Chapter 2: introducing a new life.
"Where am I?"Shinji let out these words as he stared at the unfamiliar ceiling, his mind was foggy, he sit up in the bed and start looking around "some kind of hospital?" there were some things attached to his arm and a machine was doing beep, he assume it was checking his vitals, then a nurse came throw the door laying her eyes on him soon the nurse took off and he could hear.
"Doctor he´s awake"
" said to call her when he wake up, go do that, I will check on him"
The doctor soon after enter his room, he was a plain man as any other "hi Shinji how do you feel?"
"What happened? Where I am?"
"You are in a hospital don't you remember what happened yesterday?"
"I know I am in a hospital genius I mean where is the hospital?" then the memories of yesterday hit him like a brick since morning the awful day and the events that follow, when the men was going to talk Shinji spoke again "don't bother I remember, more importantly could you contact someone from NERV? I need some answers"
The doctor didn't bother to respond he just nodded his head and got out of the room.
After some time enter the room "how do you feel Shinji?"
Shinji recognize the voice "hi speaker lady, I feel like a ragdoll after a kid it's done with it"
"Speaker lady? Ah yeah, I am the doctor ritsuko akagi, and yeah it´s not surprise you feel like that, you were indeed use like a ragdoll yesterday, do you remember? "
"I remember more than I would like to admit"
"Ok good then, could you answer my questions?"
"Sure"
"Good first of, what do you remember after getting inside the Eva?"
"I remember going in the catapult, then fighting the angel, I remember being the bitch of the angel, then my memory gets a bit foggy, but I have the feeling I beat the angel and lastly a big explosion that's all"
"I see so you don't remember exactly how you beat the angel, right?"
"Yes how exactly is unclear for me"
Then the door open revealing Misato "Shinji are you ok?"
"Yeah he´s alright, it looks he´s just fatigued from yesterday nothing permanent" it was how answer.
Shinji had to admit that he felt relieved after hearing that, he was sure that at least some of what happened yesterday had leave a mark, and he start trying to remember a bit harder, but it was futile his memories stay the same.
"So what did it happened yesterday?"
The face of Misato said that whatever it happened she at least didn't want to remember.
"Well is not easy to describe"
"I better show you, we have the footage"
"Huh… Okay but first, when can I be discharge there is a few things I want to discuss"
"You´re good to go, your body is fine and your mind seems clear at least"
"What do you want to discuss Shinji?"
"Good then I want to talk to my father"
"Ah, so this is about the condition for piloting that you had… Shinji I should warn you I don't think is a good idea to go throw with it, I mean the commander is a pretty scary guy after all" the sound of worry was obvious in her voice
"Nah, a deal is a deal and there is no way in hell I am going to miss this chance"
Around an hour later after Shinji got his things back and now was at the door of his father office with Misato.
"come in "Gendo´s voice sound.
Shinji open the door to see big and dark office with one of the most creepy designs he could ever think of engrave in the ceiling and in the sole desk in the center Gendo was sitting with his hand interlace supporting his chin and a pair of eyes hidden behind the reflection a pose that Shinji eventually come to name "the thinking asshole".
"Wow you really need a new interiors designer this place is weird as hell at least put some lights in here"
"I see that being near death didn´t affect your bad personality third child"
"what can I say, I think it runs on the family, oh wait I don't have a family I forgot"
"so are you here to throw a tantrum or you actually have some business here"
"oh! Don't tell me you suddenly have amnesia, I know you´re old but Alzheimer is for older people, come on I am here for the punch I that we agree on"
Right now Misato was anxiously listening the exchange it look like Shinji was ready to make this happen even by force and Gendo that stood still in his pose look even more frightening than normal even when Gendo had the clear advantage Shinji didn't look like he was going to let it go.
"it look like the teacher I left you with didn't educate you the right way"
"Educate me? Hahaha it looks like you know even less about me that you think so, stop dogging the matter are you ready or not?"
