Chapter 30 - Extra.
Opening his eyes slowly, Shinji observed that he was in a hospital, feeling as if his body had taken a beating. "An unknown ceiling."
Turning his head to the side, Shinji watched the monitoring machines, listening to a soft beep that signaled his heartbeat, turning his head back to the ceiling, but something was wrong, feeling a weight on his arm.
Looking down and only seeing a set of red hair, giving a small smile at seeing Asuka sleeping using his arm as a pillow, he gave small shakes to signal that he was awake.
"Fick dich, Doktor, lass mich schlafen." (Fuck you doctor, let me sleep. ) Asuka muttered in German as she felt her body being gradually awakened, raising her head to kill the person who dared to interrupt her sleep.
Seeing no one around, his gaze locked on Shinji, his eyes now wide without his eye patch, Shinji caught himself staring at Asuka's two blue irises and having second thoughts about it. Leaping up and breaking his reverie, Asuka threw herself on top of him, tried to give him a tight hug, and then planted her lips firmly on Shinji's.
Shinji paled on the bed as he felt Asuka's lips, still feeling his body waking up and feeling a little groggy, but not stopping himself from kissing Asuka back as best he could.
"Hey ... Are we interrupting something?" Ritsuko spoke in the doorway next to Misato, both of them were wearing a smile on their faces as they saw the scene in front of them.
Both were on standby for any changes in Shinji's condition, having his vitals being transmitted to her tablet live to oversee any changes.
Asuka blushed and stood in the same shade as her hair, getting off of Shinji slowly and avoiding Misato's gaze as much as possible, she kept the smile on her face the whole time for two reasons, the first was that Shinji had woken up and the second was that she had gotten fuel to make Asuka and Shinji's lives hell. "Mari will love knowing that."
Moving closer to the bed and checking the equipment, Ritsuko soon began checking Shinji's signs. "How are you feeling?"
Shinji was still looking at Asuka's face now without the eye patch, but turned his attention back to Ritsuko's question, "I'm fine, it looks like my body was run over."
"No wonder, the battle in Tokyo 3 was intense." Misato replied as she approached the bed with a smile, keeping her gaze on Shinji at all times, feeling her anxiety subside at seeing him awake and well.
"How long was I out?" Shinji asked as he gave Ritsuko room to listen to his heart with his medical equipment.
"A week." Ritsuko replied as she wrote it down on her clipboard, with her professional indifference when she's working.
"What?!" Shinji asked shocked on his bed, with a louder beep from the instruments around him showing his anxiety.
"Calm down Shinji." Misato spoke as she reassured her pupil, seeing the signs increase. "It's not the end of the world."
Taking a breath to calm himself, Shinji was opening his mouth to ask what had happened when the door to his room opened abruptly.
"The puppy is awake!" Mari yelled as she entered the room and pushed Misato and Ritsuko out of the way, throwing herself on top of Shinji and hugging him tightly, Rei walked in keeping her posture calm and stopped beside Misato.
"Hey! He just woke up and you already want to kill him with your breasts." Asuka growled as she tried to free Shinji from Mari's grip, Asuka blushed slightly as she saw the spot where Shinji's face was buried.
"I'm not going to kill him." Mari replied as she looked down to see Asuka's face blush slightly, seeing Shinji pinned tightly between her breasts, giving a mischievous smile. "He's not complaining."
"That's enough Mari." Misato decided to intervene before the room turned into a war zone.
Feeling Mari getting off her top, Shinji was able to breathe easier, blushing as he remembered having his face between Mari's breasts.
"Best place in the world." Mari spoke proudly as she groped her own breasts and receiving a fierce look from Asuka.
"Jealous?"
"Four-eyes." Asuka growled at Mari, deep down she wished she could be alone with Shinji, this week where he slept was very stressful for Asuka.
"Alright, everyone will be here in a moment, that's an order." Ritsuko spoke up to support Misato in controlling the delicate situation that had settled in the room.
"How are you feeling Shinji-Kun?" Rei asked gently as she stood at Misato's side, Shinji hadn't noticed his sister come in.
"I'm going well Rei, how about you?" Shinji replied and asked everyone a question, taking advantage of the moment everyone was in the same place.
"I'm fine, thank you." Rei replied with a smile, which was promptly returned by Shinji.
