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.

Sam picked up the form and smiled at her, “Looks like your all set, let me be the first to welcome you to the Mansion. Now let’s go get you a room set up.” Sam motioned for Luna to follow him as he walked towards the rooms, “hope you don’t mind a room to your self.”

Luna smiled lightly as she followed Sam after his motion to follow. Picking up her suitcase, she trudged it along with her even though it wasn't very heavy. She still had been carrying it around all this time- that was a little taxing on her. Maybe she could become stronger here?
She was good at sports, what made anything different? She decided to ask- "Um, Sam? Whats so special about this place anyway? Like... does it have a training room or something?" Luna questioned curious of what he would say, as she followed the ice teen through the halls. She paused for a moment, "And yeah, I'm fine by myself!" She answered Sam's previous question.

"Um, Sam? Whats so special about this place anyway? Like... does it have a training room or something?"
Approaching the vacant room that would now be Luna’s Sam looked to her and said, “This place is where mutants come to learn how to control their abilities, or if they just need somewhere to live.” He looked to her and said, “There are some mutants that don’t know how to control their abilities like I can and they end up hurting innocent people.” he then smiled and crouched down to her level again, “why do you want to know bout the training center?”

Luna looked at the ground, as Sam went eye level to her. A sad expression on her face. Images of what happened that day when she indirectly caused the death of her brother- Owen. She almost had the urge to cry again, however held it back as she explained though hesitant. "I-I- Well my powers ended up taking away someone dear to me... my older brother Owen- it was an accident- but now I can't even say I'm sorry!"
She cried as she started to cry a little, tears leaking from her eyes, as all the emotions she held back for a half a year came to the surface... "I don't deserve any kindness but-" She paused wiping away her tears as she looked at Sam fiercely. "I want to learn how to better my powers! So no one will end up dead like my brother!" She spoke firmly as she looked Sam straight into his eyes.

I-I- Well my powers ended up taking away someone dear to me... my older brother Owen- it was an accident- but now I can't even say I'm sorry!"
Sam put a hand on Luna’s shoulder trying like her trying to resist tearing up. He himself never met his family but it was sad regardless seeing a girl so young be responsible for taking a life. When Sam was her age he himself had to kill and from what he could remember there wasn’t one instance when he didn’t shed tears for a stranger so he could only imagine what it was like to kill someone close to you. "I don't deserve any kindness but-" "I want to learn how to better my powers! So no one will end up dead like my brother!"
Sam met her gaze still trying to fight back the tears and this time only letting one escape from his eyes. “You're a tough kid, I remember I took a life when I was around your age, nothing easy about that.” He then stood up and wiped the single tear away with a thumb, “you really want to get stronger? I’ll talk to Neena or Tricity see if we can’t get you stronger. It’s gonna be tough but I think you can handle it.” He patted her shoulder lightly as he gave her a reassuring smile, “You need anything else don’t hesitate to ask okay?”

Luna wiped her eyes one last time as her mind came to register her thoughts and Sam's words causing her to be quite shocked! 'He.. took a life? How is he still sane?' She questioned as though no one should still be good or sane after taking more then one life... "I'm not that tough- I am a girl after all." She joked lightly with a small playful smile as she picked up her suitcase once more.
"Plus you're a guy! Guy's don't cry!- It's not manly!" She spoke with a childish tone as she winked at Sam playfully. Her spirits lifted she was back to her old self again! "I think I'll like it here, if I find more people like you Sam!" She said as she gave him a tomboyish smile. "Neena or Tricity huh? Are they the founders of this school?" Questioned Luna as she blinked owlishly, looking at Sam as he had the answers.
Luna smiled, "And don't worry Ice dude- I'll call on you if I fall and hurt my knee!" She said with a good natured laugh at her little joke. Maybe she could like it here? Maybe Luna could get over her sad little bit of her past and move on? That's what her parents would want... what Owen would want! 'Yeah.. In his memory- You watching Owen? I'm going to be strong!' She mentally spoke to the heavens with a new resolve.

Sam let out a small laugh as he towered over her, “Or it could be I am so mainly I can get away with crying.” He flashed a wink and then walked her into her room, “I am probably the meanest one here,” he laughed as he lied a little, “Neena and Tricity are the names to remember her, Neena runs the danger room and is the second in command, while Tricity is the head mistress here, so if I find out your going to see her that means your were goofing off in class or beating the boys up, so I better no find out that happened, got it?” Sam smiled as he patted her on the head and walked to the door.
"And don't worry Ice dude- I'll call on you if I fall and hurt my knee!"
As Sam walked out of her room with the her form in hand he waved to her while not facing her, “I’ll be sure to coming running, Bye Luna.” And with that Sam was heading to Tricity’s office to drop of the new resident form.