"and what makes you think I would agree to such a stupid thing as to let you hit me"
There it was a sound argument, but Shinji was prepared for this.
"yeah I expected as much from you, but tell me, me! That came here and agree to risk my life for this and did exactly as I was asked too and defeat that thing just to be denied of the only thing I asked, let me ask you what do you think it happen the next time something like this happens?, I know you are not psychologist but isn't the best for you to keep me somewhat happy"
"Is that a treat third child, do you understand that you are talking about the fate of humanity here"
"And why would I give a rat ass about the fate of humanity"
"You are bluffing if everyone dies you too will there is no way you don't care if you die"
"don't underestimate the grudge I have against you Gendo, and besides I saw the only other pilot there is right now, and I am sure she is not going to be in any condition to fight anytime soon, so next time you will have to count on me you wanted or not"
And that was it Shinji and Gendo had put their cards on the table, Gendo stood there in silence, meanwhile Misato was still in a daze she could not think the arguments Shinji made where truth, maybe he had a little of a bad personality and he had a grudge against his father but even when she could relate to his feelings she wasn't sure what was real and what was an act to get what he wanted, finally Gendo spoke.
"Okay it's a deal but I have conditions of my own"
"What?"
"first of you are going to be NERV employee until this is over second if you plan to do this kind of thing every time an angel attacks then you be dismissed as soon as possible and last you are going to be tied up to our security agents all the time those things are not in discussion understood?"
"don't worry physical pain is just going to be this time and the employee thing is ok too, I expected that, but there is going to have to be negotiation on the contract if I am going to risk my life is going to be for a good reason"
"ok them fuyutsuki I leave the contract arrangements to you, and do it quick third I have things to do" Gendo stood from his seat and walk over to Shinji, they were face to face immediately you could see the difference in height, Shinji wasn´t small he was a bit tall for his age but Gendo was taller.
"clench your teeth Gendo" Shinji raise his fist and strike his father with a punch that had all his weight in it and al his repressed feelings in a mighty uppercut that momentarily lift Gendo of the ground and send him directly to the cold floor.
"…"
"…"
Now there was surprise stuck in the face of Misato and fuyutsuki as neither of them could believe that someone with the complexion of Shinji could hit so hard.
What they didn´t know was that Shinji had an irregular build for a boy his age reminiscent of his years of fighting on the street.
"oh god does that felt good"
Fuyutsuki got close to Gendo since he wasn´t moving just to discover that he was unconscious from the blow, and he took his phone out and said.
"hi this is sub-commander fuyutsuki I need a nurse in the commanders office… no nothing grave probably just a concussion… yeah thank you" then he cleared his throat "well please wait a few minutes Shinji we can go to my office to discuss your contract when the nurse get here"
Shinji couldn´t hold back the laughter "hahaha he couldn´t even take one punch hahaha what a wimp, the guys at my old school were tougher than that"
Around 20 minutes later Shinji and Misato stood later in fuyutsukis office
"well I am glad that your office doesn't look like it was part from a history from Edgar Allan Poe"
Fuyutsukis office was way more light up and even had a couch and a couple of chairs with a window that had a great view of the geo front.
"well I must say the commander has some bizarre style in his office if that's what you meant"
"yeah that place is right down creepy, anyway where is the contract?"
"yeah, here it is" fuyutsuki took a big load of papers from his desk and give them too Shinji
"… Isn't this a bit too big?" there was at least 40 pages or more in total.
"your job is an odd one so it's bound to have more pages"
"could you give me a summary?"
"first of you cant leave Tokyo 3 un least you are ordered too, second you can die on duty, third you are available for us 365 days at year all day, fourth you have a responsibility to attend test at least once per week, fifth you will receive training in order to raise your combat capabilities and last you are part of the military so we expect you to conduct like one"
"ok that was a long list, but I guess is reasonable, so now the part I am most interested, how much do I get paid for having to risk my life at your call?"
"around 10,000 dollars at month"
Misato was thinking "he gets paid more than I do!"
