Never (Jet) Alone
The night air was crisp the perpetual hot that the world was now used always seemed to cool off quickly at night. But remained at a steady 70 or so degree's. Currently at this moment in Tokyo-3. There was someone who could pass for a well cut business man. He carried a suit case wearing an expensive one piece suit. He was on his way to his job and there where going to be no obstacles tonight. He had a plan and he was determined to succeed in it regardless of the out come.
He stopped in mid step pulled his sleeve up to look at his watch. He could do this it was simple he took a deep breath to calm himself. "Hello I'm...um. No that's not good alright. Good day Sir I my name is...um well no let him introduce him self first then my self."The man started as he twiddled his fingers in thought. He looked at his watch again as he breathed out.
"I have half an hour left before the bus arrives and I go to see him breath in breath out." The man said he was nervous. He had to meet with an important client and he couldn't be late. It was nerve racking. It was two week's after the massive power outage through out Japan along with the last angel attack. He had missed an important Client to his business and he couldn't let this one slide by. He would fall to the bottom of the financial pit never to be saved.
There was then a loud clanging noise behind him near the ally way next to him. He was a little curious about the noise, what could it hurt to take a quick peak. He walked slowly towards the alleyway. He looked in to the alleyway, it was dark as though there was no light and never would be again.
"hhhello any one there." he stuttered out nervously a large something moved attracting his eye's to look in that direction. His eye's met a pair of glowing red eye's stared him in the face for only a second. The next thing he knew it had turned around quickly. It was running away? Then something slammed into his chest sending him flying backwards on to the ground. He moved to get up he looked to see what had hit him. His eye's met a trash can rolling across the ground.
"What happened?" he questioned as he looked down at his suit it was ruined dirty.
"Oh no." he panicked as he got up he needed. to move fast if he dashes back to the apartment. He could make his meeting with a clean suit. His train of thought was broken as something had grabbed his left leg. He felt something sharp cutting his leg. He felt himself being dragged he panicked as he screamed. "Help SOMEBODY HELP AHHHH!!!"
(1 day 14 hours earlier)
A couple of piece's of toast popped out of the toaster. Shinji began to put strawberry jam on them for his breakfast. Rei had a bowl of Miso soup they were dressed and ready for the day. It had been two weeks since the last angel attack and the other pilot from Germany would arrive in a weeks time. When that happened Shinji would be leaving.
But that was far from his mind. As other thoughts played in his head. School would began soon no different from any other day, but today was a little different. The door slid open and in walked a tired, hungover, disoriented, and hungry Misato.(Hey adjectives look at that.)
"Good morning you two." She said as she made a straight be line for the fridge. Shinji had seen this only a couple of times since moving in. Because normally he was out of the house before Misato woke up but today. She had to get up early for something, Shinji wasn't looking forward to Parent teacher conference.
Something that got him in a lot of trouble more often then not with his Aunt Yuki. For one he knew his grades where most likely failing or close to it. At his last school he was barely above the bar from flunking out. His only real saving grace was that he aced his tests. His homework was what really caused his poor GPA.
"YEEHAAA" Misato cried out as she drained the can of it's malt liquor. "I'm telling you there's nothing better then starting out the day." Misato said enjoying her morning ritual. Rei watched in curiosity. Shinji well it was something unique that was for sure.
"So your going to our parent teacher conference." Shinji asked as he began to clean up the mess in the kitchen and wash a few items from the previous night. Hoping she really wasn't going to be coming to it.
"Of course I am it's the first meeting with your teachers. It's a chance to know a bit about your school life. And what you do during the day." Misato said as she dismissed it with a wave of her hand. As she munched on a piece of toast as Shinji tried to think of another excuse.
"But your so busy with your job, and you got in late this morning." Shinji tried in vain hoping she was tired and could convince her she was. Even though knowing the most likely answer to his statement was don't worry I'm fine.
"Oh don't worry it's a part of my job anyway." She said without a thought. Only for Shinji to stop the statement kinda hurt, but she was close with the statement.
"Oh just apart of your job I see." he replied as he finished up quickly wanting to head out. Misato heard this and felt a little bad about saying it like that.
"Ready to head to .... Rei?" He asked looking around as he heard the door out side close. He disliked that he never noticed her get up and leave. She could have stabbed him with a kitchen knife in the side, and he wouldn't know until she did stab him.
"I guess I'll be going then, I'll see you later Misato." Shinji said as he headed out the door as well catching up to his fellow pilot.
"Have a good day." Misato said as he left leaving her to contemplate the boy. 'He's still so reclusive he never talks to me. Or other at school from the reports. He seems open to Rei now that I think about it. The only times I see him are when he's cooking dinner and eating with me and Rei. Then he heads to his room for the night.' she thought to herself. She snapped open another can of beer contemplating the boy.
Walking to her room there was a report on her desk about the boy's day to day life since he came to Tokyo-3. There where parts missing where Shinji seemed to just disappear. Gone from the face of the earth only to reappear back at the apartment school or Nerv late but there.
"Intelligence dragging its ass some more. I suppose" Misato thought as she looked at the report. Section-2 ability's where lacking. Shinji's Aunt had called a couple of times worried about him. She had found out more from the worried relative then the professionals, but from what she was told Shinji was the same way when he was living with her.
