Neon Genesis Evangelion: Tempting the Serpent
Disclaimer: I don't own Eva.
A/N: this is short and as of yet, unfinished. Reviews will determine if I write more, so please R/R. I know this angle is not 100% original, but everyone eventually writes one of these, I guess. Thanks. My other Fic, will be updated soon.
He'd grown used to getting away from it. Getting away from what, he didn't know. Life in general, most likely, pain, especially. But that was years ago, and now, he'd found a different way from pain, while still existing in it. For pain must exist in order to live.
The piercing alarm woke him up out of a sound sleep. His ears ached hearing it. She was already awake. Preparing breakfast, for a rare change. She'd stopped to listen. The alarm was usually followed by a storm warning, a tsunami warning, something simple. But the second the phrase sounded, he felt his blood freeze. He'd felt odd that morning as he stirred in sleep, his subconscious must have know somehow-
"A special state of Emergency Has been declared for Tokyo-3 and all areas within 15 miles. Please report to your local evacuation shelter. Further Directions can be found on radio station.."
"Not possible."
A phone rang on the far side of the apartment. A semi-cheerful voice answered it, and quickly turned angry. "Mien gott?! No! Not possible. I refuse. On what grounds are you---you're insane. Yes. I'd rather sit in the shelter like a NORMAL person. What?! No!" there was a long pause. "Fine."
Shinji heard the phone being hung up with a gentle click. A second later, there was a loud tearing sound, followed by the sound of something relatively heavy hitting the wall. He shook his head, and slowly left his room, only wearing a pair of shorts. "Asuka?"
She lay on the floor, her hair uncombed and drifting over her face, shoulders hunched. "Its happening again."
"What? What are you talking about?" he thought he'd been dreaming, but a second battery of alarms sounded and the message repeated. "We should evacuate then. There's nothing we can do. Even if there was-."
"That phone call was from NERV. They say there is something."
"NERV? But, it was destroyed. Unless, like everything else..."
"It was reformed. They want us-to-." She hadn't looked up, and her shoulders shuddered as she spoke. "I can't do this Shinji-never again."
He moved to her side, and slid an arm around her shoulders. "I know Asuka, I know. I can't either, but what choice do we have? There are no more EVAs. NERV must be safer any way. Lillith isn't there anymore. We'll see what they want."
Asuka slowly lifted her head and looked at him. "Put some clothes. You look like an idiot in those." ---
Getting in was easy. What NERV had been, was no more. It was still a fortress, but of far less stature. No card entry, and the access to the Geofront had been drastically altered. Central Dogma remained quite the same, aside for some minor changes, Maya, Hyuuga and Aoba were there, just as they always used to be. Neither of the two commanders was anywhere in sight.
Shinji moved behind Maya, Asuka hanging close. "Is-is it an Angel?"
"As impossible as it seems, its reading blue."
"What could we possibly do?!" Asuka protested. "We aren't children any more, and there's one even bigger issue-There are no EVAs!"
Shinji seemed to smile at her protest. "I'm never doing that again. I'm not getting in an EVA, even if there is one."
Maya turned in her chair. "What other choice is there?"
The two former pilots stared at each other. "Shinji?"
