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.

"Yeah, I understand ya on that," Derek hadn't really thought about dating anyone since he got here. Of course there guys he found absolutely attractive, but none he wanted to date. "After things calm down I'm sure you'll reconsider." Derek smiled and went over to steal a green bean from the pan. He popped it into his mouth and moaned at the flavor. "This is really good, Jude. Awesome job!"
Derek's eyes knitted inward a bit at Jude's very explosive dating scene. "...Wait, you blew up the Mansion?!" Was that his power? Turning himself into a missile and firing at various buildings and girls? Derek had no idea, but was set on asking Jude about it.
"Start over, how did you 'accidently set off a missile?" Derek needed every single detail.

"Hm, sure! We can go shoppin' now for clothes if you want. I don't mind goin' now and pickin' out things you like. You're already signed in. All I have to do is turn in your app and you're good to go." Derek had planned on taking a nap once he got back to his apartment complex, but if Donahue still needed things, then he had no problem making sure his needs were met. After all, that was what being a Havenite was all about.
"Do you want to compose a list for me of things you need then we can go from there?" Derek asked with a warm smile.

Derek took a sip of his coffee and sighed. It was the perfect balance of sweetness and cream. He took another sip, this time it was a bigger, healthier one than before. With a subtle moan, Derek placed the cup back down on his lap and looked over at Kendra.
"Honestly? I would tell them that we should sit down and have a conversation. In my opinion, there's been a lot of problems with America. We don't want to talk about issues. We sweep it under the rug and pretend like it doesn't exist. That is until those issues grow and suddenly erupt from the rug and all over the place," Derek sighed and looked down at his mug, "but at the same time, ignorance should never be entertained."
She was staring at him for a while which made him feel like he had something on his face. Derek smiled politely at her and took another sip of his coffee. It was more so a gulp, but to him it was a sip.
"...Which part?" Derek asked, tilting his head to the side in question. "The part I purposely mumbled or what I just said?"

Because the man was his elder as well as a mutant, Derek took the man's hand and helped him up from the ground. Maybe Derek over reacted when he had the squirrels bite and claw at him. "...Sorry, sir, about the squirrels, but as a voice for animals, I have to step up for them. The dog wasn't really enjoyin' bein' messed with like that." Derek took his hand back once the man was back on his two feet.
"Uh, I'm Derek Menes, sir. Nice to meet you too, I guess." The twenty year old mutant awkwardly scratched the back of his neck and chewed on his bottom lip. The man didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that Derek had sent two rodents after him. At least Rhett wasn't a villain.
"Oh, yeah, very crazy. Are you a telepath or telekinetic?" Derek asked curiously with raised eyebrows. He didn't know what this man was capable of, but he knew that it had something to do with manipulation.

Well, damn, Jude was blunt with it. Yes, he liked other men. The only problem was if the other guys liked him back. He stood there awkwardly as beads of sweet started to form on his forehead and temples. Derek gulped and smiled some at Jude's teasing.
"Well, food is the way to a man's heart." He coyly shrugged his shoulders. He hadn't thought about the dropping something tactic. Derek might have to try that.
"And no, don't currently. You?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Derek assumed that he Jude was straight like most people were.

Primal slowly nodded his head and chuckled deeply. He moistened his lips and scanned over Khalil's face. He took a step toward the demon and glanced over his shoulder at his heynas. "Shaka and Oya." He answered, biting his lip. "You fly too? S---, why are you walkin'? About to devour a human? Take a sacrifice? I'm willin'."
The mutant sniffed and gently reached out lightly to touch Khalil's chin. "And you, Baby Boy, can all me 'Primal'."[/url]

"Aw, thank you," Derek took the mug from Kendra with a smile. He placed the cup in his lap and ran his thumb along the rim of the cup. He grabbed five creamers and seven sugars and began to dump the packets and little cubs of sweetener and soother in. He then grabbed the spoon and started to stir until he felt that it was well blended.
At Kendra's third question, Derek paused. He stayed quiet for a while before answering, "no and I say that because I don't have any physical mutations. If I had enlarged canines, orange eyes, and sharpened claws, then yeah, I would. It's the south. Discrimination is just somethin' that goes on there. In the major cities like Raleigh, Austin, ah, Atlanta, New Orleans it's less likely." Derek explained, "Im more so judged for bein' black than I am bein' a mutant simply because it's my outward experience."
Damn, Kendra was hittin' him with the hard questions. Derek stared down at his coffee, "I came to the Mansion because I found it to be a safe space. After an incident with someone and a dog, I realized that I needed help gettin' my powers under control," he took a breath, "as for the other questions, they don't know either."

