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.

She nodded as she listened to him speak. Similar to her, then. It was a long time ago - maybe it was time for them to settle down with someone. Maybe that was each other. She figured they'd find out, whether now or later on. She was going to enjoy it until he didn't want it anymore, at least.
She blushed as he kissed her cheek and at his kind words, "I'm glad we're here, too. I couldn't ask for much more right now, honestly." She leaned over and skipped his cheek, kissing his lips softly for a moment before leaning back.
She winked, "I'm a doctor. I'm trained to figure stuff out about people." She shrugged, a grin on her face. She was slightly joking - she wasn't a psychologist, after all. But, as a doctor, she was trained to look for things - lies, feelings, nervousness, happiness. It came with the job. It just happened to translate well into the real world. In either case, she figured she probably should tell him about at least one of or two of her dark secrets. That would be a good test to see if he was serious or not.
She, of course, would wait until she tell the waiter was coming though. She could say it right before he got here, that way he couldn't reply right away. He'd have to think about it. Maybe he'd want to stay, maybe he'd want to go. She wasn't sure. But, it wasn't long before she caught site of the server coming out with the food. "I have a kid who's 11 who lives at the mansion that I put up for adoption when I was in college. Also, a secretive government agency on the other side of the rip tried to force me into unethical research." She took a deep, long sip of wine as the waiter showed up.
"Bon apatite!" He placed the orders down in front of them and scurried off, leaving them alone together with the food. Now that she had that off her chest, she could know if he was serious or not. Plus, while he didn't have to know the details, he at least had an idea. Hell, he might not even believe her.

Zelda paused as she waited for him to respond to her situation. She bit her bottom lip, preparing for him to stand up and leave... But he didn't. He put his arm around her shoulder. A little surprised, she smiled softly as she still stared at the napkin. She leaned into him, sighing in relief. She nodded. They could definitely try. It would be worth trying, after all. Despite everything, everything happened for a reason. Maybe nothing else happened right so they could find each other. Maybe.
She smiled as she looked towards him, "Yeah... We can try, I... I really would love that." They could work through their secrets, right? Together, maybe they could even clean them out. Be fresh, without worry.
She let her hand go back and slip into his - she squeezed gently. She listened to him speak, carefully articulating her next words, "I'm kind of... The same." she took a sip of wine, "Hell, I haven't even been in a serious relationship in... A decade?" She sighed a little, "I... Wasn't expecting someone like you to show up in my life, honestly. I'm so glad you did." She wasn't even sure at this point. The last one was a disaster, so why try again? Until him, at least. He just made her feel a certain kind of way. She gave him a soft smile, "We can be more."
Boom! Confidence! She turned a little red and took a sip of her wine.

Zelda smiled as she waited for him to answer her question. She listened to him, her eyes unwavering from his face as he confessed to... Wanting something more serious? Or a hook up situation? Zelda was taken aback for a moment, unprepared for the sudden question. After all, she did want something long term with him... But was she really ready for it? It wasn't really her, but would he want to be with her when he knows about her... Interesting past? She had secrets, secrets that could theoretically put him in danger.
Or was that just excuses for not being afraid of being in a relationship with someone? It had been years since she had been in a serious relationship. Her last one was when she was still in college, when... Other things, happened.
She looked towards her wine glass as she thought about her answer, probably taking a little too long. "I..." She sighed, honesty was probably the best answer. "I would like for something more... Serious." She paused, carefully figuring out the best way to phrase her next words, "But... I have secrets. I have bad things following me. I... I don't know." She took her hands and started folding a napkin, just to do something with her hands. Her cheeks were red hot as she stared. She didn't want to screw things up with Jay, but she didn't want him to get stuck with her with all the baggage. "I really, really like you, Jay."

Zelda smiled towards Jay as she explained some of the menu options that she thought he might like. After all, she did want him to enjoy his meal. Although, she could tell he was new to this kind of dining establishment. She sat so she was practically leaned against him. She nodded at his choice, "Good choice." She confirmed, setting the menu down. The waiter had already poured them both a glass of the wine, apparently when they weren't paying attention. She smiled as she handed his to him and she held hers, "Too us." She smiled as she clicked her drink on his, taking a sip.
Us. That was something she wasn't prepared to say, so she immediately blushed a little. She cleared her throat, "It's a fancy place, but don't be nervous. Everyone here is people, with their own f*ck ups and good deeds." She squeezed his hand. He seemed nervous, more so after they had decided on the meal. Listening to him sigh, she wondered if it was more than just this place. "Something on your mi-," the waiter appeared, ready to take their order.
After a few moments, there orders were placed and Zelda still didn't leave his side of the booth. She was pretty comfortable here and she hoped he didn't mind - it wasn't like they were having issues with personal space to begin with. "Now, though? It'll probably be a little while before the food gets done."

