Asuka looked out at the sun raising overhead as she stood in the train station. Tokyo-3 was before her. As she looked on she stopped noticing her sister standing out amongst the crowd. In a blink, she was gone. For a moment the redhead foreigner wondered if that was just her mind playing tricks on her or if it was a sign that Rei was nearby. 'If that is the case then I know that I'll run into her eventually.'

Standing out in front of the train station a group of Section 2 agents walked up to her. She got the description that was given to them by the Commander. "Asuka Langley Soryu," The redhead gave them a nod. One of the agents took note of the red eyes that she had. It almost reminded them of the First Child. "The Commander sent us to take you to the Geofront."

"Well, then let's not waste any time," The sooner she met her fellow pilots and got acquainted with the headquarters the quicker she can find her sister.

Misato led both Shinji and Rei down the hallways of the headquarters to meet with their German transfer. As they continued down each of the two of them had different feelings about this. Shinji having seen from Lucy the memory of how she came to be wondering what kind of a person she was raised to be.

Rei was for probably the first time in her life excited for something. She was going to see her sister in person. In the back of her mind, she remembered her purpose given to her by the Commander. The scenario required her to get her sister onboard with it.

As they walked into another room the two of them spotted the redhead in question sitting on a chair. Her outfit constated of a yellow sundress and her Eva pilot clips still in her hair. She turned her head as Misato waved at her. Asuka's eyes widened as she saw Rei walking up with her. "Shinji, Rei this is Asuka Langley Soryu, Asuka this is Shinji Ikari the Third Child and Rei..."

"No way you're an Eva pilot as well?!" Misato didn't even get to finish before Asuka raced up to Rei. The two of them stared at one another. As the woman looked in confusion for a few moments.

Rei to the surprise of Misato practically tackled Asuka with a hug. If there was one thing most didn't know about Rei it was that she actually was rather strong physically. If Asuka had been a normal girl she would have been tossed to the ground and somewhat crushed. Asuka instead took a step back before returning the hug. "Can someone tell me what's going on?"

Misato confused expression caused a giggle to echo within Shinji's head. 'I see someone didn't get the told about their relationship,' Taken without any context Shinji mind would have pictured the two of them kissing. In fact, his teenage mind had almost formed the thought. 'You know I don't mind the thought myself~'

'But they are sisters,' Nevermind that they also were in some ways the same person as well due to sharing the same soul.

Lucy if she could she would have rubbed the back of her head at this. 'Well, I admit I am something of a pervert.' There was a small nervous laugh from her. 'Plus I am in love with Lilith you know and there is well two of them together so.'

Shinji wasn't surprised to hear this. He had long suspected that Lucy was I love with Lilith. It fit all things considered. 'So you came to earth to confess your feelings to her?'

'Actually, I came here so we could continue our relationship and become mates or as you seem to call it getting married,' Lucifer answered casually. 'We both confessed our feelings billions of years ago with the fact we both had to be sent to another world being the only reason we postponed it as long as we did.'

Shinji had to fight back the shock at this. She and Lilith were hoping to get married. Lucy came all the way to earth in order to finally get practically married. 'You don't think that they both might of inherited the love for you, me, us?'

Lucy had a giggle at this as Shinji realized he wasn't really thinking clearly. A slight blush formed on his face at this. As much as she wanted to tease him about this Lucy was actually curious herself. 'Maybe.'

Back with the two girls as soon as Rei parted she turned to Misato. She was about to explain when Gendo voice cut in. "It's due to the two of them being long-lost half-siblings Captain."

Misato looked at the two of them. They did have the same color of eyes now that she looked at it and Asuka was a bit pale but not to the extreme of being seen as an albino like Rei. Beyond that, she couldn't see anything that seemed to show that they were related. 'Maybe they each take more after the parent they don't share?'

"Captain if you don't mind I want you to take my son out to the range," He looked at the two girls. "I wish to speak with both the First and Second Child in my office."

Gendo looked as both Asuka and Rei were with him. Before him were the two keys to his plans. The two parts of Lilith. Already though he noticed that Asuka was seeming to take up the role of older and even somewhat protective sibling. Perhaps this could be used as a stepping stone to convince her to go through with Third Impact on a later date. "Now, as you might have figured out," He adjusted his glasses. "I am aware of the origins of both you and your sister."

Asuka froze up for a moment at this. It was brief but she did seem to try to move in front of Rei in a defensive manner. "Relax as you can see I have no I'll well to either of you," He sat back as Asuka calmed down to a degree. "Actually, besides me, only the Sub-Commander and Doctor Akagi know about this."

