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.

Tarin wanted to know what was normal, what she wanted to be normal. Because then he would be able to help her fight the universe to getthe normal that she had been wanting for so many years.
Having real normal would mean that Lee wouldn't feel the need to know how to fight to be able to protect herself and Kevin. It would have meant that she wouldn't have allowed Kevin to start going to the gym at age 6 because that meant he would start learning how to protect himself since she couldn't always be there.
But that ship had sailed decades ago.
”I mean, in a perfect world, I would like to not have to worry about my son being able to protect himself if he needs to.” Lee paused, taking a breath. She really wished that were true, but also knew that with the way the world still was toward mutants it was naive to think Kevin would never have to do that.
”But I’d settle for being able to go out with my boyfriend or family without worrying that something will happen that most people would find unbelievable. And for those kinds of things to be actually rare enough that I don’t just deal with it without batting an eye because it’s just another thing…”
Like needing to be told to let the bouncers do their job when out at the bar with Tarin. Like teaching Kevin at 7 years old how to get to his father’s place from multiple places in New York as a ‘just in case’ back-up.
Like volunteering for a community building project just blocks from home and ending up in a building collapse.
The day had been horrible, and there were definitely still things that they were having to deal with, but in a lot of ways it was just another thing added to the list of what she’d had to deal with.
And that was so far from the normal that she had hoped, that she had thought that she and Tarin were actually starting to settle into.

”Hey now,” Lee argued when Tarin started questioning her coming home bruised. ”That really only happened the once, too. The first time with Tony really wasn’t all that bad. I didn’t have many bruises at all. And yes, this time was worse, but it still isn’t nearly as bad as when I fought Michael.”
This last time with Tony really hadn’t been much worse than her first sparring match with the spirit. And if it hadn’t been for the fact that Lee had felt she needed to prove her abilities to her siblings, even after they had seen her spar, they never would have even found out about the broken rib; DocProf had said that it might not have even been visible on an x-ray.
As Lee was pondering giving up on trying for normal, Tarin started moving and she frowned until she realized that he was just moving onto his side to be able to look at her easier. And told her that what they were doing seemed pretty normal.
”Sure it is,” Lee did agree. ”After the date. I don’t think it’s exactly normal for this to happen before getting out the door for a date because of a kiss. Even if we say that my needing to run for 3 hours later to have a chance of sleeping tonight is ‘normal’...”
Lee took a deep breath and shook her head slightly. ”Every time I think that I’ve actually managed to get normal, it feels like the universe laughs and throws some unbelievable situation at me.”

At first Tarin simply said good. That was…well that was good, Lee thought. Not that Tarin often did much of anything that would require her to fuss. Though, the elevator was still a huge problem, and what she was hoping to be able to do to help him would be considered at least fussing, if not going well beyond that.
But then Tarin went on to call her ‘Ms Smith’. And comment about her breaking her own bones. ”I wouldn’t call it a ‘habit’ when something has only happened once, Mr Brooks,” Lee pointed out.
”I do wonder,” Lee continued after a couple moments, her voice a bit more serious. ”If I should just give up on the whole ‘normal’ thing. Though, if this is what happens in place of normal date nights, I think I could manage to live with that.”

Lee smiled. It would definitely feel like it was worth it to kiss Tarin all the time, it would one thousand percent be a great way to spend time. But there were unfortunately very important things that they had to do such as eating and work. And less unfortunate demands on her time such as Kevin once he got home.
An open invitation for Tarin to fuss over her? Well, Sunday once they got back home had been far easier for her than it could have been. And with Tarin’s reminders when it was ‘time’ for her to ice again, her bruises had stopped hurting much sooner than she would have expected them to.
But it was also her stopping to be ‘a badass’ so that he could fuss and take care of her? ”I suppose it is,” Lee admitted. Even as recently as a couple months ago, Lee wouldn’t have been able to say that, she knew.
She really had gotten better about accepting help, hadn’t she? ”As long as you let me do the same on occasion.”

