Zorlo sat quietly. Five months. He'd been here five months. Were it not for the food and places to DO things, he'd have probably lost his mind. Thoughts of revenge had faded, but he knew that this life couldn't last forever. Soon he'd return home… he guessed, and get back to his favorite pass time of warcrimes and murder. His gun and bayonets sat quietly, along with the half-dozen knives Zachary carried, as the two awaited rescue.
Zachary had been a child soldier in the Chechen War against the Soviet Union… one that had ended in bloody failure. Zachary had bloodlines linking him to the Norwegians, and some of that seemed to be a rage he could harness. After months of experimentation, they'd learn to let him turn this on and off like a switch. His use of knives came from an inability to refine his all too dangerous motor skills with guns like this. Not to mention when paired with some of the world's best body armor, he was nearly impossible to kill without utterly destroying the one useful part of him: his brain.
Zorlo, on the other hand, had been an experiment of unnatural causes. A mix of radiation therapy and gene therapy had awakened some higher level of thinking and movement. Still, it didn't come without cost. He wouldn't live longer than fifty, most likely, and his super human capacity weren't really that super human. Still, he could move fast, strike hard and deal with most people. Along with his metal lined jacket, he hadn't suffered too many grievous wounds.
Thoughts of revenge had faded away as the two had remained. Partially out of laziness, and partially out of the fact it WAS in some small part, their fault. Still, somewhere, the thoughts of battle festered. It was an inescapable feeling… the one that this was a dream and he would return to the real world soon. It was… pretty awful.
