Awhile back someone posted a bit of fic where Yui came out the eva instead
of Shinji after he hit 400%. The problem is that the real enteresting part
of having her come back is watching Shinji deal with it.

********
New Generation Gospel: The Return.
By Doug Whiddon


	Shinji Ikari sat in front of the TV in Misato�s
apartment. He stared at the screen, oblivious to
whatever was on. His disc player was on, the music
blaring into his ears at full volume. He wanted to
drown out his own thoughts. He didn�t want to
think about what had transpired today. He had
emerged from the Eva. Survived a 400% synchro.
And when he had emerged he had not been alone.
	Who was that woman? She looked like Rei.
She looked like his mother. His mother was dead.
Who was that?
	He didn�t want to contemplate the questions,
he wanted to turn off his brain.
	He wished Misato was home. He wanted
someone to talk to. Someone who would listen, but
not judge. Asuka would make fun of him. She was
in her room. She had realized that Shinji�s mood was
so dark he shouldn�t be messed with.
	Shinji didn�t hear the doorbell. He didn�t see
Asuka answer it. He didn�t see the short-haired
woman enter the apartment.
	He first became aware of her when she
gently touched his back. He took of his headphones
and turned to face the woman.
	�Shinji? you�re Shinji?� She asked.
	�Are you... my mother?� He asked.
	She nodded. �I�m sorry, I didn�t realize how
much time had passed.�
	Shinji had no clue what to say or do. Yui
sensed his confusion.
	�Come home with me.�
	�Home?�
	�To the geofront, your fathers apartment.
Your father wants you to come home. So we can be
a family again.�
	Shinji took a moment to let all this sink in.
He was torn between laughing and crying. It was so
absurd. �My father!? My father hasn�t so much as
sent me a birthday card in eight years. And the one
time I do hear from him it�s to send me out to fight a
war form him, I�m lucky to be alive! My father
doesn�t give a DAMN about me, he only want to
use me. First to fight angels, and now to con you.�
	Shinji�s eyes were cloudy. He was starting to
cry. He couldn�t face his mother. He couldn�t look
her in the eye. He had takin his pent up rage out on
the one person who deserved it the least.
	�I love you.�
	Shinji sank to his knees. �No one�s ever said
that to me before.�
	Yui hugged. �I did. Every night when I put
you to bed, I always said it. Please, come with me.
I�ve missed so much of your life already, I don�t
want to miss more. Please com home.�
	Shinji shook his head. �No. I can�t. I can�t 
face him. He doesn�t care about me. He cares more about 
Rei then he ever did for me.�
