Okay, I haven't written a fix in a while but here you go! Mikannie, but of Reibert, mentioned JeanMarco and Yumikuri etc, and hopefully multi-chaptered. Please enjoy and review, thanks! ^-^

Annie's breath turned to mist, condensing the moment it left her lips. It was cold, incredibly cold for Spring. But she thankful for it. The cold forced everyone indoors, absolutely no one was roaming the streets tonight. And it gave her the excuse to shadow her face with her hood and keep her gloves protecting her fingers. It was a good cover.

She paced up and down the path, glancing back at the large building behind her. The National Bank. Her lips curled into a smile. She wasn't out in the cold for fun or anything like that, she was here because that building was also here. She was part of a robbery.

Her best friend, Reiner, had lead a small group of four others into the building, determined to take something of value for themselves. She didn't really know what they took, only that it was hella important that they got it. Honestly, she wasn't really in this for the money they received for selling off the ancient treasures, she was in it for the kick she got of breaking the law.

At the moment, she was on guard duty for the group. She glanced up and down the gloomy street, blue eyes searching for any movement in the dull night. None, save the swirling of mist that cloaked the street. Reiner obviously didn't want anyone finding out they were doing this and he'd appointed her make sure that happened. This was her first time doing things with them.

He'd told her that she was perfectly suited for this job, even though his words were rather insulting to say the least. He said that because she was small, most people wouldn't view her as a threat to them. That much was understandable, Reiner himself was muscular and burly. He looked as though he'd box your head off if you so much as spoke to him. He'd said that she was attractive enough to stall any man and if it was a women, it was her area of expertise.

She hadn't appreciated the jab at her sexuality but she'd agreed to do it none the less. Besides, he couldn't exactly talk about such things with his boyfriend also going on the mission. She really liked Bertolt, he was tall and quiet but nice and kind at the same time. They actually had conversations that she enjoyed. It was obvious that Reiner was the more dominant in that relationship.

The other two were two people she wasn't as familiar with as she was with her best friends. She actually hadn't met them before this job, though Reiner said they were good people. Well, good in a sense that they could accomplish this mission, not good in a good-and-evil sense. None of them were good in that sense.

One of them was Jean Kirstein, an aggressive bloke with a face like a horse and an attitude like he was some great leader. Admittedly, he was a good strategist and could keep a level head but he wasn't the leader. Reiner was. He was okayish, mainly staying away from her and talking to the lads. She didn't mind that, socialising wasn't her strong point anyway.

The other one was the only other girl of the five. Her name was Ymir. Just Ymir, no last name or anything else. Annie didn't trust her at all. Like, she didn't even trust them enough to tell them her last name. And they were meant to trust her on this robbery thing. Ymir was tall and cold with a haughty, I-couldn't-care-less attitude. She didn't seem to like Reiner, though she was chatting it up with Bertolt. Jean avoided her too. Annie didn't really know why she was in this group. As far as she knew, Ymir didn't have much useful talents.

She glanced up and down the road, shivering against her will. Her grey hoodie was only keeping her mildly warm, she wished she'd worn more layers. The night was setting in quickly, the sky fading to a dull black. The streetlights had switched on only a few minutes ago, adding a minuscule amount of light to the darkness.

She paced up and down the road, stuffing her hands into her pockets. Even when moving, she wasn't warm. She stopped walking and leaned back against the icy wall, the gun stuck in the waistband of her jeans digging into her skin. Her eyes circled the path, focusing on a suddenly approaching figure. Someone was approaching.

She narrowed her eyes, gazing down at them. They weren't close enough yet to be able to distinguish their features but she could tell their physical form well enough. Tall, way taller than her, though Annie was incredibly small so that wasn't too hard. Femininely built and well muscled. A girl, she guessed.

The mist parted and Annie could see clearly what they looked like. A tall girl with beautiful, chin length black hair and gorgeously dark eyes. Annie had to admit that she was really attractive. She wore blue jeans and a black jacket closed over her torso, all well fitted to show her body. The girl was most certainly walking her direction, though her destination was steadily unclear. Annie straightened up, smoothing out her hoodie. She had to ignore whoever that was, they needed to get this job done. Without interference.

She tugged the hood lower down her face and stuffed her hands into her pockets, blowing out most puffs in the the impression of cold. Truthfully, she wasn't to miffed by the temperature, it was just annoying. Her gaze steadied on the frost covered pavement in front of her. Ignore Annie, she told herself. Just ignore them. They'll walk on and ignore you too. But it seemed like the other person wasn't going to let that happen.

"Hey."

