Everything went wrong.
She followed her target to the roof and finished him, but lost track of the rest of her team. Static came in over the earpiece. What the Hell had happened? An explosion shook the rooftop and she was falling at a speed that made her stomach leap into her throat. The city lights bled to indistinct smears. She closed her eyes against the sting of the wind rushing up at her.
She felt in her pocket for the PINpoint. She had not planned on going back to the Nexus, but kept the device anyway. She pressed the large, round button on the center of the device.
She was still falling, but not from quite so far up. The inconveniently placed Nexus coffee table shattered under weight. Her long mission coat protected her from most of the splinters. She swore vigorously. One hand reached behind her to swipe the back of her head and came back bloody. Head wounds often bled a lot whether they were serious or not.
"How bad does it look?"
[Edit: Thanks to cache_of_spark, Asuka's injuries have been treated and she has a new question.]
"What do you think of the statement, 'Anything that does not kill you makes you stronger.'?"
