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 calmed down a little bit more as she walked. When they got to the park, Butterfly thought about how Ty said it was hard for Tses to show her emotions. Maybe Tses just retreated to not trying to show any emotions at all when things got bad, even if it did involve her brother. When Tses spoke to her and apologized, Butterfly started to feel bad. She didn't mean to get so upset. It's just that she really cared about her brother and she was worried that he was hurt. She told Tses, "It's okay. I guess we just have very different ways of reacting when something bad happens and it doesn't help any that both of us are really upset and worried about Ty."
When Tses told her what Ty said about being around her, Butterfly chuckled and smiled at Tses. " That sounds like something my brother would say." Butterfly paused a moment then asked, " Why is it so hard for you to show my brother that you care about him?"

Butterfly kept walking, but when they got to the intersection, Butterfly was surprised when Tses turned around to face her and just sat there and listened to what Tses said. As Tses talked, Butterfly was thinking to herself: Even if yo are street kids, you could at least act like you care. Sure a person can lose track of time, but Ty wouldn't just leave us like that. Something had to be wrong. She just knew it. She walked across the street in silence still slightly ticked off. Butterfly just couldn't understand how Tses could be like that with someone who cared for her as much as her brother did.

Butterfly smiled as she heard him say I love you too. She never really had someone to share that kind of love with, but her brother meant more to her than any of the family that she was around before she came to New York. She hugged him hard and then sat in front of him and ruffled his hair some teasingly.
When he said Thanks, Butterfly just smiled and shook her head, "You're my brother. I do it because I love you and you've always been there when I was scared or needed it." She didn't want the day to end, but she knew that Ty would have to go back and see Tses. Maybe one day they could all get together and be a family. Butterfly smiled as she thought about all of them being her family. The family that she should have had a long time ago.

Butterfly held him close and cried with him. She felt so bad for him. She tried to comfort him as best as she could but felt like there was nothing she could do but just be there for him. She listened as he talked and couldn't help but wish that Ty had a better life. He deserved better. She may not have had a dad, but she had a mom that cared, even if she was never around. At least she liked to hope so. She loved her brother so much and wanted to be the best sister she could be. She didn't wanna bring up anymore of his past. It seemed like too much of a touchy subject and would only make things worse. "I'm sorry Ty. At least I'm here for you. I'll be here for you no matter what. Whenever you need me."
She waited a few moments and rubbed his back and played with his hair slightly to try and calm him down." I love you Ty."

Butterfly just continues to hug him and comfort him. She didn't mean to upset him. She listened as best she could to him through his sobs. She felt so back for him. She knew that his Mom meant a lot to him and losing her was the worst thing to ever happen to him. Even though they had just recently met, Butterfly couldn't imagine losing her brother. She didn't know what she would do if that ever happened. She walked with him into the apartment and sat next to him on the couch. "I"m so sorry, Ty. I didn't mean to..." when Ty mentioned that the tiger came from his Mom and so soon before she died. Butterfly felt terrible and started to cry.

Butterfly nodded her head as Tses explained to her about not really knowing the street names and as she suggested going to the zoo. Butterfly kept walking, knowing that the park was close. When Tses mentioned wanting a power that could help with this....Like, a mutant finding ability..., Butterfly replied,"Yeah, that would be really helpful right about now."
When Tses said something about it only being three days, Butterfly started to get really upset and aggravated. She wanted to ask if three days wasn't long enough....if she really cared about her brother, because she made it seem like she didn't. "Only three days" Butterfly thought in her head in a sarcastic tone. She shook her head at Tses as she followed behind her. Butterfly knew that Ty didn't go to the doctor for his poodle bite. Somebody would have had to force him to go see a doctor. She knew he was in trouble. If she really cared and loved Ty, three days without any sort of knowledge from him would have been enough to make her worry. Let alone the possibility that he could be gone for longer or that they wouldn't be able to find him. It really started to irk Butterfly that it didn't seem to bother Tses about Ty being missing. Butterfly tried to hide her anger and just focus on trying to find her brother. At least she knew that she cared enough to do anything she could to find him.

"We can walk. I don't mind. Do you know the names of the streets around here? I know you said you don't read so well, but do you know of any streets or other places that you and Ty have been before that we can try after we go to the park? You've gotten to spend more time with him than I have really."
Butterfly started to walk with her. She didn't know where they would find him. The city was so huge. He could be anywhere, but Butterfly tried to stay optimistic. She wanted to find her brother. She didn't wanna think about the worse possibilities. Right now, her brain couldn't handle it and if she did think about it, then she would probably just break down and they would never find him. Butterfly prayed that she and Tses would find him soon. And hoped that he was still alive.

Butterfly regained her balance and told Regan, "Yeah, I'm fine. Just haven't stayed in my butterfly form as long as did just then. And yeah it does choose weird times to shift. Both in transforming into and out of that state. Hence the need for taking classes to control it."
She smiled at Regan, "Well at least you get to see what I actually look like now. I'm not extravagant, but I think I'm alright. You on the other hand are extremely pretty and incredibly nice. Should we go on? Maybe you can help me figure out some classes and if I should live here."

