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.

Looking at her was one of Tarin’s favourite things to do? Lee didn’t even think about the fact that that might have sounded weird to someone else. Thankfully, Lee didn’t blush any darker when she heard his words. Unfortunately, the blush also wasn’t going anywhere.
Did Tarin really look at her at home that much more than she realized? It was possible, she couldn’t exactly see what he was doing or what he was looking at when they were curled up together on the couch.
But when their orders had been taken, Lee looked across the table and saw Tarin frowning at her. He didn’t miss a thing, did he?
Lee shook her head. ”No, I’ll be fine,” she assured him even though she was still feeling off because she hadn’t started siphoning again. ”You went and planned all of this, I don’t want to ruin the night. It’s just, the worst part is how sudden it is. If I had some warning, it might not be so bad.”
Well, at least that was the worst part in this situation. It’s not like an adapted could drag her off from the restaurant here without a trace with Tarin there and the cameras that had to be scattered throughout the building.

Lee had told Tarin that she needed to teach him about music as he didn't even know what kind of music he liked. He had simply put songs with a specific beat per minute into a playlist for running.
Tarin suggested that they do that, teach him about music the next time they weren't sure what to do with their evening. And though there were still plenty of Mets games, with Kevin back home it likely would be a more frequent occurrence that they had no plans. ”I’m sure that we can manage that.”
Lee blushed darker when confirmed he'd meant what he said. ”If you just wanted to look at me, we could have stayed home, you know,” Lee pointed out. Even though if they had done that, she would never have seen Tarin in that suit, and that would have been horrible.
She was still blushing and looking at Tarin when the server came over to take their dinner order.
And Tarin did in fact go for the salmon. Which meant that if she really wanted, Lee could still try the salmon without ordering it herself.
”I’ll have the pot roast,” Lee said, cutting off sharply as she tensed again. ”Please,” she finally added.

Tarin reached his hand out to meet hers, and Lee smiled. This was more like it. Just the two of them enjoying each other’s company. Not stressing or worrying.
Well, not worrying about anything more serious than what to drink. Lee shrugged as she squeezed Tarin’s hand. ”Music is a necessity that you learn more about it,” Lee informed Tarin. ”But this…You know you like beer, so you can just continue ordering beers. Or we can try something new next time we're here.”
Honestly, Lee didn't care whether Tarin ever tried other kinds of drinks or simply stuck with beer. Might it be fun to try other things? Sure. Would it be worth stressing about? Definitely not.
Their waters were delivered just then and Tarin did order a beer. Glancing down at the menu one more time, Lee decided on a blueberry stout that sounded interesting.
Setting the menu to the side, Lee looked up at Tarin again with a smile.
Which had a blush soon added to it when Tarin spoke. ”You’re not even looking at the view, Tarin,” she said softly.

Lee had thought that Tarin had just been trying to help, but now Lee almost felt bad. ”Well, I don’t know if it does,” Lee admitted as she looked up at Tarin. ”But my powers work in all directions. It just…seems like it would make sense?”
Turning back to the cocktail menu, Lee was trying to decide what to get when she heard Tarin speak again. Like on their first date, Tarin looked absolutely lost about what to get to drink. Lee, at least, had worked at the bar for years, even if all she did behind the bar ever was crack open beer bottles.
”I’m not sure either,” Lee admitted, reaching her hand across the table for Tarin’s. ”Most of the cocktails look to be either sweet or bitter. And it looks like there’s quite a few craft beer options. What are you in the mood to try?”

Lee gave Tarin a small smile when he apologized. He was always trying to make things easier for her with her powers. Lee could only imagine that Tarin had been hoping, somehow, to have been able to see who the adapted was so he could somehow manage to keep them from coming close enough for Lee to be in their field.
A smile, but also a slight shake of her head. But before she was able to say anything, their server stepped up to their table and asked about drinks. Tarin had said something about the cocktails here being good, yet they hadn’t even looked at the drink menu yet. ”Same, some water please?”
Once the server walked away, Lee turned to look at Tarin again. ”Like I said, they might not be in the restaurant,” Lee repeated, her voice lower than it had been speaking to the server. Then she grabbed the drink menu to glance over as she continued speaking. ”The two floors below us must have hallways in this area. The adapted could have been walking in one of them and be long gone now.”

