Shinji-gelion
Chapter 9
Revelation
Slowly the liquid came up and surronded her. She didn't like it in her Eva. That and it had been awhile. She wasn't required to go out during the last angel attack. Asuka and Shinji had defeated that angel with some proficiency. The lcl filled quickly coming up to her chest. It was strange being in an Eva. It provoked thoughts and even more so it felt like another presence was there. The fluid hit her neck and then she was completely engulfed, reluctantly she breathed in taking the liquid in herself. The smell hit her immediately. Blood was all around her, it was not red but it was very close. What exactly comprised the Eva's? They were alive partially as well as machine. Not much was reported upon the mettalic beasts they piloted. She wondered how Shinji was doing inside his Eva. As the thoughts began to mix and swirl in her mind she heard questions being asked inside her head and soon became lost in thought.
"Just you wait, third child. Today I put your synch ratio to shame."
"You talk the talk Asuka-san, but can you back up your words?" Shinji was replied with a 'hmph'.
"Well just see now, won't we?" Shinji rolled his eyes and flicked a button turning off her portrait. It didn't help having a distraction. The Eva was a very unique place and in his mind it was dangerous. He had to be careful this time in his Eva. The last time he started to feel like he was drifiting away from his body. His thoughts were starting to go random. He knew what would happen next. He would hear the voices. No he wasn't crazy. There were voices in the Eva that made him think and asked questions about his thoughts. From what he could tell, they weren't malicous but at the same time he was weary of them. Rei must be going through something similar. He debated to talk to her through the Eva but after a time decided agaisn't it. It was better to concentrate on the task at hand so it could be over with soon.
The synch's went up immediately as soon as the circuits connected. As usual Shinji took the lead staying steady at 75% synch. Ritsuko knew this to be high, but not for the third child. Rei was coming in stronger then ever this time though. She was holding on to 70% synch and almost looked like it might get higher. Asuka was the lowest of the three but climbing slowly at 60%.
"Asuka, anything wrong happen today?" Ritusko asked to Asuka.
"No, nothing. I'm quite fine." The synch wavered abit jumping down a percent and going back up it. Ritsuko raised her brow.
"Keep trying then, your at 60% right now."
"WHAT!?" Asuka blurted out. "I should be higher. I..." The channel went dead as Asuka took on a serious expression. It moved up to 61% right away.
Stupid. This was all so stupid. How was the third child beating her? Her Eva was suppose to be for her, not agaisn't her. It was the morning that was throwing her off. She wasn't concentrating right. If it hadn't of happened she would have been fine.
Misato watched half nervous. The last synch test wasn't the most wonderful thing. When Shinji's synch ratio had climbed it became scary. He had almost bonded with the Eva. She prayed in her mind that he didn't let that happen again.
Gendo walked up to one of the staff monitoring some equipment.
"Seems the first and third child are close in thier synch ratios." The staff member looked up at Gendo.
"...Yes it seems so."
"Interesting. Have you checked the ciruits recently?" The staff member nodded nervously, surprised Gendo was talking to him.
"Just a minute ago..."
"Check them again." He almost near jumped at Gendo's words.
"...Yes..." The staff member made his way to the circuit panels to check them over.
The controls to the ciruit panels were here though. Gendo had been paying attention to Shinji and Rei as of late. His son had become quite close to Rei. This didn't change his plans directly but it warranted his attention. If the two children wanted to be bonded together he could grant thier wish. Smiling he opened the circuits to connect Rei and Shinji's Eva. Then walked away into the shadows.
Pain. Suddenly he felt pain. It seered through him. Something else was here with him. More then the voices now. It was in pain as well. What was it? He struggled gritting his teeth barring it.
"Synch ratio dropping on the first and third child. It's going down rapidly."
"What the hell happened?" Misato demanded her panick rising.
"The circuits changed somehow they.." Ritsuko stopped dead sentence. "Shinji's and Rei's Evas have been connected." Ritsuko wispered.
"No! We they won't be able to seperate thier thoughts. Were going to lose them!" Misato screamed rushing over the ciruit panel.
"Don't Misato! We can't stop it now. If you disconnect them now they will lose thier minds. We will have to wait and hope." Ritsuko sad gravely.
