~ On to the Third Chapter ~

Shinji slowly made his way towards school. His first day back since Shamshel attacked. Shinji started to look at the sky with a vacant expression.
/What is wrong Shinji?/ asked Rei. /I'm just not looking forward to going back. I think I probably scared a lot of people last time/ he said still looking up at the sky. Rei didn't say anything more, but he suddenly received a feeling of pity from her. "Don't do that! I don't need any pity!" he yelled turning his head to look her in the eyes. Rei gave a slight smile and nodded her head. Shinji just smiled back and then started to stare at the blue sky above. When they arrived at the school, Toji and Kensuke were waiting for them. "What now?" asked Shinji starring Toji down. Toji, surprising Shinji, didn't back down. "I'm sorry about the way I acted before," he said bowing. Shinji smiled and clapped Toji on the back. "Hey as long as you can consider me a friend, I accept your apology," said Shinji. Then all three boys started to talk about random things that had no basis on the current war. Rei tuned out and headed into the building for class.

~Office of Commander Ikari~

Ritsuko walked forward with a folder as usual. She handed it to Gendo and took a quick look before smiling. He started to laugh a little before he controlled his laughter and looked at Ritsuko.
"So they are ready to move Adam here. About time," he said smiling up at the blonde bombshell.
"What are you going to do with the embryo?" she asked.
"Nothing," he replied bringing his hands in front of his face for his Commander pose.
"What do you mean nothing?" asked Ritsuko.
"This Adam that they are delivering is actually a fake. If you look at the Magi radar through my office, you will notice two type blue patterns at all times," he said from behind his fists.
"Two? I though Rei was the only one?"
"Rei is cloned from Lilith and Yui, but Shinji was injected with angel blood from the father of humanity, Adam," said Gendo.
"Shinji is Adam! Isn't it dangerous to let him sync with Unit 01?" she squealed.
"Not necessarily. Both Shinji and Rei have enough human DNA to keep them both from starting Third Impact early, however if Shinji were to move towards a more Angel like DNA strand, I would have to kill him, sadly," said Gendo giving a twisted smile. Ritsuko visibly shook with fear as Gendo started to laugh again.
"So are we still performing reactivation on Unit 00 tomorrow?" asked Gendo.
"Yes, we believe that Rei is ready," said Ritsuko starting to calm. "Are we still on for tonight?" she asked. Gendo sighed heavily and turned towards the doctor.
"I guess," he said smiling as he saw the look of relief come across her features.

~School~

Shinji was sitting next to the basketball looking up at Rei as she sat against the fence of the pool area. Rei turned towards him and found him looking into her eyes. Rei quickly turned and blushed a little as she looked down at the ground. Shinji smiled and turned back towards his new friends. Toji and Kensuke were both starring at the girls.
"Man their breasts are so big," said Toji as he started to get a nose bleed. Kensuke quickly followed his example as they both looked at Shinji.
"So who were you starring at?" they both asked moving closer to Shinji.
"Rei," he said turning back to the blue haired goddess.
"Why Rei?" asked Toji looking up at the girl.
"I don't really know why, I just find her very attractive," he said turning back towards his friends.
"Whatever man," said Toji shrugging. They soon found themselves running around the track before they had to leave.
"So are you going to ask her out or something?" asked Toji looking over at Shinji.
"I don't know maybe," he replied looking ahead at the track. Suddenly, he stopped and looked up at the sky. He then looked back down at Toji and Kensuke and smiled.
"Sorry," he said before he started to run again. 'Tomorrow is the day of the 5th,' he told himself. In the locker room inside Rei looked up at the ceiling and then nodded. She still had to worry about reactivation tomorrow, besides Shinji should be able to handle it alone.

