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 shrugged his shoulders coyly and chewed on his bottom lip, "Well, thank you. I try to help where I can," Derek watched as Donahue's entire expression changed from somewhat joyous to saddened. Hearing, him talk about his mom made him feel a little homestick. Clearing his throay, he reached across the table and tapped his finger against his hand.
"Hey, it's okay. You can talk about her if you want or if you don't. I'm not gonna force anythin' out of you." Derek explained with a kind smile. He slowly retracted his hand and continued eating.

Derek laughed with him. The kid wasn't that bad. In all honesty, Derek was happy that he was the one that Don was about to pickpocket. If he hadn't been there at that exact moment, then Don would've ended up with just a few bucks or a beat down.
"Mm.."!Derek stared a bit Donahue before eating more chicken. "Yep! I'm from North Carolina. How is m'attitude?" Derek asked, raising an eyebrow at Don. He was amused by Don's meaning.

Derek chuckled at Aleksandr's response. "Not gonna lie, I would do the same thing if I was half human half...anything really. If I was half serpent, I'd only wear a t-shirt and that's all." Though his thoughts were worthy of a Cinnamon Roll, Derek's body had other plans. He tried himself before down, but it was definitely hard to do so.
"...Two hands?" Derek gulped, "two hands like," he lifted his hands and curled his fingers as if he was grabbing something, "or to hands as in...the other kind?" Poor Derek's eyes were open and filled with genuine curiosity.
"Ah..." Derek was in awe of Aleksandr's anotomy. He tried to look over the table to get a better look, but it was done in vain. "I-I'd love to study your body closer. It's really interesting."

Derek smirked, "I can drink to that. I feel like someone's about to make an announcement or somethin'." Derek shrugged his shoulders and finished off his fruit drink before ordering another. He made had an addiction, but it's totally worth it. After a bit of tome here, he was sure that he would feel more relaxed.
Darkshift also dealt with animals? Cool! Derek was defiantly interested to see what she was capable of. "Sure! I'm excited to see what you can do." And he meant that. Derek turned his body toward Darkshift to get a better view.

Derek watched Don eat. With a chuckle, he spoke, "hey, slow down. You don't want to get a stomach ache now do ya?" He asked with a grin. Derek himself ate like that in the privacy of his bedroom.
"So, tell me, Don, where are you from? Were you born here or did you move?" Getting to know his lunch campnion was important. Derek needed to know enough so that he could make sure he had everything he need when going to the shelter.

Derek frowned a bit when Aleksandr told him that it could get lonely for him since he was the only one on his floor. Derek was about to comfort him until he got blindsided by the added statement. "...Oh! That's...always good," Derek paused, "but aren't you always naked? Unless you're wearing clothes right now that I can't see."
Unknown to the Tempting Snake's nasty thoughts, Derek took a bite out of his cookie. That was also good and gooey. He loved gooey things. "I'm sure you don't behave yourself." That was supposed to be a thought. Derek's face was so hot that someone could fry an egg on it. "Sorry, that was inappropriate." Derek shook his head and gave himself a mental facepalm. He tried not to look to flustered.
Aleksandr certainly had a way with words, "uh, some questions now and the rest later." Derek took a sip of his coffee. "So how does your anatomy and physiology work?"

"I guess because humans are afraid of what they don't understand so they make up lies about places." Derek really didn't know much about Sanctuary, but he did know the lies that could be easily spread because it was mutant friendly. "At any rate I hope the rumors aren't true."
Derek smiled, "well, thank you." Just then their food arrived. Derek took in a deep breath and rubbed his hands together. "All of it looks good." Derek picked up his fork and started to eat his fried rice. After he swallowed, he looked at Don. "How do you like it?"

