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 studied Mercury for a bit. He truly wondered what his middle name was. With a click of his tongue, he guessed again, "Charles? Antony? Tiberius?" he offered, "can I at least get the first letter?" The twenty year old. He noticed him play with a strand of his purple hair. That was interesting.
"Nah, twenty-five isn't old. Not in my opinion." Derek smiled and studied him closely. So he was pansexual, then? That was good to know. "Nice," he smiled some and studied Mercury's face, "I'm of an...animalia persuasion." He paused after a while.
"Maybe I can we get dinner sometime? I usually don't do this, but I feel like I'm readin' your signals right." He gestured to the water behind them.

"Of course! Anythin' you want, honey." Derek beamed happily.
While he was relaxing, he heard Xavia's stomach growl and smirked, "someone's hungry." Derek looked over at her and laughed a bit. "Are you hungry, too, Allegra?"

"Of course, but nothin's gonna happen to you. You have too many people on your side for that to happen." He explained with a grin, "I'm also curious to find out whether their mutants or not. Either way I'll love them anyway." Derek leaned back in his seat and studied her face. "What are you gonna do after this? After we get Chinese, too. Oh, and maybe doughnuts."

"Uh," Derek looked in the oven when Jude did, then check the clock on the oven, "just five more minutes, I believe," he answered. The smell that came from the oven made Derek very, very happy and very, very hungry. The twenty year old checked the fridge for heavy whipping cream.
"Yep! We have that. Oh, if you want, we can make chocolate chip cookies." Derek loved making cookies back home. He loved cooking period.
At Jude's question, he turned around to look at him, "I just like cookin' and I was cravin' some lamb."

Derek couldn't stop smiling as he showed Artair the text message. "Now what? Do I keep my options open or do I just wait?" Derek asked. Artair looked like the type of "lad" who knew what he was doing. The twenty year old huffed and looked at his best male friend.
"They're both real bonnies, y'know?" He huffed, slipping his phone back into his pocket. "Why is this so stressful?" Derek leaned against the side of the bar and studied Artair more. "...I want food. Do you want food?"

>> "But most places are slowly getting better, and I help where I can."[/i]
Derek nodded his head. That was good that Mercury was working for the tolerance of mutants, "I hear ya there. I'm tryna do the same thin'. I just wish that weren't so much bigotry, y'know?" Derek frowned a bit, but tried not to let it get to him too much.
He laughed a bit, "she sounds like a lovely woman." Derek bit his lip. This guy was really nice! "Mm...Poseidon? Neptune? Trident?" He guessed with a grin. "It has to be somethin' in that ball park."
"About myself? Uh, well, like I said earlier my name's Derek, I'm twenty years old. I'm a mutant and...I'm gay and...yeah." He shrugged his shoulders with a grin, "and you?"

Derek laughed a bit at Allegra and turned to look at his friend.
"It just feels...weird being a girl. I'm shorter and have a higher voice," he looked at his nails, then down at his body. He was about to say something else, but was cut off by another seizure.
The twenty year old stopped shaking and dead again. Soon his body changed back to normal. With a gasp, he sat up, "...that could be useful later for a few minutes."

>> "The diversity of talents around is really quite inspiring, don't you think?[/font]
"I agree. I love seein' people embrace their mutations. Too many times mutants are told to hide who they are." Derek knew that personally with growing up in south where mutants are less accepted. Thankfully he grew up in a large city with plenty of diversity.
Mercury Fall? That name sounded very familiar, but he wasn't able to put a finger on it. Though, the one thing that did catch his attention was his name. "Mercury, huh? Named after the Roman god of trade and Commerce?" Derek had a thing for mythology ranging from the Greco-Roman gods to the Yoruba Orishas. He gently stroked his hand with his thumb before releasing his hand.