"wow.. ok I guess I didn´t have to worry about that"
"the budget is from a lot of countries so we have room to give big salaries to those that risk their lives, but you can't access all of it because you´re a minor"
"so how much can I count on?"
"3,000 at month the rest goes to a bank account until you´re old enough"
"is good enough, and about my living arrangements?"
"we can offer you a place to stay here at NERV if you want, it will be the bet for us if we have you close"
"I don't have much of a choice do I?"
The conversation finally turns where Misato wanted it to go.
"so how about he lives at my place then?"
Shinji turn to look at Misato.
"and why do you want that?" Shinji was clearly confused in why did Misato wanted to live with him.
"are you against it?"
"well not really, but I am surprise I mean I haven't been really nice to you or give you any particular reason for being nice to me so I have my doubts"
"you´re too young to worry about those things, let´s just say my motherly instincts are telling to do it"
"motherly instincts aren´t you like 25?"
"aahh that´s so sweet but compliments won't get you nowhere"
"?"
"so are you going to take responsibilities of him Katsuragi?"
"if Shinji lets me"
"is your house even big enough for me?" Shinji was considering that maybe it wasn´t so bad to live with the brunette "if she´s capable of standing me and my personality maybe she is somewhat like my teacher" Shinji thought.
"yeah don't worry about it my place is big enough"
"ok then I be in your care"
"good then, if that's settle just sing here" fuyutsuki point with a pen.
"um fuyutsuki?"
"yeah?"
"could you get me the video of what happened in Gendo´s office today?"
"…"
"it could help me deal with the stress in the future you know"
"yeah it could help me too" muttered fuyutsuki.
"what did you say?"
"nothing, I see what I can do but not promises"
And with that Shinji had a new home and a new job.
Later in the entrance to Misato´s apartment building.
"my god you drive like there is an angel chasing us!"
"sorry Shinji, is just my driving style, you okay you look a bit sick"
"and whose fault do you think that is!"
"anyway hurry up my apartment is in the fifth floor"
Misato´s apartment was big for a single person Shinji was surprise that the apartment was at least one fourth of the whole floor.
"This place is huge"
"yeah its thanks to my NERV connections they try to make us happy in exchange for risking our lives"
"yeah I can see that, but isn't this too big for one person I mean there is at least four rooms in this place"
"I expect we have more company in the future"
"huh? What do you mean?"
Misato just move along laughing, Shinji's next surprise come from the state of most the house.
"Misato is this place some kind of dump?"
The whole apartment was full of trash everywhere the living room had so much trash that it was difficult to see the floor there was an abundance of beer cans and instant food it was worse than the alleys of Tokyo 3 where the homeless live.
"hey, that's rude this is my house"
"whatever for now get out of here"
"what?"
"get out of the apartment I am going to clean this place I cant stand this so just get out for an hour or so you would only get my way"
Shinji spoke as he shove Misato out of the apartment.
"wait Shinji, hey don't push me"
Now Shinji wasn't a freak of cleaning but any normal person would clean that mess, it was Misato the weird one for standing the trash for so long, Shinji was already having second thoughts about living with Misato, but what's done its done.
Shinji was cleaning when he heard something rustle in the trash, Shinji got closer and look for the source and something got out it was black and white and had a collar in his neck.
"what the fuck is a penguin doing here?"
Said animal just look at Shinji and let out a *quack* before going to a door close to the refrigerator and step inside.
"I hope that thing is trained I am not cleaning his poop!" thought Shinji.
Around an hour later Misato some back.
"I am back!"
"ah, good that you´re back I need to get to a supermarket and I need help to bring the bags"
"huh, Why?"
"because the only food I saw in the whole apartment was beer and those damn instant dinner"
"and what´s wrong with that?"
"what do you mean with that, those things taste like paperboard and there is no way in hell I eat those and I throw out most of the beer"
"wait what? Why the hell did you throw out the beer?"
