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.

Lee had just been saying out loud what she had been saying, but the look on Tarin's face when she'd murmured that he was handsome made Lee grin. She'd told him that before, but maybe not enough if that was his reaction
That thought didn't last for very long. Mainly because virtually no thoughts lasted much longer when Tarin whispered against her lips and his hand came up to cup her cheek as they started kissing again.
Then Tarin's hand slid into her hair as he pulled her close against him and back onto the bed, and Lee moaned again softly as she felt the heat from his bare chest.
This was better. Still not close enough, Lee felt as she pressed herself closer against Tarin, but better. Running her hands up Tarin's sides, they came to rest against his shoulders, clinging to him, as she deepened the kiss even more.

Hands on Tarin's shoulders, Lee was leaning up to kiss him, goosebumps still spreading out from where his hands were touching.
At least Lee was leaning up to kiss Tarin until he pulled back again. At first, Lee tried to follow him, to continue the kiss. Until she realized he had only done so to pull her shirt the rest of the way off, over her head.
Which also meant that she had to pull her hands away from his shoulders.
Still, Lee did that, letting Tarin pull her shirt up over her head. And as her hair fell around her shoulders once free of the shirt, Lee looked up at Tarin for a moment, her lip between her teeth. "God, you're handsome," Lee murmured even as Tarin was reaching for her again, starting to pull her toward the bed. Down onto the bed. And Lee easily and eagerly went with him.
Lee didn't even give herself time to get settled or comfortable on the bed before she was leaning in to kiss Tarin again. "I love you," she whispered just as her lips met his.

The very first night, at the bar and once they had finally managed to get home, it had somewhat made sense; the sheer desire and need to touch Tarin, to kiss him, to be close to him…
It had been overwhelming and amazing, but at the time Lee had assumed it had been because of the tension that had been building between them the entire weekend combined with just how long it had been for her.
But that same absolute need kept happening. Not every time, but it happened again, and again, and again.
Just as it was now.
Which made the slight bit that Tarin moved back to help remove his shirt, along with the breaking of the kiss, make Lee not so happy because of the space it put between them, despite how necessary both were to get what she wanted: The shirt removed.
At least it was done quickly, and Lee's hands were already running up Tarin's chest, to his shoulders, as she stepped close to him once again.
As they started kissing again, Lee felt Tarin's hands brushing against the skin of her sides as he started lifting her shirt, and she shivered again.

Tarin stopped moving and Lee regained her balance after a moment. But the kiss didn't end and Lee didn't really loosen her grip on Tarin as they continued to stand there.
Then Lee felt Tarin's hand in her hair as his other hand slipped back under her shirt. Lee moaned softly into the kiss as goosebumps rose almost instantly over most of her body.
Even without the normal, extra sensations from siphoning, it was almost too much. Lee's skin suddenly felt almost hypersensitive. And though it had been hard to keep their hands off of each other all night, now Lee needed Tarin. And she needed him even closer than he currently was.
Finally letting go of her grip in Tarin's hair, Lee dropped both hands down to his waist, slipping under the hem of his shirt to pull it up even as she continued to shiver at his touch.

Lee shivered as she felt Tarin's hands running along her skin. Even though it had been months, months that they had been together, months since she had actually realized that she could shut her siphoning off at times like this and still be able to fall asleep with Tarin that night, it was still such a strange sensation to fell him touching her without feeling herself siphoning as well.
She never jumped or flinched when they were together like this as she sometimes did in other situations when she wasn't siphoning; he better be touching her right now.
But it was still strange, and goosebumps rose on Lee's skin after the shiver.
Then she heard that sound, quiet though it was, escape from Tarin and she shuddered. She loved making Tarin make that sound.
What Lee wasn't expecting was for Tarin to start moving while they were still wrapped up in each other and kissing. In her surprise to suddenly being off balance, Lee clung to Tarin tighter, her hand tugging his hair slightly as she moved.
Though, if her brain had been actually working, Lee should have expected Tarin to move at some point. When things were like this between them, when simply breaking the kiss felt like too much space was between them, they generally did move toward the bed without warning or looking.

