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 nodded slightly; sometimes the young man questioned his own judgement. "Yeah, I try. But I sadly don't have that kind of patience. Which is probably why we end up arguing more often than not, heh..."
He listened as she continued to speak, and he couldn't really say anything. "Well, I can't say I blame you...she can be a little...rough around the edges. And the middle...and covered in cactus-needles...Okay yeah I'm not helping her case any, am I?" He sighed, giving up. "She won't admit it, but there is a sweet side in there. DEEP DOWN." He chuckled, giving a small shrug. Hey, he tried.

Ty followed, listening as Roach continued to speak. At one point he had to wonder how a bug could love to talk so freaking much. But hey at least this was rather interesting. Suddenly the bug doubled back and skittered past him, on all sixes, which...okay that was kind of creepy.
A fire alarm? Really? At least I haven't touched anything today. This would be liable to knock my butt out. He pulled the tape off of his left hand, then reached out and touched the fire alarm with his bare palm. And...nothing. Of course. So he pulled back and did it again. Nothing.
"Wait...relax..." He whispered to himself, closing his eyes and steadying his breathing. He pushed all of his aggravation, all of his pain, and all bad feelings aside for the time being, focusing on happy thoughts like Tses and Butterfly. Then, he reached out and touched the red box again.
~The fire alarm was rather old, and had seen more than its fair share of use. Sometimes in emergency, but more often than not it was just for fun. Every fire, every prank, everyone who so much as walked by it and sneezed flashed before Ty's mental eye. Some more than he wanted to see.~
When he came to, his head was throbbing. The thing was so old, it had Ty reeling. So, he pulled out his aspirin, popped four instead of the usual two. "Okay...I saw so much...People love pulling this damn thing, I'll tell ya that. Most of it seemed to be from the same guy. Maybe 15ish...smoke pouring from his ears. Oh, and at some point somebody streaked down this way...that's an image I wish I could have removed from my brain," he muttered, leaning against the wall to rest.

Ty nodded, climbing into the back seat of the cab and shutting the door behind him. He didn't say anything, he didn't do anything. No jokes, no remarks, not even a smile. The kid just spent the entire cab ride in silence, looking miserable. When the cab reached the mansion, he paid the cab driver and climbed out, taking Butterfly's things that he could get and setting it on the lawn.
Then, he sighed, brushing his hair out of his face. He felt like his entire world had come crashing down, and it was all his fault. "Does Regan know to meet us out here?" he asked softly, his voice miserable. He was a shell of the man he used to be. Didn't feel like doing anything. He felt like he ruined both his life and Tses's...

Ty shrugged when Rupert pocketed his ID. The redhead really didn't care, and the later it got, the less he did. Ty sighed, not really wanting to play detective, but it wasn't like the kid had a choice. Reaching out with his left hand, he took the paper between his fingers before relaxing, letting the note finally come to rest in the palm of his hand.
~The paper was originally in a notebook. A young man that could only be the culprit in question was scribbling the note, but that wasn't what caught Ty's attention. The page next to it stuck out because of the name on the first line written on it. 'Hello, Ty Fisher. I'm going to save your life tonight. Tell him you see a map, times, and a list of names. Below this, was everything Ty was told to see.~
Ty blinked as he came back to reality and his head began to pound. The notebook seemed to be fairly new, and that particular page hadn't seen alot of activity. It was almost as if Simon was specifically tailoring to Ty's powers. But...if he knew, why would he do that?
Ugh...can't think. Head...pounding. "I see a map, times, and a list of names," Ty said weakly. " Nancy Bellows, Jenny Catrett, Andrew Catrett." The thief paused, rubbing his temples before speaking again. "2:37 AM. A guy with a limp won't make it there in time. You'll know it when you see it" Leaning against the wall to rest, he decided he wouldn't point out that Simon seemed to be giving Ty's powers optimal conditions to work.
After all, by now it was almost three in the morning. Anyone wanting to keep him out this late and hold a gun to his head deserved to be screwed with a little.

Ty could only nod in agreement as Regan spoke in his defense. He knew why Tses was unsure about him, even if she wasn't. And he couldn't say he blamed her. This, by far, had to be the most depressing thing he'd ever seen.
But it was short-lived, because the child-like reaction made him smile; he just couldn't help it. Maybe if she'd let that side of her show more, they would have worked. But it was too late for that. Ty just had to do what he promised, because it was the right thing to do regardless.
Ty followed her to the kitchen, though purposely letting her win. He looked back at Regan. "I had no idea she loved cupcakes so much," he said jokingly.