~NERV, Time of Reactivation~

Rei was sitting in the locker with her plug suit on. She heard a knock on the door and looked up to find Shinji walking in.
"Good luck in your test today," said Shinji in a tired dead tone.
"What is wrong Shinji?" asked Rei slowly standing up in the skin tight suit.
"Suppressants," he replied before giving her a cold dead smile. Rei just nodded and then started to walk forward. She stopped just in front of Shinji and stared into his eyes. He stared back and then Rei leaned forward and hugged him. Shinji froze and looked down at her head.
"R-Rei what are you... doing?" he asked.
"Thanking you and wishing you luck the best of luck in your battle," she said before walking out of locker room. Shinji stared at the door for a moment before he finally smiled. He quickly walked out and found Misato in the observation room. They looked down at the orange form of Eva Unit 00. They listened to the techs talk over a speaker as they connected Rei to Unit 00.
"Rei, are you ready?" asked Gendo.
"Yes sir," she replied.
"Initiate primary contact," said Gendo pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
"Main power, contact," Ritsuko commanded. As they were speaking, Shinji was suddenly flooded with a memory from Rei. He watched as Unit 00 went berserk and felt her fear as it started to smash the window that his father stood behind. He felt her pain when the plug launched out of Eva and smacked the ceiling. He continued to fell pain as it fell to the ground. He felt a warm sticky substance stream down his face, and then felt love when he saw his father had rescued Rei. He opened his eyes when he heard an alarm sound.
"All personnel, level one yellow alert," said a female voice as people began to run around. Shinji quickly made his way to the locker room. He changed into his plug suit and headed for the cage. He was soon tasting blood and seeing a rainbow of colors as he connected to Eva. He felt himself move towards the catapult and then felt g's press on his body.
/So that's where you'll come out/ said a soft voice in song.
"I'm getting a high energy reading within the target!" yelled Aoba.
"What?!" screamed Misato.
"It's accelerating on its periphery! Starting to converge!" he yelled again.
"No! Shinji look out!" she screamed as Unit 01 appeared at the surface. Shinji quickly jumped out of the way but was to late as the beam blasted off his Eva's arm. He screamed in pain and looked down at his arm. He couldn't feel or move the damn thing! He headed straight for an elevator and passed out when he felt head on his upper back. When Eva 01 finally made it back to the cage the plug was exposed and the Eva's blood was leaking inside some of the cracks. While they tried to reach Shinji, he was undergoing a transformation inside the plug. The Eva's blood hand touched him and his hair had began to change colors. Suddenly, Shinji's mind was assaulted with images of someone's past. He quickly recognized the reflection of the person when they looked in the mirror.
"Mother!" he screamed out.
{Who are you?} questioned a familiar voice.
{Mom, it's me Shinji} he replied. In his subconscious they both hugged tightly and started to cry. That was when he slowly woke up and looked around. He had full mobility of his arm again and felt a slight sting on his neck. He looked around a little more before he eyes stopped on a head of blue sitting next to him.
"Hi Rei," he said silently.
"Hello Shinji," she replied.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"Misato has come up with a plan to take out Ramiel. We are to go to Mt. Futago so we can perform a sniper operation. It was determined that you are to be the gunner while I do defense," she said. "Here's a new one," she said throwing Shinji a new plug suit. He quickly rose out of the bed and put on the suit. He started to walk away when he got dizzy and began to fall. Rei tried to catch him but ended up helping him down to the ground. Rei looked up while Shinji looked down. He had landed on top of her, his hands grasping her breasts. Shinji quickly rose up from the ground.
"Sorry," he said grabbing her hand and helping her up. She just continued to look down at the ground as Shinji made his way towards the door. Rei followed and then ran into his back. She looked up to find him looking at himself in the mirror.
"What is wrong now Shinji?" she asked.
"My muscles are bigger. My eyes are a lighter shade of blue and my hair is more red then black now," he said reaching up and grabbing a lock. Rei looked at him for a second before she just continued on out the door. Shinji quickly followed and looked out the window of the Geofront.
"Are you sure they are suppose to come by this way?" asked Toji as he, Kensuke, and some of their other classmates watched the landscape for any sign of the Eva.
"I took a peek at my dad's schedules, they are suppose to leave the base at this time," replied Kensuke.
"Look the mountain is moving!" yelled one of the boys pointing. They all looked over that way as Unit 01 moved into position. Everyone started to cheer as another Eva appeared next to Shinji's.
"That must Ayanami's!" yelled Kensuke.
"All right! Go kick some ass!" yelled Toji as the Eva's walked by. Shinji looked over and gave them a peace sign. The boys went nuts and started to cheer louder. Shinji just laughed in his plug.
{Are those your friends Shinji?} asked a voice. He quickly looked around his plug before the memory of when he passed out came back.
{Yep, that's Toji and Kensuke} he replied.
{They are very animated} Yui said back. Shinji started to laugh.
"What is so funny Shinji?" asked a soft voice as Rei's face appeared in front of him.
"Just Toji and Kensuke acting like monkeys," he said as they crept ever closer to Mt. Futago.

