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.

When Leon had been told about the Mansion he didn't believe it was as big as they said, but looking at it now he has been made into a believer. As they stood at the foot of the gates he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous, this would be the moment that made or broke the day. He would finally be able to know if his parents actually cared to ring ahead and make sure he would be fine.
But before all of that he had to press the nice little buzzer. As he pressed the buzzer he looked into what he could only assume was the camera, after all what buzzer would be complete without a way to look at the person who has buzzed you, "Um, hi. Yeah not really sure how this all works but we are here for a room? there's another guy here as well, and he's also here for a room." He said putting on his best professional voice and face. One of the pro's of going to a high class school like Eton was the fact that you had to have a good professional face, but under the circumstances of the day he wasn't sure if he looked professional or a nervous wreck.
Well that went well...I think. He thought as he looked plainly ahead, he hated this time in any situation. The awkward silence that came after any form of offer, or question. As he stood waiting he started to look around just to check that no-one was coming up behind them, and to check that James and Serena had not walked off leaving him to deal with this alone. Not that he would mind doing the whole meet and greet alone, He was like that he loved having freedom and independence, which was one of the reasons that he went to boarding school.
This was different though, there was no independence in this situation, there was just the fact that he had to stand here, waiting for someone to greet him and James into there new home. So there he was waiting for a reply from the buzzer.

Leon was still angry, but decided to drop the matter. She was right about one thing though he did need friends if he was to live at the mansion, preferably friends who weren't going to get on his nerves but these two seemed OK. As he looked up at the mansion in the distance he had conflicting emotions brought up, firstly there was the size of it the place was big. And the fact that it had a huge iron gate says it all, however there was the second set of emotions that reminded him of home, or at least his old building at Eton. With both of these rushing up at the same time he found it hard to tell whether he liked the look, or the prospect of living there.
Serena's comment on his mocking tone brought him back to the conversation at hand. And the fact that Jame's just took the comments without reaction, and worse apologized to him for getting insulted slightly baffled Leon. He tried to get the measure of James when they first bumped into him but he just couldn't tell. In Leon's mind anyone who could turn into metal would be harder than this, not just in body but mind.
"No need to apologize to me, and anyway it was just a bit of fun. See he doesn't seem to mind." He said, putting his lighter back in his pocket. After that he started to walk faster in the direction of the Mansion, it was not high on his to-do list to meet some more anti-mutant people. Especially if they would be inclined to use violence on them. Although he wouldn't really want to meet them a part of him did want a few to try something, not many just a few so that he could let off a bit of steam and have some fun.
With that thought he slowly looked around trying to not draw attention to what he was doing. As far as he could see the coast was clear and there was nobody in sight. Oh well there is always next time. He thought feeling slightly disappointed.

Leon turned to Serena when she mentioned the fact that they should be leaving. "You're right we should get out of here, sorry about the whole fire thing, I probably should have warned you." He said with a slight smile, the fact that this girl did not seem to be scared or a bit...weary was quite impressive to Leon. The few people that Leon had shown his mutation to either ran or where scared, not that he blamed them after all fire was a dangerous thing.
"Anyway shall we?" He asked Serena. beckoning to the walkway ahead of them, as he said this he felt a tickling sensation in the back of his throat, it was mild and nothing special but he couldn't help to laugh a little. This gave the comment a slight comedic hint that he hadn't intended it to have.
Without waiting to hear Serena's reply Leon started to walk down the path that he had motioned too. As he walked he couldn't help to start laughing more, using his hand to cover his mouth hoping that Serena would not notice and think he's slightly...odd.

Almost there? Can't be, I can not see anything that looks like a mansion.
He could feel the fire in his vein's calming as he pulled the veil over the comment about his parents, the veil being the lie about his parents hating him. Some part of him wanted to still be angry, after all in his own way he liked the anger. It made him feel strong and independent, as though he didn't need anyone else to support him.
But then there was the other side of him, the side that was still loyal to his own flesh and blood, the part that wanted to keep up the whole show of calm and collected and act as if his parents hadn't kicked him out. That was the part that triumphed in his own minds civil war.
... Was that a watch? when not annoyed or angry Leon would have just passed it off as a normal action, but alas he was angry at James and the way he inadvertently bad mouthed his parents. "Why could you not put it on before?" He asked James with a half smile, more mocking than friendly. "It's not like a watch could do much damage to someone, and I don't recall any laws about not wearing a watch. This however can burn down buildings and I think it's illegal for me to carry it." He continued to tell James with that half cocked smile. Pulling out his lighter and gesturing to it and the watch now attached to James wrist.

