“What’s wrong, Ayanami?”
Just for a moment, she looks surprised. Surprised that someone else is even there. The material of her plugsuit squeaks as her fingers curl into a fist.
"Should something be wrong?" Questions the First quietly.
Asuka suddenly felt guilt inside her soul about her words. She just wanted Rei to show emotion and yet she made her cry like this. Asuka might have done and said horrible things but this felt like she went too far. She did not know what to say or do right now to make her feel better.
"Do you hate me Rei? I don’t blame you I hate myself every day I live and more than everyone else still in this world. I call you a doll but you still look and act human but me I guess I’m a monster…”
"A monster," Rei echoed. There was no crack in her voice, no choking sob. Even with the tears, her toe remained cool and collected, her voice never breaking. "If I am a doll, then you are a monster?"
It made some sense.
Some.
The tears were wiped away, though they kept coming, and the slippery material of the plugsuit didn't clean up very well--there was an ache in Rei's chest. Some kind of emotion, one she could not place a name on.
..................
Well stop. Seriously, knock it off, this is what I mean about thinking for yourself! Who cares what the Ayanami Rei from before thought and felt and did? It doesn’t matter, she’s gone now, and you’re the only Ayanami Rei there is. Get it?
[ Rei looks startled, but perhaps that's for the best. She blinks rapidly, then looks down. ]
Okay...
So what about you? Are you still worried about ‘what Ayanami Rei would do’?
Perhaps...
Both in one thing? [Asuka falls into a thoughtful silence. When she pulled Shinji out, he was the only one in the entry plug… No one told her about any units that took two pilots.]
If they were really close, I guess that explains why the idiot was so catatonic when I got him out of that plug.
I suppose.
[ She tugs on a strand of her hair, looking thoughtful, but then she just shrugs. ]
"Aww what upset I’m not angry to be honest I can’t be happier. To see you finally act like a human is something I love but you’re still a doll even with that emotion you have. You can never be like us no matter how hard you try Rei!" Asuka yelled really going too far with her desire to make this girl normal like herself.
Something else boiled up inside of her. The heat traveled from her belly, through her chest, up to behind her eyes where it burned and something wet began to trickle out.
Rei couldn't control it--the tears came too fast. She made no noise, not even a peep, she just let the tears come.
A hand came up to touch her face, to inspect the wetness that now clung to the glove of her plugsuit.

Asuka fell on the ground feeling the fist even after it left her cheek. The sting from the impact was powerful but Asuka was not seriously hurt from the punch. Getting back up Asuka had a smile on her lips happy to see emotion from this girl.
“That’s what I like to see Rei you’re not that other Rei you can be different…”
Her arm trembled, hand still clamped tightly into a fist. Rei felt angry, she looked angry. The feeling of her blood boiling was different, it scared her, and she wasn't sure how to react.
But the girl before her didn't react the way Rei had wanted her to, and it only served to make her angrier. But she held back her hand, swallowing hard.
Books? What a weirdo. I bet he didn’t even ask if you wanted to.
That Fifth guy, tell me about him.
Nagisa Kaworu. The Fifth Child. He was close to Ikari-kun. He piloted Unit-13 with him.
...He died in the process.
As Qoftheqcontinuum: "Well, so YOU'RE the newest by-product of Gendo Ikari's machinations? I must say, originality mustn't be a top priority now would it?" Q snickered...
…
Q simply raised his eyebrow again.
"And what, pray tell, gave you that assertion? I’ve counted already 46 of your chromosomes, and they seem to match up pretty well with previous iterations of the "Ayanami-Type" organism? Don’t ask me how I know that though, I’d prefer your head to actually stay on your shoulders instead of explode from an informational overload, cause quite frankly, headless organisms are such a bore to chat with."
"I am not a clone," she repeated without hesitation.
Shinji’s wings droop.
"Everyone in this world does, really. They’re better off without me…but I do have to find something first."
"I do not want to kill you."
Shinji sighs.
"She’s not mine, either. She wants to kill me now."
Rei stares. Though this time, her stare holds curiosity.
Men are disgusting. Next time a man tells you to entertain him, kick him right in the dick.
[Asuka’s actually really angry to hear this, but with no specific person to aim her rage at, she has no choice but to stuff it down.]
…How about that idiot, Shinji? Did he ever do anything to you?
Ikari-kun.
[ Rei curls her fingers, thinking quietly. ]
He gave me... books.
Wanted me to... read?
Mostly, he spent time with the Fifth...
