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.

Zelda looked around his apartment. It was small, but it was a nice apartment. It did the job, after all. Next time he’d have to come to her house. They could really get loud there, if he was the loud type, anyways. It was going to be a good night though. The shivers that went through her skin as she waited for him to come to her were nearly too much.
She crossed her legs as she watched him come back over, wrapping his arms around her on the couch as she did a small shrug, “Mmm, surprise me,” she murmured into his ear until their lips began to touch. One of her legs wrapped around his. She wrapped her arms around his back, one hand going over his neck as she pulled him closer and the kiss became more… Passionate.

Darn. It had to be seen in person. Oh well, she could at least scratch that into one of her goals list. It wasn’t that important, but why not? It’d be pretty cool to see, after all.
She kept herself quiet as she entered his apartment. He lived alone, which was a huge score. He was definitely a bachelor – so she didn’t have to worry about a girlfriend coming in and trying to kill them. That was always nice. Zelda could appreciate a messy apartment though – when she worked at the hospital, she worked all the time. Her home was a place to eat, sleep, and occasionally do laundry. In either case, it was almost always messy.
She smiled, “No worries.” She slinked into the room and nodded. Make herself at home? She slipped over a coach and sat down, “It’s a nice place, really. Hopefully no noisy neighbors… Or maybe we can be the noisy neighbors.” She grinned a playful, teasing grin as she watched him put away his bass.

She bit her lip for a moment as she thought, “I’m guessing it can’t be a picture, huh?” She shrugged, “Well, if I ever find a Siberian myself, I’ll let you know.” She wasn’t even sure if she knew anyone who had pets, actually… Hm, maybe she should get a pet. A cat or a dog or something.
She nodded, “No problem, my car is only a couple blocks that way.” She made a motion and started walking towards the parking garage. She was secretly enjoying the strokes of his thumb against her hand as they walked. She walked closely to Jay, nearly bumping into him but enough for their body heat to share easily, at least through the arms. She'd occasionally catch a glance towards him with a small, playful grin and also caressed his hand as they walked.
Once they reached the parking garage, she unlocked the doors to her jeep and motioned for him hop in. “Alright, where too?” After he told her, she drove to his apartment complex and thankfully found a decent place to park.
She locked the doors after they exited the car, “I’m so glad I’m not in apartments anymore,” she muttered more to herself than to him. She didn’t enjoy having people banging around on her walls and the noise. Or the lack of parking. Or running into neighbors all the time. Maybe she just had really bad luck when it came to apartments.
She followed Jay to his apartment, her heels clicking on the floor.

“Golden retrievers are gorgeous dogs. Good choice. I would say my second pick would be a Siberian husky, but probably gets way too hot, at least in the summer.” She grinned, “At least I know how to prank you now.” She gave him a playful laugh.
She grinned and paid for the bartender for the wings & drinks, “Good idea, truly.” She chuckled.
She put her hand into his and stood up, gently rubbing her body against his as she began to walk towards the exit of the wings establishment. “Ready.” Did he drive here? “Need a ride home?” It was NYC, after all, not everyone had cars. Plus, he was a musician – that usually meant not a lot money. Not always, of course, but sometimes. He might live nearby though, so she'd wait to see what he said before she did anything else.

She nodded as he explained and grinned, “Good, that’s the best way to look at it. Who cares about a j*ck*ss, right?” She couldn’t help but turn a little red as he put his arm around her and she gently leaned into it.
She laughed quietly, “I don’t doubt it. That’s a pretty good idea. Kind of funny seeing a dog carry around a little backpack or something, though.” She chuckled a little more at the thought of it. “It’d be pretty cute, though. Especially a Chihuahua.” It got even cuter the more she thought about it.
“I know a few good places you could shift in, actually.” She gave him a wink as he walked to get his bass. She finished her second, and last, beer as he returned. “Ready to go now, huh?” She had a playful, slightly seductive grin across her face.