Annie froze, tensing up her shoulders. Interaction. Actual human interaction. She stared at the ground, breath caught in her throat. Okay, she had to talk to the girl. She couldn't be labelled as a weird creep, that would be suspicious as hell and bad for her rep if she was ever recognised. She forced herself to look up into the gaze of one of the most attractive people she'd ever seen. That fact didn't help at all.

Annie had never given her sexual orientation much thought. Honestly, she didn't really care about it. She was who she was and she didn't need any labels to announce that to the world. She was her own person and no one could change her. But damn, this girl was hella good looking. She looked down at Annie, head titled to the side and dark eyes gleaming into hers. Annie swallowed, uncomfortably.

"Hey."

Okay, okay. That wasn't too bad for first time talking to a hot girl. But seriously, she needed game. This girl was really, really attractive. That didn't help her talking skills one bit. She stared upwards, taking in how tall this girl was. She was jealous of that bit. Reiner and co often teased her because of her height and here was this chick towering over her and looking at her with those dark eyes...

"Sorry, can I like stand beside you? It's just, it's really cold and, um, body heat? You wanna warm me up?"

Annie arched an eyebrow at the taller girl, intrigued by her. What sort of a question was that? She frowned, staring up at her. Pick up line or just awkward with her words? Doubt that, because it was still a weird line to pull. Still, she didn't mind but how on Earth was she going to say that.

"Sure. The more the merrier."

It just slipped out without her thinking. Instantly, she cursed herself inwardly. She sounded so sarcastic. Geez, she was absolutely awful at this. She tried to smile awkwardly at the girl to tell her she was genuine but it felt so strange that she bet she looked as though she was in pain.

The girl didn't seem to mind, slipping into place next to Annie against the wall. Their arms rested next to each other, both covered by fabric but still able to feel the other's presence. Annie's heart started to beat faster with nerves. This was new waters for her. Annie didn't have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, never had one ever. She didn't know what to do.

"Thanks. I'm Mikasa, by the way. Mikasa Ackerman."

Mikasa Ackerman. She'd heard that name before, though she couldn't quite place it. She shrugged it off. Probably someone Reiner knew and mentioned to her before, he'd contacts all over the city. It wouldn't be too surprising if she was one.

"Annie Leonhardt, It's nice to meet you, Ackerman."

It was Mikasa's turn to arch her eyebrow at Annie, a smooth movement of her perfect face. But she didn't look annoyed with her, only amused with a tinge of satisfaction. Annie smiled back at her, not in the least bit sorry. She spoke what she wanted to. Brutally honest was how Reiner described it.

"Well, what are you doing out here, Annie? It's freezing and like ten o'clock at night. Surely, you got a better place to be then stuck her in the cold," Mikasa asked, eyes gleaming.

"Nah not really," Annie said, surprising herself with her carelessness. "Just waiting for a ride. Unfortunately, my bastard of a brother's not coming for me anytime soon." The lie rolled so easily off her tongue, something she'd perfected over the years.

Mikasa smiled, a flirtatiously cheeky smile. Annie knew enough about flirting to recognise it. "You can always ride me, sweetie."

Annie's jaw dropped, body tensing up. She could feel the heat on her cheeks as a blush rose to her skin. Fuck, fuck, fuckidy, fuck, what do I do now? she thought. Dammit. Mikasa winked and Annie blushed even more. Damn that girl and her way with words. She was absolutely speechless.

"Too forward? Sorry," Mikasa smiled. "Most girls like it when I'm blunt with things. They find it... sexy..." She leaned forward, face barely two inches away from Annie's. The taller girl playfully bit her lip and Annie felt a heat stoke deep within her. Still, she remained silent, blue eyes caught on the dark ones.

Mikasa pulled back, leaning her head back against the wall. Disappointment was obvious in her expression, though she tried to hide it. "Ah well, guess I'm not your type then, huh? So what's your story? You got a boyfriend or a fuckbuddy that's better than me? That's a shame, you're really cute."

Annie's mouth went dry. She knew she needed to talk, put herself into the conversation and tell Mikasa that she was interested. She had to. Because honestly, she liked Mikasa like that. Still, this was uncharted waters, she had no idea how to flirt.

"No."

Mikasa arched her eyebrow, lips curling slightly. "No? No, I'm not your type?"

Annie shook her head, raising her blue eyes to Mikasa's black ones. "No, not that. You are my type and no, I don't have a boyfriend. That's not what I'm in to, honey."