"Dr. Akagi? Asuka is without her eye patch." Shinji asked confused as he turned his gaze to Asuka who was standing with her arms crossed next to Mari, being teased from time to time.
"There is yes, I had forgotten about that." Ritsuko stopped taking notes and looked Shinji in the eye. "After the battle was over, everything regarding the EVAS stopped, all the cores closed, Asuka's contamination just disappeared, puff gone." Emphasizing with her hands the last part.
Shinji's eyes widened, remembering the conversation he had with Kaworu about releasing the souls from the EVAS cores, he didn't remember saying anything about Asuka, something he mentally berated himself for not thinking about it.
"That's a gift dear Shinji, I hope you get the happiness you deserve." A voice spoke in Shinji's mind, giving a smile as he acknowledged it.
- Thank you Kaworu-kun. - Shinji thought in thanks.
Feeling a light jolt, Shinji looked at the others in the room confusedly, he would swear he felt the room sway.
"We're on Over the Rainbow, we're heading back to New-London by sea." Misato replied knowing Shinji would ask that from his confused face.
"The pride of WILLE's fleet." Mari spoke as she gestured around. "Kensuke would have an ejaculation just seeing that fleet assembled."
Receiving a negative nod from everyone in the room, but of course Mari didn't care, seeing Asuka's gaze on Shinji, Mari again smiled like a cat and spoke aloud.
"Princess wants some time with her puppy, we already know what she likes to do in hospital rooms."
Seeing Shinji and Asuka's faces blush like a tomato. "Four-eyes!" Asuka shouted to Mari who was already leaving along with Rei in her wake, sending a kiss with her hands.
Laughing at Mari's mischief, but agreeing. "Let's leave them alone." Misato spoke as he turned and headed towards the door.
Ritsuko nodded in agreement and both women began to leave the room in the medical area, with the doctor stopping at the door and talking to Shinji about his general condition. "I'll release you at the end of the day, you're fine now."
Shinji nodded as best he could, still recovering from the words Mari had said, but he had one question. "But, where I'm going?"
Misato looked at Asuka who scratched her head absently. "I had a room made for us." Asuka spoke as she blushed and spoke quickly. "With a double bed."
Smiling at the clumsy girlfriend in front of him, Shinji took her hand and gave her a small kiss, "What would I do without you?"
"Stop saying embarrassing things." Asuka whispered as she blushed at Shinji's gesture, they both didn't realize they were alone in the room, the first to realize it was Asuka.
Shinji watched Asuka walk to the door and lock it, noticing Shinji's gaze on her, turning around and speaking confidently. "You didn't think you'd be resting all day, did you? "
Shinji only watched as Asuka climbed onto his bed and planted a passionate kiss on his lips, returning the attention with the same intensity, soon Shinji's hands were holding Asuka's waist.
Breaking the kiss to take a breath, Asuka looked Shinji in the eye and spoke. "Thank you Shinji."
"For what?" Shinji retorted as he stroked her beautiful face and waited for the answer. "For coming back and ... For freeing mama."
Shinji didn't know how Asuka found out about his request in the instrumentality, but he knew that was a subject for another time, smiling back he replied. "No problem, our mothers deserved to be free."
Asuka settled on the bed and laid her head on Shinji's chest, listening to his heartbeat, they both closed their eyes and enjoyed each other's company.
"Yeah, mommy told me about it." Asuka spoke with her eyes closed as she listened to Shinji's heart.
With a confused look on his face, Shinji asked. "What do you mean?"
Asuka let out a sigh, lifting her head and meeting the gaze of her life partner. "In the battle against Mark 10, I think I was absorbed." Watching her boyfriend listen to everything intently. "I met up with her, after we talked a bit, she told me she knew your mother and you."
Shinji glanced up with a little shock on his face. "So it really was her in the picture." Speaking more to himself than to Asuka. "I can't believe I met your mother."
With a simple laugh from Asuka, but with a genuine smile. "Yeah, she wanted us to meet, to be childhood friends, can you imagine? Me and you together since we were kids, I bet I would have made your life a living hell." Asuka concluded with a mischievous smile on her face.
With a cheerful laugh, Shinji soon took care to hold Asuka's face with one hand, caressing her lovingly.
Purring at Shinji's affection, Asuka quickly tried to move closer and give Shinji a simple, gentle kiss, pulling away when she felt him laughing and staring at him with a confused, suspicious look.
