the man.

The African American mutant raised his eyebrows. "Fling? Oh, no. I don't do flings. I also don't, y'know do it on a first date," Derek shrugged his shoulders. He felt like it was important for him to have a little bit of morals concerning his romantic life, "though he is pretty cute. I'll probably end up textin' him."
"...Sure. I'll be the object of the dare," Derek placed his drink down before standing up and looking down at Allegra. He smiled kindly at her before closing his eyes folding his arms over his chest.
"Maybe I'll get cool ice powers or be able to breathe underwater."

"D'awww!" Derek playfully bopped Xavia's nose from across the table. "I'm glad that you're happy with Merida. You both deserve each other," Derek turned his attention down at the menu and clicked his tongue. He didn't know what he wanted, but it was going to involve a cheese burger.
As the waitress came over, Derek got his order ready. He went for a water, a BLT, fries, and a side of onion rings. Damn Xavia and her corruption.
"So," Derek started after the waitress left, "what are you doin' the rest of the day? Gonna talk on the phone with Artiar?"

He let the quiet sink into the room. Derek smiled and opened his eyes to look at Xavia.
"You're welcome. Anytime. This is my first time comin' to a spa. It's very relaxin'." Derek yawned a bit. "There needs to be a room where we could just take a thirty minute nap. I'd pay extra for that." Derek grinned and scratched the side of his head.
"What's next? I might get in the mud bath next to Xavia so I can swallow in somethin' other than my sweat." He teased with a grin.

"He can," Derek assured, "you'll make sure you get the river's edge safely too. Well, he'll try." He can't really since Leon couldn't talk with bats, but, y'know.
Anyways, back to the task at hand.
The bat started to take off toward the river for Leon to follow him. "Go safe!" Derek called after him.
When they were gone, Derek got up and walked around the campsite. He noticed a couple more spines and tossed them into the fire. He made sure to breath through his mouth so he didn't have to smell it.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry, Artair," Derek wanted to nuzzle him apologetically, but realized that it might make things even more uncomfortable so instead he gave his shoulder a rub. "And...I know Xavia is in good hands when she's with you. I just worry. If I do it again, you're more than welcome to beat me with a mental newspaper." He teased a bit to lighten the mood.
Derek knitted his eyebrows, "...who got hurt? Kendra?" he asked, "Kendra's my girl, now. She would totally be bae; make her ancestors angry." Derek snickered and looked over at Artair from his drink. Did he fight her? If he did, then Derek would...do nothing.
"Oh, no! I'm just curious how old you are. I haven't asked you. Actually, I only know how old Allegra is and that's it," Derek couldn't remember how old Xaxia -- in her thirties? He wasn't too sure. He couldn't exactly count her "tree rings", "I'm twenty. I turn twenty one in a couple of months so that should be interestin' for me. Especially if you have anythin' to do with it."
"You're my wing man." He deadpanned. "You're my wing man, officially. You will also take me to Scotland one day and get me some Scottish ----." Derek blushed a bit.

>> ”Did y’ expect it not t’?”
"Not if I was doin' it," Derek answered with a snort, "and yeah, good thin'." He added.
Derek got himself into position and repeated the freeing motion until he got a good handle on it. Ranger was an amazing teacher and would probably go back to him for personal assistance. If he was able to take down someone like him, then Derek would have little to know problem fighting.
After the fifteen release, he huffed and slowly regain his breath, "this may be jumpin' ahead, but how am I supposed to fight someone who...has super strength or is a super solider?" Was Ranger a super solider? "...What're powers anyway?"

Derek couldn't help himself, but to smirk at Jude's reaction. It was cute to say the least. Derek listened closely to Jude's explanation about not blowing up the Mansion.
The more he explained it, the more he realized that it was a, in fact, an accident. Derek didn't mind his personal space being "invaded". It wasn't like he had problems where he liked people at a certain length.
"...I can see why the missile was sent off," Derek smirked and ate another string bean after Jude did. "I'm guessin' you got in a lot of trouble for that, huh?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. "Like do dishes for the next year or do somethin' crazy like that."

