SailorStar9: And with Chapter 6 up, this is Chapter 7 for this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Pairings: Established Levi/Mavis. Hinted Eren/Mikasa and whatever cannon pairings there are.
Disclaimers: I own absolutely nothing.
Chapter 7: I'm Home
"What is hell is going on?" Eren hissed, boarding the pull cart. "Damn it!" he took his seat beside Mikasa.
"But," Armin stated, walking towards them. "Would Titans want to destroy walls with other Titans in them?"
"They already did when they broke the wall to get into our city." Eren reminded.
"No, they only broke the gate." Armin corrected.
"Armin, what are you thinking?" Mikasa pressed.
"It's just that the walls..." Armin trailed. "The stone they're made of is seamless, with no joints of signs being cut. And we have no idea how they were created. What if the walls were created with the Titans' abilities? If Annie can encase herself in crystal, creating a wall doesn't seem too far off."
"The Titans... could have..." Eren blinked.
"Squad Leader," Moblit urged, with the plans in his hands. "Can't that wait? We're supposed to leave in five minutes!" he pressed Hange was still peering through her microscope. "Please hurry up!"
"I just want to confirm something..." Hange voiced.
"Hey." Levi cut her off. "Move it."
"Oh, sorry." Hange beamed. "But is he ready?"
"He's been ready for awhile now." Levi snorted.
"And as usual Moblit looks really stressed." Mavis noted bemusedly.
"Eren, cover up." Mikasa pulled the Survey Corps cloak over Eren's shoulders. "It's cold at night."
"Sorry to keep ya!" Hange greeted the three teens. "It took us a while to get prepared."
"Um..." Armin voiced as the four adults boarded the cart. "Why did you bring a priest from the Church of Walls?"
"Oh, Nick here is one of my best friends." Hange beamed. "Well, don't mind him. There's no rhyme or reason to the way these groups are organized. Don't you think, Levi?"
"No, there is." the stoic soldier replied. "Erwin did not put these three together for no reason."
"Open the gate!" the order was given.
"The situation within Wall Rose is unclear." Erwin addressed his troops. "What we do know is that Ehrmich is still safe. Going through there will save us time. Move out!"
"Let's go." Levi instructed.
"Huh?" Eren echoed in shock. "He knew? This guy knew all along about the Titans inside the walls?"
"He sure has." Hange confirmed. "But he won't say a word about it. Now that he's about to get a taste of reality of the Titans, will his faith be strong enough to keep him silent? Or will he start to question himself?"
"No, screw that!" Eren snapped. "This isn't right! If you know something, tell us already! Nothing's more important than keeping humanity from being wiped out!"
"Eren, don't get so worked up." Mikasa cautioned. "You haven't recovered from your transformation yet."
"I know more than one way to ask a question." Levi revealed the gun he kept hidden. "My injury may be keeping me out of action for now, but I'm still more than capable of babysitting. I'd prefer not to have to give anyone any new orifices today. What do you say?"
"Threats don't work on him, Levi." Hange stated. "I've tried already. He seems to be level-headed and capable of making sound judgments. That's why I have to wonder... what if there's something even more important than the fate of humanity that is keeping him from talking."
SailorStar9: Any OOC-ness is regretted. *Sighs* Don't you just hate plot bunnies sometimes? Read and review.
