Chapter – 10
Sitting in the back of the section-2 sedan, Rei couldn't push down the feeling of unease. The commander never called her in for anything small or simple, so the sense of urgency she heard in his voice had to mean something. As she'd come to do more and more often, whenever Shinji was unavailable, Rei turned to her other half for information as she was rocked gently by the cars movement. 'Why do I feel as unsettled?' she thought to Lilith.
You feel this way as you are learning that people do not have others best interests in heart. Lilith responded after moments of thinking. Much was moving on around her, them, and her children had grown to be a very mixed bag. Some where full of beauty and caring while others depraved lunatics. It will tax us, but I will be more active during our encounter with the man. He is not to be taken lightly.
Rei nodded wordlessly to Lilith's comments. She knew now that Gendo had just been using her until this point, and showed no intention of changing. It felt comforting to know she had Lilith to rely on in such cases as she was about to enter. With the immediate problem taken care of, Rei turned to more pressing and permanent matters. 'Lilith, before you mentioned that all humans are bread from you, and that all females would seek Shinji. If that is the case why do so few actually try to take him from me?' While Rei didn't want to lose him, Lilith's earlier comments about the true nature of humanity didn't seem to be actually true. A lie perhaps?
Sensing Rei's underlying suspicion, Lilith felt joy and not anger at her vessels feelings. It was proof that she was learning, growing, and not just being led. Many years have passed, Cherished One, since Lilum were first created. As time moves the drive has died away from my children. However it is there, much like a whisper in the back of their minds. It is not dominate but recessive. It was maddening to Lilith to learn how her children have lost sense of themselves over the ages. The heart and mind of her offspring now appeared lulled to sleep through science and technology. A dying species.
Still unsure of what Lilith was telling her, Rei's brow furrowed making several creases in her forehead. 'I do not follow. What do you mean by recessive?' Looking out the window, Rei recognized familiar landmarks that lay closer to Nerv, a closed bank and a destroyed apartment building. Her time was running out and she still had so many questions.
The drive is unknown if something steps ahead of it, Cherished One. Lilith started to explain. If something, say a crush on anybody, exists in their mind, it will override my desire for Adam. It can only be felt now by those with nothing else. This Misha girl for example, likely she had no feelings for anybody so she felt my calling in her and it pulled to him. Oh how her power had been lost over the ages, being crucified in Terminal Dogma hadn't helped matters much either. But that would change once she merged completely with her physical self. The Lilum would come to remember from whence they came and return to their masters.
Satisfied with an answer she could understand, Rei crossed off that question from her internal scorecard. Never one to rest on her laurels, she was ready with her next inquiry. 'You spoke of how Soryu is the incarnation of Eve so does that mean they communicate as we do?' If Asuka had a source of knowledge as she had that would make for a very powerful enemy. One that might make her have to step forward and claim Shinji's affections all the quicker.
Rei perceived what she identified as Lilith's laugh after her question. Eve is far to weak to ever act as I do, Cherished One. The last wife of Adam would never step out for herself, no she was far too meek. I sense unease in you as I find humor in this, so I will explain and apologize. Eve is much as you were before you sought me out after our initial contact. She let herself be lead by Adam as a child would. Never questioned, never spoke out, and never spoke back. The parallel between Eve and her physical vessels initial state was shocking. And this Soryu is more like myself, dominant and willful. I would not let myself be controlled at first which lead to Adam and my parting. I have learned the errs of my way.
It wasn't a revelation to learn that prior to her contact with Lilith that she was almost a living automaton. Knowing she'd cut the strings of her control was still a great boon to Rei's confidence. But hearing that the real reason that Lilith was able to speak to her at first was due to her lack of willpower had a painful sting. 'So as I was meek you were able to speak and I to listen, but as Soryu is overbearing she will not allow the weak Eve to speak to her?' Rei felt the car slowing; her head bobbed forward due to the momentum, time was about up for quiet introspection. The battle was about to begin.
Exuding calming emissions, Lilith hoped to sooth the fragile flower that was Rei's confidence. Cherished One, you are correct in your opinions of Eve and Soryu. The child will not hear anything she doesn't want to unless she slips in her ways, and even then she will only hear little. You though are no longer what you were. The you before would never have taken the steps to get to where we are. You are better now while she does not change., You will have it all because of your ability to change. Lilith prayed that neither Soryu weakened nor Eve strengthened.
