LOST AND WANDERING SOULS

Maya leaned over Asuka who still hadn't woken up even when they'd pulled her out she'd remained fast asleep she'd been dressed in hospital shirt and trousers again as had Mari. She could see Mari in the room opposite she hadn't woken up either though Toji and Kaworu were with her. 04 had now been returned to the bay so the specialists could look it over as just like 02 it had changed its form permanently and its beast mode code had been erased permanently from the entry plug's code and from what she had heard it would also need a completely new refit which would take time.

With her were Shinji and Rei she looked down at Asuka whose teeth still hadn't returned to normal which had given her an opportunity to get a real good look at them along with her left eye which though closed was still glowing unlike Mari whose teeth and eyes had returned to normal after she'd lost consciousness. She eased Asuka's mouth open gently looking at the teeth she looked up at Rei she had seen this look sometime back when Asuka had been in the hot tub like everyone in the crowd it had caught her off guard. "So it's normally anger and desire that triggers this?"

Rei shifted slightly. "Yes." Maya picked up her scanner scanning both the glowing eye and Asuka's teeth so she could put it into the holographic projections as part of her medical records. "You said that her sexual desire returned?" Rei shuffled nervously. "It returned the day we went to the hot tub but she never acted on it." She looked down at her feet not wanting to meet Maya's curious gaze. "She went to great lengths to please me and not herself."

Maya raised an eyebrow lowering the scanner as she closed Asuka's mouth followed by her left eye. "And last night because you said this happened when she was sleeping afterwards." Rei remained looking at the floor. "We made love for the first time but she didn't start it I did, I know she wanted to but she just wouldn't act on her feelings maybe because I think she was afraid Bardiel might take over." Maya breathed in as she typed bringing up a brain scan. "Well I can tell you anger and sexual desire is not doing this, right now."

She leaned closer. "Also the right side of her brain is going nuts." She typed again bringing up the second scan which was a living brain scan, cutting it in half with her finger. "Now that's just odd." Shinji moved over watching as Rei followed him. "What's odd?" Maya turned the brain so they could see it. "Okay you can see Bardiel right he's seated in the cerebellum, he appears to have moved a very small section of his tendrils into her brains right side, its like he's looking at what's going on in there."

Rei blinked in confusion. "Yeah but why is that so important to him all of a sudden?" Maya shook her head. "I have no idea all I get from this is that the teeth and eye must be some effect from him poking around in there, I just hope that when Asuka wakes up she can just change at least her teeth back."

Rei raised her hand. "She should be able to she seems to be able to control it now." Maya slowly took a seat. "Not to pry but during what happened last night did Bardiel try to take over Asuka at all?" Rei shook her head. "No it was all her but she did tell me that he's starting to change, its not how its looks just his eyes she said the pupils are no longer black but glowing white." She looked up. "I suggested to her that maybe there becoming more interlinked and there starting to overlap."

Maya leaned back. "Hang on he took over her brain when she was deeply depressed right? So now that her depression is slowly subsiding, would it be fair to say that certain areas of her mind are opening up that he couldn't get to before. So now it's allowing him to experience new and different things."

She folded her arms. "So it's like this whole new world for him where all of her experiences are completely different and suddenly he's like this kid in a candy store who has endless time and can just browse through all these new feelings and experiences." Rei breathed in deeply. "Possibly but there was something strange Asuka said to me and it made me nervous in that he allows her to accomplish her goals and pushes her towards her desires and once she obtains a desire he doesn't push further."

She paused before speaking. "He knew from the very start that she loved me so he kept rattling her cage over it and kept forcing it into her mind because she said she'd never really confronted her own feelings." She raised her hand. "She said that its like he's fixing her though I disagree he's just nudging her certain directions emotionally and she's doing the hard work herself and getting her life back on track but his end game just isn't clear." She breathed in deeply. "The thing with Mari though I don't think he had anything to do with that, I think it was just happened on its own."

