It had been three days since my son's prepared to fight against that twin angel with Second and First Pilot. They definitely deserved a nice visit from the great Commander. It's the least thing I could do after being so busy with work for days. Damn that robotic fossil bastard.

And-oh! There was Hikari, Kensuke and Touji already.

"Ah, you two! And you are..."

"Class representative Horaki Hikari. We're here to see Asuka and Shinji. What are you here for, Commander?" whoa! It turned out Hikari knew me! Her parents must be working around NERV as well.

Oh shit. That means some sick bastard really killed close relatives of many NERV workers at minimum just to get more than three pilot candidates. And yeah, you didn't need dead mom all the time, just a relative with decent enough emotional bond for you. Although the closer the bond was, the stronger the sync rate will be. And for most of time, nothing could beat the love of mother...

"That's Shinji's father, Class Rep!" Touji explained.

"Oh. Well, we can just give it to you so we won't disturb your son and-"

"Nonono! You three are welcome here. But let me tell you: Shinji and Asuka are currently on training to defeat the 7th Angel. Rei's here to train her hand-to-hand combat skill as well. So don't bother them too much."

"Really? Wow, and here I already mailed what she missed on school like usual."

"...Rei really missed school that much, didn't she?" man, I need to reschedule Rei's usual tank routine. If she had to go with the Instrumentality, she needed several real thinkers. Can't just use me and my kid to make it work. And she needed to have a bare minimum knowledge of the good, the bad and the ugly of society to know how to do that.

But first, let me take a look inside the apartment with the keyhole and-

Uh oh. Those two darned kids were trading saliva again. And this time, my son did not need to pay for something. Yeah, those two were in love, and they grew up so fast. Maybe a little too fast.

"Commander?"

"Ah, I think Asuka's not in the apartment right now," I tried to wave them away to prevent any insanity from seeing Shinji and Rei being together, but I couldn't help myself to see more. Also what I said's probably the truth. There was no way Asuka would tolerate the two making out in the middle of the apartment.

Okay, Rei. I've told you no pants and zipper game! Look at Shinji, girl. He's in verge of heart attack from all your doings!

"Hey! Anyone home?" what we've heard were choked Rei, my son coughed out a response, and audible scrambling on the house. It took them long enough to open the door, and even then they still had messed hair and wrinkled clothes. It was so obvious what they were doing, even to someone who didn't peeking at the keyhole.

Rei, Shinji, I expected better coverup, and you two disappointed me.

"...What in Kami's name were you two doing?" Hikari asked while Touji and Kensuke made kissy-kissy face behind her, making both children under my control blushed harder.

Well, take it in good stride, you two. At least the trio didn't see you in that hideous 80s fashion.

"Now Rei, what I've told you about going too fast?" I asked, leaving Shinji to be with himself and his three friends. It looked petty, but Rei had no one but me and Shinji.

Oh, who am I kidding. The three won't even be brave enough to do anything with Rei. I just wanted to keep the mood light enough with all the teasing, lol.

"I am sorry, Commander. Shinji's enjoyed all that I've done, and I can't help myself after seeing how much he appreciates me..." the girl couldn't even look at my eyes. Oh boy, she was shamed!

"I understand, but still...you two need to control yourself. Shinji's the kind of boy who often see himself as burden, so there's always a chance he'll feel lower instead of proud for dating a pretty girl like you. And with how you get so aggressive, he might feel bad..."

"It won't happen again," Rei reassured, still bowing her head in shame.

"Hey, it's new with you two, so considering all things, you didn't mess up that badly," I tried to encourage Rei a bit. "I mean you two really needed to keep your head high. There will be more turbulent time, like when you need to tell who you are exactly."

"Sir, can you tell me my exact creation's purpose? You told me recently that Instrumentality wasn't my original purpose."

"Well, initially we just wanted to create a dummy system, both because SEELE need more data and also because we wanted to beat them in their own game. After a while however we concluded a contaminated human genetics from an angel experiment is needed, just like Nagisa himself, especially since I also decided that we need to take control of Instrumentality. So that's when I, with hope that I didn't end up insulting Yui's name, using what we salvaged of her. And I'll tell you girl, I'd rather forget what we got from her remains. I mean holy god, it was the ugliest thing I ever see in my life! Half of the workers there gagged as soon as we see what became of her!"