She frowned, reached over, and softly patted his arm. Bullies sucked. It seemed like every mutant had to deal with them - whether they’re family, other kids, or some jack*ss along the way. It was a pretty nasty world sometimes. Did he mean to say dad? It wouldn’t, unfortunately, surprise Zelda. Sometimes parents were the worse.
She gave him a soft squeeze, “People are jerks, I am so sorry you had to go through that.”
She couldn’t help but laugh at the mansion incident, “Yeah, being naked in front of minors could be very very bad. Imagine explaining that.” She couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of seeing a grown man suddenly transform out of a Chihuahua with a bunch of people just staring. Good thing it didn’t happen, though.
She grinned and shrugged, “Alright, I’ll hold you to that, just so you know.”

A quick sip of beer and she perked a brow as she listened to him, “Golden retrievers are adorable. How did you find out about your abilities? If you know, you’re comfortable sharing it.” Sometimes it was a personal thing but sometimes it was really interesting stories that happened.
She perked a brow and chuckled a little bit, “Wow… How did that all end up? Sounds… A little dramatic. Although, come to mention it, I think I did hear something about that…” Either way, it had to be a good story if he was up for sharing. Sometimes she was glad she was a human – there wasn’t any extra surprises that could happen.
She giggled, “Well, you’ll have to show me that shifting ability sometime then.” She leaned onto the counter top, a twinkle in her eye.

She gave him a grin with a slight nod, “That does put a damper in things, doesn’t it?” She took a bit of wing and placed some napkins near them both so they could both grab some when needed.
She grinned, blushed a little, “Yeah, I think we are.” She took a sip of beer when he did so. This would probably be her last one, but no guarantees on the wings.
She nodded, “Yeah, I do. I do a little research with Doc Prof, too. You know about the school?” He seemed like he was at least aware of it – well, now at least. She gave an empathetic smile, “It is a great place for mutants. Safety, community, learning all the above.”
A canine shifter, though, that is pretty awesome. “Canine shifter? That’s really awesome – what’s your favorite shift?” She thought for a moment, “It might have been hard learning on your own, but I'm sure it made you stronger in your abilities. Plus, everything happens for a reason, right?"
She grinned playfully, “Although… I’m more of a cat person, myself.” She winked, clearly joking. She liked animals in general – she didn’t really have a preference. “Kidding, of course.”

It was a really great performance. Zelda felt a little ashamed of herself for having some doubts - not about Jay, but about the band in general. Again, though, no one starts off as the best. It takes time and practice. Heck, at least they could play instruments and sing. Talk about something that wasn't Zelda's forte and that was it.
At the end of the performance, he came back, sweat and all. It was actually pretty attractive to Zelda, so she just kept a sly grin on her face. Playing music, getting all worked up over it, coming over and swinging a beer. She was on her second beer, which she took a sip of as he ate a wing. "It was a great performance, really." She took a wing and bit into it, "Tastes great, right? I can think of a few things that taste better, though."
Now that he was no longer performing, they could really get to chatting. Among other things.

She giggled and nodded a little bit, “Yeah, it’s impressive. Not everyday someone can blow my expectations away.” She grinned and gave him a little, playful grin at his comment. It was nice to know for sure that he liked her – not like it wasn’t obvious between the two of them, though. “Just wait till you taste them.”
With that, he was back on stage performing the last little bit of his show with the band. It was a pretty good show – plus, the wings were actually pretty good from the place. She’d have to make a mental note to come back here at some point.
She nearly clapped when he began to sing with the other ones. That was even more impressive – musician and a singer. They didn’t always compliment each other. But, him and the band worked well together. She and the rest of the establishment clapped at the end of that one song.