Leon looked back upon hearing the girls voice, what he saw did not fit the new image he had of her. In his mind he had a bad ass fighting machine, but what he saw changed all that and in a way made him much more sympathetic to her. As he looked at her he saw that she was quite a bit paler than before and breathing hard.
"Its OK, you know in its own way it was kinda cool." He said, as he spoke the apprehension and shocked look on his face melted into a smile, after all it was obvious this girl hadn't planned to fight, even if she did have the most dangerous weapon that he had ever seen. that was comparing to the knifes and occasional guns that roamed the streets of London.
It was odd to Leon this girl seemed like a coin, one side was a sweet and innocent girl who just wanted to be friends. And on the flip-side was a high powered fighting machine, but at the same time they effected each other, noting the shortness of breath. He stopped as he noticed a familiar black/ grey mound on the floor.
"Just one second, it would be best not to let people find this." he said warmly, it was as much his fault that these people had gotten hurt and attacked them. Concentrating on the mound of ash he began to feel the warmth burn into the center of his chest and spread to his finger tips. Watching with a smile as the pile began to shift and rise like smoke from a chimney.
Once the cloud was in the air, slowly shifting never staying still for more than a second, Leon looked down to his fingertips to see the familiar flames starting to appear. they started from the very tips of his fingers, quickly spreading across his body like hairline fractures. each line was no more than a hair in width, and never touching the skin, always close enough to feel the warmth but never close enough to burn.
He was suddenly very conscious that they where on a time limit, so he quickly willed the cloud to go down his throat and join the rest of his reserves.

Leon's first feeling was relief, if the building could be wrecked then it probably wasn't made out of metal. Well at least he hoped it wasn't or there are some crazy strong people at the mansion. The feeling of relief was short lived however when he was asked if his parents tossed him aside like some broken toy, it was an understandable conclusion to make but it still made Leon angry.
"No actually I told them and then we all decided it was best if I came over here." He said with all the previous kindness gone, It wasn't nice to lie to James about what really happened. But it was the easier than trying to explain what really happened, mainly because what really happened supports what James said. And as much as Leon tried to deny that he was cast aside or put out of sight, he just couldn't. The very idea ate away at the core of him spreading like a wildfire through his veins.
He could feel his hand clenching into a fist, inside he knew that he wasn't angry with James. Just himself, angry with the way he ruined his life in England, angry at not being given a chance by his parents after all it was still him even if he could do more than the normal human. To hide his anger he put his hand into his pocket hoping they wouldn't notice, or if they did they would pass it off as a fact that he's cold.
Leon knew that if he didn't calm down fast he would start to do his thing. And not by choice, it wasn't the fact that he would hurt both Serena and James that bothered him, it was the feeling when it happened the way he looses control of his muscles and mind. Again he thought that he shouldn't be so inconsiderate of Serena and James but it was more in his nature and he just couldn't help it, living in a dog eats dog society had made him slightly numb to the selfishness of the thoughts.
"So Serena, what can you do around here to pass the time?" He asked failing to keep a bit of the anger out of his voice. He knew that they would pick up on how fast and abrupt he was in his speech, but in his own little way he just failed to care.

Leon nodded to James. Everything could be worse was a philosophy he knew well, the question was and always will be worse for who? "Yeah it could be worse, you could be someone in a new country with no money or place to live." He said to James with a small smile. Determined to not let the fact that until he reached the mansion he was technically homeless sink in.
With that he started to focus more on specifics of the Mansion. Taking the questions in his mind and answering them one at a time. As he noted off different things about the place that seemed to make sense to him, a mental image started to built in his head.
OK OK lets think, mutants...powers...protection. That makes sense i guess? He thought as an image that vaguely resembled a mansion formed in his mind. A mansion with more....military to it. Once he had taken the places he knew it had and added them to his mental image it looked more like Hogwarts than a mansion. Well if Hogwarts had been made of steel and run by the military.
Don't be stupid I would have noticed a giant metal fortress from the sky. He thought to himself with a sigh. Disregarding his mental image, Leon couldn't believe that he had actually considered the Mansion looking like that, it was rather comical in its own way. Like a idea a cartoon character would come up with.
"So Serena with all of the guests doesn't the place get wrecked allot? Even if it is by accident." He asked curiously hoping to disprove the mental image he had built.

