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.

Well, it was night. And it was dark. With the lights on the tree, glistening. And the air in front of their mouths, foggy whenever they exhaled. The world was cold, and the last place he wanted to avoid was a warm room.
"Home, I guess?" Aurum suggested. "Unless you want to see some more lights."

High above the pedestrians, a star twinkled. It shone up high. Up on top of the tree.
Aurum sipped his coffee, and just sort of dealt with that. He sipped his coffee because it was warm. And good. What else was warm and good? The lady on his arm. He was pretty sure she was enjoying the tree, too.
"You ever come to Rockafeller center on Christmas eve before?" Aurum asked.
He had. It was a nice location. Lots of tourists, though. Good thing they didn't have to stay at the tree all night.

"No problem." Also, ick.
She hoped that didn't mean what Riley had made it sound like it meant.
***
Vroom vroom went the motorbike through New York city. Screech. Park. Sound effects.
They found the restaurant. Aurum -had not- made Riley close her eyes.
If she looked, she could easily see that it was an Asian restaurant. But they didn't linger long enough to check out signs or front windows. Into the place, they went.
Inside, there was a counter behind which stood a balding Asian man with a giant grin and an even larger knife. Upon further examination, the counter was not only a counter. There was also space to make food.
"Hey, Hiro! How are ya?" Aurum smiled.
"Good, good." Hiro replied, dutifully working on a married couples' fish.
Aurum pulled up to the counter and sat down. He waited for the man to serve the couple, then introduced his guest. "This is Riley." He insisted.
The man understood perfectly. "Pretty woman deserves delicious fish."
"Exactly."
The guy got to cooking, without asking what they wanted. Aurum looked to Riley confidently. "Don't worry about ordering. He's good at figuring out exactly what you want." Or exactly what you need.

They kissed.
Brief, sweet, then over.
"Was there anything else you wanted to talk to me about today?" Aurum asked. He didn't scoot away, just yet. "Or, maybe you wanted to go out somewhere?"
Ami had free reign of the kitchen. It was unlikely he would be getting his kitchen back any time soon.

"Riley. You're like coffee."
She was like coffee.
"You're dark. And bitter. And most of the time, you're strong. Sometimes, people make you weak. Sometimes, they let you get cold. But deep down... you seem warm to me. And Riley." He looked her dead in the eye. "You know how I love coffee." And ended coffee rant time.

There was a sound from by the front door. Keys, jangling. Then silence. Nobody'd locked. Aurum opened his own door and stepped in to find two people he wasn't expecting.
"Oh. Hi."
Riley and his sister. And a computer. Had they been... talking? Knowing Ami, it might have been more like conspiring.
"Everything alright?" He asked.
"Super." Amelia commented. She jerked her head at Riley. "Riley wants a word with you in your office while I get my soul absorbed by more Skyrim."
And then she alt tabbed and started up the game, like a boss.
