Disclaimer: Again I mind everyone that I don't own a thing.
A/N: Right now while I'm at work, I'm using my ipaq 1910 to type out a story that came to me while at work. I don't know what brought it on but it hit me like a ton of bricks. Look out for it on 13
In the NERV locker room, the compact that Asuka had left open started to vibrate then sparks started to come from the reflective surface of the mirror quickly fallowed by a flash of light, then Anata was fighting with the small opening.
"Come on…. Dammit I need to cut back on the junk food….." She said to her self.
Finally being able to get out from the mirror, Anata was unaware that she has tripped a motion sensor, alerting security teams. IN a security office, officers started to go through the check lest to see if it was a drill.
"What's the location of the pilots?" One officer asked.
"Their in the sync testing lab." An officer replied from the other end of the office.
"And why don't I have a visual of the locker room?"
"Dr. Akagi had them shut off to provide the girls with some privacy…. I have security teams one through five converging on the locker room now."
Back in the locker room, Anata made her way to the door to, pressing the open button; the power doors slid open and she slipped out the room not knowing that she was being watched by the set of vary well hidden cameras.
"Okay… I guess I go down….." Anata whispered to her self as she walked up to the elevator. Once the doors where open she slipped in.
IN the Sync testing area, Ritsuko had gotten a phone call. Not wanting to disturb the children she shut off the comm. Link. "Hello this is Ritsuko Akagi….. An intruder? Right I'll lock them down from here."
Hanging up the phone she looked over at Maya. "Maya, clock the door and the whole testing area."
"Are we going to tell the pilots ma'am?"
"No something like this can alter results… we'll keep on going."
At the school this where going like normal. Apparently it was common place to have Asuka, Shinji and Rei gone like this at lest once a week, sometimes twice. Fiona looked around the room; it was like the other students didn't know where they where or just didn't care.
'It's almost sad; they know that the three of them fight those angle things. Risk their lives, and the others here don't really care…' Thought Fiona. 'I could as Shinji's two friends but I don't think they would want to talk about those sorts of things…' Fiona turned and looked out the vary same window that Rei would look out of. 'I wonder what Rei finds so interesting out there…' Fiona just sat there as the teacher went on again about second impact, it was stuff that Fiona had already know about from the past couple days of going to school here in this world.
At the Geo Front, Anata had made her way to the lowest level. And was still aware that she being watched. "Pretty lax security for a highly secretive place, that's housing three of the world's most powerful weapons." She said to her self. Walking to another set of huge blast doors, Anata placed her hand over the card reader. Then the red light turned green letting the door slid open.
In his office, Gendo's eyes widen slightly. "Impressive…"
The Sub-Commander watched the screen from behind Gendo. "Do you want the security teams to move in sir?"
"Not yet, I want to know what the intruder is looking for." Gendo replied. "Open the way for her, and have Dr. Akagi bring up the Magi's anti-hacking systems."
"Yes Sir." Picking up a phone the sub-commander called the teams. "This is the sub-commander, stand. I repeat do not approach the intruder."
Finding her self in from of one of the three super computers, Anata kneeled down on to one knee and pulled off the back pack she had with her. "Now Kou had said that all I need to do is open it up and turn it on…." Doing what she had just said, the computer started to connect to the super computers.
"Now I just wait for this thing to down load."
Back in Gendo's office, the commander had gotten a call from the doctor. "… What do you mean the anti-hack systems are not working?"
"It's just as I said, who ever programmed that laptop, knows their stuff. It's breaking past the firewalls, dummy coms, and it's just plan breaking through all the barrier! Stop her!" Ritsuko yelled from the other end of the phone.
"What information has she been able to get?"
"Everything, and by everything I mean the deepest most hidden secrets of NERV!"
Hanging up the phone, Gendo looked over at his Sub-Commander and nodded.
"All security teams move in and apprehend the intruder."
"… Come on, Come on… This is taking to long…" Anata whispered to her self and the little school laptop in front of her. Then she heard the blast doors she came in through open.
"You Freeze!" barked a guard with his weapon aimed at Anata.
Anata slowly brought her hands up as she stood back up.
"Slowly remove the helmet!"
'Damn it… if I take this helmet off they might know who I am…' Coming up with what seemed to be a desperate escape plane. Forming a force bolt in her hands she quickly turned around and at the same time threw then bolts at the feet of the guards. Giving her just enough time to grab the computer and duck behind a desk. Then she flipped it over. just in time to block the hail of bullets.
