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 stood there listening to every word he said. She was intrigued with what he saw in the vision. She concentrated on his words, really taking them all in and letting them settle. She never knew her dad. She knew nothing about him and always wondered when she was younger why he was never around in her life.
When Ty said that he was her half brother, she didn't know what to say. She stood there for a moment with her jaw dropped and then she closed it and took a moment to gather her thoughts. This was so much to take in all at one time.
When she finally spoke, she kinda let all of her anxiety escape into her words. "How can you be my half brother? I'm not even from around you and I don't even really know you that well. What makes you so sure that your dad is my dad? What if he was just another guy my mom dated? She's had too many to count and she never stayed around long enough to even tell me about my dad. Are you sure that the guy from the vision was your dad?"
She paused for a moment. "Are you sure you're my half brother?" she asked, looking straight into his eyes with seriousness and hope. She wanted it to be true. She hoped that it was. But she was so scared that he would abandon her just like the rest of her family had. Now even more so with it being a possibility that they were actually related. She was sure that now he really wouldn't want to have anything to do with her. What reason did he have to care for her? He hadn't known about her before now and what made that moment any different?
"You don't want anything to do with me now, do you?" she asked, hanging her head low. "Are you gonna leave me too? Like my mom and dad and everyone else I get close to?" she said, starting to cry and thinking about all the pain that had built up over the years of trying to act like she didn't care.
She backed up against the wall and slid her back down it. She pulled her knees up to her chest with her arms and put her head on her knees, still crying.

"Alright" she said, taking a deep breath and relaxing a bit. She continued to listen to what he said. "That really freaked me out, man."
She listened more. She was intrigued by his power. "So that's why you wear gloves all the time. And I bet that must suck, getting headaches all the time." When he asked about her Mom giving her necklace to her, she asked "What did you see?" And when he asked about her Dad, she replied, "I don't know anything about my dad. I've never met him. He's never been there for me at all in my life. Why do you ask?"

Butterfly looked at Ty and saw that he had found her necklace. She ran over to him, but it looked like he wasn't "there" and his face was pale.
Butterfly started to panic. "Ty! Ty! Can you hear me?" she called out, waving her hands in front of his face. "What the hell is happening?" she said to herself, she felt completely helpless.
When he finally came to, she looked at him straight in the face and asked "What happened? One moment I see you go to pick up my necklace, the next you're all pale and non-responsive and I had no idea what to do."

"Alright, but know of any markets around here? I'm craving carrots, for some reason." she asked. "Maybe I'll just tag along. Not necessarily stay there. Maybe I can find another empty building like this one to stay in. At least I'll have a roof over my head and it won't be so cold."
Butterfly went to get up. She flung her long, black hair behind her and when she did this, her mother's necklace fell off from around her neck and landed on the ground. She finished standing up before she realized the necklace was gone. She felt around her neck and down at her shirt, wondering where it had gone.

"Not really" she told him. "Actually I have no idea what to do or where to go around here. I don't even have somewhere to go. I've been crashing on a park bench. I flew to Atlanta, got on a train and came here after I woke up to someone robbing my apartment in Macon."
"You're the first person I really met and talked to, even if I was teasing you." she replied.
"Besides, who's gonna be there to help you when the next dog comes and tries to attack you?" she said, jokingly feeling herself starting to become attached to him.
"You mentioned the Sanctuary place earlier. How far away is that? Maybe we can make it there now that we're cleaned up." she said with her head hung low, sort of expecting him to tell her that she couldn't come and that he wanted her to just leave him alone. "Just when I was starting to feel like I had someone for once." she thought to herself.

She opened her eyes, feeling him just clean away the excess blood. Then she watched as he tilted the bottle onto a cotton ball. She bit her lip and winced when he started cleaning the wound. It stung. Bad. "F---", she said trying not to cuss.
"Easy for you to say." she said to the "That wasn't so bad, was it?" remark, shaking her head and making a teasing face at him.
"And so far as a plan? I got nothin. I've only been here for a couple days. I don't even really know my way around this freaking city. The plans all on you. If you want me to leave, then I guess I'll just wander around and find somewhere to stay eventually. I can make it on my own if I need to." she replied.

"Alright." she said, and smiling when he said the numbness was wearing off. And she calmed down when he said that he could bandage it and that it wouldn't need to be stitched up.
After getting the stuff from the store, they walked to this old building. She wondered what it used to be before being abondoned. All she knew was that she didn't wanna go back to the park that night. They walked inside and sat down. Ty started to clean himself up and then put on his new socks. When he turned to her and said that it was her turn now, she kinda got uneasy. She didn't like the idea of pouring peroxide on a cut she thought was pretty deep. She started to scoot back a little. Unfortunately, she couldn't scoot back too far cuz she finally hit a wall. She could only close her eyes and hope that it didn't hurt too bad.

"What was that?!?" she said, raising her voice hearing him mumble under his breath. "If you have something to say, then say it to my face. I could just leave your behind to limp and make your way around with a numb hand for however long." she spat, just about ready to drop him and walk away.
She kept walking, trying to focus on helping him and trying to resist changing. This would be her first attempt at trying to control her powers. She walked in the direction that he was indicating and then posed the question "Well after we get what we need from the store, do you have a place to crash at or should we just go to the park where I've been crashing?" "To be honest, I don't wanna spend another cold night on a park bench, but that's just me."
She checked underneath her sock to see if she was still bleeding and she was. "Ty, I'm still bleeding. What are we gonna do? I hope that it's not so deep that it needs stitches. I can't stitch myself up. If it needs to be done, can you do it? Or at least drop me off at the hospital?" "Maybe afterwards, I'll be able to find my way back in this huge city." she said, still following him around.

