Shinji came to slowly, the light hurting his eyes. He tried to shield
them with his hand, but couldn't. Looking down, he found the reason for
this.

He was in restraints. Wrists and ankles cuffed to the bed.

Um..where is this going? I know Misato was relieved to have Shinji back and
all...

Looking round, he saw that there were cameras all round him. And then he
noticed that he had a crushing pain in his stomach.

Gendou Ikari looked Ritsuko full in the face. "It is him, then?"

"Definitely," Ritsuko nodded. "Apart from his new... equipment, he's
fine. No biochemical changes, no mental contamination. But I believe we
should prevent Shinji from piloting from now on."

"Why so?"

Ritsuko sighed. "The scanning systems we've used show extreme
disturbances in his Kirlian field. It's more orange tnan the standard
red we normally emit. And there have been what can only be described as
paranormal events in the ward he's in."

Gendou frowned. "Paranormal? Explain."

"There have been disturbances. Poltergeist activity. Things moving
about. Lights turning themselves on and off." Ritsuko waved her hands
vaguely, trying to emphasise something even she wasn't sure about. "Odd
things."

"Where there's something strange...in your neighborhood..who ya gonna call..

ANGEL-BUSTERS!"

Sorry couldn't help myself...

Gendou leaned back, thinking deeply. Maybe he and his son didn't get on,
but this had to be dealt with. Soon. Suddenly Ritsuko's cell 'phone
bleeped.

"Moshi-Moshi? Okay, I'll be right down." She turned the phone off, and
looked at Gendou. "Your son is loose, and panicking. He's found out
what's happened to him."

"For God's sake, get that Baton round here!" The orderly was panicking.
This was a fourteen-year-old, not a psychopath. But twelve guards were
down already, none dead. How?

"Here, sir." The modified shotgun was pushed into his hands, just as
Shinji turned the corner. They could see the red sphere buried in his
stomach. The gun was raised, and Shinji kept walking. The gun cracked,
once, and the round bounced off an octagonal, reddish-orange plate that
formed in front of Shinji as he advanced down the corridpor...


Maybe a good idea? I don't know.

Whoa..does this remind anyone else of the hospital scenes in Akira?

Whoa squared..Shinji an Angel/Eva? freaky...would be interesting to see what
would happen if he _did_ pilot
again....