Watching the section-2 agent open her door, Rei exited the car that was parked in Gendo's private parking garage. Security camera's filmed her approach and two armed guards stood by the secret exit to the complex. "He is waiting for me?" she asked the guards. They didn't answer and all she heard was the car door slam in the large open cement parking deck. Sliding her ID card through the reader at the door, ignoring the guns pointed at her head that would end her life if the reader's light turned red and not green, Rei steeled herself for what was to come.

"Sucks Ayanami got called into Nerv," Touji tried to sound sincere but it was a weak attempt. Patting his slightly upset buddy on the back, Touji was glad to finally be hanging out with Shinji again. "But at least you have us," he added with more sincerity.
Happily feeding the token machine his hard earned money, Kensuke hid his grin. "Yeah Shinji, it's been to long since we had you with us. You've been spending almost all your time with Ayanami." Never having a girlfriend before, Kensuke was more than eager to hear tales of Shinji's exploits. It was almost as interesting as the Eva, almost. "She give you a reason though?" he asked while grabbing the released coins.
Taking his turn at the machine, Shinji fed his money in. "Not really. She just sent me an instant message saying my father called her in and didn't tell her why." Why his father would call her in on such short notice and when no tests were scheduled was strange, and didn't ease his worry. What if something is wrong? Hearing the metallic cling, Shinji scooped up his converted funds. "She's going to call me when she gets home, but she doesn't know what that will be."
Grabbing a few tokens from both Shinji and Kensuke, Touji laughed lightly. "Not going to go running to her the moment she calls I hope. We're not going to let her monopolize you man," seeing the annoyed looks on his friends faces Touji's grin didn't lose anything. "I spent all my money on lunch today so you two will be covering for me."
Having heard that many times before, Kensuke just rolled his eyes knowing he'd never see such a payback. "Anyway let's go try that new tank simulator," Kensuke announced and pointed at one of the larger games. He played it before, and from what Shinji told him about the entry plugs, was as close to piloting a mecha as he'd ever get.
Following slowly behind Touji and Kensuke, Shinji looked at the doorway with a sense of foreboding. Why had such a simple thing like a phone call set his nerves on edge? He felt as if a river of ice water was flowing through his veins, and his stomach ached horribly. "It's nothing, just a check up or something. Misato did say he was her guardian."
"You say something Shin-man?" Touji turned hearing Shinji talking but not able to make out the words. He didn't want to get angry with Shinji over the whole Ayanami thing again, but if Shinji was upset that he had to miss one day with Ayanami, Touji would have to put his foot down. "Not thinking about your chick are you?"
While he didn't have the greatest sense of social situations, Shinji knew enough to lie. "No, just hoping Asuka gets home alright. She's been acting weird the last few days." Sliding into the mock tank, Shinji proceeded to show his friends just what his training had done to him by soundly trouncing them in the game.
Once the tokens were spent, Shinji only losing one round because Touji covered his eyes to give Kensuke the advantage, the trio headed back into the shopping arcade to search for the elusive burger joint. Finding a decent place, they made their order, Touji again relying on the courtesy of others, and found a booth to sit. They talked of video games, television shows, school, and all the things teenagers find important but stop caring about once they get older. Finally once they had him relaxed, Touji nudged Kensuke in the ribs and nodded. It was time to get down to the brass tacks of the Ikari/Ayanami relationship.
"So you've been dating Ayanami for how long now?" Touji asked opting to start out slow. They didn't want to get Shinji defensive and shell up all the juicy details. Sipping his soda after he asked, he hoped the hype was worth it.
Shinji would have been lying if he said he didn't expect Rei to come up eventually in the conversation. He could tell they were skirting around her existence the whole afternoon, afraid that if they mentioned her Shinji's phone would ring and that would be the end of their get-together. Setting his burger down he said, "It's been over five months since we started seeing each other."
Giving his head a few necessary bobs, Kensuke finished chewing before opening his mouth. "Wow five months, so how are things going for you then? Good, bad, not thinking of cheating on her with Red are you?" Kensuke added the last part to get a laugh out of Shinji, hopefully. Though he's earlier lusting after Asuka was gone, he still didn't write her off completely. Guess I have a thing for strong women.
Chuckling with a little unease, Shinji hoped what Kensuke said had been in jest. "Things are going great, especially after she was moved out of that hovel of an apartment she used to live in." A cold chill always worked it's way down Shinji's spine thinking about all the bad things that could have happened to Rei in that old building. "And as for cheating on her with Asuka, I don't know where you'd get such an idea." Asuka was a friend, sure she did kiss him, but it was all due to the odd confinement they had been in.
