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.

Butterfly smiled as she heard her brother say One day soon I'll help ya move it, "Thanks, Ty." she said and hugged him. "Well I stumbled across it, but it has a greenhouse where they grow their own vegetables and its taken care of by a white with green striped tiger-like mutant and she showed me around. I found out some information about possibly being able to control my shifting and everyone around there seemed really nice. Plus the kitchen is huge and is always open. and the rooms seemed really nice. And since I'm older I can share a room if I choose or have my own. And they have a lot of space outside around the place. The building itself is huge also. It seemed like a really cool place to live and the tiger-mutant and I got along really well. She even called me a friend. I'm sure you'll be able to come and visit me all the time. Are you okay with that, Ty? I don't wanna make it seem like I'm leaving you and Tses cuz I'm not. I just need another place to live." she looked into his eyes to see if he would be okay with everything. The last thing she wanted to do was make her brother feel like she was leaving him.

Butterfly saw Regan frown at the mention of staying in a condemned building and said, "I haven't lived there very long. It was just somewhere that my brother knew of to help me stay out of the cold. I was sleeping on a park bench before that. So it was a slight improvement."
As Regan said she thought she knew where she was talking about and that she wasn't that far away, Butterfly's face lit up. The whole time she thought she was so far away and was completely lost. "Can you come with me through the woods and help me find it? I'm scared that I will get lost."
Butterfly felt Regan grab her hand and squeeze it, her fur so soft and warm. Butterfly listened to her speak and squeeze her hand again. As Regan told Butterfly that she would always have her as a friend, Butterfly began to tear up and pulled Regan into a tight hug and said, "And you'll always have a friend in me, Regan." She smiled as she cried. She had actually made friends with someone. Someone who liked her. Someone who could understand and yet be so caring and friendly. Someone she wished she could have had as a child growing up.

Butterfly laughed as Chicka said that flying had to be cool. "Actually when I younger, I never seemed to notice when I shifted and I would usually go to sleep after I got back to my house and would wake up and think it was just a dream."
She walked around the park a little more and then over to the entrance of the park to leave. "I just like being able to walk around in an open space. It's kinda nice and it's relaxing. I come out here every now and then. I'm from Georgia. I grew up in Macon, but came here when I woke up to somebody robbing my apartment after my mom left me. All she left me was a note and the necklace I'm wearing. Though it's not like I was really close to her anyways, she never had time for me. And I never knew my dad. So I was always alone. Want me to walk with you home or are you okay going by yourself?"

Butterfly began to relax as well. She laid there with her eyes closed when all of a sudden she heard Ty say her name. She peeked her eyes open at him as he asked about her finding another place to live. This reminded her that she needed to ask him about whether she should move into that place she visited earlier. She sat and thought for a moment as she tried to figure out what they called that place. Finally, she remembered that they had called it "The Mansion." She opened her eyes more and sat up for a moment and said, "Yeah, actually. I stumbled across a place before you disappeared and wanted to talk to you about it, but didn't get a chance to. And then after you went missing, I thought I better wait for you until you came back so you would know where I was. They called it 'The Mansion'. Have you ever heard of it and know where I'm talking about? I thought about moving there. Do you think you could help me?"

Butterfly tried to keep walking, but she kept getting farther and farther left behind. She looked up for a moment and saw that Tses was coming back towards her. When Tses got to her, Butterfly did ask she was told and gave her hands to Tses. She watched as Tses took her arm coverings and put them on her hands and arms. They felt kind of warm, but the heat just sent twinges of pain through her fingers and up her arms. She quickly placed her hands under her arms just like Tses told her. "Th.....Th.....Thank You T...T...Tses. I...I'm S...Sorry. J...Just S...So C...C...Cold." she stammered. She didn't mean to slow Tses down. She saw as Tses glanced down at her feet and then next thing she kenw, Tses had scooped her up into her arms and was carrying her. Butterfly tried to snuggle against her for warmth. Butterfly whispered, "I'm sorry."

Butterfly listened and nodded her head as she learned more about Aura's powers and how she made the alcohol. "That's interesting. I'm actually kinda interested in seeing you make them now." she said with a laugh.
When Melissa addressed the issue of her safety with her blood in case of injury, Butterfly looked at exactly where to find them so she would be able to fix it quickly. "Alright. I'll try my best to not need them. So is there anything else that you wanted to show or teach me? Or that I should know?"

She smiled as she heard him say I love you too and started to play with his hair. I guess it was just a habit of hers. She did that to comfort herself, so she thought it might help her brother. When he talked about it being confusing and thanked her, Butterfly kinda chuckled and said, "It's no problem, Ty. I'm your sister and you know that I'll help you in any way I can. I'll always be here for you and I'll always love you. No matter what you do." As she said this, she felt him snuggle her. She liked snuggling with him. It made her feel like they had always been brother and sister and had even grown up together. He felt like family to her. And technically he was. But for having never grown up with him and being as close as they were, he was the best family that she ever had. She would trade all of her memories of her other family, to have more memories with Ty. This is what real family was like. And it made her extremely happy and grateful for who she had now. She had him and Tses. And that was all that she really needed.

