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.

Kaz felt a bit of water splash on him, tilting his head back to see behind him, he saw the girls propped up out of the water. Slightly surprised he didn't notice he listened to thier words. Kaz kept his smile hidden inside. Lifting his legs, he put them under himself and launched off the ground. As he reached the crest of his jump, "Truce." He fell the rest of the way, curling into a ball when he neared the water's surface. Crashing down, he made the water jump straight up and arc away from his impact point, sending a small wave towards the girls. When he surfaced which was a minute or so later, he spoke. "You know, that cop thing is actually kinda funny."
The girls gasped and ducked under the water to avoid getting splashed, though they did get tossed around a bit underwater. Vibe steadied herself against the pool wall, and spread her fingers, before she headed for the surface. Amp pushed off of the bottom and followed her. When Kaz surfaced they both shoved, and with Amp’s help a sizeable wave headed in his direction. Guessing there would be a counterattack, they struck out for the far side of the pool.
“So Kaz, are you out of the banking business for good now? No need for any...apprentices, maybe? Or perhaps know anyone else in need?” The sisters exchange a sneaky look. “We’re willing to learn, as long as the pay is, shall we say, up to standard.”

As Kaz surfaced, a large wave came splashing down on him. He was buffeted back a bit, but stayed in the same general area. A disgruntled look was on his face for a moment, as he looked at the twins. A smile quickly coming to his face. "Nice one. Didn't expect that." He spoke as he blew water from his lips. Quirking an eyebrow at Amp's question, he treaded water as he thought. "As you can see, I'm pretty well set. I don't have much need for more money. Though," Pausing, a sly smile on his face. "Fort Nox, sounds like it would be fun." Swimming towards the girls, "I know a place where your talents could be useful. If you were up for it."

Nicki rolled her eyes as she got into Kaz's car. He was so about his material possessions. That being said, she could hardly blame him...they were pretty cool possessions.
They drove for a while, not too long, just long enough for Nicki to start to wonder how far away it would be when they pulled up to a warehouse. Nicki hopped out of the car, looking over the place that Kaz owned...
"Damn." was all she said as she looked up at it. "This is...this is huge" was all she said as she looked up at the tall building.

The drive was a quiet one. Though, perhaps that wasn't such a bad thing considering recent events. After a bit he drove around the warehouse slowly letting Nicki get a good look at it. He finally stopped the truck behind the warehouse and got out with Nicki. He smiled at her reaction. "Not to shock you hun, but this is NOTHING compared to inside." Moving to stand next to the large doors, he put his hand on a smooth surface, his face next to the wall and spoke. Having all the correct identification the door opened. "Hop back in." He waited for Nicki to get back in before he backed into the building onto the large steel platform.
Once the doors had shut and locked fully, he pressed a button on a control pad in his hand. Powerful machines moved the lift up fast and with a very smooth motion, making it seem as if the lift wasn't really moving. It was a long way up to the sixth floor. As it finished it's accent, it locked and secured itself in place. "Well, welcome to my home." He said to Nicki as he moved and opened her door for her.

Nicki thought Kaz was putting on false bravado. She thought he was trying to impress her with tales of even more possessions. She thought he was being...well...Kaz.
She was wrong. In fact, she had to keep her mouth from dropping to the floor. "I...I.." she looked around at the spacious place filled with so much stuff she couldn't even identify all of it. "You robbed a bank." was all she could say as she looked around. "This is the only explanation for all of this, you robbed a bank" she chuckled, looking around.

Kaz laughed quietly as he could as Nicki's jaw nearly dropped. As he walked around to the bed of the truck, he got his stuff out and started to walk towards his room across the large room.
"You robbed a bank. This is the only explanation for all of this, you robbed a bank." Kaz stopped walking his stuff falling to the floor as he looked back at Nicki. "Yeah." Looking over to where the 12 plaques were, "Twelve in fact." He quickly pulled his stuff into the room with the knives above the door frame.

