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.

Something in Ty had always known that stepping back and letting Tses sort of dictate where they went and how far was a good idea. As a result, he'd noticed she was starting to get braver, and he more often than not ended up being the one in shock.
He affectionately return the kiss, but was unable to tell whether he was hearing her heartbeat or his own. Not that he cared. His hand slid down her cheek, then her neck, before wrapping around her back as his other hand squeezed hers. His eyes rolled closed, lost in the emotion of this moment.
Ty swore that every kiss they shared got better and better, and so he held this one as long as he could manage. When he finally broke it, his eyes opened, a dreamy look on his face as he took a breath of air. "Yeah, I definitely like that idea," he murmured, rubbing her back. He took in every feature of her face, not really wanting to let go.

Of course he'd be pointed somewhere else. Of course Ty didn't expect to walk in and instantly be told yay or nay. That was too easy. But oh well, if he got the job, it would help with both his money issues and his powers. If not, well...if not he totally wasted his time.
Hands stuffed in his jacket pockets, his right hand closed around a brand new bottle of aspirin. That, he knew he was going to need. Making his way down the hall, he found himself getting a little nervous, knowing he couldn't have looked all that professional. Knocking on the door felt weird, but he was trying to make a good impression--even if he did his usual goofy rhythm with the knock. He stepped inside, approaching the man at the desk and putting the ad in front of him.

Ty turned back to her when he felt a hand on his cheek, and he leaned into it, closing his eyes as she traced his jawline. It sent little shivers up his spine and he shuddered slightly as his lips curled into a dreamy smile. Slowly, his eyes began to open as she spoke.
"I don't know what I'd do without you either," he whispered, taking off his right glove before putting his bare left hand on her cheek and taking her hand with his right one. "But I do know one thing....I wish moments like this could last forever..." His eyes fixed on hers, taking in every feature of them.

Ty pushed himself to his feet, walking over to her and lightly putting a hand on her shoulder. "I do. I find every feature of your face and every curve of your body attractive. The way your hair falls, and the way your eyes twinkle when you're up to something. Your smile. Just....you." He looked her in the eyes. "I find it cute how you seem so nervous right before a kiss, and I find it amazing how much fun we have when we're causing trouble," he said softly, looking away.
"When I look at you, that's what I see. Not these." He traced his finger along a scar on her leg, then pulled it away. "I see you. And I love what I see..." He broke contact, looking at her, then away for a moment.

Ty looked at her, somewhat surprised by her reaction. He honestly expected all hell to break loose, but....it didn't. Though he made note that treading as lightly as possible here would still be in his best interest. Her body language indicated that she was feeling nervous and maybe awkward, as was he. He doodled in the feathers as she spoke and dropped the armband.
"Well...I have," he murmured without moving from his spot. "I don't care that you're scarred, I never really did. I see the beauty in you. You as a person. You've just seen some pain, but unlike me, it shows while my scars are mostly emotional or mental. You love me past mine, and I can love you despite yours. I still find you to be attractive, no matter what you or anyone else says," he explained, giving a genuine smile.
However, his cheeks were tinted a light pink, not because of what he'd said, but because he remembered that thanks to his power, he'd seen her undressed once. Not that he was going to verbally bring it up. He began fidgeting more with the feathers, looking away for a second.