"SHIT!" Misato yelled at the air.
She jumped and twisted with the pain as it raked through her. She hadn't gone agaisn't her Eva, this shouldn't be happening. She wondered if it was going beserk again but the Eva didn't feel like it was in pain. She felt pain. There was another presence and it was invading her Eva. The Eva was trying to reject it and it was hurting her as a result.
"It hurts... It hurts Rei." Shinji said out loud gritting his teeth trying to call out to her in vain.
'It hurts too Shinji.' He heard a voice come back all around him. He stopped. Rei.
Rei stopped, it was Shinji. It suddenly made sense. Why the Eva was hurting her. It was trying to reject Shinji and Shinji was in her thoughts. It was trying to reject her as a result.
"REI! Are you there?"
'I'm here Shinji.'
"Synch ratio is going back up. Climbing fast, already hitting 80%. Both pilots have the same synch."
"What happened? Are they okay?" Misato asked worry still stricken in her.
"The pilots minds have bonded Misato. We still have to wait for them to seperate before we can close the circuit." Ritsuko looked around at the staff.
"Synch ratio climbing still. 85%."
Ritsuko began. "The question is..."
"90%. Still climbing."
"Who let that circuit through..."
"100%."
"And why did they do it."
"Synch steady at 110%. This is impossible. Both pilots have hit 110%." Misato couldn't make her mouth work. Instead she just stared waiting for what could happen next.
'Rei, it's you.' His thoughts rang out and echoed through the chamber. He became aware of the thoughts as well. He could hear them like she was saying them aloud.
'Yes, Shinji, it's me. I'm glad your okay.' Her thoughts came to him. It was like he was looking in her heart. He could feel her pain and joy.
Rei suddenly came alive with thoughts swarming in her mind. She was so relived to hear Shinji's voice. Or rather thoughts. She could hear his thoughts. Clear as if Shinji was speaking to her. She saw a flashback of when he first met her. He cried at seeing her. Seeing her pain. Determination swept over him and he decided to protect her.
Like almost watching a movie she watched him fight the angel. He was fighting for her. His mind was set to protect her. It was a burning need in him. When he fell the angel, he rushed back to see Rei. Desperately getting out of the Eva and then shaking uncontrollably. Misato soon was there and he asked for Rei with just as much desperation. Waking up to see her, brought joy to his heart. Rei watched as he fell in love with her. His heart always filled with joy thinking of her. Always glad to see her and wanting to see her again when she was gone. It didn't happen immeditately but as he talked more with Rei and learned more about her he fell for her. She realized what she felt then. She knew know she felt the same, wanted the same and desired the same. Shinji loved her. When he met Asuka and heard she was moving in, he felt angry. Like she was imposing on him and Rei. Rei covered her mouth with her hand. This was love.
They had both fallen quiet when Rei's thoughts hit him like a torrent. It hit him like he was watching from her eyes but he could hear her thoughts. A flash and he was back watching her on the stretcher. She was almost crying in pain. The dread at hearing she was needed to pilot the Eva again. Shinji felt his emotions rise. Then suddenly confused as she was held by a boy. Him, it was him. Shinji held her tight crying on her. She then felt calm. Through great strain she tried to make out the words he was saying. It reliefed her strangely when he said he would protect her. That was the beginning. Seeing him in the hospital bed and talking he said more things that confused her but made her curios. As she stayed around him many things happened that she usually wasn't inculded in. More and more she talked and she told him things she didn't even talk about with herself. The day she met Touji and Kensuke she was so mad at him for hitting Shinji. Without even realizing fully what she was doing she kicked the boy. She was barely aware of it as her growing concern was to look over Shinji and make sure he was okay. It flashed again to when he was in the test chamber and his synch climbed. She felt like something was being taken away from her. She wanted it back, she couldn't lose it. She rushed and pulled the door open to the plug. Yanking Shinji out and stroking his face gently trying to wake him up. It was very important to her that he wake up. Shinji awoke and she felt her heart soar. Something inside her unlocked. As Shinji and her spent time, she felt herself open up to him. Then there was the kissing. So much feeling broughten to her. It was almost overwhelming. She had never felt such a thing but wanted to feel it again from now on. Finally when she was not clothed the one day and Shinji saw her, she had asked to stay with him that night. More then anything she had wanted to be with him at his side. For as long as she could remember. She slept that night, warm, comfortable protected and with the person she cared for. She wanted to return to Shinji what he felt for her and he was the only person on her mind. Shinji's eyes went wide. Rei was in love with him.