"No. I haven't seen much of the mansion at all." He said, he hadn't thought to look up the mansion before flying out here. As his transport to the mansion had been arranged before hand, but it left without him when his plane was delayed. It was a rather stupid move to not research where exactly the mansion was, and he was just glad that he wasn't the only mutant to make that mistake.
After hearing Serena introduce herself to James it dawned on Leon that he didn't introduce himself. Well not formally at least, he guessed James knew his name as Serena had called him by his name in front of James. "Oh sorry, I never introduced myself I'm Leon." He said with a slight smile.
As they walked this thoughts turned to the mansion, what would it be like? Would he find more people like James and Serena. He would certainly find more mutants that much he already knew but what would they be like? All of these questions started to form in his head, but all at once not quite able to dwell on one before a new Question takes its place.

The whole fight passed like a blur, as hard as he tried Leon just could not seem to come to terms with what was happening. This girl who he had just met took down all four men single handed, whilst he just stood there like a lemon.
"What..What just happened?" He asked failing to keep his voice from shaking. After all he had just witnessed a innocent looking girl beat up four full grown men. With nothing but blood. That would be enough to shake anyone up, well at least anyone Leon knew.
Looking around at the men on the floor. They where clearly breathing as he could see their chests moving up and down slowly. Well at-least she didn't kill them. He thought as he had no intention to commit murder.Although they where alive it would change nothing, if they didn't move fast they would either be found with the body's and arrested. Or they would wake up and attack again.
"You know what it doesn't even matter what you did. Lets just get out of here." He said. Thankfully some of the stability was returning to his voice so he didn't sound so pathetic. Then he turned and started to move away from the body's. Glancing back to check if the girl was following.

Leon hadn't thought of that. Did my parents bother to phone ahead? Or am I just supposed to sort it out my self? Thinking about it he hadn't spoken to his parents apart from organizing the plane ticket, even then they had seemed a bit...distant.
"Well I only arrived in America today so I'm not sure if my parents called ahead or not." He said bluntly. There was no reason to hide the fact that he was new in America, his accent already gave away the fact that was British. To him being British was a badge that he would wear with pride.
As he walked he noticed that he had finished his cigarette. Looking around the be sure that no one else was looking at them, mainly checking for potential anti-mutant rioters. After confirming that no-one was looking in their direction, he continued to put the burnt remains of the cigarette in his mouth and swallow the ashes.
He smiled slightly as the familiar sensation of spicy heat flowed down his neck before settling in his chest. Then he realized that that could not look healthy to James. Or for that matter Serena. After all smoking was unhealthy in itself, but eating the leftovers to anyone else that would just be plain nasty.

Well that cleared things up, kinda. The way James talked about his family as though they where just parts of his past with no real connection. It was as though he had cut himself off from the past before he left for the mansion, at least that's what it sounded like to Leon.
And that really started to annoy him.
After all your family is flesh and blood, you can pick your friends just fine but your family is something else. With bonds much stronger that shouldn't be broken so easily. Some times it is easy to loose your temper with family members, Leon has had many arguments with his family but it always worked out. He always made it right.
Even this, being sent to America was just another bump in their relationship. The way he had just dumped such a large secret on his family, it was easily understandable that they needed some time away from him. And in a few months or years he would make amends with his parents.
But the way that James spoke seemed to be something different, it was as though he wanted nothing more than to be away from his family. To never see them again. After all James didn't look like he came from a broken home, reasonably well dressed and fed, so as much as Leon tried to see why he would hate his family so much, he just couldn't. It was like it he just didn't care.
With a glance he realized that James had started to move, to what he assumed would be the mansion. He made his way to catch up with James. With a quick glance to see if Serena was following. Having no intention to get caught by more rioters. Especially alone.