"Damn it! I have to watch how much I use my powers I don't want to have a power short fall!"
Forming another force bolt Anata tossed it up above her then it hovered there in mid air, before it fired to the ground in front of the guards. Putting the laptop back in to the back pack, Anata then closed her eyes letting several force bolts form above her; numbering six in all. Then they fired at the guards, again at the ground so not to kill anyone. But also providing a good cover of smoke. Jumping the over turned desk she ran for the blast doors, and in to the elevator. Once the doors closed Anata let out a sigh of relief.
"Oh Hell that was close……"
But it was something she should have saved until she was back at the apartment. Because the elevator came to a grinding stop, making her shake her head.
"Damn it all, not my best of days!"
Opening the service opening to the elevator car, she climbed out in to the shaft. And started to climb the latter out side. "Damn this is going to take some time."
IN Gendo's office all hell was breaking out. "… Are the pilots locked down?" HE asked Akagi over the phone.
"The sync test entry plugs have been ejected and are floating on in the lake to the Geo Front." She replied. "Where is the intruder now?"
"She's in the elevator shaft, more then likely on her way to the level she came from." Gendo said. "Fuyutsuki!"
"The security forces are placed at the doors to the locker room where it's believed that the intruder gained entry from!" Fuyutsuki said answering Gendo's question before he had the chance to answer it. "She won't escape."
Coming to the level where the locker rooms are. Anata placed her hand over the spot that the elevator buttons are the doors opened. She half expected a hail of gun fire but there was nothing.
"Finally a break."
Crawling out the shaft, Anata dusted her self off and ran for the locker rooms. Sliding to a stop to make a turn Anata didn't have a second, but her own instants took over. The bullets came to a stop by the field of energy that came up around Anata's body. The guards just stood there in shock. All the bullets just floated there in the air.
"A devil….." One guard remarked
They watched as Anata raised her hand and the bullets fell to the ground. The light then started to flicker, cracks then started to form on the walls. And move down tourds the guards. Then before the guards had a chance to react, some unseen force threw them to the walls; clearing a path for Anata. Seeing her chance to get away she ran for the locker room. Pushing the door open she made a dive for the mirror that was hanging just above the sink.
In the hall though, a guard drew his .45 side arm, and fired three shots blindly in the direction Anata went to. The first bullet missed her, the second drove in to her flesh just below her right shoulder and to the right of the bone, the third shot hit the mirror shattering it at the vary same time Anata had gone in to it.
At the apartment, Raziel was standing in front of the mirror, fixing his hair. He had just gotten out of the shower, steam still filled the cramped bathroom. Seeing the mirror ripple, Raziel didn't have a chance to move. Anata came flying through then soon fallowed by the bullet that shattered the mirror back at the locker room. And like the mirror in the locker room, the mirror in the apartment shattered and the bullet missed Raziel's dead by about an inch and barried it self in the wall behind him. Looking over at the bullet hole slowly, then over at the bath tub where Anata had landed.
"Son of a bitch that hurts!"
"What the hell happened to you?" Raziel asked. "Is that blood!"
"Nope… red ink….. What the Hell do you think it is!"
Anata forced her self up, and crawled out of the bathtub.
"Damn that's bad… Sit down; let me help you with it." Raziel ordered as he started to search the small apartment for a first aid kid. "We should really get you to a doctor!"
"No Doctors!" Anata yelled back. "I don't like them….."
"If I can't stop the bleeding I'm taking you to one."
Anata walked out of the bathroom, and sat down on a near by chair. "Raziel you take me to one I'll kick and scream bloody murder all the way there."
"Well you got the bloody part down….. Left your sleeve." Raziel said, pulling Anata and the chair she was on closer to the bed so he can sit. Raziel fought with the sleeve for several seconds before letting out a sigh. "Look this is going to be vary strange for the both of us, but I'm going to need you to take off the shirt. The skin tight shirt outfit that Aunt Skuld made here is making it vary hard for me to get to the wound."
Moving her left hand that was covering the bullet wound around to her back she grabbed the zipper. Raziel cringed at the amount of blood that was on her hands already.
"Before I undo this zipper, what you're about to see on my back might make you feel a little sick. So I'm sorry, past memories, memories that I can't forget…. Not yet."
"Okay…. I can handle it." Raziel said sounding as tough as he can.
Anata sighed. "Just thought I'll warn you, I forgot to let people know at the school here and I freaked them all out."
