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.

As she finished speaking, Lee stood there just staring at their hands, focusing on the feeling of the energy flowing into her. Not any faster or stronger than she would normally siphon, but she focused on the feeling of it.
The feeling of the energy was comforting in a way right now that it never really was
Lee was so focused on it, just the fact that her powers were working, that she almost didn’t hear Tarin’s question. So it took a couple moments for her brain to go back over what he’d said before she shook her head.
”I was discovered by pure luck,” she whispered. ”A cop stumbled in on another case. Found me in that creepy house.”
Then Tarin asked how long. Lee’s eyes slid closed as her lips pressed tightly together. ”Three months,” Lee’s voice was barely above a breath when she finally spoke. ”And no. They never found him.”

”Were you mixed up in that too?”
”It was that year,” Lee said softly as she glanced over. ”I don’t have good enough luck to have missed dealing with all that.”
Though, as the talk moved to Columbia, and Michael made the comment about dealing with the cartel, Lee was surprised Tarin didn’t speak up. Not with how much he loved her so-called ‘superhero name’.
”Oooh, Slate was well aware of my thoughts,” Lee informed Michael. ”He’d just seen what I could do, and with his healing, I don’t think hitting him would have made the point any clearer.”

Lee shook her head as she bit her lip when Tarin asked if she found that out in Florida. ”No. Well, I guess technically I did with Jacen when we met,” Lee replied, her voice still quiet. ”We were running and I couldn’t keep up.
“But no, that’s not why I need to know how to fight without my powers,” Lee continued, swallowing the lump that was trying to form in her throat. ”I was kidnapped, by an adapted. He had a gun, but even if he hadn’t I didn’t have the strength to get out of his grip, or force the locked car door open.”
Lee took a deep breath, her eyes dropping slightly again. ”I didn’t have much energy to start with that day. By the time he left, I couldn’t get myself out of there. God, I tried…For as long as I had the energy to…”
“Sometimes I could feel a person, but never close enough, long enough. He did bring food, but it was sheer force of will to even attempt eating a bit. After…I don’t even know, a week? I didn’t even feel hungry anymore.”

Lee didn’t see Tarin nod when she spoke, but she did hear his words. ”Thank you, Tarin,” she said, finally looking up at him again. It was alway hard for her to accept help, to ask for help. Always had been. But with the situation in her head at the moment, it became so much easier.
Because she knew that she was so close to being helpless then.
”It’s strange,” Lee continued after a few moments, her voice still very quiet but she continued looking up at Tarin now as she spoke. ”When there’s an adapted around, I can still feel all the energy I have, for as long as it lasts, but I can’t use it at all, I can’t get more.”

The number of countries that Michael had jumped into could be counted in double digits. And Romania had only been one of them. Lee just nodded. That was a lot, though if he had been military before all of this other stuff, it did make sense.
And Michael explained when he had found out about the Kabal. Again, Lee just nodded. Yup, that sure had been something that happened. She’d shaved Rupert’s legs when she woke up to find herself in his body. Lee had thought that she had just had another breakdown.
Until it was proven that she hadn’t.
”Oh god, that was so uncomfortable and strange,” Lee said as she shook her head. Only to hear Tarin’s comment as he made his way back out front. ”Really? I thought we had actually been doing pretty well this week on the weird revelations.” Was Lee joking? Yes. but there had been a lot of weird things discussed between them quite a bit…
”We found out in Columbia,” Lee said, regarding the Kabal. ”While my then husband was still laying in his own blood after Slate healed him. Because Slate had pissed off one of the cartels and they were tortured.

Lee stood silently as she watched Tarin’s free hand move over, wrapping around the back of her hand in the same way hers was wrapped around his hand.
But when Tarin spoke, Lee frowned slightly deeper before shaking her head. ”No,” she said slowly. ”It’s not just that I want to know. I need to know how to fight if I can’t use my powers.”
Talking about this, Lee couldn’t help but think back to when she was stuck in a fake house with absolutely no energy. Taking a deep breath, Lee just stood there for a moment savouring the feeling of the energy flowing into her where their hands were touching, the energy from Tarin’s body in general, the much weaker but still present flow of energy from people passing by outside on the sidewalk.

Lee just shrugged, still looking at their hands, when Tarin pointed out when most people would have stopped. That might have been, but Lee had also had her reasons.
”Honestly,” Lee said after a couple moments. ”I really started to figure out the radar thing because I thought I was going crazy.” Feeling things that weren’t actually there. At least she had thought so.
That was before she had actually gone crazy. At least briefly.
Was the fact that she had been in real fights the reason she trained so hard? Because Tarin had seen her go hard on that heavy bag. And he had seen the video of her sparring match in addition to working with Tony.
”That’s part of it,” she told him, a slight frown on her face as she finally looked up at him again. ”And I want to have at least an idea how to do it ‘properly’ so I don’t hurt myself when I’m using my strength and speed.”
Lee bit her lip and dropped her eyes before continuing again. ”But it’s not like I can always access that,” she whispered.