Butterfly was shivering. She was trying to keep up with Tses but she was so cold. When Tses said something about needing to get some warmer clothes, Butterfly stammered, "Yeah, I do. I'm not used to it being this cold. It never gets this freezing in Georgia. I mean it would get down into the 20's ,but I've never had to be outside when it was that cold."
Butterfly kept trying to keep up with Tses as she walked, but every few feet she would have to stop and try to warm her hands and move her toes. They were getting so cold that they were starting to go numb. When she heard Tses ask if what she was wearing was all she brought, Butterfly said, "This is what I got when I first got here. Ty took me shopping before he went missing, but none of it is really warm clothing unless you count the pair of jeans I got.I was so amazed at how big the mall was that I forgot completely about getting a jacket or any long sleeve shirts. Or a different pair of shoes for that matter." Butterfly paused a moment, and then asked, "Hey Tses, I think I'm starting to lose feeling in my hands and feet." She looked down at her hands and saw that they were starting to change to a kind of purplish color. She knew that this couldn't be good at all.

Butterfly laughed upon hearing that her future boyfriends would have to pass inspection, but she was kinda glad that her brother was trying to protect her and look out for her. "I love you, Ty"
She adjusted herself and got comfortable on the couch after Ty stretched out. Butterfly snuggled against her brother, trying to keep warm. When Ty said Chloe, Butterfly knew then that he was about to ask her something serious. He only called her Chloe when something serious or important was about to be said. She perked her head up and looked at him as he asked his question. She thought about it for a second and then said, "Yeah, if you save someone you love and if your life is threatened like it was. Ty, they deserved to die. They weren't good people. Even if one of them was our dad. He hurt you and abandoned me and hurt Tses. Don't feel guilty for protecting your loved ones. You have a right to do that. And if someone decides to try and harm any of us, then they should have known better and should be prepared to deal with the consequences. No matter what they are."

She smiled at her brother and felt her heart warm as she grew closer to her brother. She wished that she would have had him around growing up. He would have been so nice to have around, even just talking to him. And she knew that he would have protected her from being bullied so much as a kid.
She smiled, sweetly as Ty told her that they had just kissed and nothing more, "Yeah, I gotcha. I'm happy for you, Ty. I'm glad that you have someone. I wish I could have someone like that. Although all the guys I tried dating never seemed to want to stay around for long. I guess I just wasn't their kinda girl. Maybe one day I can find someone that's as great of a boyfriend as you are to Tses."

Butterfly nodded her head at the idea of turning back. She started to follow Tses back out of the park. She was trying to keep up, through all the snow. She was definitely cold. She was practically freezing. The snow has melted as she walked through it, so her shoes and socks were soaked. And the wind would blow up underneath her skirt and her white shirt had collected some water as well, making the white shirt somewhat translucent. Her wing pattern slightly showing through as her shirt stuck to her skin.
She listened as Tses told her more about the cat lady. She chuckled and said "Alright. I'm sure that won't bother me a bit. And I understand. I used to be pretty distant being all alone before I came here. At least she has her cats to keep her company."

Butterfly smiled at her enthusiasm about her power and chuckled slightly. "It's okay. It helps if you need to get away fast, but I haven't exactly been able to figure everything out just yet. Though, I think your powers are pretty cool. You never know. Your powers could be more useful than what you think later on. It just seems kinda lame cuz you're still in high school."
"So what are ya doing in the park? Have you always lived in New York?" she asked as she started to walk around again.

Butterfly listened and got excited when she said she had a shower, " Thanks, Tses." she said and then smirked at her comment about Ty. She knew that her and Ty's relationship wasn't like that. There was nothing that was insinuated about their relationship when Ty slept and showered at Tses's. She knew that Tses would probably slap the taste out of her brother's mouth if he did try to pull anything like that in the first place. She giggled at the thought.
She continued to listen to Tses talk about her apartment having a kitchen, yet not being able to cook. "I can cook. I've been doing it for a long time. You kinda learn how to do that when you're left at home a lot by yourself. And I'm not allergic, so I'd love to see the cat lady." Butterfly smiled and her eyes lit up when Tses started to describe the one she named S'mores. She continued to walk around the loop. It was still snowing and they hadn't seen anything else of Ty's. Maybe they wouldn't find anything else. Butterfly hoped that he would come back soon or rather that he could come back. Butterfly commented about the snow starting to come down more and asked, "Do you wanna keep going or do you wanna just head to your apartment now?"

Butterfly laughed. She was so glad to have her brother back. When he mentioned him being the affectionate one, Butterfly responded with, "I know. I meant about her showing the affection back and initiating it." She made a teasing face at him and stuck her tongue out, then giggled.
Just as Ty stumbled again with his wording, Butterfly laughed as she caught him again. She laughed so much she almost fell off the couch. She kinda liked knowing that her brother and Tses were becoming more and more couple like. Plus, it was a good way for her brother to bond and open up to her. What else was a sister for. She would always be there to listen to her brother's "girl problems" if he had any.
She giggled again as she said to Ty,"Well that's good. Then you should really enjoy it more. Maybe she's starting to really come around and she'll continue to get better at it" She winked at him and grinned.

Butterfly listened as Tses told her about her being on the streets and dealing with snow. Butterfly just found snow as being a novel thing because she never really saw it around where she was from, but she could understand it being a bad thing for someone who didn't have a place to get out of it.
She heard Tses sneeze and she looked over at her and said, "Bless you." And when Tses suggested that they walk the loop around the park, Butterfly nodded her head and started to walk that way. "My apartment isn't great either. It literally is just a place to stay out of the weather. There is no electricity or running water. I really wish I knew somewhere that I could take a shower. Does your apartment have that?" Butterfly asked, really hoping that Tses's apartment did and would let her shower there.