"I guess he's at the awkward stage in his life. Things are different for him. He has a lot of responsibility's with the Eva. I guess I don't blame him for wanting to be alone." Misato said as she decided to get up from her little desk. She needed to show up at the school in an hour or so.
Shinji was walking just walking this time on his trip to school. He needed to be on time today. Before Misato showed up, but he had a lot of time today and there was no real emergency's. No one was screaming for help, and he was just going to do some thinking. That was when when Shinji was proven wrong. As a scream broke him from any thoughts he was going to have.
'Strange the one morning, I don't patrol before school.' He thought as he made a dash for the nearest alleyway away from prying eyes. He took of his cloths revealing the suit underneath slipping on the red gloves and red mask on. Shinji was up the wall and jumping from roof top to roof top in no time. He had his clothes in a make shift web bag for later.
Arriving where he heard the scream from. He looked into an ally way to find someone, huddled up in a corner next to the dumpster. Clutching her arm it looked like it was bleeding. He dropped down next to her from a web.
"Are you alright miss what happened." The woman turned her head to see the rumored Spider-man standing in front of her. she broke from her staring to answer him and it had frightened her.
"Ittt was sssoomthing. I don't know what it was but it gggraaabbed my arm. IIIttt sttartttted to pull me away. Then it let go of me annnd it ran away." the woman said as she stuttered what she saw and what had happened. Shinji looked down at the girl the cuts on her arm weren't very deep but.
"Okay I'm going to take you to the nearest hospital. The wound doesn't look very deep. But its better safe then sorry." Shinji said as he picked the woman up into his arms. Before he left he looked towards the path the woman had indicated. He saw in indigent in the concrete. He walked towards it with the woman in his arms. he looked it as his eye's widened it looked like a claw mark.
'Was it the Rhino guy again? No its to small, that guy was bigger a lot bigger, and he didn't have claws. But this looks more dangerous. That other guy maybe? Not enough time to think later.' Shinji Reminded himself as he then jumped upwards. Attaching himself to the wall with his feet. He ran up the side of the building with the woman in his arms.
Shinji was thinking to him self about tonight he would investigate. What was going on the claw marks in the brick wall meant some one dangerous. He had gone back and looked around and found an access card with the the letters T3U. On it what it was he didn't know, but he would think about it.
'That other guy with the rhino he had claws was it him?' Shinji thought it could be. It was the only lead he had on the subject from the attack on Nerv there had been no sign of the two figures since then it was cause for concern why did they attack Nerv what where they after and why for that matter.
Shinji would have to think about it there was a screech of tires and loud thump causing the kids in the class to look out in to the street to see a blue Renault come to a stop perfectly in a parking space a beautiful woman with purplish black hair wearing a nice dress stepped out of the car wearing sunglasses.
"Wow who's that." Someone said as the boys ogled over the woman. "She's hot who is she is she someones sister or mother?" The questions filled the air as too who the vision of beauty could be. Shinji felt a head ache forming as he laid his head on his desk. He wasn't to worried about Misato learning a little about his grades. No what worried him was what Misato would tell his Aunt Yuki. Or do to him afterward either way trouble was the word he was thinking.
'One concern for another.' Shinji thought as the conference with the teacher was going to go similar to the ones he had back when he lived with his Aunt.
Later that day Shinji sat with Misato and Rei as the teacher went over the problems the children had in there day to day schooling.
Rei was fine she did her work and turned it in. She was quite and unsociable and most of the time she just stared out the window but she did fine. Shinji on the other hand well the teacher expressed with a hand motion of trying to grasp a thought on where to begin.
"He's such an intellectual child, but he seems to have trouble turning in his homework. He's fallen asleep in class several times A day. Not only that he's been late to class six times this week and its only Tuesday. His grades are barely passing. and he's only been here less then a month or so. And he's been in two fights since being here. You can see my cause for alarm Miss Katsuragi ." The old Teacher said his hands behind his back. Talking to the purple haired woman.
Shinji had gotten into second fight with the school jock only to promptly lay the other teen out. Not even asking why He wanted to pick a fight unconcerned. He was busy with other thoughts and hobbies.
Misato nodded her head soaking in the information. Her smile never fading something that concerned the young super powered teen.
"I see I guess we will have to have a talk later wont we Shinji. I'll see you two at Nerv on time. Thank you Sensei you have a nice day." Misato said as she left the office leaving Shinji with a sense of foreboding over the near future.
It was later that night after sync tests, Along with an hour long talking to from his Aunt. When Misato came home early to talk to the pilots. Mainly Shinji well mostly Shinji okay only Shinji about his educational ability or lack there of.
"Your teacher was kinda enough to give me the materials you missed. He said if you complete what you haven't done, he'll give you half credit for whats correct. I expect you to finish it before you go to bed. But you have tomorrow of to work on it as well understood." Misato said at the table beer in hand. A folder containing some documents in her other hand. As she looked over them Shinji's home work laying on the table.
"Yes ma'am." Shinji said as he cooked the meal for dinner. 'Look's like I'm not getting out of here tonight. I'll have to check out that spot tomorrow night.' Shinji thought as he cooked dinner in quit as Misato continued to read through something marked as. 'jet alone' Shinji decided to break the silence as he cooked.
