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.

The smile that was beginning to creep across Tasean's face grew a little more. At least there was a reason, though not a complete explanation of why he didn't get a visit in the hospital.
"It's good to see you too" he told Andrew.
Tasean noticed that his hands were still in his pocket, as if he were nervous around Andrew. This was Andrew for gods sake, his one time friend, who obviously wasn't as upset as Tasean had initially convinced himself. Tasean took his hands out of his pocked and then pulled out a chair, nodding towards the other one for Andrew to sit as well.
"So...what happened after the...incident? I really don't remember too much before waking up in the hospital with a bunch of people poking and prodding at me" Tasean said. He decided to leave out the part about being quarantined because he was a mutant, or the inflated price his insurance was charged for "risk exposure" as the hospital called it.

For a moment Tasean didn't know what to say. He just stood there looking dumbfounded. The gods must really be having a laugh at this, both of them here at the same time, in this big city.
"Uh hi" was all he could muster to respond at first. He was still quite shocked to see Andrew here, and even more shocked that he decided to speak.
"I'm a little worse for wear" he said, rolling his eyes toward the still visible bruise on his forehead "but nothing too serious." Tasean smiled a little, the old familiarity starting to come back, slowly, but not completely.
"How about you Kenn....I mean Andrew?" he asked, about to call Andrew by the nickname Kenny Ray, which Tasean had given him before.
Tasean looked at his friend a little more thoroughly. Perhaps it was the weeks of separation, but Andrew seemed a little different, but in a good way; he as definitely still cute. Tasean blushed just slightly, mad at himself for thinking that about his friend, whom he didn't know was still friend or not.

Tasean was waiting at the crosswalk across from that infamous cafe. At least it was infamous to him. It was where he and Andrew had sat down and talked, all those weeks ago when they first met. That day Tasean had met his first mutant, and also made his first friend in the city, and now the friendship was done. Tasean really wanted to walk past the place, just keep on going to his apartment, but he couldn't. He needed to go there, just to get a taste of the memories. He missed Andrew, and wished that things had gone a totally different route. He stood there, looking at the small cafe, his hands in the pockets of his khaki cargo shorts, the white and silver polo shirt slightly hugging his chest.
Tasean looked down at the ground, remembering that day, how upset he had been because of what had happened the previous night. How he had all but ran over Andrew and the dog when he was running, and then how their talk had eased some of the pain and guilt. Then Andrew had been kind enough to show him the Mansion and introduce him to some people. And now they had not spoken since the mob incident at the Agency.
Tasean blamed himself for putting his friend in harms way, and he had convinced himself that Andrew did as well. Andrew hadn't come to visit him in the hospital, nor had he called since, not that Tasean had made any effort to contact the promising keeping mutant either.
When the light finally changed, Tasean made his way across the street toward the cafe. He wasn't particularly hungry, and he hadn't decided if he would stop for a rest yet, when a familiar shape caught the corner of his eye. Tasean looked up too his left, and saw Andrew, his friend, or not friend, or whatever they were rounding the corner of the cafe. Tasean could only stop dead in his tracks and stare, a sullen look in his eyes.

Tasean followed Aura to the gym, walking in step beside Lori. The gym was a nice facility, and Tasean wouldn't mind doing some of his workouts in it at all. Well that was once he was allowed to workout again that is.
"Very nice" he said as he was looking the place over, and then he perked visibly when he heard the next destination. Tasean loved to read, and he hoped that the Sanctuary had a nice library.
As he followed behind Aura to the next room, he looked to Lori to ask her a few questions. "So how long has this place been around?" he asked. "Forgive me my ignorance, but I'm a country boy from North Carolina. Been here a little while, but honestly I'm still rather new to everything mutant. I hadn't met any, not that too many people shout that they are a mutant from the rooftops of course, until I met Andrew a few weeks ago."
Tasean decided to stop talking, knowing that he was rambling, and he could go on and on if they let him. Somehow though, Lori nor Aura seemed the type to ramble, and so Tasean just shut up, not wanting to make a bad impression. Fools ramble, or at least that was what his mother had told him, and he didn't want anyone to think that he was a fool.

