Shattered Soul Chapter 2: Power of the Oblivion ===================================
The drive to NERV wasn't bad. No planes were attacking....the angel wasn't moving....and Misato was trying to apologize.
"Shinji I am really sorry....I shouldn't have thought that you would....well you know" Misato stated while averting her eyes.
Shinji snorted. "Don't worry.....I can understand. Someone you just met orders you into the back seat and then takes off his shirt.....who wouldn't think that?" Shinji voiced dropped as he said it and by the end it lost most of his good cheer. "Story of my life....." he muttered.
Misato didn't catch it as she was so relieved that he wasn't going to hold it against her. The drop in his tone did make her think though. 'What has he seen in his life?' Misato wondered as she looked out the window to see the approaching entrance to NERV.
Shinji pulled the car to a stop and looked back a Misato, "Now what?"
Misato handed him a card. "Run that through the reader and wait for the doors to open. Then just drive on in."
Shinji took the card and swiped it through the reader. He waited for a little bit and then was going to try again when her heard a loud ding and the doors started to open. Shinji just shrugged and pulled forward into the elevator. He did get a little nervous when the car stopped moving forward and was about to comment on it when he felt the car shudder and realized that the car was being clamped down.
Misato was actually anxious for this part. She really wanted to see Shinji's reaction to the geofront. After all....when flying over it from above on the car train, it did look really spectacular.
As the train exited the small tunnel and started its long journey around the ceiling towards Central Dogma, Misato took the time to watch the young boy and gauge his reactions. Shinji showed none. Except from a slight rising of the eyebrows, he made no movement at all. Misato just sighed and waited for the car to come to a halt.
Misato was starting to find the whole trip rather boring and wanted to start a conversation. She still had to make it up to Shinji for the really big misunderstanding on his part, even if he didn't blame her. After all, she might find something useful to torment him later about.
"So....." Misato began, "want to tell me a little bit about yourself?"
"There is not much to tell," Shinji replied.
"Surely you must have something to talk about?" Misato tried again, hoping that he would take the bait.
"Not really." Shinji replied in that same creepy monotone.
"Fine if your not going to cough up any information, then I will just have to try and dig it out of you," Misato replied while trying to sit up without injuring herself any further. "Where did you learn first aid?"
Shinji smirked, "That first aid if you want to call it that was self taught."
Now this surprised Misato. You would think he learned it to take care of someone or because his family made him study it. 'Why would he need to teach himself first aid?' Misato thought. Before she could give voice to her opinions or questions, the car train began to slow down throwing both of forward slightly.
"We're here," Shinji said with no amount of joy or any other emotion. She almost imagined it could be a computers voice.
Just as Misato had requested, there was a medical team waiting for her when she arrived... Shinji stood off to the side, almost looking bored; as he watched the medical team check her over.
"You need some stitches Captain Katsuragi. We recommend that you come with us to the hospital," the medical attendants said.
"Sorry boys, but I have to deliver this cutie to the Commander," Misato said as she wrapped her arms around one Shinji Ikari. If she was waiting for a reaction or any type of response she was sorely disappointed. She sighed, "I'll come by for the stitches after I finish my shift and get Shinji up to the commander, fair enough?"
The attendants weren't happy about it but couldn't really argue either. They simply packed up their equipment and went on their way.
"Well lets go Shinji, we have places to go and people to see," Misato stated as she started to walk down a seemingly random corridor.
Shinji simply followed and observed what was going on around him. Misato seemed to be leading him on a wild goose chase to find.....the middle of the Earth. She took a left and a right at absolutely no preordained time and sometimes they simply had to turn around because they ended up in a tool closet. He was seriously wondering what was going on in her head when they turned around and ended up right back in the parking lot.
Misato was worried. She was sure....almost that the last turn should have taken them to the bridge....maybe. She was sure that this was the way.....please be the right way..... It wasn't. She slid to the floor and sighed. She was slightly surprised when Shinji slid down with her with a genuine smile. She was about to ask when Shinji interrupted her.
"You're amusing. That little dialog was really amusing. In all honesty, you're not that bad to be around," Shinji replied before Misato could ask that question.
Misato was a little angered by that statement. Then she realized her little internal dialog wasn't so internal. She did have to admit that it was kind of funny. She was about to strike up conversation when someone came striding up to where Shinji and Misato were sitting.
"Lost again Misato?" asked an irritated voice.
Misato cringed as she looked up at her friend. "Sorry Ritsuko. I still have a hard time trying to find my way around here," Misat stood up as she went to continue, "The place is biult like a maze. How anyonw can find their way is beyond me."
Dr. Akagi sighed, "Then there must be quite a few things beyond you Misatl." She held up her hand as Misato was about to retort. "Later, is this him?" she asked while looking at Shinji who actually appeared to be asleep.
"Yep!" Misato replied happily. "Picked him up in the middle of the street right before he was blown to bits." Misato was actually quite pleased with that. Saving the life of the Commander's son would probably warrant a promotion.
"That wouldn't have happened if you weren't late to the train station." Ritsuko again cut off Misato before she could respond. She then smiled evily, "Wake up up your new lover and lets go."
"HEY!!!! Ritsuko that was uncalled for!!!" Misato fumed. She was about to nudge Shinji awake when she found he was already awake and simply waiting for them all to go.
"Well then lets go1" Misato stated as she started to walk down a random corridor. She was stopped by a small cough from Ritsuko.
"Misato.....we're going this way," the exasperated doctor said.
"Right.....sorry," she replied while looking at Shinji. His face was back to that same old mask with no emotions. 'Damn, what do I need to do to get a rise out of him,' she thought.
The happy group wandered down the corridors until finally Ritusko opened one that required a key card. As they stepped through, there were no lights so they simply continued in darkness until they all stopped in what Shinji assumed was the middle of the hall.
As the lights flickered on, Shinji felt Misato jump slightly as if something startled her. As Shinji turned to follow her line of sight, he came face to face with.....a really big Barney. Well more like a giant purple robot. Misato must have been looking right at it when the lights came back on.
He would have said something if the alarm claxons hadn't started blaring again.
Authors Notes:
Sorry to stop there but I can only write in small doses without forcing the story. I am still not sure how I want the next scene to go so I am going to stop it here. Thanks for everyone who reviews. It is kinda hard to believe that people actually like this story. Anyway bye.
