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.

Slade waited in the grounds for Luna to arrive, the last few conversations had been productive and interesting. Slade had held an inkling that Luna wasn't happy at the mansion and through a bit of poking and inquisition Luna had confirmed that instinctual assumption. He'd managed to pull some strings here and there and shortly she would arrive at her new home, her new school. Here she would be happy, here she would have friends, here she would learn how to truly unlock the potentials of her skills.
A smooth black 'company' car pulled up to mondragon labs, the appropriate security clearance already cleared so that Slade could get straight into introducing Luna to her new home. Slade smiled broadly and padded lazily over towards the car, the chauffeur had already begun removing Luna's luggage. Nodding towards the man, Slade indicated that he could take it from here. Opening the door slowly he peered in, his free hand indicating that Luna exit the vehicle. " Heya Luna, let me be the first to welcome you to your new home!" Slade grinned, he'd give her a grand tour, let her unpack and then Slate would probably want to check her out.

Luna was in awe as she gazed out of the dark fancy car's window on her way to the Mondragon Labs. She couldn't believe that Slade had done all of this for her! A part of her felt bad for leaving the Mansion, but she also felt her feelings came first. With that resolve, she waited until the car made it's final stop which was at Mondragon Labs. She stepped out as Slade opened the door grinning at her, welcoming her to her new home. "It's great to be her Sirius! Thankyou for everything!" Luna spoke happy as she exited the car and walked towards Slade, happy to be here with someone familiar. "Well... I'm ready for the tour!" She chirped smiling, though a little nervous. There was no turning back now however... so all she could do was smile and be happy.
Slade smiled and led Luna inside Mondragon, he wouldn't take her everywhere: for one he himself couldn't get everywhere, but also because she woudn't be needing to go certain places at her age. "Let's see, what do you wanna see first? we got canteen, vehicle bay where i work mostly, training rooms, urrr barracks and personal rooms... In consideration, this probably wasn't going to be so exciting for her... " Anyway, afterwards we'll do something you want to do. I'll also need to introduce you to Slate, he's the guy in charge so you can find out what he's got planned for your continued education."

Luna 'hmmed' a bit in thought her tip of her index finger on her chin in a thinking gesture. "So hard to choose..."'And not many choices either' She thought dryly. "well I guess we can start... where you work?" Luna asked getting out of her 'thinking pose' as she put her hands on her hips, a smile on her features. "I'd like to see what you do there, maybe I can learn something!" Luna said with a small humor filled laugh.
ooc - sorry for the absence, uni life has been real busy as of late.
ic - Slade shrugged happily as Luna asked about his work, probably best to keep under the guise of engineer for now, no need to tell the kid of his real employment details just yet. "Engineering it is, you wanna learn about vehicles and see the newest of the new then Mondragon Vehicle labs it is!" He directed her through the usual plain corridors and towards the Vehicle lab, he hoped that she had at least a small interest in vehicles. He'd be more than happy to teach her the trades and arts behind being a grease monkey like him. It would at least give him an excuse to spend time with Luna, which he wanted as she added a little bit of laughter into the usual boring monotonance that usually filled this part of his job. "You canmeet my team, well not so much a team rather a group of speccy technicians who I pay to do the stuff I find boring!" Slade grinned childishly down at Luna, "In fact you can meet the guy who that game we picked was for, I have to say he was impressed with, uh, 'my' knowledge of the current popular games." As he ushered her through the door he quickly wondered what vehicle she'd have most fun sitting in... Either way the tour could only get more interesting from here.