Lee shivered as she felt Tarin’s fingers moving along her arm. It felt as though her skin was almost hypersensitive now, goosebumps and the shiver spreading so much further across her skin than Tarin’s fingers were reaching.
”If I said it as often as I want you to kiss me, we would never get anything done,” Lee informed him with a smile that he might or might not be able to see with how they were laying. Just because they were able to be responsible adults and control themselves most of the time, that did not stop the desire.
Tarin was now asking about her ribs, whether she was alright. After they had left the mansion on Sunday, he had been true to his word and fussed over her, making sure she was icing the bruised and swollen places from her sparring match. The entire night, as well as the next two days, to a lesser extent.
”They’re fine,” Lee said softly. Then continued because she knew that ‘fine’ wasn’t exactly a great answer for them. ”I didn’t even feel them. No pain or discomfort. Probably thanks to you.”

Lee’s smile only grew when Tarin grabbed her hand and kissed her fingers. She wasn’t sure why, but Lee loved him doing that. Maybe because the main time that he did it was at times like this. That was reason enough to like just about anything, Lee thought.
But she couldn’t help the slight laugh when she heard Tarin speak. ”When I said that you should kiss me anyway?” Lee asked, lifting her head slightly to look at him. ”I didn’t think there was a situation you wouldn’t want me to ask you to kiss me…”
That said, Lee gave Tarin a kiss before settling her head back down on his shoulder. Despite the amount of energy she had, it was too nice and too comfortable to lay like this snuggled up with Tarin to do otherwise.

As Tarin shifted, Lee slipped her heels off her feet as she carefully stepped out of the dress pooled around her feet. Somehow, even with that almost three inch drop in height, and the moving Tarin was leading, followed by him sitting then pulling her onto the bed with him…
Somehow through all of that, the kiss never once completely broke. Running her hands up Tarin’s sides to his shoulders, Lee deepened the kiss again.
Fade to black…
A while later, Lee was laying beside Tarin, her head resting on his shoulder as she sighed contentedly, a happy smile on her face. It didn’t seem to matter where they were, what happened, or whether Lee managed to remember to turn her siphoning off or not, every time with Tarin was amazing.
Every. Single. Time.
That very first night had been absolutely amazing in so many ways. Much of it Lee had thought had been because of the tension between the two of them that had needed to be released. But every single time had been just as amazing in its own way.
After three months, none of that seemed to be changing. Even after three months, there were still times when Lee absolutely needed Tarin just as desperately as she had that first time.
Lee hadn’t needed Tarin that evening, but damn had she wanted him.
”As much as I had wanted a date night,” Lee said softly as her hand started moving lightly along Tarin’s chest. ”I am extremely glad that you closed that door.”

Lee’s dress was gone, as was Tarin’s shirt, and as they started kissing again, Lee shuddered as their bodies touched, skin to skin. This was so much nicer, and Lee leaned into Tarin’s body as she felt his hands slip into her hair again.
Wrapping her own arms around him, Lee ran her hands up Tarin’s bare back. Other than his abs, Tarin didn’t look overly muscular, but she could certainly feel how toned his back muscles were as her hands moved slowly upward. Her fingers digging into his shoulders, clinging to him.
At this point in time, Lee honestly did not care if they ever made it to dinner. Yes, she had wanted a nice, normal dinner date. But this was pretty damn normal for them, too, and was a whole lot more fun than sitting across a table from each other.

One of Lee’s hands slipped up into Tarin’s hair as they continued kissing. At first when Lee felt Tarin’s hand moving out of her hair, she was disappointed.
That was until she felt Tarin sliding the zipper down. And Lee shivered whenever she felt Tarin’s fingers brush against her skin.
Lee shuddered even more as she felt Tarin’s hand slowly moving its way back up to her shoulders, goosebumps and a shudder following his touch the entire way.
Then Tarin pulled away and spoke. It didn’t matter how many times he had said it, didn’t matter what they had done or seen. Lee blushed slightly as Tarin spoke.
But Lee took the opportunity of the kiss being broken to pull Tarin’s shirt up to remove it.