Tasean's eyes gleamed even brighter when she accepted the invitation. He took her by the hand and escorted her like some chivalrous knight to the edge of the dance floor. "We are gonna have some fun tonight, trust me" Tasean told her as he turned to face her and grab her other hand, dancing in a parody of a mambo. As he did, Kissed It by Velvet Revolver featuring Macy Gray began to play. "That is my song!" Tasean exclaimed as he began to dance with enthusiasm, his eyes closed as he lost himself in the music; though he never let go of his new dancing partner's hands.

Tasean smiled with fond memories as the lady talked about her son. He remember the first time his own mother had left out of town, and how many times the phone had rung that night, once every fifteen minutes for the entire night almost. Tasean was not about to press the issue further, you did not get between a mother and her child, until he saw her eyes look to the floor.
He grinned, and extended his hands toward her. "Come on now. We'll stay on the outskirts of the dance floor, just in case you need to dart off. And I won't hear anything about you not being able to. You got legs, knees, and hips, you can dance. Who cares what it looks like" Tasean said, demonstrating his point by spinning around and just letting his arms move anyway they liked. "In music, only the gods are served" he told her before he began laughing. "I read that in the Mists of Avalon, but it still holds true. So lets serve 'em till the sun comes up huh?"
Tasean once again extended his hand, and inviting and genuine smile on his lips, joy and mirth dancing in his eyes.

Tasean took the offered business card and slid it into his pocket. "Thank you" he said sincerely He would definitely be making a call once he got home, if this guy could get rid of this unsightly knot on his forehead. Tasean was definitely not one for the rough and rugged look.
He nodded in acquiescence when Aura asked him about having the time for a tour. "I would love to have a walk around your place" he told them both. He had toured the Mansion, why not take a tour of this place too. And if he could talk to Lori while doing it, well so much the better. She seemed open to working more with the Agency, and heaven knew Tasean needed all the help he could get.

Tasean looked at this girl who reminded him way to much of a particular girl back in high school. At first Tasean was going to laugh and call Aura on her joke, but there was something in the lady's demeanor that told him that this was no joke.
"Maybe her power is eternal youth or something" [/i]Tasean thought to himself as he took the offered hand in a firm grip and shook.
"Yes, my name is Tasean Walker, I started the Mutant Social Services Agency that you donated to" he told her, looking her up and down, wondering how someone so young became the head of something like Sanctuary. "I just wanted to stop by, to thank Aura for all her help that day. If she hadn't have been there, I might have more than this little bruise" he told Lori, indicating the quite large and still painful bruise on his forehead. "And also, to thank you for your donation as well. As soon as I can get back in my office, that money is going to help a young mutant girl with a baby that I know really needs some help." Sometimes philanthropist liked to know where the money was going too.

Hello you wonderful wonderful folks. So I have been TRYING to make a signature for Tasean but it has come to my attention that artistically I am rather inept. So I was wondering, hoping, praying, BEGGING if anyone would be able to do one for me. I use that actor Taye Diggs for Tasean.

Tasean smiled and turned around, leaning back on the bar, his elbows resting on it as he looked up into the dancing strobe lights on the ceiling. "Tomorrow? What tomorrow? No such thing in my mind" he said, eyes closed as he let the music of Lady Gaga's Judas wash over him. "There is only tonight, and tonight I am going to dance and drink the filth of the work week away. And maybe even upset one of these girls and go home with her boyfriend" he informed the woman, grinning maliciously. "I have not a care in the world right now, and I like it. So a curse on your tomorrow! Bring on the night"
Tasean turned around and downed the two shots, grimacing at the heat that hit his throat and was slowly making it's way to his stomach. He turned towards the woman, shaking his head at her cellphone. "Tsk tsk. Those things shouldn't even be allowed in the club. Nothing but electronic chain of the man!" Tasean said, beginning to fill his drinks already. Drinking on an empty stomach would do that. "Come on girl, put that phone down, grab your beer and let's leave or names on the dance floor!" he exclaimed, his whole body moving with the beat, and quite good at that. "By the way, the name is Tasean. And no I'm not crazy, I just really need to relieve some stress."

