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 didn't move until he knew that the threat had passed. Though, when Artair came to touch him, the darker skinned mutant flinched. He quickly calmed down after he realized who it was. He usually uncurled himself and took his hand, standing up. Derek panted and rested his hands down on his knees.
"T-thank you. One of 'em tried to get ya from the back. I couldn't let that happen," he explained with a smirked. Derek finally stood up straight and looked at Artair. He studied his face before glancing down at the limp bodies around him. There was also specs of blood in various places. Derek tried to take his advice about not beating himself up, but it was hard. His job was to keep the guys away from Artair, he only half achieve that.
"I-I think I made one guy go blind. I didn't mean it. Like you said, bigots like them have done worse to people like us. We have to be better," he searched for the fox who was limping toward the thug that kicked her and started to lap up his blood. Derek chuckled lightly and shook his head. "Though sometimes I want them to suffer...hurt, bleed," Derek sniffed and clicked in the fox's direction. She turned her head and made her way toward Derek. Scooping her up in his arms, the mutant smiled, "good job." She yelped.
"What now? Do we report this to the police?" He asked Artair. The pain was starting to set in. Yep, he'll definitely be feeling that in the morning.

Derek looked over at Xavia and chuckled. All he could do was shake his head and open up the bag of Fritos. "...question. If someone were to plant you in the ground, only give you sunlight and water, could you survive?" Derek knew that Xavia wasn't an actual plant, but sometimes mutants had weird adaptations that allowed them to survive in certain conditions that others can't.
His phone beeped and Derek quickly took it out to respond to the text. "Y'know, you and Mierda should come by sometime. We can all hang out of somethin'."

"...and so that's when I made sure he had enough to eat and took him to Sanctuary . I plan on checkin' on the kid tomorrow," Derek was telling Artair about his run in with a homeless mutant that tried to pickpocket him. The kid's name was Donahue and had been living on the streets for a few years. Derek was proud of himself for stepping in and helping a fellow mutant. Something that Haven advocated about all else.
Artair and Derek had rode in a town car together from Haven to X-Gene Persuasion. Derek had decided fo wear a white t-shirt with green palm leaves and blue jeans. He kept his leather jacket in the backseat of rhe cab since it was a warm night.
Now they sat at the bar watching mutants dance and talk amongst themselves. Derek sucked down his third wild berry daiquiri, "but enough about me, tell me how Xavia's lips felt against yours when you kissed her,"'of course Derek knew the details from Xavia, but he wanted to hear it from the Scot's mouth, "did she taste like nectar? When's the second date?"

"No, no, it's not you. It's just that," Derek huffed and looked up at Aleksandr. He has been nice to him the entire night. There was no reason for Derek to act this way. "I over complicate thin's. It's a fatal flaw of mine. Sometimes I project into the future o-or do crazy s---." Derek cleared his throat and looked down at his chest.
"...I hope I haven't made thin's weird or make this night go sour," Derek looked back up again and tried by a smile, "you're also a pretty great kisser? It was a little different, but...good."

Derek shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "we're mutants, we have to look out for each other. Plus, there was no way that I was leavin' you out on the street to strave." He poked his shoulder before walking toward it. Derek looked up at the red roof and smiled to himself.
"This also doubles as a community center so there will be plenty of things for you to do here," Derek explained. He opened the door to the center and walked to the front desk. He signed himself in, then asked for a clipboard, info sheet and pen. Once he retrieved those items, he handed them to Donahue.
"Here, just so they know some things about you. Sanctuary is currently under Haven leadership and since I'm part of Haven, I think I'll like to, y'know, be a helpin' hand. Derek shrugged his shoulders and smiled some at Don. "Would you be okay with that?"

So, Derek made the phone call. He has to admit that the perks of being in the Haven went beyond the parties and luxury. After he made the call, he responded to a text from Aleksandr and stuffed his phone back into his pocket.
"Ugh, fine,"'Derek playfully rolled his eyes, "we can get Chinese food. Plus I could use somethin' to eat later on in the day." Although Derek had brought up the pregnancy cravings, he was not down for watching Xavia shovel olives and ice cream into her stomach. He could only handle so much.
Now in the town car, Derek relaxed and told the driver the address. With a sigh, pulled out his phone and started texting again. "So what's the name of the resturant we're going to again?"

Derek smiled when Jude started speaking French. It was such a beautiful langauge. He watched Jude cook before turning his attention down to the kitchen floor. Derek was learning Spanish and always wanted to learn German. However, he doubt that he would get the chance to use the latter.
"What about cookin'? You seemed to really enjoy doin' that."Derek accidentally bit the inside of his cheek, but was smart enough to cover it. "Or at least helpin' klutz like me pick up bulb veggies."He teased with a grin.
The meat in the oven started to scent the kitchen. God, it seemed good. Better than what he had anticipated .