Little did Harlan know, his 'fishnets' would land a Fish. The redhead pickpocket had seen an interesting ad in the paper, and figured it would at least be worth looking into. Hey, in his mind, he could not only make money off of this, but it would also be a good way to hone and train his powers. Not that he planned on letting his possible employer in on that last little tidbit.
Since the young man didn't have a phone, he decided to head to the address, dressed in his usual denim jacket, tee shirt and jeans combo. His hands were wearing their usual bandage and glove, and his hair was for once neatly combed, parted down the middle.
Stepping inside, Ty approached the receptionist and held out the newspaper ad. "I'm here about the job?" he said as politely as he could while trying to hide his underlying unprofessional Southern accent.
Ty gave a small shrug, though he guessed it would be okay. If he'd have stuck around and followed through with showing her Sanctuary, they could see each other all the time. He nodded, looking her in the eyes.
"I guess, but if I hadn't ****ed up we could have lived together, seen each other every day. You wouldn't have had to worry about that because I'd thought that was what you wanted. I guess things just changed while I was gone..." His glance diverted from her, and a tear rolled down his cheek, alone and stray. Just like him. Going against the grain even when no one else would.Just waiting for someone bigger to brush him away.
He bit his lip, fidgeting even more. "A man can dream can't I?" he squeaked before attempting to sink back into the wall. Sure, it was another slip up, but hey, a man couldn't look at his girlfriend in that light every once in awhile? "I mean, it's only natural, right?"
Ty waited for her to come back, fidgeting more and more as the color finally left his cheeks. Taking a breath, he spoke again. "I'm sorry. I slipped up. I didn't mean to say those things. My mind got ahead of my mouth is all," he said softly. "But I have a question. Just one, then we can drop this. Can you honestly say you've never thought of me like that? Honestly." The redhead began doodling in the feathers again awkwardly, eyes glancing around the room and bracing himself for something to be thrown.

Ty could tell she was uncomfortable, but he could tell she was trying. "I like this look on you though," he answered with a small smile. "I'm not exactly dark myself. Besides, I'm having too much fun in here. But next time we're out in the snow, I'll show you. I'm alot better aim with a snowball than a ball of feathers or an explosive." he winked.
He kept his hand on her knee for a second, trailing it down her leg then pulling away. "But, if you wanted to go get comfortable, I won't argue with you. You just gotta promise you'll undress for me more." He blushed deeply, almost purple.
"I mean....dress like this more....." He fidgeted a little, unable to believe he slipped up like that.

"Lucky Charms marshmallows are worth the cardboard crap. Plain marshmallows just aren't the same." He smiled as she mentioned snowball fights.
"Yeah...all you do is scoop up snow," he demonstrated with feathers, balling them up. "Make a ball out of it, and then pick a target and throw it." He didnt' throw the ball at her, just the door, but the feathers came apart in mid-air before they got there.
"Only it doesn't fall apart. It's really fun, especially when you have alot of people involved."

"Lucky Charms is cereal. It's got this nasty, cardboard tasting crap, but it has marshmallows in it, like horseshoe shapes, clovers, hearts and rainbows, and other stuff. Me, I usually always pick out the marshmallows and drink the milk," he replied, flashing a goofy grin her way.
"Oh! Snow angels~" Ty said with a small smile. "I never made one of those, personally, but the way they'd move their arms and legs made it look like the wings and the robe of an angel." Absently, he put a hand just above her knee, leaning against her.
"I was more into snowball fights, personally," he replied, sending her a mischievous grin.

"Sounds to me like you shouldn't eat so many Lucky ChARMS!" he joked, squealing and falling over as she poked his side. When he hit the ground, feathers flew everywhere with a whoosh, and he had to laugh as they rained down on him.
He looked up at her. "Nah, we ain't broken, just backwards," he replied with a soft chuckle. "No relationship is perfect, Tses," he said, staying where he was. "You just play the hand you're dealt. And I'd say we have the determination to play this out." He gave a nod, sitting up and brushing off the feathers.

Ty found himself hugging her back, and he smiled softly at how she looked peaceful. At least he was making her feel better now. He leaned against her a little, not knowing what to say. He just kept his right arm around her, his left hand drawing little pictures in the feathers.
"I'll be here from now on. I'll never leave you alone again. We can still do this, I know it," he whispered, looking down at the pile of feathers he was playing in. He'd drawn a heart in the white fluff, without really meaning to. But it was cute, and made him smile more.
Ty sat next to her, putting his arm around her, still sobbing and feeling like it was all his fault. His hand caught hers and held tight.
"But...I left you. If I had been here for you instead of hiding like a little coward, I could have prevented it, or at least gotten to you sooner. I feel like even though I killed him...even though he's dead...he still won." He lay his head on her shoulder, the arm around her toying with her hair.
"But...the thing about falling...you can't catch yourself. Not when you're falling from high up. But I'm here to catch you. I'm here to help in every way I can. I've let you down, I know, but that doesn't mean I don't love you." He nuzzled into her neck