Leon shrugged, although it was true america had different laws on smoking he just chose not to follow them. After all he had been smoking for over a year and wasn't going to stop now. "Oh well, it's your choice." He replied to the guy who had identified himself as James. A part of him was thinking that James is to young to smoke and it was wrong to offer, but he had started off at 16 so it was a rather hypocritical thought.
Another British person. And their a mutant, today's either very lucky or I got on the wrong plane.
"Nottingham huh, never really been down there. I'm from London you see." Said Leon with a slight smile, remembering the tales and cartoons of Robin Hood. especially one where he was a fox. then more questions started to rise in his head.
If he's from England maybe he hasn't been in the country long. But he said he was thrown out so how could he of bought a plane ticket.
"So James. I guess you live in around here then?" He asked with genuine curiosity, if he did live around here then maybe he could help to get to the mansion faster. No that couldn't be right. Could it? He looked as lost as they did, and he already said he was supposed to get a taxi to the mansion in the morning. All of these questions and ideas started to make his brain hurt.
Looking at him he really did look lost. Weird considering by the sounds of it he lived in america, oh well the best guess is that he just didn't get out much. That aside he looked like a nice enough guy, maybe a little awkward at times and that's fair enough with the whole metal arm thing. Thinking about how James mutation could activate on its own made Leon feel grateful that he had a decent level of control over his.

"Um yeah... we are British, any reason why you ask?" Said Leon with much more warmth to his voice, failing too notice the accent the man spoke with. He though to himself that there was no need to be worried after all I doubt this guy even qualifies to be a rioter. He's to...twitchy
However that may be a problem. he thought looking at the arm. With a mutation that can activate on its own and one that's so noticeable, traveling to the mansion could get tricky. Why is today so stressful! He thought to himself angrily, pulling out his pack of cigarettes and lighter, I mean come on first a mugger then rioters and now this. If i was religious i would call it a divine test.
"Want one?" He asked the new guy as he put a cigarette in his mouth. Looking at the pack he realized with shock that it only had 3 left. He knew that he had allot more in his bag but really he had burned through allot today. On the other hand he would start to slow down when he got settled at the mansion. Until then these where the way he was keeping it together.
I sorta hope that he takes one, he really looks like he could use it.
As he looked at the man and lit his own cigarette. Taking a long deep inhale. Feeling the calmness spread through him like blood flows through his veins. Looking at the guy more closely now he noticed that he couldn't be older than him or Serena. upon noticing this he felt slightly bad about offering him a cigarette, as it is a bad habit. But hey its legal in England so he wasn't doing anything wrong to his knowledge.

Well. Leon certainly didn't expect that to happen. When the girl had told him to get behind her his first thought was she has a gun and doesn't want to shoot me. He had some other ideas about what she was going to do ranging from hidden knifes to laser beams. However this had not made his list.
"AH WHAT THE!" Was all he could think to say as all of the blood in the area began to float around her. Even if there was a visible connection between the girl and the weird floating blood, he just couldn't help being slightly creep'd out, border-lining scared. The way the blood was moving in a seemingly unpredictable pattern around her.
Although it did make him feel more accepted when she referred to him as her friend. On the other hand it started to bring up memory's of people that he had left behind, people who had helped him in situations with gangs and likewise people he himself had helped.
As he noticed the man with the bat growling he thought Well looks like things are going to get real ugly. Crouching slightly making sure he had a clear place to run away if things got a little... To rough.

A metal arm, seriously? Somebody must have not told this guy people are out to kill mutants. Oh well if this guy is a mutant, which he fairly obviously is, it does mean that he isn't an immediate threat to them.
"Thanks. So i guess your from the mansion?" Said Leon with a touch of kindness, after all he is a mutant. And he highly doubted a mutant would work with the rioters.
As he looked at the man more closely now he noticed more features about him, most noted was his height. He was smaller than Leon and he knocked him over...by walking. Damn that's embarrassing. But at least Leon wasn't being awkward over Serena.
Well someones a bit self conscious. Thought Leon as he watched the guy stand a little taller and become slightly rigid. The laugh with the comment. nothing was more obvious than a nervous laugh.
Oh well if he was from the mansion they would be spending more time together, so maybe he could get some help about the whole self confidence issue. And possibly stop going metal arms at people walking into him.