He only had to think it but he still said it with all his heart.
'Rei, I love you.' Rei beamed.
'I feel as you Shinji. I love you too.'
"Synch Ratio 120%. Both pilots are phasing out!"
"Phasing out!? What the fuck is that suppose to mean?" Misato was now in bitch mode. If people didn't answer her questions and without giving her bs. She was going to make some heads roll.
"They are losing thier state."
"God dammit! Someone fucking do something!" Misato cursed.
He felt light headed.
'Rei... I want to stay with you. I want always to be with you. Even after the angels are gone you will always be my angel.'
'I will never leave you Shinji. I want you to be with me as well. No one has made me feel as I feel for you. I don't anyone else to make me feel as I feel for you. I feel love for you and you alone.'
'I feel so close. Like I could fall asleep in your arms.'
'That would be very nice. I would enjoy that as well.'
"They're flat lining! Close the circuit!"
"We cant! We will lose them!" Ritusko banged her fists on the counter.
"I can't lose those two..." Misato wispered tears streaming down her cheeks.
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Silence...
Shinji saw himself move close to Rei, both he and Rei had thier arms open. They embraced kissing eachother passiontely. Slowly caressing the other tenderly and lovingly. For a long time niether said anything but held the other. Shinji kissed her again.
'They're waiting for us.'
'I know.'
'We should go back. We won't be seperated long.'
'Then let us delay further no longer.'
They parted and thier minds went back to normal.
"CLOSE THE CIRCUIT NOW!" Ritsuko barked the order.
"Circuit closing. Pulse still negative... Wait... It's climbing... Pulse normal. Both pilots are back."
Misato was already running to the Eva's.
"Shut down Asuka's before something else happens."
"Synch final at 65%."
Asuka watched everything shut off.
"What's going on?" Asuka asked confused and left in the dark about Shinji and Rei.
"Tests are over Asuka. Good work."
"I wasn't done yet. What was it at?" Asuka became frustrated.
"We'll talk after Asuka. There are more pressing matters right now. Watch yourself." Ritsuko warned gently. Asuka blinked. How was she supposed to watch herself? What was going on that she wasn't told about? She folded her arms. Well whatever, she was just going to go about her own buisness then. If it was important they would just have to include her.
The lcl drained rapidly around him and her. He could almost sense it draining around her as well. In a smooth motion both children got up and out of thier plugs. Medical crews were rushing to the scene but it looked like they were moving in slow motion. Hardly noticeable even. All Shinji saw was Rei. All Rei saw was Shinji. They walked towards eachother silently without words. When they were close they reached out eachothers arms and then held one another in a timeless embrace. The world crashed in around them but they still held eachother. Medical crews pulled out thier equipment scanning and tending to the children. Misato push and shoved trying to get closer.
Relief washed over her. They were safe. She was so happy they were safe.
Unseen in the shadows Gendo smiled.
"Everything is going to plan. Ha ha ha ha ha." Fuyutsuki rolled his eyes with a big sweat drop. What he did to deserve this he wondered again and again. He decided it would be best to escape right now as Gendo was laughing insanely again and it was nerv racking to be around someone who laughed insanely.
Asuka saw a big comotion but couldn't see who it was over. Shrugging she went on her way to the showers.
"I'm so glad you two are okay." Misato said concerned. There was no response. "HEY! Are you guys even listening to me?" Misato asked ignored by the pair. Shinji and Rei were smiling big hugging eachother.
"Hmph. Well I see you two are fine. Don't worry everyone. They're okay, I will take them home." The medical crews preformed a few more tests and then were on the way a bit confused but Misato insistingly told them it was okay.
When Misato had managed to get the last one to leave Ritsuko appeared walking towards them.
"Oh, Ritsuko." Ritsuko gave Misato a nod.
"They still hugging?" Ritsuko raised her brow noticing the two.
"I think there fused together. Eventually I will get them apart, even if I have to use a prog blade to do it." Misato grinned jokingly. Ritsuko shook her head at her in disbelief.
