What was this then?

His day at the park had gone by like normal, go over the plans to fix the Ferris wheel with some of the best minds in their little community. None of them engineers, but they had fixed it in the past every time it broke down. Then after that, he would hit up their orphanage area and look after some of the kids, raising them the same way he himself had been raised in this community.

Indeed, his day had been progressing like normal until suddenly one of their sentries came running up to him. Something about scary people showing up with big machinery. Were they about to threaten his, no, their home? Just in case things were going to go south, Eiji swung by Bean's place first and had her tag along. Either way it sounded like something serious. A situation where it couldn't hurt to have two parts of the Hummingbird present.

The Hummingbirds were a vigilante gang on the surface, but in reality as Mikoto Mori was probably about to see, it was a lot more complicated than that. Civilians also depended on their protection and over time, the theme park had grown into its own little community, or maybe even micro city. It wasn't just some gang squatting in an abandoned park, they had doctors, nurses, orphans, fathers, brothers and sisters and anyone in between. It was a free place where The Hummingbirds worked tirelessly to keep drugs and other bad things off the streets, at the very least in their part of the crime-ridden Shinjuku. So in a way, they were a necessary evil, a gang that on paper, was a street gang, but in reality was protecting their community from much worse criminal gangs taking over.

As the Heart of the Hummingbirds, one of the top ranking gang members, Eiji brought along the Left Talon, also known as Bean. Together they were both one part each that made up a whole bird.

''Yo! Which one of you is the boss?'' Eiji walked down to the entrance, smiling as he approached the crowd of people and their heavy machinery, Bean by his side. He found that it was always better to try and be diplomatic and friendly at first. If it turned out they needed to fight, well, they could always start beating up people.

Now how the hell did someone like him find himself all the way out here? He was a street rat from Shinjuku, born to the streets and raised by them. Well, at least as far as he was aware. He had committed some form of crime ever since he was a kid, not like the serious stuff that'll land you in jail or anything like that, but enough to label him as a lost cause to most of society. Thankfully he had a supportive community behind him. The very same community he worked so hard to give back to. It was the reason he had taken Iphi up on the offer too. Even though she was a hero, or at least working with the heroes, Eiji knew he might have a shot at improving his quirk in this research study, or at the very least understand it a little better.

''Fancy place you got here!'' He smiled as he walked in, looking this way and that before his eyes settled on the glass screen. ''Don't suppose this is yours?'' No it was definitely a rented place. Anywhere and everywhere in Tokyo was, prices were way ridiculous here. ''As you probably know, I'm Eiji.'' He pointed a prosthetic thumb back at his chest proudly. He wore pretty normal street wear, something you would expect a young punk to be dressed in, but by far his most striking feature was the missing arm replaced by a prosthetic. ''So, how's this thing work? You wanna see what my power is all about?'' He grinned confidently, putting his hands on his hips.