"I keep imagining you and I playing together at some playground in the city, our mothers talking somewhere." Shinji spoke smiling as he held his girlfriend tightly.
"Well, obviously I'd be leading the banter." Speaking with a cocky smile, Asuka didn't notice when Shinji held her down and turned her over on the bed. "Ha!. "
Seeing Shinji now standing over her, Asuka stared at him with wide eyes, she would never expect him to take that kind of initiative. "Since when did you get so confident?"
With a smile on his face, Shinji responded not with words, but actions, with a passionate kiss, Asuka felt surprised at first, but soon gave in and they were both enjoying the privacy of a locked room.
Misato went to her room, it was simple, but the occupants took care to make the colonel as comfortable as possible. The room consisted with a double bed, the crew added two single beds to give more space and comfort to the occupant, next to it a small closet and a private bathroom. A desk in the corner where a computer was placed so she could know about her crew's status, removing her coat and heavy boots, Misato let herself collapse on her bed, finally relieved that Shinji was alright.
Giving a giggle as she remembered Asuka and Shinji's flushed faces with their teasing and Mari's, she gave a mischievous smile wondering what they both could be doing right now. - I guess I'll be a grandmother sooner than I imagined. - Misato thought smiling.
About to fall asleep, Misato heard a call coming from the computer. "You've got to be kidding me."
Grumbling as she staggered to the scene, Misato didn't bother putting on her colonel's coat again, seeing that it was Kaji calling her, with a snort she spoke to herself in the room. "What does he want?"
With a frown for losing her precious sleep, Misato opened the video line, revealing a smiling, carefree Kaji. "Hello Katsuragi, how are you?"
"Fine." Misato replied dryly, but deep down she was happy that Kaji had called, but she wouldn't give the taste to show she was happy. "Just shave the damn thing off."
Kaji gave a seductive smile, he knew Misato was happy to see him, having known her for several years and completely ignoring her last comment. "How are the children?"
Misato relented a little as he lightened the expressions on his face and decided to answer in the most natural way. "They're fine, as if you didn't know. Asuka is with him in the infirmary." Misato concluded as she signaled with her eyebrows suggestively to Kaji about Shinji and Asuka's possible activities.
With a sincere and mischievous smile, Kaji whispered proudly of Shinji. "Well, the boy is a fast learner."
Misato listened to Kaji's sentence, frowning at him and asking with fake annoyance. "What did you say?"
"Nothing." Kaji replied as if nothing had happened, quickly looking around to disguise himself, seeing the situation in front of her, Misato decided to return to the conversation.
"What about you? Running after all the skirttails in central?" Misato asked upon learning about Kaji's lifestyle and with a twinge of jealousy.
Kaji gave Misato a funny look, knowing the real intentions of his question. "You know I don't."
Misato was unconvinced, crossing her arms over her chest and speaking with a clear hint of jealousy in her voice. "What about Principal Laura?"
Kaji noticing Misato's jealousy, decided to open up a bit. "I won't deny that we've had a fling in the distant past." Watching Misato's face intently. "But she's not you."
Watching Misato blush heavily, Kaji gave a victorious smile, already knowing the question he would ask her when he was on land, finally saying those three words he had never said to Misato.
"Now I'll let you rest, until three days from now." Kaji spoke as he turned off his transmission, not giving a stunned Misato time to respond to Kaji's words.
Misato stood in shock in her room, looking at the black computer screen and giving a complete smile, getting up and going back to her bed where she was going to sleep to catch up on her sleep, Misato fell asleep with a smile on her face.
It had been two days since Shinji had been released from the hospital, looking again at the room Asuka had requested for them, seeing his companion step out of the shower wrapped in a red towel, he faced Asuka approaching the dresser to get his clothes.
"What?" Asuka asked with a smile on her face as she saw Shinji's look on her, she always liked the attention Shinji gave her.
"Nothing, just thinking how lucky I was with you." Shinji spoke relaxed as he stood up and hugged Asuka.
Blushing at the comment, Asuka returned the hug and laid her head on his shoulder. "When did you get so confident?"
Hearing a chuckle from Shinji. "You sent me remember? If I didn't take initiative anymore you were going to castrate me."
Laughing as she remembered saying that, Asuka pulled her head away and kissed Shinji's lips, pulling away and looking into the boy's eyes.
