For those of you how are reading, I have to admit that I've completed this chapter, two days after I released my newest chapter of Saiyan of Marvel (The Night Before the Tournament), completing at least more then half during Saturday. By now, I'm possible ahead by 12 days. BY now, I finished another chapter for Lelouch of the Atom. With this, I don't have worry about making on time. :) Anyways, enjoy this new chapter.

SHIELD Facility, Patent Room
New York, Lake Ontario

A pair of eyes starts to open from a extended sleep. They wake to a white ceiling, with lights in the middle of the room. The head of who the eyes belong to turns to the left side to see a window which shows a lake of blue water from a distance.

"Water?", wonders Shinji as he sees the sparkling lake.

For some reason, Shinji is a bit mesmerize from watching this lake of water with lushes trees around it. It would have felt more beautiful if gray clouds weren't covering the sun. Even so, it was interesting for Shinji.

"What happened?", Shinji wonders himself.

Suddenly, when trying to remember last thing he did, he remembers collapsing to the ground, after looking at something in his hands. Blood. He had blood on his hands and a knife. He remembers a body dropping. The body of someone he doesn't recognize. It was then, that Shinji's remember Adrian Matthews, the man who took him and countless others hostage. As well, as… the one who killed Adrian was Shinji.

"That right.", Shinji says to himself in a depressed tone, "I killed someone."

Shinji looks at his right hand. The hand that had someone's blood running running on his arm when he stabbed him. He remembers looking at Adrian in the eyes when he did it. The eyes of some who was dying, looking at him.

"I really did kill someone."

The weight of what Shinji says, along with memories of blood and bone, finally reaches Shinji as he felt something in his throat coming. Luckily, there was a trash bin next to him, so he grabs it and throws up on it. Tears are coming out of his eyes, but is from the result of throwing up. As he stops, the door in the room opens as Shinji turns, with a bit of vomit on his lips, to see a nurse with long raven colored hair, tied to a pony tail, there. She pages for a doctor as she walks over to the left side of the bed with a clipboard.

"Hello Shinji.", the nurse greets as she grabs a small towel from a small cabinet in the corner away from the bed, "I'm your nurse, Ms. Andy. Here is a towel to wipe yourself with."

She hands Shinji a towel to wipe the vomit off his mouth. He looks for a second before talking to the nurse.

"Umm, Ms. Andy?", says Shinji, "Where am I?"
"Your in a SHIELD Facility located near Lake Ontario.", answers Nurse Andy.
"Lake Ontario?", questions Shinji in his confused tone.
"It a giant lake here in New York that touches Canada as well.", answers Nurse Andy as Shinji has an idea where that is.
"O-okay.", says Shinji as he looks around, "Umm… what going to happen now?"
"Well I need to ask some medical questions first before.", says the nurse as she pulls out a pen, then a mirror, which she shows in front of Shinji, "Do you know who this person is?"

For a second, Shinji, has case of deja vu as he mistook Ms. Andy to another nurse with brown hair. He came of a trance as he answers her question.

"Yes."

Two Hours Later

After answering the nurse's questions, a nice old doctor came in, named Dr. Lawton, who did a physical examination on Shinji. From blood pressure exam to heart rate exam, he even did testicular exam, although it made Shinji uncomfortable. In the, it was discovered that besides having a incredible respiration rate, Shinji's body is a completely normal 14 year old boy. After that, they took Shinji to a bio-examination, where he was place in a pod where he was being scanned around him for about 15-20 minutes. After, Shinji was taken to his room and lay in bed, where he was given his SDAT tape player. Since then, Shinji had just been in bed, listening to the SDAT.

"I hate this.", thought Shinji as he plays the memories of him stabbing Adrian over and over in his head.

He traces his memories back to when he was first in the carrier to his fainting in the evacuation harrier. He wonders where Blake and Dr. Kursunada are. But most of all, he remembers what happened before he stabs Adrian.