"So what are you looking at?" Shinji asked as he looked at the folder holding a frying pan. Misato looked up at the boy and responded with an annoyed sigh.
"Something that could replace the Eva and cut Nerv funding. It's a good Idea I suppose. But I doubt it could fight the Angels in actual combat." Misato said getting Shinji's full attention now.
"Really." Shinji said as he looked over the woman's shoulder and there it was big and kinda block looking robot. Shinji with quick eye's scanned through what Misato was holding.
"A nuclear reactor wow that's safe looks to me like a walking bomb."Shinji said looking over what material Misato had on the subject.
"Well the thought there going for is. That it can run for about a 150 days of run time. I guess that's a good thing but combat wise it sucks. The top brass are eating it up mostly because its cheaper to maintain then the Eva's. There unveiling it tomorrow me and Ritsuko are going as representatives of Nerv." Misato said as she rolled her eye's tossing the papers down. In frustration Shinji just looked at them as Misato rubbed her temple.
'Looks to me like there on to something work out a few bugs and maybe. I should sneak out and go with them I wouldn't mind seeing this it could be all the more reason I can leave a new replace meant if it works.' Shinji thought if he was going to go he would have to sneak out and fallow Misato and Ritsuko he was temporarily under house arrest with Misato but she'd never find out he was gone so long as Rei didn't know or tell he'd be fine.
"I'm not hungry. So I'm heading to bed. Goodnight Shinji see you in the morning night Rei." Misato said forgoing dinner to just get some extra sleep. she'd eat at the party tomorrow one thing about events like that was the spread of food it was always something fancy. "Goodnight Misato." Shinji said as he finished dinner for him Rei and Pen-Pen.
The silence was defining as Shinji ate with Rei. Normally Misato was the one to talk and poke fun at the teenagers. Normally Misato wouldn't get to far picking on Rei as she often didnt understand. Or she would question the purpose of the subject and often deflate Misato's fun.
"Hey Rei do you know anything about the Jet alone project?" Shinji asked the girl as he ate what looked like fish and peanut butter. Shinji wanted to learn a little about the project and see what his fellow pilot knew. She was close to his dad at least Shinji thought so.
"I know nothing except it is incapable of fighting the angels." Rei said as she ate some regular steam rice. Shinji took in the information she just said thinking about it until the thought of the A.T. field.
'All the run time in the world isn't enough if it can't get past the A.T. field. I guess it would end up as cannon folder." Shinji said a little amused about an expensive way to hold back the enemy even for just a minute.
"Yes Eva is the only means to get through the barrier."Rei said as she stopped eating and looked to Shinji. "Why did you want to know about Jet alone?"Rei asked genuinely concerned as to what he was thinking about. But she showed no emotion asking in a monotoned voice.
"I don't know. I guess I was thinking. It would be another reason I could leave." Shinji said voicing his thoughts with out thinking as he ate his meal. Rei looked at him a empty feeling made it's self known in her stomach she wasn't sure what it was.
"Do you dislike it here?" Rei asked questioning the boy that had caught her interest. Shinji stopped eating to look up at the face of Rei he almost heard emotion in what she said but her face said nothing to the contrary.
"It's not that I don't like it here. But piloting Eva is just well it shouldn't be my job I'm not......Rei how long have you trained to be a pilot for the Eva?" Shinji asked after a moment of pause looking at the girl. deciding how he would explain his thoughts.
"I have been trained to pilot Eva since I was very young." Rei said answering his question not looking away from Shinji. Her red eye's meeting his dark blue as he scratched his head.
"That's my thought right there. You have been trained since you where little to pilot, I haven't something like this should be left with a professional." Shinji said relaying his thoughts to the blue haired girl. True he was doing something that amounted to. Nothing more then being a vigilant. Something that should also be left to a professional. But He accepted it on his own. Piloting Eva was something he was forced to accept.
It shouldn't be his responsibility. That's not to say he would run away the moment he could. Shinji made a promise to anything he could to stop anything bad from happening to others. But this was way to big for him a responsibility he wasn't sure he could handle. Even with the powers he had. He already accepted one responsibility of his own choice and he wasn't going to accept the responsibility his father was forcing on him with the Eva.
"Is it because of the commander that you don't wish to be here?" Rei questioned hitting the nail on the head. Shinji visibly flinched. The more Shinji really thought about it yes it was because of his father. He didn't want anything to do with the man. Deep down Shinji was still afraid of him. The rejection and scorn from being abandoned. There where other feelings such as confusion and anger, along with a wanting of being accepted.
"I don't know." Shinji said answering the question truthfully as he put down his plate bowl of rice.
"I think I'm done for the night. I'm going to head to bed. Good night Rei." Shinji said getting up and placing the dirty plate in the sink with the others.
Shinji left Rei to her self with the resident pet. As Rei thought to her self before she finished eating her self and went to bed.
