Answer for that is in the post, which is a bit late but still up.
Lost a fair bit of time trying to find a good image to steal for the school grounds before decided to just write it out instead.

“No, they likely aren’t” Slade would agree with Jinny, smirking slightly as he did so. Finding some amount of humor in the fact that her thoughts and his own had skirted along similar lines. And his plan for his first class would teach everyone in it that fact very quickly.
But those thoughts were for another time.
“That’s up to you.” The older man would answer “But it won’t stay a secret for long either way I suspect. Because while the students won’t think much of it, the staff and others in the underworld will easily be able to put things together. My adoption of you was, for the most part, legal. Which means it won’t take very long for anyone who goes looking to find your connection to me.” Which was true. According to the law she was Jinayah Ifriti-Wilson. His legal ward and child. And Slade had never hidden his name. A fact he always found enjoyable, since almost no one expected that to be the case. Even Deathstroke was a callsign he used when he was still a part of the military.
“Short term it won’t be an issue, and will in fact be safer. Our home is defensible, but HIVE’s facility will be more so once we are settled. And the set up will make it very difficult for single target contracts to be carried out without making a lot of rather powerful enemies.” Yes, it would put out what it was Jinny could do. But even that had the potential to benefit her in the long run.
“Long term it might be more of an issue, but that depends on how things develop there and we can leave before things get unsalvageable.” So long as they get at least a year at HIVE, the time spent there would prove to be worth it. As after that Slade would have enough of a baseline to continue to properly train Jinny’s powerset. As well as a deep enough understanding of how HIVE was going to operate to be able to predict it. Anything after that was simply a bonus.
With the forest trip taken care of time would pass quickly. Before long it would be the day. The day they both left for H.A.E.Y.P. Though getting there wasn’t going to be much of a hassle. Be it luck or providence, the academy was located in Jump city. So once breakfast was finished and the house was locked up it would be a simple drive to the private estate grounds where the academy was located. And while it would be quite the drive, but Slade and Jinayah had both been earlier risers for years at this point. Thus, shortly before noon on a balmy Friday they would arrive.
The school was a large multibuilding structure situated on several acres of woodlands. The main building was the largest and housed the main offices and class rooms, along side the library and lunchroom. The other buildings had more specialized class rooms, such as those used for Auto mechanics or woodshop, held dorms for both staff and students, or housed the gymnasium. Which had all manner of exercise equipment as well as a diving pool and lap area.
On the grounds themselves there was another pool, outside, and geared more towards fun with various water park frivolities, such as waterslides and diving boards. There were also a few courts for either basket ball or tennis as well as a track and field area. Other pathways leading away from the academy implied that they had even more buildings situated elsewhere on the grounds, but what they were wasn’t apparent at the moment.
All in all, it looked like an upscale, and extravagant, private bordering school. Because that is what it was. Jin wasn’t the only student showing up either from the looks of things. As when her and Slade exited the car there were at least a dozen others that were also arriving. Some looked older, a few looked younger, and the rest seemed to fit into Jinayah’s age bracket.
The students were easy to pick out. All of them wore a similar looking uniform, one that Jinayah had herself. A gray blazer had the academy’s logo emblazed on the breast. A white under shirt, with a deep purple tie or small ribbon. The boys had slacks, and the girls were split between also waring slacks or moderate skirts, with the majority leaning towards skirts. The uniform was finished off with black dress shoes. All of them had a member of the staff talking either to them or to their guardians. Answering questions about the layout of the school and other such mundane things.
“Quite the place they have here.” Slade would remark now that he had seen the place in person. It was an impressive showing, and made him wonder all the more what the parts that they had hidden away looked like. None of the staff would approach, but their arrival wasn’t unnoticed. As several of the staff members could be seen almost double taking when they noticed Slade himself. He had a reputation after all, that and they likely didn’t truly believe that he was going to be working here up until just now. If they even knew of such beforehand.
“Seems like we are being left to our own devices for the time being.” He would say turning his attention back to Jinny. Amused by the reactions of those here. “Do you want to go exploring a bit, get the lay of the land, or get the bureaucratic business out of the way?

Will have a post up tomorrow.
Have Slade's reaction to the latest turns of events, but fell into a rabbit hole when it came to researching how HIVE would be set up. In the end I decided I'm going to run it akin to an evil Charles Xavier's school for gifted youngsters. As that is really the best starting point I think

Why thank you, it's always fun to add those little things in.
And likely going to roll things forward, since the forest has fulfilled it's task. First day at Hive I think is where I'll take it next.

