She was falling...falling through this strange, crackling air. The voices of angry men far away were quickly fading to nothing.

She closed her eyes and waited for something, anything, to happen.

A wry smile twitched at her lips. As far as deaths go, this one was pretty impressive. Jumping into a bottomless cavern of pure energy to escape a corrupt government organization after being beaten to a pulp by a zombie cyborg? Definitely impressive. The stuff of legends.

Still falling. Falling and falling.

Hmmm...maybe this was it. Falling forever. That was a bit disappointing. At least her body hurt less like this. She could get used to this, nothing but blue light and the gentle whoosh of air rushing past. A bit boring after a while, perhaps. There was no excitement in falling forever but maybe it was time for boring.

And then everything exploded.
