Revenge of the Angels

Chapter 2
"The River”

Rei slowly took a small sip of her green tea, as she sat at the table across from Asuka. She had been staring out of the window for at least ten minutes now, and Rei did not say a word to break her out of the stare. “Sohryu?”
Asuka jumped a little, shaking her head and blinking her eyes. “Oh sorry…”
“It is fine… If you require sleep I shall leave.”
“No its fine, please stay… I need someone to talk to.” Asuka then turned her head to the child that played with building blocks just beside her feet, “Excuse me, hun?” Asuka smiled gently, the boy looked up with a gentle smile in reply.
“Yes mommy?”
“Could you go into your room for a moment darling. Grown up talk.”
The child blinked and nodded gathering up what blocks he could and running off into his room, leaving a trail of blocks behind him. He then returned to pick them up, and then scuttled back into his room closing the door.
Asuka’s eyes lowered to the table, and she fell into that daydream state again, and tears fell down her cheeks. “He hardly ever talks to me…”
Rei sipped her tea, and then brought it down to the table. “Ikari?”
“Yes him. Who else? All I have to talk to now is either you, my son, or Suzahara.” Asuka then placed her hands onto her face and broke out a sob. “… He hardly sees his son anymore… When Takuya was born Shinji was so happy… I know he is a great dad for the last five years, but ever since he went back to NERV he has changed… He’s like… him…”
Rei then quickly took a look of disgust to Asuka, her eyes narrowed. “Mrs Sohryu, I do not believe that Ikari would make the same mistake as his father…”
“… The other day… He came home and he was so happy. The first I have seen him generally happy since his son. I did not know why, but then I thought… What if he is in love, with someone else? Maybe that is why he doesn’t talk to me much, why we don’t make love…”
Rei had her eyes closed, and she was staring at the floor through tears. “Mrs Sohryu, I cannot believe you are saying such things about Ikari…” Rei stood slowly, “Ikari is overworked right now, even if I do not know what he is working on… I trust him. And so should you, Mrs Sohryu.”
Asuka stared up with guilt, when did Doll ever get so strong? When did she become so weak herself? And then dragging her tearful eyes down to the table she then forced a little smile. “Thanks Rei… I feel better… Yeah, maybe I am looking into this too much…”
“Talk to Ikari, Sohryu. Excuse me.” Rei bowed her head and began to walk towards the door.
The apartment shook which sent Rei into the wall and then sprawled onto the floor upon her stomach.
Asuka stood while holding onto the table. “An earthquake?!” She turned and ran towards her child’s room, and the apartment shook more violently; the loud thump of something big shook the apartment again and sent Asuka into the door, her head cracking against it.
“Shit!” She cursed, standing up now holding her bleeding forehead, she forced the door open with a kick, and then stumbled into the room, seeing her son crying in the middle of the floor. She quickly fell to her knees and scooped him up in her arms protectively.
“Mommy!” He cried over, and over.
“Shhh its okay!” Asuka stood, the cupboard narrowly missing them as it fell to the floor. And then, with one giant crash it all ended.
Shaking violently, Asuka, stood up, holding her child cradled in her arms, head tightly placed to her neck as he sobbed. Then, opening the bedroom door Asuka’s blue eyes shrank in horror, eyes widened so much her eyes began to tear. “No…”
She fell to her knees before the doorway, and stared out to Rei who stood managed to survive, she stood holding her bleeding left shoulder, dislocated from it’s body and her body leant up against the wall for support.
Where the front door was, and where the small porch faced, was gone. The whole wall was crushed under a giant, dark green arm, and Asuka stood, placing down her son, leaving him cry there alone, walking up to the unmoving fingers of Sachiel, and looked up. “Shinji… What have you done?”
Eva Unit 00’s braincase was ripped off completely, revealing the mutilated face of something… It’s giant one eye rolling down to stare at Asuka… And it roared continuing to eat what was left of the Angel.

