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.

Pippa shivered slightly at Sabine's words. First, she made her happy, giddy with the feeling that this wonderful, strong woman would consider herself lucky to be with Pippa... and then she felt giddy in a whole other way. She arched an eyebrow at Sabine, flushed. Making out in an office, with so much chaos going on outside... she would not have imagined it, normally. But today was definitely not a normal day.
Pippa nodded silently, leaving Sabine's embrace for a moment to bolt the door of the small office, and check the blinds.

Pippa loved seeing Sabine smile. She was not generally regarded as a friendly and cheerful person, and yet when she was feeling comfortable around someone, she was warm and kind. And she had a lovely smile. The thought of having come so close to losing this person, with her bright smile, made Pippa's throat tighten again.
"That's exactly the kind of thing that gets you a kiss" she agreed, leaning up to kiss Sabine. This time, she poured all her emotions into the kiss, wrapping her arms around Sabine's neck.

"Implied." Pippa chuckled. She had been working for Sabine long enough as a PR person, not to mention dating her, to know she was not a mushy romantic person. She was something much better: she was honest. And trusting, at least towards Pippa. With all the heavy feelings today, Pippa felt giddy at having this moment with her. Something lighter. Because they were both alive. "Yes. I am." She nodded, framing her face with her gloved hands. "Although we could circle back to the princess part..."

Pippa was still at a loss, so Sabine spoke again, clearly oblivious to the wording of her previous statement. It seemed like they were worrying about two completely different things.
>>"To be clear, I don't want things to end here. But I know what this job is and I feel like a bad girlfriend for putting you through all that worry."
Different things. Pippa took a deep breath. It had been a slip-up, obviously. And Sabine was right. The bigger question was... could a relationship survive so much stress? She lifted her head, looking up at Sabine.
"You never called yourself my girlfriend before..." she noted with a small smile.

>>"I get it, but also: absolutely not. I signed up to throw myself into trouble, but I'm most at ease when you are far, far from harm's way. But I guess I can't imagine being in your shoes for this."
"What, am I your princess now?" Pippa hugged her, resting her head on her shoulder. She was aware that she was not combat trained or ready for any field missions. But she also hated the helpless feeling she had experienced today.
>>"I have to warn you: there's no promising we won't have to do this again. Not the big archdemon, obviously. But when everything goes down, it's likely I'll be in the middle of it. I need you to really consider if you can deal with days like this, because there are much safer women to love out there."
Pippa blinked. She still had her face buried in Sabine's shoulder, which was just as well, because she was suddenly at a loss of what to say. She felt her cheeks flush. What did one say to that? It wasn't an admission; it was an assumption. Not that Sabine was wrong... And clearly, the emotions of the day overruled the fact that they had only been dating for a few months in a cautious way. By the time she realized she was not saying anything, it had already been several moments too long.

Pippa led Sabine to her former office, which was a small space, not currently used by anyone. She barely had time to shut the door and the blinds before she was pulled into a kiss. She didn't resist; she melted against Sabine. It was a kiss they both needed. It said things she could't put the words to, and left her breathless.
>>"I missed you. I'm so sorry I had to leave you panicking and worrying. This is the first major disaster we've had to deal with since... well, I'm not used to having someone home worrying about me."
"Well... I worried." Understatement of the year. Pippa gave her a sheepish look. "Is it bad that I think I prefer to be kidnapped and shot at with you, to this?"

>>"Yeah, the Mansion collapsing was definitely as scary underneath it as it probably was to watch,"
No. Watching had been worse. For a long time, feeling like an eternity, Pippa had not known whether Sabine was still alive. But she was not going to argue her point. She was happy she was alive. She drew back, trying to keep control of her emotions.
>>"Is there somewhere we can talk more privately?"
"Yes." Pippa nodded. "Yes, there... Haven is housing a lot of refugees right now. They converted some of the offices too, we... can use the small one I used to have when I worked here?"

Sabine scooped her up and Pippa put her worries aside, clinging to her in a tight hug. She was back. She was alright. The reality of how close they had been to not meeting like this again came crashing down on Pippa. Luckily, since people were still trickling in and Haven was fighting to accommodate everyone, their hug seemed nothing our of the ordinary. Emotions were running high all around.
"No such thing" she muttered against her shoulder. Too safe indeed. She had been in a battle with some literal demon. "I thought, when the building came down..."