The next day was quit simple for Shinji who had decided to fallow Misato. To the Jet Alone presentation. It was made easier by the simple fact that. He attached a spider tracer to her shoe's. It was small enough she wouldn't even notice it, or anyone for that matter. All he needed to do was fallow it and her then retrieve it later on. So she wouldn't find it. Shinji had on his suit waiting for her. He sensed the tracer coming his way only it was above him. Looking up he could see a Nerv jet approaching over head from a tall roof top.
'So there flying and there still low to the ground I feel lucky today.' Shinji thought go to the presentation watch the test. Then sneak on to the ship before Misato and Ritsuko leave. They where low enough that he could attach him self no problem.
As he saw it begin to pass over head he shot out a web line connecting to the bottom of the air machine. As quickly as he could he climbed up the rope of web. He didn't want anyone to see him especially the pilot's or god forbid Misato or Ritsuko. It could turn bad. Why was someone with a mask fallowing a Nerv plane? someone would question. That would be bad for many reasons.
He reached the bottom of the air craft climbing around and on to the roof no one would see him on top of the plane Helicopter combination. Shinji found the trip to be a long two hour flight away from Tokyo-3.
'I better keep an eye out. I think I might have trouble explaining. why I'm all the way in old Tokyo.' Shinji thought as they neared the testing sight and landing. Crawling around on top of the aircraft Shinji watched Misato fallow Ritsuko towards the center building. They never noticed the masked teenager. Shinji looked around and saw guards walking the perimeter of the building so getting around would be difficult.
' Guess I'm not using the front door.' Shinji thought as he looked up to see the roof no guards in sight. Must be his lucky day no guards on the roof no cameras.
'Then again I could take the high road. That would be easier for a masked individual such as myself. Besides I get the VIP detour.' Shinji thought with a grin beneath his mask as he jumped from chopper to chopper avoiding guards and cameras with ease. Until he mad it to the side of the roof no problem.
"Piece of cake." he said as he climbed to the top only to stop his spider sense's tingling looking over the edge Shinji saw the problem. There was a guard on the roof smoking a cigarette most likely taking a break.
'Great' Shinji thought the guard hadn't noticed him yet. A thought then popped into Shinji's head that guard could be his ticket in to the party. He would have to barrow some clothes and show a lot more caution. But he could still get in and see things a lot better. Shinji then put his plan into action sneaking up to the guard and taking him down. knocking him out tying him up with his web's. Shinji disrobed the man into his boxers and under shirt. He then put on the cloths. They where a little big but the fit perfectly fine besides that.
"Don't worry I'll return them later you just hang around up here." Shinji said putting the mans sunglasses on as well as a hat pulling the collar up. More or less hiding most of his facial features. He walked into the building. He headed down stairs hiding his face with the hat and collar as he fallowed his spider sense to the tracer Misato wore.
He found the room no problem and quickly. He arrived in time to see Ritsuko standing up dirrecting questions at a man on the plat form. He'd already missed most of it, but it looked like the doctor was looking pretty angry. Shinji walked over to a guard leaning next to a door dozing off to himself.
"Hey I'll take over why don't you go and take your lunch." Shinji said as he talked to a guard standing watching taking advantage of the mans exhaustion. The man didn't really look at Shinji just yawn. "Thanks man I can barley stay awake these things are so boring." The guard said with yawn and a grin chuckling to him self.
"Yeah I know enjoy your lunch." Shinji said making his voice sound a bit deeper. As he stood his place watching Ritsuko argue with the man on stage.
"But in an emergency manual control could cause issues." The blond doctor said to the man on stage.
"But its more humane then a system known for causing stress on the pilot is it not?" The man said defending his side of the argument. "Besides its much safer then a system known to grow out of control and go berserk in the middle of a city. A weapon that cant be controlled is insane it's like a hysterical woman." He said holding up a top secret file on the Eva making Ritsuko flinch all the while insulating her.
"Our technology will allow us to control it." The man stopped and shook his head.
"So your saying science and faith will help you control the Eva beast. that's utter nonsense why not make something you can control." The man said his smirk growing wider and smugger.
"That's besides the point at current Nerv. Has the only weapon capable of defeating the enemy." Ritsuko said a smirk of her own as the man waved it off.
"You mean the A.T. Field. That's mearly a matter of time and research. Something that can be done easily with a bit more funding on our part. Face it doctor Akagi Nerv's time in the sun is just about up. I'll be ending the questioning, the test will begin in 15 Minutes. Please head to the observation deck." The head scientist said as he walked off stage.
Shinji watched this and took it as his Que to leave the post he was watching. it looked like a childish squabble to him why not work together to defeat the angels.
'The guy seems convinced its going to work. Although Ritsuko is right its useless, if it cant get passed the A.T. feild. I don't see why these people don't work together on these things. Adults are confusing.' Shinji thought of course the reason was and he knew this. It was a thought of pride and want to succeed over others, When they should be working to together to solve the problem at hand.
Shinji headed towards a bathroom to put his gloves and mask on. He had seen enough arguing. But he would stick around a little while longer. To watch the demonstration. Its not like he could go any where at the moment
Shinji crawled into an air vent's to make his way to the roof to watch. He also needed to return the clothes he borrowed.
Shinji stood on the roof as a large building began to open up revealing the robot. It was kinda blocky looking. It then brought its left leg up and stepped forward.