Come to think about it the diary did say that her mother's friend Yui Ikari was responsible for her creation. She would have certainly known about her. "So only you three and no one else?"

"Yes, the three of us are the only people on this base that know about it," He didn't want to bring up the fact that his wife and very likely Asuka's mother Kyoko, two others who knew the truth, were inside the Evangelions. At least not yet. "Which reminds me seeing how she knows how to treat Rei I am placing you under Doctor Akagi medical care."

To be perfectly honest Asuka never really needed to go to a doctor all her life. She has been surprisingly healthy in that regard. In hindsight, it was likely due to her being part Angel. Though given how her sister was still bandaged up there was still the whole piloting into battle to deal with. "Alright, anything else?"

"Yes, there is the matter of where you would be staying while you are here," Gendo eyes caught a glace to Rei and then back at Asuka. It had already been decided beforehand in order to make it easier for Rei to get Asuka onboard. "For the first few days you would be staying here to help you familiarize yourself with the base then you will be moving in with your sister and my son under Captain Katsuragi care."

Asuka caught the bit about his son being under the same roof as her sister. A part of her mind wondered if he had tried to take advantage of the situation. Knowing how they both looked rather developed for their age it was a possibility. 'Perhaps I should give him a little warning.'

What kind of big sister would she be if she didn't beat off anyone looking to take advantage of Rei? If need be she would literally beat them. Asuka was aware that she did have superhuman strength after all.

Shinji looked as he finally got to see were the Evangelions were kept when not in use. It took some asking but eventually, Misato decided to show him. Both Eva-00 and Eva-01 where kept partly submerged in LCL for reasons likely due to the secret of them being Cyborgs. Shinji silently wondered if his mother knew that he was watching her. 'Is it possible to get her out of there?'

Lucy thought about it. On one hand, her body was dissolved practically gone while her soul was absorbed. If the LCL was organic then it would be possible to use it place a basic generic sable to create a clone body and put her soul in it. Though a problem was that the Evangelion would likely refuse to part with it.

On another hand perhaps it was best to remove the inorganic machines and complete the Evangelions growth into a full-on Angel. Yui soul would be effectively reborn in a new body and depending on how they did it she could retain her memories. There was also one other option but that required them to regain themselves. 'Possibly though if you want her to be extracted from the Eva we are going to need to become whole with ourselves.'

Becoming whole did mean that Shinji was going to have a gender change. Although Shinji was actually wondering how that was even going to happen. Wasn't their abandoned body back in the Antarctic? 'Great just have to go to a wasteland.' No one ever said it would be easy.

"You know since her here how about we get a synchronization test?" Ritsuko words brought him out of his thoughts. The faux blonde looked at the clipboard in her hand.

Shinji was a bit hesitant to do so. He felt a nonexistent hand on his shoulder. Within his mind, Lucy gave him a comforting smile. Back, in reality, he let out a sigh. "Alright, I guess."

Yui awoke from her nap as she felt the entry plug enter back into her current form. Was there another Angel attack? No, she was still partly submerged within LCL. As the synchronization rate increased she realized that her son was within it. As the score hit fifty she reached out to him trying to make contact.

To her surprise, his A.T. field shot towards her and in a sudden turn of events, the woman found herself within a dark room. In her confusion, she looked around wondering what had happened before finding her son standing in front of her. "Shinji!"

Shinji looked at his mother. "Mom."

Two purple arms wrapped around him from behind. Yui's eyes widened as she looked at the woman behind her son. Her three eyes stared at her. A smile on her face. "A happy reunion between mother and son."

She finally got to see her. The voice that had been within her head. The person who stopped Second Impact. "Lucifer."

She gave her a wink. As she ruffled Shinji's hair. "That's right I saw you were trying to contact your son and figured I might as well lend you a hand."

Yui walked up to her son as Lucifer moved back from the two of them. Tears formed in the corner of her eyes as she hugged her son. It had been a full decade since she had last seen him. "I'm so sorry I made your father promise me that he would take care of you and it looks like I expected too much from him."

She was so mad both at him and at herself. It was thanks to her that Shinji had abandonment issues. Shinji returned the hug as Lucy watched on. As much as she wanted to let them have the moment there was one pressing matter. "I am sorry to cut this short but it the test appears to be ending."

