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.

Opening the door.. The large Red 7'5 Draconic being excited the White Honda Civic, being careful not to hit his head on the edge again. Wearing his trench coat over most of himself made most of his features more obscure, the same with the brim of the black leather cowboy hat that he was wearing, this casted a shadow from the lights over his face for the most part. Looking up at the guards, his Draconic muzzle came into view.. Red scales easily visible with the light reflecting off of his Amber eyes, almost causing them to glow.. keeping his hands out of his pockets, being this may be taken as an act of aggression, though his clawed hands may not be that much of a comfort either.

Ayesac nodded.. "yea.. easier to get out, then in.. " he chuckled a little - this made him a little less mean looking.... "I would prefer not to cause a scene either.. I came in a peaceful nature, and will continue to be in the same nature until something changes this.." slowly following Shrapnel through where ever he is going.. "Lead the way my friend.."

Ayesac shrugged also, sitting down across from Shrapnel.. "this is a pretty nice place.. " he looked around... the guards seemed to not be very happy about his presents, they seemed to be slightly spooked by him.. This wasn't odd for him, in fact this was rather normal.. but the fact he had the wrist cuff around his wrist may have made them feel a little more comfortable.. "What am I getting myself into.."

Ayesac slowly nodded.. he didn't smell anything like the stalkers when he got into the car.. sitting there, he was paying attention to what was around him, "I'm glad to be out of there, It was starting to get rather bad.. I just want to hurry up, and help get them out, it is necessary. For humanity, they are not being humane to us.. It is unjust, and rather meaningless to hold innocent like they do.."
Leaning back "If you come with me further, I would feel more at ease, for You have proven yourself to be an ally, and a friend for showing me this place, and delivering me here.. "

Stands up, "I'm going to talk to them, and maybe they'll send out something to drink so that our wait will seem less long.. " making his way to the secretary.. he maintained a relaxed tone "Excuse me.. May I ask you for a Soda.. or something to eat? I haven't had much good stuff to eat in a quite a long time... " his stomach growled.. "I will be sitting over there" he pointed by Shrapnel..

Slowly made his way back to Shrapnel.. "hopefully they'll give us some refreshments to help our wait seem like it is less.." leaning back in the chair.. he payed attention to all his senses, buzzing of the lights.. the smell of the cleaning products.. sound of others breathing around him.. walking around the halls in the area.."hmm.. they do seem busy."

Slowly nodded.. "There we go.. at least now we'll have some food, it always seems help the sense of time to quicken." Ayesac was looking up, and all around the room paying attention to all the noises.. "Man.. really.. But I bet they are busy for a reason.. I think they may be confused about.. your friend here."

Put his feet up on the coffee table also, almost at the same time that Shrapnel did.. he thought for a few minutes before answering..
"To be honest, I don't know where I was born - but I do know that I was in a really bad place for a long time before escaping those labs, which were in the North Peninsula of Michigan.. Escaping from a Transport Truck, somehow the Truck was tipped over.. I was unchained, and well, I wasn't going to ask questions.."

Smirked.. "Where there is power, there is Corruption.. best way to fix this, is to diversify the power.. This is where we are going wrong at the moment, We, as mutants, are not represented correctly in this country, therefor the government is flawed at the current moment." folding his arms his eyes staying on Shrapnel now.. "I never been to Thailand, heard of it, but thats a long flight, and my wings can only go so far before I get tired.."

"Ah.. Burgers.. not bad, Give a Dragon meat, you are a wise man" he moved his feet.. "I would show you them if you'd like.. And I can fly at a descent rate of speed, and I can hover quite well. I can keep going for a long time - but I do get hungry from time to time" he grabbed one of the burgers, he took a bite... Sharp Draconic teeth.. yea if there was a Knight in Shining armor, or a Damsel in distress - he could easily be mistaken for a fairytale character, or if he was back in those ages, he maybe more suited swinging an axe into the heads of his enemies.. Though, for those whom knew him, he was gentle, and kind individual.. "I thought about going to Thailand, to the Phang Nga province , I heard they had a place called Dragon Cave, or something.. Wonder what their reaction would be to me.."

