Several days a week they run a pop-up clinic out of various locations around the city, usually volunteered to them by sympathetic community members -- bodega basements, people's houses, people's stores after-hours. | ||
**Past this, they're also well-known in the mutant community for putting the smackdown on people who try messing with mutants on their turf. This largely means people get very wary of starting any anti-mutant violence in the neighborhood of East New York, but on a larger level the Mongrels' insignia tends to make people think twice about picking on mutants nearby. | **Past this, they're also well-known in the mutant community for putting the smackdown on people who try messing with mutants on their turf.

*The Mongrels' emblem is a Jolly Roger, though each one is personalized to the rider. It is universal that the MC logo contains a skull and crossbones, with the skull always altered in some way to look other-than-human (horns, fangs, etc.) but the particular manner of freakishness as well as the crossbones below vary heavily from member to member. | *The Mongrels' emblem is a Jolly Roger, though each one is personalized to the rider.

*Their name and insignia is ''quite'' well-known in both mutant and latinx community in the city, and people tend to be very well aware of their business. While opinions of them are extremely varied, there is often a reluctance in community to outright turn them in to the cops -- whether this comes from fear or the fact that everyone and their mother has a family member who has been helped by the Mongrels at some time or other, whether it was turning up with medicine when their grandmother was sick or Christmas presents when they couldn't afford toys for their kids or weekly dinners after their father was laid off. | |||