"You don't deserve to be happy."

Shinji looks at his right hand as he imagines it being covered in blood. His face look miserable as he thought of the eyes Adrian made when looking at him. He looked someone in the eye and killed him. Shinji doesn't why he did it.

Was it because he wanted to stop Adrian? Did he wanted to save everybody after what happened with the chef? Or the guilt from the figure made him do it? He doesn't know. He doesn't know himself that well. All Shinji could think of, is the figure's words and that fact that he himself, is murderer.

"I don't deserve to be happy?"

Shinji buries his face to his pillow as he doesn't know what to do now. Is he going to stay here for the rest of his life? Is someone coming to get him? Shinji wonders who controlling Shinji's fate right now as the only thing Shinji can do is stay here. Even if he were to run away, where would he go? Will people close to that person will come and kill him? Shinji is afraid of the future. So many questions, yet nothing is giving him answers. And some of the answer he would not like.

The tape changes to next song, track 28 and 5 seconds later after that, the door opens. Shinji peeks to see Nurse Andy, who opened the door, but not coming in.

"Shinji. You have a guest.", announces Nurse Andy as an adult male comes in, Blake.
"Thank you.", says Blake as he comes in as the nurse checks him out before leaving.

Blake stands there, between the door and bed, feeling really uncomfortable as the two just look at each other. The atmosphere felt negative, as Blake then turns away to grabs chair across the bed as Shinji turns to the left side of the room. Blake grabs the chair and places it in the between the right wall and the bed and seats in it. For about 10 seconds, there is moment of silence as the two don't know what to the say to the other. Blake promised to protect Shinji, but couldn't and it resulted in Shinji killing someone. Shinji doesn't blame Blake. He doesn't want to, but he doesn't know why they can't say anything to each other. Even if Blake promised to protect him, the reality is that this is the distance between the two. A distance between unknown people.

"Listen…", Blake says before pausing trying to find the right words, "I heard about what happened. I-I'm sorry."
"Don't be.", Shinji finally says to Blake, "It not your fault that happened. You didn't know. I didn't know. It's okay."
"It's not okay!", says out loud Blake with frustration before calming down, "It's not okay. That guy, Adrian. He was spy who taken a life of a guy with three kids. He taken you, a kid hostage just so he can live. In a way, he deserve to die. Don't let yourself feel bad for what a happened."

Shinji stays silent as Blake gets a bit more frustrated.

"Listen. You don't deserve to experience that.", Blake says as he tries to think of what to say to Shinji after everything Shinji has experienced, "The point is that you need help and I'm willing to help you."
"I told you it's okay.", Shinji says again before Blake makes another outburst.
"Shinji, it's not okay.", yells Blake as Shinji flinches, causing Blake to lower his voice, "What I'm trying to say is… is-"

Blake stops talking as he doesn't know what else to say. He really doesn't know how to handle Shinji, a normal, yet not so normal 14 year old boy he just met. As seconds pass, the silence starts to become normal and normal as the distance between the two remains the same.

"I hate this.", thought Blake, thinking about the silence before turning his thoughts to Shinji, "I try to get through to him, yet he is pushing me away. Mike, was I really this difficult as well?"

The door opens again, as the two turns to see four people there. Two of whom were soldiers with clear protective mask and with high grade assault rifles in their arms, standing between the two men, Nick Fury and Dum Dum Dugan.

He signals the two to guard the door as he enters the room and closes the door. Blake immediately stands up and salutes.

"Director, Commander.", greets the saluting Blake.
"At ease soldier.", Dugan says to Blake as he Blake lowers his arms.

Shinji looks at Fury, who stare back at him with a serious look. Shinji is intimated by Fury, but Dugan starts to put him at ease.

