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 walked down the hallway to Luna’s bedroom, it had been a while since he told her he would take her to the Danger Room but Sam always kept his promises. Sam looked through the windows as he saw nothing but rain, “Another day great for the Danger Room,” smiled Sam as he slowed his pace as he came upon Luna’s bedroom door.
Sam was in his basketball shorts and tight black t-shirt as he knocked on Luna’s door, “Luna, you up? How about we go practice that power of yours?” asked Sam as he to sounded a little excited to get her powers worked on, ‘it’s to dangerous an ability to not practice with it.’ Thought Sam as he waited for the door to open so he could see his green haired little friend. As he stood there for a second he thought, ‘maybe seven in the morning is to early for her’.

Luna stifled a yawn as she walked towards the door, her outfit was a simple green t-shirt and a pair of gray sweat pants. Her normal sneakers were on now too. Really Luna wasn't all for dressing nicely unless needed to. Luna woke up an half an hour ago due to a bad dream, the same thing she always dreamed about on days like these.... Her brother's death. Sighing she opened the door looking up to see Sam. Her eyes widened as she blushed a bit, before frowning. "What's up?" Listening -“Luna, you up? How about we go practice that power of yours?”. She blinked as a smile showed on her face, eyes lit up with excitement. "Sure! I was wondering when you would ask me that!" She spoke chipper as her tiredness left her completely. "Ready when you are Sam! Lead the way Ice dude!" She spoke energetically as she waited for his response.

"Sure! I was wondering when you would ask me that!"
Sam let out one of his loud laughs as he said, “Well I have been pretty busy but I did tell you I would so here I am!” The gloomy girl he met on the first day felt significantly cheerier which in turn made him smile. The look on her face reminded him of the saying, ‘You look like a kid on Christmas,’ but of course seeing how Sam never had a Christmas he wouldn’t know what kind of face would match that but hers would have been the best on he has seen so far.
"Ready when you are Sam! Lead the way Ice dude!"
Sam walked down the hall leading to the Danger Room as he smiled, “Ice Guy??” asked Sam curiously, it was the first time he heard that nickname. “Follow me,” said Sam as he walked off in the direction of the Danger Room. Trying to make some small talk on the walk Sam asked, “So did you start taking you classes yet? How are they going?”

Luna walked with Sam as she smiled a bit. Listening to him talk was better then talking herself. She smiled- It's Ice Dude!" She spoke with a snicker as she then almost froze at the word 'classes'. Luna looked at the ground as she held back her embarrassment the best she could. "Um... Classes? Well you see... I didn't know there were classes...." She answered truthfully with a small surprised glance at Sam, before looking back at the floor ahead of her. "Well... I'll start taking them! If I have to..." She mumbled the last part in exasperation.

“Um... Classes? Well you see... I didn't know there were classes...." "Well... I'll start taking them! If I have to..."
Sam looked to her for a second and smiled, “Well we can’t have that can we? Young Lady like your self needs to be in school, that’s where you meet all the cool kids, well not as cool as me cause I am to cool for school!” and in fact he was to cool for school, well at least for public and private, he did have the basic education level down and once or twice he was given an ‘stalk and grab’ mission on a few high school kids.
He smiled in her direction and said, “Well we can sort that out later no need to be thinking about school on a Saturday right?” Sam continued walking as the headed down a flight of stairs and rounded a corner, “What about friends you make a few so far?” asked Sam curiously.

Luna smirked then laughed at what Sam said. "Yeah.. really you are!" She joked at him being 'too cool for school'. Following the ice user down the flight of steps and around the corner she spoke up. "Yeah.. It's Saturday might as well enjoy it..." Her cheer left her a little as Luna tried to cover it up with a little laugh even if it sounded hallow... The green haired girl frowned at the mention of "friends". "None.. really, I haven't made time to make friends..." She spoke dejectedly as she looked at Sam sadly. " I don't need any anyways!" She spoke with a fake huff of anger as she pouted looking at the nearby wall to her left.

Sam noticed her happy personality left when he mentioned the word friends…’bad idea’ thought Sam as he tried to lighten the situation a little, “Your telling me, you don’t have any friends? That’s hard to believe some one as cool as you?” Sam smiled as he tried to sound sincere with his comments, “Everybody needs a friend, don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have any…” he pretended to look sad and then smiled as he gave a look on his face like he just came up with an idea, “If you want I could be your friend.”
Sam continued to walk with Luna as they entered an automatic door that lead to the Danger Room. After the doors closed behind them Sam continued to lead Luna to the center of the room as he took in a whiff of the air and then did a little twirl with his arms up, “This big room is the Danger Room.” He smiled to her and asked, “So, whatcah think?”

Luna frowned in sadness for a little bit, however perked up when seeing the older male mutant's optimism. Smiling a bit herself she nodded- "Yeah.. I would like that Sam! You can be my first friend in a while..." She muttered a little to herself. I just I don't lose you as a friend as I did others..." She whispered to herself heart saddened. Following Cold Steel once more she looked as they were in the center of a large room. Luna's eyes widened in surprise and awe as she basically gawked at the Danger Room. "Whoa! This is the Danger Room?!" Luna asked in slight shock/ "So how does it work?" She questioned her attention on Sam now as her mind was racing a mile a second in excitement.

