"Your broken rib it healing nicely…but that amnesia is a bit of a problem." Finnian's eyes widened.

"Amnesia?!" He asked

"It's nothing to worry about…for now." She mumbled as you put a hand on his shoulder. Hanji wrapped things up as she redressed a couple of bandages and asked you the same questions she'd been asking you all week.

'What were your last memories before waking up?'

'Are you prone to head-aches?"

'Do you remember features of the female titan's human form?" and all those times you'd answer.

'Petra and the others in the forest….'

'Starting to be…'

'I already said this, nothing!' and then you'd normally storm out of the room in a foul mood that no one dare disturb for at least six hours, or unless they had sweets of course. Walking back to the bar you and Finnian noticed someone stand outside, even in the sun they had a cloak tight around them, the figure looked up as there almost yellow eyes shone slightly.

"Finally!" The yawned as he walked up to you, with widened eyes you knew who it was, well not their name, but rather you'd crossed paths with them before.

"What the hell are you doing here?" You asked in an annoyed tone as the man just smiled slyly.

You sat in your room, alone with the man in the cloak. He was still wearing it now as you both sat in the silence, you spoke up.

"I don't even know your name…" You muttered as he looked at you, that smirk still on his features.

"I still helped you out with killing that man didn't I? Plus I told you I was going to be a future client, you don't need to know my name." He was the mysterious man, back when you'd killed your old client when he'd started leaking information to the Garrison, but of course that ended in you getting beaten up by Levi, you never thought you'd see him again.

"I'm not in the business no more…" You said, smirking, the man chuckled.

"Oh, I'm more then aware, I've been keeping tabs on you the past 6 months." Your eyes widened slightly.

"When you mean 'tabs'…"

"I, or someone associated with me has been following you, everywhere." You glared at him, even though you couldn't see his eyes, sighing, the man gripped the hood of his cloak.

"I may as well become acquainted with you…the cloaks just for when I'm in public." Slowly he took it off, showing his messy blond hair and dark yellow eyes, he actually looked pretty young. He held out a hand as you took it slowly.

"The name's Eleck." You knew, instantly that you couldn't trust him, he was spying on you after all, crossing his arms, the smirk left his face.

"Let's just get to the point….people in the underground aren't happy with you." You cocked an eyebrow.

"What do you mean? I never talked to anyone there apart from the people I was working for." He leaned back in his chair.

"That's exactly it. That man you killed was the richest person in the underground. He funded everything, illegal 3DMGs, the black market, everything. And you killed him." You clicked your tongue.

"Mind you, that did show everyone what a coward he really was, just using everyone like that. Your actions were a blessing and a curse." You crossed your arms.

"What happened then has nothing to do with now…. Eleck ." You mutted, the man shook his head.

"I believe it does, assassins will come after you now you're back. But I can help, although if you refuse my request…I can't guaranty I will stay on your side for long…" Blackmail? Geez, you could do any better.

"Let's hear it then….steal something, kill a man…I'll probably refuse." He chuckled darkly.

"I want you to assassinate, Erwin Smith of the survey corps." Your eyes widened as you almost fell backwards.

"Never." You stated bluntly. Eleck smiled slyly, what was he planning?

"Not for any price?" He asked, you shook your head.

"Not even – oh I don't know – who killed your mother?" This time you really did fall off your chair, you hit the floor hard as you clenched your jaw. Eleck laughed as he helped you up, as soon as you were on your feet you grabbed him, slamming him into a wall.

"What do you know?" You demanded as he just held his arms up in defence.

"Ah, ah, ah _, you need to do what I asked first." You slammed him into the wall harder.

"I told you, never!" You spat at him as he sneered, flipping the table, he pinning you against the wall as he laughed again.

"I'm more powerful then you ever were, I could bring you down so easily." Releasing you, he walked to the door.

"I'll see myself out," He grabbed his cloak as he put it around him.

"I'll give you two days; if you don't kill him…I'll show you what I can do until you kill." With that he left you in silence, you held your head in your hands. Kill your commander just to find out your mothers murderer, even if you did, you'd be sentenced to death.

