"This is impossible! How can Shinji be synchronised at four-hundred percent!"

"It's broken free"
"Free? Free of what"
"Those plates weren't just armour; they were webbing that bound Eva to our will! And now it is free!"

What do you want?
'The Question I want the most'
I want to be of worth
'The Answers I want to give the most'

What do you want?
'The Question I fear the most'
I want to be respected
'The Answers I fear to give.'

What do you want?
'Because these questions aren't real'
I want to be recognised
'Because my wants are rejected. That is what I fear.'

What do you want Shinji?
'The Question I want the most.'
I want to be loved.
'That is what I truly want.'

Misato clutched the empty plug suit crying, cursing theEva in grief. In the short time she had known the young boy; she had grown to care for him as a son. No, she wasn't worthy enough to think of herself as a mother, she cared, but not enough. She acted like a mother when it suited her, Shinji was just another thing to keep her from her own loneliness, and she hated herself most for that. She hated that she would never have a chance to tell Shinji how proud she was of him, for doing something that caused him pain for the sake of others. She would never have the chance to tell him, that she loved him.

As she cried the eyes of the Eva Began to glow and a sickening sound could be heard, the description beyond words, and as Misato looked up there he was the boy she grieved for. The boy whom she thought she would never be able to say those things to. Confusion filled her eyes, the joy, the fear, and the uncertainties as she stared for a moment at his still form. Before she could move to him, that sound, once again occurred. The Super Solenoid engine of the Eva glowed as it was made and a secondunconcious figure was expelled from the red womb.

From his vantage point Gendo Ikari could only smile slightly as his son was returned to the waking world, freed from the Eva. He was about to make a command to move the third child into the medical bay to be examined, but he froze. Another figure was freed from the Eva, even though he could not see the face, he knew. Beyond all doubt he knew, and for the first time in seven years, he was filled with dread. But he was beyond the panic that would set in the minds of most men; he took the receiver and dialled the intercom signal.

With a cool voice he made his orders "Move the two into the Intensive care immediately, admit no visitors, Sub-Commander Fuyutsuki will be the doctor in charge of them, confine them to the same room. That is all."

He put the receiver down and his hands were shaking.
"Ikari?" Came the sub-commander's uncertain voice.
"Kozou, please look after them. I need to address the committee on this change immediately"
Gendo said in a shaky voice.
Sub-Commander Fuytsuki was caught blind; it had been a long time since anyone had referred to him by his first name.
"Understood." With that he turned and headed towards the NERV hospital.

Gendo stood there for the longest time planning his words carefully. He drew a sharp breath and composed himself taking his seat, and enabled the holographic communications that wouldput him in connection with the Committee, with Seele.

Keel was already awaiting an immediate report. "What do you bring for us Ikari"
"The pilot of Unit one has been recovered"
"But that is not all is it Ikari?" Asked Seele four.
"That is correct; a second body was recovered in the process. Their status is currently unknown."
"What effect will this have upon our scenario Ikari?" Demanded Seele six.
"At this time, it is uncertain how this will effect the performance of Unit one, but measures can be taken to correct any that may arise. As for thier status, if they are dead, then it will be of little consequence. However, if they live, then we will have the former Manager of Project Geherin, Yui Ikari with us once again. And that gentlemen, can only speed Instrumentality to completion."
"Then it is wholly appropriate that she lives Ikari, is it not?" Keel said passionlessly.
"Of course." Ikari said with the same lack of emotion.
"That will be all." Keel commanded. Then there was silence, and darkness.

Not for the first time, Gendo Ikari was sick to his stomach. With Seele, and mostly, himself.

Authours Notes:

An experimental idea that I had strike me not too long ago, updates will be sparodic, due to other stories I have in the works. Read and Review, throw rocks even if you want me to update this more frequently, otherwise it will be somthing I'll do to fill in time between other stories, rather than anything wholly commited.
Thanks for Reading.