Tasean grinned slightly at Aura. "Well my vision for the agency is to help mutant kind out. Like a normal social services agency put specifically for mutants. Helping them to find good housing, jobs, get educations, make sure they have money for food and other necessities. Even help those who may have drug addictions, or are suicidal. Anything they need to help make life just a little bit easier, thats what I want to do" he said, a bright fire burning in his eyes. Tasean truly believed in his cause, and now really knew the necessity of it.
As Aura demonstrated her power, Tasean looked on with wonder. "Well mine is something so awesome, and it isn't really something you can see. I've never really tested it's limits, I really don't too often use it. As far as I can tell, I can make my mind expand through light. Like I can be standing here but I can see something far away, by letting my mind ride the light waves. But It's not like looking through a pair of binoculars, as as if I'm right there" he said, trying hard to explain. "Like I could tell you everything that is going on in this place, as long as there is enough light and no closed doors."
Tasean's ability definitely wasn't any flashy show of power, but he liked it, it was apart of him. And he was beginning to think, maybe he should start using it more often. Who knew what he could do if he just practiced.

Tasean followed Aura's directions and took a few steps into the place. "Well if you want I guess you can call me Founder, it just sounds so...formal and I am anything but formal" he said grinning.
He looked around the foyer, smiling at Aura's explanation of what Sanctuary was and what they did. Before the attack on his agency Tasean wouldn't have thought there would be a need for a place like this. Now, however, he was slowly beginning to see the reality of the situation, and he could definitely feel that there was a need for the Sanctuary.
"I would definitely like to speak with your CEO if he or she is available" Tasean said. If his Agency was going to be successful he would really need to cultivate working relationships with with places like this, not only for monetary donations, but for help in general. Tasean was very much aware now that he wouldn't be able to do this on his own.

Tasean looked at Aura with a quizzical expression for a moment. He hadn't met too many mutants to date, and none had a power that was visible. Well Andrew did say when he makes a promise he gets those rings on his arm, but that wasn't the same as Aura's pink....aura.
"Hello Aura" he said before smiling slightly at what she called him. "My name is Tasean, just in case I forgot to mention it in all the mess a few days ago."
The mob attack at the Mutant Social Services Agency had been very scary, but it wouldn't stop Tasean from doing what he felt needed to be done. He had yet to talk to Andrew yet, sure that the guy probably hated him for the whole situation. That was what hurt the most, Andrew had been Tasean's first mutant friend, and first person he really connected with since coming to New York from the south.
Realizing that he was begging to get a little teary eyed, Tasean shook his head and smiled at Aura. "I just wanted to stop by, to thank you for everything you did that day. And also to thank your...company for the donation" Tasean told the aura manipulating girl, unsure of exactly what Sanctuary was.

Tasean leaned across the bar and smiled at the man and woman conversing. He didn't know either of them, but he was feeling rather friendly.
"Yes please have a drink, actually have a couple of them. I know I am" he said flashing his 'I'm gonna get in trouble and like it' smile at the woman before motioning for a bartender. "Give me two shots of something strong enough to guarantee that I won't remember this night tomorrow. I want to get chocolate wasted" he ordered, very seriously before placing a Visa card on the bar with a picture of a Patti Labelle on it "and do keep them coming kind sir"
Tasean's head began bobbing to the beat of Carrie Underwood's Last Name, but this time he didn't lip synced, he was singing the words, not quite note perfect, his hips swaying as he leaned over the bar waiting for his drinks.