"Actually, I was thinking maybe set them places where not alot goes on. That way I can train without scarring myself, hopefully." He gave a dry chuckle, knowing he'd already seen more crap than he wanted to.
"Hmm...not sure really. Unless you have any ideas for another method? Like maybe take something, put it somewhere or do something with it when I'm not looking, then I have to tell you what you did..." He scratched his chin, thinking.
"I think it should be worth it in the end," he answered, looking at her, then he shook his head as Regan told her what happened. "That...actually sounds exactly like her," he murmured, looking away. He didn't know how to react here, so he said all he knew to say.
"I'm sorry she caused you so much trouble. She...has a habit of doing that," he said sincerely with a small chuckle at the end, leaning back against the tree as he spoke.
"Thinking? I spent the last six blocks trying to lose a man whose head can come off," Ty said dryly as Tses showed up. Looking around, he began to feel...paranoid. He had to be smart here, even if his bright idea could cost him. "Glad ya made it, Honey~" he said with a cheesy grin, mouthing the words 'play along.'
Walking over, he wrapped his arms around her in a hug, then whispered in her ear. "I think I lost him, but I'm not too sure it's safe here. Turns out I helped investigate a bank heist involving you and some guy. We need to play this smart so nobody goes to jail." He released the hug, eyes scanning the room.
That hurt Ty deeper than it probably should have, his face looked as if he'd been punched in the stomach. "My name's Ty...and...I'm..." His voice trailed as he finished the sentence. "An old friend.Regan called me because you'll probably recover better in your apartment, surrounded by things you're familiar with. You're going to have to trust us," Ty said gently.
Trust. Ha. Ty really didn't want to do this, but he was the only one who could. There was no one else Tses had been close to. In fact he was probably the only one who was willing to go through what he had. But he didn't want to do this, not really. Emotions were going to be a huge thing here, and he knew it. He told himself he wouldn't fall for her again; just do what he had to do.
"We don't have to leave this second. As long as we get there before dark, we'll be fine," he said softly, his hand in his pocket clenching around the broken necklace and bringing a tear to his eye.

"I don't know," Ty replied to Regan softly. "As much as I believe in karma and bad luck, I just don't feel good about this in the least. Besides...she didn't deserve what I did to her, and she sure as hell doesn't deserve...this. I was a jerk that day. Now she's right back in the care of...me." He sighed softly, knowing that if she was herself, Tses would probably have a lot of less-than-kind words to say to him.
However, she stirred, and he looked over at her, biting his lip. "Cupcakes? Actually Tses, I came to get you home and take care of you. But we can do cupcakes soon, if you want," he said softly, wanting to cry just from looking at her.
This was not going to be an easy time on his emotions...

"Yeah, I did. And I know...I guess I'm a sucker for punishment or something. Trust me, there are a few times I wondered if I would make it out in one piece. But when we met, I saw...another side of her. You know, having fun. Then I saw her true colors the first time I kissed her..." He shuddered a little.
"It's a roller coaster, I'll give it that. I just tell myself--and her--that if I keep trying, it'll get better with time."

Ty kept his voice low, as instructed, his eyes darting back to her sleeping form every now and again. "Man...this is so...weird. And to think the last time I saw her I'd told her we were done...on Valentine's day no less..." He sighed softly. "I feel like this is somehow my fault. I guess I need to wait around for her to wake up until I try to get her home. I'll take care of her though. I'm not cold-hearted, after all. Just gotta put feelings aside and hope for the best."
He tried to look strong, he really did. But his deep blue eyes showed concern. Maybe deep down, he still cared for her. Or maybe it was just his instincts to ensure her safety. Only time would tell.

"I love you too," Ty murmured, hugging her back. Then, he let go and started moving her boxes and the TV outside, hailing a taxi, he put her things in the trunk, then looked back at her. "This everything?" he asked, waiting for her answer.
He was doing fairly well now, he just wanted to get his mind off of everything. It was too much, and he knew it was his own fault. He could only imagine how Tses was handling this. Hell...maybe she was better off without him.

"I try to be," he answered. It seemed like kindness was getting harder and harder to show to some. "Yeah, every rose has its thorn, so to speak. For every strength, there's a weakness. You may not have family, but you have friends. Sometimes, friends stick closer than family. Butterfly's the only family I have contact with, and we met maybe a couple months ago."
At the relationship bit, Ty gave a nervous chuckle."Yeah...I got a girlfriend, but...well, sometimes it's dangerous. I mean, I love Tses to death, but...well it's kind of hard to have any sweet moments when with every attempt for a kiss you're literally putting your personal well-being on the line, heh...She can be sweet when she wants to be, she just...rarely...seems to want to be..." His voice trailed off.