Now that they were touching, kissing, Lee wasn't sure she could stop even if she wanted to.
Not that she wanted to.
Even standing there, with Tarin leaning his forehead down against hers, almost felt like there was too much space between them. There really wasn't, their bodies were pressed close against each other.
At that moment, Lee didn't want to even move, unless it was closer to Tarin. And, Lee thought with a smile, she wouldn't have to until the morning.
They had the entire night, even if they should sleep for some of that time.
When Tarin leaned down further to kiss her again, Lee eagerly returned it, her arms tightening around his neck. Just moments later, Lee's hand had slipped up into Tarin's hair, holding his head close to hers.
Lee didn't even realize at first when Tarin mumbled against her lips. She just tightened her hand in her hair. A moment later it clicked in what he had said. Well attempted to say.
Lee tried to nod even as she deepened the kiss again. More was good.
Tarin wasn't moving as she moved around the room and sitting things off for the night. Glancing over when she was about half finished, Lee saw Tarin sitting there still, just staring at her.
Blushing slightly at the look in his eyes, Lee bit her lip as she turned to finish what she was doing..
Only once she was finished and asked Tarin if he was ready did he stand. Immediately grabbing her hand and pulling her with him out of the room. Toward his bedroom.
This is what would have happened that night regardless of whether they had been able to keep their hands off of each other. Maybe not Tarin actually pulling her along the hallway, but they would have ended up going to bed together, most likely doing the same things once they got there.
Doing things. In her eagerness, Lee had almost forgotten. Again. And that wouldn't work very well for the actual 'going to bed' part of the night. So as Tarin closed the door behind him, Lee paused and shut her siphoning off.
Just in time for Tarin to pull her close for a kiss.
Lee didn't know how long they stood there kissing. It could have been a minute, could have been an hour. It didn't matter, because all Lee could feel were Tarin's lips on hers, his arms around her waist holding her close, his body pressed against hers. And that was all that was important at that moment.
When Tarin finally broke the kiss, Lee smiled up at him, her arms wrapped around his neck. "If it gets me more of that, then yes…" Lee murmured.

Although they were continuing to speak, Tarin was no looking up at her. Not at all. Part of Lee very much wanted Tarin to look at her.
The other part was grinning because Lee could only assume that Tarin wasn't looking at her he couldn't without risking what Kevin had caught them doing on the couch earlier.
'All of this'? Tarin was talking about an almost finished children's puzzle that they had only started working on in an attempt to behave while Kevin was awake as being productive?
Well, they had, mostly, behaved since sitting at the table. Kevin had even been out sitting with them for a while without being grossed out.
Lee wouldn't call it productive, but the puzzle had done its job.
When Lee suggested that they just head to bed then, Tarin finally glanced up at her. Only to drop his eyes back to the puzzle a moment later.
"God yes, please…”
Almost before the words were out of his mouth, Lee was up out of her chair, starting to move around the room to shut things off for the night. Which really didn't take long; they had gotten quite quick at this, especially since Kevin had gotten home from Texas.

When Tarin spoke, saying that they shouldn't wait too long before they dealt with her tenseness, Lee looked up at him to see that he was very studiously not looking at her. Lee smiled. "Oh, we can't have that, can we?" Lee said, going back to the puzzle.
He only, possibly, wanted to finish the puzzle that night, but Tarin had been ready to head to bed for a while. Lee smiled widely at that. So had she.
"To be honest, after the talk with Kevin, I pretty much decided that nothing else needed to be done tonight," Lee told Tarin with a shrug. "If I managed to do anything, that was just a bonus."
Looking down at the puzzle, Lee placed one more piece before looking up at Tarn again. "Should we just go now?"

That grin… Lee bit her lip as she watched that grin spread across Tarin's face. Lee didn't think she would ever get tired of seeing that grin.
Oh, so Tarin had ideas for both instant relief and if she was willing to wait. While those immediate options were often necessary after a sparring match, they were certainly not that night.
Lee smiled, her lip still between her teeth, as Tarin hinted at other 'things' he could try. Those were the options Lee had been looking for.
"I suppose I could wait for a little while," Lee said as she gazed back across the table at Tarin. "Though, if you're that tired tonight, we shouldn't wait too long."
Lee paused as she finally turned her attention back to the puzzle, working on getting a couple of pieces in place before speaking again. "Is there anything else that you need to do before heading to bed?"
When Tarin agreed that those were the best kind of showers, Lee smiled wider. That pretty much was the reason Lee thought those showers were so good.
Apparently telling him that about his fussing was a good thing, Lee thought, as Tarin's smile grew into a full grin. Six months earlier, Lee wouldn't have imagined herself enjoying admitting when she was hurt and accepting the help to take care of herself, not when it wasn't so she could simply be healed. Yet here she was, suggestively talking about how she enjoyed Tarin 'fussing' over her after sparring matches.
And bringin gup a totally new thing that night for him to help her with. Based on the look on Tarin's face and the tone of his voice, that was going to be very mutually beneficial.
"You do?" Lee asked when Tarin pointed out he knew what would loosen her tense muscles up. "That's very good. When do you think you can start?"
The puzzle was all but forgotten by Lee at this point, even though it was still sitting right between the two of them. This topic of conversation was far more engaging.

