Levi caught him before he hit the ground.
"Look at him Hange! What the hell have you done?"
Hange looked down at the unconscious Eren. His face which had been bright red was now as white as a sheet.
"..."
"He doesn't look good does he?"
Levi snapped, his eyes shooting daggers at Hange.
Hange wasn't used to her experiments going badly and the fact that she was pretty fond of the Titan shifter made it hard to accept that she'd actually caused him harm.
"I..I..didn't mean to hurt him. I thought it would be fine you know, because he's a Titan..that the power could have made him stronger or something...surely he'll be fine?"
Tears were forming in the corners of her eyes
"Won't he?"
If he wasn't so angry and panicked, Levi would have found Hange's unusual display of emotion touching. But given that she had caused possibly serious harm to humanities last hope, Levi wasn't in the mood to be sympathetic.
"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW!" He screamed, "All I do know is that we're gunna have to get him to a doctor. And soon!"
He scooped Eren carefully into his arms.
"Right shitty glasses! Can you do something useful and go tell the medical team what's happened. I'll bring Eren to the hospital wing and meet them."
"Yes sir" she answered before sprinting out of sight.
"Right then" Levi said out loud. He shifted Eren in his arms and carried him bridal style into the Recon Corps building.
He walked as fast as he could to the hospital wing, ignoring the various shouts of "Eren!" "What happened to Eren" and "Who's tha- ERENS DEAD!"
When Levi arrived Hange and a male doctor were already waiting by the closest treatment unit.
"Put him down here" the doctor ordered, pointing to a raised wooden bench. Levi placed Eren down as gently as he could and stood back.
"This is the Titan boy yes?" The doctor asked Levi.
"That's correct"
"I'll need to examine him to find out how badly he's injured, so if you could leave and return in about an hour it would be very helpful"
This was normal procedure so despite their worry, Levi and Hange nodded to the man and left.
Commander Erwin was waiting for them in the hall awaiting an explanation. The three of them walked outside where they wouldn't be heard and Hange described what had happened. Erwin wasn't angry with Hange, just "dissapointed". He couldn't punish her though, given that he had granted her permission to experiment as much as she like on the boy. He regretted this now.
After about forty five minutes they walked back to the hospital wing.
A different doctor with blonde hair came out to meet them.
"Commander Erwin, Dr Gret has asked to speak with you alone"
"Of course" he replied, and followed the blonde through the door.
Hange and Levi looked at each other nervously, wondering why only the commander was allowed in.
Levi thought now was probably a good enough time as any to apologise for his earlier behaviour.
"Hange, I'm sorry for how I spoke to you before, I know your experiment was well meant. I was just panicking and said whatever came to my head"
"That's alright Levi. It's my fault and I deserved it. I should have been more careful. Do you reckon he's okay?"
"I'm not sure. I mean if the commander was called in I think it's probably quite serious"
"Oh god-"
At that precise moment Erwin walked out of the room. His face gave nothing away, but then again with those eyebrows it never did.
Levi spoke first. "Erwin what did they say? Is the brat gunna be okay?"
Erwin sighed and looked at his comrades. "Well there's some good news and some bad news."
