Any word that Dominika says that begins with 'W' is pronounced as if it is a 'V' due to her thick accent. I won't do this on all of the words, get's confusing as hell, but you can make a mental note that they are pronounced this way.
An explosion rocked the air as a jet soared over the war-ridden land. Piloted by a woman with striking red hair and piercing blue eyes, two other jets formed into a formation with her.
"Shit, how many are ve down Andrei?!" The woman asked as she bit her lip. This was not a good situation.
"Commander, we have lost contact with two fighter jets! More are approaching us as we speak!" Andrei responded, sending the live feed over to her so that she could witness the attack herself.
"Blasted Germans!" She huffed while quickly pressing a button on the holographic dashboard. "Open fire boys, let's show 'em vhat ve truly are!"
The men followed her declaration and fired several missiles at them while their commander ascended further into the sky. A hologram covered her eyes while the glass of the cockpit turned red, revealing the heat signatures of the German pilots.
"Clear the area, boys!" She commanded while slamming both fingers onto a set of buttons. Skillfully, she sent tens upon thousands of bullets on the fighters, each one hitting a jet.
"Commander! One behind you!" Andrei yelled.
Her eyes widened, "Dammit!"
Her plane was hit head on with a missile, damaging the plane to the point of no return, "Vell, men...It's been a pleasure being your superior."
Area- U.S
I still don't know how I survived that day. All I could remember was hitting the ground...then waking up in a hospital. I had suffered burns to my legs and left eye, causing me to be blind in said eye. Other than a few broken ribs, nothing too severe.
I moved to the US when I was told I was not allowed to rejoin the army, it was there that I discovered the avatar program. I have been in the states for seven years, I was the youngest one that was chosen to go at age 26.
Yes, I was fighting a war at age 19, Russian policies are different my friends.
QUICK POV CHANGE
"Dominika!" The amused sound of her lab partner brought her back down to reality as she tilted her head curiously.
The woman was named Amanda, she was a kind soul alright. Dominika's scars and injuries turned most away, all but her blond-haired friend.
Amanda pursed her lips, "Good, I have your attention! Anyway, I can't believe you're gonna be leaving in a few days!"
Dominika blinked in thought before nodding, "Right, you should've signed up as vell!"
Amanda shrugged while allowing a wide smile to settle onto her face, "I was signed up, but my genes didn't mix well with the native's genes, so I really can't!"
"Vell...That's unfortunate, I vas hoping that you vere coming, but I guess the universe vanted you to stay here." Dominika said with a small sigh, eye darting to her scars.
"Hey, you won't even be in this body, you'll be in your avatar. Even if they do see you, they'll quake in fear, you are known around the as the only woman to survive such an attack." Amanda cheered up her slightly as she smiled happily at her.
"You von't be too sad, right?" The russian asked.
"Nopeā¦" She smiled while holding the woman's hand, "I'll be happy that you're finally going after something once more."
Dominika laughed at that and Amanda wrapped her arm around the woman's shoulders, content with the Russian's now happy demeanor.
Amanda hugged the battle-scarred woman as a few tears escaped from her eyes, "Have fun, it'll be a long nap."
Dominika laughed, "Vell, I'll be dreaming a lot. Maybe." She separated from the crying blonde as she did a mock salute.
"You better be safe, daredevil!" Amanda yelled in mock anger.
"Oh, believe me, I vill."
Chapter One
Dominika blinked her eyes and noticed in slight fascination the water particle that floated in front of her, Are we here already?
She was answered with a hissing sound and a scientist greeted her, "Morning, Daredevil."
"Ve here?" She yawned while gazing around the area.
He let out a low, almost inaudible laugh, "Yep, we're here." He unbuckled her and she smirked before floating away.
"She'll be a handful." He said to himself before moving onto the next person.
Dominika smirked and finally landed near the lockers, to her right was a man who appeared to still be waking up, "Get enough sleep? Vere six years from Earth and you look like a zombie."
The man woke up at this and grinned, "Dominika Vitaliya, right?"
"Correct." She laughed lightly while opening her locker.
"Didn't think I'd meet you, and here of all places." He stated while Dominika merely shrugged.
"I vasn't allowed back in, plus I vas 19, I vas already in a little trouble." She explained while the system directed the two towards the ship they would board.
"You on this one as well?" He asked, pointing towards the ship.
"Yes, now ve may continue our conversation." She stated as she observed the man carrying a wheelchair.
"Paralyzed?" She asked, not bothered by the sight.
"Yeah. I was paralyzed in a war, the operation was too expensive so I'm bound to this thing." He answered with a frown.
"You already know mine, but I vas struck down by a blasted german. My eye could not be saved and my legs vere burned, they're pretty ugly." Dominika said with a huff.
"Being blinded at age 19 must've sucked." He muttered while she nodded.
"Russian Hero blinded by the Germans! That vas the headline on just about every newspaper." She buckled herself to the chair as the man did the same.
"Why'd you move to the US of all places?" He looked at her and she paused to think about the question.
"Vell, I wanted to pursue a scientific degree and I vas offered a deal from a university. That is when I vas told about the program, so I waited six years while we made sure the Avatar was working vith my genes. Something tells me you didn't plan to come here." Dominika raised an eyebrow as the aircraft took off towards the planet.
He smiled grimly as he gazed out a small window, "My identical twin was supposed to be here, but he was killed a week before. They told me that I could get a good amount of money if I took his place."
She leaned back as they began to enter the atmosphere, "It's a new world, new beginnings, and vhat not." She mused while tracing the deep scar over her eye.