"Glad to see your still in good humour." Misato shrugged in response.
"Not like it was thier fault. I have my children back and i'm happy. What can I do for you though? It's not often you pay a visit in person." Ritsuko rolled her eyes.
"Because I am a very busy person. I know Kaji has arrived recently."
"So?" Misato lost the sweetness in her voice.
"Well, that circuit flipping today was not an accident. It might have been..."
"It doesn't matter." Shinji cut Ritsuko off. Ritsuko blinked looking to the third child.
"It doesn't matter?" Her brows came together in confusion. Rei answered her.
"No it doesn't matter. Something indescribable happened during that ciruit connection. I have never felt this close to Shinji as I do right now."
"I think it was for the better good. I am glad it happened." Shinji said in response to Rei. Misato stared at them.
"Please, your killing me. Enough of the romance. You could cut the air with a knife right now it's so thick." Misato stated. Shinji and Rei chuckled finally parting.
"What happened in there?" Ritusko asked her curiosity as a scientist gnawing at her.
"Wonderful things." Shinji answered. Rei and Shinji walked off together to the change rooms.
Misato and Ritsuko shared a look.
"I will get them home as soon as I can." Misato said coming back to reality. Ritsuko looked to her.
"That might be in their best interest." Misato waved as she ran off after the children.
Asuka watched as Shinji and Rei came into the change rooms. She had already finished showering and changing at this point.
"Geez you two are slow." They were hanging off the other again and neither one of them acknowledged Asuka. She grew impatient.
"Hey! Love dorks!" She called at them. Shinji was just smiling quietly and let go of Rei's hand reluctantly to go change. Rei seemed to have the same quiet cheeryness.
"Yeesh. I'm leaving before I get sick with whatever you guys got." Asuka left the room hastily.
She was almost ran over by a few teams of medical crews.
"MIEN GOTT! This isn't a highway!" She yelled after them clutching her chest. What the hell was thier problem? Misato then near ran into her.
"Oh, good Asuka. Get in the car asap. Shinji and Rei still in the change room?"
"Holy!! What is everyone on? Drugs. Ya, the diseased loved ones are in there still. Don't get to close, you might get infected." Asuka made a weary and sour face.
"Okay, good. Get to the car please. Well be there shortly." Misato went into the change room without delay. That was it. Everyone in Nerv had gone crazy. She rushed to the car in hopes she didn't get whatever was floating around.
Misato was relieved that the children were in thier own clothes and not joined at the hip. But they were looking at eachother and nodding once in a while and then laughing at other times. Misato raised her brow and moved close. She didn't hear anything.
"Are you two okay?" Shinji and Rei then sighed.
"Yes Misato. We're quite fine." Shinji said almost annoyed. Misato furrowed her brow.
"Well, were you guys wispering back there? Or have I gone deaf." Rei chuckled.
"Misato, you haven't gone crazy. I can almost read Shinji's thoughts. We only need to say a few words to know what the other will say." Rei smiled at Shinji.
"Your kidding."
"Rei doesn't kid often Misato." Shinji replied.
"Wait, wait, wait. Your telling me,... By reading eachothers looks and starting off a sentence you can tell what the other is going to say?"
"Our minds bonded in the Eva Misato. Our thoughts were mixed and interchanged. For a duration of time we shared everything possible with eachother." Misato blinked.
"Okay, I think it's time for us to go home. Both of you take an advil when they get there." Shinji laughed.
"Well talk for you benefit Misato." Rei chuckled with him.
"I desire to be home with you Shinji, the sooner the better." With that they all left towards the car.
Authors note: I know, I know. I am dragging it out. It's not intentional. There's so much to do with the new characters. Plus Touji and Kensuke have only been making rare appearances. So, I decided to end the chapter here and go into the new angel attack. Yes, I could make this go on even longer but I think it's time to advance the story.
Thanks for all the great ideas I got. Had some interesting things come in(minus the threesome idea.*shudders*)
So, :P next chapter I will get to the angel. And yes, Asuka will be included*coughtoadegreecough*
Anyway... On to the next chapter.
P.S. I laughed really hard reading the review about keeping me in a chair roped down. That was funnier then hell. Lol.