"first because 90% of the fridge was fill with that and I need the space for food, and second because you obviously have a problem so I take some precautions"
"but it was my beer!" said Misato whimpering for the lost of her beer.
"come on its just beer"
"that´s my stress relief!"
"*sigh* if you listen to me I promise you the best plate of fried rice that you can imagine"
"*sniff*really?"
"yeah and is not like I throw it all out beer is okay but just in certain occasions"
"sure"
In the supermarket.
"Misato what is a penguin doing in the apartment?"
Shinji was talking with Misato while choosing the ingredients for supper.
"so you meet penpen I hope he didn't attack you"
"no he was more worried about being bother when sleeping I think"
"yeah that sounds like him, that's my pet a hot water penguin"
"I never heard of something like that"
"he is kind of special"
"so does he eat the some other penguin?"
"yeah just get him some fish or tune and he eat it"
"I am honestly surprise you could keep something alive with you in that apartment"
"hey that's rude I am responsible enough to look after my pet"
"I hope so"
Then the time flew by until it was time for supper and Shinji was in the stove while Misato look at him throw a window that connected the kitchen and the dinner room while she sat at the dinner table.
"well I am surprise that you can cook I never imagine you with an apron in the kitchen"
"I have had a lot of practice since no one cook for me for around ten years"
"and now that I think about it you did a great job cleaning"
"that was just normal I couldn't stand the amount of trash"
"well I don't spent a lot of time here, my work at NERV consumes most of my time"
"and its ready!"
Shinji serve two plates and move to the dinner table.
"at least it looks good and now the taste"
Misato took a bite and then proceed to wolf down the rest like she was starving and start choking half way throw.
"calm down Misato here take some water"
"*cough**cough* thanks I guess after so much time eating junk food your food feels like heaven in my mouth and I don't want to stop"
"yeah I get just don't choke"
After eating a pleased Misato rested on the table with a full belly.
"Shinji will you marry me?"
"sorry I am not into cougars"
"but I can't live without your food anymore!"
"Then learn how to cook"
"I can´t I am too lazy"
"that's your problem! And don't worry I don't think I am moving any time soon anyway"
"well jokes asides tomorrow you´re starting school do you don´t know where is it do you ?"
"not really, do I really have to go to school I mean what´s the point?"
"your education obviously"
"that's what I mean tomorrow an angel could destroy everything so, what´s the point?"
"Shinji that´s exactly the point, we are working so there is a future"
"*sigh* sure I go but remember you´re the one that tell me to go don´t complain later"
"I saw your school records so I just ask that you don't start anything ok?"
"not like I ever did start it but yeah u try"
"cool" Misato stand up and hug Shinji's head.
"come on I say I am not into cougars"
"hehehe…its so cute when you´re shy"
To tell the truth Shinji haven't felt like this in a while a certain warmth that go throw his chest and even make him blush a little.
The next day at school.
"hi class so today I got some news for you we have a transfer student"
A bunch of whispers were heard from the class room.
"teacher is it a girl?"
"shut up Aida, what do you care anyway is not like you ever have a girlfriend anyway"
"hey that´s mean!"
"not like it's a lie" while the teacher said it a bunch of whispers from the girls said "yeah his a creep" and "not even in he was the last man on earth"
Aida Kensuke sulk in his desk and repeat murmur "its not true its not true its not true its not true its not true"
The teacher clear his throat and continue "well come in"
Shinji slide open the door and enter the room and stand in the middle of the black board and said.
"I am Shinji Ikari nice to meet you"
The girls were obviously more interested and the whisper began again "his not half bad" "better than average" "look, his eyes are blue"
Finally the teacher spoke again "ok calm down… ok then Shinji your desk is over there go sit so we can start the class"
Shinji's seat was at the back of the class beside the window (the most typical seat for protagonist ever LOL) the seat in front of him was empty and the one behind and at his side, for a moment Shinji thought that the teacher was trying to isolate him but realize that he didn't have any reasons… yet.