Calley
Calley was, quite naturally, doing something of little value but high entertainment value. In this case: he was walking around the Labs. As he came around a corner, he bumped into a scientist going the other way. The scientist gave a start and hurried on. Calley smugly fanned his whiskers, and kept going. The guards looked at him casually, then ignored him--until he tried stalking one. Then they seemed less amused. In fact, he was pretty sure that was a tazer. Calley prudently slunk into a different area of the Labs. To be specific: he slunk into the reception area.
The reason walking around was a source of amusement? He was in tiger form, of course. Calley made a very big tiger. And right now, his very big tiger nose lead his very big tiger eyes towards three scents--two quite new, and one quite familiar. There was a big red man, but it wasn't Abyss, and it was scaly. Interesting. And there was another guy, who pretty much didn't look like anything but that didn't count for much in the mutant world. More importantly: there was food. Calley silently padded across the waiting area, and sat his rump down in front of the two men. He then proceeded to look at them with kitty eyes. Amazingly large, sweet kitty eyes, that may or may not have been aimed at their delicious delicious burgers.
He tossed in a low "Murr?", just for good measure.
Ayesac looked at the tiger... "Hey.. come on over here.. " speaking toward the tiger, he stood up, taking one of the full burgers into hand claws hand.. he went down to one knee, "He seems hungry, he put the burger down in front of him.. before moving back to sit in his chair again.. "I like animals, really, I don't mind them being around, do you?" a gaint bangle tiger, not really something he feared, Ayesac didn't fear that many things, and this did not have any cause for alarm because it has not taken any hostile stance, or any hostile action toward him, or Shrapnel.. "I like cats... "
Calley caught that first tossed half with a quick flash of his teeth. Score. Its life expectancy after that wasn't so long.
> "Miss, there seems to be a tiger in your lobby, might you know where he belongs?"
The oversized orange and white tiger chuckled; it sounded like a gurgling purr. Bonus points to the Asian man with the sense of humor. The receptionist, predictably, gave him one glance and then ignored him. The tiger wasn't a boy with a plastic dart gun this time; that's really all she needed to know. She went back to keying something into the computer in front of her, all nine of her remaining fingers moving in smooth unison. Her one missing pinkie finger, quite recently gone on vacation to a scenic dumpster without her, marked her as someone who probably didn't care for the words 'Kaz' and 'in charge' to be spoken at the same time.
> "Hey... come on over here..."
His large head swung towards the red guy who wasn't Abyss, rounded ears swiveling to stand up and face front. He had blue eyes in this form--baby blue eyes to be specific; his own eye color. Since he was using tiger shifting as his cover story, it didn't make much sense to suddenly change his tiger eyes to a more traditional shade when people already knew him as-is. Not these two, though. Heh. The red guy was bending down on one knee, and offering him much burgerage with a scaley, clawed hand. With a benevolent lowering of his head, the tiger accepted said offering. Two chomps later, he was rising up a paw to delicately groom a fleck of bun off of his whiskers.
And now: closer inspection time.
> "I like animals, really, I don't mind them being around, do you? ...I like cats... "
It was an invitation, really. The tiger stood, and padded the few small steps over to the red one. He sat again, directly in front of the guy. In fact, one of his paws was on the guy's right foot. His nose lifted up and whuffed and whoofed. Scent: acquired. Definitely no one he'd ever smelled before. He turned his head towards the other guy, and snuffed and huffed. Also not someone he knew. Newcomers to the Labs, the both of 'em. His head turned back towards the red man. He had a distinct liking for red mutants. Especially large, distinctly non-normal-human-stock red mutants. This one looked like a dragon instead of the Hulk, and there didn't seem to be multiples of him, but Calley was a benevolent sort: he wouldn't hold it against him.
He stretched out his neck, and dropped his head into the guy's lap. His ears flicked enticingly. The man liked cats; he'd said so himself. Somehow, Calley figured he'd know what to do with a demanding kitty in his lap.
Reached out, carefully scritching between the tiger's ears, being careful not to hurt this creature, his his claws. "Seems I've made another friend." slowly used his fingers, as he spoke.."..the second largest and the most common tiger subspecies... I have high respect for their adaptability to live in a variety of different habitats.." this one seemed to be well behaved, placing it's head in his lap.. most people this may frighten, but Ayesac maintained his composure without any troubles, he was paying attention to the Tiger's Heart Rate.. as his eyes were going between the two. "I'm Ayesac, who are you bud? the red dude catch your attention huh?"
> " I however " funny, I just waited how long for this burger and I toss half over to him with out pause, If a dog came in and did that I would have rolled up a newspaper. You however are very forward laying your head in a mans lap you hardly even know. Shame."
In summary: all your burgers are belong to tigger. And your little laps, too. Heh. Calley flicked an amused ear towards the man's amusing tone, and very amusing words. Meanwhile, he struck up a purr that could be heard four hallways over and behind closed doors: the dragon man was scritching behind his ears. Scritching with an artistically delicate touch.
>."..the second largest and the most common tiger subspecies... I have high respect for their adaptability to live in a variety of different habitats.."
Like New York City. Heh.
> "I'm Ayesac, who are you bud? the red dude catch your attention huh?"
Calley tilted his head up towards the dragon's face, considering. Frankly, it wasn't like a tiger wandering freely around Mondragon Labs didn't have an obvious explanation, and all good things must come to an end... People never liked him as much when they knew for a fact he was a mutant.
His purr shut off abruptly as he switched out vocal chords. "Calley," he answered in his human voice. "Thanks for the burgers. The cooks kinda ignore me when I walk in like this--they put up a 'not bipedal, no service' sign just because of me, I think. Where'd you two come from? What's it like out there? Has the crack down gotten worse? Are there still a lot of mutants hiding? Are you going to come live here?" He lifted up his large paws and crossed them one over the other in the guy's lap, putting his head on top as he waited on answers. Big red laps were comfortable. He intended to exploit that fact until he got kicked off.
