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.

Handsome? She thought he was handsome? Now real men don't blush and real men don't giggle. Luckily he was only half real man and therefore his face only went red slightly which might not of even been noticed. (It was the most notable thing in the world). "Okay! If you're hungry let's go to my apartment and then we'll get something to eat! Yes? Daniel crawled from the couch and stood, stretching. His whole body tensing as he yawned. The light didn't seem so bright right now and he felt like maybe he could function as a human being. The Doctor took a deep breath and it caught him, the slightly sweaty smell that you get from sleeping in all of your clothes which he didn't really have much of a choice about. "Hey Charlotte, would you mind if I jumped into your shower quick? Well obviously not in your shower while you're in it. Not that I wouldn't want to it's just that...I'll shut up now.
Okay so he wasn't the best with words but he got his point across right? Right?!
Daniel sighed at her and shook his head. "I don't have to be fun. I'm a Doctor. I'm the guy who replaces your liver should you ruin it. He suddenly sat up straighter and pushed out his chest slightly putting on an air of professionalism. With an entirely straight face as if he was really scolding her he spoke again. "That's Dr. Booker to you Miss." Daniel looked up at the screen and noticed the addition of bacon. Bacon was good. Really good. He had a slight craving for bacon now.
Beast seemed confused by her questions. Did someone need to do something for him to kill them? No they didn't. Did they Zebra need to do something for the Lion to feast on it? No it didn't, why was this any different? Fun? That was another concept she brought to the table. He did enjoy it. That could be considered 'fun'. "I am the predator, they are my prey. Human and mutant alike." He looked down at the young girl. His muscles tightening involuntarily. He was getting jumpy.
He had a few questions of his own for her. "Why do you care? About them? About me? What makes you think you can judge my actions? Who gave you that authority over me?" He bared his teeth at her for a few seconds. Snarling. His glowing red eyes trained directly on hers watching her for any movement that may indicate an attack.
Daniel smirked at her. "Didn't I tell you? Yeah, we're dating completely official. No more flirting with customers and inviting them back here to stay the night, it'd make me look bad." He looked up at the TV as she searched for the remote. He then heard her comment about him moving fast and he shook his head. "If I moved fast Miss Charlotte, I wouldn't of been sleeping on the couch last night would I?" He saw her change the channel to the food network and he braced himself for the onslaught of deliciousness that was going to hit him.
He watched the TV Chef talking about how to make the dish he was demonstrating and she shook his head. It was impossible. It never looks as good in real life as it does on TV. That was a fact, a cold hard fact.
Daniel scoffed as if he was appalled with her answer. "Excuse me Charlotte. I am going to have to disagree with you there....Your mother would be very pleased, I'm a Doctor I'll have you know. Who doesn't want their daughter to date a Doctor?" A smirk played on his lips as he winked at her. To be perfectly honest he doubted his mother would care who he was dating aslong as he was happy and his father would likely be the same if not a little more...approving of Charlotte because of her natural good looks.
Daniel watched her go off to make herself a coffee and he couldn't help but watch her, what else was there to do? The TV didn't offer any entertainment and it was little more than background noise at this point, barely heard over their...conversation.
Daniel shrugged as he sat down carefully with his coffee, trying not to spill it on himself and make him look like even more of an idiot but it's not like she would see with that blanket over her head. Taking a sip he thought a moment before answering her question. "I'm in no rush really. Whenever your head stops thumping." He laughed and drunk some more coffee, it was helping but what kind of medical professional would he be if he couldn't function with a hangover?
Daniel laughed slightly to himself as a thought occurred to him. "Spend the night at a girl's apartment and then bring her back to my place. My mother warned me about girls like you Charlotte." When in truth, he wasn't very good at the whole 'one night stand' thing. It always felt a little..off to him but he could pretend for a while couldn't he?
Daniel's attention was turned away from the TV as Charlotte sauntered in, now he knew it wasn't gentlemanly to do it but he couldn't help but laugh at her. Sure, his head killed and every moment was pain but seeing it on someone else was funny. It just was. He stretched slightly but it kinda hurt to move. He smiled at her a bit and responded to her question. "Pretty good, all things considered." The Doctor gazed at the TV, not much was going on really.
