After that night of passion between our undercover agent and rightful ruler of Ithcona, they've been more productive and a lot less stressed. Their comrades noticed the change and knew something happened between the two but didn't bother to ask because war was approaching fast, the city itself could feel it and knew that there would be an unpredictable number of casualties and some of them could be among those numbers.

Some spies that managed to infiltrate Halliday's ranks informed them that Halliday plans to do something big that would change the whole world for the worst, Izuku knew it had something to do with Project Extinction. He knew they needed to prevent whatever was to come but they were still missing some pieces of information that might help them tip the scale in their favor, so for the moment they have to play everything by ear.

On a specific day where most of the organization was ready for the impending war, Izuku was in his office looking over some documents and schematic's that talked about some weapons that had been shipped to them, the Rip-Off church was still willing to do business with them even though they might be involved in the war. He finished reviewing one and was about to take another but was interrupted by the doors opening with Integra, Mr. Cheng and Dutch carrying a fairly large metal case.

Dutch: Morning Boss, you got some time to talk?

Izuku: Sure, I needed a break anyway.

He neatly packed away the documents to make space for the case they dropped on his desk, he was curious on what might be inside but waited for them to explain. Integra gave him a quick peck on the cheek before taking a seat next to him with Dutch and Cheng sitting on the opposite side.

Izuku: So, what brings you here?

Cheng: Well, me and my men have been working on something that might help you in the upcoming war. The cost of it was worth the outcome but we need to make sure it fits your standards.

Dutch: It was a hassle getting the material's for it since most of the ports around Ithcona are under watch by Halliday's men but we managed to somehow get them here.

Izuku: What exactly is this item that made you go out of your way to make it for me?

Cheng: Why don't you open the case and find out.

Izuku just stared at the two and looked over to Integra who gave him a sweet smile that kinda made him nervous, having a relationship with a woman that's not one of your girlfriends is something he did not know he would be doing. He wasn't sure how he was going to explain that he had another girlfriend that he only knew for over a year, he decided that was future Izuku's problem and focused back on the case that was on his desk.

He unclipped the locks that kept the case shut and watched it slowly open itself to reveal something he did not expect. It was an arm that had a metallic texture with some gold on the area's that allowed for movement, he brushed his fingers on the polished metal and could tell that it was crafted specifically for him and him alone.
