Chapter 5- Friendship and Discovery

The next morning Shinji Ikari woke up early as he
tended to do. He quickly got cleaned up and dressed
and prepaired to make breakfast. As soon as he
stepped into the living room he stopped. It had only
been 2 days gone and already the living room was a
wasteland.

�Well if there is one advantage to being a freak� Then
like a whirlwind he went to work and in a blink of an
eye he was done �Cleaning up doesn�t take too long.�

He quickly prepared Pen-pen�s meal just in time to
wince at Misato�s whoop of joy at the first beer of
the morning and then made Breakfast for the two of
them.

�Misato... I just want to aplogize about worrying you
the last 2 days. I just..�

Misato interrupted him �I am disappointed in the fact
you ran away. I am glad you came home on your own.
One more day I would have sent Section 2 after you.
Just don�t do it again and please if you feel the need
like you need to get away just talk to me next time.
I just want what�s best for you ok.�

Shinji looked downcast and just stared at his plate
�Sorry�

�Don�t look so glum kid. You�re home and you�re safe
and that�s what matters.� She turned to her pet who
was just finishing his meal and called him over. Pen
waddled up to her and she took him into her lap. �You
see Pen-pen here and you listen good here.� Shinji
nodded in the affirmative �He was being used as an
experiment where I used to work. They were through
with him. I took him in to keep him from being put to
sleep.� She paused for a moment to let that sink in.
�You know why I took in this useless greedy bird?�

�Pity?�

�Part of it was that I�ll admit but... I�ve always
lived alone. I just thought that it would be nice to
have someone to come home to. I�m not the kind of
person to just take in someone just for my job or out
of sympathy.�

Shinji looked up with a small glint of hope in his
eyes. �I just thought it�d be nice to have a family.�
She stood up still holding her pet and walked around
the table as Shinji stood up. He sobbed for a moment
and she embraced him and pen-pen both in a soft hug.

�Thank you Misato.�

She looked him in the eye. �No. Thank you Shin-chan�

�Just one question.�
�Shoot.�

�What they do to Pen?�

�I think intellegence argumentation. They mostly
worked with mice though. They thought they had a
winner one time but he just ended up with a big head�
Shinji was about to ask where she worked but then
they heard the doorbell ring.

Misato placed Pen-pen down and went to answer the door
as Shinji composed himself. As she opened it she was
glad to see who was there. �Shinji its for you �

�Me? Who would come to see me?� He quickly came to
the door and was surprised to see Touji and Kensuke
there waiting for him with smiles on thier faces.
�Suzuhara. Aida, what are you guys doing here?�

Kensuke spoke up while Touji just looked down at his
feet �We came to see if you were coming to school
today.�

�Oh... Ya I guess I am�

�Well go get your stuff and we�ll walk together�

�Ok�

Misato smiled as Shinji went to get his backpack and
go to school with his new friends.

Kensuke then asked Misato �Ma�am Is Shinji going in to
NERV today?�

�No he won�t. Why?�

Shinji returned just as Kensuke replied �Well I just
wanted to know if it was okay if he went to the arcade
with us this afternoon after school.� Shinji looked
at Misato once more with a hopeful look on his face.
She returned his pleading look with a stern one for a
moment to make him sweat but then broke into a radiant
smile �Yeah I think it�ll be all right. Go have fun
with your friends Shin-chan but be home by 7 ok.�

�Yes Ma�am �

***

�So Unit 00 will be ready for a second attempt to
activate soon and Rei should be fully recovered by
then.�

Dr. Akagi had just finished completing her report on
the condition of the First Child and her Evangelion to
Commander Ikari and Sub-commander Fuyutsuki.

Gendo pushed up his glasses �Very Well Doctor. Have
you finished your analysis of the DNA sample?�

�Yes and I am glad we were able to even take a sample.
Soon we won�t be able to place a needle in him. His
development seems to astonishing.�

�I see. Is there any degradation in his cellular
structure?�

�No it in fact it seems to be the opposite. His DNA
seems to be well... perfect. It is easily the best
example of genetic manipulation I have ever seen. He
is in perfect shape if not better than perfect. I have
to know Commander how long has he been like this?�

Gendo smugly smirked �Since before he was born.�

Ritsuko gawked for a moment �This changes everything.�

�This changes nothing.�

Ritsuko raised an eyebrow �But what about the senario?
This can not be a part of the senario.�

�Only the old men�s. Mine is going exactly as
planned. Shinji is merely a means to an end. If that
is all Doctor you are dismissed.�

Berlin-2

Asuka Soryu was not a happy girl. She was tired,
sweaty and more than a little annoyed. Unfortunately
for her she couldn�t find a solution to the problem.
What was the problem you wonder? Well in this case it
was one Kaji Ryouji. Most of the time in her mind he
was quite the opposite but right now he was target
number one.

�VERDAMMEN SIE ES! Why can�t you stay still so I can
hit you.�

�Simple my dear miss Soryu. If I made it easy for you
to hit me it wouldn�t be training.�

The second child chosen to be an Evangelion pilot was
clad in a red t-shirt and sweatpants and trying to
desperately to hit Kaji with a kick or punch but any
time she got close he would seem to dance around her
attacks easily.

�You need to calm down Asuka or you won�t be able to
focus properly.�

�I AM FOCUSED �

�No you�re not. You�re aggravated and letting it get
to you.� With that he got low and sweapt her legs out
from under her knocking her butt onto the mats. �And
If you think I�m a hard teacher you should have seen
how I was trained� He shuddered for a moment and
allowed her to get up. �Remember Kiddo how you fight
should be clean and efficient. No movement wasted.�

She stood still and took a couple of deep breaths to
clam herself. Then she once again began her attack.
This time Kaji didn�t dodge but blocked. He replied
with a punch which she countered.