After Derek entered his bedroom once he came upstairs, he ran his fingers through Vix's fur while she was playfully swatting at the toy mouse that was on a string. "What? I know I smell like snake. There's a reason for that," he said out loud with a smirk on his face. Derek quickly stripped out of his clothes and put them in the hamper. Afterwards, he slipped on a pair of black basketball shorts and orange and pink Aztec print t-shirt. That and a pair of knee socks and slides, he headed out of his room.
With each step he took, he could feel his heart rate picking up. He was so nervous that he forgot which door was Aleksandr's. Though, thankfully when he got there, the door to the naga's room was open. "Hey, Aleskandr," he announced, "I'm comin'." He peeked his head in and smiled.
"The third floor isn't as different as I thought it would be." He stated, leaning against the door frame.

Derek blushed a bit. Did this guy flirting with him? Of course not, right? I mean, Derek thought that he was an average looking person. Granted he has attracted attention from guys that were out of his league. He watched as a couple of bees flew over and started to collect the nectar from the daisies and pansies that circled around the fountain.
"Oh, no. I was just...-- you caught my attention with you usin' your power." He answered with a coy shrug and his light southern accent. Derek slowly turned his hand upwards and watched as those same bees came and landed on his palm. This caused him to smile. "It's amazin'. I know another hydrokinetic." He smiled some and offered his hand.

Derek looked over his shoulder at Richard in thought, "Uhhh, I think that we should be okay. She shouldn't deliberately hurt us," the meese grunted in agreement, "see?"
>> "Derek it has been quite I day, I would not mind a drink, but how about Madam Meese here? What does she want? Also is she coming home with you?"
"Drinks sound good. Along with some onion rings or fries. Maybe fries. Or wings." Fries and wings sounded like the best option. "As for Madam Meese, I think --," the meese grunted, "oh, she says that she'll just come back here and 'chill'. She has other meese friends she hangs out with." Derek stated with a simple shrug.
"Though, it is nice knowin' that I have an alley. An animal alley."

Derek was going to the mall because he deserved to spend some money. His rent was paid for the month, he restocked the fridge of the third floor of the Honeycomb Co-op, he even donated five percent of his paycheck to a nonprofit mutant organization that helped homeless teenage mutants. So, yeah, he deserved to splurge a bit.
Dressed in a green tank top and white shorts, Derek got himself out of the Haven town car and headed toward the inside of the mall. As he was walking, he turned to look at a guy who was...using his hydrokinesis? He was about thirty feet away so he wasn't too sure. The twenty year old made his way over to the man with a small smile on his face and sat down on the edge of the fountain. Because he was usually indirect, all Derek did was study the flowers for a second. They looked like daisies and perhaps pansies? He wasn't too sure. Xavia would know, though.
Clearing his throat, Derek slowly turned to look over at the man. "Beautiful day out, huh?"

"Good," Derek smiled down at Don. He was more than happy to find that he had a comfortable night at the Sanctuary.
The twenty year old told the driver to go ahead and take them to the mail. As they started to drive off, Derek looked over at Don with a smile on his face, "so, tell me about yourself, Donahue. What are your likes and dislikes."

"...We can go to your place since it's quiet there. Plus, my Vix is currently up and running around on the third." Vix was his little female fox friend that had helped out with him and Artair with a little mission they did.
After some time of walking, they were back at the Honeycomb Co-op. Derek was more than happy to snuggle with a giant sexy snake man especially if it meant some kissing and attention. As they walked up the stairs, Derek turned to look at Aleksandr. "I'm gonna change, then come back down. Is that okay?" He asked. He wanted to put on something that was a little more comfortable than the leather jacket, blue jeans, and t-shirt he was wearing.

Derek chuckled at Devon's impersonation of a bear. He placed his plate to the side too and raised his by the sides of his head to make dog ears. "Nope, it was a dog. A very aggressive dog. Bad owner." Derek chuckled more and lowered his hands into his lap. The twenty year old mutant wanted to take a picture of Devon doing that, but decided to save pictures for the second date. Derek scooped mac and cheese into his mouth ate.
As Devon explained what age he used his powers, Derek nodded his head. He was really listening to what he had to say. Everything that came out of his mouth sounded like music to his ears.
"That's amazing! Being able to control the weather is...such a powerful mutation to have," Derek smiled more, "I know you don't usually do it, but can I see you...y'know? Make a cloud or somethin'? If not, then that's okay. We can go on to talk about our favorite genre of music." Derek was sure that classical would be on Devon's list.