"How are you feeling there, son?", Dugan asks in a friendly tone.
"I'm doing good…", says Shinji who pauses for a bit, "sir."
"You experienced some traumatic, I can tell when someone not feeling good.", says Dugan with a laugh after, "I had about 60 years of experience to tell a liar."
"60 years?", Shinji repeats confused, "But, you don't look that old."
"I'm much older then what you think.", says Dugan as he introduce himself, "My name is Dun Dun Dugan. I'm a commander from SHIELD. It nice to meet you Shinji Ikari."

Dugan extends his hand as the same time Shinji sits up straight and bows out of instincts. There was slight moment of embarrassment, before Shinji extends his hand and Dugan bows out of a sign of respect for Shinji's culture, creating another moment of embarrassment.

"Let just shakes hands.", suggests Dugan as Shinji nods, finally shaking hands. Dugan then turns his head at Fury, "And this is Blake and I's superior. Colonel Nicholas J. Fury, Director of SHIELD."

Nick Fury walks up to Shinji, as Shinji became little scared. For some reason, he was afraid of this man. He was the one who currently controls Shinji's fate. That is scary thought for him. But it not just that. It was his eyepatch, that had a familiar feeling to him. Something that intimates him. But to his surprise, Nick Fury merely extends his hand.

"Son, you helped saved the lives of more then a dozen non-combatant for what you did. You have my thanks.", says Fury as Shinji just stood there surprised.

Shinji slowly extends his right hand and shakes Nick Fury's hand. It was a bit uncomfortable, but it took weight off for Shinji.

"Be a little more firm in your handshakes.", Fury suggests to Shinji, which catches Shinji by surprise, "It tells people you can handle yourself."
"Yes sir.", Shinji says automatically, "Sorry."
"Don't apologize. Your not one of my men, so don't be.", Fury says as he grabs a chair and sits down in front of Shinji's bed.
"Sir, I don't understand. What going on here?", Blake asks to his boss.
"Agent Saunders, we have things to discuss to Shinji here.", answers Dugan, "You'll stay here since your his handler."
"Yes sir.", says Blake as he sits down.
"What do you want from me?", Shinji asks as Dum Dum pulls out a file.
"We have number of things to discuss Shinji.", Dugan explains, "The first is that do you recognized this thing?"

Dugan gives Shinji a picture of EVA-13. The picture shows EVA-13 laying down on a floor somewhere with it's four hands being held down by metal to the floor. At that time, Shinji sees a vision of something similar to it, but with two eyes, EVA-01.

"From what we've gathered from the computer in the cockpit, this is called Evangelion Unit 13.", explains Dugan as Shinji's eyes widen a bit from the word "Evangelion".
"Evangelion.", Shinji repeats silently as he answers to Dugan, "I don't know much about this stuff. At least I don't think so."
"Then how about this?", Dugan says as he gives Shinji a picture of one of the Spear of Longinus, which is on the floor of a different place.

Shinji looks at the picture of the spear. A first, he didn't think much of it. But their was a voice in his head. A memory of the past.

"Longinus and Cassius. We need the two spears."

"Longinus?", says Shinji, not realizing he said it out loud.
"Can you repeat that?", asks Fury as he stares at Shinji.
"Umm…",a hesitated Shinji says as he tries to say something, "I think I have the name, but I don't know where I heard of it. I just don't know… I think."
"The you know what it is?", Fury questions as Shinji gets little scared.
"I think it's called Longinus. That's all I remember. I swear. I really don't remember."
"Relax Shinji.", Dugan says as he tries to calm things down, "We are not judging you. Some people are are thinking of you as truly ignorant of the things we are giving you. The fact that you are telling everything you know means you are trustworthy."
"Trustworthy.", Shinji whispers to himself.
"Now, we've done some research on what could be your identity.", Dugan says as he starts explaining what they found, "We looked around for the name Shinji Ikari in Japan. Birth records, ownership, anything that could help us with you. We found some names, but not of them fit your description. We are doing a worldwide search, but I'm afraid you are an unknown in this world."
"I see.", says Shinji who wasn't hoping for much, and even deep down, properly knew this would happen, "So what are you going to do with me?"
"Don't worry. No harm will come to you.", assures Dugan, "We just need to do some tests and allow you to give us information. We'll take care of you."
"Okay.", Shinji said softly, but doesn't want to accept it.
"Now, he have the results to bio-examanation. And we heard about your powers from Blake.", explains Dugan as Shinji take peek at Blake, who looks away, "And as far as we can tell, your 100% percent human."

