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.

Ty's eyes had drifted closed, relaxing, but they opened and looked thoughtfully at Noel as she spoke. "Yeah, I remember," he said softly. "We're not," he repeated, looking down as she touched his tattoo. Actually, he almost forgot it was even there. Oh well...
"It's usually a last resort for me. Especially when life is on the line," he replied. "I mean, I try my best to do whatever's right." Ty let her speak some more, but shook his head.
"I didn't just do this because I felt obligated. Like you said we're not too different. Aside from my sister, I had no one, really. I'd let people in, but they left. Or I left...But, that day at the antique store, we saved each other's lives. I saw a friend in you, someone I could count on. Someone who could count on me. Though...as far as what you become...you have a unique opportunity here. Something very few people get. A clean slate. You can start over, be whatever you want. Do whatever you desire with yourself," he spoke, then paused for a moment.
"What's important, is who you want to be. You're not a puppet whose strings I can pull, or a doll I can dress and make into what I want. As much as I enjoy your company...eventually you gotta do what you feel you have to." He let out a breath, relaxing in the recliner.

Ty nodded as he chewed on this. "True. And in retrospect...that relationship was probably...I don't know 75-80 percent fighting? I'm the emotional type, she wasn't...didn't really bode well...but...maybe you're right." He brightened a bit.
"Maybe I haven't found peace yet because I'm too lost in what was burned into my head as right and wrong...what I need to be as opposed to who I am or want to be..." he mused, expression sort of brightening.

"It's saved my life a couple of times, yeah," he said. "Granted I sort of stole a car. Saved me from going to jail, but again, I stole another car. Or killed people...I haven't exactly lived a saintly or glamorous life," he admitted quietly.
"Granted, that relationship was fun...for the most part...while it lasted." And taking care of said girl while she had amnesia was sweet. "Although...my gut also told me to go to a bar on my birthday...which I can't remember." He cracked a grin.

Ty blinked, taking the gloves. "Yeah, they're fairly new. Got 'em on Valentine's day..." His voice trailed off, but he just shrugged it away. He wasn't mad at her, not at all. In fact, he didn't blame her. He knew what she could do, and she was probably curious. If she saw something he didn't want her to, it was because he left his gloves--one of the few items that saw everything about him--where she could get to them.
He brushed the blanket and the jacket off of his chair and sat down, kicking back in the recliner, not really thinking about the shirt. He was in the habit of not putting one on after his shower, and he only hadn't forgotten before now because he made it a point. Today he'd had alot on his mind, and was dwelling on it more than usual.
"So...I take it you saw enough, even if they aren't that old, huh?" he murmured, thinking. "I don't know what exactly you were looking for but...well, with gifts like ours, it's only a matter of time before any and all secrets come out, right?"

Ty shrugged. "Maybe it's not as bad, but who's in charge isn't going to change anything, I don't think," Ty said bluntly. "I mean, people are going to do what they want, regardless, be they human or mutant or otherwise. Technically, regardless of rules or laws, you can do whatever you want. Just know that some actions have a price to go with it." He shrugged again, stuffing his hands in his pockets as the fight broke out and Tses drew her attention to that.
Ty glued his eyes on it as well, but he was torn between 'Oh dude, a fight!' And 'Oh yay a distraction!' Hard as he tried to be nice...Ty just didn't like politicians. Even if this one did have feathers.

"Because I screwed up," he answered. "That's what tends to happen with me. Either I screw it up, or it blows up in my face regardless..." He let out a sigh. "My gut is generally what gets me into these messes," he said.
"My gut is what got me chased by chihuahuas, bitten by poodles, smitten by what I thought was love, and it was my gut that had me throw it out the window. Now, here I am...sitting in a coffee shop, spilling my guts to someone I don't even know..."

Ty's gloves really weren't all that old. Well...they were a little over three months old, and hadn't been washed since the day he got them. Not that they were dirty, at least, not visibly. Unless you count the things they'd seen...
The gloves were put on when Ty bought them on Valentine's day, and put them on right after buying. They saw Ty and Tses spend the day awkwardly at the mall, then he rather unceremoniously dumped her. They saw a few killings and some spats with other mutants, and him sulking.
Then, they saw Noel's little escapade with Ty at the antique store. Led into a nicely set trap, and then fighting to help each other stay alive. And the promise that he'd have her back should she ever need it again.
Those gloves remembered his birthday, which he couldn't on account of drunkenness, and up to his meeting with a certain bug on a street corner...Everything those gloves had seen, they told.
Slowly, the bathroom door squeaked open, and out stepped Ty in nothing but a pair of blue jeans, a pink hummingbird on his chest--the gloves had seen him get that as well, a punishment for messing with the wrong mutant's jacket. From the glove's perspective, their wearer was a gentlemen, a thief, a murderer, and an all around smart-aleck. A jerk with a heart of gold...

