The Ruins of Anger (1)
This is how the man called Lizard sees the battle.
The world is mapped in a network of lines. Friendly units become outlined in green. Threats are highlighted LED red, weapons blaze yellow.
Right now, he sees a lot of red and yellow. No green.
His processors overclock. Time slows as his sensors speed up. Bullets crawl through the air, trajectory and velocity projected behind his eyes.
His weapon fires, targeting weakness with lethal precision. Enhanced reflexes dance him through bullet riddled air with frightening ease.
Suddenly there’s a lot less red to deal with.
So he deals with it.

Thanks DM, hopefully not too much like the terminator.