Derek playfully rolled his eyes at Allegra's compliment and sucked down his smoothie. She must've got more when he was performing his dare. "I'm guessin' I'm a friend? Who knows? I don't even know hold old he is. Probably should've asked that."
"Let's see..." So Allegra wanted a challenge? He could do that. He could make her wish come true.
"I dare you to give someone a random power." This was also Derek's way of seeing Allegra's power work first hand.

Derek laughed at Artair. The grump actually had helpful advice. No wonder he was so shippable. "Thank you, Artair. It means a lot comin' from you." Derek gave Artair a playful nudge. Artair also had a point, too. If Derek was straight, they wouldn't be having the current conversations they were having now. He would most likely be with either Allegra or Kendra.
"What? Oh, God, no. I didn't want to watch any of," he gestured to Artair with a scrunched up nose, "what happened there. I just made sure that you guys that safely. I...worry," Derek was overprotective of his friends. "Other than that, I haven't 'spied' on anyone." Derek added truthfully. He hadn't thought about it, but he could be a spy for Haven or retrieve information from various sources.
Derek smiled sweetly at Artair, "it was a very interestin' day. I wouldn't change it for the world. Plus, I got a new furry friend because of it." He still hadn't picked out a name for his little fox friend. Maybe something along the lines of Diana or Iris. He still was throwing names around.
When he came back, the twenty year old mutant rolled his eyes, "no, he didn't answer so I left a voicemail." Derek answered with a sigh, "Maybe he'll check it in the mornin'." Derek sniffed and wrapped his fingers around the base of his glass. "...How old are you anyway?"

"...I know, but y'know how overprotective I am over you. You, Artair, and Allegra are all apart of my...herd." He shrugged his shoulders coyly. He knew better than to send the bats to check up on them, but he worried when she was away. "Maybe I should've stopped after the fifth one."
Derek moistened his lips, "It is nice! I feel so...tamed," he chuckled and looked down at the man who was doing his feet. Damn, he was cute too. What was up with all these attractive men surrounding him?! He let out a groan and closed his eyes. "How are you feelin' over there, Allegra?"

"Oh, I'm not ashamed about bein' mutant, it's just that you never know how people will react to you once they learn that you're different," that went for the same for telling people that he was gay. It was more of a way to remain safe and intact.
Zoo Keeper? Was that his new code name now? Derek didn't know, but he kind of liked it. Then another code name popped into his head, "What about Tamer? I like that one too." Tamer sounded more threatening, yet gentler in a way. Zoo Keeper was too benevolent.
When Derek heard screaming, he turned his head toward the sound. The young mutant felt the sudden shiver and shivered. He balled his fists and whistled a few times. Two American Kestrels landed on either side of Derek's shoulders in preparation. He was getting better at calling to animals and felt very proud of himself. Seeing the motorcycle crash into the park definitely made him on edge. He looked over at Rhett. "Yeah, I feel like I'm goin' to have to, too."
Derek's eyes fell on a man, who in his mind, was pretty attractive. He knew that was a bad thing. He cleared his throat and studied the man closer, "yes, unfortunately," Derek whispered to the older man. He cleared his throat and took a small step forward, "...Can we help you, sir."

>> ”Why not both?”
Both? Oh, boy, things were about to get interesting.
>> ”Computer. Gillian’s Island, scenario 23, marine life 80% active.”
Derek watched as the forest scenery gave way to the aquatic one. There was a little island off in the distance with palm trees and seagulls flying over head. Derek then turned his attention to the surrounding ocean. He remembered hearing Jorge say, "80% active marine life"? He wondered what kind creatures were currently hidden underneath the surface.
He the gave observation to the platform they were standing on. It was like the inside of a boxing ring minus the ropes. That made him a bit uneasy only because if, more like "when", Jorge knocks him into the water, something was there to check him out. It could either be as gentle as a bottle nose dolphin or as fierce as an orca.
>> ”If you don’t mind my asking…do you have any combat experience? Like, classes or self training?”
"...No. I don't have any formal trainin'," Derek answered with a coy shrug of his shoulders. He turned his attention to what looked like a small pod of dolphins. He smiled some at the scene, getting sidetracked.