"I see. How much of her's me, anyway?" Rei said, not flinching a bit that she was created from what could be described as blob of flesh.

"I didn't even want to find out the exact data, but I had to read the bare minimum of the report, and Yui's pure, surviving DNA is at low 5 percents at most. Luckily, there's much more of her partially undamaged DNA, enough to map her overall characteristics. All we need is to use DNA from random people with one or two similar facial structures to reconstruct all of it, and we created a girl that looked like Yui, but actually don't come that close. You may have lots of genetics from Eskimo people as far as I know!"

Rei blinked. A lot. Wow Rei, you're a racist! I mean this was what made you question everything? "...Really sir?"

"Well yeah! Do you know how Yui looked in her youth? She was still pretty, but much plain-looking, like Shinji. You're comparatively gorgeous compared to young Yui! Maybe in the future you'd look more similar, maybe you'd look even prettier, but I think that already showed that you're different."

"So that's how far my similarity with your wife is. Thank you for the explanation, Commander."

"Uh, what are you two talking about? Why's Rei talking about her similarity with your wife, sir?" Hikari looked into the room, she looked like she begged to me to say something that showed it wasn't that bonkers. Luckily, it wasn't hard to make an explanation.

"Oh, it's just about how Rei reminded me of my wife sometimes, and the last action between her and Shinji made it even so," I winked at Rei. Yeah when Kozou's around, sometimes we'd get some 'hot coffee time' by claiming we're going to review some data. Oh, what a life that we had.

"Sir..." Rei bowed down her head, tried to hide her reddened cheeks. She's really cute!

"Oh my god! Rei's embarrassed! Sir, i...it is how she acted all around you and Shinji?"

"Recently yes, Hikari. Sometimes the girl's still as indifferent to me," woah, Rei's ticked by that comment? I could see her tried to pierce my mind with that gaze. "Anyway, why are you here?"

"I just want to tell you that Asuka's here now, sir."

"Well, better be make sure to greet her," I said to the girls. We walked back to the main room, where Shinji looked even redder than Rei was. Judging by her smug smile, it seemed she already found out about it.

"So you two ended up using the time I go to grocery, huh? Ha! So much for Ayanami's incredible control."

"Pilot Sohryu, I can you it won't happen again."

"She just got her medication changed, Sohryu. It made her feeling better, but many of her numbed emotions ended up resurfacing."

"Yeah, whatever. So, you're looking to see us in action, right?" she's even more energized due to me talking about her mother's emails, I could see some of her spirit that didn't look fake.

"That's right. Show us what you three made," I ordered, and Asuka happily shouted several of the moves she taught at the other pilots. Wow, I didn't know Rei could kick that high.

After all of those sick moves, I could say that Asuka could be a fine martial arts instructor. Damn, the girl's talented.

"Okay, that looked great! Nice job, Asuka. Now, where's the highly choreographed fight that will end up with the core of the twin angels smashed at the same time?"

Asuka's proud look that turned into something blank told me that she did not even think of it. "You can't be serious. I saved you from wearing leotard and doing Dance Dance Revolution for 7 days, and you don't even bother to make it?"

"Sir, with all due respect, it's already tough to teach these two to just able to do a decent axe kick! Add that with the sync talk training, and I ended up...forgetting it."

"Hey! Are you implying we are not good enough?" the other two shouted...at the same time.

"Uh, why's these two that ended up syncing with each others? It's supposed to be you and Shinji."

"We do the syncing thing!" now the three ended up talking in synchronization instead. Asuka had to cough to get a hold of the situation before she explained, "It's just that currently, Third and First Child are more synchronized. However, I promise we can get to the point you asked."

"So you tested the syncing training by asking Rei to do it first?"

"Well, it's feel weird to syncing with a guy you just met a week ago..." the girl admitted.

"True, but still...you need to coordinate with each others so the attack will connect at exact time, and the only way to do it is to make. Asuka, how long did you use Rei for the synchronization talk training?"

"Um, one day? After that I could see how synchronize your talk can help in this regime, so I called Shinji to start doing it with me also. Even got Rei to do it with me as well."

"You're lucky, because if you ordered Rei to do that sync training for a longer period, I'll have no choice but to make a...new training arrangement."

