Exhaustion [Open]

[redheadcarrier.livejournal.com]

The first thing that Asuka had done was open a comm post to see how long it had been. Then she'd learned she'd been gone for months. Precious, valuable months spent running mazes (she couldn't exactly remember it all - it was a blur, like a dream). She was probably left behind by now! So, the third thing she'd done was gone straight to the Sensoriums and started flying. She'd done combat scenarios, cold starts, everything that she'd learned before, she'd done over and over again, trying to improve her reaction times, trying to master the controls.

There was no way in Hell she was going to be the worst pilot in the squadron. She was going to be the best. Which was why she'd just gone for a day or so without sleep and was more then a little bit exhausted.

And still flying a simulated X-Wing.

You couldn't fault her dedication.

Asuka laughed and jerked her thumb at the (previously empty) space behind her. It was now filled with a forty-meter tall war machine. Had to love the Sensoriums. "That is my Eva. Forty meters of armored plate and weaponry! Not to mention my AT field!"

She turned on her heel to peer up at it, a small (tired) grin on her face. Even if she was flying an X-Wing, her first love would always be her Eva.

Sho takes a step back as he looks up at the towering red behemoth. The helmet hid his expression, but his body language said it all. Sho's shoulders droop and he just stands there, dumbstruck.

"...Okay, my mega smasher might have some trouble with that. There's definitely no zoanoid that big. Do Angels get that big?"

Asuka turned back toward Sho with a broad, rather malicious grin on her face. Once again her superiority had been demonstrate.d She was still on top!

"Oh, bigger. And I had to fight them."

So casual, Asuka.

"I see. Cool." Not that Sho was competing or anything. He retracts the Guyver armor and it disappears into the boost dimension. Sho turns to Asuka and smiles warmly.

"Well, at least neither of us have to fight any zoanoids or angels now. Just universe destroying aliens." He says sarcastically. "It was nice meeting you, Asuka-san. Don't work yourself too hard." Sho turns to head for the exit, but looks back one more time.

"And, hey, thanks."
