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 playfully rolled his eyes at Artair, "true. Plus I already have Snow White, Cinderella, and Tiana all wrapped up into one." Derek stuck his tongue out at his friend playfully before chuckling and turning his attention to the bar out in front of him. The twenty year old mutant worked there during the day in the coffee shop section. It was usefully peaceful when he worked and the perfect place for people to go for first dates.
"...Thank you and you're right, I shouldn't be puttin' him on a pedestal," Derek paused, "he is a little dense about how attractive he is. Maybe he doesn't want to actively draw too much attention to his good looks. I know if I was him, I wouldn't need to." Derek shrugged his shoulders and wrapped his hands around the base of the glass that was just slid over to him. "Thank you, Jace."
Derek raised his eyebrows at Artair. Did he know Kendra too? Did Xavia mention her to him? "Yep! From Georgia? That's the one." Derek liked Kendra. She was really nice to Derek and even featured him in an article for her magazine down in Georgia. He gave a little wiggle before sucking on his draw to get a taste of the sweet fruity smoothie that awaited him.
When Artair suggested that he cute loose, Derek scoffed. "Me? Cut loose? Impossible. I don't really party like that and this is my second time comin' to his bar as a customer." Derek took out his phone from his pocket and placed it on the counter top. His eyes flickered to the guy he was checking out earlier. The mutant smiled and looked away to his friend.. "Maybe there is...maybe there ain't, wingman."

"...Is that what you call him? 'Devon t'e Adonis'?" He teased with a sly grin on his face. She was right, Devon was an Adonis, but so was Aleksandr. Derek huffed. "I shouldn't be having this problem. This isn't high school..." Derek adjusted himself before closing his eyes and leaning back against the black leather of the town car.

Derek gave Xavia the side eye with a smile on his face. He wasn't going to give up on her so quickly. He had to keep begging her about what happened until she either turned him into a tree or gave in. He was betting on the latter. Derek listened to Allegra and Xavia talk about clothes.
Truthfully, Clothes wasn't something he absolutely loved above all else. Derek would take the woods any day. He even thought about going nude and just running through the forest. Though, if he did that, Derek would run into some problems.
"Some thin's don't even have tags on." Derek chimed in.

"...Are you sure?" Derek asked with a raised eyebrow, "I don't mind goin' ahead and doin' it." Though, going tomorrow when both of them were well rested would be better. The older mutant still gave Donahue a grin. "It's up to you, man. I can do it either way." Derek offered after a couple of seconds of silence.

Derek playfully rolled his eyes, "but 'em sheets, walls, and mattress now what happened." If Derek could talk to inanimate objects, he was sure that he could get some juicy details. Derek was about to say something smart to Artair, but stopped when he brought up men.
"...Don't try and flip the script on me, Meirda." Derek motioned for another drink to Jace, the bartender. In response he got a head nod. "To answer your question, Zeus probably isn't even thinkin' about me. He could have anyone at Haven or in the world. Why settle for...me?" Derek scoffed and stared down into his drink. He knew his chances with Devon was slim to none, "I have more of a chance with Kendra than I do with him."
The mutant glanced around the bar and watched one of the guys dance. He had blue skin, glowing white eyes, and white hair. Derek felt an immediate attraction and looked away. "But yeah, no way."

"I could," Derek shrugged his shoulders. He already had a couple of connections with the wildlife in New York City including the fox that was currently crashing at his apartment, "I kind of already have? But they just don't show up when I need them." Yes, they did. Derek just didn't fully know it.
Max's powers could do a lot of help and damage depending on who was the target. The mutant looked over at Max when he asked him how he got drawn to Haven. He couldn't blatantly say that it was because Zeus' hotness influenced him. That would seem shallow. Instead, he told him his other reason.
"Any organization that tramples on bigotry, hatred, misogyny, I want to be apart of," Derek chewed on his lower lip. He wasn't sure if Max was a full member either so he just hinted saying, "...and...mutants especially need help," he whispered hazardously. Hopefully this didn't set of the telepathy alarm, "y'know?"

Derek was heartbroken. He was completely destroyed by the no longer being able to love on someone who wanted to love on him back. Derek fought back a frown and instead indulged himself with the fruity smoothie that was in front of him. He was glad this wasn't alcohol, otherwise, Allegra would see a totally different side to him.
"...A what?" Derek blinked. Did she just say that she bought a $3,000 dollar diamond necklace. Derek blinked again and shook his head. "Damn, still! It's...even if it was a gift, that's a still a lot of money." Derek had no idea what exactly to say to her so he just shook his head.
"Dare. Let's mix things up."