Derek watched the entire scene, happy that the dog got his vengeance on the mutant who stressing him out. Good for him. Derek whistled, signaling for the squrriels to stop. Once the did, they hurried to the nearest tree to continue their day. Now, Derek's method wasn't the best and not very Haven-ish, but it was necessary.
He made his way over to the fallen man with his hands folded over his chest. The ends of his cardigan flowing behind him.
"I'm sorry about that, sir, but that dog wasn't enjoyin' himself," he glanced at the wound and cheered on his bottom lip. "...you should get that checked out."[/color

Derek smiled when he felt his hand be engulfed by Leon. He knew from conversing with animals that sometimes they needed space. The same thing going for humans and mutants. Showing people respect and keeping one's distance was essential to building trust and building bonds.
"It's nice to officially meet you, Leon." He smiled more before slowly letting go of his hand. He turned his attention to the fire and smiled to himself. Derek watched as the flames danced about, illuminating the two mutants.
"...my favorite season is Autumn. There's just something special about the changin' of the leaves, the festivities, the food," he smirked, looking down at the ground in thought, "What about you? What's your favorite season? Winter?"

"Hmm," Derek had to think on this one, "Well I started to communicate with animals around eleven/twelve years old, but I actually started to influence at age sixteen."That was a confusing time Derek especially since it concerned his identity. With being gay and all, it was a lot for a teenager to handle at once,"...yeah. I was sixteen because that was the same summer that my first boyfriend moved away."[/font]
Derek felt like he should be sipping coffee or wearing a suit or something . The African American mutant chuckled at the thought. "As for using my powers to help someone? I have. Uh, one time when my neighbor's dog went missin', I had a couple of blue jays go look for her. Of course it took them some convincin', but luckily they were able to find her."[/font] He remembered that day because it was a very hot August afternoon and Derek was home alone [/font]

His first boyfriend? Well, that made Derek blush just thinking about him. "My first boyfriend, oh God."He chewed on his bottom lip in thought. The mutant took a few gulps of his smoothie and decided to pour himself another refill. "Okay. His name was Jake Carmichael. Cute twink with curly brown hair, green eyes, and honey skin. We were so into eachother. We met at church, actually. We snuck around after Sunday school and choir rehearsal." He sighed in memory. "Then a week after junior year he moved to Ohio."
Derek looked to Allegra, "truth or dare?"

Derek nodded his head slowly as he listened to Aleksandr describe his eating habits. "That's very interestin', Aleksandr. Now, with your prey do you...strike quickly and injectin' a paralyzin' dosage of venom or you more of a lay and wait type until they get close enough to cool around and suffocate?"
Aleksandr definitely had Derek's attention. The way he held his chin and the way he spoke with his thick Russian accent. The way he did everything made his knees feel week. "Body langua--?" Derek was cut short by the serpent's lips against his. An involuntary moan escaped his lips as his hands reached up and placed themselves on either side of his neck and kissed him deeper.
The longer he kissed him, the quicker the ends of his fingers throbbed. Unfortunately thoughts just to sink into his brain and he forced himself to pull away. Derek slowly slid his hands down from Aleksandr's neck to his chest. He rested his forehead in between his hands and let out a shuddered breath.
"D-don't tease me, please." He pleaded in a whisper, closing his eyes, "don't play with my emotions..." Derek had been down the path before and it didn't feel good.

Derek laughed at Xavia's pregnancy cravings and shook his head. "Alright, alright, let's see what we can do. Let's get you a veggie burger with no cheese for you. I love my meat so I'm gettin' a double cheeseburger with fries and...maybe a Oreo shake." God, that made the writer's mouth water. Derek wrapped his arm around Xavia's shoulders and smiled. For the babies' sake, he hoped that the son of a bi*** had good genes.
"Do you want me to call a Haven towncar? They should be here in ten minutes if I do." Derek took his phone out of his pocket and started to dial the number.

Derek stared at Leon from between the flames. He never met someone who hated themselves this much. Granted, his reason was "valid" with his deathly poisonous quills and all, but everyone in the Mansion could be considered "dangerous". He hoped that somewhere somehow Leon got help with his self esteem.
He continued to stare at him before slowly getting up and making his way around the fire. His eyes were trained on the ground, "checking" it for spines before taking a seat a foot away from Leon. Derek looked over at Leon and offered him his hand.
"Will a handshake kill me?" He asked quietly, the flames of the campfire dances across his dark skin.