This shocks both Shinji and Blake as Blake quickly walks up and looks at the paper Dugan has. It has bits of Shinji's DNA and the substance in his body. Everything that makes a normal human.

"How is this possible?", questions Blake.
"The only thing unusual about you Shinji is that your tissues is more packed, making your skin a little tougher then most, but not superhuman. As well as, possibly, your endurance.", Dugan explaining as Shinji is surprised.
"I thought when someone has power, their DNA changes.", Blake mentions.
"I don't know, but the researchers here say that how Shinji manages to crate barriers might be something more deeper then normal biology.", informs Dugan, "Maybe his powers don't actually effect his DNA."
"Are you serious?", asks Blake who couldn't believe it.
"That what they say.", says Dugan as he turns to Shinji, "Shinji, I'm sorry, but I think we have to run some more test, so you may be here for awhile."

Shinji just stood silent as he nods with his hair covering his eyes. Blake can tell that Shinji doesn't like this as well as Dugan and Fury, but the situation with Shinji is a complex one.

"Look on the bright side.", says Dugan as he grabs the television control, "This place get satellite so you have many channels to watch as well free food to eat. Just use your head and the your time here will just fly by."
"I'll try.", said Shinji, who feels a bit better their trying to cheer him up.
"Good. Now we have to leave. ", announces Dugan as he and Fury gets up, "Your handler, Agent Blake will come by time to time and check on your situation."

Shinji turns to Blake as they both made eye contact before both look the other way.

"Now if you excuse us.", said Dugan as him and Fury leaves.

Shinji just sat on his bed, looking confused and worried about what going to happen know. Blake just sat on his chair, wondering what to do or say to Shinji after that development. There only one topic Blake could think of to start a conversation with Shinji.

"So what do you think of my boss.", asks Blake as Shinji turns to him.
"A little scary.", answers Shinji as Blake wears a goofy smile.
"At least you handled your first meeting better then me.", complements Blake as he laughs a bit, "When I first met him, he gave me so much crap for my long hair. He called me out so harshly, I drop about a 100 self-esteem points back then. It wasn't until I prove myself as an agent that I was allow to grow back my hair."

Shinji smiles a bit from that story. It wasn't a truly genuine one, but more like a grateful one for Blake letting him tell something about himself. Blake then goes up to Shinji's ear and whispers something.

"I'm not allowed to tell you this, but the Nick Fury that came here isn't actually him.", whispers Blake as that made Shinji confuse on what that means.
"What are you talking about?", wonders Shinji as Blake smiles.
"The true is that Fury has a bunch of these robots that make appearances for him. They record what happened for him to watch later, they act like him sometimes, and even fight as well.", Blake explains, "They are called Life Decoy Models or LMDs.
"LMDs?", repeats Shinji as he couldn't believe it.
"That right, SHIELD has the coolest toys in it's arsenal.", informs Blake, "Created most of the smartest guys in this world. We have things like pulse rifles, which can destroy a single jet, these VTOLs that can become a jet, Mandroid armors, impact suits whose physics came from aliens, plasma pistols. Just about any kind of weapon."
"Did you say, "aliens"?", wonders Shinji, "They don't exist, do they?"

Blake realizes that Shinji truly doesn't have much knowledge about this world, causing Blake to think that maybe Shinji's world doesn't what that feeling of wonder this world has. Finally finding something to help him smooth things out with Shinji, Blake leaves the room.

"I'll be back!", Blake yells to Shinji as he opens the door, "I need to borrow something.

