REPRISAL 0:11
EPILOGUE
Canada
Cold. Misato hated the cold. It brought back painful, bitter memories. She would always associate the cold with Antarctica, that cursed land where Man met God, and tried to challenge him.
The result was the cataclysm known as the Second Impact.
That was fifteen years ago. It was Mankind's first contact with the alien creatures known as Angels.
Fifeen years. Fifteen Angels. Two more remain, but today she was not hunting Angels.
Misato stayed in the cover of the trees, observing her target. She kept an eye on him using her thermal imaging goggles as he made his way purposefully down the forest path, heading towards the small logging town up ahead.
Misato's lips broke out into a thin smile directed at herself.
"Five years. I wonder Logan, was it long enough for you to forget?" she asked no one in particular as she stowed away her goggles. She stood up as quietly as she could, trying not to make a sound. She knew he was quite far away, but she knew he had inhuman hearing. There was no need to reveal her presence to him yet. Not until she could figure out what he was up to.
"You'll never make it in this business," he barked at her. "You're too soft. He drops a few names and you .."
Misato smirked at the memory. Look at me now, she thought to herself. Five years ago, when they had first met, she was a green Lieutenant and he was the stone cold bad ass that excited, yet scared her.
Now, she was Colonel Misato Katsuragi, NERV's Tactical Director, the woman who directed operations to destroy Angels. Though it had been a long time since she used her investigative skills, she was pleased to note that she wasn't rusty at all.
She stood up, quietly brushing the snow away from her specially made, insulated jumpsuit. Her hands quickly removed the annoying snow from her shoulders, where her blue-black hair hung loose. She supposed she should have tucked her hair in under her headgear, but she didn't bother. She was too busy hunting down the man they called the Wolverine.
She wanted this over with by tomorrow. She had two Children back in Japan, and there was no telling when the Sixteenth Angel would show up. Logan had better not put up a fight, she mused.
"Time for our worlds to collide again," Misato said as she made her way after him.
END.
Authors' Notes: Reprisal was the first ever complete fanfic I ever wrote. It also marked a shift of fandom, from X-Men to Evangelion. Work began in June 2001 and the final chapter "Jasmine Falls" was uploaded to FFN, April 2002.
To mark the release of X-Men 2 and the release of the special edition Eva DVDs. I am writing this chapter.
There was actually a sequel to Reprisal, a boardfic I did with hida_tomoe at hughjackman.20m.com back in 2001, but unfortunately it was lost forever. I probably won't re-write it, since it's just not the same without Tomoe's collaborating with me.
Have fun. The next Eva fic to be released by me would be "Damnation". Then I have to finsh A3I, and maybe work on my new Eva fic, "Fifth/Seventeenth"