"Well it walks better then I did my first time." Shinji said as watched it get closer and closer to the dome like roof top. "Its not stopping." Shinji said idly as it got closer thinking this was a part of the test. As it got closer his spider sense went of warning him that he was wrong.
"Crap its not stopping!!!"Shinji said in surprise and mild wonder. Shinji jumped from the path of the foot as it came down on to the roof as it walked through the building.
"I'm going to assume that wasn't apart of the test. On the off chance it was apart of the test. It did a fantastic job making a new sun roof." Shinji said as he watched as the massive unmanned robot continued to walk. Shinji saw some of the roof starting to crumble. Acting fast he began to shoot web lines securing some of the blocks. Some of the pieces began to fall. Shinji jumped down the crevasse and began to web up the ceiling securing the blocks.
People looking up in shook as a masked figure secured the roof. He then lowered himself down on a web line in front of the head scientist for the jet alone project. The one he assumed was the head honcho the way Ritsuko and him argued earlier.
"I think your toys broken." the masked figure said getting other peoples attention as he hung upside down from a piece of web.
"You what are you doing here this is top secret. Did you do this?" The man accused pointing at the figure hanging upside down. It had to be why would the Jet Alone react this way it was programmed with all forms of safety guards.
"Well if I was responsible would I still be here?" Shinji questioned what kinda espionage agent stuck around for this kind of thing after the fact and appear before others that's just stupid.
"Someone HELP!"Shinji looked to see some one trapped beneath a slab of stone. He dropped to the ground picking up a large slab of of stone. Freeing a man trapped under it. Others watched as the skinny figure picked up a slab of cement with almost little effort. Something Ritsuko commented on being impossible with his size and weight ratio.
"You you're the one that saved Rei. What are you doing here?" Misato said pointing at the masked hero who just shrugged his shoulders.
"Well I was in the neighbor hood and figured I'd swing in." Shinji said scratching the back of his head. 'Alright this was getting awkward change the subject.' Turning his Attention back to the man as some one shouted out that the reactor was nearing a critical levels.
"It's going to go into melt down." someone shouted out in panic. As the tech typed on his computer council.
"Then turn it off." Shinji said looking at the doctor it was remote controlled why not shut it off?
"We cant the only thing we could do is wait for it to run out of power." The man said shacking his head.
"And how likely is that?' Misato shouted out at some tech's.
"The odds of it stopping its self or running out of power 0.00002% It be an act of god." a tech said in a panick.
"Acts of man are better then acts of god." Misato shouted out.
"There's got to be some way to turn it off. Isn't there a safety program. A main emergency shut down system. Something that will whip out all the current programing or something of the sort right." Shinji asked it was ran by a computer right. There was always a way to turn them off some how clear all the programs that would shut it down or reset it.
"There is a password that can wipe all data files and put it into its main shut down mode. But it would have to be entered into the main computer terminal inside the jet alone, but I don't have the clearance to give it to you or any one here." Shinji felt an angry twitch as he brought his fist down on a concrete slab as cracks began to form.
"Perhaps you don't understand. That thing is going to light up most of the area in a massive radioactive explosion killing a lot of people. Tell me the password, oooorrrr I'm going to have to hurt you until you do tell me." Shinji said in a threatening tone to the man. Shinji pulled his fist away from the concrete showing a fist shaped indigent in the stone.
"Your going to turn it off manually your insane. Assuming the heat inside doesn't kill you. The radiation will you'll die." the man said in shook as he realized what the spider-man was going to do. As he looked at the costumed man in awe and shook.
"Its better then the first option and thousands of innocents dying. If I have the power to do something and help then its fine." Shinji said as the man stepped back. Shook and reconition this person was willing to die for something that's not his fault or problem.
"I cant give you the password, I need to get clearance to do so." the man said Shinji stepped forward but Misato stepped in front of him.
"Then you better get permission now bucko." Misato said as the man looked at the woman and the menacing figure behind her. As he scrambled to a phone and started dialing numbers. Shinji turned around and just sighed as his spider sense buzzed he heard the click of a gun behind him.
"What are you doing here, did you do something to the jet alone system?" Misato said leveling her gun to the head of the masked man. She smelled something rotten and this guy was trouble first the attack at Nerv and now this how was he connected.
'He shows up here as the jet alone goes out of control. Somethings not right is he behind this? No then why would he offer to turn it off or help for that matter.' Misato thought as she waited for his answer. Only to find her gun had been grabbed as the man then disarmed her. Before she knew what happened she was on the ground on her but.
'He's fast real fast.' Misato thought looking up as she began to scramble, she didn't even see him move until it was to late. She didn't even pull the trigger before he had already pulled it away from her.
"This affectionate atmosphere makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside." the masked man said offering her an hand to help her stand. "Listen I know this seems well bad but I'm here to help." Misato just looked at the hand many thoughts going through her head as she took the hand with a grumble and a sigh.
"If your going to help then so am I." Misato said she didn't trust this it was to covenant for him to be here how did he know about this it was top secret.
