Vic: "hey...kid" hearing voices echoing..
Izuku: "mm..Vic?" he moaned out
VIc: "take it easy kiddo...you need to get used to the implants...Izuku...it worked" he sat up and he scratched his head with...his metal arm?..and then he sees a hud 
Izuku: "shit Vic...is this?!" looking at his arm...
Vic: "your cyberware kid...congrats on a scientific breakthrough
Izuku looks at a mirror...seeing his metal arm..his eyes had some lines and metal bionic patterns all over his body and his hand...his fingers...were also metal 
Vic: "you had some nerve damage on your right hand...so i installed your Gorilla fist...and...well you know how they work" and soon he stands up..his body feeling heavier...likely from the cyberware...it worked...his project worked...
Izuku: "fucking aid Vic...it worked" and he was excited and for the first time in years....he cried...
Vic..although he wasn't good with this type of stuff knew the kid went through a lot...he had this planned out since he was seven...and worked nonstop to get it to work...
so the only he did was pull him into a small hug with one arm wrapping around him 
Vic: "you did it kid...this is your success" 
Izuku: "No Vic..it's ours...it couldn't be possible without you" happy soon he hears a ruffling noise he looks to one of the chairs to see the corpo girl resting..she was out of those revealing clothes and was wearing the standard jean, T-shirt and sweater asleep on the chair 
Izuku: "wasn't she suppose to go back to Japan?" 
Vic: "apparently she didn't want to leave her savior in the dark...she waited until you recovered fine" 
Izuku: "strange" 
Vic: "here in nightcity it's rare for a stranger to care this much" 
Izuku: "please...give her a year or two to become just like the rest of us" 
Vic: "doesn't mean that it's unwelcomed" Soon the door opens to V walking in 
V: "oh shit kid thank fucking goodness your okay" enveloping him in a small hug 
Izuku: "hey....please stop" 
V: "you idiot...*sigh* well can't say your plan didn't work...also nice arm" and Izuku just adjusts it a little bit 
V: "shit man is this that cyberware your talking about" 
Izuku: "yeah..it is" 
V: "Jackie is gonna go insane when he sees it" 
Izuku: "i know" soon he hears some stirring looking behind her he sees the Corpo girl waking up 
Momo: "wha?" 
Izuku walks up to her: "i see your finally awake sleeping beauty" 
Momo: "You...your okay" 
Izuku: "No shit" 
Vic: "Johnny" stern with him he can tell when he's saying something mean 
Izuku: "*sigh*...yes...thank you for your concern" 
Momo: "oh...no problem" 
V: "so...what do we do now?" 
Izuku: "i'll call Wakako..she can make some arrangements" 
Momo: "Wakako?" 
Izuku: "my Fixer...the one who gave me the contract to get you" 
Momo: "Contract...you mean you were paid to save me?" 
Izuku: "Of course...can do shit for free here..have to make some living to stay alive" 
Momo: "this place...what is it?" 
Izuku: "you are in NIghtcity sweetcakes" 
Momo: "stop being an ass...where is this nightcity" 
Izuku: "here with good ol uncle sam..." soon she sees a bit clearer now and...his eyes and arm were...made of something else
Momo: "what is this?" 
Izuku: "this is my project corpo slut...and no it's not for sale" 
Momo: "i'm not trying to..ugh" 
Izuku: "mm -hmm...anyway need to make a call to get your ass back home" he stood up and soon made the call 
Wakako: "Izuku...have you retreive the goods?" 
Izuku: "ready and good to go...i'm getting tired of her questions" 
Wakako: "as expected...i made some arrangements with the girls father...you will meet him down at Watson docks at 7 AM tomorrow" 
Izuku: "hold up...you mean i have to deal with her for the rest of the day?!" 
Wakako: "it's no different from *ahem* other things you've done with the females here..why should this one be any different?" 
Izuku: "she's corpo blood...and annoying" 
Wakako: "please..it's only one day...deal with it" and soon she hangs up 
V: "so what's on the agenda?" 
