Post Battle Assessment
"Good luck, Asuka." Kaji muttered knowing that she could not actually hear his words. The battle between Asuka and the Angel was about to begin and mankind itself is the defended. Many of the security protocols have already been activated and the city quickly abandoned for shelters from the soon to be devastated wasteland.
As the battle begun Kaji watched as the Eva did as commanded and her pilot listening to the S.O.P. and the faulty guidelines for dealing with the threat as learnt from the Eva Unit One in the battle against the Angel in Tokyo Three. Still he was nothing but s spectator now. If he spoke out they would have him removed from the command deck and he would lose the safe view of the battle raging.
However this is not Tokyo Three? Kaji pondered to himself and the Angels have been wanting to get into Tokyo Three for some reason, some secret they want either uncovered or returned. Still he pondered why here? Could it be with something he is suppose to receive in a few days and transport to Ikari in Japan?
He snapped back to the situation with Asuka screaming from the attacked that removed the arm from the Eva. The sensory output of the Evangelion to the pilot being the curse and the blessing the unit grants the pilot and at this moment he knew from the studies Asuka was physically alright but the sensory output to her brain was as if she lost her arm.
He had to have faith in Asuka's abilities to overcome. He has seen her stumble and fall and get right back up showing the world how strong she really was. Then her outburst a few moments later followed by the bright light when the explosion rocked the area signifying the death of the Angel or at least what the experts are now calling it.
When the door unlocked on the command deck Kaji took his leave giving a small salute to the commander before he stepping out. Shaking his head Kaji made his way to the Medical Facility waiting room. He wanted to be there to support Asuka after he ordeal with the Angel. The trauma of feeling likes one's arm has been destroyed even though it was still there. Fighting in the Eva is more mental trauma then physical.
The wait took a while since the doctors had to scan, prod and poke Asuka after every battle and every test of the Evangelion. Reading the file on Asuka he gave a nod to the doctor noticing the scheduled meeting and gave a nod. Giving Asuka a smile as she come at him with the sounds of triumph escaping her in every word.
"It was a hard fought victory Asuka, you did very well. Let us get you something to eat. You will need your strength." Kaji was worried about Asuka but he could not show it or she would start to question him. He wanted her to keep her proud outlook even though the doctor wants her checked for mental illness due to the Evangelion Project. He knows of her horrible past and her pursuit to be the best in the world.
Placing an arm around her waist he pulled Asuka close to give her a hug as with his free hand he gave the doctor a wave to signify him taking Asuka away. This is the reason he wants her to know this world she is fighting to save. She fights the will of god...She fights to prevent the world from falling into silence.
"Are you sure you are feeling well?" Kaji questioned as he lead Asuka out to his car. He was going to take her out once more for some dinner, she deserved so much more for what she did. He was ready to listen since they where now alone once more. He wants to be someone she can openly speak to about all of this. He wanted to know it was alright for her to be herself with him.
Asuka was glad the way that Kaji was treating her, he wasn't being overly worried and had clearly trusted her to win. That made her smile, knowing she did well and getting praised for it. She had already been told off for disobeying orders but then being congratulated on the kill.
The hug was nice, being close to Kaji always made Asuka feel nice inside, warm and safe. Her left arm, the one that had been mentally vaporised slowly moved and pressed against his side. The brain was still realising that she had an arm there. She tried to grip his side with it but failed to do so, her fingers unmoving.
"I would love some dinner, I am starving" she explained, looking to the doctors who were nodding, Kaji had a high clearance level to take care of Asuka so even if they wanted to keep her in for longer, he could still take her.
"I feel a little sick, my left arm feels numb and I, well, can't grip with it. I... I have been hurt in the EVA before but, that... it was different" she went quiet. 'it was different because she could have died'.
Showering to get all the LCL out of her hair, she struggled with the soap in her left hand and she asked Kaji to help her dress and dry herself, as her left arm hung limp by her side and she had to force it to even lift it up. It would be some time before that hand ever reacted normally again. With her left arm in a white medical sling, she had dressed in to one of the dresses she kept on base to change in to when she was finished with missions.
The city was still being filled again by the people, there was smoke in the distance as fire crews cleaned up the crater now in the outskirts of Berlin's city core. Nothing serious had been hit, only offices and skyscrapers, at least three blocks square damage.
Had people died because of her fear? Had people died because she had been too scared to fight it face to face and had fled several times.
There was a loud bang and Asuka jumped almost a foot in the air, letting out a frightened yelping scream, she gripped on to Kaji's shoulder. Someone had slammed their car door a little too hard when getting their shopping out and it had frightened Asuka so much she was almost whimpering, face pressed against his arm.
"Kaji... I... I'm sorry" she whispered. She did not look down but had felt it going down her leg, people around them gave the pair a wide berth as the pool of urine seeped around her. Asuka had pissed herself in fright.
Something was defiantly wrong with her after that fight.