Blake gets out of the room, leaving Shinji alone again, as Shinji just sits there with a confused expression on his face. Blake came back moments later with something on his hand. A laptop with internet connection.

"Shinji, my boy...", says Blake as he closes the door with a pretty spirited look on his face, "prepare to see things you thought you'd never see."

The next two hours were just Blake showing stuff to Shinji, who is amazed and marveled by this new world he ended up in. The first thing Blake shows to Shinji, is new pictures and video of two races of aliens, the Kree and the Skrulls. The images of green creatures who can shape-shift and blue men with white hair startles and awes Shinji.

"These things can't be real.", Shinji says as Blake laughs.
"Unfortunately, they are."
"But, how do you guys stop them.", asks Shinji.
"To be honest, it not just SHIELD, it mostly the superheroes here.", admits Blake as Shinji remembers Dr. Kursunada.
"The doctor back then.", Shinji wants to asks about, "What happened to him?"
"Last I heard, he bring taken to a secure location. We've actually hired him to become a new researcher or something, so he should be okay."
"I see.", says Shinji as he thought about the superheroes that Dr. Kursunada told him about, "So can you tell me more about these "superheroes"."
"Okay."

When thinking about superheroes, Blake thoughts to turn to the Avengers. Blake starts high as he shows videos of Thor, who is ether summoning lightning and storms or hitting somebody so hard, the windows of buildings crack. This amazes Shinji that an actual god is here, as Blake starts showing him the Hulk next. Time flies as Blake shows him Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and every well non known superhero. He showed him videos of Wolverine healing from a life threatening injury, a broadcast of the Thing fighting a powerful cosmic being called The Champion and refusing to go down, the first appearance of the Silver Surfer and Galactus on Earth, even old footage of the original Human Torch, Namor, and Captain America back in the 1940's.

Blake also start explaining things like Atlantis, Inhumans and their home, Attilan, Mutants and the X-Men, Krakoa, a living island off the coast of Africa, magic, the Blue Area of the Moon, an artificial, Earth like environment of the far side of the moon and Savage Land, an prehistoric island hidden in Antarctica. Shinji's eyes just peel on the screen of the laptop filled with this knowledge of the marvels of the this world. A bright smile appears of his face as the amazingness over took him.

"Incredible.", says Shinji as he looks at the SHIELD owned photos of Savage Land, "This is incredible. I can't believe such things actually exist. It's so amazing!"
"I know.", admits Blake, even thought he knows that things aren't as great as they appear, "When you look at things before the Fantastic Four, before what some people called the Age of Marvels, it's easier to amazed at this stuff."
"Age of Marvels?", wonders Shinji, "But didn't it start with the original Human Torch?"
"Actually, I heard it started a long time ago, somewhere in the B.C time. But people think it happened when the Fantastic Four came in because that when things like aliens, mutants, and magic, as well as all these superheroes just start pouring in.", explains Blake.
"But, this is really amazing.", softly said Shinji with a soft smile of his face, "All of this."
"Yeah."

There is a moment of silence as Shinji scans through the laptop. Blake feels the air between has improved and hopes for more cooperation with Shinji. Shinji stops looking at the laptop and looks at Blake as he starts getting a guilty face.

"Umm…", says softly Shinji as he tries to say something, "Back in that carrier. The chef. It's my fault."
"How is it your fault?", asks Blake.
"I-I could have saved him.", admits Shinji as Blake listens carefully, "I… finally know how to use my power. And in… when that man pulled his gun, I didn't do anything."

This surprises Blake as Shinji's voice becomes more hapless.

"There was his knife that landed next to me, and I didn't do anything, until it was too late.", Shinji continues as he grabs his head, "I was scared. So scared. I hated that. I hated what happened to me. And it ended with somebody dying. It's my fault. My fault. My fault."

Suddenly, Blake snaps his fingers in front of Shinji's face as Shinji looks up at Blake.