Lee smiled back at Tarin when he grinned, her lip still between her teeth. And while Tarin had been continuing to make sure but steady progress on the pastor, Lee had barely touched it in the last couple minutes. Tarin had been more than a little distracting in a few ways.
The stretching after some of her sparring matches…not only had Lee not realized just how tight and sore some of her muscles could get after an intense workout or sparring match until Tarin had helped her to stretch, but all that touching and close contact very often led to at least some very nice kissing.
Lee's smile widened as she looked at Tarin. As he mentioned having hot showers. For her muscles, of course.
"One of the best kinds of showers," Lee murmured. Because she could often convince Tarin to join her. Again, to help with those sore muscles. Obviously.
"I was woefully ignorant," Lee admitted. Though initially it had gone beyond her 'not liking' Tarin fussing over her. She had, at least once, argued and fought against it. "Thankfully, I've since come to my senses."
And Lee had. Gradually over the months, Lee had gone to accept, and then appreciate the fussing. While Lee knew that it had at least something to do with where things went once Tarin was satisfied with his fussing over her, that wasn't the only reason she had come to be ok with it.
Lee had also slowly, gradually come to accept and allow herself to be more vulnerable with Tarin. And to allow him to see that, allowing him to actually help her with things.
"You know, I may need a bit of help stretching it tonight," Lee said after a few moments before rolling her shoulders abit. "Everything tonight seems to have tensed me up quite a bit."

Tarin had a good point in that it was possible he'd noticed that she was starting his energy through Tony because it had been faster. Not necessarily more energy.
Lee nodded. That was something worth figuring out. But it was also something that they could not try that night. "That's something we'll have to try, then," Lee said. "See if I AM able to take more than that through a spirit or not."
Apparently, Lee had very much misunderstood Tarin's thoughts and feelings about her sparring. Well, Lee had known the first party, that he didn't like her getting hurt.
As Tarin continued speaking, Lee's eyes dropped to the puzzle on the table for a few moments. He loved seeing her kick ass?
That was nothing compared to how Tarin talked about when she let him did over her. The way Tarin mentioned him nursing her sore muscles…
Lee felt her breath hitch as she looked across at Tarin, unaware of how she had started biting her bottom lip. "That… I do like how you help me stretch out those muscles…" she finally replied, her voice low.

Tarin was against actually attempting to find out just why she had been able to sometimes feel energy even when it appeared that she was alone while her ex had been out of his body.
That was good. Very good. Lee really did not want to risk Tarin getting stuck outside his body or his heart stopping when he reconnected all to try and figure that one little, rather unimportant mystery out.
"It's possible that it's connected, but hasn't happened any other time, so…" Lee kind of trailed off as she shrugged.
Tarin went on to explain that it really didn't take too much in terms of energy for him to make a nearby spirit solid, and Lee nodded. "It would make sense if that's why I wasn't able to sense as much energy,' Lee agreed, then frowned slightly in thought. "But you were able to feel that I was siphoning, didn't you? If that's the case, it seems like I was talking at least a bit more than that."
It made sense to her. Tarin had already used that energy toward Tony. If that's all Lee had been taking, she didn't think Tarin would have felt it.
"Of course," Lee responded, once again shooting a smile across the table. "It's an easy enough thing for us to try. Especially after all the work with Tony when you don't like me doing that."

Tarin hadn't thought about the fact that the spirits had to do something different than him to get the connection established. Which really did make sense, Lee thought. Tarin either blocked all the spirits out, or brought them in to talk to or connect with. And, Lee assumed, the connection just happened when Tarin reached out.
Lee didn't agree with Tarin's next hypothesis, though. How would her being upset and crying make her more receptive to sensing disembodied energy?
Although Lee did tend to siphon more energy when she was angry; maybe it was similar when she was upset in other ways.
"I guess that is possible," Lee allowed. "Even just to experiment, I definitely don't want to be in that situation again."
Tarin's reasons for wanting to try siphoning through a spirit were good. Well the first was a really good reason. The second just made Lee curious.
"You're right, I didn't notice much of anything beyond the simple fact that there was energy there that I could siphon," Lee finally replied.
"Though…" she continued thoughtfully. "I believe I remember thinking that there didn't seem to be quite as much energy as from a person."