Both mother and son looked at the ancient entity. Yui looked at her son before giving a sigh. Just went she saw her son again too. "I promise we'll talk later," She hugged her son one last time before looking at Lucy. "Kept him out of trouble if you can alright."

"Don't worry I am always watching out for him," Lucy gave her a wink. Yui was soon by herself back within the Evangelion. If she could Yui would have a small smile.

Shinji felt rather strange. For one it looked like he was watching out of his own eyes. He tried to move his arm to see if it wasn't something to do with the LCL fluid. Nothing happened as his arm didn't move. 'What's going on?!"

Lucy blinked and moved both of Shinji's hands. She blinked a few moments before realizing that she was in control of Shinji's body. 'I think we might have swap control,' Lucy didn't even think this was possible. 'Don't worry I'm certain we can switch back.'

That only calmed Shinji down a little bit. Lucy herself looked at her form with a bit of disgust. It wasn't her and yet she was now stuck in it. 'Hey, I can't help that I am a boy!'

A few minutes later Lucy in control of Shinji's body walked out of the showers. She looked at the outfit that Shinji had. Lucy wasn't a fan of it. Shinji had a lot of plan clothes with nothing to really stand out. Maybe she could see about getting him something else to wear. "There you are."

Lucy turned her head over to Asuka who was looking at her, or rather Shinji, with her arms crossed. In her vision, Shinji was temporarily replaced with Lucifer and to both of their surprises, Asuka kissed him/her. 'Wh-what?!'

Asuka eyes widened before she pulled herself off of them and slammed Shinji/Lucy into the wall. She was confused on why that had happened. "First you are not going to tell anyone that!"

"Sure, sure whatever you say." Lucy blinked as her voice was speaking from Shinji's mouth. Asuka eyes widened as the voice was familiar. The redhead dropped them as she shook her head.

Lucy for her part wondered if Asuka had unknowingly recalled some of Lilith's memories and feelings. It would explain why she randomly kissed them. "Just don't try to take advantage of my sister!"

Asuka walked off as vague images played in her mind. She couldn't see what they were but she could hear two voices talking about being together when they were both finished with their task. "I just got to ignore it and it would go away!"

Lucy watched her as she walked away. She could tell both her and Rei about it. Though there was the problem of having no proof on her claims. Even if she lets it out that she knew about their origins there was kind of the fact that Shinji was claiming that there was another Seed of Knowledge. With a sigh, she whispered to herself. "Well, that is one easy fix gone." She stopped before realizing that she was speaking with her voice instead of Shinji's. 'I'm going to need to sound like him until we figure out how to change control back.'

After finally managing to get the strange thoughts out of her head Asuka figured she might as well see where her sister was currently living. To her relief, Shinji didn't come with her, Misato, and Rei. He said he was going to go for a walk and be home before curfew or something. The only reason Misato let it happen was due to the fact that he would have Section 2 following him just in case something happened.

Asuka looked at the room that her sister lived it. The room that she would share when she moved in. Surprisingly there wasn't much of anything other than a box. "Is this all that you own?"

All she saw was a few books, a broken pair of glasses, and her underwear which happened to be in the box. Rei answered with a nod. Asuka looked at the school uniform that she was wearing. "Please tell me that isn't the only thing you ever wear."

"It is sufficient for all I need it for." Rei answer was not one that Asuka expected to hear. She heard of minimalist but this was just a bit too much.

'She's doesn't even she much emotion about it.' It was like her sister was just devoid of normal human emotions. Even if she wasn't technically human Asuka could say from experience that they had human feelings. "Alright, we are going to go to the mall and get you some actual clothes tomorrow."

Rei wondered why that was important. There wasn't any real reason that she would need any other outfit. Especially given that in the end, she would be dead when her purpose was done with. "I don't see why I would need another outfit."

For a few moments, Asuka wondered if her sister had been mentally abused at some point. She stopped as a memory of her feeling like She was being choked replayed in her mind. 'Mein Gott!' That would explain a lot. For a moment she wondered if she had been abused by her previous caretaker for what she was. 'When I get my hands on the person who did this!'

An hour later Misato walked back into the apartment to hear several loud curse words in German. Walking in she saw Asuka looking at her laptop. "Verdammt ihn!" Asuka had looked up the neighborhood that the Commander had made Rei live in. "He placed her in a rundown building!"

Misato had an idea of what she was talking about. She had visited Rei's apartment to get her stuff. The place was completely run down. With the building around it being demolished. Even her apartment was only just barely above falling apart. "I guess Rei told you of where she used to live."

