Argon Genesis: Evangelion
Authors note: The time when this fic occurs is a bit screwed up. Kaji has been killed and Areal hasn't shown up just yet. Misato isn't as sad about Kaji's death as she was in the series and has maintained her happy, if sloppy, self. Shinji isn't writhing in self hatred for things like Toji's injuries,
Chapter 4: Misconceptions
"Yes Rei, you were right to inform me of this. It may prove to be an interesting development and might require an alteration to the scenario. Thankyou, dismissed." Gendo returned to the terminal he was working at. Rei didn't move "Is there anything else Rei?" "Yes, I request permission to continue observing the third child's actions." 'This is odd' thought Gendo. "Request accepted Rei. Now I need to return to my work. Dismissed."

As Shinji was waking up the next morning Asuka was already busy. She was constructing a Shinji trap. It was a complex construction of strings and levers that, when the front door was opened, would provide a Tupperware container full of partially frozen 'Super Chili Ramen' that Misato had made and left in the fridge for some untold time. 'This', Asuka thought, 'will be extremely funny'. However the one thing that she hadn't counted on was that Shinji was becoming a sorcerer and that, the night before, he had been learning a shield spell.
Shinji opened the door.
Strings pulled and levers flipped.
A catapult like device launched.
Shinji who was feeling quite surprised instinctively yelled some words. If he was thinking about anything other than self preservation he would have briefly wondered why both real life and all the anime he watched had really weird incantations like "I call upon the light and dark to join and through conduit mine form a barrier of strength to protect me" the one he was uttering now. If he had though about it he would have felt rather silly.
Asuka was silently observing the display and to say the least was surprised when a large barrier of light, not unlike an AT field, appeared in front of Shinji and the Chili Ramen impacted against it. Before the light show finished she quickly fled to her room, hoping Shinji hadn't seen her. He hadn't.
The light faded and Shinji found himself in an empty room. Well, it was empty except for the things usually in it, a floor splattered with partially frozen Chili ramen, a large set up of strings and levers connected to a recently used catapult, himself of course and a burn mark across the floor where his shield had intersected it. Shinji did what came naturally, he began cleaning up.
Meanwhile, in her room, Asuka was curled up in the fetal position rocking back and forth experiencing somewhere between sadness, surprise and outright terror. 'What the hell? Is the third child just pretending to be my servant and is really trying to kill me? Did he see me? Is he going to come and kill me now? MAMA! Help me mama!'.
Shinji was occupying similar thoughts "Did Asuka see me? Will she thing I'm an angel? Will she try an kill me because she thinks that? Will I be able to clean up this mess before Misato wakes up?' The answer to that question was yes, but only just. This was however, because of the insane, evil and somehow quite funny nature of the universe, the worst time for her to come.
Misato walked in. She observed Shinji with a strange look on his face, she observed that Asuka wasn't around; she observed that most of the house was just as dirty as she had left last night and the only presentable room was the living room, adjacent to Shinji's. She deduced that this meant that Shinji had been doing something other than cleaning and had only just started just before. This was of not the case as Shinji had been cleaning up the stains in the living room from the moment that he got up. "So what happened here Shinji?"
"Maybe you should ask Asuka about it" Shinji said hopefully.
Misato proceeded to the domain of the Demon/Devil Girl. "Asuka, Shinji was acting a bit strange, could you tell me what happened?" Asuka then replied in a voice which Misato had never heard before "n no Misato, nothing happened, Shinji is just fine I think". The voice was, of course, conveying fear unfortunately Misato mistook it for embarrassment. This decision was aided by her belief that the reason that Asuka was avoiding looking at her was because she was blushing. Misato began to get the idea that Shinji and Asuka's relationship was a lot closer that it really was and Misato, being the person she is, wanted to 'help them along'.
Now Asuka thinks Shinji is an angel and is going to try and kill her. Shinji thinks Asuka is trying to kill him because she thinks he is an angel. Gendo really has no idea what to think but thinks it will be dangerous to the scenario. AND Misato thinks the two pilots are in love.
'This won't lead to anything good' thought the author.
Shinji flipped a few pages is his grimoure arcane. In prominent golden letters there were displayed the words 'Combat Magic' and all was right with his world. Some very. disturbing thoughts filled his mind and somewhere Gendo Ikari sneezed.
_-_-_
During the next week things didn't change much, well, they did. Shinji began learning combat magic and testing out some of the less destructive in those secluded mountain places where he hangs out. Asuka began avoiding Shinji more than normal and in school pretended he didn't exist. Her synch scores were had stopped falling at 65%, Shinji's had risen to 71% and Rei, well she hasn't really done much yet so hers are the same as always, about 63%. On a apparently unrelated subject the infamous commander had appeared to have had a wide range of accidents in and around NERV. Somehow he had slipped on a puddle of LCL, fallen down the stairs to terminal dogma and had been present when his office was hit by a 'Very localised seismic phenomenon'.
_-_-_
Was that any good? Does anyone have any good ideas?
Oh well.