Lee’s lip had returned to its place between her lips as she looked at Tarin, not really caring what in particular he was leading her. Wherever it ended up being would be good since he was there.
Then Tarin was turning back toward her, pulling her closer. Lee smiled up at him as her arms immediately found their way back around his neck as she stretched up to kiss him.
Tarin’s arms were around her, but then his hands were running up her back and she shuddered under his touch as she deepened the kiss, tightening her arms around him as she did.
Suddenly, Lee felt Tarin’s hands in her hair. His fingers sliding through her hair. His hands holding her head close to his as they kissed.
Lee moaned softly into the kiss as she practically melted against Tarin. Who needed a dinner date when you could have this?

When Lee said that dinner would still be there, she saw Tarin's eyes looking past her, behind her, toward the back of the shop.
They were on the same page, and Lee grinned as she looked up at Tarin.
And a moment later he was grinning back. An appetite?
That momentary confusion was quickly solved when Tarin grabbed her hand and started to lead her to the back of the shop. Lee eagerly went with Tarin, letting him pull her along. They were definitely on the same page about how their night should be starting.
As they made their way into the back, Lee reached out to flick the switch to turn on the dimmer lights she'd put in years ago. She wanted to be able to see Tarin, and as they covered the small remaining distance, Lee's eyes were certainly taking him in.

As she felt Tarin's other arm wrapping around her waist, Lee's arms tightened around his neck, pulling her even closer and tighter against him if that were possible.
Then Lee rose up on her toes, even though she was wearing heels, to give herself that extra tiny bit of height that made it easier for Lee to deepen the kiss.
Eventually, some time later, Tarin spoke and Lee just blinked up at him to start with. ”Dinner?” she questioned. It took another couple of moments for her mind to catch up. Not that her mind was necessarily moving slowly, it was just…going in a completely different direction.
”If you're hungry, we can go,” Lee said, her arms still around Tarin's neck. ”But it'll still be there…”

This had not been the plan. The plan had been to go have dinner, to eat their fill of Chinese buffet and have a date night.
That plan had apparently gone out the window as soon as Tarin had explained that he had been impatient all day, and would continue to be for a kiss that would not get them out the door for that dinner.
Because once he had said it, that was what Lee was wanting, for Tarin to kiss her like that.a kiss that would make her forget about dinner.
As she whispered the second time that he should kiss her anyway, that smile started spreading across Tarin's lips, and Lee's ended up between her lips in anticipation.
Then, finally, Tarin was moving closer to her once again, his arm going around her waist to pull her closer. And as he leaned down to kiss her, Lee's arms wrapped around his neck, pulling her even closer against him as she returned the kiss.

Lee had said, well whispered, that Tarin could kiss her anyway, and he had stopped moving. He didn't continue out the door. But he didn't turn to kiss her, either, didn't even turn to look at her right away. He just stood there for a number of looking seconds.
When he did move, Tarin let go of her hand and closed the door. Then very obviously and deliberately locked it before turning to look at her.
Seeing the look on Tarin's face, in his eyes as he looked down at her, Lee's breath caught again. It was a very good thing that he had locked the door, she thought.
”I said,” and Lee noticed that if her voice was a different volume, it had just gotten quieter. ”You could kiss me anyway…”

She was making it hard to leave? Tarin didn't make it very easy, either, she thought as she shrugged innocently.
But then Tarin was explaining why he was impatient, why he'd been impatient all day, and Lee's bottom lip found its way between her teeth as her breath caught.
He had to wait. To kiss her. Because if he kissed her, they wouldn't…
Lee's breath caught again as Tarin turned to open the door, repeating that they should go.
Lee tried to speak, but had to swallow before the words would come out, and then they only did in a whisper. ”Or you could kiss me anyway…”