Oh, she did after Asuka managed to get her to talk about her time at NERV. From what Rei told her she had spent her whole life in the Geofront up until a year ago. No school, barely any interaction with other people, and what's more she talked about how she had only gotten a few books to read and the occasional documentary to watch. Rei seemed to think nothing of it. "More than that."

Misato noticed the bitterness on her tone. The nagging question that had been on her mind for a while now came back again. "Hey, so do you and Rei share the same father?"

Asuka was about to point out she didn't have a father. She stopped herself as she remembered the Commander's words. Misato didn't know the origin of her and Rei. "Yes, I just found out two days ago."

Misato wondered what kind of horrible man would leave two different women with a kid and runoff. At the thought of kids, Misato felt a wave of sadness come over her. Her father did manage to save her life, but the effects of what had happened during the ill-fated expedition to Antarctica that triggered Second Impact left its mark. She was sterile unable to have kids of her own. It was kind of a gut punch to know that the option to have kids or not was taken from her.

A bit of drinking would help push those thoughts out of her mind. "Well, you seem to be taking up the role of a big sister between the both of you," Misato paused for a moment. "Truth be told I think it might have a good effect on Rei," Actually having a family member might get her to open up.

The sound of the front door opening up caught their attention. Lucy, in control of Shinji's body, walked in with a few shopping bags in hand. The NERV ID card that they were given could be used as a sort of credit card. On that front, as Lucy found out they did get paid rather well, and to add on they had quit the account already given. 'I don't know why you decided to get me something else to wear.'

'Because everything you have is so simple and I figured you could use something to stand out,' Lucy stopped as she saw Asuka who was staring back at her. The thing from just a few hours ago was still fresh on her mind.

Asuka for a moment saw a vision of two objecting hanging over the shy. A purple three-eyed giant and what she felt was her holding hands and making a promise in a language she had no idea how to speak but could still understand. "It's a promise then when we both get done we'll seek each other out and finally become mates."

A voice spoke which to Asuka's surprised sounded like it was her who was talking. "I will miss you Lucifer until then."

"I know Lilith."

Asuka shook her head at this. It was a memory, not one of her own but one of the beings whose soul she had. In her soul, she knew that it was the case. 'It's just nothing.'

Kaworu sighed as he just listened to the music. There was barely anything for him to do and it wasn't like SEELE didn't keep a close eye on him. At least that was what they told him. He suspected they had their attention on something else. 'I wonder are they planning to find her?'

He had Adam's soul within him and some of the progenitor's memories. The one that he recalled the most was the last few moments of his life. When another Seed of Knowledge descended from the sky and fought him. The fight did end with Adam's defeat but the injuries he inflicted was likely too much for her and if she didn't die it's likely she retreated into an embryo form as well.

He pulled up his computer and turned off the music. After some tipping, he managed to disable the tracker they put into the thing. Kaworu had long since figured out how to bypass their attempt at keeping tabs on him when he used their systems. Because of this, he was able to access most of their files whenever he wanted. "So the Second Child's gone to Japan ahead of what they expected?"

He tried to access the file on Project Revelation but found that he couldn't. The firewall they had on it was, to put it simply, beyond anything that anyone but they could afford. He was able to look at the planned expedition they had to the Antarctic. "Seems they are going to find her," If they figure out that she is a Seed of Knowledge its very likely they would be planning to use her as a means to cause Third Impact their way. "That's assuming they survive."

Despite being seemingly a lifeless wasteland there was something that was living there. At least the second expedition had said that there was. Kaworu did think that it was possible. While a very, very, very unlike scenario, it could be that much like the Evangelions being born from the flesh of Adam that something akin to an Angel could have been born in the aftermath of the battle between Adam and the other Seed of Knowledge. 'I could try to warn one of them.'

As he continued to look through the files he stopped as he noticed something. He didn't know why he had overlooked it the other times he hacked into the system. "What you know I am not tracked like they tried to tell me."

SEELE must have expected him to not learn how to hack into their mainframe. Unfortunately for them being bored with little to do and a computer that plays only so much was just asking for him to get creative. With the illusion gone he wondered what he could do. "You know I think I might go see Mari in person for once."

Well, I been implying that for awhile now that Lilith and Lucifer/Lucy had a deep connection. Oh, and Kaworu now rouge. Then again given he is the Angel of Free Will you can see were that will go. So take your bests on how long Lucy will remain in control of Shinji.

Cya all later.
