Universal Procurement Subsystem (UPS)
Magic and technology are known paths toward advancement and throughout the multiverse progress occurs at every moment.
Some advancements are shared with the public while some are buried or lost. With this subsystem you can trade for blueprints or equipment throughout the multiverse.]
[Please select which items you wish to trade...]
"Well this is a nice surprise"
Having just returned to the DC universe I didn't expect to gain a new function so the introduction of a subsystem was a surprise, but an extremely helpful one.
[Potential trades for the blueprint of jet boots
= Power-Enhancing Kicking Shoes *(Detective Conan)
=blue print for jetpack
=Stilt-man's villain suit (Marvel Comics)]
...
Stilt-man?
I have never heard such a... weird name before. After clicking the option, the subsystem provided some information on who he is and what to expect from the suit.
[Stilt-Man, a.k.a. Wilbur Day, is a Marvel universe supervillain, known for his armored suit with powerful, extendable telescopic legs.
This suit allows him to tower over enemies, with a max height of 250 feet/76.2 meters, and enhances one's strength.]
[ Will you trade for Stilt-man's villain suit? >YES >NO]
[NO]
While the suit sounds... unique...
I already have my striker unit and grapple hook. There is no need for extendable legs when I have other ways to reach high places.
Still...
It is nice to known that it will provide me with several options.
Using the technology of the jet boots and my striker unit I should be able to produce my own design incorporating the best of both items.
The gloves are the perfect non-lethal option. Able to immobilize and throw both objects and individuals. Fortunately I brought the blueprints with me, so if they are ever damaged I could replace them. I can even trade the pair I have currently.
Of course I can not just trade a pair of boots and gloves and expect a jet-plane, the subsystem has limitations on what can be offered. But it also provides a method to loosen those restrictions, by offering up multiple items.
Therefore a combo or package of items can increase the rarity of the trade.
So what I need is an item that can cause a bit of damage. While the Accuracy International AX50 works I don't plan to be some ordinary mercenary or assassin.
It has to be something I can't just pick up from a random gun dealer, I'm talking about military grade. But it also can't be something that screams 'shoot me first' or is too big to carry around.
It has to be a weapon that works as a wild card. Making my selection I decided to check out each of the options provided for me, going over all the descriptions before making my decision.
[ Potential trades for the Accuracy International AX50 + zero-point energy gloves
= EM-1 Railgun (Eraser)
= Lawgiver (Dredd 3D)
=Ray gun MK1 (Call of Duty)
= !SPECIAL! Mami Tomoe's magic ability (Puella Magi Madoka Magica)
= !SPECIAL! Pumpkin (Akame Ga Kill!)]
And what a decision it will be...

Hello everyone!
Thank you for adding my story to your collections. I know it has been a while since I have written for this story, but I am proud to say I intend to pick it back up. This does not mean my Santa story is done. I plan to write another six to eight chapters for my Santa story before hitting pause. The * within the chapter is for information that is for the readers benefit. Carmen does not see it, she does not know where these items originate from. The items I list for trade are from movies, tv shows, video games, and anime I personally have seen. I know that there are some wicked weapons and equipment I have missed and I encourage everyone to join my discord to discuss about them. Who knows I might just watch a recommendation.
Again thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the story