He stood up and made his way to the kitchen. He needed coffee, he wasn't a big drinker of coffee but he felt now was a good time. He searched for a bit finding the coffee rather quickly as he began making himself a cup. He called to Charlotte from the kitchen. "Hey Charlotte, I've got to go pick up some things from my apartment real quick at some point just letting you know if..Uh..If you wanna join me or anything but if you've got plans then I'm okay with going myself." Daniel put a hand to his face and smacked himself in the head. He literally face-palmed. He was an idiot. "Like..You know. If you've got a hot date planned or whatever I'll just be gone and I'll be back with some of my stuff just to warn you incase you plan on..bringing anyone back or whatever." He was still talking. Why was he still talking. He should really shut up. He just stopped talking as he returned with a mug of warm sweet coffee. His face was a bright red from just generally being an idiot.
Beast attempted to catch the girl but she was just slightly more acrobatic than he first expected but he didn't mind, a true predator must change otherwise they die. The Beast was about to grab her when her body was slammed by another figure, she was out of his grasp now and he was presented with someone new. His eyes scanned them. black hands with claws, not unlike his own hands other than the colour. Except it seemed this predator was on built on agility more than strength. This Monster however turned to face him and his tail lifted, clearly intended on stabbing him at some point. Perhaps it contained some form of poison, he'd been to take out that possibility.
However all that escaped Beast was a mocking chuckle at his opponent. "You call me a freak? But are we so different? Clearly you are a born predator, a perfect being to hunt as I do. The Humans and the mutants who look like them will never understand us. I am merely a starving Beast looking for a meal." Sure he didn't mean a literal meal. He meant a more metaphorical meal but he wouldn't let him know that. This was a strange time when Beast wouldn't attack first but this creature before him was obviously built to hunt the humans much like he does. It'd be a shame to kill such a promising monster.
Daniel smiled as her lips touched his cheek and she stood and collected the cat with her. He watched her walk towards her bedroom. "Goodnight Charlotte." He yawned once again and laid down onto the couch after removing his shoes. He didn't have anything to change into because he didn't expect to be staying with someone and he was going to head back to his apartment quickly and pick up a few things but he assumed it'd still be there in the morning. His laid for a while and eventually his eyes grew heavy and he fell asleep.
He awoke the next morning. The sun seeming far too bright as it entered the room. He looked around, at first not knowing where he was but he remembered as he looked around and checked his attire. Not a spot of blood to be seen. Either he wasn't very messy or he'd been too drunk to do anything. He slid his feet around and stood up, he felt dizzy for a moment but steadied himself. Daniel didn't want to wake Charlotte with anything and he knew she drank quite a bit so he rubbed his eyes and flicked on the TV, turning down the volume slightly and watched the morning news.
Daniel's eyes followed Charlotte's to the clock and he had to look twice just to make sure. He couldn't think that it was that late already but then again, what time did he get to the bar? It was already pretty late then. He listened to her think about going to bed and he nodded to her. "Yeah, I think that might be a good idea. We'll wake up tomorrow and start our first day as roommates..Oh I can tell this is going to be interesting. He laughed out loud but the laugh quickly turned into a yawn. He didn't know how tired he was until Charlotte pointed it out.
He was already where he was sleeping so he didn't really have anywhere to go but he felt like maybe he should say goodnight to her somehow. He got slightly closer and said. "I guess, I'll see you tomorrow morning." Should he give her a hug? A kiss? He couldn't quite tell where they were at.
A smirk stretched his lips as he watched her face go crimson red. He quite liked it. Daniel dunked his spoon into the Ice Cream tub again, he was a Doctor so he knew that too much of this stuff was bad but if it was so bad, why'd it taste so good? Surely having a few nights to relax and eat junk food couldn't be that bad. He sat with a cat in his lap and then Charlotte brought up the fact her cat didn't like people holding her usually. "That can't be true. She's lovely. He lifted the cat slightly and nuzzled her. "She's a cutie. Aren't you Shadow?