Nicki looked over at the plaques on the wall, each signifying, what she could only assume, a bank that he robbed. What was amazing was Nicki wasn't all that shocked. She knew about Kaz's past, a past much darker than knocking over a bank, and the idea that this was part of it wasn't that out of the way for him. And besides, he didn't say that he was *still* knocking over banks.
"I'm chalking up the whole bank thing to my power" Nicki laughed, looking around the place, touching random objects. "Which means it's a very good thing, young man, that you never try to lie to me cause it seems as though I pick up the truth without meaning too" she smiled over to the silver-haired man walking around his warehouse.
She sat down on the couch, picking up one of the daggers he had on the coffee table and toying with it slightly.

Kaz laughed, "Nicki, there's no use in trying or thinking about lying to you. I wouldn't get very far." His tone was completely light hearted. When he reached his room he didn't bother closing the door as he threw his stuff around. <I'll deal with it later.> Kaz kicked off his boots and began to undress, his door still wide open. Pealing off his gray shirt he threw it down into the corner of the room where the dirty clothes go, a shoot that leads down to where the laundry is automatically done. His chest was bare, showing how toned he really was. Not bulky but every muscles was nicely defined though not excessively. Undoing the clasp on his pants he let them drop to the floor unceremoniously before kicking them at the shoot.
Kaz stood in his room looking around in the doorway in his silver boxers and white calf high socks. Looking at one of his suitcases he bent over at the waist and opened it, grabbing a few articles of clothing that were all very white.

"Damn right Mr. Kaz, and don't you forget it" Nicki smiled and stood up, wanting to see the master bedroom. She kept playing with the dagger, looking down at the beautiful finish. It looked ceremonious...Nicki tried to remember anything she had read about something like this but she didn't really recall anything.
She lifted her eyes as she got to the door frame and immediately lowered her eyes to the knife. Kaz was damned near naked. Silver boxers (Nicki thought that was cute...his underwear matched his hair) and socks were the only things that he was wearing. He had a nice body, Nicki could hardly ignore that fact, though recoginition of it just made the blood rush to her face faster. She looked down to the dagger, her eyes studying it as her face turned bright red. "Um..I..um...sorry" she muttered, her pure embarrassement overriding any thought she would have had to exit the situation.

Kaz didn't hear Nicki come towards his room. Partially because the entire building is completely sound and vibration proof, but also because he wasn't paying attention to her, but to what to wear. "Um..I..um..sorry." Kaz stood up and looked behind him. When he saw Nicki standing there, her face bright red, it took a moment before it registered in his mind why. When it did click, his face flushed slightly. "N..no. I'm sorry. I..ah. I didn't even think about the..door." He looked around quickly for something to cover up with. Not finding anything. "Um...I..could..shut the door if...you wanted. Or..umm...I..I dunno." He said with a nervous slightly emparashed chuckle.

Nicki looked down at the dagger, still playing with it a little as she looked up, a small smile on her face. She bit her lip momentarily.
"It's okay...you don't have to. I mean..I just wasn't sure if you wanted...or if you minded me...um..." Nicki chuckled, lowering her eyes again and smiling. "You know, you look a lot better than the last guy I saw in his underwear" Nicki smiled, looking up at Kaz again.

Kaz reached down and wrapped his fingers gingerly around the dagger's blade. It wasn't that he didn't trust the blade with Nicki, it's that he didn't want to take any chances of her getting cut at all, he'd feel quite guilty. Gently he got the blade from her hand and flung it back into his room, where it imbeded itself into the wall an inch and a half.
Leaning down, he kissed Nicki softly. "No, I don't mind you seeing me nearly naked." He smiled warmly at the girl. Kaz laughed at her next words. "Yeah, I'd have to say I look better than the last guy I saw in his underwear too." Kaz laughed knowing he was going to sound odd saying what he did.

As Kaz took the blade and flung it backwards, she was clearly impressed with it landing in the wall deeply. She smiled up at the man leaning up and kissing his gently.
She chuckled at Kaz's comment as he broke away from her. "Yeah, hint honey? You never need to say something like that when we're kissin..." she smiled. "Besides, I don't need to hear about Abyss in his tightie whities" she smiled again and wrapped her arms around Kaz's neck, sliding one her hands up the back of his neck and settling in his silver locks.
