Thread: Evangelion: Re-Claim (Potter-Kun and Sigr)

Misato heard Shinji wonder about the earthquake, but offered no explanation, worried about how things would affect that poor boy. She felt a pang of guilt for being part of what lured him there, even if she didn't exactly believe his words about having come there just for her, she played a part on it. Maybe things would be easier if she distanced herself, but the mere thought of being anything like commander Ikari just didn't sit right with her. There has to be a way of doing what they had to and don't make those kids risk so much, right? Saving everyone was nice, and one could argue that no cost was too high but... Shinji's enthusiasm at the sight of the Geofront made Misato turn to him, feeling better thanks to his enthusiasm, even if she knew it would be just a fleeting feeling. It didn't matter what kind of person Shinji was, strong or weak, rough or gentle, selfish or generous... Misato doubted that there could be anyone that didn't get scathed by what awaited them, specially being a young boy. There is a task for you here, yes Misato stopped sounding a bit grim and her voice was more of a distracted one. As soon as we reach... she looked at the nondescript corridors with letters and numbers, the windows that gave outside the base to the green fields of the underground area. I think I'm lost she confessed, a weak smile on her face. They hadn't gone through a couple of doors when the opening of the second one revealed a couple figures. Ritsuko! Misato yelped in surprise at the sight of the blonde woman. And what an odd sight it was Blonde neck length hair, a beauty mark under her left eye and an spectacular figure would be enough, but her attire was also somewhat strange. Partially covered with a classic white science coat, Akagi Ritsuko was wearing a teal one piece swimsuit. I was doing some maintenance work in the coolant tank Ritsuko explained even without a request to, when I was asked to retrieve your lost selves back to the headquarters she added. I haven't used that entrance so I didn't know how... Misato weakly protested. Give Maya-san a hand with that, will you? Ritsuko stepped aside, allowing them to take a better look at the second figure. Ibuki Maya had been overshadowed by not only the more garish and remarkable figure of Ritsuko, but also obscured by her taller frame. The smaller woman had short dark brown hair and some sort of uniform, but what was stranger was the scuba gear she was carrying dripping around, seemingly something quite awkward and heavy that dripped all around. To make matters a bit more strange, one could guess that despite her looking professional and serious she also seemed a bit happy, trying to hide a small smile in vain. Fine, fine... Misato took the oxygen canisters and gear with her, while Maya seemed to insist on keep carrying Ritsuko's moist wetsuit. So... this is the third child, Ikari-san's son no less Ritsuko commented, her voice lacking the hostile edge that both Misato and Shinji himself could feel in theirs. This is Shinji-kun, yes Misato mumbled, carrying the scuba gear, still seemingly a bit embarrassed for ending up lost in the base. Do we have confirmation? she asked, serious. Not yet Ritsuko answered, It's a bit far yet added, wasting no time and hastening her pace. In the meantime Maya didn't do much else but greet Shinji with a nod, seemingly too busy paying attention to Ritsuko as to think of anything else.
