WHO Jacob Kane ([personal profile] insertdadjoke), Abel Fletcher ([personal profile] sociopapathic).
WHAT Do not fuck with these brothers. Not even if you want to experiment and find out why one is immortal. Just don't do it.
WHEN Late 2014, several months after Cain and Abel have been working together to down the Death Erasers.
WHERE nfc.

"What do you mean, you don't know how to text?" asked Cain. He glanced over the lid of his laptop to give his brother a dubious look. There was a whole lot Abel had simply never picked up in his time as an Enforcer and Cain was painfully aware of how much personal experience Abel was lacking in his unlife. There was nothing to be done for it except curse the Reapers and move forward from there. Still... "Everyone knows how to text, Abel."

It was a bit egregious when Abel had a thirteen year old daughter (granted that she was adopted) who was quite the typical teenager in some respects and still Abel couldn't do much more than make calls with his phone. That just seemed like willful ignorance on Abel's part. Cain was going to have to fix that. There were worse things he was going to have to help his brother get through; this one would be a piece of cake.

Didn't mean he couldn't rib the hell out of Abel for it, though.

"Do you even know how to get to the text menu? Can you even turn your phone on? My God, does Holly have to charge it for you?" he asked, tone going more and more obnoxious as the questions came. Sometimes he even got a reaction for it. Those were always awesome.

Out of all the people he's killed or seen die, it's Cain's temporary death that truly gets to him, something that finally broke through the wall surrounding the memories of his life. It's a shock and he's quiet for a long moment as the memory hits him like a sack of bricks. He remembered his brother injured, laying on a bed and bandaged heavily while he stayed by his side, checking his time nearly constantly the entire time.

It took a moment for him to snap out of it and hear the operator's words. He frowns slightly and peers out at him. "No. Not while he is unconscious."

"Not long. I stopped singing and he allowed you to heal." This wasn't the time to mention the memory, deciding on telling him later when they weren't stuck here. He was still a little shaken up by Cain's death and the memory that he had drawn from it.

Since the operator allowed Cain to return to consciousness, Abel returned to singing. It was a good distraction for both of them and he didn't seem to mind doing it. And now it seemed that he had returned to the children's songs singing another one for Cain's sake and wanting to see if he knew it like he did the last one.

There was a slight raise of Abel's eyebrow at the operator. All of them seemed to be strange and considering that most Enforcers weren't exactly the most normal people to begin with, it was really saying something if Abel though them to be strange.

He had to hide any sort of amusement at Cain joining in. The songs kept Cain distracted from what was going on inside his body and that was a good thing. The better he distracted Cain now, the better it would be for them to escape because even now Abel knew Cain was in a better position to escape than he was.

He could tell that Cain was starting to hurt. Call it brotherly instinct or just being perceptive, but Abel knew and he was keeping an eye on the operator to see if he was going to notice and do something about it. If not, the singing was going to stop again and Abel was going to make sure his brother was not in pain.

As soon as the operator started to attempt to sing along, Abel changed pace and song to something more frantic and harder to keep up with. He definitely didn't want to hear the operator sing again and was going to do his best to make sure it didn't happen.

Seeing the operator give Cain more painkillers, Abel relaxed slightly. Good, he won't have to worry about his brother being in pain for a while. He kept up singing for his brother's sake, switching the speed once again to soothe his brother into the lack of pain once more.

Once Cain spoke though, Abel immediately stopped singing and glanced up at his brother, silently wondering why he was being an idiot. "That is rude," he said bluntly before switching to Latin. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Ignore him and focus on my voice. The doctor said to behave and we will," Abel answered calmly. He didn't want to upset the operator and leave Cain without painkillers and this was obviously the best way to do it. "Think of his singing as a punishment for you not telling me."

"Everyone's a critic," Abel replied to him as he shrugged. "Don't mind him. If you wish, you can continue singing with me."

"Good." Well, that was one thing taken care of. As long as Cain behaved and he sang, this session should go well from now on. Hopefully, nothing changes and ruins all of the hard work Abel's put into making sure this goes well.

"If that's what you wish, then I will." And he immediately started into that song, singing loud and clear for both Cain and the operator. Thankfully, he enjoys singing it or otherwise this would be somewhat annoying to him.

Over time, anger had turned into disinterest and Abel stayed in the back of his cage now, no longer really reacting to the operators coming in and doing their experiments on Cain. Time ticked by slower than what he was used to, but he kept track where his brother couldn't. It wasn't that long when you looked back at it, but during it, it of course felt like months had passed when they really hadn't and Abel was too angry and bitter to tell Cain how much time had elapsed thus far.

He had started to feel strange not too long after the first visit by La. It had to be the collar causing the strange feelings in his eyes and abdomen that he had never felt before in his unlife. So when Cain finally broke free and started speaking to him, Abel felt out of sorts, but did his best to hide it from his brother and made his way to the front of the cage, peering up and out at Cain while rattling the cage.

"I've been ready for a while, brother," he answered with a hint of relief in his voice. He honestly could not wait to get out of this cage.

Abel waited patiently until Cain opened the door to his cage and then he pounced, immediately moving out of the cage with a fluid movement that brought him up to standing in Cain's personal space. He reached out and grabbed Cain's neck, for a moment appearing as if he was going to choke him, but then he's running a finger along his neck where his time is and carefully counting it.

Once he was content that Cain hadn't lost any time outside of naturally, Abel let go of him and started checking out the medical equipment to see what exactly they could use for weapons. He found an array of cutting instruments and grinned widely. They were going to have to fight their way out, but Abel didn't mind that one bit. He'd have so much fun doing so.

"The drugs they put in you won't slow you down, yes?" He finally glanced back at Cain, studying him carefully. He could deal with Cain if he couldn't handle this if he had his Enforcer powers, but without he didn't know if he could. "Grab anything you think would make a good weapon. We need to do this quick, brother, so that we have the surprise still."

There were plenty of things to choose from when it came to weapons and Abel grabbed whatever he could that would prove to both be useful and not weigh him down when they stormed through the facility. He picked up numerous scalpels for use as throwing weapons and found himself one of the amputation knives.

"Good. That makes this easier." Which means he won't have to worry about Cain lagging behind much. He'd still keep an eye on him, but won't worry about him as much as he would otherwise. "Tell me when you are ready."

"I'll lead. You'll follow. That will be easier." He walked over near the door and waited for Cain to finish removing the blockade from it. If Abel was in the lead, then he could take any damage meant to slow down Cain. Unlike his brother, Abel's body wasn't human and was devoid of most things people had. Such as nerves, which meant a lack of pain.

He had an amputation knife in each hand and spun them around as if he was bored. Abel might not have access to his Enforcer powers, but he was still eager to get loose and murder people. Part of him wished he had his guns, but he could deal with bladed weapons. That just would prolong the suffering and the Death Erasers deserved it after everything.

As soon as they left the room, Abel was in hunter mode. He looked both directions and seemed displeased. What instincts he had weren't much help inside of a building. Tilting his head slightly, he closed his eyes and tried to listen for any noises to indicated people.

"You mentioned security cameras. If that's the case, then there must be a room where they watch. If we find that, it may help us find a way out." He looked to Cain as if to wait for his approval on that idea or that he should figure something else out.

He picked a direction at random and heads down the hall that way, not looking back to check if Cain is following him. Of course he is, why would he even need to check? As he passed other doors, he looked at the plaques on them to see if there was anything useful.

"Check what the doors say for me, brother. Your English is better than mine." He's not afraid to admit that he's still not very good with reading, especially to Cain.