Touji didn't buy it, not fully anyway. Asuka was just too soft on Shinji for something not to be there, and he was going to try digging a little deeper. "You sure about that Shin-man, you look a little red in the face." Touji said noticing the slight blush on Shinji's cheeks. "You and here haven't been playing a little tonsil hockey were ya?"
Coughing hard as his drink went down the wrong pipe, shocked at Touji's near hitting things on the head. After he regained his composure and ability to draw in and exhale air, Shinji stole his gaze away from his friends. "I didn't mean to…and I already told Rei-san about it."
Slapping the table jovially, Kensuke let out a raucous laugh, "Shinji the player! You have to go into details about this one or we'll never let you live it down." Crumbling up his burger wrapper, Kensuke was surprised he didn't feel any animosity about Shinji's admission. With how upset he looks over it I doubt it was well received or that he wants another so who cares. Not like he slept with her.
Relating the situation to the two boys, starting from when after they had left the apartment up until after the kiss and ending with his confession to Rei about it, Shinji could tell they were disappointed. "What did you expect guys? I'm with Rei and I don't plan on leaving her. Asuka's a great friend but it was all a misunderstanding."
No it wasn't, not in the slightest, and Touji didn't know why Shinji believed such an obvious lie. Almost as if he doesn't want to accept that Red might like him. Tucking that tidbit of information away for later, Touji would have a chat with Asuka later, nobody would hurt his friends if he could do something about it. "Back to the important stuff," Touji started to get back Shinji's attention. "You said you've been dating for over five months so tell us. How far have you REALLY gotten."
Noticing Touji giving him the sign to back him up, Kensuke chimed in. "We don't buy all that 'we just hold hands' stuff. Spending so much time at her apartment alone, just the two of you, with no parents or adults around, so how can you expect us to believe NOTHING is happening?" Rei was a beauty that wasn't a doubt, and with how she all but clung to Shinji in public, neither boy believed Shinji's accounting of events.
Hand clenching tighter and tighter, Shinji was growing tired of this line of conversation. They hinted at not believing him before, but never boldly came out and questioned him. So what if he didn't want to make love to Rei until he was ready, that he had trust issues thanks to his upbringing that made making that last big step hard, and he knew Rei was ready and waiting for him to be. "Guys it's just how it is ok. I know you don't like hearing me say it but we haven't done anything besides kiss." He tried to keep the anger away but it seeped in. "Sex isn't that big a deal anyway."
Kensuke and Touji's face's paled and eyes wide as if Shinji just announced he was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. Kensuke reached across the table and grabbed Shinji's shoulder. "Not a big deal? Dude it's what we're on this planet to do! Perpetuate the species man! And of the three of us you're the closest to it! So tell the truth, why she acts all clinging in public then spurn you at her apartment." Turning to Touji, Kensuke jerked his head in Shinji's direction. "Can you believe this, and here we thought Ayanami was all into it, guess we were wrong."
He'd had enough of this treatment. He could stand them making fun of him about it, but he wouldn't let them smear Rei's name because of his ineptness. Sliding out of the booth Shinji turned back to his friends. "I'm going home guys, thanks for hanging out with me. And for you information Kensuke, I'm the one that is telling her they're not ready. Rei has been so patient with me and supportive so I won't sit here and let you say these things about her. Not after all she's done for me."
"I uh…wait!" Kensuke called out to Shinji who was already walking away. He'd overstepped himself thinking that Rei had been acting the tease. His knowledge of Rei should have been more than enough to tell him the girl wasn't that devious in the social ways, but a boy not wanting sex that was offered sounded more farfetched. "I'm sorry Shinji, I didn't mean to upset you."
Rushing after Shinji and Kensuke, Touji too was upset with his own actions. "Yeah we didn't mean to piss you off. We're just…you know jealous I guess." He admitted it finally, for Kensuke and himself. They were jealous of how Rei and Shinji were together, of the closeness they had, and wanted to experience it even if it was second hand. "We just got so anxious to hear about adult stuff and we pushed to hard."
His forward momentum stalled, as he heard their apologies and reasons. Taking deep breaths, Shinji calmed himself. "Apology accepted, just don't talk bad about Rei alright?" She was his closest person, and his friends would have to accept it. Finding relieved faces, Shinji turned back towards the door, "So where next?"