(Sorry I've been gone so long, I've been busy -sorta kinda-)
Luna blinked as she was ushered into the room. She couldn't wait to meet the guy they went through all that trouble to get a game for! That and she wanted to see how things worked around her and to get to know Sirius a bit more! Walking into the room she looked around obviously surprised of what was in there. "Cool! So many cars!" She said with excitement. "This reminds me of 'Pimp my Ride!'" She said with a laugh.
ooc - heya, sorry for my absence. i know its got in the way of your rp'ing and I apologise. RL is really taking a toll at the moment and I'm struggling to get online atm.
ic - Slade smiled as Luna compared this library of technology to pimp my ride, he knew better than anyone that even most governments would kill for the technology Slade had to play with every day. He eyed Rufus doggedly rationalising over some equations and yelled over the noise of the working vehicle bay, "Yo Rufus, here's the lady that helped me get that game for you!" Rufus paused long enough to give a hearted thumbs up to Luna before diving back into whateverproblem he was solving.
"That's quite a good response from Rufus, I don't employ him for his personality if you get me." Slade grinned as he turned back to Luna. " Now, unless you want to see more of the vehicles we should be moving on our tour a little, would you like to grab a bite to eat on the way to the training rooms or just head straight there?" As much as Slade wanted to spend more time showing Luna all the cool new gadgets he'd had shipped in, he doubted she'd find them as fascinating as he did... so it would be on with the tour...

[OOC-I understand, life is WAY more important then online things ^^; Take your time and get through what's important for you~ I can wait I have other rps to keep be preoccupied ^^; Good Luck in RL and college and such! =D -wishes she went to college too-]
IC-
Luna blinked at Rufus's simple 'thankyou' or 'hello' or whatever his thumbs up meant at that moment. Giving a small wave to the distracted man Luna looked at Slade whilst he explained why he hired the man in the first place. Which had The little girl wondering exactly what they did here... Deciding to ask the head honcho when she got to meet him or her, Luna gave a half shrug at Slade's question.
"Whatever work's metal man-" She paused and made a gesture as though reigning in a bad stomach and thought as she stuck out her tongue and pressed her hands on her stomach as though she would blanch at any moment. "As long as it's not hot chocolate...." She shuddered at her memory of the 'dangerous' beverage and noted to herself not to touch chocolate for about a year... But being a kid who loved sweets- a "year" would probably only last a week in her timeframe...
Standing straight again she looked at the giant of a mutant as though questioning their motives here. "You guys have a training ground?" she echoed from her verbally from her thought pattern. She thought whatever they had here wasn't as advanced as the X-men's 'Danger Room'.. The X-men- the Mansion... Luna felt regret in leaving them but it soon passed as she looked around then at Slade. "Um.. sure- let's go..." However her voice didn't sound so enthusiastic.
Slade chuckled as he led her out of the vehicle bay and back into the maze of tunnels that constituted most of Mondragon, while he was sure Luna would have no idea where the hell she was Slade had learnt, slowly, how to make his way around the labyrinth. "We'll head straight to the training rooms I think, time is not on our side today kid and Slate likes punctuality when possible." Slade considered his boss for a moment, the man was definitely less of a tyrant than mr Antonescu but Slade had no doubt that he had some hidden ace card if he had usurped the absent mr Antonescu's indomitable rule. "That's your new... uh... boss? Do kids have bosses... ah heck either way he's the guy in charge around here. "
Slade pondered the usual questions that filled his head about the day to day business, after the training room he'd probably better get Luna down to Slate's office. He thought that they would have more time but he forgot he was walking at Luna's pace and not his, a fault on his part as he understandably held a much longer stride and pace being 6'8". As they reached the long corridor marked with numerically dated doors clashing down its length Slade paused outside the first training room. "We have training rooms for most situations, some of the stuff you won't be doing until your older but I believe Slate has been initialising some schedules for you... You wanna look inside?"

[I'm rping in a separate thread with Slate and Luna to get recruited. But we can still continue this for the tour of the Mondragon labs ^^]
The Teddy Bear Mistress nodded as she was lead to the training rooms. It looked kinda bland compared to the X-men's Danger room, but Luna was smart enough not to judge by appearances alone, besides it was just the door... She couldn't help but laugh at that thought, "Yeah kids have bosses- it's called Teachers, parents, and in-Laws!" She said with a laugh as she basically summed up that kids are bossed around by anything bigger and or stroner or higher up in society then them. Basically every adult. "Joking aside though, let's gfo see! I wanna see what I'm up against Come on Tin-man!" She urged trying to push him to open the door with little to no success. Well she had the drive that's for sure. "Ha,ha... You weigh a ton!" She commented dryly as she stepped back and waited for him to open the door.