Sinking their lips together again, they both exchanged caresses, not caring about time, just enjoying his company.
"I love you Shinji and thank you for loving me. " Asuka spoke tenderly as she caressed Shinji's face.
"Forever Asuka, forever." Shinji pulled his mate into another passionate kiss. Hugging Shinji tightly as she kissed him.
Asuka broke the kiss and pulled away as she remembered that they would be taking lessons in the flight simulator. "Save that manliness for later pervert, today we're going to learn how to fly a transport type VTOL."
Letting go of his girlfriend, Shinji watched her loosen the towel and stand completely naked in front of him, letting the boy blush heavily as he looked away embarrassed.
Asuka giggled as she saw Shinji's reaction, she thought it was cute when he got all clumsy in front of her. - Please never change. - Thought the redhead smiling as she started to get dressed.
"I already know how to do that, I don't understand why I need more classes." Asuka spoke annoyed as she left her room and headed towards where they would have the classes.
"They want to make sure we know, I don't really know yet." Shinji replied with a smile on his face as he looked at the thick manual of a transport VTOL.
"I could be your teacher." Asuka replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "It's just a waste of time for me." Shinji giggled as he watched his girlfriend grumble about why these classes were useless.
When they arrived at the place, they were received by the flight instructor, he was next to Mari and Rei and was passing some instructions to the girls, Mari was in the same situation of Asuka, but unlike her colleague, the brunette would use this time to have fun in the simulator.
Mari watched the couple walk in and spoke with a smile on her face. "Look who showed up, how intense was last night?"
"Fuck you four-eyes." Asuka spoke risidly to Mari as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Yeah, I already did that." Mari spoke smiling as she gave Asuka a wink, that attitude only managed to piss the German off even more.
"Alright, let's get to the simulators." The instructor spoke heavily as he showed the way to the doubles. Asuka shook her head as she watched Mari drag Rei into one of the booths.
"Let's go." Asuka spoke as she held Shinji's hand and guided him to his training location.
"Crap." Asuka grumbled as she sat down in the pilot's seat, she was already preparing the controls before the simulation even started.
"Easy Asuka, try to have some fun." Shinji spoke as he sat down in the seat next to him, he was watching everything closely.
"But that's a waste of time." Asuka spoke heavily as she turned around and saw the face of Shinji who was listening to everything intently. "I already know how to fly that shit."
"Then help me be the best." Shinji retorted with a smile on his face, he knew that only feeding Asuka's ego would make her calm down in such a situation.
Seeing that his words seemed to have calmed the angry German woman beside him, Shinji waited for directions to begin.
"Alright everyone, the simulation is about to begin." The instructor spoke over the communicator, keeping his voice calm like a teacher's when starting his class.
Seeing the panels come to life, Shinji began to prepare for the day's training, holding his controls with determination and thinking about the procedures he had read in the manual.
"That was fun. " Mari said as she walked with the group, these simulations were easy for her, having spent most of the day helping Rei adjust to the VTOL controls.
"It was cool." Shinji replied with a smile. "I only fell three times." Hearing a general laugh from the group. "I did better in orienteering."
"But you're getting better, you're still far from my level, but it breaks the buck." Asuka spoke confidently as she threw a glance at Shinji, who only gave a laugh as he scratched the back of his neck.
"Cut him some slack princess." Mari spoke as she gave Asuka a light elbow and held Shinji by the shoulders. "Don't worry puppy, I've got your back."
"Let him go four-eyes." Asuka spoke as she pulled Shinji by the arm, releasing him from Mari's grip.
"What's wrong princess? Afraid I'll steal the puppy from you?" Mari spoke as she stared Asuka in the eyes using Shinji's shoulder as support.
Shinji at this point tried to stay as still as possible, he was between Asuka and Mari, and knew that any conflict he would take the worst of, but he knew that Mari's taunts were only to piss Asuka off.
Looking at Rei who had a small smile on her face, not knowing how, Shinji managed to get out of the mess and left Asuka and Mari arguing in the background, approaching Rei with a relieved look at being out of the firing line.
"They will never change." Shinji spoke smiling at Rei who was watching everything with a shy smile.
"But I don't want it to change." Rei spoke still without taking her eyes off Mari and Asuka, finally turning to face Shinji. "What about you?"
Shinji looked at his sister. "Me too."
