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.

Kaine Emerged in the foyer of the sanctuary building out of the shadow of a plant pot, still dressed only in the bottom half of a set of green scrubs. He walked to wards the reception desk his feet leaving bloody smears as he walked slowly.The wound on his shoulder was still open and dripping blood down his chest as was the wound on his arm from his drip.
"I want to speak to Mr King" Kaine said in a short tempered violent voice "now" his voice seemed to carry around the foyer in a inhuman manner
"I'm afraid Mr king is not taking private appointments right now"
Kaine became extremely angry a vein in his forearm started to pulsate aggressively "I don't think you understand me I said I want to see him now" With this Kaine picked up the computer screen tearing it from the control stand and keyboard she was rudely typing into and threw it against the wall watching it smash
"Now is he going to talk to me or am i going to have to start throwing people" Kaine said in an eerily calm voice
"Mr. King, there's someone here to see you right away." buzzed the intercom on Dorian's desk.
"Tell them I'm busy." he muttered.
"I don't think you understand sir, he wants to see you now"
Slightly worried about the tone of the receptionist's voice, Dorian replied "I'll be down there right away."
Donning his overcoat and gloves, Dorian looked at himself in the mirror to see that he was presentable, and left the room, heading for the elevator that would take him to the foyer. Getting out, Dorian saw a tallish man with a gaping wound on his shoulder. Noting the smashed computer on the ground,
"And what may we do for you today, sir?" Dorian said cooly, a grin starting to form on his face.

((OOC: Sorry for lack of postage, unexpected visitation from family members and then work called me in early.))
Looking at the reptile, "I'm not glaring at you, not now and nor have I. I'f you took my earlier look as a glare instead of just a look of annoyance, then your perception is worse than you look." Taking a breath, "Though I'm glad you changed to what I assume is your actual self, you seem pretty stupid jumpin in like that, without even getting changed. Gonna be pretty embarassing to walk to your room with all your clothes soaking wet. And though I didn't ask YOU, I'll answer." Pausing, "I'm currious. Satisfied?"
Kneeling down to be more at eye level with the girl. "I've been here for two weeks or so." He looked at the boy then back to her, "I'm guessing he's one of the 'others' you came here with. How many others followed you?" Not trying to hide it at all as he looked her over, <She's not bad lookin, even if the water is distorting her a bit.>
Suddenly Raptor could no longer control it "Others, shes my friend right?" he asked looking to Syn for a little a help "Besides do I look wet to you however I will be wet the next time I transform into my Raptor form," he put emphasis on the word raptor "Unlike you I know what natural beauty," he walked off going back to find out waht Isabelle was doing

((OOC: Umm..Raptor..you are in the water, you are wet and you didn't change or get undressed. "Jonas muttered then went down to the gym to have a swim he changed into his raptor form and dived in" "he was soaked in sweat so he just dived in swimming around her"))
Looking up when the boy spoke, 'Besides do I look wet to you.' Kaz shame!ed an eyebrow at the boy, "Well, you are in the water, I should be able to leave it at that. But seeing as you don't think you're wet, I feel I should point it out," He reached down and put his hand in the water, "This is water," He raised his hand and flicked the water at the boy's face, "And it is naturally wet and makes things that it touches wet. Since you are IN the water, you ARE wet." He laughed as the boy got out of the pool. "You really think your little lizzard self could catch me?" He paused for a moment, "Well, lets not test that now, I don't want to make you feel bad."
Syn stayed near the edge of the pool as the new boy was talking to her and Raptor. The boys weren't getting along very well. That much was obvious to her and she didn't even have to use any powers. She smiled to herself. It was kind of nice though.
Syn watched as Raptor left to go find Isabel in the library before returning her gaze back to the new boy. "So what have you done here during your two week stay?" She noticed him trying to check her out through the distortion of the water. So she helped him out by pushing herself up out of the pool and standing up. "Would you mind getting me a towel?"