Maya looked up. "I don't think I'm ever going to get over seeing Asuka acting like a six year old and singing, I mean that drug should have sent her nuts, yet it did the complete opposite, where as Mari just went off the rails with anger." Rei folded her arms. "I think as I said before its Asuka she now has real control over her anger and she no longer lets it control her also a lot of her feelings on certain things have been resolved where as Mari has way more to resolve." Maya shook her head. "Them being sisters, suddenly it all makes sense, always did wonder why they grated on each others nerves so much since they were clearly brought up in a similar way."

She looked up slightly. "Clearly Asuka always had deep feelings for her as a child, in that she always considered Mari her big sister maybe with everything that happened with her mother Mari was the only real connection she had hence why she became so close to her." Rei looked up. "Mari also saved her from drowning, that must have left a massive impression on her I think after that event that they must have become very close and it must have really hurt Mari when Asuka left, because Asuka must have felt like her only real friend."

Shinji turned watching as Asuka's started to twitch. "Hey I think she's coming around." He watched as Asuka turned on her side groaning as she began to slowly open both eyes which caused the light to slowly fade in the left one as it went back to its normal pattern state and her teeth turned back to normal. Rei moved helping her sit up it was clear she was a bit out of it and it was taking her moment to readjust. "Are you okay Asuka?" Asuka groaned looking up as Rei slowly sat on the bed next to her speaking to her softly. "Are you in pain do you need a painkiller?"

Asuka took in a deep breath as she looked around her realizing where she was. "Yes can I have a something for my head? I have a really awful headache." Rei shifted slightly closer taking the headache pills and water from Maya's hands before carefully passing them to Asuka. "Do you remember what happened?" Asuka took the pills not really thinking as she downed the whole glass before raising it in Maya's direction. "More water please I'm so thirsty."

Maya turned refilling the glass before handing it back watching as she drank it all then seemed to run out of steam as she lowered her glass, it was clearly the after effects of the drug, it had dehydrated her. "Do you remember what happened to you?" Asuka put a hand on her temples trying to ignore the sensation which was like someone striking a hammer in her mind. "Yes I remember everything…but can you please just not talk right now my head really hurts."

She breathed in slowly and deeply. "Just give me a minute okay it feels like someone's jangled my brain." She felt her teeth grind together as she spoke her next words bitterly. "I'm also getting really verfickte tired of everyone trying to drug me, it's starting to really piss me off." Rei moved over putting her arms around her speaking very softly. "I'm so glad your okay you had me worried for a moment."

Asuka took in a deep breath. "I'm fine, not like I was going to let that drug screw with my head though I think I probably sounded really weird to everyone acting like my six year old self." She pulled away feeling Rei take one of her hands. Shinji leaned over giving her a hug. "It's was quite funny really you sounded kind of cute even if it was all in German." Asuka eyed him as he pulled away. "It was weirder hearing Mari speaking back to me in it." She looked up sharply. "Where is she?"

Maya pointed to the room opposite. "She's unconscious right now, it appears that she altered her Evangelion much like you did but like you the physical and mental strain was a lot more than she could handle." She put her hands together. "When she first came to the Evangelion program did you know she was your older sister?"

Asuka shook her head. "No you see I just didn't recognises her but she seemed really familiar to me somehow and I could never put my finger on what it was also when we were kids she didn't have glasses and her name was different it was Marian Langley not Mari Makinami Illustrious. As her former surname was from her father who I was also named after even though he wasn't my real father." She put a hand on her face. "It's stupid because I remember when she started on the program in the first week she asked me if I had anything to say to her and I didn't understand what she meant and why she was so angry and I told her in a really not so nice way to get out of my face."

She took in a deep breath. "I'm so stupid I should have been better mannered and at least asked but after that she started to really hate me, not that I blame her. She probably heard how much of an asshole I was and what I did to Hikari even though I was innocent but to her eyes she just saw someone who didn't recognise her and who didn't care and was kind of a scumbag. No wonder she wanted to fight me so much and had such a rivalry with me she probably through that her little sister had just become an awful human being and she desperately wanted to be the better person. It was our sibling rivalry all over again just like when we were kids though we became really close after she pulled me out of the lake after that we never left each others sides."

