Misato really couldn't argue with her Master's logic even if she weren't bound to him. Maya had shown her something that could bring her own downfall. Certainly she wouldn't take such a risk unless she were on their side, right?
“Master trusts you enough it seems,” Misato said with a nod. She paused a second, trying to find the best way to phrase this. “I've been turned into his genie.”
Maya gasped in shock, then nodded and gave Misato an apologetic look. “I'm so sorry to hear that,” she said sympathetically.
“Sorry?” Misato asked. “Why would you say that?”
Maya's nose wrinkled in disgust as she spat her response venomously. “To be the wish-giving slave of some man... It must be unbearable.”
Misato raised an eyebrow at that remark. She had heard rumors about Maya's orientation for some time now, but this seemed to be the most direct affirmation of those rumors. “Really,” Misato began with a dismissing wave, “Shinji's a very good Master. He wouldn't do anything to hurt me.”
Maya scoffed at that, her eyes trembling with rage as she spoke. “Men are all the same,” she spat hatefully. “They don't care about anything but themselves, no matter how kind they seem. They use and abuse women until they have nothing left, and then throw them away for the next one!” Maya walked up to Misato and caressed her cheek, staring into her eyes as she did. “Tell me dear Misato, if Shinji cares so much, why doesn't he simply wish for your freedom and humanity?”
Misato opened her mouth to respond, but she couldn't find any valid rebuttal. For all of Master's kindness, he hadn't even tried once to wish her or the others free. That does strike me as kind of odd, Misato couldn't help but think. Maybe Shinji did enjoy having the three of them as his personal harem. No! Misato chided herself inwardly. Master wants what's best for us! He'd never hurt us!
Maya could see Misato's inner struggle in her eyes, and gave her superior a mischievous grin. “I see. Okay, here's another question. Does Shinji have any other genies?”
Misato nodded slowly, biting her lower lip as she did. “Yeah,” she admitted in a soft, unsure voice. “He also has Asuka and Rei.”
“Is that so?” Maya asked mockingly. “Three genies, and he couldn't even try to see if he could free one of them? Does that strike you as being a caring person?”
Misato stayed silent, biting her lower lip as she did. She would have plenty to talk to Shinji about when she got home tonight.
Maya cleared her throat loudly, as if to get Misato back on track. “At any rate,” she said, “I'd like to meet up with your Master and his other genies after work. What do you say, Misato?”
Misato nodded and forced a smile. “Sure,” Misato agreed. “I'm sure Master would love to have you over.”
Maya smiled and licked her lips slowly. “I'd love to have your Master as well.”
Misato suddenly blinked at Maya, raising an eyebrow as she did. Don't tell me she plans to...! “Don't try anything suspicious,” Misato warned Maya aloud. “We're on the same side, but that can change quickly.”
“Of course,” Maya said with a smile. Her body then reverted to its normal form, and her uniform appeared on her body once more.
Misato looked at Maya's bust inquisitively, noting that it was still somewhat bigger than it had been before. “You know,” she said in a jabbing voice, “Those tits aren't the same as what you used to have.”
“I know,” Maya replied. “I can't get them that small anymore. It's no problem though.” Maya grinned and winked at Misato. “I plan to take a medical leave and hang around for a week, then come back with my full bust and say I had implants put in.”
Misato couldn't help but laugh at that. The thought of Maya coming in with a set of knockers as big as they were in her succubus form amused her. Or rather the stares the technician would get amused her. “Whatever floats your boat, Maya,” Misato said with a grin.
“Indeed.” With a snap of Maya's fingers, the closet door was unlocked and swung open, letting the two girls exit. They both headed their separate ways, wanting to spend the rest of their lunch hour doing their own activities.
---
Maya smiled softly as she walked along, a triumphant smile on her face. She could see the doubt all over Misato's face. Certainly the woman would learn not to trust men. Speaking of men, Maya thought back to what Misato had said about Shinji. The 3rd Child pretty much owned three women. Three! One wasn't enough, not even two!
That selfish little brat! Maya's mind screamed, her eyes twitching with anger as she struggled to keep her composure. She wanted so bad to take that little boy and bleed his soul form him slowly just to teach him a lesson. However, she did have a duty, and that was to keep NERV form destroying the world. She didn't like the idea, but she'd have to let Shinji keep his genies just a bit longer.
She passed by a clock and took a look at the time. Looks like there's quite a lot of time left before lunch hour ends, Maya thought. What should I do...?
