A/N: Sorry for the delay, I couldn't think of how I wanted this to go. Even had to rewrite it several times. Also, I've been sick and in the Hospital with a 103 fever. I'm better now, but still under the weather. More chapters should come out soon. ~Hawkin.

I sighed when Nezu found me, knowing that this was about Star & Stripe; I turned around. I hadn't even had my morning coffee yet. As I looked into Nezu's beady eyes, I could see he was tired from a lack of sleep and distress. I knew that whatever he found wasn't good.
.
"How bad is it?" I asked as I sipped my coffee.
"Bad," Nezu sighed, "It appears that the President of the United States, Mr. John Jovey, is sick and the Vice-President, A Jonna Piere, is talking over in his absence. She was the reason that Star & Strip even had the possibility of trying this."
.
From there, Nezu just handed me a tablet full of information. As I scrolled through the tablet, I took notice of how many were being tricked or coerced into giving their go-ahead. As I scrolled, I took notice that most of them were more in it for the money I could give them. Sadly, for them, I was willing to go to war with them to protect my family and friends.
Once we were done with the problem at hand, I told Nezu that AFO was about to make his move soon. Nezu sighed as he looked like he wanted to swear at the bad timing. I just handed him back the tablet and poured him a cup of coffee. As I handed it to him, he thanked me and walked out.
Since he was gone for now, I had things to do and make. Starting with a heavy power armor frame. To those who don't know, there are two types of powered armor. Heavy, where it is needed to have a standalone frame, is needed to support the heavy armor, and a Fusion power core is needed to power the frame. The second is 'Light' powered armor. These don't require a frame or Fusion power core and can be worn with minimal training. The heavy armor needs specialized training.
My goal was to make something far stronger than the heavy version while being as light as the light version. So far, I managed to shrink down the electrical components from the size they were back in the Mojave. However, I was still running into problems with shrinking the size of the armor without sacrificing the protection. So far, I have just managed to make all the electrical components smaller and more powerful. As for the frame, Disaster and I have managed to remake a Saturnite and alloy it with several different materials to create different strength frames. Some were stronger, others lighter, some just exploded when touched with a spark. There was one that was so sharp that when Disaster made a knife out of it, it cut through the floor when he dropped it by accident.
That knife was safely stored away in my [Pip-boy].
As for the other ingots we made, well, let's just say that they are going anywhere anytime soon.
Soon, though, I'll make something that can withstand any Quirk or firearm. However, though, that was still a long way off. Right now, I just have to deal with the frame problem.
...
I sighed as I looked at the most recent Power armor frame that Disaster and I made. A combination of Saturnite, Cobalt, Nickel, and Chromium. The new frame was stronger than pure Saturnite and had better protective properties. However, it was extremely heavy; heavier than a pure steel frame by half a ton more. As for making it into armor, a three-inch cube of this stuff weighs forty pounds.
It's one dense motherfucker.
So, armor of this stuff is out of the question. For a frame, it was too heavy. As for how it would be for a weapon, it wasn't anything to write home about. But that was just me.
I'm too used to weapons of mass destruction.
Anyway, Disaster and I stopped for the day as I stored the frame away in my [Pip-boy]. As we ascended from the basement where our lab was, I got a call from Nezu. And it was the call I was waiting for.
AFO was making his move.