"Whoa! This is the Danger Room?!" Luna asked in slight shock/ "So how does it work?"
Sam smiled after seeing her reaction, “Okay, ready?” Sam looked up to the main console and yelled, “Computer, stationary target practice,” as he finished this almost instantly tiny little red dots appeared throughout the danger room. Sam smiled and said, “The Danger Room is pretty much voice activated but the catch is if your under a certain age you can’t use it. Meaning I don’t want you sneaking in here unless your with one of the older kids got it?” he had a feeling the thought was already crossing her mind that once she figured how to get in here and use it she would try all on her own which could be extremely dangerous.
Sam nodded as he held his hand to a target as a ice knife pierced right through the target. “Now Luna, you can make all the teddy bears you want but after a bit I think we should work on your overall control and on targets that aren’t okay to hit.” He smiled and stepped away from her to se what she could do.

'Darn!' She thought as Sam had figured her out so quickly... "Okay, I won't try anything unless with someone who knows what their doing..." She spoke truthfully as she didn't know exactly what this room could do... And she didn't want to experiment and lose her brain cells or something. Watching as Sam called for the targets and then threw a ice knife through it. She gapped, before regaining her composure as it was her turn now. Steadying herself she tried thinking calmly however the over all fear of harming someone made her throat tightened in fear as well as her heartbeat increase.
Luna absently clutched her fabric in her jeans' the piece of clothes of her dead brother- some may think it was sick, but it was all the twelve year old had of Owen, and she wasn't about to let go of him... not now. "I-I don't know if I can- do this..." She admitted to herself as she the clutched the fabric, and took a piece of it forming a teddy bear. Luna steeled herself.
"But- I got-no, I WANT to try!" With that said she threw the formed stuffed toy at the target as it exploded on contact turning the said target into a splintering charred mess. Luna turned meekly towards Sam, "So.. was that- good?" She questioned nervous as it was the first time she used her abilities fully.

"But- I got-no, I WANT to try!"
Sam could see the hesitation as she created the bear, she was having seconds thoughts about using her powers, as well she should h did kill her brother with them. But if she ever wanted to try and be normal and have friends mutant or non she needed to learn how to control her powers perfectly. Sam knew full well that taking a life was something difficult to get over especially for a kid but unlike her he was placed into a life or death scenario and well, Sam was a survivor. Unlike the way Sam was taught he was going to try something else something that he thought would be better than the way he was taught.
"So.. was that- good?"
Sam walked over to Luna and patted her on the back, “That was excellent, you did really well.” He stood up and pointed to the scorch marks at the target, “Now let’s see how small of an explosion you make, remember now that you get the target down I want to see if you have control of the explosions, any monster can blow things up, it’s the control that makes us different from the others.” Sam backed up away from Luna to see what she could do.

The green haired mutant nodded at Sam's words, as she tried her best to form a simple teddy bear. However her mind kept on thinking bigger explosion, making it harder for her to concentrate. "Small explosion... small explosion..." She muttered to herself as she finally formed a small teddy bear- however this one felt less dangerous then most to Luna. So with a mental shrug she threw the bear and it hit the new target exploding. However this explosion was only a quarter of what her usual one were, meaning the bomb only took out a small chunk of wooden target. Luna's eyes widened as she smiled wide, turning towards Sam on the spot she nearly jumped for joy. "I-I did it! Did you see that?!"

Wandering down the halls of the Mansion.. The Red Draconic being, dressed in a paper hospital gown was slightly open in the back, though he had his hand behind him, trying to keep it shut - but his tail would not be denied an appearance - swishing from side to side as he walked. He was looking for someone to talk to, to retrieve his clothing, even though they were pretty ripped up from the fall he experienced a few nights before onto the fountain.. anything would be better then this flimsy paper gown.. Hearing voices he followed down the hall, not really familiar voices, but voices of those he assumed to be residents - so it would be logical to assume they would know were some auxiliary clothing would be for him to wear... he glanced into a display case he passed.. .oO(Yellow Spandex? must be Hornet's Costume.. He ain't like Butterfly, but he sting like a bee - Pix would be amused)Oo. amused a little, he gave a chuckle.
Continuing on his way towards the voices, he happens upon a door that had the words 'Warning: Danger Room' on the front.. .oO(Must be a boiler room or something)Oo. Standing infront of the Danger Room door - a Hydrollic hiss opened the door wide, showing him the contents within.. "huh?" slowly taking a few steps into the Chamber, draconic eyes scanning the area, one arm still behind his back.. the other holding the helm down.. eyes went wide, looking at the two.. the guy he wouldn't have a problem with the lil girl, he found his current.. dress.. rather inappropriate. ".. Why do doctors always put you in these gowns.." he groans.

"I-I did it! Did you see that?!"
Sam laughed and smiled at her excitement, “Yeah that was good it was really good Luna!” Sam patted her on the back as another target formed, this time it was smaller than before a lot smaller and farther than the last one, “Now,” said Sam still smiling, “Now lets see if you can throw it farther and make the explosion even smaller… try and see if you can just scorch the target instead of completely destroying it.”
Sam’s eyes trailed over to the door as a rather large and red looking fellow entered the Danger Room in a hospital gown ‘must have gotten lost’ thought Sam as he waved to the fellow. “You lost big guy?” Sam called out to the Red giant.

Luna nodded though had doubts that she could actually scorch the target without blowing it up. Taking a piece of fabric one of her last pieces to be exact, Luna formed another teddy bear- this one was a pure white teddy bear with black beady eyes and a frown. Shocked at the appearance of her doll, as most of them were brown- she shrugged as she threw it at the target. The results were big! The explosion was small but seemed to be concentrated causing more of a blast then normal, plus more damage as shrapnel of wood flew through the air. Luna looked dumbfounded before sighing. "I.... guess I fail that... my powers are only destructive..." The green haired girl sulked, then she caught the sight of another person- er- dragon? "Um who are you sir?" She asked the draconian being.
