Well, unfortunately it's those parallels that both draw Rei to Athena and make her worry.

Usagi and Athena do share a lot of traits, and Rei absolutely recognizes them. But unlike Sailor Moon, Athena doesn't have the ability to effectively defend herself, and she keeps seeming to wander into dangerous situations without really thinking her actions through entirely. Rei worries about Athena, and it definitely bothers her that she vanished for several days without a trace (but the lecture on that will have to wait for the resolution of the raid plot!).

Removing the parallel with a certain odango-fan, though? Rei really, really appreciates Athena. She's one of the first friends Rei ever made that wasn't someone tied to her by destiny. Basically, Athena was one of the people that came up to her for no reason and was just nice without wanting anything, and that just doesn't happen. That means more to her than being Sailor Moon, as a person. Because at home? She has friends but they are all magical girls, and while she loves them? One of her dreams is to be able to live normally. Without being judged for her ability, or used for her looks and wealth. Athena and a few others really fill that desire, and she's ever so grateful for it. Minako's appearance did kill the burgeoning crush though, and that's for the better, but it was there.

She does wish Athena would be more open with her though, or at least more trusting. She's extended a lot of trust in Athena, and while she's not worried about it being used against her, she'd like it if Athena was a bit more open with her in turn. It's not every day that she just up and decides to tell someone her secret, after all.

tl;dr? Athena's one of the first normal friends Rei has ever had, in her entire life. She'd leap through fire and fight an army to protect her.