Anata then started to unzip the back of the shirt; Raziel clinched his teeth trying not to make a sound as he saw the scares on her back. when the zipper was as far down as it could go she forced her bad shoulder up out of the sleeve, as she did Raziel noticed that there where old scars and a couple fresh ones too. "Get in to a fight lately?"
"The fresh ones are from your Evangelion empress friend, and her white guard." Anata replied.
Hearing that mad Raziel clearly angry. He stopped talking about the subject right away and went to focus on the bullet wound. "It looks like it's still in you…. I'll need to pull it out."
Anata nodded.
Fishing around the first aid kit, Raziel found a set of tweezers. "This is going to hurt…. Hurt a lot. You want something to bit on to or something?"
Anata looked over her shoulder with a grin. "Think this is some type of western or something?"
"Look I really have no idea what I'm doing, I'm only working off of what I've seen on TV. That's why I said I'm taking you to a doctor." Raziel replied quickly.
"I'll be fine…. Just be quick with it okay."
Raziel nodded. Quickly and carefully, Raziel tried to get the bullet out, he could hear small but yet painful sounds from Anata. Once he had the bullet with the tweezers he pulled it out. He let it fall to the ground.
Several minutes later Raziel washed and wrapped the bullet wound and put his sisters' arm in to a sling for safe measures. "You know if your mother was here she could have just healed it… along with those scars."
"And I'll be stuck in bed for a week."
"True… but why put your self through that pain, I mean even Fiona knows how to do some low level healing magic." Raziel rebutted.
"But to me each mark is a story; a memory of the past." Anata said. "And besides it helps me keep in mind my own mortality."
"So I take it that you really don't like your powers?" Asked Raziel.
"They're something I could live with out… it really makes no difference to me. One way or the other." Anata said.
"But I believe your mother… or your mother from my universe said that we are given our powers to bring happiness to those that have their life filled with sorrow." Raziel said making again a good point.
"Sounds like mom…. She's right, but at are own happiness? Look at my mom and dad; it was only after several problems. That they where able to be together, but even now there is that slight threat that mom will be recalled to the heavens for something stupid." Anata said looking up form the floor. "Even you, me and Fiona even my cousin are looked down to by the hard core high level gods and goddesses. Should I work for those that don't like me…. and only use me for my powers? I think not. Raziel you know this truth too. Tell me what you think?"
"I'm still trying to find my place in the big pitcher." Raziel simply replied. "But the prejudice from the high level gods… I get that feeling a lot."
"I think that we… hybrids or what ever they call us are here for a greater reason. Something that grandfather never told that others about, you want to know what I think that is?"
Raziel nodded.
"We are here to bring about change in the heavens. Bridge that words together…"
Raziel sat there and thought about Anata's words. Then looked her right in the eyes. "The gods don't like change, especially change that's forced on them. Anata that's a dangerous future that can land you in the lunar prison."
Anata looked back to the floor. "Should you be getting to work?"
Raziel looked at his watch. "I can stick around if you need me to….."
"No… go its okay, besides I have to start my job later on today as well." She said still looking at the ground.
"Well if you need me, I have mine and Kou's work number on the fridge. Though you're more then likely call Kou… Never mind me doing the good brother thing." Raziel grabbed a small lunch he fixed for him self and walked to the door. "I made some for you too."
He was about to leave when Anata called him again. "Raziel."
He stopped and looked back at Anata. "Yeah?"
"You are a good brother…. Thank you."
Raziel smiled. "You're a good sister to Fiona and me…. I'll see you later."
"Bye."
Back at the Geo Front, clean up efforts where under way. Gendo wasn't look to happy. "…. Someone tell me just what the hell happened! And where did the intruder make her escape?"
"The security teams keep on saying the same thing. 'She went through the mirror.'" Fuyutsuki replied. "It really makes no since…"
Gendo rubbed his chin. "Find all the video footage we have on the intruder, and I want to know what information she got from the magi."
"Yes Sir."
"Sir."
Turning around to the locker room he found Ritsuko one her knees sifting through the shards of broken mirror. "Yes what is it."
"It seems that one of the security personnel shot the intruder…. See blood." Ritsuko said holding up a microscope slide.
"Get that sample to the lab… I wan to know everything about our visitor…." Gendo ordered.
"Yes sir." Said Ritsuko as she put the slide in to a case. "And sir are our planed for later?"
Gendo was about to leave the locker room, then turned to Ritsuko. "Of course Doctor… 20:30 hours."
"Yes sir."