As the boys had a get together so were the girls. Asuka accompanied by Hikari and the newest addition to her click Misha were headed to sing a little karaoke. When she first heard about the concept, Asuka laughed herself into a fit. But after many attempts by Hikari to get the German to partake in the fun, Asuka relented and walked into the booth where she promptly fell in love with it. Something about singing her heart out really felt wonderful. Now with her mind being besieged with thoughts of Shinji and herself, she needed relief more than ever.
"I didn't know you like coming to places like this Misha," Hikari asked the new comer. While Hikari knew of Misha's sorted history and heard much gossip about her she never really talked to the girl until she was brought into Asuka's inner circle. I can see why the guys are all crazy for her though, Hikari thought as pangs of jealousy rippled through her body as she caught several guys checking out the women next to her. Misha's body was big in all the places Hikari wanted and slim in those places where Hikari had fat.
Never noticing the stares the guys leaving the club were giving her, Misha shrugged. "I'm not really fond of these places but I was bored so I thought we could all hang out." Misha wanted information about her budding crush. The more he slipped though her fingers the more she wanted him. And since Asuka lived with him and claimed not to be romantically inclined with him, she could provide an ample source of information. And she's so stuck up she won't even know she's helping me.
Paying for two-hours of singing, Asuka got their room number and led the trio into the enclosed space. Tossing her school bag on the provided table and grabbing the song book, Asuka sat in the couch while Misha took a chair and Hikari sat next to her. The booth was comfortable with its tan carpet and leather upholstery. The television was a flat panel 52 inch and the sound system start of the art. Asuka got a chill just anticipating it. "You two mind if I go first?" Asuka asked not waiting for a reply before ordering her first song.
Letting Asuka start her song, Misha turned to Hikari, "So what's got her all antsy lately, problems at home?" Nice and easy with the questions, careful not to let the cat out of the bag. Ask around the issue and gleam the truth that way.
Her tone hushed to not annoy Asuka, and to better hear the German's talented voice, Hikari answered. "I don't know, lately she's not been talking about her home life to much." Asuka could talk her ear off but she wouldn't actually 'say' anything. "Things have to be rough though being a pilot and all."
"Could their be tension between her and Ikari-kun, a fight maybe?" Misha slid in an annoyed tone when stating Shinji's name. If she showed favoritism to him they might catch on. "I mean they're working together and everything but living together is something else."
Shinji was a part of Asuka's attitude shift, Hikari knew that for sure. But what Hikari didn't know was if it was a good thing or not going on between the pilots. Ikari is with Ayanami but Asuka doesn't seem to care. Speaking more to herself than Misha, "It's likely something to do with Ikari-kun, but I don't know what really." A fight sounded wrong, Asuka was too happy when talking about Shinji. "I think she's confused about her feelings. She knows he's with Ayanami and all but she's not accepting it or something."
That was a fly in the ointment. Asuka was so loud in her declarations of not liking any of the boys in the class, so if she did have a thing for Shinji she'd have a leg up on the other girls. "You think she likes him?" Misha hoped she liked the answer.
"With Asuka you can never tell. I know for a fact she treats him better than the other boys but as to why," Hikari shrugged. As Asuka's song ended Hikari gave the German applause. "Asuka I think we have to put you on one of those idol shows, you have such a great voice."
Rubbing her finger under her nose, Asuka puffed out her chest in pride, "I did nail that one didn't I." Sticking the mic out, "So who is next?" holding the receiver more to Hikari, Asuka wasn't let down when the pigtailed girl grabbed it. Taking Hikari's seat next to Misha she let out a deep breath, "Man it feels good to sing like that."
Waiting until Hikari's song started, Misha planned out exactly how to goad Asuka's ego and direct her questions. The prideful German had to be catered to with special care, Hikari was just acting as a friend, but Asuka was different. If what Hikari said was true then Asuka would be easier to set off into defense mode, she'd close off and not say anything worth hearing. Finally Hikari got into the song and Misha struck. "So Hikari said you're having some troubles at home with you're roommates. Want to talk about it?"
Fanning herself with one of the bars pamphlets, Asuka was still panting from her excretion. "It's nothing that bad, just that idiot Shinji making a mess of things a lot." Asuka never took her eyes away from the screen, reading the words and singing along in her mind. "He even makes mistakes when he makes my lunches."
"Does he volunteer to do that?" Misha asked a little stunned to hear it. A boy making lunches wasn't that strange, but making a lunch for a girl everyday had to mean something. Maybe Ayanami wasn't all that much a worry after all, this one seems to be the real threat.