Izuku: "I...have to deal with her for the rest of the day...until her ride comes for her tomorrow" 
Vic: "so she's stuck with you...perfect" 
V; '"well i ain't getting caught in this shit..you have fun" 
Izuku: "ass" 
V: "i know it's nice" 
Izuku: "*sigh*" pinching his nose...great...he still has to pick up some more supplies...and more booze
Izuku: "alright girl...come on" 
Momo: "what...where are we going?" 
Izuku: "your ride isn't going to be here until tomorrow..so i have babysitting duty until then...so lets go" soon she reluctantly follows him to his car 
Izuku: "Vic here's what i owe you" giving him a card
Vic: "Much appreciated kid...you take care now...and come back if there's anything wrong" 
Izuku: "yep" and they both got in the car 
Momo: "So where are we going?" 
Izuku: "i need to pick up supplies since my weapon got damaged...first rule here at nightcity..you cannot go out alone..unless your armed...it doesn't matter who you are...you will get the short end of the stick here...and also since your very well developed and have the body of a model...your pretty much a prime target for a lot of men and Women...but the worst thing is Scavs" 
Momo: "Scavs?" 
Izuku: "rats of this place...they don't care about basic human morals..they will have their way with you even if you are a corpse...they like to torture people to the highest degree before they do whatever is left" 
Momo: "h-h-how are the authority here not trying to get rid of them?" 
Izuku: "they don't care for lowly people like us..we have to take care of ourselves...we try to survive..." 
Momo: "what about you?..." 
Izuku: "what about me" 
Momo: "do you try...to help the people?...are you hero?" and of course Izuku laughs 
Izuku: "good one...no i'm not a hero of any sorts...i'm a merc...and to answer your question i do help the people...they have bullshit happening to them already...and my hobby is to go around and kill Scavs or other gangs trying to pretend to be something they're not" 
Momo: "and what about those...are just doing it for free?" 
Izuku: "Still no..once i kill a bigshot i take a photo send it to NCPD and voila i get paid for it" 
soon they stop
Izuku: "alright we're here..stick close to me otherwise you'll end up in some other hellhole..understood?" 
Momo: "yes" and they both got out...walking up the stairs Momo takes in the sights even though she was just kidnapped..she can't help but find this...exciting...she rarely ever goes out of her home....and even though it was terrible on what happened to her..she still gets to see things 
even if they aren't good 
soon they enter the elevator
Izuku hits the button for the 7th floor and it goes up 
Momo looks out the window to see Nightcity...even though a lot of it seems to be run down..it looks very nice...athough that's the scary part...it's nice to look at but it's a hellhole itself 
soon the elevator opens 
Izuku: "HEY WILSON!!" hey yelled out 
Wilson: "Johnny what do you need!?" 
and they enter the gun shop 
Izuku: "i'm gonna need the same stuff" 
Wilson: "ah so how did your gun go?" 
Izuku: "too well..can explode cars from a single shot" 
Wilson: "and...your silver arm?" 
Izuku: "my project" 
Wilson: "nice...congrats kid" soon he pulls out a case with his name on it 
Izuku: "how much ?" 
Wilson: "since your a regular and kind of a nephew you will pay only 10 grand" 
Izuku: "good enough" pulling a card and he hands it to him 
Wilson takes and puts it in his pocket
Izuku: "oh and this is the corpo girl i was talking about" 
Wilson: "jesus you sure she's younger than you?" 
Izuku: "like i said to those two..a walking 'statutory rape' fine" 
Wilson laughs: "oh man you have no idea..but aren't you also still a minor?" 
Izuku: "whatever" 
Wilson: "anyway i'll see ya next time kiddo" 
Izuku: "yep" and he leaves with Momo following
Momo: "who was that?" 
Izuku: "his name is Wilson...and i owe him a lot for helping me" 
Momo: "how long have you've been doing this?" 
Izuku: "my first kill was when i was seven" 
Momo: "Seven?!" 