"It's not your fault.", declares Blake as Shinji's eyes widen, "I don't blame you. You are a 14 year old kid. Somebody who shouldn't be in a situation like that. So stop blaming yourself and live on. What happened to Mac was Adrian's fault, not yours. He the one with the gun. Don't forget in the end, you saved everyone else. You stopped a bad person. You're better then you think your are."

Shinji's ears hears what is Blake's saying, but there is another voice that appears in Shinji's head.

"You really are the worst."

"No.", said Shinji as he closes the laptop and lays down in bed and says with dead eyes, "No, I'm not. I don't think I'm such a good person."

In a few moments, Shinji has gone from a kid living in a fairy tale, back to his sullen self. Blake tries to say something to make him feel better, but couldn't. Blake doesn't know well except only for about 3 hours combined. Blake doesn't know what to say to Shinji, but he does know he needs to change the topic about him.

"You know, I'm much of good person ether.", announces Blake as Shinji looks at him with a confused look, "I'm really not. I gamble every Fridays and I owe money to a few guys I know. Not bad guys or loan sharks, but people who can kick me out of my apartment. I like having one-night stands. I, uhhhh… got a girl pregnant… during high school."
"You got someone… pregnant? During school?", questions Shinji as Blake nods.
"Yep.", Blake says, feeling a bit of shame and embarrassment, "I got a girl pregnant during my senior year of high school, while she was a sophomore. It was really hard during that time and, I bet it was even harder for her."
"I see.", says Shinji as Blake continues.
"You see, I was a bit irresponsible during high school. I hated everything, I just want to hang with these friends, who were just as irresponsible as me. Then this cute little sophomore came, thought I was cute. I helped her out with something, she ends up following me around like a puppy, one thing led to another, then…"

Blake glances at Shinji, who looks not impressed at Blake's lifestyle. It's kind of hard for Blake to see how Shinji is feeling about him now, but it is not admiration.

"The point is that I got a girl two years younger then me pregnant. My parents, the most understanding parents out there", says Blake as that last statement was full of sarcasm, "send me to military school for the rest of the year. The good thing is that I became more disciplined. I didn't where else to go after school, so I decided to join the military after Julie, the girl I got pregnant, told me I couldn't be a good father in my face."

For second, Shinji sees a that Blake, for a moment, was forcing himself not to make a sadden face, before pulling himself together.

"I went to join the "War on Terror"", Blake says in, using his fingers to express the quote, "Had a tour there, which gave me experience in combat. I'm a good sniper. I mean really good. So when I went back, I was recruited to SHIELD, learned more about soldiering, as well as espionage, you know, spying. Got my foot fractured, resigned to liaison before you came here, became your handler and now I'm here."
"So, what are you trying to say?", asks Shinji as Blake got a little off track there.
"I got a little lost there with the life story didn't I?", Blake says as Shinji nods, "The point is that no matter your flaws, it doesn't change the fact you can still do some good. I mean, Julie said that I won't make a good father, but I fought in court to get weekend visits and the best father I can be."

Blake takes out his wallet and shows from one of the pockets, a little girl of 4 years of age. Her long hair is brown like Blake's but her eyes are different from Blake's blue eyes. They are green, as Shinji guess their her mother's.

"This little girl name is Suzie Henry.", informs Blake as he adds, "Julie gave Suzie her last name. Ether way, she is my daughter."
"Your… daughter.", Shinji says slowly as he looks the picture.
"She is currently 4 years old. Every week, I get custody of her and do a lot of things so she can grow up into a person who has mindset to get through anything.", explains Blake as he takes back the wallet, "When she was born, I was already shipped out. I didn't even meet her until 2 years ago. When I first saw her, I was afraid. I was afraid I won't become a good father to her, because I believe I am a bad person. Hell, I still think that."
"A bad person.", thought Shinji as Blake smiles and continues.
"But that doesn't change the fact that this was a person I helped create and that no matter what kind of person I am, that even a bad person like me, should at least be a father to my offspring. To my daughter, because if I run away from this… I'll never forgive myself."