True to Oros’ assumption Penny was able to detect the radio signal. Though that, at first, didn’t really answer what it was that was about to happen. It was still enough to have Penny wary for what it could mean. After all Dan’s dimension was all in all rather light on electronic communications floating through the air.
When the clouds above were banished however, Penny already knew what it was that was about to happen. She remembered Brittney’s beach shop and the satellite bombardment that it held. She stood there staying up at Dan’s grinning face as her levity drained out of her. Leaving only a weary resignation. Seemed over kill in her opinion to use such a weapon in a snow ball fight, but she supposed that someone out there considered her enough of an enemy to not care.
Penny was just setting herself to brace against the torrential down pour when her vision was obscured by a giant pink umbrella. “Thanks Princess” Penny would say softly, unsure if her words could be heard over the gushing walls of water that surrounded them. That didn't mean the words were any less heartfelt though.
She tried to hold onto that dejection when the water finally subsided and she was able to more clearly inspect the damage dealt to her fort. She already knew that most of her Clones were gone, the force of the water enough to dispel all but those that were further away from the fort. But, with each moment that she surveyed the devastation her hurt grew and with its growth her sadness was shifted to rage.
Her gaze slowly found Oros and when it did there was a soft glow to Penny’s red eyes. She wouldn’t approach however. Leaving the confrontation to her girlfriend for the moment, as she wasn’t sure she could trust her self to stick to words at the moment.
Sam’s interjection wasn’t a welcome distraction, but Penny would respond regardless. “Kidnapping requires you to go out to abduct someone. Eliza came to us. MDP’s magic routinely creates sentient physical objects. Her assumption that Eliza was akin to that is understandable. I was about to explain her misconception as well, before Oros destroyed everything.”
She would take her eyes off of Oros for a moment to look at Samantha. “Besides, as you just pointed out there isn’t anything in the rules against it. So why are you complaining?” Penny’s voice was flat, nearly monotone, as she spoke. She would wait only a moment before returning her burning gaze to Oros, and moving to stand behind MDP. She doubted that Oros would apologize in any meaningful way, but she wanted to be near her girlfriend so that it would be easier for them both to leave.
The pair of Penny’s off near Victoria’s had escaped the water by jumping and triggering their hover jets and coasting above the flow of water as they watched their fort vanish behind a wall of water. Both of them were stuck silent at the display.
One of them was able to recover intime to wave back at Victoria “No problem, it was fun and I’m sad it got cut short.”
The other counterfeit would slowly turn in place noting how more or less everyone had decided to call it quits after the deployment of the orbital cannon.
Intentionally trying to mess it up.
Edit: I'm bringing it from online games, when someone is trying to make someone else lose the game.
Also could mean to intentionally act as dead weight to bring someone down.

Hmm, will need to think on that a bit myself, bet I got at the moment is excessive showboating or sandbagging his/her missions. Which not sure if she would do either of those.
It didn't really, granted the past few days was more to do with work then it, but still.
Went back though our posts and did realize that Slade hadn't mentioned that he was also going to be attending HIVE. I know that me and you talked about it. So now Jinny also knows that he is going along with her, because I almost assumed that there had been at least a passing mention about it.

Slade quietly wrapped his arm around Jinny when she embraced him. He, like her, wasn’t the most physical of people when it came to showing affection. But he would accept it from her when it came to this. Because Jinayah knew how it felt. And in the silence of his own mind, he would admit only to himself, that it did feel good to know that a child could show him sympathy about how he lost his children.
He would stay quiet in regards to her opinions when it came to hate. Because oddly enough, he couldn’t relate when it came to carrying that particular emotion. Not because he didn’t hate, because he did, just it was such rare occurrences that those he hated never lived long after he came to such a conclusion about them. He was more accustomed to dealing with the hate of others then his own really.
“You laugh now” Slade would huff seeing the mischief in his daughters niece’s eyes. Not hurt by the question “But I will remember this” He would warn with wry smile. “And I wouldn’t be opposed to a girlfriend” He would answer, knowing that his answer would have been different had Jinny not found her way into his life. “But that’s not going to be needed to keep me from being lonely”
“And I’ll make sure to give you and your friend to be some space at HIVE” He would go Amicably, not doubting her declaration. Shared trials had a way of bringing people together, assuming it didn’t push them apart in the first place. And he was likely going to be a trial to most everyone else “Because you didn’t think I was going to leave your training up to HIVE alone, did you?”
“I’m coming along as a teacher”