"I can attest to that too," Derek laughed a bit and took in deep breath through his nose and just to take in the scent of the food that was cooking. Humans were interesting to watch, no wonder animals did it so often.
When Jude asked what X-Genes was. Derek was a little apprehensive about telling Jude because he didn't know what his stance was on the LGBT+ community. Being raised in the south, being gay was still has taboo as being a mutant. But since Jude didn't grow up in the US south, he took a leap to explain it to him. "...X-Gene is basically a gay bar."
"Oh, I am! I'm hopin' I am. I sent my application in, but I'm not sure I'm gettin' in." Derek really wished that he would be at NYU in the fall, but sometimes things didn't go as planned.

"Yeah. Well, you can rest up here and if you want, you can call me at this number," Derek jotted down his number on the end of the application and tore off the number and handed it to Donahue, "do you need me to do anything else for you while I'm here?" Derek didn't have any major plans for the rest of the day so he was basically in Don's call.

Derek blinked at Leon's answer. There was a clear destination between the four seasons. Perhaps he didn't want to talk? That was probably it. "Gotcha."
"...Can you hand me the rations? I'm starvin' and desperately need somethin' to eat." Derek hadn't eaten anything since lunch that day and it was now 8:30. He hoped that they were given enough food to sustain them for the night. Derek hadn't really thought about it, but this was his first time "camping" even though it was also a survival challenge. He smiled at that thought alone and got up to grab that pot that was in his bag. "We also need water."

Derek took the clipboard, pen, and info sheet and stood up. He gave a quick scan of his information before jerking his head to the side for Donahue to follow.
Although it was a homeless shelter, it looked fairly nice. Haven made sure that the shelter was up to par.
Going up a flight of stairs, Derek led Donahue to the residency rooms. He checked for an empty one and soon found one toward the end of the hall. He opened the door to expose a blank room with a bed, table, chair, window, and a place for clothes to go. "Tada! How do you like it?"

Jude had a point. There was something about cooking that made some people feel good. It was therapeutic to some while being a hobbie for others. For Derek, it was a little bit of both.
"Don't I know it," Derek had overburdened himself when it came to his jobs, Haven, friends, dates, and everything else in between. Not to mention there was a possibility that he was starting school in the Fall. The cinnamon roll mutant just had a lot going on. At least it kept him out of trouble for the most part.
"Uh, mostly go to Central Park, X-Genes, hang out with friends, watch Netflix. I'm startin' to get into herbology." Derek chewed on his lip and looked at Jude from the kitchen floor. "That's about it. Oh, and watch Binge on my day off."

"I dunno, I'm just curious. It seems like somethin' you'd be able to do." Derek smirked and took a chip out of his bag to throw at her. "The same way I can fall asleep in the middle of a forest and not get mauled. Probably. Maybe."
Derek laughed a bit at her reaction and ate a chip. Seems like he would have more than one togo box. "Good. Speaking of, how are things between you two?"

"Mm...maybe a year? My parents wondered why I felt so sad. They probably chalked it up to Jake leavin' since they knew that we were 'best friends'." Derek had stayed in touch with Jake from time to time, but hadn't recently out right talked to him.
"Truth?" Derek thought about this one. "What's the most expensive thin' you ever bought and how much was it?" This should be good.

Once they came out dressed in robes, Derek walked over to the center seat of five. He was going to get his hands and feet polished up. Derek stretched a bit before getting in the chair and leaning back. He rested his feet on the small foot rest in front of him.
When the other ladies came out, Derek looked over at Allegra and smirked, "while Ms. Rose n' pot over here is daydreaming about Artair, tell us about this guy you have a crush on." Derek had left his phone in the locker room so he could focus on the quality time he was spending with both Xavia and Allegra.
"Do spill."