Mikasa didn't say anything. Instead, she moved in, soft hands cupping Annie's face. She knew what Mikasa was about to and didn't try to stop her. She actually wanted it. She wanted Mikasa to kiss her. That wasn't usually what she was like. Only five minutes she'd known this girl and already, they were kissing. This was a good day.

Mikasa's lips met Annie's, kissing her gently at first. Soft movements of their mouths as they made out in the cold night. It was amazing. Annie grabbed Mikasa by the front of her shirt, pulling her closer. Mikasa took this as permission to step it up a bit. Their tongues were brought into play, a feverish fight for dominance. Annie lost and Mikasa slowly explored her mouth. The taller girl pinned her to the wall, hands moving down from her face to her waist. Her thumbs brushed the soft material of Annie's hoodie, slipping underneath to touch her skin beneath.

Annie pulled back, blue eyes wide with exhilaration. Whoa. Mikasa's thumbs rubbed small circles on her skin. She stared up at Mikasa, the dark haired girl smiling down at her.

"Well, Annie..." Mikasa smiled. "You are one hell of a kisser."

Annie smiled, chuckling a little bit. She laid her head on the girl's shoulder, letting her hold her weight. Mikasa didn't mind, gazing down at her with an odd emotion. Geez, this was one hell of a night. She really didn't expect it to go this way. She'd expected to just stand in the cold and wait for the others to finish up. She looked up.

"Tell me why did you talk with me?" Annie whispered, suddenly. "Why did you openly hit on me? I mean like you said I was cute but what are you doing here?"

"Same reason as you," Mikasa smiled, though this time it wasn't as warm as her other ones. "I'm here because of the robbery."

It took a few seconds for Annie to register what she'd said. Robbery. She said robbery. The robbery. The one Reiner and the others were on right now. The one Annie was also a part of. She was here because of it. What? How could Earth could she have possibly known about it? Unless...

Annie reached for the gun stuck in the back of her jeans but Mikasa was faster than she was. A knee smashed into her chest and she doubled over, wheezing as her breath was shoved from her lungs. Mikasa's elbow crashed into her back and she was sent sprawling onto the ground. She hit her head hard, crying out in pain, her eyes watering as she strained to see. Dammit. Dammit all to hell.

She'd let Mikasa's good looks distract her from the mission. She was fool to actually think that someone like her could ever be interested in herself. If only she'd realised, if only she'd been thinking! This had seemed like such a good night but in reality, Ackerman had just been playing her. Annie cursed herself. Dammit. Reiner was not going to be pleased.

Mikasa straddled Annie from behind, one hand closing around her neck to hold her still. "You are really cute, Leonhardt but I'm just doing my job." She sounded proud, proud of how she'd fooled Annie and got her on her knees. Annie's anger bubbled. "Annie, you're under arrest for the assistance-"

Annie suddenly launched herself off the ground, throwing Mikasa off her. All she needed was few seconds and things would be okay. Mikasa was thrown back against the stone wall, the girl crying out. Annie was on her feet in a instant, yanking the gun out and pointing it at her. She levelled it with Mikasa's chest, finger lingering on the trigger. But she didn't pull it. She wouldn't get the satisfaction of doing so yet.

She turned the barrel away from the dark haired girl and towards the sky, letting out one shot. The shot flew upwards, stuttering into a spiral of red smoke and bright sparks. A signal flare. That was the warning sign they'd agreed on. Red smoke meant the mission was to be abandoned and they were to return to base. The mission was compromised. She knew the other police in Mikasa's accompanying force must have seen it but she knew that that was the only thing she could do at the moment.

"Fuck you, Ackerman," Annie snapped.

Then the police cars started to pull up around the bank, sirens suddenly blaring at the highest volume. The once quiet and still night was filled with noise and action as Annie started to run from them. She burst through the doors of the National Bank, dodging a shower of glass as a couple of bullets followed her, breaking the glass doors with ease. Dammit.

She needed to find the others and they all needed to get out of here. In a few minutes, the whole place would be surrounded and swarming with officers all armed with guns. They'd be trapped and definitely get caught. They wouldn't get out alive.

She ran, not really caring where she was going at the moment. The police were entering the building, guns held out in front of them as they fired at her. Luckily for her, each shot missed her and she escaped unharmed. She ran deeper into the building, heading down the many weaving corridors. She hadn't got a clue where she was but anywhere was better than with the guns.

Suddenly a hand shot out and grabbed the front of her shirt, yanking her off her feet and into a broom closet. She was spun through the air and hit the ground, air being forced out of her lungs as she hit the wooden floor.

"What the fuck is going on, you little bitch?!" Ymir hissed at her, snapping the door shut behind them angrily. "You fired the God damn signal! What the hell, we're not done here!"