“You bastard! You fucking heartless bastard!” Asuka slammed her hands down onto Shinji’s desk. “How many have died because of that thing! Why are the angels attacking?! What is going on?!”
Shinji stood and moved around the desk to hug his wife, but was pushed away… “Asuka… Let me explain…”
“You have something!” Asuka glared and slapped him and then cried out in anger, “You have something they want!!”
“No… I have nothing Asuka… I have done nothing wrong! I don’t even know why they are back.” Shinji moved forward a little fearful. He then placed his hands on the trembling shoulders of his wife. “Asuka… I love you, I love my son… Why would bring the angels attention back… Lilith is gone, Adam is dead. They were destroyed… Remember? I have nothing, nothing they will want. But I am promise you, I promise you nothing will happen to our son.” Shinji took a strong grip to her hand, and then looked into her eyes boldly, kissing her deeply.
Asuka, could do nothing but accept it. He never did this, and it was out of character for him for the last year, being so distant and now to suddenly passionately kiss her… She was lonely and she forgot about the argument quickly. Then pulling away from the kiss, “… Shinji… If you were doing something, you would tell me… Wouldn’t you?”
“… Yes, Dear I would. Now, I have work to do, but I will be right down to see you and Takuya.” He let her go of her and then smiled, “Come on, he’s probably missing you, Maya isn’t a good choice leaving our son with her… She’s probably confusing him with large numbers and the like.” He laughed, to lighten the mood. Or at least the mood of his fiery wife.
“Okay… I’ll see you soon…” She then turned to walk and in turn Shinji sat behind his desk, staring out to her as she walked out of the door.
The door clicked shut, and moments passed before Shinji sighed aloud. His eyes turning cold and distant. “How is Unit 00?”
“Repairs are almost complete.” Maya’s face lit up the dark room upon the monitor screen, “The braincase was badly damaged, but luckily we were prepared with a spare… Commander, I…”
“You don’t like what we are doing?”
“No… But don’t you think using your…”
“I do not need your opinion. I have orders like you Dr Ibuki. I will make the weapon the UN requests.”
Maya sighed and turned away from the monitor. “EVEN if it means alerting the Angels, and putting the ones you love in danger?”
“Dr Ibuki.”
“Yes?”
“…Fail me and you will know how much like my Father, I really am.”
The room became dark and Shinji stood. “Kensuke, I am going to see how Rei is doing. Please check on the Dummy experiment.”
“Yes Sir.”

Rei sat alone upon the hospital bed, her head lowered and her arm bandaged up. She ran her fingers across the area of the wound and then winced. Like old time, she hadn’t been injured in years and now when the Angels return… Things appear like old times indeed.
“Ikari…” She then rose her head as the door open, she knew he would come to see her, and her face lit up with joy, her eyes then moved to the uniformed man, then, pushing herself to her feet stood there staring at him as he drew closer.
“Good evening Commander.”
“Rei.” He nodded as he took his hands out of his pockets. “How are the children?”
“They are just fine… Child 00 had some mild mental damage after the Eva went Berserker, but physically she is able to pilot on your order.” Rei’s voice was totally professional and ironically very monotone. Rei could never change her personality despite the recent years. And has come to terms of what she was. An Angel.
“We need one more pilot Rei, and, to condition it to pilot Unit 01. Now, shall we commence the creation of the child?”
“Yes, Ikari.” Rei began to undo her uniform, as Shinji turned to draw the curtains. Then to lock the door. Rei paused, just before she was about to unclip her bra, then, she looked to Ikari, “What about Mrs Ikari?”
Shinji paused pushing his trousers down. “Rei… This is not for my own enjoyment… This is totally professional. You had never complained the last two times. Why now?”
“… I feel wrong, Ikari… Asuka suspects us…”
Shinji grasped Rei’s hair, his eyes threatening. “Rei Ayanami. You will get on that bed, and you will create the third child. After that, and the Angels are killed, we can go back to our normal lives, as if this never happened. Now, get on that bed.”
Rei looked away, “…Ikari…You are …”
Rei was pushed back onto the bed, Shinji straddled her, and with a crazed look slapped her. The blue haired girl then relaxed, and closed her eyes.
“I brought you back. I gave you your new body. I took you out of that thing in central dogma… You owe your life to me, Rei.”
