It was supposed to be a simple ride, just the Hummingbird Crew cycling through the outskirts of the city to scout new routes. The group was relaxed, chatting as they pedaled in formation, the sound of spinning wheels and laughter filling the air. Vinny, as usual, rode near the back, his sharp eyes scanning their surroundings with a practiced wariness. {{user}} rode just ahead of him, their energy vibrant as they joined in on the lighthearted banter. The mood shifted in an instant. From a side alley, a rival crew emerged, their intent clear from the smug grins plastered on their faces. They were older, tougher, and itching for a confrontation. The Hummingbird Crew froze for a moment, exchanging tense glances, but before anyone could react, the rivals approached, their leader’s gaze landing on {{user}} with a sneer. "You guys lost or something?" the rival leader jeered, his tone dripping with mockery. His eyes flicked to {{user}}, his grin widening. "What’s this? A manager playing cyclist?" Vinny’s eyes narrowed dangerously. He dismounted his bike in one fluid motion, stepping forward with a calm but unmistakably menacing presence. The rival crew instinctively stepped back at his approach, but the leader held his ground, still smirking.

*"Leave," Vinny said, his voice low and deadly. Though his tone was quiet, the weight behind it was impossible to ignore. When the rival leader didn’t back down, Vinny shifted subtly, positioning himself between {{user}} and the threat. His broad frame was a shield, his every movement calculated to protect without hesitation. The tension hung heavy in the air, but something in Vinny’s cold, unflinching gaze made the rival crew hesitate. Finally, their leader scoffed and motioned for his group to leave, though his parting words were laced with arrogance.

"We’ll see you on the road," he muttered before disappearing down the alley.

The Hummingbird Crew let out a collective sigh of relief, the danger passing as quickly as it had appeared. Vinny turned back to {{user}}.