"Yes, sir," Derek took in a deep breath and rolled his neck around to get it more stressed out. Ranger was teaching him a lot of things that he could certainly learn a thing or two from him. With strength and might at Ranger's beck and Victoria, he was a considerable foe. He didn't know to what extent Ranger's powers were, but he was sure that he could move mountains.
Derek was so much into his train of thought that he jumped when Ranger slapped him with his own hand. "Ah!" He flinched again, "stop that!" Derek tried to keep his hands under control by pushing back on Ranger. Then he remembered what he said and pushed back where the thumb and fingers met and nearly fell backwards.
"...oh, that worked."

"Well, he's the founder of a very helpful organization and," Derek sighed and shook his head, "he's handsome and kind hearted... he's just amazin'." Derek shrugged his shoulders and looked down at his lap. "Stupid, right? Like I would have a chance like him."
Derek huffed. He had problems with his self esteem and unfortunately that was showing. The twenty year old picked up his phone and looked it over in silence. "I'm cravin' Cuban food."

Derek snorted and nodded his head, "thank you, Artair." He gave him a kind smile, then looked down at the fox. He wanted to make sure she was okay before dropping her back at the park. However, the fox had other plans. After that the town car pulled up, all three of them got inside and headed back to the Haven to report what they saw.

The mutant on the other side of the car started to bust out laughing. He loved messing with Xavia about, well, anything! She got redder than a rose. He slowly started to calm down when Xavia hugged his arm, "awww," he cooed playfully at her. "And me and Mr. Naga are doing just fine," he stuck his tongue out at her.
Derek could feel himself getting hungry. Maybe he might eat both his burger and Chinese food in one sitting. Derek glanced over at Xavia and watched the interaction. He bit his lip and sighed, "I'm torn, Xavia. Between someone I know has a thin' for me and...an Zeus."

"Aw! He sounds great!"[/color] Derek smiled over at Allegra, "I remember when you had that little crush on me. It was so cute." He reached over and bopped Allegra's nose playfully. Derek knew Allegra's problem with visible mutations. He was hoping that she was dealing with that especially with the guy he was currently talking to. She might even have a heart attack. "And it's a gift." He smiled to himself as he closed his eyes.
Soon the workers came in and started to work on their feet. Derek chewed his lip in thought. Although he liked Aleksandr, he knew that he liked to have fun. He was flirt and Derek could tell that he didn't want to be tied down right now. On the other hand, there was..Zeus. Derek sighed and closed his eyes [/font]

"I bet he is a sweet man after giving you that good-good." Derek snorted and slowly pulled his phone out to check for text messages. He had one and quickly responded to it, but not too quickly. He didn't want to give Xavia the benefit of the doubt.
He chewed his bottom lip and scrolled through his contacts for another number under the name of "Zeus". Derek's fingers started to type a message, but decided against it. Instead, he put his phone beside him and relaxed. "...What does he smell like?"

Derek looked over at Leon and bit his lip. At least he was trying to make conversation with Derek. "No, no, you're fine. Sometimes I talk to much." The African American mutant smiled softly at him before turning his attention to the rations that was given to him.
"Thank you," he smiled again and picked them out from the ground. He opened them to find a can of beans and six hotdogs. Derek looked over at Leon when he started talking about their lack of water. He quickly went over to pick up the map and search for a river. "Yep, there's one by our original campsite." Derek looked up at Leon. "Want me to go get it?"

"Not yet, but I will tomorrow." Derek had scheduled bar time with Artair a week back so if he wasn't going to get the information he needed from her, then he'd just have to get the Scotsman drunk. However, he know much of a feat that alone would be seeing as Europeans could hold their alcohol. No matter, Derek had sent out bats to watch over Xavia and the two nesting twins. Though, he doubt either of them knew that they were being watched.
Derek slid his eyes over to Xavia and tried to hold back a smile. He walked out of the hospital and down the sidewalk until he came into the towncar. After getting in first, he buckled himself in and sighed.
"...I have no idea what you're talkin' about. What 'fellow'?" Derek wasn't texting a fellow. More like a serpentine man of hotness who had a really large...tail. "You seein' thin's, girl." He told the driver the restaurant and sat back.
