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 was about to answer Nicki when she raised her drink to her mouth and was chuckling, instead of answering her, "Don't choke now." Waiting a few moments before saying anything, "No, not normally. But I also don't want to cause conflict here." He put emphisis on 'here'. "Since it was my fault and I had some change, I'd do what I could." Leaning back against the bar counter he took a sip of his drink. Looking down at the girls, it was the first time he noticed that they looked a bit young. Not wanting to spoil the mood, he decided not to say anything about it. "So why did you come here, when I saw you over there," motioning with his free hand, "It seemed like you felt out of place."

Nicki leaned against the bar, getting a little more comfortable as she looked over to Kaz, subtly looking him over. He was definitely older than she was. And he was definitely a cutie.
"I'm just a bit of a wallflower, no biggie" Nicki shrugged, noticing she was still playing with her ear and making the effort to pull the digits away from the lobe. Chewing on her lower lip slightly, she tried to think of something interesting to say that wouldn't make her sound like a kid or an idiot. "Not that you would know anything about being shy now would you?"

OOC: Forgot to mention earlier, this is the outfit Kaz is wearing, but not the same hairstyle, seeing as he doesn't have THAT much hair. It's also a better view of how he looks under his clothes. (Click the pickture for full view.)
IC:He was soaking up the atmosphere of the club around him. The beat compelled him to move to the floor, but he was enjoying talking with the two ladies. As soon as the words started forth from her mouth, he knew he was in trouble. The trap. Nearly choaking on his drink he looked her in the eyes, slightly surprised and put his drink down. Sighing as he turned his head away, he ran his hand slowly through his hair from front to back. Hair flopped forward as it was released by his hand, he looked up to the ceiling and smirked. "There is no good way for me to answer that. Either I tell the truth and risk making you feel bad about yourself, or I lie to make you feel better, which you'd see through right away, and again risk making you feel bad." Grabing his drink he took a large swig, "You women, ask questions that no matter how we guys answer, its never the right one." Dissapearing from where he was and reapearing on the other side of her, his face close to hers, whispering, "Especially when you know the answer already." The drink in his hand moved not a bit from his sudden movement.
Raptor watched this and smirked "Listen to me Kaz we have met before I know you are lying," he spoke elegantly his accent was Russian strange as he was from America he shrugged it off "Remember Syn haven't seen her in a very long time," his voice grew subtle "Kaz," he offered his hand "Buddies now," he said smiling his memory had finally returned up to just before his kidnapping he remembered the order he blinked a few times and shook his head "Wow I remember everything,"

Nicki swallowed particularly hard. She didn't usually get herself in these kinds of situations. Licking her lips again, she started.
"I uh...really didn't mean anything by..." she didn't finish, a shiver running up her spine as he whispered to her. Nicki's eyes moved to Nika, slightly embrassed that someone she was going to be knowing for a long time was seeing here in what could be condsidered a compromising position but that wasn't really on her mind at the moment to be truthful.
"I-I know you're not shy. I didn't mean anything by it. Promise" Nicki managed to get the words out, cursing herself slightly. She was sure she sounded like a total spazz.
Nika stayed quiet for a bit as she listened to Kaz talk with Nicki. Kaz was definately sure of himself and Nicki...well, she seemed rather shy. Kind of reminded Nika of herself in most normal meetings. Although, she had been working hard to get past being shy and trying to be more open to people she met. One was forsure though. Kaz was fast and Nika wasn't quite sure how he was doing it. Oh well, this is a place to relax and have fun not analyze other mutant's abilities. She sipped her drink and giggled softly as the last few comments between Kaz and Nicki.

In his mind he was clamping a hand over his mouth, stopping himself from laughing out loud. A long quiet, "Shhhhhhhhhhh." came from Kaz as Nicki spoke. Giving her a smile, he seemed to float backwards a few feet, of corse he wasn't floating, but his footsteps were just that liquid. "Chill Nicki." Sticking his tongue out at her a bit with a wink. "Why are you so nervous? Is it because you're new here? Or," Moving behind Nika, his hands floated above her shoulders as he made sure he didn't touch her, "Is it because Nika's here?" Spinning slowly, but with a grace few possess, putting his hands on a railing, he leaned back slightly. He was slightly stretched out, muscles stretching against the fabric of his shirt, the muscles in his arms were tensed as he held himself up, "Or is it because you can't keep your eyes off?"
Waiting a few moments before he moved forward a bit, "Well, common, this is a club, let's DANCE!" He spoke to both Nika and Nicki with that last comment. Kicking off the floor, he did a flip mid air, landing at the edge of the dancefloor. It was obvious his body was itching to move. As soon as he landed you could see that with every beat of the music his body pulsed with energy.

Iara was nursing her drink and refusing dance proposals until she saw some guy with silver hair do one heck of a flip to the edge of the dance floor. She smirked and took the next hand offered.
As she made her way to the dance floor the music seemed to fill her and her body swayed near perfectly with the exotic pumped beat. Her powers made her dancing a bit of an attraction as she closed her eyes and felt nothing but the desire to move.
Nika watched Kaz flip to the dance floor then turned to Nicki. "What was all that supposed to mean? Do you think he's just crazy?" She shook her head in disbelief and finished her drink. AS she set her empty glass on the bar top she saw the dark haired girl who was next to her get out on the dance floor after multiple rejections to guys. Maybe she just didn't like the songs that were playing before now. "So are you gonna come out and dance too Nicki?" Nika stepped away from the bar and started moving to the music a little bit. Her tail swaying the the rhythym.

At this point in the conversation, Nicki was roughly the color of a strawberry. Yes, she was nervous. Yes, she was new. Yes, she had never been here before. Yes, she was checking out Kaz. And she was totally mortified.
That being said, she hit herself of the forehead with her hand when she was fairly sure no one was watching and made her way to the dance floor, following Nika's example as she started to move a little, loosening up.
Smiling as Nicki motioned to go to the dance floor Nika turned around and headed in that direction. Now moving a little more with the music. Allowing her arms to swing out a little more and swinging her hips more as well. The beat of the music was very lively and it just seemed to make you want to move even if you were standing still. "See this is more fun isn't it Nicki?"

Iara really began to feel the beat working through her veins as if it were her own blood. Despite his best effort, her partner just couldn't keep up so she left him. Her body snaked its way toward the center of the dance floor.
Nika looked around at the other people dancing and smiled. Most of them we movin' and groovin' to the music. One girl was doing really well. Her partner even left her because she moved so well. Her body had a certain fluidity to it that intrigued Nika. So, she danced her way over by the other girl pulling Nicki along with her. "Hey you dance great. What's your name? I'm Nika and this it Nicki."
Nika smiled back. This girl seemed to be ok. "Thanks for the compliment. I gotta tail that matches." Just as she said that she did a spin while still dancing to show Iara her wonderful tail. Finishing her spin facing back to Iara and Nicki she giggled. "This place is great. I think I'll come here alot."