Chapter 9
Revelation
Slowly the liquid came up and surronded her. She didn't like it in her Eva. That and it had been awhile. She wasn't required to go out during the last angel attack. Asuka and Shinji had defeated that angel with some proficiency. The lcl filled quickly coming up to her chest. It was strange being in an Eva. It provoked thoughts and even more so it felt like another presence was there. The fluid hit her neck and then she was completely engulfed, reluctantly she breathed in taking the liquid in herself. The smell hit her immediately. Blood was all around her, it was not red but it was very close. What exactly comprised the Eva's? They were alive partially as well as machine. Not much was reported upon the mettalic beasts they piloted. She wondered how Shinji was doing inside his Eva. As the thoughts began to mix and swirl in her mind she heard questions being asked inside her head and soon became lost in thought.
"Just you wait, third child. Today I put your synch ratio to shame."
"You talk the talk Asuka-san, but can you back up your words?" Shinji was replied with a 'hmph'.
"Well just see now, won't we?" Shinji rolled his eyes and flicked a button turning off her portrait. It didn't help having a distraction. The Eva was a very unique place and in his mind it was dangerous. He had to be careful this time in his Eva. The last time he started to feel like he was drifiting away from his body. His thoughts were starting to go random. He knew what would happen next. He would hear the voices. No he wasn't crazy. There were voices in the Eva that made him think and asked questions about his thoughts. From what he could tell, they weren't malicous but at the same time he was weary of them. Rei must be going through something similar. He debated to talk to her through the Eva but after a time decided agaisn't it. It was better to concentrate on the task at hand so it could be over with soon.
The synch's went up immediately as soon as the circuits connected. As usual Shinji took the lead staying steady at 75% synch. Ritsuko knew this to be high, but not for the third child. Rei was coming in stronger then ever this time though. She was holding on to 70% synch and almost looked like it might get higher. Asuka was the lowest of the three but climbing slowly at 60%.
"Asuka, anything wrong happen today?" Ritusko asked to Asuka.
"No, nothing. I'm quite fine." The synch wavered abit jumping down a percent and going back up it. Ritsuko raised her brow.
"Keep trying then, your at 60% right now."
"WHAT!?" Asuka blurted out. "I should be higher. I..." The channel went dead as Asuka took on a serious expression. It moved up to 61% right away.
Stupid. This was all so stupid. How was the third child beating her? Her Eva was suppose to be for her, not agaisn't her. It was the morning that was throwing her off. She wasn't concentrating right. If it hadn't of happened she would have been fine.
Misato watched half nervous. The last synch test wasn't the most wonderful thing. When Shinji's synch ratio had climbed it became scary. He had almost bonded with the Eva. She prayed in her mind that he didn't let that happen again.
Gendo walked up to one of the staff monitoring some equipment.
"Seems the first and third child are close in thier synch ratios." The staff member looked up at Gendo.
"...Yes it seems so."
"Interesting. Have you checked the ciruits recently?" The staff member nodded nervously, surprised Gendo was talking to him.
"Just a minute ago..."
"Check them again." He almost near jumped at Gendo's words.
"...Yes..." The staff member made his way to the circuit panels to check them over.
The controls to the ciruit panels were here though. Gendo had been paying attention to Shinji and Rei as of late. His son had become quite close to Rei. This didn't change his plans directly but it warranted his attention. If the two children wanted to be bonded together he could grant thier wish. Smiling he opened the circuits to connect Rei and Shinji's Eva. Then walked away into the shadows.
Pain. Suddenly he felt pain. It seered through him. Something else was here with him. More then the voices now. It was in pain as well. What was it? He struggled gritting his teeth barring it.
"Synch ratio dropping on the first and third child. It's going down rapidly."
"What the hell happened?" Misato demanded her panick rising.
"The circuits changed somehow they.." Ritsuko stopped dead sentence. "Shinji's and Rei's Evas have been connected." Ritsuko wispered.
"No! We they won't be able to seperate thier thoughts. Were going to lose them!" Misato screamed rushing over the ciruit panel.
"Don't Misato! We can't stop it now. If you disconnect them now they will lose thier minds. We will have to wait and hope." Ritsuko sad gravely.
"SHIT!" Misato yelled at the air.