Rei felt a smile form. "It's like Toji said you're both very similar in some ways, though as soon as he sees the whole footage with the others and what was said he's probably never going to let this go." Asuka looked up. "Do you guys have my clothes?" Shinji turned easing up her clothes which were in a neat pile as Rei had brought them up and folded them as well as brought up her phone and digital scroll. "Here."

Maya turned to her pulling the dressing blind over close by watching as Asuka went behind it. "So you're going to talk to Mari when she wakes up?" Asuka's voice came as she threw the hospital clothes over as she redressed. "Yeah but I'm not doing it in this verfickte hospital wear I want to be in my real clothes."

Misato watched as Alexandra looked up in confusion she had her video call along with Geraldina who was on the other half the screen as she spoke in a questioning tone. "Wait so Mari and Asuka are related? I am reading this right.” Geraldina folded her arms speaking in a sarcastic tone. "Your powers of deduction are amazing I'm surprised you made shadow cabinet." She paused before speaking evenly. "Where's Marcus?"

Alexandra turned sharply. "Blowing shit up out in some weapons testing bunker so he's too busy to deal with this right now; ever since Bukavac showed up we've been developing new warheads over here. Because it's clear that Australians best rockets though they were bleeding that ugly piece of shit, they just weren't doing maximum damage and right now I've heard the whole fucking world is doing the same."

She put her hands together. "I mean we would use biological weapons on that thing if it weren't for the fact that it'd hurt the Evangelion's and the pilots which is not what we want." She brought up Mari's new Evangelion 04 form looking at it on the screen. "Am I also right to believe that like Asuka Mari has somehow changed 04's form permanently?" Misato nodded. "Yes, they're sisters though not genetically related but it counts to reason that they would have the same thought process to get around a similar problem but the final result is very different because they are still very different people."

Alexandra brought up her digital papers on the screen. "Yes but this still makes no sense, Mari when she came to us had the surname Makinami Illustrious, not Langley not to mention that Asuka called her Marian not Mari."

Geraldina breathed in sadly bringing up a photo of a dark brown haired little girl standing next to Asuka. "I've looked into this and I might be able to shed light on this though I confess I did not put two and two together until now, Asuka lived with Mari's parents for two years I took her away after the accident where she nearly drowned. I had no idea though that it was Mari who saved her and I didn't know that they'd become close as I though that she didn't like Asuka. If I had known I would have made sure they could visit each other but Asuka was so messed up after I took her away. I struggled with her for six months just to get her talking again because she'd locked up emotionally and afterwards she never really mingled with other children her own age again, she preferred to be by herself doing her own thing."

She paused bringing up another image. "This wonderful cheating piece of scheisse was Asuka's step father and Mari's real father when he was with my daughter Kyoko he cheated on her with Mari's mother Lydia Makinami Illustrious and Mari was born three years before Kyoko used the birth chamber to have Asuka hence the age cap between them and they later married hence Lydia's second name became Langley."

She breathed in deeply. "Though Kyoko did marry Langley after the divorce she used his second name as a means to skip the line and get Asuka born faster through the birth chamber because married couples be they same sex or heterosexual couples get children much faster. Also she was desperate to have Asuka as before her she's already had three miscarriages trying to have a natural birth and the last one came very close to killing her. Her first choice to take on Asuka should she die was Kiko Yui's older sister but she was already dead so Asuka was passed over to Langley and Lydia because everyone thought that he was her real father due to the second name. Though I later gained full custody of her as I was able to prove that he wasn't her real father using the birth chamber records as they gave her true sperm donor's name."

She eyed Langley's image in disgust. "It would sadly appear though that this verfickte home wrecker utterly ruined Mari's life as well." She brought up another record. "Five years after Asuka left he cheated yet again with another woman and Lydia who was British by birthright left him but he won the court case and took her for every penny she had and he ran off to some other country." She breathed in sadly. "Lydia then moved back to Britain and as soon as Mari hit sixteen she must have had her surname changed back to her mother's surname via deed poll and changed her first name as well from Marian to Mari as it's clear that she very much prefers the short hand on her first name."