Shinji stood there surprised as Blake's expression grew dark.

"I've done… a lot of things that I've regret. People.. I got killed, people that I hurt. I'm an asshole.", Blake says softly, "But, my daughter, she has to have a father. If I know, that she can get along with out me, I'll back out, but I don't. All I know is that this little person needs help growing up and I'm the one responsible for bring her here. And, do you know why, I think that?"

Shinji nods his head as Blake smiles bittersweetly, but lighting up his expression.

"Because, even though I'm a bad person, I'm still an adult and still the person who has to led the way."

Shinji just stood there, speechless as he starting to see Blake in a new light. Although, he pretty sure that Blake still hiding things from him, at least he can, or at least feel, like he can trust Blake just little more. Even though Blake thinks he a bad person, he still wants to do good for his daughter. At that time, Blake receives a phone call from someone. Blake answers it as it seems it from his aunt.

"Aunt Jenny, I'm busy right now so-"

Shinji listens as he hears his aunt yelling at Blake about something.

"It time already?", questions Blake as he turns to the clock, as he suddenly realizes what time it is, "Oh crap! Aunt Jen, hold on, I'm coming now!"

Blake quickly grabs his things, except for the laptop as explains things to Shinji.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go! "I'm sorry, but I have to go! I've over stayed my visit!" over stayed my visit!", Blake explains quickly as this confuses Shinji.
"What happened?", wonders Shinji as Blake has a nervous look on his face.
"Well… my aunt is suppose to pick up my daughter and bring her to my house. I forgot about that and left my door closed.", said Blake as Shinji is left speechless again, but a different kind for a different reason.
"After he just said an amazing speech of taking care of his daughter.", thought Shinji as he wants to shake his head, "Umm… Mr. Saunders-"
"Don't call me Mr.", orders Blake, "It makes me feel old. Just Blake."
"Umm… Blake", Shinji says nervously addressing an adult by his first name, "Will… I see you… again?"
"Of course, I'm your handler! I might see you in Monday.", announces Blake as he looks out at the window, and instantly became annoyed, "Damn it's snowing! Anyways, I'll see you later!"

Shinji hears Blake saying goodbye, as he rushes out of the room, but that not what Shinji caught. It was the word from Blake last sentence.

"Snowing?", Shinji repeats softly as he says the word within "snowing", "Snow?"

Shinji turns his head to the left side of the room, at the window. At first, he couldn't see anything, until he squints his eyes and sees small white fluffy ball falling from the sky. He gets his legs off the bed, to the left side of his bed, ignores his slippers on the floor and walks towards the window bare foot. There, his mouth drops as he sees a white blanket of snow covering the once green grass. His eyes brighten as if he watching an actual marvel with actual own eyes. For the rest of the afternoon, Shinji watches the snow falling from the sky, as he sits on bed, with his SDAT next to him, but not touching him as this new scene is engraved in Shinji's mind.

Author's Notes
-When working on the scene where Shinji learns of the different wonders of the Marvel Universe as well as the snow, I based his reaction to his reaction when he went to the Water Restoration Plant back in 2.22. It like that, but more like watching comet flying by, in front of you.
-For questions about Blake, I've only touched upon one fragment of his life. There is a lot about Blake that Shinji doesn't know yet, like what really caused to take up his philosophy about adults and taking responsibility. Things I will reveal in due time. For this OC, he going to a major figure in Shinji's life.
-There is a lot of things that SHIELD has. Robot clones (LMDs), energy weapons, as well as something called the Vault (where SHIELD takes custody of supervillains' weapons and store them there). I have only basic energy based weapons from SHIELD as well as military weapons, so if somebody knows what kind of weapons SHIELD has, message me, unless your a Guest, in which you use the reviews.

Hope you have a great Fourth of July!