Asuka's face ended up going red. That's right, girl. Let the hate flow through you! "No one will take away my first proper angel fight! Shinji, you'll perfect the flying kick, and you'll do it!"

"But we're still far from doing the roundhouse kick!"

"Well excuse me from forgetting about the angel's agility!"

"You also told me roundhouse kick's the finisher!"

With both of them got into another petty argument, Touji and his crush asked me about whether it could really work, and even Kensuke offered his service to me. I assured them that everything's going according to plan, and with that Gendo pose, not one of them bothered to question me again.

Well, Rei's there to nuke the angels again, just in case it didn't work.

Four days later...

"See, you three? Everything going according to plan! And no nuke needed to be blown"

Yup. Aside from the less acrobatic moves (due to it never being about dance in the first place), it went just like what we wanted. Them both kicked the core at the same time, and the angel exploded. We did not even need to send Rei to the fight.

Then again, I did not know if I truly wanted Rei to enter the fight. From what Shinji said, Asuka showed some... vague interest in him, and something snapped with Rei due to that. They ended up hating each others just like the canon, except it wasn't due to their differences. It was more like girls fighting for the boy they liked, and the first girl extra wanted to win.

So yeah, for the first time, it was Rei who scorned Asuka more.

"Commander, you brought the three here just to stroke your ego? How about our security!" Misato screamed while she pointed at Shinji's classmates.

"Misato, public opinion matter to us. And they're not just children of our employee, but two of them already got to know why they should respect our privacy," I referred to Touji and Kensuke's incident.

"But we don't answer to public! They're going to be scared by the gore and blood in the first place, and then they'll call us barbaric!" she tried to refute my point.

"Soon we will. Kaji have been testing our PR by appearing on several cities, and people thought he's Hellspawn came into life, and just as cool. As long as we distract them by the cool armor and hide the part like how our robots contains intestines, we're good!"

Misato looked at the other superiors, only to find out they had nothing to say about it. "R...Ritsuko, Fuyutsuki-san. You don't have objection?"

"We have several countries that's unwilling to send a cent to us due to our secrecy. I think it can be helpful to us, showing how we work a little," nice point, my darling.

"Oh, you're just saying that because you love his joystick too much, you cheap... doctor!" what the fuck. Not only you accused Ritsuko of being my sexual slave, you also made everyone spat their caramel tea! That came out of your pocket, Major!

"At least my man don't have tentacles!" nice insult there.

"THAT'S IT!" the two friends ended up fighting like cats, and none of us dared to break it.

"Uh, is Mr. Kaji available?" Oh yeah. Thank you for reminded us that we just defeated the angel, Shinji.

"We're going ahead of schedule, so he's still 30 minutes away."

"Well, can you tell him to go faster? Rei's, uh, currently chasing Asuka with an N2 bomb in her hand, and they hogged the nearest umbilical cords, so my power already ran out."

"Wait what?" Maya asked, just as shocked as the rest of us.

"Well things happened, mostly accident and a little tease, and Rei who tried to check on us got...furious."

"AAAAGH! HELP ME!"

"I have told you he is not available as suitor anymore, so accept your punishment!" oh god, the feed really showed Rei chasing Asuka!

"But I didn't do anything! Except accidentally touching his thigh!"

"You told him you have some prize for him! And you used a seductive tone on top of that!"

"That's because I only teased the wimp, you crazy bitch!" Rei ended up accelerating from both insults, and Asuka had to run even faster.

"I shouldn't have stared at their breasts last night, or at least stared at Rei's first..."

Everyone (except the still fighting catwomen) ended up speechless, not knowing what to say, and what to do. That perverted comment from Shinji was the least bizarre thing out of all the fiasco. It took a long time before I managed to create an order, I even had to remove my glasses with shaken hand.

"Fuyutsuki, tell Kaji to fly faster. Maya, tell Ritsuko to inspect Rei after this. Preferably with psychiatrist joined it..." I could only hope they did not ended up drugged her with depressants again.

"Whoa! A Yanderei in action!" Touji made a pun, only to got boo from Kensuke, and Aoba showed him the door. Poor boy.

Well that's the end of the new chapter. Sorry for turned Rei super OOC. Also Happy New Year for everyone!
