"OOOOOOW GOD DANGIT!!!"

While Mira installed my arm, I could feel my nerves reconnecting. That hurt A LOT. Mira shook her head in disappointment. "I told you that you might want anesthesia."

"I think you might have been righ- Ow!"

Mira tweaked the arm into place. It looked extremely menacing. "Now, Josh, I'm going to activate the skin camouflage. It will match what your arm looked like before."

Booooooring. Well, I need to trust Mira on this. She knows what she's doing. Raven walked into the room and looked at my prosthetic limbs. "Damn, and I thought you couldn't get cooler."

"Well, I would be happy to shoot your arm with a Desert Eagle."

She smirked. "I'll pass."

Something clicked in my arm. "And done! Josh, I added a weapons system to it, so try activating that. It'll be just like Iron Man's repulsors. Use it sparingly though. It take a lot of electrolytes to power it."

I strain my fingers. I hear a charging sound, and my hand heats up significantly. I fire it, and it leaves a mark in the wall. When I fire it, pieces of the camouflage dissipate and show certain pieces of my augmented arm showing. "Nice!"

Mira looks at me with an evil grin. "I'm now going to install the enhancement to the rest of you. Want anesthesia?"

I nod rapidly. Raven cracks her knuckle. "I got this."

She punches me square in the face and I black out. I can hear Mira faintly harass Raven about punching me. All I knew is that my face hurt.

***---__+__---***

Jason and Mitch brought some news to us. "We scared Viktoria out of Berlin. So, our next flight is to Japan. Tokyo, Japan, where she's meeting up with a famous gangster, Wei 'Squirrel boy' Yamakaze. He and his cronies will be stationed outside a shrine on the outskirts of Saitama, so we need disguises."

Jason continued. "Mira, since we need 6 people to infiltrate the shrine, you will be heading into the field. You ok with that?"

Mira looked scared. I put my hand on her shoulder. "I'll watch you back."

She looks at my hand, and nods. Mitch adds on to Jason's earlier brief. "But before this shrine infiltration, we need to earn Wei's trust at a club. Now, most of the people there are aggressive boyfriends and all the girls you can think of. To get Wei's trust, we need to show him we're 'gang' material. Mira, Pyra, we need you to pick up the strongest guy you can find, and then you, Josh, need to hit on the girls."

I had no experience with girls. I've had girls hit on me, but at that time, I was clueless. Couldn't take a hint for jack-shit. Pyra blushed, and her face was redder than her hair. Mira also blushed, considering me putting my hand on her shoulder was almost too much for her to handle. Jason continued. "Raven, you are going to need to hack into Wei's phone and delay the meet time with Viktoria as needed. Now, we were wearing masks in the dock raid, so she doesn't know our faces. Mitch and I will infiltrate the shrine early and be Wei's 'negotiators', and give her the product Wei is shipping. But' it's a fake payload, and will explode after the car accelerates over 35 mph."

Raven looked bored, and Jason noticed that. "And, Raven, after Wei's phone is hacked, you can join Pyra and Mira."

She smirked and mouthed 'YES!' while pumping her fist back. Mitch looked at me with a smile. "You are one lucky bastard."

"Can I go to the shrine with you? Please?"

"Not a chance"

I sighed. Why do I always end up doing the hard work?
