Gateway

Originally "Noel, Noel Community Service”, the residents of this homeless shelter decided to coin the name Gateway because this place represents a crossroads. Every resident comes to Gateway to decide whether to conform to the law or deviate from it. The homeless have an option to stabilize their lives or enter a life of crime through the owner's connections. This area establishes itself as a key factor in the lives of civilians, villains, and even the occasional corrupt hero. This shelter provides an alternative for people at risk of drowning in the pipes of Underground Ithcona. [[File:Aoi Yume no Mukou He.png|thumb|312x312px| Image: "Aoi Yume no Mukou He" by Coola

Now, this building lies as an underground facility in the Suburbs of Ithcona. After reconstruction, this facility constructed an Underground City that expands enough to make up a quarter of Ithcona. Gateway now contains the fortification to accommodate for at least 85% of the homeless population and remains resistant to future missile strikes. Since Gateway qualifies as a piece of private property and lies outside of city restrictions, Gateway allows the use of quirks within its facility.

Residents are now required to register at the Entrance of Gateway to receive an identification card with their name and face on it known as Gateway Cards. Some bars and nightclubs accept this form of identification even though it only lists a name and shows a photograph. The cards allow people to access the Elevators, which contain a characteristic right and left elevator that takes both residents to the same location, the Underground Streets.