She jumped and twisted with the pain as it raked through her. She hadn't gone agaisn't her Eva, this shouldn't be happening. She wondered if it was going beserk again but the Eva didn't feel like it was in pain. She felt pain. There was another presence and it was invading her Eva. The Eva was trying to reject it and it was hurting her as a result.
"It hurts... It hurts Rei." Shinji said out loud gritting his teeth trying to call out to her in vain.
'It hurts too Shinji.' He heard a voice come back all around him. He stopped. Rei.
Rei stopped, it was Shinji. It suddenly made sense. Why the Eva was hurting her. It was trying to reject Shinji and Shinji was in her thoughts. It was trying to reject her as a result.
"REI! Are you there?"
'I'm here Shinji.'
"Synch ratio is going back up. Climbing fast, already hitting 80%. Both pilots have the same synch."
"What happened? Are they okay?" Misato asked worry still stricken in her.
"The pilots minds have bonded Misato. We still have to wait for them to seperate before we can close the circuit." Ritsuko looked around at the staff.
"Synch ratio climbing still. 85%."
Ritsuko began. "The question is..."
"90%. Still climbing."
"Who let that circuit through..."
"100%."
"And why did they do it."
"Synch steady at 110%. This is impossible. Both pilots have hit 110%." Misato couldn't make her mouth work. Instead she just stared waiting for what could happen next.
'Rei, it's you.' His thoughts rang out and echoed through the chamber. He became aware of the thoughts as well. He could hear them like she was saying them aloud.
'Yes, Shinji, it's me. I'm glad your okay.' Her thoughts came to him. It was like he was looking in her heart. He could feel her pain and joy.
Rei suddenly came alive with thoughts swarming in her mind. She was so relived to hear Shinji's voice. Or rather thoughts. She could hear his thoughts. Clear as if Shinji was speaking to her. She saw a flashback of when he first met her. He cried at seeing her. Seeing her pain. Determination swept over him and he decided to protect her.
Like almost watching a movie she watched him fight the angel. He was fighting for her. His mind was set to protect her. It was a burning need in him. When he fell the angel, he rushed back to see Rei. Desperately getting out of the Eva and then shaking uncontrollably. Misato soon was there and he asked for Rei with just as much desperation. Waking up to see her, brought joy to his heart. Rei watched as he fell in love with her. His heart always filled with joy thinking of her. Always glad to see her and wanting to see her again when she was gone. It didn't happen immeditately but as he talked more with Rei and learned more about her he fell for her. She realized what she felt then. She knew know she felt the same, wanted the same and desired the same. Shinji loved her. When he met Asuka and heard she was moving in, he felt angry. Like she was imposing on him and Rei. Rei covered her mouth with her hand. This was love.
They had both fallen quiet when Rei's thoughts hit him like a torrent. It hit him like he was watching from her eyes but he could hear her thoughts. A flash and he was back watching her on the stretcher. She was almost crying in pain. The dread at hearing she was needed to pilot the Eva again. Shinji felt his emotions rise. Then suddenly confused as she was held by a boy. Him, it was him. Shinji held her tight crying on her. She then felt calm. Through great strain she tried to make out the words he was saying. It reliefed her strangely when he said he would protect her. That was the beginning. Seeing him in the hospital bed and talking he said more things that confused her but made her curios. As she stayed around him many things happened that she usually wasn't inculded in. More and more she talked and she told him things she didn't even talk about with herself. The day she met Touji and Kensuke she was so mad at him for hitting Shinji. Without even realizing fully what she was doing she kicked the boy. She was barely aware of it as her growing concern was to look over Shinji and make sure he was okay. It flashed again to when he was in the test chamber and his synch climbed. She felt like something was being taken away from her. She wanted it back, she couldn't lose it. She rushed and pulled the door open to the plug. Yanking Shinji out and stroking his face gently trying to wake him up. It was very important to her that he wake up. Shinji awoke and she felt her heart soar. Something inside her unlocked. As Shinji and her spent time, she felt herself open up to him. Then there was the kissing. So much feeling broughten to her. It was almost overwhelming. She had never felt such a thing but wanted to feel it again from now on. Finally when she was not clothed the one day and Shinji saw her, she had asked to stay with him that night. More then anything she had wanted to be with him at his side. For as long as she could remember. She slept that night, warm, comfortable protected and with the person she cared for. She wanted to return to Shinji what he felt for her and he was the only person on her mind. Shinji's eyes went wide. Rei was in love with him.
