*Intermission I*
Shinji stared out of the helicopter window down at the wide blue
ocean. There was something very calming about not seeing any signs of
man below him - and the fact that Toji and Kensuke weren't yelling
"Shinji loves Rei!" at every viable opportunity, on account of them
practically drooling over Misato and the helicopter, respectively.
They had, obviously, been stunned at first, and there were several
times Shinji would have laughed out loud, if he wasn't so embarrassed
- like on their first day back at school, after the operation, when
Kensuke almost fell out of his chair after reading the 'I love you,
Shinji' printed at the bottom of a message Rei sent him. Or when Rei
had kissed him - wolf whistles and shouts of "Alright, Ikari!" had
flow across the classroom, but Shinji was sure Toji and Kensuke almost
had brain embolisms.
He turned his focus to inside the helicopter, and began to wonder just
why Misato had decided to bring them. Shinji thought they would be in
the way...well, maybe not Toji, who would just follow Misato around,
but certainly Kensuke - anyone could be irritated by a fourteen year
old with a video camera and a love of war machines.
Beginning of 'Asuka Strikes!'
"Is this correct? This reading?"
"I believe so, Commander."
"Are you sure these readings came from Rei?"
"Quite sure. Is there something wrong with them?"
"They have an unusually high amount of thought noise in them. Rei
doesn't _have_ thought noise. It's almost as if she's becoming
more...human."
"Don't tell me you haven't noticed, Commander."
"Noticed what, Fuyutsuki?"
"Rei...and your son."
Ikari paused for a moment, in thought, running through the
ramifications and implications of what could happen.
"Can this affect her in any significant way?" Fuyutsuki asked in
Gendo's silence.
"Yes...but this shouldn't be a problem anymore. With Unit Two and the
Second Child, we no longer have a need for a constant backup."
"There is also the matter of where the Second Child is to be located.
Seeing as Rei has taken up residence with Captain Katsuragi..."
"Make it so. But...clear out all of her possessions and take them to
Dogma before the Second Child is located."
"What for, Commander?"
"Personal reasons."
End of 'Asuka Strikes!'
Ikari sifted through the objects 'recovered' from Rei apartment in
Terminal Dogma. He came across something he never expected to see
again.
His old pair of glasses.
Did Rei..._keep_ these? To remind her of him?
Then why did she get rid of them?
_Because now she has Shinji..._
"So...," Ikari said to himself, "It's begun."
Beginning of 'Magma Diver', which now follows 'Asuka Strikes!' due to
the new Angel order