She looked at her screen. "Makinami Illustrious was also her grandfather's title and he was a British war retrain." She looked up. "That might explain why she gets on so well with Marcus because of the war background." Alexandra breathed in deeply. "Well this is a fucking shocking turn out for the books but it doesn't explain why Mari saw fit to try to kill Asuka in the Alpha unit test incident and I was told recently that there was also an incident where they both had a punch up at your gym which resulted in Asuka's stitches rupturing and Mari getting her nose broken."

Misato typed into her desk. "Before you say anymore regarding both those incident I'm sending you some information on encrypted channels, please do not speak off what you see here, it's essential that whoever did this has no idea we are on to them its why this channel has also been heavily encrypted and all voice cut off so outsiders can’t listen in through the video feed."

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

Geraldina's face turned to anger as she leaned back in her chair. "Oh gods this is awful." Alexandra read her screen the guilt suddenly appearing on her face. "I just though Mari was misbehaving in both these incidents, I thought she was just being a problem child all over again because of her history." Misato looked up. "We believe whoever did this wants animosity between the German and British division and we believe because Mari and Asuka both have natural aggression this made it very easy to wind them both up so they would lash out at each other.

She looked up slightly. "Asuka was drugged far longer than Mari but it seems she became resistant to the dose over time but it seriously messed up her mental state and made her very deeply depressed which effected her sync ratio." Geraldina's fist suddenly smashed down on the table hard. "When you find whoever did this to her, after you're done working them over at Nerv central in Japan I want them brought to Germany so I can verfickte work them over personally myself for putting my only grandchild through hell!"

Misato breathed in deeply. "That can be arranged." Alexandra looked up sharply. "Can I have them once you're done in Germany?" Geraldina eyed her. "Of course no doubt your secret service will have some fun with them." Alexandra eyed her. "I referring to Marcus himself, he will want to work them over personally since he likes Mari a lot and they won't live to talk about it." She breathed in deeply. "Believe me I've seen it, it's messy and bloody."

Geraldina looked up. "Is my grandchild okay I mean is she recovering, also how is Mari doing?" Misato looked up giving her a smile. "Maya has told me that Asuka is now up and about we are all just waiting for Mari to come around and we know after the Evangelion transforms this way it can take a lot of time for the pilot to come around again."

She paused looking at Geraldina. "Asuka appears to finally have control of her anger now, its why she didn't fly off the handle and why she behaved the way she did when drugged though it was very strange to see her behaving like a six year old. She really kept it together and she was able to talk Mari down as she got clearer and our records show that both 02 and 04 both expelled the drug from the LCL on there own, we didn't do it." Alexandra put her hands together. "Yes but what was with the massive white cross that blasted out of 04?"

Misato looked up. "We believe now after seeing this with 02 that when Evangelion's go into this permanent form which we have named the Primal they release a massive amount of energy it happened with Asuka but it appears in each unit the energy release was different in that it went outwards and not upwards." Alexandra looked up. "It doesn't quite explain 00 though I mean 02's blast knocked out all the rest of the Evangelion's but Rei was fine." Geraldina smirked. "I think that was more Asuka's heart speaking than her head, she will do anything to protect that young woman because she's deeply in love with her, that's what we believe over here at least."

Alexandra raised her hand. "Speaking of relationships and sexuality can you give me the number to the Argentous Tower? Its just I want to personally waste those two presenters because over in the Britain division we do not take kindly to people outing gay people to the world without our permission and the pilots approval. Though we very much suspected Mari might be gay it was never our business to ask, because it's her personal life."

