Hi everyone. I didn't mean to wait so long before publishing the next fic. This one is much longer. I think it's maybe 6 or 7 chapters. Hope you all enjoy!

Levi doesn't get mail often, and when he does, he never reads it in it's entirety. He usually just reads the first line and calls it a day. The same thing will probably happen here.

When he holds the letter up, Levi can see that the handwriting is obviously that of a child's. It's not Ina's, he can tell that much. How a kid got his information, Levi isn't sure. But he has some time to spare, so he'll humor this brat.

Dear Captain Levi, sir,

He can't help the short chuckle. The kid seems to be very unsure of himself.

My name is johnathan. I go to school with Ina.

At the mention of his daughter's name, Levi finds himself leaning forward- trying to pay more attention to the contents of the nearly two page letter.

She's going to kill me when she finds out I did this. But I don't think I have a choice. Captain Levi, someone is hurting Ina.

That same sinking feeling in his chest. Like his heart is collapsing on itself. Levi can't breathe, but tries to continue reading.

She didn't want to say anything to you. The last time I tried to convince her to talk to you, she twisted my arm until I promised to keep my mouth shut. But I can't do it. I can't watch her fall apart like this.

"Fucking get on it with it!" Levi finds himself yelling at an inanimate piece of paper and continues to read.

I won't lie and say the first few fights she got into were equally parts her fault and our classmates. But this is different. Ina hasn't done anything wrong. And she doesn't deserve to be hurt this way.

A group of kids from our class have doing things to Ina. I don't know everything, but a part of me doesn't want to. Still, I know that every day she walks into class she looks worse. She won't eat, she's not sleeping, and I'm pretty sure she's falling behind in the school work.

Ina says she doesn't want to force you to come back here and get her out of trouble again. She thinks that by telling you, that she's bothering you. I don't really understand it. I guess that she probably felt bad when you had to come talk to the headmaster after her third fight. At least, that's what she told me. Ina said she's tired of calling in adults to solve all of her problems. I think she's a little embarrassed. Well, a lot embarrassed. She told me she'd never been to school before, and I was kind of able to tell. There were a lot of rules and things that she… that she missed or didn't know about? I guess I'm getting off topic.

I've tried helping her. I've tried everything I can think of. The last time I jumped in front of one of those kids, the school suspended me for fighting. I was gone for 2 days and when I came back she had a black eye. I'll never forgive myself for that. It was stupid of me to think I could change something. I got in their way, and she paid for it. I'm sorry, Sir. When you get here, I think that I should get at least some kind of punishment. I should have known better. My dad used to hurt my mom. Things got really bad at our house. My mom told me when trying to help someone in that situation, you had to be careful. Because if you're an idiot like me, the bad person will just hurt whoever you're trying to help. I knew better, but I let my feelings for Ina lead me to a stupid decision. I'm so sorry.

It's because of this that I haven't gone to the teachers. I know how that would go. Those boys would know I told. And as soon as the teachers look away, they'd hurt Ina again. I'm not letting her get hurt because of another stupid choice I make. Besides, they already know. They can see what I can. They know Ina is being hurt but aren't doing anything about it. Our teachers are useless.

As more time passes… I keep seeing my mom in Ina and that's scaring me. I think that instead fighting back, she's letting them do this to her She tried fighting. She tried running. She's confused and more than a little afraid. It hurts to see her this way. I can't watch this anymore.

Ina really needs your help. I don't want to lose my best friend, but I think she should leave here and never come back. There's plenty of great schools around here. My mom knows about what's happening and offered to help. We'll help you find a new school for Ina. We'll help in any way that we can.

I think those boys need to be taught a lesson. I'm just one kid. I tried to help her but I got her hurt. She's going to be really upset when she finds out I told you all of this. But I can handle that. If she never wants to talk to me again, that's fine. I just want her to be safe.

Thank you for reading my letter, Captain. I'm sorry that this upset you.

I'm so sorry.

Sincerely, Jonathan

Levi doesn't realize what he's doing until it's already happened. He falls into some sort of anger induced trance and doesn't come to until he's sitting on the floor in the center of his office. He takes in his surroundings and observes all the overturned and destroyed furniture. What…. happened? There's a painful sting in both his hands. Where did the blood on his knuckles…. Levi looks around a second time. There are several dents in his concrete walls and 2 holes in his door. Did he do that? What is going on?

Did he lose time?

There's a faint knock on his door. Levi sharply turns his head toward the noise.

"Is it safe to come in yet?"

Levi tries to get up from the floor without using his hands. The fingers on his left are definitely broken, and his right wrist feels like it's sprained.

What happened?

"Hange?"

"Levi… what's going on?" Hange opens the door and carefully steps around the disastrous wreck of his office.

"I… think I lost a few minutes." He groans as Hange helps him up.

"Can you remember what happened before you blacked out?"

Right, think back. What was he doing? What… he was reading something wasn't he? He hadn't started working on his paperwork yet. So was he really reading? Or doing something else?

"I'm not sure."

"Levi, your hands." Hange grimaces at the gory sight of both of his hands. His fingers are bent out of shape and his right hand is completely limp at the wrist.

She heard the sound of wood splintering and came to investigate, but wasn't expecting this. She's never seen Levi exhibit this level of rage before. Even when he was at his lowest, he always seemed to have a degree of control. No matter what was going on. This was pure unadulterated fury. It almost frightens Hange in a way. His desk chair is in pieces. The 600 pound mahogany desk is overturned with a large crack running down the middle. Something's happened. Something triggered him. Hange finds herself anxious to discover what sent Levi over the edge.

"We need to get you cleaned up, Levi." When she takes his arm he flinches.

"Hange. Why can't I remember?"

"We'll figure this out together, okay?"

Levi just nods and let's Hange lead him out of his ransacked office. Stepping over shredded leather bound books and jagged shards of what must have been a mug.

"Wait." Levi turns around, unsure what he's looking for.

"Wait, I'm missing something."

"Levi we need to set the bones in your hands." Hange says gently.

"No. It was… it was a letter! I was reading a letter. Fuck, why can't I remember!" Levi hisses in pain when he brings his broken hand to his sweaty forehead.

"Levi, I'll send someone in here to look for the letter. Just come with me, we'll figure it out."

"It's Ina! Somethings wrong! I know it!"

He fights to get back inside his office.

"Something's wrong with Ina!"

Hange stops him with firm hands on both of his shoulders. "Levi! Relax for a second. Breathe. Just in and out."

He tries to follow her instructions but finds that he can only breathe in. His mind is moving a mile a minute. "Hange, Something's wrong! She's hurt!"

"Levi, I need you to trust me. Trust me. We're going to figure this out but we need to take this one step at a time."

"Someone's hurting her." Levi can't understand these lapses in his memory. But what he can remember is scaring the shit out of him.

Hange is finally able to get Levi to the infirmary. She sets the bones in his left hand and immobilizes the sprain in his right wrist. She then sends 4 scouts into his office to search for the letter he rambled on about.

It takes an additional 2 scouts to lift the mahogany desk to search underneath it. They find the letter in question. And then understand with perfect clarity why the captain went berserk. They deliver the letter to Hange who is still consoling Levi in the infirmary.

"I told you! I told you she's hurt. We have to go! Right now!"

"We will, Levi. Just let me gather the 104th."

And there you have the first chapter. Jonathan is actually a very special character for me. He's borrowed from an original story of mine which I'll probably never ever publish. But he's one of my favorite original characters. You'll see more of him and Ina in the upcoming chapters. Until next time, thanks so much for reading!
