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.

Things...went south very quickly. What Ty intended to be his version of a picture book lesson for children turned into Camelot in the park. He quickly slipped his gloves back on, knowing it would be futile to pull out the knife in his pants pocket, but it felt good just to hold on to it while still keeping it concealed.
"Whoa, ****! I didn't know the phone was that important or I would've asked first." He tried to keep calm, even when the dragon stepped in. Though oddly enough, he didn't seem too surprised that there was a freaking dragon in his midst. At this point, nothing really surprised him anymore.
"Well, for one, the writers wouldn't like that very much," he started, keeping his eye on the newcomer as he spoke. "I didn't mean to hurt anyone; the kid wasn't listening, so I tried to use my...abilities...to show him. But as you see, that went to hell very quickly." Ty decided to keep quiet what he'd seen from the phone, as at the moment, it seemed like the sort of thing that would put another nail in his coffin.
"Look, I just blew back into town, looking into getting settled again. Once I get myself planted somewhere, I'll get the kid an ice cream truck to make up for it. Fully loaded." For the first time, he shifted his gaze to the boy. "That'd be cool, right?"
Although deep down, Ty somewhat wished he'd stayed in Kansas a bit longer...

Ty smirked as he listened; this brat just didn't have a clue, did he? He waited for the boy to finish, noticing a few things about the lad's attire. None of it was cheap.Now, it was still highly against his moral code to rob women and children, but...well, there was a little bit of flexibility, he saw. As the boy turned to leave, the movement was very quick and effortless, nimbly removing a glove and snatching the phone from around the boy's neck.
As soon as his palm touched the phone, his eyes glowed red, writing a few things on the phone just to be show the kid what kind of person Ty really could be, deep down.
-Several quick vignettes would flash in front of Panu's face once he touched the phone. Images of a few of Ty's favorite picked pockets and heists, a murder here and there, but intentionally, there were several shots featuring him and Tses over the years. Though there were sweet and /ahem/ intimate moments, a good deal of it was things blowing up. Then...it got kind of scrambled and blurry, mostly showing him running, a pool of blood, an angry woman, and him fleeing.-
"Hey kid! You might want this back," he called, holding it out to him.
But as he did, his other power kicked in, and he began to see the entire history of the object in his hand...

Ty's sleep was anything but peaceful. He hadn't had a good night's sleep since he left. This involuntary act of sleep was the same. Peace left him when he threw everything he loved out of the window.
Suddenly, he found himself jarred awake by some eight year old brat. But...the boy's words did something to him. The redhead tensed up, jumping to his feet, eyes blazing.
"Murdered?! Who sent you? It was her, wasn't it?" His voice was sharp, his fear long having been replaced by anger. "You know what? If you do work for her...tell her to come get me. I'm done running...I've got nothing left to lose." The look in his eyes said it all. If he went down, he planned to do so fighting. No more running. Never again would he do that.
Suddenly he snapped out of it. Wait...this is just a kid..." He rubbed his eyes.
"I'll be fine. Park benches usually ain't my first choice, kid. Too exposed." A gloved hand rubbed his temple; his head was suddenly killing him, much like when his powers first resurfaced. But now, it wasn't caused by an ability to see a murder after the fact, or to booby trap a doorknob. This pain...was human.

The sound of familiar grass crunching under the familiar black tennis shoes laced with green gave Ty feelings that were...familiar. It'd been too long. Far too long since he'd been forced into hiding for damn near a year now. He'd had to leave everything. Again. But this time, his life--and maybe the lives of those he cared about, were in danger. So, to save them, he ran.
But as his icy blue eyes scanned the park under the setting sun, Ty feared said loved ones would never forgive him this time. Too many broken promises; too many instances of claiming--and actually trying to--change, but always reverting back to the same tired thing. Would he try to make things right? If possible, hell yeah he would. But he didn't even know if things were even the same anymore.
Despite looking the same as he had almost a year ago when he left, Ty wasn't exactly the same lovable ball of mischief and charm that he had been. Though that was still there, something...something else lay under his otherwise same as always demeanor. Something...dark. A darkness, an intensity that now lay just bubbling under the surface, waiting to come out, but still held in by Ty's albeit loose code of morals.
His hands still cloaked by black fingerless gloves, he brushed his ginger hair out of his face as he moved to sit on a bench. He had to plot his next move. He'd need a place to stay. His source of income, he could easily come by as always. But there was one more thing he needed. Power. With the right power, he could prevent what he'd dealt with almost his entire life from happening again...
But for now, those deep blue eyes started to drift closed, his exhaustion finally settling in...

Enough time? Ty spent most of 'that time' in a coma. But like he'd said himself: life goes on. It was just fine when it was Ty and Ty alone under Roach's control, but now...it was different. And for some reason Ty never saw this biting him in the rear end, so to speak. He looked back to Tses, and her face said it all.
"Not like we have much of a choice, eh?" He asked with a small shrug. He was looking at Roach, but his remark was more or less to her. He tried to keep his face as straight as possible, not giving any indication that he may have been having second thoughts, because well it was too late for that.

Ty blinked at the question, then smirked. "Kid, I can see whatever the object 'saw' in its lifetime." He did airquotes at the word 'saw.' "I learned to uh...be careful when handling other people's clothes. Really handy with combinations though."
At this, he had to smirk, as the thought reminded him of his favorite shirt. Ty eyed the display Jude motioned to, mischief in his eyes. "You know...are dinosaur bone exhibits even real dinosaur bone? I'm sure they're just fakes and the real ones are hidden somewhere."

