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.

"The sssame way back there you could tell who wasss doing gymnasticsss and who wasss moving, performing, living."
Kaz nodded, <The kid's quick.> "Exactly. You catch on quick kiddo. By the way, just out of curiosity, how old are ya. When I looked at your sheet, I only checked for your name, haha." Kaz continued to listen to Koga as he explained and corrected Kaz's thought process toward the judges. "Oh, that kind of hacking...ahh. Whoops. I guess I just assumed the other since it's what I'm familiar with, heh" Demi's expression and body language showed disappointment and Kaz might have seemed a bit embarrassed, but he couldn't tell if the disappointment he was feeling was his or Demi's.
~~~~~~~~
Koga's reaction after Kaz opened the case caught him by surprise which turned into laughter when he saw the boy's expression. It was priceless. Kaz didn't miss how Koga looked at the swords, he spoke softly, "If you want to test them them all go ahead..." He let his words trail off when Koga reached to grab the sheath of one but at the last moment grabbed the white sheath above it. Kaz nodded his approval as something he once heard popped into his head.
“These blades are breathtaking.” Kaz only nodded to Koga not wanting to interrupt him. Without taking his eyes off him and the Katana, Kaz picked up the two sibling blades (Wakizashi and Tantō) to the one Koga held and a stand for the three from behind where the Katana had been. As Koga did the few steps he seemed to know Kaz watched him carefully. <He could deffinantly use some lessons, but it fits him.> He chuckled to himself.
“ I, Like thisss one. I think it sssuitsss me. It feels right, What do you think?” He locked the case up after taking a small box from the bottom and went to Koga. "I heard something once, you might have heard it too; That a sword sometimes chooses it's wielder. Here." He said smiling and gave him a wink as he handed the two blades, the stand and box to Koga. "Everything you'll need to keep them clean and in good condition is in that box. Won't last forever of course, but it should last you for quite a while."
Kaz stepped past him and started heading towards the back door again. He paused only momentarily to flip a plastic sign near the door over, to let William know he had been there. When Koga and Kaz got back into the car, Kaz started it up. He started to drive away, "That was the back of Clashing Blades. There was a class going on up front. If you feel like you want to learn, Master William JoHansen is the best you'll find anywhere around here. You'll know who he is when you see him, haha." With that Kaz started driving towards the Revolving Doors.
~~"Exactly. You catch on quick kiddo. By the way, just out of curiosity, how old are ya. When I looked at your sheet, I only checked for your name, haha."
“Fifteen.” He had forgotten his birthday in March it had already passed and he hadn’t bothered letting anyone know, but he had gotten a lot, new friends new family, a new house an room, he was learning more than he could have hoped an not just from books.
“How about you?”
~~"Oh, that kind of hacking...ahh. Whoops. I guess I just assumed the other since it's what I'm familiar with, heh"
He nodded as if in understanding. “Doesss that come up a lot? Needing to hack people? I mean I guessss it would if you are taking on the ignorant.” He shrugged as if that didn’t make him nervous as it did. He said the last as more of a concession than an approval. The little dragon seemed to be less of a fan of him when he wasn’t being ornery

~~"If you want to test them all go ahead..."
“These blades are breathtaking.”
“ I, Like thisss one. I think it sssuitsss me. It feels right, What do you think?”
~~"I heard something once, you might have heard it too; That a sword sometimes chooses it's wielder. Here."
He nodded dumbly, well aware that Kaz just gifted him with three masterful blades, that were worth more than anything else he owned or would own for some time.
~~"Everything you'll need to keep them clean and in good condition is in that box. Won't last forever of course, but it should last you for quite a while."
“Thessse are mine?” He said it even though he knew well and good that was what Kaz was saying. “How can I thank you?” He looped the Katana’s belt over his shoulder and tucked the box and the stand under the same arm that held the Tanto and held the wakazashi in his other hand.
~~"That was the back of Clashing Blades. There was a class going on up front. If you feel like you want to learn, Master William JoHansen is the best you'll find anywhere around here. You'll know who he is when you see him, haha."
“I will sign up as soon as I can.” HE was going have to start mowing lawns…mowing lawns! That was it the answer to his problem. He had a year before he could work at most places with out lying and mowing lawns would rake it around the mansion…if he could find work. He would have to write him self out a schedule.

He secured the blades in the back of the seat with these nifty little straps that held the stand and the three blades in place tightly. Did they make this car with ninjas or samurai in mind? He would have loved to keep a good grip on them but he wouldn’t risk Kaz’s driving and his want to draw the blades. So he simply looked in the box of maintenance stuff. He was glad they were heading to a book store because he was going to need some literature on how to use all of this stuff properly, he would also be taking some knives from the kitchen before he tried to do any up-keep on any of his blades. He also wanted to be more informed about all the gear in general, what their purposes were beyond inserting a blade in one’s enemy.
“So, you mind me asking what you do for a living. I ask mostly because the car and maybe a career path I need to look into.” He grinned over at the man that was having as much fun as he should be if you behind the wheel of a top end sports car that wasn’t even thinking about being on the market anytime soon.
The shiny silver car parked in a small area in the alley that would have normally been for employees, but there wasn’t anywhere on the street and there were two spots open, He figured Kaz must know some people. He wasn’t surprised, or maybe he just liked the spot and took, who knows. He hoped out of the Car and looked longingly at the swords that were there but knew that they wouldn’t be welcome inside, he didn’t think.