Asuka looked at her boyfriend with a small smile on her face, completely ignoring Mari, they both looked at each other with love and affection on their faces.
Seeing Asuka's gaze on Shinji, Mari decided to call a halt to the discussion, remembering the position of WILLE's fleet with regards to New-London.
"Let's go to the upper deck, we're arriving in New London." Mari spoke agitatedly as she took Rei's hand and dragged her through the halls, Shinji and Asuka exchanged a glance at Mari's behavior, with a small laugh they both held hands and followed her.
Outside, the group of pilots watched as the city of New London appeared in the background, seeing its buildings growing and revealing a developed city.
After a few minutes and a lot of idle chatter, the group watched the work of the crew preparing everything for the arrival of the Over the Rainbow, watching everything that was going on, they all knew what was waiting for them.
Knowing that a lot would have changed, they would probably have a heavy training routine as they were reassigned to other roles, but they all knew they were together and under Misato's leadership.
Three months later - somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
"Alright guys, we have to get that shipment of medicine to the new colonies in Central Africa." Misato explained the supply delivery plan, showing the schematics of the new geography of the area. "Be careful, many supply convoys have been shot down by rebels in the area."
At this moment Rei raised her hand. "Mistress, why don't we just divert?"
Misato nodded in agreement. "It would be better, but it would take twice as long for those supplies to reach their destination, they would have to be taken viam overland, the risk would be higher." Watching Rei nod, Misato waited for any comment.
Seeing that everyone in the room was silent, she judged that they had no more questions. "Alright then, we'll be out in less than an hour, dismissed."
With those words, everyone stood up and began to leave, Misato watched as Shinji stood up and began to follow the group. "Shinji! Rei! Wait a second."
Stopping in the doorway, Shinji again turned back inside, taking a quick glance at Rei who stopped beside him. Being accompanied by Asuka who stayed a few steps back beside Mari. Both were watching everything intently.
Misato walked over until she was close to the waiting duo, with a smile on her face the colonel began to speak. "I have some excellent news for you two."
Seeing Shinji's look of expectation and Rei's stoic face, Misato continued. "Starting with you Shinji, the command has reviewed the information from the battle of Tokyo 3, they have decided to void your sentence in recognition of your service to the WILLE."
Seeing Shinji's smile, he felt Asuka and Mari's smile behind his back, turning his head, he could make out the shy smile on Rei's face.
Misato turned as she saw Maya place two wooden boxes with WILLE's symbol on her desk, taking the first one she turned back to speak to Shinji. "Lieutenant Ikari. For your service you have shown great courage and bravery in the face of certain death, proving your character multiple times on the battlefield." Misato began to speak looking Shinji in the eye at all times, she had pride in her eyes, opening the box and taking the captain's insignia.
"It is with great pride that WILLE promotes you to Captain."
Removing the Lieutenant's insignia from his shoulders and attaching the Captain's, with a salute Misato finished with Shinji.
"Thank you ma'am, I won't disappoint." Shinji replied with a smile on his face.
"I know you won't." Misato replied equally smiling, turning around and looking Rei in the eye, equally with a proud look on her face.
"Lieutenant Ayanami, you came to WILLE as an enemy, as did Shinji, but your determination to prove us otherwise by showing us your character and bravery in defense of WILLE and the world, I take great pride in saying that WILLE promotes you to Captain." Repeating the same motion of removing her Lieutenant insignia and putting on her new Captain insignia, saluting Rei with a smile on her face.
Asuka and Mari were watching everything from the background, they both had a smile on their faces, but a sound caused Asuka to turn her head, her eyes widening at the sight, she would never imagine she would live to see it.
Beside her, Mari was red eyed with tears streaming down her face, not even noticing Asuka watching her as she let her emotion take over.
"I can't believe it, four-eyes is crying." Asuka spoke slightly shocked.
Mari turned around and wiped the tears from her eyes, looking at Asuka as she spoke in a voice broken with emotion. "So what? I'm human too."
Asuka gave a genuine smile, turning her attention back to watching Misato hug Shinji and Rei, when the two were finally released, Mari jumped forward trapping the two in one of her bear hugs as she shouted, "Oh what a thrill!. "
Letting go of the pair, Shinji watched Mari giving Rei a tight hug and saying how proud she was of her, Asuka who was locking her eyes on Shinji with a genuine smile on her face.