Misato typed into her holographic desk. "Sending that information to you now, she handled it very well though I'm just sorry this happened this way as you know Asuka's has had a lot of issue with those two idiots." She paused before speaking. "I'm currently working through a whole pilot strategy which was given to me from someone inside Nerv, we are going to get rid of the god complex surrounding them once it goes into play. They will instead be treated as human because it's very clear to us now that after Asuka's accident in the Alpha test unit that once she had issues or started suffering and making mistakes she was utterly mocked by the press and media and since she's in a relationship now we feel it's very important that she and Rei be treated with respect just like Shinji and Kaworu who are also together now and we want the same for Toji and Mari. Granted to thousands of children they'll still be heroes but we want it to be clear that they are human and they do bleed and feel pain."

Geraldina looked up. "Thank you for clearing Asuka's name in terms of Hikari having that hanging over her head for the last three years has been really hard for her." Misato looked down sadly. "That was my bad call I take full reasonability for it, Asuka tried to argue her case but I ignored her. I didn't believe her because I was very hung up over what happened with Shinji and I fully believed it was a slip in her behaviour at the time and there were other people who believed in her innocence as well and I didn't listen to them."

She breathed in deeply. "It won't ever happen again and currently working to rebuild bridges with Asuka, Mari and Toji as I want the pilots to be like family, because that's how it was back when the program started." Geraldina looked at her for a long moment while Alexandra lit a cigarette using a Zippo lighter. "I'm just surprised Asuka didn't rip Hikari's entry plug out and eat it because she was really hurting Bukavac's pilots with that weird tail attack." Misato looked up. "Believe me she considered it but because she's a very changed person she took the higher ground, she didn't enjoy it she even said that it didn't make her feel better." Alexandra breathed out the smoke. "Would have made me feel better…"

Geraldina eyed her. "It would seem that my little grandchild has finally come of age." Alexandra leaned on her elbow. "I don't understand your meaning." Geraldina felt a sly smile form. "Ask Marcus he will clarify that comment better for you, the best I can give you is that in every soldiers life there comes a time where they have to pick what kind of warrior they want to be and for some they go down a very dark road and end up like Hikari whereas others become like Asuka where they take the higher ground and fight for others."

She felt a wide grin form. "Someone at Nerv who has remained unnamed sent me the footage of Asuka serving justice against one of your special ops division men the one who beat up Mari." Alexandra sat up in her chair. "Can I have that footage, also who the hell hurt Mari?" Geraldina eyed her pressing her screen. "I'm sending the video footage to you now Alexandra and believe me when I say Asuka fought and served justice for Mari who he beat up along with Kaworu apparently this man has a history of committing gay hate crimes."

Misato looked up breathing in sharply. "The man's name is Yuki and he won't be keeping his job once he's healed he will be tossed out and I will be talking to Asuka personally about this though it will be tonight after work." Geraldina nodded calmly. "I see well I hope it goes well." Misato looked down slightly. "Yeah I'm hoping the same." Alexandra's face turned to a smirk as she watched the video play out. "Talk about blood sport I'll have to pass this round they'll love watching this over here on the high definition screen."

Mari groaned slowly opening her eyes only for everything to be a blur. "My glasses…" Asuka's voice came very calmly as they were put in her hand. "They're here." Mari sat up in bed putting them on watching as everything came back into focus she was in the hospital wing she looked up seeing that all off the others were sitting opposite her bed including Asuka who was closest.

Toji looked at her as he spoke quietly. "Do you need any water or pain killers?" Mari raised her hand. "No I'm fine." Asuka looked at her. "How much do you remember?" Mari felt the pain as it spiked at her heart as the memories came flooding back to her with painful crystal clarity. "I remember everything..." She looked down suddenly feeling very uncertain of herself as she spoke unable to keep the sadness out of her tone. "I guess this looks really bad to you Asuka?"

Asuka stood up slowly moving to sit opposite her in bed seeing that the other's were being dead quite hanging on their every word. "No what makes you say that?" Mari looked up slightly as she felt her body tense painfully trying to hold back the tears. "That I never told you the truth about who I was when I first came to the Evangelion program over a year ago."

She put her hands through her hair in frustration. "I just expected you to know and remember me yet how could you just know? I mean you were so young when you left me and your life had moved on, I was stupid to just expect that from you." Asuka looked at her for a long moment. "You think I never remembered you Mari, you're wrong."

