The beginning of July, the days start to really heat up in Japan and students can't wait to be on break. But it is also the time heroes try to be on patrol the most. With students that they can influence and villains still committing crimes, it's prime time for a hero to get their name out there.

Tonight, a cloaked figure decided not to get their name known, but rather, to test their latest weapon. This person was Izuku Midoriya and he wanted to start using the last model of his new prosthetic arm that would return his sense of touch to his right arm. He also had built plenty of other gadgets during his many sleepless nights and many of them needed a proper target to test them out on. So, Izuku was going to search for a small group of Yakuza members, the equivalent to gang members in the States and many other places.

Deciding to test out his first piece of gear, Izuku took out oddly shaped gadgets from his utility belt. Holding them out in the palm of his hand, his digital assistant, Pina, activated the gadgets. Suddenly, the gadgets came to life and folded out into small robots shaped like hummingbirds.

"Pina, activate the camera feature." Ordered Izuku as he slipped on a brand new mask, this one with one-way lenses, so people couldn't see his eyes, otherwise, the mask was the same as the previous models. A built-in gas mask and rebreather, but wrapped around his head without covering the top of it, allowing his hair to flow freely.

But as the mask came to life, Pina brought up a video feed from one of the hummingbird bots for Izuku to see. Then the video feed switched between the robots and kept up with each of their movements. After a few minutes of that, Izuku set his mask down on one of the desks of his workshop.

"What shall I record the results as?" Pina asked as the three hummingbird bots flew close together and switched their cameras to their hologram projectors, allowing the robots to materialize Pina's body as a hologram.

"Humming-Bots; the test drive was successful. Note for later: create more Humming-Bots stationed around the workshop to save power on battle-ready bots." He said, turning to his computer while sitting in his rolling chair.

Once he reached the computer, he could see a spreadsheet opened by Pina with all the information he just told her already on it. Closing the spreadsheet, he opened a blueprint for his new arm. The arm was modeled off of the one used by the Winter Soldier, but he had to actually replicate the system in his mass-produced prosthetic arm that allowed the arm to move with muscle movements and the nervous system.

Glancing over the design, Izuku looked at his prosthetic that he hardly had any use for. After all, in the three weeks that have passed, he has grown a bit more accustomed to using his left arm as his dominant arm. But now, he was going to get back his right arm, or as close as he could get to have it back.

Turning back to the desks filled with countless gadgets and parts, Izuku had three models for his new arm. The one on the left focused on making the joint as small and efficient as possible. The second model was nearly identical to the third one that was to the right of both of them. But the only difference between the two was that the second model focused more on the sense of touch instead of movement, and as of last week's tests, it worked a little too good. He could literally feel the vibrations in the air when the sensitivity was boosted to the max.