"Actually...no," Ty murmured as he heard the familiar voice he'd been waiting on. Then, he let out an audible sigh as he found that it was merely a test, which the ginger had ultimately, undoubtedly failed.
The young man exhaled, letting go of the knife and shaking his head as he followed his...friend? No. Acquaintance? Maybe...The giant bug. Ty followed the giant bug.
"Okay, fine. I admit. I'm not very good at this. Kinda used to being on my own, ya know? I can get better. Maybe even past the phase where I'm ready to stab the first person who looks at me wrong." He spoke quietly, but he had his usual attitude, which was that of a smart-alecky street-punk.

Ty smiled back, but it too flickered as his mind began to wander. "I'm not so sure where I stand anymore. I do my best and only hurt those who trust me. I cling so tightly to what I held dear, but...in the end I thought it best to let it go. Now I wonder if that really was best. Which doesn't matter because I can never have it back anyway..." He felt his face turn beet red, and he shed his jacket, revealing a black shirt with a green guitar on it.
"steelblue]Makes me wonder how many other choices I screwed up..."

Ty'd had a long week since Noel moved in with him. Not that she was alot of work, or high maintenance or anything, he'd just had alot on his mind. Something was always going on. One thing after another. He kept his promise to Noel, then he ended up meeting this girl in a coffee shop who totally read his mail. And then an old...acquaintance decided to schedule a meeting and cash in on a favor Ty owed. Favor? More like an oath, but same difference.
As it stood, Ty's green gloves rested neatly on his nightstand, and his shoes under the bed. The redhead himself was in the shower, enjoying the hot water running off of his skin; it was...relaxing. Almost made him forget everything. Almost.
His icy blue eyes closed as he relaxed. On the sink lay his change of clothes. Well, jeans and underwear. His jacket lay on his chair, with a blanket--his bed for the time being. His shirt, a black one with a green fish on it, lay on his bed where he'd forgotten to pick it up and take it with him. But his shower was too amazing to think on that right now.

"You're good," Ty murmured. "I'll give you that." He finished his coffee, then folded his arms across his chest. "Maybe I do need to talk. But I'm not just going to spill my guts to the first pretty face that sits across from me and claims to know my life."
He sighed again, propping his chin on his fist, and his elbow on the table. "Yeah, she got hurt. I promised I'd help any way I could, so...I have been. As far as love goes...maybe I don't deserve it. Yes, I have hurt those I care about, but not intentionally. I just wanted to do what's right. Whatever the hell that is anymore..." he muttered, chewing on his lip some more. He partially wanted to just open up and spill his guts. And yet...he didn't. He couldn't.

Ty was propped up against a street sign; at the intersection of two back-alley, not-the-best-neighborhood kind of roads. His gloved right hand clenched tight around the 13-inch blade in his black leather jacket's pocket, just in case. He was tense, and getting more tense by the minute. Why?
Well, it wasn't the best location, as mentioned. But that, coupled with the fact that Ty was asked to meet here by a certain Roach. Who was running late. Very late.
The redhead let out a sigh, though the blade-handle in his pocket made him feel better; eased his mind quite a bit. But it didn't help his frustrations. "Leave it to a bug to leave me standing on a street corner for an hour..." Well, at least he had good taste in knives.

"Love? I'm not in love. I thought I was, at one point, but now...now I'm wondering if maybe love's just not for a guy like me."
Love is death, I cannot die....
He shook his head slightly and sat back in his chair, chewing his lip at her words. "So I have a girl staying with me. She's a friend. And one I'd promised a favor. So I'm taking care of her." He let out a sigh.
"So you're saying either you're a mutant, or I have all these quirks that tell you everything about me? Well, I'd be more apt to believe the former, but I gotta say I don't know whether to be pissed or in awe at how you're reading me like today's newspaper..." His voice trailed off. Maybe there were some things he didn't want seen. Who knew?

Ty blinked, sipping his coffee, but more interested in the girl across from him now. "Black and green are my favorite colors. But no, I usually don't take my gloves off. That's really a neat trick, but tell me this..." He leaned forward, curious. "How do you know about the girl trouble? I doubt there's a specific color or body-language for just that. Possible you could be a mutant, but regardless...am I that easy a guy to read? Or what?" he asked, leaning forward a bit more.
Something seemed weird about this chick, and she knew or could tell alot about him. One or the other. However, it did pique his interest, as noted by his big blue eyes and the way he sat on the edge of his seat. Maybe it was just what he was looking for. Who knew?

Ty jumped a little, looking up to see some white-haired chick, and the source of the voice that had spoken to him. The redhead brushed his hair out of his face, shrugging lightly as he took another sip of coffee.
"Heh...am I that obvious? Luck, Karma, whatever you wanna call it, hasn't been my best friend in the world. Hey, it may not be 'interesting,' but it keeps me awake, and at times, going." Ty shrugged, then he sort of blinked, confused by something she'd said.
"Wait...what question? It's not like I'm sitting here asking my coffee for therapy." The kid scratched his head as he took another sip.