As class begun everyone took out their laptops to take notes as it was normal.
Not long after a small window appear in what was the classroom chat place it said:"aida934:hey do you have anything to do with the giant robot that appear last emergency?"
Shinji knew that even if he denied it eventually his new classmates would realize so Shinji decided that it was better telling it himself.
"ikarishinji: yes I am the pilot"
It was a second later that the class was on top of him like a bee to honey asking him a lot of things and a angry student was still in his desk now glaring at Shinji.
then in lunch a very angry looking classmate in a jersey with a geeky looking boy approach Shinji
"hey newbie come with me I need to talk to you" the tone in his voice said it was an order not an invitation, Shinji knew something like this would happen eventually like in any other of his past schools but he didn't know it would by this quickly and he was going to deal with this the same way he always did.
"sure big guy, lead the way" Shinji knew from experience that this kind of guys only understood one thing, violence.
It was behind his class building there wasn't any tables so no one was eating their lunch here it was perfect for what was going to happen.
Immediately after getting there the guy in a jersey spun around and make the first move sending a jab at Shinji's face the punch landed cleanly on Shinji's cheek and made him take a step backwards.
"this is because what you did to my sister asshole"
Shinji was a little confuse he didn't even know the guy much less his sister what could have he done to hurt his sister.
"your sister? what the hell do you think I did to your sister!"
"you and your stupid robot crash the place she was at and injure her"
Now Shinji was angry, the next thing he did was take a step towards the jersey guy and in a clean move land a kick in the guys abdomen effectively taking the air out of his lungs and proceed to land another two hits in his face and another to the side of his face, the big guy was now in the floor having pain assault him from his face and his abdomen and having troubled breathing.
"next time a freaking monster tries to destroy the fucking city why don't you g out and see if you can take him out without being thrown to a building or having the bastard break your limbs in a fucking robot that you have never used before!"
Then kicking him one more time in the face just for good measure.
"do you want to go at it too glasses?"
Now Shinji look at the geeky boy.
"… no man, don't worry it was just him that wanted to fight"
"next time that you fight someone make sure you don't give them time to fight back moron"
Shinji left and the rest of the day went by.
Misato get home surprisingly quickly and wasn't alone she brought with her.
"Shinji I am back and guess what I brought ritsu with me"
"welcome home Misato and " Shinji's voice come from the kitchen.
Misato change clothes before going to the dinner room where ritsuko was waiting.
"so Shinji how was your first day?"
"do you want to know the truth or you want to hear what I made up?"
"was it that bad?"
"I make a guy go to the nurse room from the lunch forward"
"didn't you told me you were going to try to don't do those things"
"the guy didn't leave me much of a choice when he throw the first punch"
"and what did you do for him to make that?"
"pilot the Eva"
"what?"
"he said the Eva collapse a building in his sister and since I am the pilot it was my fault"
"it is true that some people always get hurt some way or another and then they blame whoever they see fit just to have someone to blame and hurt in retaliation" said ritsuko.
"I understand that, ok then Shinji how bad is he?"
"he walk tomorrow, but I am sure his face will remember for a week at most"
"I see"
"and dinner is ready"
"you certainly don't look like a chef this is unexpected"
"yeah I get that a lot "
"please just ritsuko when we are not in NERV Shinji"
After dinner.
"Shinji will you marry me?" now it was ritsuko´s turn to make the joke.
"sorry I don't like cat ladys"
"what? How did you?"
"hahahahahahahaha that one was great Shinji!"
"I doubt there is cats at NERV and there is cat fur in your shirt"
"hump but still I am starting to get jealous of you Misato if you get to eat this everyday"
"I know right!"
"I think I could send a lunch for you if you want ritsuko"
"ah no please I don't want to bother"
"I already do so for Misato is not a big deal"
"well if you put it like that I would be grateful, I don't eat too much good food since NERV cafeteria sucks"
"sure I send it with Misato"
"and here I thought you were a condescending brat I am surprise"
"in my defense I was in a really bad humor the times we meet"
"ah yeah before I forgot fuyutsuki give a video for you"
"really! Cool I thought he had forgotten"
"is that the video from that time?"