Tarin started looking around the restaurant when she told him what had happened. Even when she was looking at the menu and had asked what Tarin was thinking of getting, he was still looking around the restaurant.
And not paying attention to her much, Lee noticed as it took a few moments for him to look back at the menu and answer. ”Oh, yeah, the salmon does look good,” Lee agreed after a quick lance down. ”So does the pot roast, though. I’m not sure.”
As she looked across to Tarin again, Lee saw that he had started looking around the restaurant again. ”Tarin, there’s no way to know who it was,” Lee pointed out quietly. ”There’s no way to tell who is adapted without them being close enough to stop our powers. And they may not even be in the restaurant for us to be able to see.”

”Lee? What’s wrong?”
Just as suddenly as it had turned off, Lee was suddenly able to feel Tarin sitting across the table as well as everyone else in the restaurant.
Letting out a breath that she hadn’t even known she was hiding, Lee turned back to Tarin. ”Sorry. It’s…” Lee started, giving him a small, apologetic smile. ”I was startled. Suddenly I wasn’t siphoning.”
Lee shook her head and smiled wider at Tarin, though it wasn’t as easy and carefree of a smile as it had been a minute earlier. ”It’s fine, I was just shocked, but I am again, they moved away, whoever they are.”
Lee didn’t want that to ruin the evening, it really wasn’t anything, it had just been the sudden surprise more than anything. Lee glanced down at her menu before looking up at Tarin again. ”Do you know what you’re getting?”

Lee shook her head when Tarin apologize. ”It’s ok,” Lee said as she smiled over at him. ”This is worth the wait.”
Sitting there across from Tarin, Lee was still taking in the restaurant and the view when she saw Tarin pick up the menu out of the corner of her eye. Right, she should probably pick something to eat; she could look around and at the view more while they were waiting for their food.
Picking up her own menu, Lee started looking it over when she heard Tarin speaking again. ”I’m sure I would have liked anywhere you picked, but this was a really good choice,” she told him, the happy smile not seeming like it would be going anywhere anytime soon. ”But if the food is anywhere close to as good as everything else here, we’ll have to come back.”
Lee was just turning back to her menu when suddenly her siphoning stopped. Instantly, Lee tensed, sitting up straighter in her chair as she started to look around the restaurant again.

Lee allowed Tarin to pull her out of the elevator to where another hostess was standing. Even though she had pictured the place when Tarin had described it in the cab, it was nothing compared to seeing it in person.
As they were led to their table, Lee kept looking around, a smile on her face. She had mentioned just after leaving the apartment that they were going to have to go out on more dates to fancy restaurants if it meant that Tarin was going to be dressing up like this again. But seeing this, Lee couldn’t help but think that they would have to come here more often.
”This is amazing,” Lee said, smiling up at Tarin as they approached an empty table.
Having reached the table, Lee took a seat and smiled across at Tarin. ”This was a great idea.”

”I haven't told them,"
Lee nodded slowly. Honestly, if she had discovered her powers in a different way, she probably wouldn’t have told her parents either. Especially if she had been able to pass it off as a medical condition. They had gone to see enough doctors about it.
And though Will tried to play it off as a joke, Lee could tell that he was frustrated about not knowing what was powering his abilities. And thinking that he was due a ‘break’ after having them for a decade. Lee couldn’t stop the quiet, clipped laugh that escaped her lips at that. ”That’s about the time my life started going unbelievably wild,” Lee said in explanation. ”The political situation is a lot better now, though.
“But that’s also when I really started learning about my powers and what I could do,” Lee added more helpfully.
Will continued, admitting that there was one other thing he could do, and that his powers, his senses, were easier to deal with when he did this thing. Mess with other people’s emotions. ”Mess with them?” Lee asked after a moment. ”How?”
There were just so many different ways that Lee could think of off the top of her head that a mutant could ‘mess’ with someone’s senses. Could he enhance someone’s senses? Could he suppress their senses? Cause them to stop working all together? Make someone sense something that wasn’t there like a hallucination? Could he mess with all the senses at once, or was he limited to one at a time? Was it only the 5 senses that most people thought of, or was he able to mess with other senses as well?
”How does that work?” Lee asked curiously. ”Because if we can figure out how and where you’re able to push that energy out to mess with someone’s senses, might discover another way to get it out.”