"Don't give me that look! I didn't know my blood would numb your freaking hand." she said, standing kinda close to make sure he kept his balance.
"Unless you can form a living breathing human or animal from a trash can or dead plant, then who else am I supposed to test it on unless you want me to just randomly bump into someone and hope that I smear blood on them and hope that it works."she said. "And you obviously can't walk straight on your own because you look like you're about to fall over any second." saying this as she tried to put her arm around him and help him walk better.
"You need to go to the hospital, but if you insist on just "rednecking it" then I'll help you get what you need as long as I don't have to steal it." she said in a serious tone. "So where's the nearest store?" she asked, waiting on his direction.

She got up, starting to walk with him and wondering if she needed to help him walk to wherever they were going. "Maybe it won't last too long." she said, trying to be hopeful.
When he suggested testing it out and him not being the guinea pig, she replied with "Well, I don't exactly see anyone else in the alley besides me and you. And considering that it is my blood, I don't think that it would affect me."
She continued walking with him. "Do I need to help you walk? And where are we even going?" she asked, looking at him and wondering why she seemed to be sticking with him other for the numb hand thing. This was very unlike her. She was so used to being by herself that she never really stayed around anyone long. This thought sort of confused her a bit. "Oh well. Maybe he'll be helpful at some point." she thought to herself.

"I didn't do anything. I SWEAR. Since all you did was touch my blood, the only logical thing to think is that there must be something in my blood that made your hand go numb. So just don't touch my blood anymore and you should be fine. Hopefully" she said, trying to pull her knee high sock up to cover her wound and applying pressure. "Good thing, these socks are pretty dark." she thought to herself, hoping it wouldn't bleed through the material.
"Well, since I did it to you. I guess I might as well stick around until you either get better or worse. And figure out how this numbing agent works in my blood." She sat there for a second, still applying pressure and looking at Ty's hand, realizing that he had gloves on and that he must have only gotten a little bit of her blood on him, but was astounded at the fact that his whole hand was numb and that whatever it was in her blood didn't take long to have an affect on Ty.

When he came back with the girlfriend comment, she retorted "I don't care if you have a girlfriend. I just know that if you look up my skirt, then there will be consequences." As she said this, she looked over her shoulder and looked at him. After she dropped and cut her leg, she realized that Ty had come over to try and help her. When all of a sudden, he began to freak out about his hand going numb. "I didn't do anything, I swear." She wondered what had happened to make his hand go numb. "What did you do before your' hand went numb?" she asked, trying to figure this out. "Did he hurt his hand on his way over to help me? Did he touch something and began to have an allergic reaction? Is there something else about me that made his hand go numb?" she thought to herself. She knew that she could turn into a butterfly when she tensed up and was scared or angry, but was there something more to her "powers"? She didn't know. She began to feel uneasy, not knowing what to do, where to go, or how long his hand would be like that. She tried not to tense up and remain calm. Now would be a bad time for her to change into a butterfly. Then she would be rendered completely useless to him. "What were they gonna do?" she thought.

She watched as Ty tried to get ready to climb down and then proceeded to climb down. She then looked down the ladder and started to climb down. Then she realized that he was on the ground and that she was wearing a skirt. As quick as she realized this, she quickly yelled down to him "If you so much as look up my skirt....Well, I don't know what I would do, but trust me it won't be good." She continued to climb down the rungs. When she got to the bottom rung, she let go, but she didn't land very well. Her feet buckled underneath her and she fell. As she fell, she managed to land on a broken beer bottle and cut her thigh. "Crap." she said, looking at the cut.

She watched him manage to get up and stand. "Look who's not helpless anymore." she said with a smirk. "But you didn't have to do all of that just for me. And I like it, more than I like Chloe anyway."
She stood there for a moment, saying "Butterfly" over and over to herself, loving how it sounded.
"So should we climb down or go up? Or do you need another minute to rest?" she said, wondering if she really wanted to stick around or just get lost. To her, Ty wasn't anybody special yet, but she was in a big city and might need someone to help her find a place to stay. If anything she could use him to help her get ahead. Who knows, maybe he could be a friend?
"Nah" she thought to herself. "He'll leave just like everyone else did. Never trust anyone. Only rely on yourself. That way it doesn't hurt so bad when people do leave you."

Butterfly smiled when he sort of got offended at being called human. She would too, but his reaction was too funny. And she smiled when he figured out that she was the butterfly. "Looks like you do have some sense about you after all." laughing as she said this. When all of a sudden, she started to change back into her human self. Thankfully she was hovering about the fire escape grate and not in the middle of the air. She realized this as her feet touched the bottom of the grate and no longer felt her wings beating against her body. "Well I guess this is as good a time as any to officially meet each other." she said, standing in front of him wearing her black flats, purple knee high socks, black skirt, vest, and button down shirt. She began to rest herself against the banister of the escape. "I'm Chloe."