"Sorry but you'll only get in the way." Shinji said as he stepped back and away from the woman. 'Did he just say I'd get in the way? That stubborn macho. I'm not letting this guy go alone'
"How do you plan on catching up to it ?" Misato asked as the costumed hero stopped in his tracks. He hadn't thought about how to catch up to it. Misato smirked she had him. 'Damn' Shinji thought.'She's right I don't have anyway of getting to it'
"Your going to need some help. Nerv will assist in the operation of stopping the machine." Misato said as she left to go and make some phone calls of her own.
"Yes Hyuga I need you to prep Eva unit one. Load it on a transport jet to old Tokyo quickly. There has been an incident got that okay thanks." Misato said as she hung up now she needed the pilot. She called Shinji's cell phone and it just rang for a few minuets. Until someone picked up and it up and answered it.
"Hello." Rei said on the other end.
"Rei put Shinji on quickly."Misato said she needed the pilot of unit one she needed Shinji's help with this.
"Shinji is not home Captain Katsuragi, He left earlier to take care of some tasks for school." Rei said informing her Superior officer of what Shinji said he was doing before he left for the day.
"What do you mean he's not at the house. Damn that kid. Rei I need you to head to Nerv quickly. Tell them you're the replacement for unit one. I don't have time to find Shinji." the woman said as she hung up in anger and frustration.
"Oh that boys introuble when I get home." seconds after saying that the masked man sneezed a new sense of foreboding coming to life a shiver working its way down his spine.
"I'll have permission in five hours I'll give you the password then." Shinji looked up to see the main scientist for the project and just blinked at the man he was serious this couldn't be joke right.
"Your kidding right?" Spider-man asked only to receive a shack of the head.
"By then it'll be to late once the reactor red lines its goodbye." Misato said in frustration at the man.
"Thats it I'm taking full responsibiltiy right now do you have any radiation suits?" Misato asked reciving a nod from the man.
"Get them quickly you fallow me." Misato said ordering the masked man around Shinji fallowed the order none the less mildly scared.
"Captain Katsuragi is it wise to be helping someone like this. He should at least tell us his name and take off that mask." Ritsuko said pointedly at the man reaching for the mask only for the hand to be dodged.
"The names Spider-man and sorry the mask stays. Chicks dig the mysterious figure behind the mask." The spider said pointing at the mask as the woman glared at the man twice now he was interfering in top secret business.
"We need a written consent that you wont tell anyone about what you see." Ritsuko said to the man she needed something from him, She wasnt about to let this slid the commander would be angry about it.
"Well I don't think I'll be telling anyone about it. They'll think I'm just crazy or some kind of lunatic, anyway besides I cant stand around and do nothing if I can do something about it." Shinji said as they arrived in the changing room a man holding two radiation suits. Misato walked in a and began to changing Shinji keeping his costume on as he put on the safty suit over his costume.
"A quick test." Shinji said he wouldn't be able to use his web's, but climbing would most likely be an option and very useful. Shinji stuck a hand on the wall and began to crawl up the wall. 'looks like I'm good to go.' Shinji thought as he waited on the girls to exit.
"You can't be seriouse about letting him help." Ritsuko questioned slash asked of her friend.
"It can't be helped. and who knows maybe he could be good ally for Nerv. He could probably be a better body guard for the pilots then section two." Misato said as she finished changing into the haze mat suit. and began walking to the door Ritsuko fallowing.
When they came out out the saw the figure in the hazmat suit back against the wall a couple of feet above the ground.
"You know you don't have to come with me." Shinji said trying to dis sway the woman from coming with him.
"Sorry but once I set my mind to something I don't quit till I'm done." Misato said with a smirk. As she walked by Shinji. Ritsuko looking at the spider-man clinging to the wall.
"How do you do that?" She asked looking at the man. The scientist in her taking over and her anger replaced with curiosity.
"I'm a spider remember hence the name Spider-man." Shinji said as he let go of the wall and fallowed Misato quickly. They where loaded up on the Carrier counting Rei and unit 01 Misato then went about explaining what she would do Rei nodded her head in understanding.
"Understood." She looked at the Kumo Otoko then looked away as she stood up to go and board the Eva. Rei stopped in the door way. "I look forward to both of your returns." Rei said before she left. Shinji looked at the back of the girl as she left. 'Rei.' Shinji thought to himself that seemed to be the most emotion she expressed.
"Lets get ready where almost there." Misato said breaking the masked hero from his thoughts as he stood up to fallow the older woman.
It had come Misato and the masked man where ready as the eva dropped Shinji holding onto Misato as the Eva hit the ground as the purple war machine Ran towards the jet alone robot catching up in no time.
"Hold to me." the Spider-man said as he jumped on to the machine getting a good hold the earth beneath them. the Jet alone shook as Misato lost her footing slipping as she fell. She felt her self stop hanging in mid air she looked up to see an open hand holding on to the glass screen of her helmet.
'That's impossible there's no way he can hold onto the glass screen like that' She thought this guy was defiantly far from normal.
"I got you hold on." Shinji said as he lifted her the rest of the way up. Misato then took hold of the robot door now the passcode should work she said as she typed it into the door only to get a red X meaning they couldn't get in
"No way it doesn't work." Misato panicked as she tried to re-type the access code. Shinji's response to this as she tried to type it in again was to move her out of the way.
