If We Go Down Then We Go Down Together (Talenny)

Talon - Limbs

My eyes flutter open and the first thing I notice is a searing pain in my left arm. On further inspection I notice I'm laying down, and I'm in the MAD Emergency Room. Yes, even evil organisations need hospitals. What, we're not invincible!

I turn my head to look at my arm and gape in astonishment. From the elbow down. it's not there, I mean it is but it's not if you know what I mean. There's AN arm there but it sure as hell ain't mine. It's METAL.

'What the fuck...' I say in astonishment, surprised to see that it moves at will like a normal limb. I prop myself into a sitting position as a doctor walks up.

'Hello Talon Sir.' he says, peering over his glasses at me. 'What the hell happened.' I growl. 'Well, what do you remember?' he replies with a question that annoys me. It was like before I joined MAD, when I asked a teacher for help on a question, and they'd ask me how to do it, like seriously it's your job to tell me.

'Umm... I think I remember being at a silo or something, and accidentally landing on a lighter?' I say with furrowed eyebrows. He nods in agreement. 'Yes, fine particles are extremely explosive.' he replies. Well, it's no use telling me now huh? I say to myself, holding back another growl.

'So this is my arm now?' I ask with eyebrows raised. 'Yes, if you want we can put a special holodisguise over the top so it blends in with your skin.' he replies. That sounds good, the one rule of battle is you should never show an injury to the enemy. I nod in agreement and he takes me into another room.

~Next Day~

I'm still kinda getting used to this arm, I gotta be careful with it but It'll probably come in handy in future fights. It's kinda waterproof, I have to put a special seal on it just incase water gets into the electronic parts. It's bulletproof, obvi and heatproof.

My Uncle hasn't really said anything, I don't know if it's because he's angry or because he feels bad, but it's more likely his anger at my failure than pity.

'TALON' his rough voice booms from the command room. He obviously hasn't completely forgotten about my existence then. I think to myself, walking into his room.