Zelda smiled as she stared into his eyes, waiting for a response to her offer for assistance. She simply dazed into his eyes. Daydreaming about the potential future would be nice. If they had a future, at least. He might run at her more dirtier secrets, but at least she could enjoy his company for now. Live in the moment, right?
She smiled sweetly and giggled, "No worries. It's okay, I understand." She pulled the menu and went to sit on his side so she could show him some of the meals. "So, if you like chicken related stuff, you'd probably enjoy... chicken marsala. If you're looking for more Americany yet Italian, the Italian baked chicken and pastini is a good choice, too." She looked through the menu some more as she pointed at several of the entrees, "if you really like tomatos, chicken caciatore is pretty good, too." She perked a brow to see if any of it seemed to strike his interest, "I think the chicken and pastini is a good choice for you. It'll be familiar enough I'm sure you'll like it but different enough that it wont' come as a shock. Unless, you know, you want to just try something random."
Since she was on his side, she gave his hand a squeeze. It was probably out of his element. It really wasn't a place Zelda expected to find herself, but living in California in a prestige medical degree program full of rich kids taught her about the finer things in life.

Zelda smiled as they walked towards the Italian restaurant. It was enjoyable - not just for the physical touch, but the connection they had was tremendous. It wasn't every day that two people met that had the kind of connection they had. Granted, they were just really starting to know each other. They might secretly be crazy different people, but despite the secrets and potential secrets, they might could move past them. It was something she was deeply thinking about ever since they first met.
Once they were in the restaurant, Zelda ordered a wine plus a coke. After all, water didn't taste great with Italian, at least to her. Water may have been some peoples choice, but not her. She gave him a grin as he mentioned a chicken parm. She perked a brow, unsure if that was really true. He didn't really seem like the kind of guy to go to these kind of restaurants - after all, his choice of shoes plus outfit kinda showed that. She put down the menu, already deciding on gnocchetti di ricotta. A delicious dish. She placed her head in her hands and stared back at him, her eyes locked onto his.
She wondered what kind of story he had. How fate had brought them together. She sighed contently with a small smile, "Well... Do you need any help with the menu? I don't think the ordinary person would even know half of these dishes. H*ll, I don't even know most of them."

She nodded, "I heard that as well, but I haven't met her just yet." While Zelda was happy to see Sveta alive and well, it was strange. Only a few months before and she was a doctor, working on secret research. She was a kidnapped, forced to work for SUPER, in a secret branch of the CIA from a parallel universe. How strange the world worked.
>> "Kids are flexible. I am sure he will be fine."
She nodded her agreement, although clearly still worried. He was adjusting but what if he was pretending to her? Kids did that sometimes. Acted like they were okay but slowly fell apart. Fell into drugs and crimes... Okay, maybe Zelda was overreacting a little bit. But being a mom was not in her plans, really ever. And yet, here she was. Suddenly.
She sighed, thinking about her employment history. "Yeah... I work here now, actually. Genetics & Biology." She sighed again, "I don't blame you... I took some time off. I had to take my mother back to Oklahoma, so we spent some time there. Recouped. She's still... Recovering. Nate helped me out here and kind of just... Starting over. They finally just... Left me alone. For now, at least."

She gave him a weak smile. That was pretty sad, but it was probably better for them to move on to different topics. After all, she didn't want to depress him on their date. This was a serious thing and she really, really did not want to mess it up. She nodded as he talked, "I understand. It can be hard as a kid moving around like that." She did find a street parking, but it was about a block away from the establishment. She slipped her jacket on and hopped out of the car. Once he was out, she locked the doors.
As they walked to the Italian restaurant, she leaned against him, letting their bodies just barely touch. She really couldn't keep her hands off of him. "Well, looks like we have a block. A good compromise, right?" She winked as she led them to the restaurant, where they entered. It was a pretty fancy place - clearly high dining, expensive. Lots of wine imported from Italy floated around, with the sweet smell of lasagna, spaghetti, and other Italian delights. Zelda wasn't sure what she was going to get, but at least they had a menu for that.
"Um, just 2, please." She smiled towards the server as he led them to their table, where she slipped and opened a menu. After a few moments, she perked a brow towards Jay, "What are you going to get?"

Zelda gave him a flirtatious look, with a small giggle. He was a sweet guy, that was for sure. Flirty, definitely - just the way Zelda liked it.
A Georgia kid? That was interesting. He definitely didn't seem like a Georgia kid. She nodded as she listened though. His mom had passed away and was buried here and a frown crossed her face. Zelda would be devastated if her mother died. Granted, her mom was in Oklahoma right now. She wasn't sure when she'd bring her back, but she knew that she was safer there for now. Probably would be fine now, but can never be too careful.
"I'm sorry to hear about your mom," she gave his hand a squeeze before moving on to a different topic, "I'm originally from Oklahoma. Lived in California for school. Ended up here to a job offer." She gave him a smile, "Yeah, mine as well stick around." She stuck her tongue out playfully, "We're almost there... Hopefully we can find some street parking."

