"Hatred"? She's in the midst of a strenuous operation -- preparing to hit a target in orbit with a giant fork -- and she casts your 'expression of hatred' right before making the pitch. It's needless to interpret it as any more than a face of intense concentration/exertion, and a product of a strained situation.
When she forces the N2 into Zeruel's AT field and when she gets impaled by Armisael, she does little more than grimace. Granted, this is probably a much harder operation, but why should she not regard it with the same neutrality as she does everything else? She cares enough about Asuka that she wants to help her.
It could (probably) be me looking into this way too hard, but what Eva fan isn't guilty of this at one time or another?