"I hope so"
"what´s in the video?"
"ah yeah don't you want to see it ritsuko? Is pretty entertaining"
"yeah ritsu you have to see it before you go"
"sure I guess"
Shinji and company spend at least half an hour laughing from the security footage.
It has been a week since then and Shinji was in his classroom like every morning, since then the jersey guy has keep his distance with glasses boy and actually Shinji learn that the big guy was tōji suzuhara and glasses boy was kensuke aida and today kensuke aida a.k.a glasses boy was talking with Shinji in a break.
"so you say you were the evangelion pilot right?"
"what do you want?"
"come on man don't be so defensive I am just trying to talk"
"I wouldn't be if you weren't a friend of suzuhara"
"don't worry about it is just his a bit hot blooded and he was frustrated because of his sister, his cool down by now and besides he´s not so much of an idiot as to look a fight with you again"
"he better be, ok then if you aren't looking for a fight what´s your deal?"
"heh heh well to by honest I am a bit of an military fan so I just wanted to about the evangelions you know"
"*sigh* to be honest is not like I know much myself I am just the pilot and even if I know I don't know if a could talk about it"
"that's a downer, but at least you can tell me how does it feel to pilot it don't you"
"there is not much to talk about I just sit there and think about what I want to do and the Eva does it"
"like telepathy or something? That's so cool!"
"not like that exactly I need to put some things in my head so I can synch with the Eva to get it to work I have to be inside it after all"
"your job is awesome, hey don't you know if they are recruiting? I want to volunteer"
"I don't think it's like that and even if it is believe me you don't want to"
"don't be like that it has to be cool to pilot one of those!"
"if it wasn't for the excruciating pain I would agree" murmur Shinji.
"what did you say? I didn't catch that"
Just then Shinji's cell phone start ringing.
"Shinji we need you at NERV asap!"
And the emergency siren started ringing.
"I am on my way"
Later in the geo front command center.
"Shinji you ready?"
"as much as I can"
"now remember this is proceed like in the simulator"
"roger"
Meanwhile inside one of the shelters were Shinji's class had been taken.
"I am telling you man he is not that bad of a guy you guys just started with the wrong leg"
"tell that to that asshole, he was the one that attack me"
"don't act as the white sheep you attack him first"
"but just one time, he beat me to unconsciousness and that last kick was totally uncalled for"
"ok you're right he may have go a bit too far, but you got to admit if I guy I don't even know attack me I would be pissed off as well"
"but it was his fault that my sister was injured in the first place so is still his fault"
"now you're being an ass, is not like he destroys the city for fun at least I don't think so, and besides he was the one that kill the monster right, if he didn't kill it, it would have destroy even more isn't it?"
"ahg shut up!" toji stand up and go to the exit.
"suzuhara where are you going?"
"don't worry class rep I am just going to the bathroom"
"hey tōji wait for me"
"don´t follow me I need to get away from you and some fresh air"
"More reason to go I want to see what's going on"
"ahg jesus" and like that the two walk to the surface"
Shinji was inside his Eva and waiting for the angel with his rifle in hand.
"angel in sight Shinji take position"
"I see it, arg this guy is even uglier than the last one he looks like an insect"
"Shinji focus"
"yes Misato I am focus but are you sure this is a good idea? I mean that thing can use the at field is a rifle enough to kill it?"
"we don't know Shinji but is the best plan we have so far"
"that sounds so reliable" lets just say that Shinji was in a bad mood because of the angel attack.
"Ritsuko how is he doing?"
"his fine Misato his synchronization is stable at 48%"
"good then just wait for my signal to start the attack"
"roger"
The angel that move closer and closer was now just at two hundred meters.
"ready and… FIRE!"
Shinji leave his cover and started unloading the magazine in the angel and moments later the angel emerge from the cloud of dust unscratched.