Pippa drew a deep breath, as if she was surfacing from being underwater, as she saw Sabine walk in. She looked worn, but she was arriving on her own feet, not missing any limbs, which was a good start. Pippa hurried over to her; her first instinct was to launch herself at Sabine, but they were in the middle of Haven, and their relationship - whatever the status of that was - was definitely not public, let alone known to her other employer. She pulled up short.
"Are you alright?" She asked nervously, looking Sabine over. "Were you injured?"

Pippa fidgeted with a loose thread on her glove as she stood in the foyer of the Haven building. Refugees from the Mansion, and people who had been in the battle, were trickling in, to be quickly ushered away by Haven employees and volunteers to get food, medical attention, and temporary accommodations. Pippa had watched the battle unfold on TV, feeling utterly useless and helpless. Sabine had been there, inside the Mansion, coordinating defense. She was inside when the building blew up. Until there was word from her again, Pippa felt like time had stopped, and her insides had been replaced by lead. It felt like she didn't even draw a breath until there was word from her again.
Sabine, thank god, was fine. Or so she said. After the cleanup at the battle site, she was supposed to be on her way back to Haven for debrief. But other people had come in now, and she was still nowhere to be seen. Pippa's anxiety grew with every passing minute. If things continued like this, her glove would not be the only thing that unraveled.

Right now, it was definitely going somewhere great. Later on... it could go either way, uphill or downhill or straight to HR. But Pippa, feeling her heart speed up, did not really think that far ahead, for once. Sabine was... a surprise. A bit of a mystery. She had been wary about her, but something melted slowly, and now she found that she wanted to be close to her; feeling relieved Sabine did not hate her for keeping that secret. Pippa smiled, blushing slightly, and stood on her tiptoes to press her lips to Sabine's.

Well, this was it. Something that had been simmering in the background for a while, carefully swept under the rug of professionalism, avoided because of the exact secrets Pippa had been holding on to. The secrets that had just been revealed. Sabine moved closer; Pippa was good at reading people. She knew this was not exactly an either-or question. Pippa swallowed.
"As your PR representative, I should tell you this is a bad idea" she noted. As a professional courtesy. "But... as myself... I don't think it's that bad." She added with a small smile.

It was a small gesture; Pippa now felt it was woefully inadequate compared to all that she wanted to convey. And she was not usually out of words. But Sabine seemed to understand her meaning anyway. Because now they shared something that had been hidden before.
>>"I do. I want you to be able to share things with me that you've had to keep to yourself. But if you're really going to stay with me, I need to know: are you really ready to trust me? To let me in?"
Pippa nodded slowly. Sabine held her hand along with the candy; that was a soft gesture. Sabine was not tall by any means, but she was taller than Pippa, and at this distance Pippa was left looking up at her.
>>"I'm trying not to let masks get in the way with you, but I need you to be willing to do the same."
She nodded again. There really was not a lot to say. But she did have a question, although she hesitated before she asked it.

Pippa held the candy, feeling a little sheepish about it. She'd already held it without gloves, soaking in memories from the other universe. Now, it was just candy. She tried to put words to the whole sudden idea.
"I've been... saving it, I guess? And now that you know my whole story... I remembered the time you came to visit, after the ship. And how we talked about you missing things from the other side. And I tried really hard not to relate, well... for obvious reasons." Hopefully, all of this was going somewhere. "So now... we can share it, if you want."

It was a bit crazy. The idea came out of nowhere and it was weird enough that Pippa just went with it because she ht literally nothing else to say. She led the way out of Sabine's office and back to hers, which was really not that far down the hallway. In there, she had her neatly organized desk and shelves.
"I really... This is not something I planned, you gotta know that." she muttered, walking over to the desk. She rummaged through the drawers, until she had them pulled out in a way that she could reach between them. After some fiddling, she pulled out a small, colorful plastic bag. She had an almost apologetic look as she held it up - all of this had seemed somehow better in theory.