Lee smiled happily when Tarin said ‘me to’. With how little Tarin tended to verbally acknowledge any emotions, it was big that he was saying this to her.
But then Tarin was continuing, and with each word, a blush grew darker on Lee’s cheeks.
By the time that Tarin had finished, Lee’s eyes had dropped to look at their hands again and her face was bright red. And while yes, she had managed to learn how to do all of those things, Lee really didn’t think it made her nearly as impressive as it apparently made her in Tarin’s mind.
”That’s all really just learning how to use my powers…” Lee said softly, glancing up at Tarin very briefly through her lashes before dropping her eyes back to their hands. ”Though, the training at the gym isn’t just because or for my speed and strength…”

Tarin really didn’t seem to mind that she had started opening things up a bit, and she smiled back at him as she finished up with the blind she was currently opening.
And Michael thought it was a cute shop. Lee supposed it was in the way that something very old was cute. The place was definitely a little rough because of its age.
”Never expected I’d run int’ someone with the kinds of connection’s y’ had, Lee.”
Lee shrugged as Tarin headed into the back to grab himself some water. ”Right place at the right time?” Lee replied as she moved back to the counter to take another sip of her coffee.
Because, really, that’s what it had all been, wasn’t it? If she hadn’t been kicked out of the infirmary that day and been wandering the mansion in the path she had, would she have ever run into Slate? And she had really only met Devon because they ran into each other while running because neither of them had been able to sleep.
”Either that or fate. Though even if you had before, would you have known about those connections?” Lee asked. Another sip of coffee. The very important coffee since they were in the shop away from people outside and she wasn't touching Tarin.
”Though, I don’t think I ever viewed them as connections like you. Just…people. Apparently, though,” as Lee continued, she glanced toward the back of the shop where Tarin had gone before looking back at Michael. ”What I’ve done in my life has been so unbelievably wild that that thought is probably also skewed.”

Tarin said that he understood what she was saying about Rachel having tried to set her up in the past and with how he had understood other things she’d explained about her powers, really understood, she knew that he had.
But when Tarin continued, Lee couldn’t help but take the opportunity to tease him. ”What choice did I really have?” Lee asked, her tone having turned playful and joking. ”If I didn’t let you take me to the bar, Rachel probably would have dragged me there, and then I likely would have been stuck there until close.”
Shaking her head, Lee gave Tarin a smile before she continued speaking, her voice having become more serious. ”I didn’t ‘take pity’ on you, Tarin. You had met the first two before Kevin had even gotten home. Hell, you had already understood about my powers than a lot of people after knowing me for years.”
Squeezing Tarin’s hand, Lee made sure that they were each making eye contact before she continued. ”Not once have I felt pity. You’ve made me feel lots of other things, but never pity.”

If she had touched him that Friday night before they’d gone to the bar, before Lee had even known about the plan to go to the bar…
Yeah, Lee likely wouldn’t have been walking out of that room until the next morning.
There had been so many possible times that night, so many ways that things might have happened before the two of them had been sent to the open mic night.
”I hadn’t given up, exactly,” Lee tried to explain. ”It’s not as much of an issue now, because I’ve got better control, and know more about what my powers do and don’t do, but the trust and understanding that I need there to be in addition to actually liking the person…” Lee shook her head. ”No, finding someone who even comes close to understanding about my powers is hard enough on its own. And can you really see me having the patience with blind dates in an attempt to find that?”

As always once they reached the edge of the park, it really didn’t take long to reach the shop. And Michael continued to talk about her dogs. Which were even larger, apparently, than Lee had thought at first when she’d said the dogs were big. Each of them had to weigh considerably more than Lee herself to make up 400 pounds of dog.
Once Tarin got the door unlocked and pulled open, Lee stepped into the shop as he held the door, setting her coffee on the counter and immediately moving to turn the lights on and open blinds to make it easier to see.
It was only as she was raising the second blind that Lee realized that what she was doing was probably weird for Tarin. ”Sorry,” she said, giving him an apologetic smile. ”Old habit.”

”Well, you weren’t completely successful,” Lee told Tarin when he said he wasn’t going to make things weird. ”When you stepped close to me then, I remember thinking later, looking in your eyes that close, right then, I almost felt like I was trapped. I couldn’t move away. Though I did want to touch you…” Lee laughed a bit again as she looked down at their hands with a slight blush on her cheeks.
”There were a few times before then,” she continued, looking back at Tarin after a few moments. ”When I would wonder ‘...does he?’ And I had definitely noticed a few times how green your eyes are…”
Was it strange that Lee was blushing talking about this now, after they’d been together two months and they had already shared so much more? Maybe, but the blush was still firmly on Lee’s cheeks.
’’She really does,” Lee agreed about Rachel, shaking her head. ”I honestly do not know how she does it. It’s not the first time she’s done something like that, either, with me or other people.
“Which makes it even harder for me to understand why she thought trying to set me up on all those dates over the years was such a good idea…”

”Ok,” Lee said softly when Tarin said he was fine. Though it sounded like one of her ‘I’m fine’ statements when really, things were not fine.
This was not the place to question it with Michael right behind her. Approaching and talking about dogs keeping her up the previous night. Taking a sip of her coffee, Lee reached out for one of Tarin’s with her free hand.
’’You’ve got two?” Lee asked Michael as they walked. ”I can’t even imagine having one large dog here in the city, nevermind a pair of them.” It was a ridiculous concept to Lee. But then again, she had grown up in a city where backyards were the norm. Other than in the park, the city seemed far too crowded for a large animal.

”Friday?”
Lee laughed slightly and nodded. ”That was definitely an interesting night,” Lee said. She then looked down at their hands, bringing her free oneover so she was holding his hand between both of hers.
”You came so close to me that night,” Lee said softly before looking up into Tarin’s eyes again. ”Even after we both agreed that I should go, I almost didn’t leave your room. If you hadn’t stepped back when you did, I don’t think I would have…”
Lee laughed again as she shook her head. ”Rachel definitely knew what she was doing with sending us out that night, didn’t she?”