Annie sat up, glaring at the girl. Ymir stood in front of her, eyes wide and full of fury. But beneath that anger, she could see the tell-tale signs of fear. "The police are fucking outside this god damn building, you dumbass! We need to get out of here. Now!"

Ymir's face fell, panic swiftly rushing not over her features. She stood back from Annie, hands running frantically through her hair. Annie stood up, dusting herself off and glaring at the girl. She didn't have time for this. She didn't have time for Ymir's worries. She needed to find Reiner and Bertolt and get out safely. Jean didn't really matter to her. He could go fuck himself for all she cares.

"No," Ymir whispered to herself. "No. I'm so sorry, Krista... I was just trying to help..." She stared to sob, throwing her head back to stare at the ceiling. "I didn't mean... My dear Krista... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

Annie slapped her hard across the face, the sound echoing loudly about the small closet. Ymir's cries stopped and she stared at Annie, face shifting to shock. Annie sniffed in contempt. "Pull yourself together, bitch! We need to get out now, otherwise we're absolutely screwed. Whoever the fuck Krista is, it sounds like you need her. Get out for her. Come on, mate, help me out. I wanna live."

Ymir stared at her for a few seconds, eyes strangely empty, then slowly nodded, her voice hollow. "Okay. Okay. Got it. Yeah. Lead the way, boss." She sounded slightly dejected but ready to go.

Annie threw open the door and stared to run again, Ymir hot on her heels. She needed to find the others. Okay, Reiner had said something about documents. Important documents they needed to retrieve. The main office was where they needed to go.

She altered her course, weaving back towards the entrance. It was risky going back towards the police but they had to take the chance. There was nothing else they could do at the moment. All the while, Ymir silently followed her which was odd for the usually sassy girl. Usually, she'd have made smart comments or rude remarks about everything. She was thankful for the silence and the ability to think.

They made it there without running into a single guard which was weird and wrong. They definitely should have at least seen one. Something was off. When she appeared into the main hall, the reason was right in front of her.

The guards and Reiner were having a stand off, both sides glaring each other down with eyes glowing with anger. But the only reasons the guards weren't firing him down, was the girl he held a gun at. Dark hair, absolutely gorgeous, Mikasa. Annie shoved that through from her mind, rushing over to his side. The guards paid her virtually no attention. Bertolt stood behind him, pale faced and terrified. His own fun trembled in his hands. Reiner glared them down, shifting Mikasa in his grasp.

"Let her go, kid, and no one gets hurt," said the head guard, Captain Levi Ackerman. He wasn't aiming for them, instead merely eyeballing them down. He was short but his muscles bulged from beneath his shirt. He had a careless attitude to him.. But Annie knew it was just show. He wasn't going to make a move, not with Mikasa's life on the line. Captain Levi was much to honourable for that. And besides, she knew now why Mikasa's name was so familiar to her. She was Levi's niece, another Ackerman and a prodigy at that.

"Shut up, you fool!" Reiner snarled. "Move aside! All of you! Now! Or I'll blow her brains out! Do you fucking want that?!"

The Captain glared at them, his neck muscles twitching. A few tension charged seconds passed and then finally he raised his hand. "Let them pass."

The guards reluctantly started to shift aside, all still aiming for them with their guns, eyes narrowed in anger. Mikasa writhed in Reiner's grasp but the muscular boy had a firm grip on her. She wasn't getting anywhere. Annie slowly followed Reiner as they moved for the door. Silence spoke volumes between the two sides, tension rising with each step they took. They made it out the door without any problems.

They moved silently across the path and towards their escape car, a big white van. Annie personally hated it. It was too easy to spot and not fast enough to outrun the smaller and faster police cars. It was stupid and too stereotypical but Reiner enjoyed the kicks he got out of it.

Jean got into the front, turning on the engine with his keys. He hadn't spoke and didn't look all that bad. Of course, he was pale faced but he wasn't sweating like Bertolt. He stared straight ahead, jaw tight and clenched. Annie and the other two got in the back.

"We'll catch you, you bastards," Levi growled. "I'll fucking make you pay for this. You'll all rot in prison and I'll be there the whole time, mocking you. You don't harm someone I care about and get away with it."

Reiner flipped him the finger with one hand. "Fuck you, Captain." Then he slammed the door shut and Jean started to drive. The guards didn't follow, thankfully and Annie could finally breathe again.

Reiner didn't release his grip on Mikasa, holding her tightly. But he looked at her, eyes dark with anger.

"Well, Leonhardt. Looks like we've a problem on our hands."