"So Captain Ikari?" Asuka asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"Yes, Captain Shikinami?" Shinji replied as he moved closer to Asuka, until they were both a few inches apart.
"Don't let it go to your head." Asuka spoke almost whispering as she passed her arms over Shinji's neck.
"I won't, I have you to guide me." Shinji replied as he slipped his arms around Asuka's waist bringing their bodies closer together.
With a weak laugh, Asuka brought her face closer into Shinji's with the intention of kissing him, but not before speaking arrogantly. "Don't even think you can contradict me now, I've been captain longer than you."
Shinji with a smile on his face and tilting his head so that their lips touched with a simple kiss, they were both in their worlds again.
Misato stood next to Maya as she looked over some documents, lifting her gaze to see the reason for the silence of her former colleague in NERV who was looking ball eyed and smiling, giving a smirk as she saw Shinji and Asuka kissing with Mari and Rei watching everything with a smile on her face.
"Do you guys know that this is a military ship?" Misato spoke to the couple who broke their kiss to look at her, both were blushing slightly. "Already abusing your status as Captain Shinji?"
Feeling awkward, he raised his hand and began scratching the back of his neck, stammering out a response. "Well ... You know ... Is ..."
Laughing at Shinji's embarrassed response, Misato was about to tease them, but Mari stepped forward. "I better put earplugs in tonight, because tonight promises."
Misato giggled louder along with Mari, watching Shinji and Asuka's faces blush heavily.
"Four-Eyes!" Asuka growled clumsily at Mari's teasing, but giving a smile, because deep down she knew Mari wasn't wrong.
"Alright, get ready for the mission you four." Misato spoke still smiling to the group who nodded and turned to leave, giving Maya a knowing look, Misato had to make her mark. "For here it's work first, pleasure later."
Misato began to laugh along with Maya, even though he couldn't see her face, but from the change in Shinji's posture, it wasn't hard to deduce that the boy blushed heavily.
On the upper deck, Shinji was walking next to Asuka, they were both heading towards their VTOL that was being fueled for their mission.
Greeting the passing officials, both pilots were now looking at their instruments intently, Shinji was giving casual glances to Asuka who was checking the on-board computer.
Knowing that Shinji was watching her from time to time, Asuka smiled internally, she liked knowing that she had power over Shinji, but she had to be Asuka. "I know I'm a show of beauty, but we have to get the bird ready."
Shinji blinked as he realized he had his gaze locked on Asuka, blushing he decided to go back to preparing his flight.
After all the preparations were ready, they were only waiting for Misato's approval so the mission could begin, Shinji was working up the courage to talk to Asuka.
Asuka seeing Shinji's discomfort, decided to speak first. "Baka! No need to be so nervous, you're not an EVA."
Shinji gave a forced laugh, that wasn't what was bothering him. "I know, it's not the mission."
"So what is it?" Asuka asked curiously as she looked at Shinji.
"I'm thinking about everything." Shinji finally stopped shaking and began to speak, all the while keeping his eyes on Asuka's. "I just want to thank you."
Asuka blinked and stared at him in confusion. "For what?"
"For saving me." Shinji spoke with a smile on his face. "If it wasn't for you, I would never have gotten where I have, you give me strength Asuka, more strength that no one else could give me." Asuka was listening to everything carefully. "Then I just have to thank you, thank you so much for saving my life."
Asuka let a small lonely tear escape wiping it away quickly, she looked Shinji in the eye with a genuine smile on her face. "It's just my job."
Feeling Shinji take her hand lovingly and tenderly, they both looked at each other, getting lost in each other's eyes, Asuka leaned forward and placed a kiss on his lips "Baka." The redhead spoke as she broke the kiss, but kept her smile the whole time.
"My Baka Shinji."
"Alright pilots, you have permission to commence."
Misato spoke over the radio, giving the VTOLS permission to take off carrying their cargo to the neediest and poorest colonies, the world still needed help, but with NERV out of the way they could start again.
Shinji was at the controls of his VTOL watching the ship piloted by Mari and Rei beside him, with a smile on his face, he could finally tell his mother was right, any place could be paradise if you had the will to live.
Watching Asuka check his instruments and on-board computer, Shinji smiled as he saw that he loved her and she loved him, that he finally had people he could call family, that he had finally found happiness, even knowing his mistakes, these people had given him a second chance, even after all his Errors and Successes.