�Very Good Asuka. Now we really begin your training.�

The Two practiced far into the night.

Misato was coming home after a long days work and a
quick stop to pick up a dinner for her and her ward.
To celebrate his return you see.

She was just getting to the elevator door when she
heard a voice behind her. �Excuse me are you Capt.
Katsuragi?� Misato turned around and met the gaze of
an older bald gentleman carrying a red and blue
dufflebag.

�Can I help you?�

�I just need to talk to you for a moment.�

She got a worried look �About what?�

�About Shinji actually.�

Misato�s eyes narrowed �What do you want with
Shinji?�

�Nothing currently. Please don�t let me hold you up we
can continue in.�

Misato cautiously walked inside the building the man
following. �So you were saying?�

�Captain you may have noticed that the Third Child
is... special.�

�Of course he�s Special.�

The man looked like he was searching for the correct
words �He carries a burden you know of course.�

�You obviously know it and once the angels are gone he
can have a chance to live his own life.�

�I doubt it. He is chosen to carry a great burden for
the rest of his days.�

�What do you mean?�

�I mean he has gifts.�

The Captain stopped at her door �What kind of gifts?�
She opened the door and allowed him in.

�You are aware of the term Metahuman are you not
Captain?�

�Are you sayin...� she was intterupted.

�In a matter of speaking yes, but his case is rather
special.�

�His gifts have already begun to manifest and more
shall sooner or later.�

In her mind certain things begain to click into place.
�You know what�s happening to him.�

�Yes I do and you�re about to.�

Misato stood before the older man, and gasped when he
shoved a blue and red duffle bag in her arms. "Give
this to him when he's ready."

"What is it?" Misato asked curiously.

Misato carefully unzipped the bag with a trembling
hand, but what she saw in the bag made her drop it in
shock, "Are you �trying to tell me � he's � he's gonna
be?"

The old man gave a small smile and a nod causing
Misato�s hand to come to her mouth �I knew he was
special but... oh my god...�

Meanwhile at a nearby arcade Shinji was getting
acquainted with his two new friends. Shinji was
enjoying a drink while his friends were trash talking
each other while playing a fighting game.

�See that? Huh? huh? You can't hit me! You can't hit
me! You can't hit me! HEY! YOU HIT ME!!!� Shinji
noticed that Touji was a very emotional person.

�I�m sorry you were saying. Don�t worry I�m just
gonna take you to school.� Unfortunately for Kensuke
his boasting was too soon as Touji won. �Awe man.
Hey let�s hit the laser tag next!� Shinji also
quickly discovered that the smallest of them was an
Otaku of all things millitary or closely related to
it.

Touji frowned �I dunno... we did that a lot last week
and I�m a bit tired of it.�

�Oh come on.�Kensuke turned to Shinji � Hey Shinji you
haven�t played Laser Tag here yet right�

�Uhhh. No can�t say that I have.�

�Well then we must introduce him to our favorite time
killer.�

Touji smirked at his oldest friend �You mean your
favorite.�

Shinji stood up from the stool he was sitting on �Well
to be honest its getting close to 7 and Misato wanted
me home by then.�

All three nodded and started walking toward the door.
Kensuke bumped into a rather odd looking person
dressed apparently like a clown and quickly aplogized
to him When Touji made a comment�So I guess you�re
already whipped by her then huh?�

Shinji gawked at the otaku �It�s not like that....
That�s just not right man.�

Kensuke just laughed �Don�t worry about it Shinji
that�s just his jelious side showing, and since he�s
busting your chops that means you�re now one of us.�

�Really?�

Touji shook his head �If I didn�t know any better I�d
swear you never had any friends before.�

Shinji�s head drooped �Well to be honest I really
didn�t.�

Kensuke patted his new friend on the back �Well you do
now.�

The boys walked along talking about nothing and
everything as friends are wont to do when Shinji
noticed something. �Hey guys.�

�Yes� they choursed.

�I think we�re being followed.�

�Oh come on� Kensuke laughed then glanced behind them
�Oh crap.�

Touji then looked back �Maybe it�s just in your head
guys.�

Shinji began to walk faster as his friends did the
same �Then why are you speeding up?�

Touji replied �Why are you?�

�Discretion is the better part of valor� internally he
had a different reason �I could get out of this in one
piece but I can�t risk them getting hurt or finding
out.�

�Um guys� Kensuke squeaked �I hate to be the bearer of
bad news but that�s the guy I bumped into back at the
arcade and I think I just saw a knife.�

Shinji looked back �I didn�t see a knife�

�Not the guy behind us. The one in front of us.� Both
Shinji and Touji then looked ahead and saw another
thug dressed like a clown brandishing a rather large
and most likely illegal blade.

Touji stopped �I got an idea. Follow me.� Touji then
sprinted down a nearby alleyway with both his friends
following. Shinji started to catch up with Touji but
Kensuke was never particually athletically inclined
and failed to keep up with his speedier friends.
That didn�t however keep him from not running as fast
as he could. He liked his hide intact after all.
Unfortuantly fate seemed to have it in for the poor
lad and he tripped over a small rock and crashed hard
into the ground.

�This just isn�t my day� then he heard laugher behind
him

�Well its about to get a lot worse.� Kensuke groaned
and then turned over only to look down the barrel of a
rather large pistol.

�Why are you doing this?� Kensuke asked fearfully

�Cuz its fun.� The clown then cocked the hammer back
with a audible click �So tell me kid. You ever dance
with the devil in the pale moon light?�
