"The new military commander of NERV is arriving today." Ritsuko observed.

"Well, they couldn't leave me in charge forever, considering how important this is," Misato agreed as they waited at the airfield for the jet to arrive.

"She's a real warhorse, apparently. Joined the army shortly after WW II after lying about her age, served with distinction, reached the rank of four star General before retiring," Ritsuko said.

"Enough narration, here comes the plane," Asuka said excitedly.

The jet came down, then taxied nearby to where they were standing. The door opened, stairs went down and a few juniors emerged first. Then the silver blond haired woman came down the steps, an attractive brown haired woman by her side.

"AUNT TANYA!" Asuka cheered, running up and hugging her.

'AUNT TANYA?!' Ritsuko and Misato thought stunned.

Tanya Degurechaff, former German military and family friend of Asuka's, patted Asuka's shoulder as she said, "It's been a long time, little one..."

Saga of Tanya the Evil & Evangelion.

Coming soon...?

Notes: PROBABLY not. THough we'll see.

Basically she's 'Aunt Tanya' because she was both a friend of Asuka's mom and may have been kinvolved with NERV BERLIN helping train Asuka as a pilot.