Ty's eye glanced back to check on Tses out of instinct. She wasn't quite herself when Roach was in the picture, and honestly...he didn't like it. But Roach wasn't the kind of employer he could just tell to shove the job and then go about his life. That, and there was something deeper than just business with Roach. Ty hated to admit it sometimes, but Roach was the reason Ty was the man he was at that point, for the most part.
He shrugged. "All I could think of to say. Doesn't feel like I've been out for three months; life just...goes on. But yeah, I sort of figured that's why you were here. So...what's on your mind?" he asked, just sort of laying it all on the table.

"Sometimes, you don't really have a choice," he replied with a small sigh. "Sometimes, life bucks and the only choice you have is to saddle up that horsey and ride."
Ty took the change of subject, giving a nod. "Yep; these gloves ain't just for a fashion statement," he replied with a smirk. "I can see the history of anything I touch, and that is imprinted into my memories, where I can't unsee it. Also, I can write memories or thoughts onto objects, that other people can't unsee. Still working on that bit though."

Ty too was asleep soundly, but the sound of the jar didn't phase him. What did, was the sudden green light as Tses went through him and the couch. Someone was in the house. Grabbing his blade out of his pants pocket, he flipped it open and hopped to his feet.
And then he was overtaken by feelings. Many many feelings: Yay, he's alive! Great, he's alive...Oh **** what does he want? Ty knew the bug wasn't just dropping to say hi, or that he was happy to see his favorite ginger alive. That wasn't really Roach's style, after all.
Walking past the bug, he poured himself a glass of orange juice and took a swig, then winced. Mmm...old OJ...
He set it on the counter, knowing his--friend? Acquaintance? Mentor? Boss? Eh, the last two-- would get the hint that he could have that too. Pulling up a chair, he grabbed a seat and looked at the figure.
"What's up?" Ty asked, not really as a greeting, but more of a 'why are you here?' sort of thing.

"Pretty much, yeah. They can't convict ya for it if they can't pin it on ya," he said with a shrug.
He listened, nodding as he tried to think of something to say in response, but came up drawing a blank. "Heh...yeah...girls are complicated that way. I'm sure there's not even a mutation that exists to help us guys understand them." This was confusing, and Ty was far from an expert on the matter; he just hoped he was at least doing a little good.
"Yeah, try that. One'll come along you can hang onto," he replied, following the kid deeper into the museum.

He had to admit, after awhile the TV caught his attention, but the next thing he knew, she was curled up against him. Instinctively, his arms wrapped around her, holding her close as he felt her drift to sleep.
His hands moved along her skin just as they used to, and his own eyes closed. Things seemed, once again, to be as they should be. He didn't go to sleep right away, he was just taking in all of the senses, the sounds, the feeling of holding her close.

Ty lay on his side, resting his head on the arm of the couch and leaving his feet planted on the floor. The kitten above gave a lazy yawn as she curled up in her spot, relaxing for probably the first time in months.
At Tses's remark, he gave a laugh of his own. "True...very true," he replied, brushing his red hair out of his face. It was only now that he realized how much his hair had grown, and the facial hair he was now sporting was quite scruffy.
Between noticing his own appearance, and admiring hers for the first time in ages, he really wasn't paying much attention to the T.V. But then again...it didn't really matter. What mattered was that things were back to normal. Well...as normal as they could be, all things considered.

Ty gave a bit of a chuckle. "Karma, right...I mean, sure we aren't exactly law abiding citizens, but we don't exactly go around kicking puppies as an extra-curricular activity either." He slid over to accommodate her, admittedly enjoying the view. Hey, she still hadn't put a shirt on, so why not?
He popped a DVD into the player and turned the TV on as Mischief snuggled onto the back of the couch, behind the couple's heads. "You know...our relationship is messed up. It's nothing fancy, and to most it doesn't even make sense. But it's ours..." he said quietly.

"I'm trying to, and at the same time I'm trying not to take it personally," he said softly. "Why is it every time we make progress, something happens out of our control to push it back? Sometimes it seems like whoever's out there hates us." He wasn't frantic or angry when he spoke, just...wondering.
He smiled when she pointed out what she 'found.' He knew full well it meant she stole it, but that tugged at his heartstrings even more. After finishing his noodles, he stood up, putting his plate in the sink and headed to the living room. As he passed her, he put his arms around her in a quick side-hug, kissing her on the cheek. "You're the best," he whispered before letting go and making his way back to the living room and lying on the couch.

Ty stopped eating, listening as she explained. He wished he knew how she felt, but he didn't. To him it was easy to settle into the same old routine, because to him, it didn't feel at all like he had been in a coma.
He sighed, looking at her long and hard. "It didn't. To me, it was just like any other time I went to sleep. I just woke up and was informed three months had passed. I know that much time has passed, but...it feels as though I never left. Sure, I'm still weak as all get out, and it feels weird, but...it's confusing. I mean, it feels like a day went by, but Mischief's grown up, and you're obviously hurt over my absence. It's alot to wrap my brain around. In my mind, it seems like life just goes on, business as usual. But I know that's not how it's supposed to be."
He looked into her eyes, studying her face as if the answer to make everything better lay in there somehow.