He only had to think it but he still said it with all his heart.
'Rei, I love you.' Rei beamed.
'I feel as you Shinji. I love you too.'
"Synch Ratio 120%. Both pilots are phasing out!"
"Phasing out!? What the fuck is that suppose to mean?" Misato was now in bitch mode. If people didn't answer her questions and without giving her bs. She was going to make some heads roll.
"They are losing thier state."
"God dammit! Someone fucking do something!" Misato cursed.
He felt light headed.
'Rei... I want to stay with you. I want always to be with you. Even after the angels are gone you will always be my angel.'
'I will never leave you Shinji. I want you to be with me as well. No one has made me feel as I feel for you. I don't anyone else to make me feel as I feel for you. I feel love for you and you alone.'
'I feel so close. Like I could fall asleep in your arms.'
'That would be very nice. I would enjoy that as well.'
"They're flat lining! Close the circuit!"
"We cant! We will lose them!" Ritusko banged her fists on the counter.
"I can't lose those two..." Misato wispered tears streaming down her cheeks.
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Silence...
Shinji saw himself move close to Rei, both he and Rei had thier arms open. They embraced kissing eachother passiontely. Slowly caressing the other tenderly and lovingly. For a long time niether said anything but held the other. Shinji kissed her again.
'They're waiting for us.'
'I know.'
'We should go back. We won't be seperated long.'
'Then let us delay further no longer.'
They parted and thier minds went back to normal.
"CLOSE THE CIRCUIT NOW!" Ritsuko barked the order.
"Circuit closing. Pulse still negative... Wait... It's climbing... Pulse normal. Both pilots are back."
Misato was already running to the Eva's.
"Shut down Asuka's before something else happens."
"Synch final at 65%."
Asuka watched everything shut off.
"What's going on?" Asuka asked confused and left in the dark about Shinji and Rei.
"Tests are over Asuka. Good work."
"I wasn't done yet. What was it at?" Asuka became frustrated.
"We'll talk after Asuka. There are more pressing matters right now. Watch yourself." Ritsuko warned gently. Asuka blinked. How was she supposed to watch herself? What was going on that she wasn't told about? She folded her arms. Well whatever, she was just going to go about her own buisness then. If it was important they would just have to include her.
The lcl drained rapidly around him and her. He could almost sense it draining around her as well. In a smooth motion both children got up and out of thier plugs. Medical crews were rushing to the scene but it looked like they were moving in slow motion. Hardly noticeable even. All Shinji saw was Rei. All Rei saw was Shinji. They walked towards eachother silently without words. When they were close they reached out eachothers arms and then held one another in a timeless embrace. The world crashed in around them but they still held eachother. Medical crews pulled out thier equipment scanning and tending to the children. Misato push and shoved trying to get closer.
Relief washed over her. They were safe. She was so happy they were safe.
Unseen in the shadows Gendo smiled.
"Everything is going to plan. Ha ha ha ha ha." Fuyutsuki rolled his eyes with a big sweat drop. What he did to deserve this he wondered again and again. He decided it would be best to escape right now as Gendo was laughing insanely again and it was nerv racking to be around someone who laughed insanely.
Asuka saw a big comotion but couldn't see who it was over. Shrugging she went on her way to the showers.
"I'm so glad you two are okay." Misato said concerned. There was no response. "HEY! Are you guys even listening to me?" Misato asked ignored by the pair. Shinji and Rei were smiling big hugging eachother.
"Hmph. Well I see you two are fine. Don't worry everyone. They're okay, I will take them home." The medical crews preformed a few more tests and then were on the way a bit confused but Misato insistingly told them it was okay.
When Misato had managed to get the last one to leave Ritsuko appeared walking towards them.
"Oh, Ritsuko." Ritsuko gave Misato a nod.
"They still hugging?" Ritsuko raised her brow noticing the two.
"I think there fused together. Eventually I will get them apart, even if I have to use a prog blade to do it." Misato grinned jokingly. Ritsuko shook her head at her in disbelief.