Derek felt a body plop down next to his and turned to see Xavia. "Hey! You Okay? You sounded a bit tense on the phone. Is it the baby?" He asked, raising his hips from the coushin of the couch. He slid his phone back into his pocket before relaxing. "If so, this is exactly what you need. Allegra should be here soon to join us."
The male mutant couldn't wait to spend time with his two favorite females. It'll be interesting to see how Xavia and Allegra interact. Derek prayed that it would go well, "it's been two weeks since we've really got the chance to talk. So much to catch up on."[/colot]

Derek moaned, "caramelizar onions smell the best! I love it so much!"He could feel his mouth start to water. After raining off the onion and grabbing a second cutting board, Derek took a snide and started to cut the onion. Rinsing it off first helped with his eyes tearing up. He made sure to make long strips like Jude instructed him to do.
Cooking was certainly therapeutic to most people and that included Derek. It was just something about bringing different ingredients together to make something tasty. A smile graced Derek's face as he made his way to cutting up the mushrooms.
"Oh? Well, I'm glad! I like cooking and vegetables make great side dishes." Derek shrugged his shoulders cutely and went back to cutting.
When the conversation turned to him, Derek was a bit taken off guard. He blushed a bit at Jude's compliment. "Well I was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina. I'm twenty years old and, ah, a mutant." When Derek's mind, there wasn't much to him, "I guess that's it."

"Well, yes, but it's a haven for mutants who have no where else to go. I just want you to spend the night there to get some rest," Derek had the same thing about Sanctuary, but never believed it, though it was very compelling, "then tomorrow we can see what you want to do. Being a mutant, you have options." Derek nodded his head, "that's okay. I'll make sure to give you my number just in case."
"Me? Well I can communicate and influence the behavior of animals. Nothing flashy or anythin' like that."[/color{

Derek chuckled a bit, "well, that must be that I'm good at pretendin'. I never been to a place like this before. It's so...high class." Derek gave a look around the room before turning his attention back on Darkshift. ]"Thank you for the compliment, though. It really means a lot." Derek took another gulp of his strawberry daiquiri. Unfortunately he wasn't able to drink alcohol yet so he had to settle for virgin...everything.
"I can communicate and influence the behavior of animals. I know Disney Prince sounds lame," he chuckled again, "what about you? What can you do?"

"...That's true." He chuckled and studied his face from the opposite side of the table. What were the odds that Derek would run into a homeless mutant on his way to buy clothes. At that thought he had to chuckle to himself and shake his head.
Derek nodded his head as he listened to Don tell him about his mutation, "that's very interestin', Don," And he was sure that he could be a problem if it wasn't handle properly. He took a sip of his water and smiled warmly, "...There's this place called ' Sanctuary '. It's a homeless shelter for mutants. I think we can get you in. I can get you in. Do you have a phone?" Derek would make sure that Donahue was safe and sound before the day would end.

This was definitely not part of the training, that was obvious. Although if this was a mutant, then they were in some major trouble. Derek hadn't known Artair long- not even a full day- but he felt like he could trust him. This may very well be a flaw of his, but now it was working in his favor.
"She won't. She knows that cars make her go splat." Derek looked over at fix hurrying along beside him. She glanced up at Derek and responded with a yelp. "See?" He looked over at a worried Artair.
They continued observing the time tear that had formed in and around the park. Chills ran up and down his spin off and on as they walked. His attention was caught by a small crowd oozing aggression. This must be what Artair had originally planned.
Bigots? Well, Derek wasn't a fan of ignorant a--holes. "Let me help," the fox yelped, "us help. We're a team, Artair."[/color

"Orange chicken sounds good. I tried makin' it at home, but it never turns out the way I want it to." That's one thing Derek hated about trying to mimic dishes was that they never got it to taste the same as the real thing in restaurant. Honestly, that's why he only cooked dishes that he knew he could prefect. "Sure, get what you want, I don't mind." Derek smiled and looked over the menu again before finalizing his meal.
When the waitress came over and retrieved their order, Derek turned back to Donahue. "So, what, ah, can you do?"

Well, that was easier than expected. So he was a mutant. That would make things a lot easier and simpler for Derek. With a smile, Derek took a sip of his water. "I'm glad to hear it. I'm a mutant too and I want to help you. You shouldn't be sleepin' on the ground or be homeless." Derek knew that he wouldn't want that for himself. He smiled a bit more before turning his attention down to his menu.
"I'm thinkin' about getting the sweet and sour chicken with shrimp fried rice and maybe a spring roll. What about yourself? You can have anything on the menu." Derek wanted to make sure he was full and content before getting up from the table.
