Collisions and Plans
Both individuals stood, just staring warily at one another, Rei Ayanami, AKA Wonder Girl on her part, steadied herself just in case as she looked up at this dark entity up and down. He seemed unlike anything she had seen before so far during her short time as the champion of Athena. Shinji Ikari, AKA Spawn for his part, was thankful that he had his mask on; he couldn't stop blushing as he just looked at the girl in front of him, in her red boots, to her red and blue swimsuit with the gold belt around her waist(Basically WW's original outfit before New 52 and Rebirth), the lasso she was fingering attached at the hip, and her sword and shield strapped behind her.
"What are you, Spawn?" Wonder Girl asked him. "One of Hades' creations in the service of Ares?"
"No, I am not," he answered her.
"Then who are you? What are you?" she questioned.
"Hmph. You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Then I will force the truth out of you, creature," Wonder Girl replied, taking her magic lasso from her hip.
Spawn just stood silent, his red shroud fluttering around him; he felt a little afraid, since he knows her lasso would force the truth out of any living being, but something instinctively told him her lasso wouldn't work on him.
"Your magic jump rope won't work on me," Spawn told her, not even moving.
"We shall see."
Wonder Girl wrapped her lasso around the dark figure's body. She activated it, causing it to glow briefly, but to her shock, the glow dissipated as quick as it came.
"What in Hera's name?!" She gasped.
Wonder Girl tried it again, but got the same result. She looked up at Spawn, wondering just what was he.
"How is this possible?!"
"I told you."
Spawn suddenly slipped out of the lasso holding him, and popped up in front Wonder Girl making his form seem more massive because of his shroud. Wonder Girl reacted quickly and swung at him, but her fist was wrapped in his red shroud. Shinji subconsciously commanded it to push her back to the wall, since he had no intention of hurting her, or fighting her.
"I didn't come here to fight you."
Shinji mentally commanded the shroud to release her slowly. That proved to be a mistake as she struck him again, slashing his chest with her sword, causing him to stumble backwards, but to her shock, his chest glowed green, healing instantaneously from the attack, much to the surprise of Spawn.
"How can that be?! What manner of demon are you?!" she gasped.
"Damn," Shinji said in wonder. 'Why did I just say that?'
Shinji got up slowly. He brought out his skull chains, piercing both of her legs, immobilizing her.
"Argh!" Wonder Girl yelled.
"Get this straight! I don't work for Ares, nor am I a creation of his or Hades'! No one commands me!" growled Spawn at her.
At this, Shinji was surprised with how angry he just sounded; it was so unlike him. It was like another part of that he had repressed had been uncovered. It may have been because of the suit and its demonic nature. He saw her trying to cut his chains, but it was to no avail; her sword was suddenly snagged by another set of chains. Shinji took the blade and instinctively broke it with his hands, further shocking the girl and amazing himself.
'Whoa! Did I just do that? I broke a sword.' he thought, tossing the pieces aside.
Wonder Girl gritted her teeth and attempted to move her legs, despite the pain, the skulls digging deeper in her legs, causing her more pain. But suddenly, the chains retracted themselves back into Spawn, making her collapse to her knees, blood leaking out.
"Like I said, I didn't come here to fight you," Spawn said, his shroud wrapping around him.
"Then why did you come here, creature?" she grunted in pain, struggling to get back to her feet.
"You're starting to sound like a broken record with all these questions. I have my reasons." he replied
"Are you similar to a demon from the underworld?"
"In a sense I'm literally from Hell, not the underworld, there are not the same."
"But they are the same, they are just-"
The bright lights of large vehicles shone upon the two, cutting Wonder Girl off. Shinji took this opportunity to slip back into the shadows, disappearing in a flash of green light. Wonder Girl, the pain in her legs having already healed, flew off, searching all around for the entity named Spawn, but saw no sign of him, leaving her to wonder who he really was.
"Perhaps I should speak with Athena about this. Maybe she can tell me what Spawn really is." she mused before flying off.
Little did she know, a hooded figure watched her from a faraway rooftop
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
(With Spawn)
Spawn reappeared in a bright green flash in another rundown part of town in another abandon building in a complete daze and suddenly he collapsed on the ground. Unbeknownst to him a hooded figure was watching from up top.
"The first teleportation without assistance from another, is always the worst, coming as unexpectedly as going." the figure mused
After a few moments Shinji came to and pulled off his mask, breathing heavily. He put a hand to his chest, trying to find some sign that he had been cut, but to his pleasant surprise, he found nothing. No markings, no scars, no indication that he was ever hurt.
