Dude just because she's grown up, doesn't mean she's out grown terrorising anything in the multiverse she deems as cute. How else would you explane her insistance that Hotaru serve her wearing that Rozen Maiden outfit. Or was that Hotaru ShadowMistress she made do that?

I would not be surprised if they were not friends.

Hence why each and every multi-dimension/universe sprawling civilization should have a Dimensional Avatar Registration Darabase as part of their immigration and naturalization services....just to keep track of who's who and what's that...

Plus, I imagine that as a maturing eldritch intelligence, Annie can probably assume any of her already lived ages as a matter of course(which means that possibly, at her younger stages, she could be mistaken for the StarChild from '2001' or a Humalki from 'Manhunter'.

That's kind of scary.

Annie would have her own contingency plan for the "Mr. Squishies", as she likes to call The Old Ones. And it would'nt surprise me if one of the Old Ones betrays the rest so that it wouldn't be a new "pet."

Ya, I could see that happening.

[i]"THOTH! YOU TRAITOROUS BASTARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!"[/i]
Though actually I'm inclined to believe that the transformation circle that made Thoth actually had shunted him in time and space into the grasp of Annie. The resultant insanity did the rest.

Could be.

Annie: "Lunk!! Lookie what I got!! (Holding The Old One in a leash, who also happened to be wearing a pink tutu)"
Lunk: "Uhm, where did you get THAT?!"
Annie: "Well...this big circle came out of nowehere...and it was all glowy and stuff and POOF!!! My new Mr. Squishy!"
Thoth: "Help me...I'll give you anything you want! Just HELP ME!"
Lunk: "I don't know..."

“RUN FASTER!”
Captain Asuka Soryu Langley-Grant didn’t why she was tapped for out-dimension missions like this; she wasn’t a great traveller, nor a particularly perceptive egghead. Oh, she understood the value of being a trained and experienced Evangelion pilot, and the heavy firepower they brought to any table, but why tap her for missions where an Evangelion WASN’T part of the party TOE? She was in R&D these days, not First Contact! Show her something that needed blowing up and she’d either do it personally, or she’d develop something that somebody else could use to finish the job! Anybody could bear witness she wasn’t a field scientist OR a diplomat!
But somebody noted some similarity in a newly discovered world-line and thought it would be handy to have one of the original three Evangelion pilots on hand to offer her viewpoint, and she was the only one available, Rei already committed exploring some distant star and Shinji off someplace in hidding from his many female admirers(spineless wuss! When she REALLY needed him....!).
“DON’T LET THEM CUT US OFF! FASTER!”
“WHERE THE $%^%^’S OUR AIR EVAC!??”
UGGA-CHAKKA-UGGA-CHAKKA-UGGA-CHAKKA-UGGA-UGGA!!
So here she was, scrambling down the beach of a post-Impact alternate Earth with a half-dozen other hapless halfwits who’d been clotheslined by some beancounter’s, or doplomatic wunderjerk’s insistance on a ‘non-threatening posture’, fleeing from a horde of spear- and AK-wielding mutant penguins.
UGGA-CHAKKA-UGGA-CHAKKA-UGGA-CHAKKA-UGGA-UGGA!!
“WARK! WARK! WARK!”
-And the icing on the cake, the god-leader they were worshipping-
“AFTER THEM! THEY HAVE CHOCOLATE! AND BRING THE IMPOSTER TO ME!!!”
-bringing up the van, the half-naked, war-painted and feather-dressed younger version of herself, waving a war spear as she was carried along on a sedan-chair.
“Yep, ignoring orders and staying home next time!” Asuka grunted as she pelted through the sand stretching to reach the safety of the expedition shuttlecraft just visible on the distant horizon. ]

Shinji was startled from his ten consecutive game of War Thunder when the wall of his room exploded.

Asuka: "YOU! YOUR THE ONE WHO HAD ME ASSIGNED THAT MISSION!"

Shinji: "Now Asuka, I honestly thought you needed to get out."

Asuka: "Oh, I understand completely, in fact I was talking with you mother, she agrees with me, YOU need to get out more."

Shinji: " "

Asuka: "An important personage is making a diplomatic visit, I suggested to Command that you could show her a good time and they agreed. Here she is now!"

A giant hand reaches in and grabs Shinji.

You'd figure that the awareness would have learned by now that at least 75% of the females across the megaverse ARE the most dangerous of the species.

City of Themyscira, Themysciran Public Baths
About a dozen women are all lounging about the public bath when a bare wall of the room lights up and a doorway opens up in it.
Through the door steps a man in military uniform, coffee mug in one hand, sheaf of paper in the other occupying his full attention as he strides along.
About three yards out from the door, he stops, just before he can topple into one of the pools of steaming water, pauses, looks up, glances side to side quickly, then in one smooth motion turns on his heel to face the door, which is just disappearing seamlessly back into the bare wall.
The various women in the room are scrambling for their weaponry when the man closes his eyes, then in a low voice grits out;
“I know you’re listening, so I’ll make this simple. If there isn’t a return Door open by the time I finish this, WHEN I get back, there will be a BLOODBATH such that ten generations later, cadets will be soiling themselves hearing of the details.”
A door promptly reappears in the wall.
“Good day, ladies.”
The man stomps back through it and it disappears, before any of the witnesses can throw any of the spears, buckets, or brushes they have in hand.

Yeah, 'Elysium's' pretty ridiculous.