"Glad to see your still in good humour." Misato shrugged in response.
"Not like it was thier fault. I have my children back and i'm happy. What can I do for you though? It's not often you pay a visit in person." Ritsuko rolled her eyes.
"Because I am a very busy person. I know Kaji has arrived recently."
"So?" Misato lost the sweetness in her voice.
"Well, that circuit flipping today was not an accident. It might have been..."
"It doesn't matter." Shinji cut Ritsuko off. Ritsuko blinked looking to the third child.
"It doesn't matter?" Her brows came together in confusion. Rei answered her.
"No it doesn't matter. Something indescribable happened during that ciruit connection. I have never felt this close to Shinji as I do right now."
"I think it was for the better good. I am glad it happened." Shinji said in response to Rei. Misato stared at them.
"Please, your killing me. Enough of the romance. You could cut the air with a knife right now it's so thick." Misato stated. Shinji and Rei chuckled finally parting.
"What happened in there?" Ritusko asked her curiosity as a scientist gnawing at her.
"Wonderful things." Shinji answered. Rei and Shinji walked off together to the change rooms.
Misato and Ritsuko shared a look.
"I will get them home as soon as I can." Misato said coming back to reality. Ritsuko looked to her.
"That might be in their best interest." Misato waved as she ran off after the children.
Asuka watched as Shinji and Rei came into the change rooms. She had already finished showering and changing at this point.
"Geez you two are slow." They were hanging off the other again and neither one of them acknowledged Asuka. She grew impatient.
"Hey! Love dorks!" She called at them. Shinji was just smiling quietly and let go of Rei's hand reluctantly to go change. Rei seemed to have the same quiet cheeryness.
"Yeesh. I'm leaving before I get sick with whatever you guys got." Asuka left the room hastily.
She was almost ran over by a few teams of medical crews.
"MIEN GOTT! This isn't a highway!" She yelled after them clutching her chest. What the hell was thier problem? Misato then near ran into her.
"Oh, good Asuka. Get in the car asap. Shinji and Rei still in the change room?"
"Holy!! What is everyone on? Drugs. Ya, the diseased loved ones are in there still. Don't get to close, you might get infected." Asuka made a weary and sour face.
"Okay, good. Get to the car please. Well be there shortly." Misato went into the change room without delay. That was it. Everyone in Nerv had gone crazy. She rushed to the car in hopes she didn't get whatever was floating around.
Misato was relieved that the children were in thier own clothes and not joined at the hip. But they were looking at eachother and nodding once in a while and then laughing at other times. Misato raised her brow and moved close. She didn't hear anything.
"Are you two okay?" Shinji and Rei then sighed.
"Yes Misato. We're quite fine." Shinji said almost annoyed. Misato furrowed her brow.
"Well, were you guys wispering back there? Or have I gone deaf." Rei chuckled.
"Misato, you haven't gone crazy. I can almost read Shinji's thoughts. We only need to say a few words to know what the other will say." Rei smiled at Shinji.
"Your kidding."
"Rei doesn't kid often Misato." Shinji replied.
"Wait, wait, wait. Your telling me,... By reading eachothers looks and starting off a sentence you can tell what the other is going to say?"
"Our minds bonded in the Eva Misato. Our thoughts were mixed and interchanged. For a duration of time we shared everything possible with eachother." Misato blinked.
"Okay, I think it's time for us to go home. Both of you take an advil when they get there." Shinji laughed.
"Well talk for you benefit Misato." Rei chuckled with him.
"I desire to be home with you Shinji, the sooner the better." With that they all left towards the car.
Authors note: I know, I know. I am dragging it out. It's not intentional. There's so much to do with the new characters. Plus Touji and Kensuke have only been making rare appearances. So, I decided to end the chapter here and go into the new angel attack. Yes, I could make this go on even longer but I think it's time to advance the story.
Thanks for all the great ideas I got. Had some interesting things come in(minus the threesome idea.*shudders*)
So, :P next chapter I will get to the angel. And yes, Asuka will be included*coughtoadegreecough*
Anyway... On to the next chapter.
P.S. I laughed really hard reading the review about keeping me in a chair roped down. That was funnier then hell. Lol.
