Act 4: Scenario SR2B.



Shinji Ikari was awakened by a sound that at first he thought was a
chainsaw. Upon further inspection however it turned out to be Rei's snoring. This
greatly surprised the Third child, as Rei hadn't snored the last time they had slept
together.

Of course unlike last time, all we did do this time is sleep. Thought
Shinji. He gently nudged Rei and she turned over and nestled against his chest.
This delighted Shinji as the First Child slept nude. For a split second before he
drifted back to sleep Shinji regretted that he had kept his Shirt and boxers on.



In his office, Gendo Watched his son fall back asleep. One of the first

things he had done after learning of the pilots relationship was to have Rei's
apartment tapped. Not even Fuyitski knew that Gendo could watch Shinji and Rei's
most private moments. Of course had also had monitoring devices installed in the
Katsuragi apartment. Behind his tinted Glasses a variety of emotions shimmered in
Gendo's eyes. Formost were anticipation, bitterness, and contempt. However also
showing if you could look deep enough were Sorrow, grief, hatred, and envy. All in
all mixtures that you did not want in one of the most powerful men in the world.

"Soon" He declared out loud to the empty room "They will be ready."

Oblivious, Shinji and Rei snuggled closer together.



If Ritsuko seemed cheerful, it was because she had finally seen Gendo
react to something. She had said that Shinji and Rei made a cute couple, and he had
scowled. Then she shuddered when she thought of what he had in store for them.



Shinji was standing before his father, in a section of Nerv he'd never
been in before. It wasn't his idea, as several armed Nerv agents had accosted him

"Leave us." Ordered Gendo. The agents complied.

"Turn around." He jabs his gun against Shinji's back.

"What are you doing?" asked a very scared Shinji.

"I'll explain when Rei gets here."

"Rei?!"

"Yes. She'll be coming for you." Said Gendo with a smirk.



In her apartment Rei felt... something. Danger? Shinji was in danger.
Her AT field flared on, smashing everything in her apartment. She started heading
towards Nerv.



Shinji and Gendo are waiting down by Lillith. Unit-01 has been lowered
their as well. Soon Rei comes floating in, glowing with angelic power. Shinji
watches amazed.

I knew she had angel DNA, but I never realized she could do that

"What are you doing commander." Rei's voice is like ice

"I'm initiating third impact Rei" says Gendo with a smirk. "Because of
your relationship I need Shinji now."

"I will not allow you to hurt him"

"I'm not going to hurt him. Surly you've noticed that your AT field have
become intermingled. In order to fuse with Lillith now, you must first join fully
with Shinji, and become one being."

"I will not allow it."

"You don't have a choice." Gendo pulls out a small remote and presses a
button. Rei ceases to glow and falls to the floor.

"Rei!" ignoring his fathers gun Shinji runs over to Rei. "Are you okay?"

"I took the liberty of installing a devise based on the dummy plug in
Unit-01. It is more than capable of negating the powers of a half angel. It can also
negate your personal AT fields. However it will be far less pleasant for you."

"Why are you doing this father?!"

"For humans to evolve. And also this will reunite me with Yui. Don't
you want to be reunited with your mother Shinji? We would all be one. Do you not
wish to become one with Rei?"

Suddenly Shinji understood his father. Shinji had almost become like his
father. Both had become afraid of being hurt. His father had pushed others away
rather than risk being hurt. His father was cowered.

"No. I do not want that. I love Rei because she is Rei, and she loves me
because I am me. We love each other because we are different. I can not believe
you are such a cowered." And he stared at Gendo with his eyes. And as Gendo
looked into his sons eyes he saw Yui's eyes.

he's not just my son is he? Oh god he's your son as well.


"Do you believe that is what she would want? That she would approve of
what you have done? That she would not hate you for what you have become?"

Suddenly Rei begins to glow as her powers return.

"Oh god, Yui forgive me" Gendo falls to his knees, then curls into a fetal
position on the ground and begins crying. "I'm sorry Yui, I'm so sorry."



Epilogue

Misato is talking to Shinji and Rei in her apartment.

"The shrinks say he had a total mental breakdown. They don't know when
he'll recover... or if he ever will."

"He felt he had betrayed the only people who had ever cared for him.
Like a cowered he chose to run from his guilt, rather than face it." Declared Shinji.
Misato blinked surprised to be hearing such strong commentary from Shinji.

"On another note with the Coman- I mean Gendo instantutanalized, I'd
like to become your guardian Rei."

Rei looks at Shinji "I would like that."

"But you two are not going to be sharing an apartment."

Asuka comes in

"Hey did you hear? The sub-commander's been promoted! What
happened to Shinji's dad?" Looks over to see Shinji and Rei kissing.

"Misato did I miss something?"

"You missed quite a bit Asuka. Better sit down."

The End.

Originally this fic was going to end at part 3, but one of my proofreaders
suggested I go to a fourth chapter in order to resolve the loose ends. And that ends
this fic. You can stop reading now.
