"You
know, that coffee is cold, Major."
"Arrgghh!
You always tell me after it's too late, Ritsuko!"
The
blond doctor chuckled under her breath and resumed typing on her PC. The
younger woman by her side hovered by her shoulder, trying to catch a glimpse of
the monitor's contents.
"Hmmm,
The Marduk reports huh? So they've been chosen already?"
"Uh
huh. But these kids are bringing their own equipment. They've been sent by
special people. They're not just anyone. Specially trained and all." Dr.
Akagi said, carefully readjusting her glasses.
"Talk
about efficient! With this manpower, we will definitely beat the Angels."
Misato said happily, setting the cup of cold coffee on the nearside table.
"Although
that means you will now be in charge of, let's see...one, two, three... seven
children!" Ritsuko's wide amusement only angered Misato to a boiling
point.
"Ohh
God! Babysitting was never in this job description! Why does this keep
happening???!"
"What's
wrong?? Scared of a few little children, are you now, Major Katsuragi?"
Ritsuko tried painfully to choke back her laughter.
"Oh
Shaddup!!" Misato blurted, glaring at the amused doctor. "Just send
me their personal files once your done, k?" She yelled as she walked out
of Dr.Akagi's office.
"Heh
heh, good luck Major!" she yelled back at her.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. J
stared quietly at his desk as he carefully listened to the voice on the other
side of the line. If his eyes could be visible, a flinch every now and again
could be detected.
"They
should be arriving early next morning. I trust you can keep your part of the
deal as well."
A
momentary silence followed his remark. The other voice hung up and he did so as
well.
He
fidgeted a pen between his fingers, a malicious smile slowly curling his lips.
"
Let's see how you like our boys.....................Ikari."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
D-day.
0700 hours. Katsuragi Residence.
"Oi,Misato-san!
You're awake before me?"
"Oh!
Hey Shinji!" Misato chirped, pulling her face away from her Yebisu can.
You're all dressed, good. Is Asuka up yet?"
"Yeah
yeah! But I still think it's an incredibly STUPID idea to make us get up this
early on a SATURDAY! Is this your twisted way of torturing us?!" the
fuming redhead cried out as she finished fastening the buckle of her left shoe.
Shinji looked at her with similar confusion.
"Yeah,
just what do you need us for now?"
"Oh
I just want you to meet some people, that's all!"
Both
EVA pilots gave her a dumbfounded stare.
They
arrived at the Central Dogma quite quickly, not much traffic on weekends must
be. Shinji kept eyeing Misato to try and catch some glimpse of a clue or
something that could tell him what his guardian was up to. But she just looked
her usual cheery self (of course, after 2 beers and a half before rising hours
who wouldn't be cheery?) As they made their way into the Main Room, he caught
sight of Misato's little surprise. 5 young boys stood in front of him, standing
each next to the other. Next to them stood Dr.Akagi, who was nearside Rei and
his own father. Hyuga, Ibuki and Shigeru were there too.
*Ayanami's
here too...so is Father...this must be important*, Shinji thought silently to
himself.
"Major
Katsuragi, you finally greet us with your presence!" Ritsuko chanted in
amusing manner, making Misato frown.
"Yeah
yeah, Im late I know it. But I'm here now, aren't I?" Misato glared at
her, then changing her expression towards the boys, she stepped forward.
"Soooo...these are the famous wonders I've been hearing so much about
lately! And pretty good-looking too!" she smiled as she noticed the little
blond one slightly blush.
Ritsuko
turned her gaze towards them. "Please introduce yourselves."
Shinji
looked over to the boy with the dark brown hair and dark blue eyes. "My
name is Heero Yuy. Nice to meet you." The words had been polite enough but
the coldness and hollowness of his voice made Shinji shiver a bit. The sound of
the last name made his heart skip a beat. Sounds like...my mother's name, he
painfully thought.
"Hey,
I'm Duo. Duo Maxwell." The boy next to him announced, his blue-violet eyes
gleaming with energy as his long braid shook behind his back. Misato couldn't
take her eyes away from the sight of the silky chestnut strands.
"My!
Such pretty hair for such a cute boy!" she remarked, winking
mischievously.
"It's
my pride and joy!" the boy replied cheerfully, caressing his braid as if
it were a baby. She eyed the boy next to him, making him blush more than he had
before.
"Umm...I'm
Quatre Raberba Winner. Pleased to make your acquaintance." He said
politely, giving a slight bow.
"Trowa
Barton." The tall boy besides him said flatly.
A brief silence followed, as the feeling of
incompleteness filled the air. The boy standing last finally spoke annoyance
clear in his voice.
"I'm
Wufei Chang." He said, frowning. Asuka eyed him, growing angrier as it
seemed he was also scowling at her. She finally spoke, raising an eyebrow,
"Well, just what the hell is this, Misato? The next boy band or
what?!"
"Heh
better than that! Kids, meet your new friends! They're the new pilots here to
help us in defeating the Angels, and that means you will be working
TOGETHER!" Misato chanted happily amused at the look of sheer horror in
Asuka's face and complete shock in Shinji's. Rei, as usual, remained blank.
But all
that could be heard was Asuka's sweet remark.
"WHAAAAAATTTTTTTT??????!!!!!!!!"
(To be
continued...)

Author's
notes: Ahh well, as you now know, this is a X-over with Evangelion. Its turning
out quite nicely in my opinion, but like it always happens when you write
series, they turn out longer than you expected...oh well, another round of cold
ones and I'm ready to go! Hehheheh, well more goodies will be coming along. I'm
writing the story from both sides POV, to make it more thorough. Well gotta go
fix up more goodness! Brewskies, here I coome! Till then!
