Voltus started to calm down when he noticed Karina in his arms, crying softly. He pulled her close and planted a kiss on her head and kept repeating into her ear things along the line of: I'm sorry and it was an accident. "are you ok?" he asked after the few minutes of apologizing.

He heard Karina's soft whisper and memories came flooding back, suddenly he toppled to the floor unconscious.
-in voltus' dream-
The thrumming of zeppelin engines filled Voltus' ears. The cabin was dark, the only light coming from the dim red light above the rear exit, the light suddenly blinked green and the bay door started to open, revealing a stary night. Voltus neared the edge and stood calmly, his hands behind his back.
"Voltus, are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm sure, Mildred," he replied to the woman behind him cooly, he turned around "before I go I need to tell you something."
"What?" she asked softly, taking a few steps towards him.
"if I don't come back, tell my sister I love her." with that he simply leaned back and fell off the edge of the bay door, into the dark night below.
-in real life-
Voltus woke up with a gasp, and started to thrash around, as it was dark and he thought and he didn't know where he was.

"i dont know" he replied as He slipt the shirt over his chest "but I have a few places in mind if you care to hear me." he turned around and took a few steps towards her and held her hand, hoisting her up as if she weighed nothing. He looked down at the dead Rhodri and frowned, 'such a waste' he thought to himself. They stepped out of the room and into the hallway together. It was dim, the the windows only conveying darkness outside, it must have been night, the only light indoors came from candles placed in small alcoves between the large, arched, green window. "let's go get my stuff" he said simply and with a smile "then we'll see what this places has to offer."

He let out a tearful chuckle "no," he said with a sniff "you're perfect as what you are, I wouldn't care if you were a boy or girl or an anything, I love you because you are you." he clutched her closer as if she were loose sheets of paper in the wind, he didn't want to lose her, not like he lost Jarmin. He relaxed his hug and looked back at her and turned red instantly, "ummm, do you mind if I get changed?" he looked away sheepishly, the only thing covering his body was the thin blanket from the operating table.

His hands began to tremble when she said those words and the back of his eyes started to sting with held back tears, "I'd never," he sobbed lightly "I'd never dream of hurting you," he looked deep into her eyes and with conviction "Never.", he wrapped his arms around the comparatively small girl and held her close to him, his heart thumping with a mixture of emotion, from fear to happiness, to anger and confusion. "I think I have a name for you, Karina. My dear little one."

"would you like a name?" he asked tentatively, stroking his hand through her silky white hair, letting it part between his fingers. "because if you do I can give you one." his eyes slipped from her to his arms, where he concentrated on a single line on his arm that was identical to the others. "I can give you one..." he murmured under his breath, feeling his eyes go misty as he looked at the scar for too long. He looked back up and watched as her eyes looked into his.

"Khoroshiy den' moi brat'ya i sestry." Voltus mumbled to himself as he clutched on to the little girl, embracing her in his long, scarred arms. She looked up at him quirkily and asked bluntly "what?"
"it's a long story you wouldn't want to hear" he whispered pulling her away and looking into her eyes, his eyes. "you look just like your mother-" he stopped "ummmm, do you have a name"

Voltus rose from the table and plucked a scalpel from a tray, he dragged it across the inside is his hand and held it infront or Rhodri, it was an R. "you've made my life hell, you've taken everything I love." he told him looking into his eyes "but I can never deny someone their dignity.". Voltus walked towards Rhodri, calmly the scalpel held tight in his fist, he hugged Rhodri and levelled the knife to his heart, "I want you to know that you die in the arms of a friend..." he pushed the sharp blade through the skin if the assassin and lodged it between his ribs, he pulled Rhodri closer as he pushed the knife deeper, all the while, his face compassionate to Rhodri's pain.

Voltus opened his eyes to the cold white light of the operating room, he felt stiff and a sharp pain lanced through his torso. He sat up on the table and held his head in his hands to steady himself from light headedness. "come to finish me off," he whispered to the assassin "because Silence couldn't...". Voltus refused to look at the red haired devil, his eyes instead transfixed on his hands. "so many people have died to these, many I've killed, many I couldn't save," he gave a small gulp "432109, 785380, 684290, 484188, 3345841 and so many more. And I'm tired."

Hours. Hours she had to operate, cutting and stitching, replacing his kidneys, his liver, realigning his spinal columns. 'So much damage' she thought to herself as she worked, Rhodri watching intently. The last stitches were coming together and she put her tools down in a tray of cleaning solution and just looked at Rhodri looking at her. Slowly her hand reached the IV needle in Voltus' hand and yanked it out, 'he'll be awake in 5 minutes' she wrote and passed him the note. She walked out in a hurry, her eyes red from crying and sleepiness.
