Story: Curvy Rei

Beer had sorely underestimated the inherent creative cruelty of Rei Ayanami. She and the other clones were all staring at her, unblinking, smiling like loons and absolutely unable to do anything at all to sate their jealousy. All Rei had to do was sit there while they stewed, watching the new mother sitting calmly on the floor letting her son greedily feed.

"Can I hold him?" Beer asked, trying not to sound desperate. "You must be exhausted after that. Right? So - So it's only natural you hand him over to his auntie Beer!"

Rei gave her a flat look. "No," she said. "I do not feel tired at all. How peculiar. According to what I had heard that experience is normally quite traumatising for a woman's body."

Beer winced and tried another course. "I - I still really think you should let me examine him. F-For medical purposes! Make sure he's nice and healthy!"

"Shinji Jr is quite healthy," Rei said matter-of-factly. So calm and cold you could skate on it. "It seems unwise to let you hold onto a potentially helpless hostage when I am attempting to interrogate you."

Now Beer was really squirming. Shinji Jr, how appropriate. Based on how their biology worked, two decades from now that little cutie was gonna be the spitting image of him. Except fitter. Maybe a little taller. He'd also be way less socially awkward, much more of an extrovert and oh, this was tearing her up inside! It wasn't fair! Why did Rei get to be the one with such important responsibility when - when she didn't even understand their important mission!

"Alright, fine!" Beer finally yelled, unable to bear it any longer. "We're trying to keep the human race from going extinct! If the old men at SEELE have their way, then -"

"Then the human race will be forced to become a gestalt entity incapable of further evolution," Rei finished. "Therefore, you are attempting to ensure that humanity has a diverse and rejuvenated gene pool by any means necessary."

Again, Beer was just a bit twitchy about this. "How long?" Beer asked, starting to fidget quite furiously. If there were a Fidget-lympics she'd win all the gold.

"Since I held this little one in my arms," Rei answered. Did nothing phase her? Get emotional, come on already! "Then it became obvious what your true goal was."

"Then why... Are we... Still tied up like this?!" Beer yelled. Snarled, more like. The others jumped just a little, even "Eek" and "Oh no" were apparently content to let Beer talk. "If you know what's at stake, then let us out of here! Bring me Kaji. Give him to me for five minutes. That's all I'll need! I'll get him nice and virile, and set him loose on Misato. Is that so much to ask?!"

"It is," Rei answered. "Because rather than coming to us to ask if you could help, you took matters into your own hands and behaved in an extreme manner. Now that you have made us aware of the situation, we need to contain it and address it under our own power."

"Under your own power?" Beer seethed. Her chest was starting to itch. Without looking she had a feeling she knew what it was. "Humanity has fallen under SEELE's power! And those old idiots got you into this mess in the first place when they caused Second Impact!" It was a scar. Just like the one on Misato's chest, which she had acquired that fateful day when she barely escaped her father's research facility. "If we let you take control then you'll just fuck it up all over again!"

"In other words," Rei said, beginning to gently rock her cradled arms back and forth. The clones, including Beer, watched the motion with reverence. "You need to take control so that we do not make such foolish choices again."

Nnng! Trying to distract her with cuteness! "We.. Just want to ensure the survival of the human race. SEELE just wants to ensure its own survival, that's all. A bunch of old men terrified of death who don't want to make way for the next generation. They'd rather humanity went extinct than face their own mortality."

"And that makes it alright for you to try to seize control?" Rei asked.

"We don't want control! We just don't want them in control either!"

"Every revolution believes they can run things more fairly than the old order," Rei continued. The little bundle of joy in her arms started to whimper a little. She shushed it. "What makes you any different?"

Not fair! So hard to concentrate on the argument when that thing was right there being all cute and adorable and helpless and in desperate need of a friend. Which Beer would gladly give him if she could just get her hands on someone. Anyone! Preferably Kaji, but at this point she was going so stir crazy just about anyone would do if it meant getting her what she needed.

It was obvious. Her mind and personality were corrupting Rei, keeping her from hearing the holy call from Lilith. While her body was changed and her sex drive stomping hot it was clear she was working off her own intentions! Guh. Think this through. Misato was supposed to be really good at tactics, and worked with this girl long enough. There had to be some way to break through to her. But how? How could she...?

Obvious. It was so obvious she couldn't help but grin.

"By the way," she began. "What do you think SEELE will do with Shinji Jr?"

Let the question hang. Let a few thoughts creep in about what that might be and there we go! Clutching a fraction more tightly, that's the emotion we want. Protective instinct kicking in. Actually, it was kicking in for the rest of them as well, ooh, the very idea of the things they would do were making her rather angry!

"They'll find out if they haven't already," Beer continued. "They'll take him away and then... You'll never see him again. Is that what you want?" Let that linger as well. That's right, Rei. Those are the kind of people your old order represents. That's what they're capable of.Of course, if you let us out we could make sure that SEELE doesn't do anything like that. We protect our own, don't we, girls?"

"Eee, so cute!" one of the blanks sighed.

"You see? We're not the bad guys! We just want to make everyone happy." She stopped to think about it. "Everyone but SEELE. Those guys can go rot for all I care."

Now, Beer didn't exactly expect Rei to jump at the chance. No, no. She was still very suspicious about their motives. However. Her body was modified just like theirs had been. Which meant her motherly instinct would be pretty damn overpowering. It would be tough but she'd soon enough see sense. A little bit of pain was starting to creep onto her face now. Yes, that's it. Help us. Please, help us, Rei! Join our cause, for the future of this world. For Shinji Jr's future, and for your own final happiness!