She chuckled. She was a scientist, not a linguist, after all. Granted, she always told herself she'd learn Spanish - but never has. At least he could respect that.
Once in the car, he must have thought exactly what she was thinking - time for some kissing. She quickly leaned in for the kiss, enjoying the passion that seemed to radiate from the two of them while there lips were engaged. She let her head softly trail his cheek, her eyes closed. Zelda wasn't sure how long the kiss was but she didn't want it to end.
They did need to get to the restaurateur before they would be considered jerks for coming in 30 minutes before closing, so Zelda slowly slipped back into her seat. She smiled towards him and gave him a wink, "We'll have all night for that." She cranked the car up and drove them to the restaurant.
In the car ride, Zelda reached over and held his hand. Maybe she could ask some questions about his childhood or something on the way there - traffic wasn't the best, even at this time in NYC. "So, were you always from around here or did you move here?" Nonchalant conversation. That would keep her mind at ease instead of drifting into remembering how good he looked with no clothes.

Zelda was hoping this would go somewhere - despite her life prior to the mansion, before SUPER, before everything that happened, this would complete it. Granted, he probably did need to know that a CIA organization from across the rip had been interested in her. It wasn't something she really wanted to bring up, considering everything. Then there was Abel, ugh. Lots of crap she'd have to confess to. But tonight wasn't the night. Tonight was going to be great.
And worst case, it was going to be a great few weeks.
And Italian food would definitely satisfy her. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted it. "Italian is a great choice. I know the perfect place, too. It's the L'Artusi. No idea if that is how you say it or not, but I hear it's absolutely great." She smiled, entering the parking garage and unlocking her car doors from afar. She opened her side of the door to her car (which she made sure she got extra cleaned just the day before.) She wasn't sure if she was ready to go ~just~ yet, though.

She giggled and nodded, "I'll keep that in mind. After all, you know, I know all sorts of bad things to say about you." Clearly, that was a lie. She had only seen good things so far. Of course, she was sure there was his dark sides - she had her own secrets, too. In time, they'd come to know each other better. After all, she liked him enough to hope it would be for the long haul - but she would have to see what he wanted, of course. It was a little too early to figure that out, though. Maybe.
She smiled and took her hand in his, "Well, good, cause I'm no where close for this night to be over." She began to lead them towards the parking garage that her car. "What are you in the mood for? Italian, Chinese, Korean, American?" She wasn't sure what she really wanted, but Zelda liked basically everything except for octopus. She never could bring herself to get anywhere near that. "The only thing that's off limits is some types of seafood. I gotta draw my line at octopus."

Zelda smiled as she listened to him explain. That made sense - he could turn into a dog. It would make sense that pieces of it would stay behind in his normal form. Mutations were always so interesting in how they effected the body - it was truly incredible. She grinned playfully, "I guess I better be careful when I'm talking on the phone around you, sounds like you're a bit of an eavesdropper."
She shrugged, that made sense too. "Depends - do you like my perfume?" It wasn't every day that she actually wore her perfume - but today was a special exception.
Once outside, she crossed her arms and rubbed them. It was a little chillier now. She leaned against him as they walked, "Hmmm... We can go somewhere nice to eat?" She checked the time on her watch, "There's a few really, good places around here. We can just go get in my car and find one. My treat." She perked a brow, waiting for him to decide.

While Zelda semi-listened to the music, her mind wandered different places. It wasn’t like they could really be in conversation with how loud it was, so it only made sense that she thought about... Well, Jay. Could this be the start of something… Serious? It was the first date, of course, but he made her feel a very certain, good, happy feeling. One she hadn’t felt in a long time.
She smiled as he pecked her cheek. He was a sweet guy and she squeezed his hand gently. The show was almost over and finally, the commotion settled and it was only the loud voices of people talking. They could probably roughly hear each other now… But he still had his things in his ears, so Zelda made a motion to them, “Or can you hear me with them in?”

Zelda perked a brow as she saw Jay put earplugs into his ear. Did he not like the music? Or maybe it had something to do with his mutation? She wasn’t entirely sure, but she decided to not press judgment until after the show. After all, she had plenty of other plans with him throughout the night.
Zelda smiled and felt more comforted when he pulled her closer. Her natural reaction was to snuggle closer to him. While her hand was still in his, she let some of her fingers slide off and caress his thigh as the crowd continued to enjoy the band.
It got a little less loud due to the more laid-back band, which was a nice reprieve for everyone’s ears. However, the next couple seemed to be maybe… Nirvana? Copycats, which created an intense fan fair.
