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 ego was puffed up a bit by Nicki's answer, though it deflated just the same when she said she wanted to be around here. Kaz's smile lessened just a bit when she mentioned the first time she was here. He didn't like what had happened. He looked away as he spoke. "I..I'm sorry about all of the lying going on. Really, I wish your first time here would have been much different." Looking up at Nicki, "Though I'm sure you'd love the rest of this place. If you'd like an actual tour. The others here would be happy to see you, well," Kaz paused as he crinkled his face a bit, "Except for maybe Syn, she's sorta been a bi tch lately. Ever since she found out I took you back to the mansion the other night." Kaz shrugged and gave Nicki a sly smile.

Nicki smiled, moving her head to grab Kaz's line of sight again. "Hey hey hey, none of that Mister. It happens. Yeah, it was lying but you went out on a limb and trusted me. It's okay. The first time was meant to be so I could see more of you and more of who you are. And so I could hear some things I might have really needed to hear"
Nicki furrowed her brow a little as Kaz explained Syn was angry. She searched her memory to try and find any ideas of who Syn was and realized that even if she had any they were probably lost in the overload. When she overloaded, she usually didn't remember things that happened directly in prior to them. She remembered coming down off the overload and speaking to Jupiter, but nothing with Syn.
"Why would she be mad about that"?" Nicki asked, confused slightly. "Did she want you to hold me here or something?"

Kaz nodded as Nicki spoke. She was right. Even so he wasn't happy about it. Oh well, it's in the past. Nothing he could do about it now. When he mentioned Syn, Nicki furrowed her brow, and Kaz had to hold back a chuckle. After Nicki's questions Kaz held up his arms as if to say: You got me. "I honestly have no clue. Maybe she's jealous of you? Maybe she's PMSing? No clue." Kaz's mind went back to the conversation in the War Room, where he threw the kunai at Syn. "I told her to shut up about it though."

Nicki made a face, not really knowing how to react to the idea that she hadn't even met Syn (or at least hadn't spent any kind of real time with her) and yet she already had harsh feelings towards her. Nicki sighed.
"Well I guess my attempt to make a good impression on your friends is kinda out the window huh?" Nicki laughed, her free hand moving up to her ear and pulling on the lobe. She caught herself doing it and, knowing it was a tell about the fact that she was nervous, she stopped herself.

"On the contrary. Jupiter and Abyss like you plenty. Syn's just.." Kaz paused as he thought of how to put his words, giving up, "She's a bit crazy that's all." Kaz let out a laugh. He watched Nicki reach up to her ear, but then put her hand back down. Kaz reached up and touched that earlobe with his finger. "It's cute. When you do that." He leaned in and kissed her.

Nicki smiled as Kaz told her Jupiter and Abyss liked her. She was glad that the feeling was mutual as far as the two guys were concerned. And she was glad that the 'Syn not liking her' thing seemed to be something not actually personal. She could deal with that a lot better than she could the idea she accidently pissed off someone she didn't even recall.
Nicki bit her lip a little as Kaz started to play with her ear a little, returning his kiss in kind, pulling away a little and resting her forehead against Kaz's. "So do you think it's the wrong time for me to meet the crew or whatever you wanna call your little cliquey? Since Syn is currently PMSing?"

".....Since Syn is currently PMSing?" Kaz laughed, not at Nicki but in general. "Not at all. Today's fine. Common.." Kaz stood up with Nicki's hand in his. "If we see Syn, and she says something, just blow her off." Kaz laughed when he imagined just that. "I know the best place to start your 'tour'. The kitchen."