~Later that night, before Operation Yashima~

Shinji and Rei were sitting on scaffolding waiting for the operation to start. They were both starring out at the large moon in front of them. Shinji was trying to figure out why his body had changed while Rei tried to figure out why she had hugged him before. They didn't talk, they really didn't have a reason to. Suddenly, both of their watches on the plug suits started to beep. They both rose up and started to head for the plugs.
"Good bye Shinji," Rei said silently.
"Don't say that, it's too sad," he replied before closing the plug up.

~Operation Yashima~

Shinji pulled the trigger just as Ramiel fired his own beam. The beams met just above a lake and then spun around each other. They both exploded just behind each of their own targets. The Angel started to cool down; while Shinji's gun started to cool as well.
"Damn Shinji buy some time!" yelled Misato.
"Yeah, of course!" he yelled grabbing some spare cable and moving the Eva to slid further down the mountain. Suddenly, the Angel started to charge up another beam.
"Damn he's early!" yelled Misato. The beam started to lance out towards Shinji when suddenly Rei appeared in front of him. She blocked the beam from hitting him and the shield started to melt away.
"Damn it! Hurry up!" yelled Shinji. The shield completely disintegrated and Rei stuck out the hands of the Eva blocking the beam some more. Shinji watched in horror as her Eva started to bubble and melt in places.
"Fire Shinji! Fire!" screamed Misato. Shinji pulled the trigger again and watched in satisfaction when it split through Ramiel.
/Damn... it/ came the weak reply as the angel slowly fell to the ground dead. Unit 00 fell against Shinji and Unit 01. He quickly willed the Eva to grab the plug out of Unit 00. When it was on the ground Shinji opened the super heated plug with his hands and was rewarded with serious burns starting to appear on his hands. He opened the plug and found Rei lying limply in it.
"Rei! Rei are you okay?" he asked reaching out and shaking her. Her eyes flared open and she looked up at Shinji. She gave him one of her cute rare smiles and he smiled back.
"Thank god your okay Rei," he said helping her up out of the plug. He threw her arm around his shoulder and started to help her back to the make shift base. When they arrived they were quickly shown to the locker room where they were able to change into better clothes. When they finished Shinji and Rei stood next to each other and then walked to Misato's car. She took them home and constantly talked about how they did a wonderful job. When they arrived back home Misato drank until she passed out in her bed. Rei and Shinji continued to watch TV until Shinji suddenly took off his shirt. Rei gave him a strange look.
"I was hot," he replied. After another half an hour Rei looked over to find Shinji asleep. She reached out to shake him and when her bare hand came in contact with his skin there was a shock of energy and a bright light came off their bodies. Both of the children suddenly back up from each other, breathing hard.
"What the heck was that?" Shinji wheezed out.
"I don't know but it felt very good," gasped Rei walking forward. She quickly sat in his lap and the energy passed between their bodies again. They hugged each other tighter until they both fell asleep.

~Office of Commander Ikari~

"What are you doing this late at night?" asked Ritsuko as she walked into his office.
"I was looking into why Shinji changed. I think I found the answer," he said looking at his computer.
"What happened?" she asked.
"I don't know all the details, but when the Eva blood hit Shinji inside the plug his body took it in and changed. Instead of being 25%, he's now 50% angel. I'm going to have to up his dosage of suppressants."
"So he's on Rei's level of Angel now?" asked Ritsuko.
"Yes he is," responded Gendo.
"What does that mean for us?" she asked.
"I don't know. However, we need to prepare for the arrival of the second child," he said.
"So Unit 02 and Asuka are coming to Japan?" asked Ritsuko.
"Yep," he responded. Suddenly alarms began to scream around the Gendo's office. Gendo took a look at his screen and started to sweat.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Shinji and Rei are now both 75% angel now," he said. Ritsuko stared in shock as the alarms died down and two blue targets continued to grow in strength.

There's Chapter 3 hope you enjoy it! What's going to happen with Shinji and Rei becoming more and more angelic. Only time will tell. And what will happen when Asuka shows up in Japan and sees Shinji and Rei acting very familiar with each other? Until Next time!