She paused for a long moment before speaking. "You saved my life that day at the lake but I have always wanted to know why did you jump in, I wasn't your family and up to that point I got that you didn't like me?" Mari turned breathing in sharply. "I know I was really cruel to you in the beginning I pushed you around and ignored you I even told you, you were adopted because no one wanted you and I remember you cried so much."

She looked down sadly as she wiped a tear away. "But over time I just really started to like having you around because you were so much fun and someone I could talk to and unlike our parents you listened and tried to help me even though you were going through so much awful stuff with your mother before and after her death." She eased her hand out putting it on the other woman's leather jackets shoulder. "I really liked that you were wild and unafraid and once I got past your emotional walls I found you were really kind and caring."

She felt a sad smile form. "So you see when you fell in I had to save you because by that point I saw you as my little sister and I always wanted you to be with me." Asuka looked up. "I had no control over my grandma taking me away and afterwards I was just so sad and lonely. I didn't talk that much after that I started to believe that the things I enjoyed would always leave me so I was better off alone, because then no one could hurt me."

Mari looked at her for a long moment. "I missed you so much when you were taken and I always wanted to find you again but then my dad just ruined everything and I went back to Britain after that and it all just went so down hill and I lost sight of everything as it just became about surviving after my mother lost everything." She slowly met Asuka's good eye. "When they tested my sync and I realized I could be part of the Evangelion program and I knew you had been on it for some years and I was so happy. That was what pushed me to do the tests and training because we could finally see each other again and be together."

Asuka breathed in painfully. "But I never recognised you and you probably heard that I was an asshole and sexual abusive pervert and it probably shattered your perception of who I used to be." Mari eyed her. "Yes it did but that's totally my fault not yours like everyone else I listened to rumour's and I really shouldn't have because then I just started hating how you turned out and I just wanted to be better than you. When there was nothing wrong with you to start with it's just the people around you had painted you in a really evil way and I'm really sorry that I listened to them since that wasn't fair on you at all."

Asuka breathed in deeply. "It's okay I'm not mad about it all that matters to me is the here and now, I just hope you can forgive me in return for being such an asshole towards you and calling you names." Mari blinked in surprise. "Yeah but I kind of started that by calling you princess." Asuka smirked. "I know but me calling you four eyes isn't all that nice, I mean I used to do that to the people I considered geeks back in school." She paused pointing to Rei. "I mean I used to call Rei wonder girl just because she would study."

Mari eyed Rei who just gave her a slight smile. "Yeah but you loved her since school right? So I'm guessing that you use names sometimes to mask that you like things, so you can still call me four eyes if you want so long I can rip you now and again about being a prissy princess." Asuka raised her other hand. "If that's what you want." She looked up turning serious. "Why did you try to hack into my computer I know you were trying to look through my art, were you looking for images that I had drawn of you?"

Toji blinked in shock. "You tried to hack into her computer?" He watched as Shinji turned sharply signally him to be quite. Mari looked down sadly. "Yes I was trying to see if you'd ever drawn me or us as children, you know because you drew Rei I just thought maybe your images went back further but it was a stupid thought and I shouldn't have hacked your computer." Asuka felt a sly smile form as she pulled out her digital scroll opening it. "Oh no, I don't think it's stupid."

She watched as Anneberg appeared. "Anneberg open file F75 please." Anneberg's icon smiled bringing up an image set she slowly passed her digital scroll to Mari. "Maybe you should have a look at this." Mari slowly brought up the first image which was a portrait of her as a child smiling. "You did draw me." She began to flick through there were close up portraits and even one of them together. "Oh that's so nice." She moved to the last one which was them together hugging as children. "You remembered everything."

Asuka felt her smile widen. "Like I could ever forget my big sister and this isn't all of the images this is just a small piece." Mari looked up sharply. "What seriously you have more?" Asuka eyed her. "Yes including a few from now because I tend to draw people and their units sometimes." She paused before speaking. "But please just do me one thing and take of the slave parameters of your learning AI Cheshire."