"If no one's answering us then, well let our selves in." Shinji then grabbed on to the door and began to pull it open, Using his ability to stick to everything along with a bit of super strength tossed in to pull it open. Misato watching in amazement and disbelieving as several inches of thick steel. Was pulled from the machine and tossed over the side. With what looked like little effort on his part.
"Wow that's hot, Lets hurry before we become baked spider and flambe." he said joking around as he began to crawl down the side of the wall quickly. Misato watching as she took the ladder fallowing quickly behind.
"Oh man it is hot in here." Misato said as she climbed. after this was over she was going to take a cold shower. Misato got to the bottom to see the masked figure looking around lost.
"Where do we go from here?" Shinji asked he wasn't sure where to go from here. There were three hallways going in different directions. and he didn't know where any of them went.
"Its that way hurry." Misato said in understanding as she moved forward. This solidified his involvement in this. If he didn't know where he was going how could he have sabotaged the Jet Alone.
"Whats the pass code to over write the system?" Shinji asked as he looked at the computer. The man had told her but refused to tell him. One reason and perhaps the only real reason he let Misato come with him. She typed it in only to get a denied.
"What the? Error." she typed in again only to be denied again.
'Some hope.' Misato thought "Whats wrong doesn't it work?" Shinji asked only to receive a shack of the head.
"No it doesn't. Where going to have to try the old fashioned way. Rely on the long shot and push the rods in manually." Misato said as Shinji nodded he then grabbed on to one of the rods Misato joining him as they pushed.
"Wow Old fashioned sucks "Shinji grunted as he pushed. They where half way there as a beep was heard from the terminal as the rods retracted faster then they could push back into the machine. as the systems went green in fact the entire machine became green.
"What the?"Shinji questioned as he caught himself. Misato falling forward catching her self as well. It looked like everything was calming down did they do this?
'what happened.' Shinji thought as he stepped back Misato deep in thought thinking the same thing. "Is it a miracle or something else?
"Yeah this was a miracle alright. A planned Miracle as far as I can tell." Misato said from her sitting position on the ground. Shinji nodded his head it made sense. Shinji already had a few thoughts as to who did this. 'Some one connected to Nerv or the Eva most likely' Shinji thought. Shinji sat down on the ground taking a breather. It wasn't every day he took the time to save an entire city. Well unless you counted the angels other then that he never handled something this big as Spider-Man.
Misato looked to her side looking at the costumed Hero. "Spider-man thats your name right? I'm Misato Katsuragi. Why did you do this you could have done nothing. But here you are helping why?" Misato questioned the hero as they both sat in the control room in there hazmat suits. The reply was him to shrug his shoulders.
"Why did you do this. I'm more then capable of doing this on my own. Why where you so intent on coming? not like this is your fault as well is it?" Spider-man said dodging a question with one of his own. The opps director just shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know my self. I suppose I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night if something horrible where to happen and I could stop it." Misato said making Shinji think a bit about his purple haired guardian. "You and I are a lot alike in that sense I suppose." Shinji said as he stood in front of the woman.
"I think its time I get out of here I'll see you later Captain Katsuragi you have a nice day."Shinji said as he brought his right arm across his chest and with a bow. He made his way out of the jet alone. things to Think about on his own.
"Hello ah yes its good to talk to you. No no I'm fine yes I've recently come into acquiring quit the investment. And I was wondering if you would be interested in coming to take a look at it for me. I sent you a few sample's of it yes ah splendid. I look forward to your arrival Alistair my boy." a man said as he hung up the phone.
"Is this a good Idea what good does that hunk of junk do for you." The prowler said stepping out of the shadows facing his boss the kingpin.
"Oh don't worry about it. I'm sure I'll find a use for it either in spare parts. Or what ever else I may need. Now on to business I assume the infiltration of Nerv has gone smoothly on your part." King pin asked looking at the prowler who crossed his arms.
"It has at current I work with one of the three Magi computer's. The one called Casper along with six other techs at one time. Because I work at such a low level I can come and go as I please most of the time. I don't have access to anything extraordinary at current. But a little more time and effort and I wont need to." The prowler said letting the King Pin know whats going on.
"Good good now then I believe Alister will be here in a about a week to look at the investment. I'd like you to assist him when he gets here." King pin said getting a nod from the prowler as he turned to leave back out the window he came through, King pin looked down.
"Jet alone humph Interesting." he looked at a picture of the spider-man from the jet Alone incident there weren't that many pictures of him and this pu a new perspective into the events
"Int resting Indeed." The Large man said as he looked at a picture of the spider-man taken at the scene of the accident the cameras caught quit the interesting feet's of the hero of the day.
"One more thing before you go a Side job if you Will." The king pin said as the prowler stopped turning around his cape swooshing a bit. As he listen to the lord of crime the world around. It was night and he some errands of his own to run.
(9 Hours later)
Shinji was laying in his bed. It had been a long day it took him almost 6 hours to dispose of the radiation suit safely. He was sure he wasn't Radio active. He wasn't suffering from any symptoms thus far. and he had reached a nine hour's and no sighs of being sick. At current it be three days before, he would be sure of the amount of damage. If any was present. Any heavy exposure should have occurred an hour after the incident. So Shinji put faith into his strong spider backed and based constitution besides. He wasn't really all that concerned about it now the explaining would be hard on his part as to how he got exposed in the first place.