Walking around the corner Asuka, Rei and Shinji having finished their test. "What happened here?" Asuka asked making everyone, even Gendo look over at them.
"We had an intruder while you three was in your test. She caused quite the mess." Ritsuko replied.
"Was any one hurt?" Shinji asked.
"No just pushed around a lot…. Girls since the women's locker room is a crime seine, you'll have to use the men's. I already got your things out of the lockers for you two." Ritsuko said handing Rei and Asuka each a bag. Just about that same time Misato came through the elevator.
"Oh wow, what a mess…. What the word Rits?"
"Don't 'what's the word Rits' me." Ritsuko said, her hands resting on her hips. "Just where the hell where you during all this."
Just after she asked Misato that she noticed that Misato was fixing her hair and was cloths. Then seconds later the elevator doors that was next to the ones that Misato came out of opened up ant Kaji walked through.
"Never mind….."
Kaji scratched the back of his head. "Hi Rits. Rough day at the office?"
"I'll be in my lab…." Ritsuko said on her way out of the hallway. "And you two get a room next time."
At the other end of town, Anata and found the shop that Misato said would be more then glad to take her in. she walked in and looked around it was a place that she could like to work at. Trophies from past races, pitchers of races. "Hello… "
Hearing a some sounds form the back Anata made her way to the source of the sounds and random cussing.
"Hello?"
The owner of the shop came from around some crates. "Who are you?"
"I'm Anata Morisato; Misato Katsuragi said that you wanted me to stop by… Possibly for a job." Anata said, but saying the job part slightly with a shy tone.
"Morisato eh, well let's see what you can do first."
The owner placed a motor in front of her. It wasn't a big thing. No by all means it was not much bigger then a bread box. "This is a go cart motor, let's see how much you can have this thing put out."
"Okay….."
Having gotten home from school, Fiona found that the apartment was a mess; along with the computer. Having nothing to do she sat down and started to read the information that Anata gathered from the Magi. As she read about the Tokyo-3 area and the Geo Front, NERV and the Eva's things where clear to her she was starting to peace things all together. 'I understand now… I understand why Shinji, Asuka are the way they are. This will be of great help to us.'
Walking home with Asuka, Shinji used his SDAT player to drown out the ranting red head. He couldn't hear her and that was the nest thing for now because the last things he head heard her say before putting on the ear buds was Asuka saying something about how he didn't bring any money for they, mainly she could get some lunch.
Shinji didn't know what it was, but something put him in to this mood that wasn't a good one. To him it was like something bad was happening to him, and he was watching it happen from a third person point of view. Maybe it was just a bad day… Maybe it was the test finally getting to him.
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes
caught in the undertow/Just caught in the undertow
"It's like this Shinji, you cant just forget your wallet like that, Something might come up." Asuka said. "something like you getting hurt, the hospital will need to know who you are, or you having the chance to take me to lunch. But your loss."
Ever step that I take is another mistake to you
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Be come so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And less like you
"And I can think of several boys that would want to take me to lunch… Shinji you need to be more spontaneous." Asuka said, telling Shinji basically what to do.
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
caught in the undertow/just caught in the undertow
and every second I waste is more then I can take
but I know
but I know I may end up falling apart
"Shinji? Are you even listening to me!" Asuka shouted as she turned around to find Shinji's ears plugged by his ear buds.
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you.
Taking out the ear buds, Shinji blinked a couple times. Then for some reason, for a minute Shinji developed a spine. He was about to do something that no one would expect, not even the military strategist, Misato Katsuragi. Not even the Dead Sea scrolls foresaw such a thing. Asuka and Shinji faced each other down, and then Shinji took a step. Asuka froze as Shinji took her hand and moved it aside then moved in and kissed her. At First Asuka didn't know what to do. It took her completely off guard. Then she started to get in to it. The two stood there on the street, giving the biggest display of affection anyone had seen. This common since hit Asuka, or the shock caught up with her. She broke away and took a step back; her face beat red. Then turned around, not saying a word.
'Wow…' Shinji thought. 'for being spontaneous is going to cause me to catch hell later on, but it was worth it.'
Asuka just walked on home lost in her shock and her thoughts. 'Just what the hell happened?' She asked herself. 'Did Shinji and I just make out on the middle of the sidewalk? Did I slap him for that?' Asuka asked herself mentally. She checked her hand. 'No, my hand doesn't hurt any…it was good though…NO! NO! NO! Just keep on walking Asuka. Yes don't bring it up and he wont say a thing about it. Just keep on walking.'