"I told you Misato that didn't even tickle him"
"there is no choice use your progressive knife to kill it"
Shinji took the knife that was on the shoulder armor of the Eva and try to get in distance to slash, but two energy whips at the side of the angel started attacking him he try t take some distance by jumping but the angel use the energy whips to hold his arm and leg and throw him to a mountain close by and cut his umbilical cord in the way the timer for the internal battery begun.
"I am having a déjà vu from my last fight, wait what?" Shinji look that close to the unit 1 hand were two small figures of people he recognize "Misato what are this guys doing here?"
"what? Who are they?"
"it looks like they are Shinji's classmates they were supposed to be in the shelter inside the mountain"
"Misato what do I do?"
"we can involve civilians take them inside the Eva and retreat"
In the side of the mountain where tōji and kensuke.
"man we´re alive I thought we were dead" kensuke still hold the camera he had brought.
"god I almost crap my pants"
Then a voice that come from the Eva spoke.
"you two get inside the Eva if you don't wanna die"
"are you talking to us?" said tōji still confuse
"no I am talking to the fricking rock at your side, of course I am talking to you morons get inside the Eva" the Eva open the place where the entry plug was.
"Shinji?"
"get in morons we need to get out f here" the eva close the entry plug and the inside started filling with LCL.
"what? Are we gonna drown?"
"shut up I need to concentrate"
"Misato this is bad the synch is going down because the foreign objects"
"Shinji fall back hurry"
"can't do it that thing is in too close I have to fight or I am done"
"wait Shinji!"
Unit 1 launch itself towards the angel and with the impulse he jump towards the angel taking him off ward the counter read less than two minutes.
"die bastard!" Shinji scream as he landed the knife in the big sphere that was the core of the angel, the angel in desperation throw his whips at unit 1 and pierce the side of the abdomen.
"argh" Shinji felt the whips cutting his side "DIE ALREADY!" Shinji give one last push into the core and manage to break it, the angel scream in agony as it die and the counter hit zero at the same time.
"*pant*,*pant* it's over" just then Shinji lose consciousness.
"send the extraction team now, and bring the two morons here"
Next time Shinji wake up he was being transported by the extraction team.
Not too long after he was in front of Misato´s office where Misato had proceed to chew out the two idiots.
*Knock* *knock*" yeah come in"
Tōji and kensuke were in seiza position in front of Misato looking to the ground.
"good that you're here Shinji I was gonna call you anyway"
"yeah I know, are you finished with these two?"
"yeah I am, know if you guys ever get out of a shelter in the middle of an emergency I make sure you never go back in, understood?"
""yes sir"" the two stand up and run to the door and pass Shinji.
"wait right outside I still have things to deal with you two"
"they seem really scare"
"now Shinji tell me why did you disobey a direct order" Misato´s face tell Shinji it wasn't moment for jokes.
"with all honesty I just did what I thought was the best"
"and just completely ignored my orders at the same time"
"I would have follow the orders if there was a proper plan but since that wasn't the case I did what I had to"
"ok I get your point but do you understand that orders are order don't you"
"if there is a proper plan I don't have any reason to refuse"
"*sigh* sure then I promise I have a proper plan from now on do you promise to follow orders? Deal?"
"deal"
A couple of days later Shinji was in the school rooftop preparing to eat his lunch when the door open and two figures cross the door.
"here you´re Shinji we were looking for you"
"we? As I you and him aida?"
"come on man just call me kensuke we are friends after all"
"are we?"
Tōji still look uncomfortable but talk to Shinji.
"you might not be such a bad guy so I am sorry for hitting you and thank you for saving our lives" tōji did a bow when he thank him.
"see he´s not such a bad guy either is he?"
"maybe… ok whatever don't sweat it is my work after all"
"good with that out of the way do you know the beauty that scold us the last time?"
Kensuke and tōji sat beside Shinji and started talking like the teenagers they were. And like that truly start Shinji's new life.