Daniel didn't intend to start talking to the cat but it just kinda happened. He turned to Charlotte and rested the cat back down on his lap and plunged his spoon into the ice-cream yet again. He was gonna eat it all if he wasn't careful. "Yeah, staying here will be just great. However I do request the talking about boys is kept to a minimum and in return I'm going to not lecture you on the medical dangers of everything you do. Deal? He didn't really know why he was offering it but then again it was slightly likely that he'd lecture her a few times whether she accepted or not.
Daniel accepted her answer as truth, he doubted many people could get so bad they can't walk very often and be healthy. Before he knew it the subject was changed and he had a cat in his lap. A very cute cat he had to say it. The Doctor then began petting the cat as he watched Charlotte get up and head to what he assumed was the kitchen. He sat there, scratching the cat's head as he waited for Charlotte's return. When she did return however it was with something he didn't really expect. Ice Cream. Everyone loves Ice Cream. He was one of them. She squealed and joined him on the couch again, offering him a spoon. "Ice Cream? Really? Am I one of your girlfriends now? Are we going to go to the mall and look at dresses and shoes and hand-bags?
Daniel dug his spoon into the tub and lifted a freezing, tasty mound to his mouth. It was good. It was really really good. "Ofcourse if you ever need help getting changed into or out of a dress, I'd be happy to help." Yeah he could talk to talk but he couldn't walk the walk. Infact sometimes he couldn't even talk the talk. "It's about time I've had a night like this. Far too stressful lately." He began slipping into a slight accent, the Canadian accent that betrayed him and showed his true heritage.
Okay. So Daniel wasn't that most suave guy around, he could be a little awkward at times and staying in someone's apartment that night you met them was something he didn't do so it made sense to him that he'd be a little nervous. He watched her for a moment as she positioned herself on the couch and closed her eyes. He just stood. Looking creepy and looking awkward. She patted a cushion next to her and Daniel walked over and sat down next to her.
Resting his head back for a moment he turned to her and smiled. "Sorry. Just not something I do that often. So...You always get so drunk you can't stand? Because I don't wanna be carrying you home every night. Daniel began to laugh. He noticed. She hoped he didn't but he did.
Daniel walked with her to her apartment, it didn't take long and he kept wanting to start up a conversation but it was hard. Wasn't alcohol supposed to make this easier? They got to the ground floor and Charlotte punched in the numbers quite successfully and Daniel tried to look at them and remember them but he got distracted by Charlotte's face. Before he knew it Charlotte had grabbed his hand and led him up the stairs, he was concentrating on not falling flat on his face and while he was doing that they were already up the stair. He looked at the door and he read it aloud. "2C..2C..2C" He repeated it quietly after his initial reading so he could remember it.
As he was let in and the door closed behind him, he looked around. It was nice well..It was nice before Charlotte blinded him with the lamp as he was trying to regain his eye-sight he was then introduced to a black ball of fur, named Shadow. It was the animal he was going to be sharing a living space with for a while. He followed Charlotte into the living room where he'd be staying, she spoke about how it wasn't much but he just smile and he even ignored the mess. It was nice. Comfortable. "It's nice. I'm so grateful that you're letting me stay here. I'm going to have to repay you...somehow. He winked slyly at her. In his head that was a perfectly legitimate line.
His target made a dash for the cab and his eyes focused. Going into tunnel-vision he moved out of the shadow within the darkness, his purple-skinned body clenching up as he got low and sprinted down the alley towards the White-haired girl. No-one could escape him in his mind and she wasn't any different. The Beast was looking forward to this kill especially. It seemed like those with unusual traits had a strange attraction about them. He wanted to kill them and investigate their deaths. Did it feel different? That's what he was interested in.
He closed in quickly on her however instead of attacking straight away, he dodged passed her and turned to face her. He let out a sharp roar and sent his arms towards the girl. He wanted to watch her lose breath. Slowly.
