Chapter 10

"What do you want?"

Rei Ayanami was at the door of her flat. In front of her was the Loud, the Shy and that pale boy. Shinji smiled at her.

"I wondered if you wanted to join us, Ayanami. We're going to the public pool."

"I don't see the necessity for me to go."

Then the pale boy talked "Socialise is good for the health, and swimming too."

She felt weird around him and wanted to know why.

"…Wait a minute." And she entered for her things.

Asuka was quite impressed. "Wow Kaworu, How have you done it?"

he grinned more than usual "Personal Charming."

The four were looking for some direction

"Touji's home was over here…eh? Hey, the semaphores are off!"

"What's happening?"

At Nerv' headquarters Ibuki and Ritsuko were trying to solve the problem in the dark because there was no power. Maya was annoyed

"How can be off all the lines?"

She was checking the main system

"We'll have problems with MAGI if this doesn't solve quickly."

Ritsuko had darkest thoughts

"Or if there is an attack."

The boys were still trying to find out Touji's house when a big noise and a little earthquake surprised them. Then Kaworu quit Shinji from the way of a big thin black thing that fell on them.

"Shinji, watch out!"

"What's that?"

Rei didn't change her face. "It seems an arachnid form Angel."

Asuka got annoyed "No, Sherlock! We must get to Nerv now!"

Kaworu looked the big spider full of eyes.

"It's Matarael…"

Asuka turned to him with interest

"Who?"

But Shinji was worried for him

"Kaworu, you won't be able to reach the refuge in time. Come with us!"

That made him to felt terror.

"I-I can't! It's too dangerous for me to go there."

Hyuga was going out from the laundry carrying a lot of cloths.

"Why is Misato so lazy? She should go herself to the laundry…What's that? God! It's an Angel! If energy is out they are not going to be able to detect it! Uhm... I wonder if that car's owner wouldn't mind me taken it…"

As they entered by a manual entrance Kaworu was terrorized.

I can't be here; if father is here it could be a disaster.

Asuka distracted him

"Why are you always giving names to the Angels?"

He looked away forcing a nervous smile. "Why not? Listen, I shouldn't be here, I'll go out and…"

Shinji finished the sentence a bit angry "…Let the Angel kill you? NO!"

Rei agreed "Unless you have an AT field you'll get killed for sure."

Kaworu bitted his tongue.

An old car arrived at Nerv's control (and powerless) room

"Hyuga! Whose is that car? Have you brought my dress?"

"Forget it, Misato! An Angel is already here!"

She frightened and look for her superiors

"God! Commander Ikari!"

"I know. Fuyutski! I'll get the Evas ready. Give the pertinent orders!"

The sub Commander was quite impressed.

"You're going to do it manually? But the pilots aren't here…"

He smiled mysteriously. "They'll be."

Shinji was fed up with walking.

"You're lost, don't you?"

"How can you say that, baka! To the right!"

Rei didn't move. "This is losing time. We can get a shortcut."

Asuka didn't want her to be the protagonist. "Hey! The leader in here it's me! ... Okay Wonder-Girl, Where is it?"

"Through the air tubes."

The Sub Commander was having a little chat with Ritsuko as they supervise the manual operations.

"Dr Akagi, I suppose you have a theory to explain."

"Of course, Sub Commander. This was not a failure. Sabotage!"

"You mean a human being?"

She shrugged. "Throughout history the main enemy of humans is another human."

Then they heard a noise above them.

"What's that noise?"

"The Angel?"

Then an air tube above them broke and four forms fell to the floor. Asuka was kicking Shinji.

"Baka! I told you not to look up!"

"Kids! I'm glad you're here! Eh? Who are you? Shinji, you know civilians are not allowed in here.

"But, Ritsuko, Kaworu wouldn't get in time to the refuge."

She blinked. "Oh… Your name is Kaworu, right?"

"Yes."

Impossible, you're not in our files, who are you?

"Ok you three go and defeat the Angel! You stay here kid!"

Before going Kaworu got close to Shinji. "Shinji, The lowest eye!" He whispered. "That's the weak point."

Ritsuko didn't catch it. "What?"

"It's nothing, Ritsuko. Asuka, Rei, come on!"

Asuka protested "I'm the leader here, Baka! It's me who give the orders, not you!"

Twenty minutes later… the technical assistants were giving the good news.

"The power's back!"

"The angel doesn't move."

"Eva 00 and 01 are fine. 02 needs to be repaired in the back."

Misato saw the relieved face of Kaworu.

He really worries about Shinji, but…

"Shinji!"

He was approaching Kaworu with the hair still wet from the shower

"Kaworu, you were right!"

"Was it difficult?"

He moved his hand in a no problem way. "He has only thrown us corrosive liquid, nothing else."

"That's got sense; Matarael is the Angel of rain. In this case, acid-rain."

"You know a lot. Can you tell me how?"

He got a sad look. "No… Well, not now. I need more time, please."

"Ok." He grinned. "Do you still feel like going to the pool? I'm already wet, anyway."

Kaworu smiled in a cocky way.

"I won't loose the opportunity to see you in a swimwear."

Flushing!