It really didn’t take much time at all for Tarin to get them a cab, for them to climb in and start off. And almost before she knew it, they were there.
Holding Tarin’s hand as they made their way inside, Lee looked around with a small smile. Despite living in Manhattan for as many years as she had, Lee didn’t exactly have reason to step into buildings like this very often
But instead of the bank of elevators in the lobby, Tarin led her over to a small reception desk. Which in turn directed them to a n elevator nearby. Almost as soon as the doors opened, Tarin was pulling her inside. That was enough of a surprise that Lee smiled as she turned to look up at Tarin.
He certainly did look to be doing better being in here than the last time they’d taken an elevator, Lee thought. A few moments later when she saw Tarin turn to look at her, Lee’s smile grew. ”I’m glad,” she said softly. Then she noticed that the back wall of the elevator was really just a window and she turned to look at it.
Lee stood there, watching as they climbed higher, her head coming to rest on Tarin’s shoulder.
Until they stopped moving. Then Lee straightened up and turned back toward the doors as they opened.
Then just stood there in awe for a moment. ”Wow…” she breathed.

Lee’s smile widened when Tarin agreed that more dates at fancier restaurants were alright with him.
And Tarin was finally telling her where they were going for dinner. Luna Lounge? That was definitely not a place that Lee had heard about before. Though to be honest, it was as though Lee talked to a lot of people who would frequent really nice restaurants that had dress codes.
It did sound really interesting, and definitely different. So not only were they going to get to have a very nice dinner, but they were going to get to have a good view of the city…
Lee stopped, turning and looking up at Tarin. ”It’s a rooftop restaurant?” Lee asked, slightly concerned. ”How high is the building?”

Painfully gorgeous? Lee blushed hearing the tone of Tarin’s voice as he said those words. She’s known that Tarin would like how she looked, had known the way he would look her over when she came out of her room. That had been her entire goal with what she’d chosen to wear.
But ‘painfully gorgeous’ went far beyond what Lee had even been hoping for.
”Oh, you definitely measure up,” Lee said as she started walking with Tarin toward the stairwell. ”I may insist on more fancy dinner dates if it means you’re going to dress up like this each time.”
It didn’t take long for them to make their way down the stairs to the lobby of the building. ”Where are we eating?” She asked. Tarin hadn’t told her yet. He hadn’t even told her what kind of restaurant they were going to. Lee was hoping that now that they were on their way for their date that he finally would.

Lee had been expecting Tarin’s reaction when she had walked out of her room. She had not expected her own reaction. Yes, he had looked handsome and damn good when he’d dressed up to go to the bar, or for their ‘first’ date.
That was nothing compared to how he looked standing there in that suit.
Then Tarin was walking toward her, and Lee suddenly felt her lip between her teeth and warmth rising in her cheeks as she looked up at him. A wide grin spread across her face as she heard Tarin’s words. ”I could say the same,” Lee whispered, finally able to speak again.
But the peanut gallery felt the need to share their thoughts as well, and Lee glanced over. ”We can always kiss right here,” Lee reminded her son.
”Mum! That’s gross.”
Lee was already turning her attention back to Tarin. Smiling, she took his arm when he offered it to her. ”Yeah, we probably should get there for the reservation, shouldn’t we?”
It did not take long for them to get out of the apartment, and once the door was closed and locked, Lee looked up at Tarin again with a happy smile. ”I wasn’t expecting…” she said softly. Then took a deep breath before she was able to say more. ”You look amazing. I wasn’t expecting you to be so handsome tonight.”