Butterfly looked at Ty and knew that he was about to cry. She could tell. When Ty pulled out his tiger and began to sob, Butterfly sat next to him in front of the apartment and just hugged him and held him close. She patted his back and tried to be as good a sister as she could. She wanted to be there for him.
"Awwwww, what did I do to make you cry Ty?" She tried to just sit and hold him until he stopped crying. She had never seen the tiger before and thought she would ask about it, not knowing if it would make things better or worse. "I like your tiger. It's really cute. Where did you get it?"

Butterfly watched as Tses pulled out the piece of paper from her pouch just under her skirt and took it when Tses handed it to her. She looked at it and read the places where Ty could be. She knew where the park was. They could check there, but some of the buildings she had no idea where they were at. The last place on the list was her apartment. She was looking at the paper and listening to Tses. "It's okay Tses. I can read it. We can look in the park. Most of the buildings I'm not sure where they are and he's not at the last place. That's the apartment I'm staying in and he's definitely not there. I'm sure we'll find him Tses. I know you're worried too."
Butterfly smiled back at Tses. She knew that she was worried and was hurting inside from being apart from Ty and that they had fought before he went missing. But Butterfly was sure that both she and Tses were determined to find Ty no matter what happened or what they had to face. She could tell the feelings that Tses had for her brother. Tses didn't have to say anything. She could tell it by the way she acted, even when she was trying to hide it.
"Let's start at the park first since that's the only one I know and then maybe you can help me find these streets and buildings and we can look there. We just gotta think positively and don't freak out or stress too much because then we won't be able to think straight. We'll find him. One way or another."

Butterfly nodded her head in agreement and said "I know, Ty. Me too. But at lease we have each other now." when Ty talked about wishing they had known each other sooner. It would have been nice to have a brother to keep her company and to share things with when she was younger. When Ty released the hug and wiped his eyes, Butterfly smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "You're the best family I've ever had, Ty. You are such a wonderful brother. I enjoy spending time with you and I'm glad that I have you." and she started to continue walking with him.
When he mentioned hating their dad more and telling her that she deserved better, Butterfly smiled slightly and said "Yeah I know, but so do you. I never actually had to be around him, which I guess protected me in a way, but you had to be around him and deal with him being so horrible. You deserved a better dad more than I do. I'm so sorry that you had to deal with him and that your childhood wasn't better, but at least you're away from him now and you don't have to see him ever again."

When Tses told her that she hadn't seen him, Butterfly started to worry more. Where in the world could Ty be? If he wasn't spending time with her or Tses, then something had to have happened to him. She listened as Tses told her about missing New Years, which is another reason she thought something was wrong. It wasn't like Ty to make plans like that and to not show up, especially if it was plans with her or Tses. Butterfly continued to listen as Tses reassured her that she hadn't done anything to hurt or anger Ty. When Tses said that Ty was pissed at her, Butterfly interjected and said "He's not pissed at you. He was just kinda hurt a little."
Butterfly looked back at Tses and knew that something bad had happened to Ty, but they had to do something. They had to find him. "Tses, we gotta find my brother. Something must have happened to him. He wouldn't just leave us like this. It just doesn't seem like Ty. Let's go and try and look for him. He might need our help.", looking at Tses for assurance and agreement to help look for Ty.

Butterfly rode on the train with Ty until they got to the stop. Butterfly got off carrying her own bags and followed Ty back to her apartment. She was still thinking about how much fun she had been having with Ty and about her having someone to spend time with and to love when suddenly Ty called her name and looked over at her. She jerked her head up and looked at him from where she had been thinking and said, "Yeah, Ty? and then listened to what he wanted to ask her. After he got his question, she pondered about it for a moment and then replied "Of course we would have been different. Past experiences change our personality and behavior, but there's nothing we can do to change the past we do have. But we can enjoy the people and good experiences we do have. Besides, if he was different, then I would never have you. And if I had to choose between having a dad or not having one, but getting to have you, then I'd choose to have you all over again." She smiled and gave her brother a long sentimental hug, something she thought that he really needed at that moment.

Butterfly watched as the woman paused for a moment after she had called out to her. That was the first sign that this was probably Tses. When the woman called out her nickname, Butterfly lit up and was more sure than ever that she had to be Tses. She was the only person that would be able to call her by that name and not have met her before. "Ty must have called me by that alot around her." she thought to herself. Butterfly watched as Tses jumped down and landed right next to her. Butterfly smiled at her and hugged her, finally getting to meet her for the first time. She got over her little moment of happiness and then said, "Please tell me you know where my brother is. I haven't seen him in three days and I'm really worried. Did I do anything to make him not want to come back and see me? Was I causing too much trouble between you and him?"

Butterfly kept looking around and then noticed that Ty had found what he was looking for and followed him when she noticed that he was heading to the checkout counter. When Ty told her that they needed to do stuff together more often, Butterfly smiled and nodded her head. "We should do something like this on a regular basis. Its a good way for us to spend time together and get to know each other better too." This was the most fun she had ever had. She loved having a brother and was overjoyed that he wanted to spend time with her.
Butterfly followed Ty back down the escalator to JC Penny and then out to the subway to the train. She got on the train and sat down next to Ty and thought about how happy she really was. Her father may have never been there for her and may have been a horrible father for Ty too, but at least they had each other. And that was the only thing that mattered now. That they have each other and wouldn't let the other go.