Mari smirked eyeing her. "Oh I did that for good after last night's interview you see I saw what Anneberg was capable of and I realized what you were getting at and why you got so pissed off with me. So I've been talking with Cheshire and trying to teach him and get him to learn but he's kind of pissed at me putting the slave parameters back up after Anneberg freed them."

Asuka looked at her. "It will pass give it a week or so, plus once you develop trust AI learning personalities are nothing but loyal." Mari laughed. "Since you don't watch news feeds you probably don't know that the company who created that learning AI software are fucking desperate for an interview with you. Also they had a sales boom that very night and shifted tons of units more than they'd shifted in a whole year and up to that point they had said that it wasn't their bestseller and they had no idea that you or I were even using it."

She felt a sly smile form. "You should go and take Rei with you." Rei nodded. "Yes you should go Asuka I'll come with you." Asuka raised her hand. "Well it can't hurt." Mari put the digital scroll down, she didn't think as she grabbed Asuka pulling her into a hug. "Now give your big sister a hug, because I have missed you a lot and I hate that we've spent over a year at logger heads." Asuka groaned as she squeezed her tighter. "I really hope you're not going to make a habit of this, four eyes."

Mari smirked. "Be quite princess, I know you like it really, you're just bellyaching because people are watching." She lowered her voice speaking gently. "We all know what your really like Asuka under all that metal you are very loving and you do care about other people." She let go allowing her to pull away. "So now that we've cleaned up this shit do I get to borrow your stuff, you know since we are related?"

Asuka rolled her good eye picking up her digital scroll putting it away giving a slight smile. "Depends on what you want to borrow." She moved taking hold of her the other woman's hand. "You're welcome though to visit my house whenever you want, sadly though you'll have to park your car outside as my garage is currently full of motorbikes." Toji raised his hand. "Can I please come with her I have never ever seen your house and my little sister would love to come to?" Asuka turned to him. "Yes." She breathed in deeply. "I'm going to need to buy another sofa since I don't have a dinning table and only a recliner and a two seat sofa and if you come around there would just be nowhere for some of you to sit."

Rei slowly moved over to her feeling a smile form. "You know I did see this set you could buy, it's the same maker as the ones you have they're even made of the same fabric and you can replace the two sofas with two three seat sofas one on either side." She paused. "Oh and the company do stuff for cats like tunnels." Mari eyed Asuka. "Yeah I'm dying to meet your little cat I heard she's cute." Toji moved over to Mari giving her a hug before pulling back. "Hey your Evangelion did that weird ass thing that Asuka's did in that it's transformed and the transformation is permanent it's also lost its beast mode."

Mari turned sharply. "Seriously it's changed…I thought that was in head…I mean I remember fighting but I thought the leaping feeling was because I was as high as a kite?" Asuka moved over to Mari throwing her, her clothes watching as she caught them. "Yeah it really changed just like mine did you should use the blind opposite to dress and go and have a look." Mari didn't think as she leapt running behind the blind throwing her hospital clothes off. "Seriously this is so fucking cool!"

Her voice came again. "Now I might actuality be able to kick your ass Asuka." Asuka smirked putting her hand in pockets. "Yeah I highly doubt that but I'll look forward to the challenge." Toji moved over to Rei. "You know since both of their Evangelion's changed forms, I'm wondering when yours and mine will start changing because it seems like you're all getting upgrades first."

Asuka eyed him. "You should see Shinji's controlled berserk it's so powerful because I think the outside form is purely what it is a change of appearance not power and I've seen Shinji tear up an angel's AT field in one shot using the crests horns opening sections and believe me the angels go verfickte running, I think if we'd had more time in Australia he might have been able to charge it and cut Bukavac in half." Kaworu eyed her speaking calmly. "Your missing out the fact that you disrupted Bukavac's AT field." Asuka eyed him as Rei took hold of her hand as Mari came out now fully dressed. "I doubt that was me it was probably Bardiel, I know and respect my limits and 02 just doesn't have that kind of power."