Reaching for a water bottle, eyes transfixed on the music video and scrolling text, Asuka was off guard. "He makes them for me and that doll of his. He says he likes cooking if you can believe that." Taking a swig from her bottle, a dribble trailing down her cheek only to be wiped off, she set it back down. "Bet he's just trying to keep me on his good side so when his play date with the doll ends he can go for me," rubbing her arms together, Asuka hoped she was right. It was an enticing thought, even if she hated admitting she wanted it.
Drumming her fingers over the song album as Hikari hit several sour notes, the class rep wasn't nearly as talented as Asuka was, Misha smirked mentally. Asuka was so easy to read if one knew where to look. She had a tell, and Misha found it. Whenever she lies or exaggerates she rubs her left forearm! Misha first expected Asuka's tell during lunch and now it was confirmed. "So what makes you think it's a fake, they seem happy enough together," she made sure to make it sound offhanded, that she really didn't care.
"Because of who she is," Asuka said as if it were painfully obvious. "Girl has no sense of taste or common sense. Swear she'd jump off a bridge if ordered." Problem was that Rei had abilities, she was skilled and well trained, and wasn't something Asuka could brush off or take lightly. "Bet they started dating because he felt sorry for her and that type of relationship will never last."
Noting how Asuka's eyes hardened and her hands formed solid fists, Misha pulled back her questions. She gathered a few good tidbits and learned of a potential threat, but nothing she couldn't handle. Taking the mic after Hikari sat down with a barely passing score, Misha selected a nice cheesy love song. Asuka and Hikari's jaws dropped after not only hearing the racy lyrics but just how well Misha sang. A voice of an angel and a body to boot.
All Misha thought as she sang was about how the booths were sound proof. Why one could scream bloody murder in them and nobody would hear, not a word. Handing the mic back to Asuka to start her second song, Misha licked her lips as she sat back down. Oh yes…I think my dear Ikari-chan and I need to come here together one day and see just how much noise he can coax out of my lungs.

Walking into the cavernous office of the commander was something Rei was learning to dread. Now that she knew the man considered her expendable and easy to replace she couldn't look at him the same way any longer. "Commander you requested my attendance?" she asked in the standard military tone she was expected to have.
From behind his glasses, Gendo gave Rei a good once over. Her legs were obscured by his desk as she was standing close, but he knew what to expect having known to previous genetic model. "I have come to ask how progress in cuckolding the Third Child is progressing." She did say she'd have sex with the boy if he wanted it so he had hope she was somewhat skilled. Yui was a demon in bed if memory serves.
As Rei thought of how to answer the man, Lilith listened to his thoughts. Sure it was taxing on the two of them but Gendo had to be treated as a wild and intelligent predator. "The situation between Ikari-kun and myself is progressing smoothly. He has presented me with no problems." She couldn't show any loyalty other than to him, Gendo wouldn't abide any disloyalty. Even though it hurt herself to lie about her feelings it was better than fighting the commander if not needed.
Hiding his face behind his gloved hands his mouth was going dry. "Has he insisted in intercourse yet?" Asked as if he were talking about the weather. Never let your intentions be known or people changed their responses. I could just order her to do it and see the results. Live or die make your choice puppet.
"Ikari-kun is more reserved with physical intimacy. We have not progressed further than hand holding and what the girls in school call petting," Rei told truthfully. The best lie is sandwiched between two truths. And such a strange word for the pleasurably touches they shared, petting. It was almost as if the word belied the truth of humans natural animal instinct.
He could feel his body stiffening at the sound, it wasn't much but it wasn't nothing. Playing with people and exerting his will was almost as enticing as sex for Gendo. "Show me," he said in his calmest yet commanding tones. Power was always a great aphrodisiac. Pushing his chair away from the desk he waved her prone body to come over. "Pilot Ayanami I gave you an order, show me what the Third Child does to you so I can be sure he doesn't harm you."
Do I listen to him Lilith? What is he thinking? Rei fired off to her constant companion quickly as she started walking around the onyx desk. Her body was moving on pins and needles as her belly burned with fear. "I am unsure what you are asking me Sir, how can I show you what he does?" She hoped he wasn't ordering her to let him touch her as Shinji did. To let him kiss her as Shinji kissed her. She would never want such.
But that is exactly what he wants from you, Cherished One, that and more. I warned you that he might lust and he does. He lusts after the image of his wife he sees in you. Lilith's mental words were laced with hate and venom. A pig of a man was ordering her vessel to degrade itself for his pleasure, trying to wrap her around his fingers. Give me some time to gather our remaining strength for I believe it is time we show him who is really in control here. This man was going to learn that not only has his scenario changed, but his whole world.