Izuku: "mm hmm" 
Momo: "how..how could you say it so carelessly?" 
Izuku: "everyone here has some type of blood on their hands..hell our news reporter here even gives out the fatality and casualty number every morning...it's part of our lifestyle we just have to make sure we don't become a part of that number" 
Momo: "what else do you need to do?" 
Izuku: "i want a drink" and soon he drives to Heywood...of course Momo assumes they are now in theh sketchy part of town
Izuku pulls up and parks in front of a place called 
'Coyotes cojo' 
Momo: "is this a bar?" 
Izuku: "what do you think?" and they both walk in to see some Valentinos surrounding a man with a suit on
"we don't like any of you corpo swine in our bar" 
Corpo: "huh?...isn't the bar for everyone to be in?" clearly he is drunk 
Momo was going to say something until 
Pepe: "hey you two knock it off...Johnny can you get that?" and soon Izuku walks up to them 
Izuku "you heard what Pepe said..back the fuck off" and they turn to him 
"he's a corpo swine..all they care about is themselves...and your going to protect him?" 
Izuku: "i'm not Biased to these sort of things..if someone is in trouble i will help them..so if you don't want to end up in a dumpster somewhere you better fuck off!" soon one of them takes out a gun 
"oh yeah..how about now Johnny...you can't do shit" soon in a quick flash grabs the gun out of his hand and points it at him 
still shocked at what just happened his buddy nudges him 
"let's get out man...he...you don't want to fuck with him let's go" and soon Izuku pulls out the mag and chambers the bullet out...and he throws it away 
Corpo: "ugh...hey..why did you help me" 
Izuku: "you were in trouble...thought i live up to my name and help you..and no payment is needed" 
Corpo: "you..just felt like it?...man we need more of you here...here you can take what i have the rest goes to Pepe" giving him a card 
Izuku: "Much obliged" and he walks up to Pepe who already got a drink ready 
Momo was in awe...seeing how skilled he is taking out the gun from his hand..diffusing a situation that could've end badly...Japan could really need a hero like him around
Momo sat down with him and she noticed he was drinking alcohol
Momo: "aren't you just 2 years older than me?" 
Izuku: "So what?" 
Momo: "why are you drinking" 
Izuku: "who gives a fuck...no one" and drinks up soon Pepe leans to him 
Pepe: "so uh Izuku...whos the girl...you finally found a permenent one yet?" while Momo was drinking water although she had some distaste for it. 
Izuku: "she's part of a job..her ride won't be coming until tomorrow" 
Pepe: "eh...can tell..if she's not satisfied with the water means she's just your typical rich gal how much they paying you?" 
Izuku: "it's random...they didn't give me an official number yet...although i have a bad feeling about it" 
Pepe: "you can call up Mama welles..i'm sure a lot of the Valentinos would be glad to help out" 
Izuku: "don't want to risks getting someone killed" 
Pepe: "when will you ever ask for help?...always try to play it alone...sure V and Jackie would help out...but that's only if you really need them" 
Izuku: "I work on my op..if i need help then i'll get help" 
Pepe: "ah...are still dreaming of being a hero?...what happened to that?...i remembered the seven year old that would talk about quirks and heroes all the time" 
Izuku: "...each day that dream fades slowly...honestly seeing how things are here.it seems like it's my calling to help the people here" 
Pepe soon smacks his head 
Izuku: "the fuck" 
Pepe: "you know...you may be a really good merc and planner Sprout...but you really are loco...it doesn't matter how much you help the people..sooner or later those same people will become like the rest off us..either killed or they're killing"
Izuku: "*sigh*...i basically escaped one hell to end up in another one...and i would rather stay in this one" 
pepe: "I don't know about that...Mama Welles knows how badly your becoming corrupted by this place...i think it's time for you to make your own path..and pursue your dream" 
Izuku: "what are you talking about?" 
Pepe: "i'm saying...is you should Delta out of this place...and try to be a hero Chimaco"