"Incredible. I didn't feel a thing when she hit me." he marveled, at the fact he survived a fight with Wonder Girl.
Another thought occurred to him
"Still that does leave the question, should I really reveal myself? I mean, if they managed to get Eva Unit-01 and I wasn't in there, then they'll all likely declare me dead. And if they think I'm dead, then I won't have to pilot Eva, anymore. I won't have to fight in their war, anymore." Shinji said, thinking that as a possible upside.
But with an upside ultimately came the downside. He knew his father would be forget him instantly, he wouldn't be honored, and he would no doubt be replaced by his father and everyone at the drop of a dime and force the burden of piloting the Eva on another poor soul, because that's how all of Nerv was, it's how they operated. And if Shinji did suddenly reappear, they'll want to how he survived, and he couldn't let them discover the symbiotic suit.
He was broken out of his thoughts when he heard tires screech in the distance. Three police cars surrounded one ordinary car, with a brown haired young man of twenty in the driver's seat and a blonde-haired girl of 19 in the passenger's side. The man got out of the car with his arms raised while three officers got out of their cars.
"Okay, I don't want any trouble," he said in a startled voice.
"Shut the hell up and get down on the ground now!" ordered one officer with a nightstick.
"What did I do?" he questioned.
"Well, if it isn't Yamato Kotobuki, the young upstart from Internal Affairs? Word has it you leaked to the captain that we skimmed off the top." said the portly officer who put his foot on his back.
"Listen, if you can't keep your mouth shut, we'll shut it for you."
"What kind of-ugh!" Yamato grunted as he was hit with the stick.
Before the portly officer could hit him again, something grabbed his arm and lifted him off the ground with ease. The other two officers looked on top the police car and saw a red-caped figure with a black mask and green eyes standing on top of the roof with his cape flowing in the wind.
"Why do people with authority abuse their power?" he asked in a deep voice.
Not expecting an answer, he tossed the cop at the second one, and saw the third pull out his gun and fire about five shots into the figure's chest, but the bullets fell off him, not even fazing him. The officer in question ran to his car, while Yamato took this opportunity also to get away safely. Shinji willed his chains to snag the officer and send him into the window nearby. He glanced down at the portly officer as the other one left.
"A word of advice, Mr. officer: retire immediately." the dark figure said, moving into the dark of the alley.
As soon he heard the officer speed away in his car, Shinji moved into the darkness of the alley, unaware of the hooded figures watching him from above.
"Not the start we had envisioned for the both of them, but a start, nonetheless," said a soft, feminine voice.
"Agreed, though what surprised me was how your charge struck mine first," a male voice responded.
"She reacted instinctively. Can you blame her? He has that demonic appearance, after all," the female argued.
"Yes, but underneath that appearance lies a young boy thrust into an unnecessary war, not a trained killer like his predecessor was," the male responded.
"True, but don't forget that symbiote could still have trace amounts of your old friend's personality, and that man was a solider. This one is not."
"That is why she will be there, to balance him out and to make sure the suit he wears doesn't take control of and overwhelm the boy."
The hooded female began to walk away.
"This is a dangerous game we're playing."
"Indeed it is, but we press on in order to maintain the fragile balance of things until the proper time."
"I am aware, M.O.M. Just continue to monitor your charge closely and I'll monitor mine."
"Will do, Athena. I just hope your sister Aphrodite will do her part to push them along when the time is right."
"She will." said Athena before vanishing in a golden light.
M.O.M peered down at his charge in the darkness before vanishing himself.
End Chapter
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
End Notes: Sorry for the wait and how short it is, its just me trying to find my footing with this story, chapters will be longer. This is like my official anti hero Shinji story, (Second if you include Every Angel Has A Shadow) I just want to build him up to be that take no stuff from anyone Shinji. Like Shadow, Vegeta(Before DBZ super), or Ryu Hayabusa. Both inside and outside the suit, I know everyone is tired of wimpy Shinji, as am I that's why suggestions are needed, and Epyon will take them heart. As for the fight between Wonder Girl and Spawn, her weapons and lasso are Olympian not heavenly, or magic based so that's why they had no effect. Also the necroplasm counter might not be necessary because Shinji's not a true hellspawn, if he uses too much he won't be dragged to hell, he'll just be DE powered for a short time. But rest assured there will be the means to restore it lying around the city, in demons and monsters too . Next chapter Shinji does return to Nerv, and starts to interacting with Rei a lot more, also he'll be making headway as Spawn in the city's underbelly, and he and Wonder Girl could clash again soon, before working together.