Once Rei cleared his desk, Gendo's hand snaked out and grabbed hers and he pulled her to his chair, to his lap where he made her sit. "He holds you like this doesn't he?" he again asked as if he were saying it was going to rain on Saturday but only in the morning so don't go canceling that fishing trip. "Does he touch you here?" Gendo's hand cupped Rei's left breast and watched her face for signs of reluctance or resistance.
The fear in her body was replaced with anger, liquid hot rage flooded through her body as this man she cherished in her youth was planning on violating her. As his hand started to make small circles, still groping her flesh through the fabric, Rei didn't feel the electric pulse she did whenever she got Shinji riled up enough. "Sir I request you desist your actions."
"Do you?" he asked and actually smiled at the bitch he spawned. Well a little pain might change that tongue. Squeezing the flesh in his hands hard, Gendo was rewarded with a whimper of pain. "I think you have forgotten your place First Child." Strip away everything she has to reveal his pawn. "You've been made to follow orders, my orders. So if I want to touch you I will as you have no right to say no." Standing up quickly sending Rei to the ground, Gendo slapped her hard across the face with the back of his hand. Her usefulness was at an end, he'd take what he wanted and use the corpse to fuse a new Adam.
Holding her throbbing cheek, Rei looked up at the man who had hit her. Lilith…I'm afraid. Rei hadn't expected the shift to occur so fast. All she did was request what all people have the right to request and he hurt her for it. "Sir I simply said that to…"
SLAP whimper.
Gendo's hand hurt from that love tap, much as he enjoyed hurting Ritsuko as well during his copulation with her. The blood Rei spit out was another great turn on. "You say nothing that contradicts is that understood? You were given life to perform a role, a role that I'm sorry to say might have to go to another if you continue to refuse me. Now stand." Gendo ordered and stood back. He watched the puppet stand and he smiled. "Now strip," he continued to smile as he watched the trembling creature drop its clothing. He didn't see a teenager with blue hair, he saw a full grown woman with brown, he saw his wife.
Then he saw the whites of Rei's eyes turn black. Black and red eyes bore down on him as her nude body began to float. "Vile filth!" Rei's voice echoed in Gendo's mind and ears. "You created nothing you can comprehend and try to corrupt innocence?"
Stumbling backward, Gendo reached for his gun. Whatever just happened he hadn't anticipated it and the sound in his head was growing louder and louder. He felt something wet trailing down his face, his nose was spouting blood as Lilith's psychic assault continued. "What the fuck is this?" he said freeing his gun and pointing at the glorious angel of death before him.
"This is called punishment. You seem to like rewarding others with it so I will see how you like mine," Rei said. The twin deity was of one mind on this Rei and Lilith worked in full unison. Time seemed to slow as she saw the gun fire and the bullets fly at her. It was an easy task to stop them and send all three shots back at the man that fired with a simple wave of her hand. One bullet lanced his right leg and the other two his respective arms. "Such toys aren't meant for the likes of you."
His limbs ignited his horrific pain. They felt gone, replaced with bloody stumps but he could see them still there. "Don't…don't kill me." Gendo wasn't above begging and the fact that he had planned on raping and killing Rei was lost on him.
"On no I never intended to. There is no fun with a corpse, the fun comes from hurting," Rei announced as she liberated Gendo of his right and left hands but blood didn't flow from the wounds, they were cauterized from the heat used to cut them off. "You will be begging for death before I am finished with you."
And he did, over and over again over the course of the next three hours, Rei tortured the man that held her life over his head. And when she was finished with him, as he lay broken, bloody, and praying for death, she healed his body completely leaving no mark of what she had done. Since he passed out from the pain and shock, it wasn't hard to stage the room to reflect all that happened was a dream. A very vivid and painful dream. A bottle of scotch was set next to the desk with nothing left in it. He'd think it never happened, but deep down in his subconscious he'd know.
He'd know to fear Rei, he'd learn not to treat her as he had planned to, and to insure it Rei focused all her powers on his mind and implanted such memories and a basic urge to insure her continued life and prosperity under threat of repeating the days events…for years upon years.
Once the task was done, Rei reached for her cellphone and called Shinji. It was well into the night and Shinji had long since been home, worrying about her, when he answered the call. They talked for a good hour and ended with Rei saying, "How about we go on a real date tomorrow Shin-chan?"
He happily accepted.

Sorry but I had to do it…Punishing Gendo is always fun. Hope you didn't mind the wait to much.
