Description Frustration welled up in Tenten. Pointing an accusing finger at the two men, she ranted, "Are you telling me that you gave me a normal hand that doesn't even do ANYTHING that I couldn't already…"

In mid-sentence, her pointing finger split apart. It slid back down across her wrist, followed by fragments of her rapidly-breaking hand as they folded away to reveal a glowing hole in the mouth of her arm.

Cyborg ducked just in time as a stream of laser bursts shot past him to crash into the opposite wall.

There was a momentary silence as some loose machinery in the workshop crashed to the floor.

"It is fortunate," observed Fixit, "that all my weapons are designed to avoid me."

"As I was about to say, there's no sonic cannon in there, but there IS a rapid-fire pinpoint laser assembly." Cyborg replied dryly, standing back up again. "You can alter them to fire all at once so you get a large blast, but then you need to let it cool down."

"There's also a spot for explosive darts," added Fixit helpfully.

Tenten gazed in shock at her dissembled arm. "Whoah…"

So. On the off chance that there is someone out there dying with curiosity as to why there has been no chapter this week, the explanation is simple. The next chapter, "Cooperation," stunk in its original release. So I re-wrote it for deviantart. Unfortunately, this threw off my faithful translator, PhransiscusMagnus, who had to re-translate the whole thing. Because he didn't have it done yet, we decided to take a week off to get things straightened around. So as apology, here's a bonus scene... Tenten and her mechanical arm.

I'm actually slightly disappointed in this one. Her arm was a lot more complex in my head than it ended up being on paper.

I guess I imagined her arm looking more like it has metal plating on it than it does here. But at least you tried.

BTW, new picture of mine is up.

In my head, her arm looked a lot more sleek and had several moving parts that detacted from the main portion. Maybe I'll draw it some time in the future when I'm more talented.

Well, I'm sure that with enough practice, you'll get it right.