"What the hell am I gonna do?..."

{Two Days Later…}

You sat at the bar, eating a cheese toasty as Finnian cleaned a couple of glasses. He put down one and picked up another, cleaning the soapy suds with a rag.

"Haven't you got a meeting today?" He asked as you nodded, it was about plans and where the SC were going to go, another expedition or leave it a year and try and poach some new trainees since the corps had been worn down to no more than 100 at most.

"Yeah, Commander eyebrows and friends wants to go on another suicide run but there are barely 100 of us left…we have no idea what to do." You didn't want to go, after all, less than a day ago you'd been asked to kill your commander for info you'd been running after all your life, but you couldn't let it get to you, whoever this 'Eleck' was, he had nothing on you. Or so you hoped, you'd just have to keep your guard up now.

"You better get going then, it's already 10." Your eyes widened as you jumped off the stool, grabbed your jacket, mumbled a good bye and dashed out the door.

"DamndamndamndamnDAMN!" You ran as fast as your legs would carry you, even if it was shorty and him the last thing you wanted was to be late. Swinging into the halls you dipped and dived between other soldiers until you arrived at the meeting room. You were too late, a sign hung around the door reading 'meeting in progress, do not disturb' you went to knock but the door was already open.

"_?" Erwin asked as you lent down gasping for air.

"Sorry….*gasp* Ran all the *wheeze* way…oh, god I need to get fitter *chough*" Erwin moved out the way as you stumbled on to a chair, which was unluckily right beside Levi and the meeting resumed with the door left open.

About half an hour though, you stopped paying attention altogether. 'It's been two days…' You thought, thinking about Eleck and what he could do. 'Would he attack right away? Or…..' You snapped out of your trance to hear a load of MPs running through the halls, curious, you leaned back in your chair.

"_are you listening?" Ewin asked as he sat in front of you.

"Hmmm….yeah, ye-ah." You kept your eyes locked on the running soldiers, getting more and more intrigued you stood up.

"_, where the hell do you think you're going?" Levi asked as you turned, smiling slyly.

"Curiosity kills the cat you know." He stated as you smiled even more.

"Then I guess I'm the cat!" You grinned as you ran out the door. You followed the soldiers as a crowd massed around a shop in flames, but then you stopped wide eyed.

"Lucy's shop…" You breathed; this was how he was going to start? You pushed through the crowd until someone stopped you; you glared at whoever got in your way. It was someone in the MPB.

"You can't, the fire's raging."

"Did someone come out? A woman, around 20 with dark hair?!" The man shook his head and without a second thought you leaped past them and dashed into the burning flower shop. The air was thick and the entire atmosphere burned around you, you yelled her name but you got no reply.

"Oi! It's _! Are you here?! Coz if you're not….well I'm screwed!" You heard a chocked sputter as you looked over to the turned counter; you knelt down as you saw Lucy, her face the colour of ash as she wheezed for breath.

"_? God, what happened?" She asked weakly, you shook your head as you griped the edge of the counter, but it was just too heavy to lift.

"I'm meant to ask you that." It became unbearably hot all of a sudden as she coughed loudly.

"Some….boy….just set fire to everything…all of a sudden…and flipped the counter on me."

"Did you see his face…" You became weaker the more you tried to lift the desk, but it was like trying to lift 20 large bags of sugar, you had no strength but you still tried.

"No…he was…he was…" Her voice became dull, your eyes widened.

"No Lucy! Stay with me, stay damn it!" You clicked your tongue as you slapped her lightly, but she didn't stir.

"OI YOU MILLITARY PIGS! I NEED HELP IN HERE SHE'S –cough- " You couldn't end the sentence as you chocked for air, everything became hot as the flames began to burn your skin, you cursed as it became painful to move. Suddenly there was a loud crash; your eyelids drooped as someone suddenly called your name.

"_! Brat!" It was Levi, you called him over as he began to help you.

"I can't lift it." You began to cough.

"Lift it on three." You nodded as he began to count.

"One, Two, Three…"
