Chapter One

Eren's footsteps thudded loudly throughout the pristine white halls. The lobby, a plain white room filled with only stainless steel benches and a holographic "front desk" system, brimmed with activity.

He stopped to register at the hologram welcoming him to the Medicinal Research Institution. His green eyes darted around the facility staring at the scientists and androids walking and hovering by.

The young twenty something felt out of place being a prolific author rather than a researcher. Eren glanced at his watch nervously, palms sweating.

Finally an android called him up. This model appeared to be a business style one with a crisp white button down shirt, a plain black pencil skirt, and a jacket. "She" looked so human one may have mistaken her for one, the only sign being "her" flashing eyes.

"Her" eyes flashed for a moment as "she" scanned him and internally brought up his data. Mr. Eren Jeager Gov. Circle A, Relationship status: married, Reason for permit: anniversary, he was sure it said.

The android promptly swiveled around and hovered down a hallway behind her. Eren padded after her navigating a slowly diminishing mass of people as the hallway continued on. The walls shown, sterile white, and bright green strips of light bordered the edges. Along the hallway were a myriad of break off hallways appearing the exact same.

Just as the hustle and bustle of entrance had seemed to drift away, a break off hallway appeared looking dark and foreboding. The android swiveled back around to face Eren and scan him once again. Once she was positive he had not somehow changed his molecular structure in the time they had gone down the hallway she flipped around and floated into the hallway.

The walls of this one, he noticed, were a dark stainless steel lined with red strips of light obviously indicating a special permission zone. The hallway seemed to continue into eternity with no rooms or doors in sight. Only the sound of Eren's footsteps and the whir of the android's hover mechanism filled the the silence of the empty area.

A chill ran up Eren's spine the further they went into the hallway. It seemed like a scene out of a sci-fi/action book when the main antagonist would appear and try to kill the protagonist.

Almost imperceptible, what appeared to be a small scratch came into view on the hallway's left side. The android stopped and the previously silent Eren the out a squeak as he teetered away having almost run into the android. "She" slipped her fingers into what was obviously a deeper scratch than had seemed at first and pulled.

A secret door appeared and the android motioned Eren in. He stared at the room. It, like the rest of the building, had been painted sterile white with the only other major color being the metallic silver of stainless steel. Bottles of unknown liquids and chemicals lined countless shelves and medical and scientific research equipment cluttered the counter tops of the tables in the room.

In the corner a woman stood hunched over her work. She wore a red scarf and a lab coat. Her short black hair swung with her movements. Eren smiled sadly. This was not his wife but rather an android of the highest quality, practically human. A hologram flickered to life across the room.

"Eren!" An electronic sounding voice called out his name from somewhere.

He faced the hologram, tears waiting patiently behind his eyes.

Finally he focused on the tank in the center of the room beside the hologram. The cylindrical tank contained a greenish looking preservative fluid. Inside floated a brain connect to several wires turning it into almost a living computer that controlled the android in the room and the holographic projector which was the way the brain showed its human form and interacted with others.

Eren took a deep breath a faced the hologram. He smiled sadly at the image of his wife.

"Mikasa my dear, Happy Anniversary."

AN: Welcome to my story! I'm really sorry for the bad summary. This one is an idea I came up with a couple days ago and hope you like it. The main purpose of this chapter was hook the action will truly begin chapter two. By the way, the story will end up being Eren X Levi with a bit of Eren X Annie (Eren will be sort of like Shion in No. 6 in terms of sexual orientation) If this one gets a good number of readers who like it I will definitely continue, but even if I don't I probably will anyway. Reviews are greatly appreciated!