So here he was in his room. He managed to beat Misato and Rei home, and now he waited for there return. Something he wasn't looking forward to but he would except what ever punishment she had. He was supposed to be home today doing homework. Something he had finished a little while ago. Today he learned a little about the woman and he respected her quit a bit more now then he did before. She was a strong woman regardless of her bad habits. she was allot like him he supposed.
Shinji sighed as he looked at his Ceiling "I think I'll stay a little longer in Tokyo-3. At least until the arrival of the other Eva and its pilot."Shinji said as he rolled over a small smile he didn't know he had on his face.
The door to his room opened. "Hey Misato I finished my homework." Shinji said pointing to the pile of papers on his desk. While he lay ed in the bed not facing the woman. Oh this wouldn't be pretty at all oh well add insult to injury. "So how was your day?"
Misato walked over to her desk and looked at the papers they where in deed done. so he didn't spend the day doodling around doing nothing. "It was fine. Where were you today?" Misato asked calmly. Shinji contemplated his answer "No where of interest."
"I see well then goodnight Shinji." Misato said surprising him as she closed his door and left. 'What no yelling?' Shinji questioned was she going to lecture him latter in the morning or at Nerv.
Shinji laid there for awhile restless normally, he was still out at this time but he returned early. to put on a good facade in front of Misato and Rei. But now he was board and they where probably asleep.
"I suppose a quick tour of the city wouldn't hurt." Shinji said as he sat up in his bed. he had been planning on listening to an hour long or so discussion. But he had been left alone so why not make a quick run through the city. Donning his costume he was out the window in a matter of minutes.
Shinji jumped from Roof top to rooftop, Shinji enjoyed the fresh air and the freedom that came with this part of his job. Even if no one needed help the simple fact of experiencing the since of weightlessness as he web slings through the city as though he was flying.
"Help SOMEBODY HELP AHHHH!!!" Shinji heard someone scream as grabbed on to the side of a building. It didn't sound that far from where that woman had been attacked yesterday. Shinji jumped heading towards the scream.
He shot a line of web towards the side of a building as he swung around the building he let go of the line flying down the street. Shinji began to fall down ward reaching out he took a hold of a lamp post with his right arm. jumping from it with his arm doing a back flip in mid air. Shinji shot out another line of web. and pulled on it with all his might as he flew through the streets break neck speed.
"GET AWAY FROM ME HELP!!!" yelled the man as something big pulled him along by his leg. He heard a loud whack sound like a crash as he felt the grip on his leg loosen. The man took advantage of this as he began to crawl away in a desperate attempt to get away.
The alleyway was dark but Shinji could see something large down there and someone struggling to get away. Wasting no time Shinji as he jumped down the alleyway his legs extended as he collided with the large something it recoiled and went flying backwards Shinji bent his legs as he jumped from it.
'Who ever it is it's not that Rhino guy.' Shinji thought as landed on the ground in crouch. As Shinji watched as the large something got up from the ground looking around almost confused until it saw Shinji it then charged at Shinji. Shinji couldn't make out what it was but his spider sense guiding him he jumped over the creature with ease stepping on its head in the process. as it then went crashing into a dumpster.
Shinji saw the man trying to crawl away now was his chance to get the person to safety. Moving to the man as fast as he could he scooped up the injured person taking him out of the ally. and into the streets.
"Are you okay?" Shinji asked as the man nodded clutching his leg. "RAHHHH!!!!" was the roar that came from the alleyway as the thing that had attacked the man came out. "What the?" Shinji questioned it was covered in green scales head to toe claws sharp teeth and it looked like some kind of lizard and it looked angry. As it began to run towards Shinji and the man running on a combination of all fours and its legs. Its jaws wide open ready to rip its prey apart.
Finally finished I had issues all the way around Now you may or may not have and most likely haven't noticed but I think and this is all in my imaginative mine that I may be doing better with Grammar. I'm not sure I like to think I am if not then let me know so I can try again only harder the next time to get it right thank you.
I decided I didn't want Shinji to interact with the Eva this chapter and have Misato in the jet alone. And I know what some of you are thinking why did Misato pull a gun on Shinji thats just not nice well I think I made that point clear if you read it something goes wrong and a masked figure shows up. But by the end of the chapter she was more excepting of the hero's help XD
I decided to introduce one of my favorite villains in this chapter and leave you guys hanging on what happens next.
Now this lizard is going to be a bit different from the original but you'll learn more about it in the next chapter.
Mental cookie if you can guess what T3U stands for on the security card Shinji found I think its obvious but that's probably because its me.
Also I decided to keep the name of Alistair Smyth because well that's just a really cool name if you ask me.
well it took a while but here it is the next chapter finally done I know what a jerk been about a month since I last updated but If it pleases the court I am still writing it just takes me forever to edit the chapter and works been busy the only time I find I can write and edit my story is at 1 in the morning to 3 in the morning.
I work very late shifts and some days I just don't feel like messing with it but I really want to finish my first story before I start another one but I do have another Idea for a story involving soul eater and Eva but I haven't started writing that one yet but I might after a while.