"Not too much actually. Been avoiding some of the other residents, they can be quite annoying. And they tend to leave me alone, since they prefer not to have their skull's broken." Pausing for a thought. Holding up his hands in an innocent gesture, "Honestly, I'm not that violent, but I had to make an example of a few of them. Otherwise I've been in there," He pointed into another room, passed the sauna to the gym, "for kicks, or up in the library reading up on my hobbies. I chat it up with certain people here, or I'm in there." He pointed down into the water.
He watched her make her way out of the pool, he had his hand out just in case, but not expecting she would need help. 'Would you mind getting me a towel?' She asked. <Deffinantly a sweet voice.> "Sure, I'll be right back in just a moment." Litterally a moment had passed since he moved from his spot and returned with a towel in his hand. He held it out for her. "Here you are."
She could see he had an interest in her when he returned rather quickly with a towel for her. Syn dried her hair some and began wiping the rest of herself down as best she could while still talking to the new boy. "My name is Syn by the way. What's yours?" She watched his eyes follow the towel as it soaked up the water running down her legs. "So am I annoying you then?" she said with a smile.

<Mmmm...damn....> His mind trailed off as he watched the towel. "Hardly," A grin on his face as his eyes moved back up from her legs to eyes, "if you were annoying me, I'd have run you off like I did the reptile." He held his hand out. <She may look good, but if the skin is rough, there's nothing.> "Kaz, Kaz Corydon. Otherwise known as Sarrus the Dragon. So what drew you to this place?"
"Mind if I just call you Kaz?" she asked him. her eyes then scanned around all she could see outside of the pool area. "Well, I don't exactly have any family I can stay with. In fact my only family is my older sister but we aren't on the best terms." The boy nodded as he listened. "Besides, Mr. King seems to be interesting and I'd like to know more about him." She paused for a moment before continuing. "So what attracted you here?"

"Go right ahead..I don't mind one bit." He smiled at her. As she told him of her reason for being here, he felt sympathetic, and his face showed it. "I'm sorry to hear that. I'm currious why you don't have a family, except for your sister..and what's goin on between you two, but I don't quite feel it would be right to ask you to tell me."
When she asked about him, he had to pause and think, <Why DID I come here?...> "I'm not exactly sure why I came here, impulse perhaps. Or curriosity. I heard about him takin' in mutants, sort of, under the table. Question is, why." He cocked his head to the side before he spoke again, "My mother's gone, and my father is shut in his office all day. I was dissowned, and scrapped a living, for a while I had an appartment..but..." Chuckling, "That didn't last long, and I heard about this place. So I guess I'm here for a number of reasons." Shrugging, like it bother him at all.
She kind of felt sorry for Kaz. "Guess that pretty much puts us on our own then." she said smiling. "I've been getting along ok on my own for the most part. People have been pretty nice to me. Letting me stay in hotels and such." Although most of that was because I helped them make those desicions she thought to herself. "Let me go change real quick and we can continue our talk." Syn looked at kaz who nodded.
She went back into the girl's locker room and got cleaned up and put her clohtes back on. Then returning back to the pool side she found kaz still waiting. Again she watched his eyes look her up and down and again she smiled. "So, should we go see Mr. King or would you like to show me around a bit first?"

"Hmm...Buisness or pleasure, buisness or pleasure." He took this time to think and to watch her. "Is there anything that interests you? Hobbies? We could start there." He turned to face her as he walked backwards toward the door. "By the way Syn," He paused and gave her a sly smile, "Is that your real name? Or does it sort of reflect who you are?"
The last question Kaz posed to Syn made her laugh. "Sort of both. My Name is Aelly Ssyn, but I just prefer to be called Syn. Yes I'm a bad girl if that's what you're wondering." she couldn't help but keep smiling. "Hmmm...well, I like having fun. That's what interests me." Reaching up she ran her fingers through her hair to see how wet it was still and to shake it out a little. "What interests you Kaz?"

'Yes, I'm a bad girl, if that's what you're wondering.' He couldn't help but smile at that. <Oh, I can believe that.> He looked her up and down agian. <I'm sure you could be a VERY bad girl.>
'What interests you Kaz?' He couldn't help but take a deep breath as she ran her fingers through her hair. "Bad girls." Winking at her with a sly smile, "Especially bad girls with long hair." Turning around to walk forward, he looed over at her and couldn't hide his smile. "Other than that, gamblin, hustlin', going fast, clubin', games, workin' out." He took a breath, "Most things, Physical.' He kept his head straight ahead, but looked at her out of the corner of his eye.