Zelda gave Jay a little wave with her free hand when their eyes caught each other – and she noticed the wink. Things she wasn’t expecting to happen today? Being at a little wing place watching an attractive guy perform with a band. Not that she was complaining, quite the contrary. It was turning out to be a very rewarding day.
Of course, she paid some attention to the other musicians. They were pretty good, too. But, also, she wasn’t really paying that much attention to them. Her focus was much more on the bass player, after all. The rest she probably wouldn't ever talk with or care too.
She took a sip of her beer as Jay came over during the intermission. She gave him a smile, “I couldn’t miss it.” She thought for a moment, articulating a review for him, “They’re pretty good, actually. Better than I was expecting, to be completely honest. You’re amazing, of course. I expected nothing less from you, though.” She winked. Her wings had just arrived so she motioned towards them, “Wing? They’re hot.”
Zelda showed up about 5 minutes late. Part of it was where she liked to keep them on their toes but mainly it was because there was barely any parking, so she had to park a couple blocks away in an overpriced parking garage. Not a big deal, but it delayed her. Extensively.
Once she was inside Wynona's Wings, she glanced around, quickly seeing the stage where Jay was performing along with the other musicians. She slipped to the bar area and ordered a beer and some hot wings. She leaned against the bar as she took a sip of the beer and watched the performance, preparing to give him a little wave once he caught sight of her.
She nodded her head as she listened to the song. They were actually pretty good, especially Jay. It kinda took her by surprise (mainly the band as a whole.) They seemed to rhythm very well together.

She perked a brow but nodded. A man knowing an instrument was great, band or no band. “Huh, Wyvern? I’ll be honest, I haven’t heard of them. I do like the name, though.” She smiled. Everyone, including bands, had to start somewhere. No one became stars overnight. “I’m sure they’ll get there eventually.”
He seemed pretty impressed that she was a teacher. That made her feel some sense of pride, but he asked her where. She’d never hid her support for mutants before and if this was something that would have him running away, then nothing would ever come of them anyways, “Xavier’s Sister School for Gifted Youngsters.” She mentioned it mostly nonchalant.
She gave him a playful grin, “It's a lot easier to appreciate the view when you're up close to the band.” She groaned on the inside. Her flirting game was so… Bad, honestly. It had taken a deep dive after the SUPER situation. In either case, she had her hot chocolate in hand, “Well, thank you, but again, you didn’t have to do this.”
She gave him a very playful grin and shrugged her shoulders, “Well, I’ll see if I can squeeze 7 in tonight.” Zelda gave him a quick wink, “See ya later.”

She nodded, a little bit exasperated, “Yep… It only gets worse, apparently.” She dodged another guy who nearly ran into her – by bumping into him again. She mumbled a sorry again. But she heard some flirty words and a charming smile. She gave a playful grin and her cheeks blushed, “Great plan, actually. I'd love to get to know you more.”
She nodded, impressed. A musician? Wing joint? Yummy. It sounded like a band gig, that’s for sure. She actually hadn’t been to one before. “Very nice, sounds like it’ll be lots of fun. What’s the name of your band?”
Once they were inside the coffee shop, Zelda relaxed. It was nice to finally not get bumped into and have her personal space continually violated. Plus, the coffee shop wasn’t busy – that was always a plus.
As she waited in line, he asked her what did, “I am a doctor. Well, I use to be. I teach genetics and biology now.” She wasn’t too sure if she wanted to mention which school – some people weren’t too keen on mutants, so hopefully he wouldn’t ask about that. “You know, I’ve never been to a wing joint concert.” She wasn't exactly sure what it was called. A gig? But that seemed to be more of the musician, not the customer. In either case, she gave him a playful smile, hopefully he’d catch her hint.

He seemed a little unaware of her at first actually, which made her feel a little better. Once her focus had turned more towards him and not the hot chocolate, she was able to finally get a good look at him. Pretty cute, actually. Cuter than most other guys that have been bumping into her. And he actually talked, which gave him tons of points in her book.
She nodded and sighed a little, “It’s a part of life in this city. I was hoping it’d calm down a little bit with the whole holiday thing going on… But, here we.” Awe, that was sweet of him to offer. She was more interested in the gig though – she presumed he was playing the instrument he had in the big case. “It was just some hot chocolate, not a big deal or anything.”
She gave him a sweet smile, “A gig, though? That sounds pretty interesting.” She couldn’t just ask if she could follow him, though. They did literally just meet. But if he wanted to get something to drink first, that would be a good way of getting to the point of asking.
She extended her hand and gave him a firm handshake, “Zelda. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Jay. Let’s get out of crowd, eh?” It was pretty annoying dodging people, not to mention the more rude ones.
