(Hanji's POV)

After Eren had hung up on me I had continued to call him again and again. He wasn't answering. Eren you idiot, what have you done?

"Erwin we have to go. I think Eren did something really stupid." I informed Erwin as I went to his car. Even if he didn't want to come along I was going to go, and I needed him to realize that quickly so we didn't waste time arguing about it.

"What happened?" He asked, and got in the passenger seat. Not getting upset that I am going to be driving. I couldn't help but laugh. Levi would skin me alive if I ever did that.

"Levi was kidnapped by the angels and I believe Eren has gone after him." I informed Erwin after I gained my composure again. Now really isn't the time to laugh, but I'm a nervous laugher.

"Just when I thought I was going to get a break." He mumbled to himself.

"Oh come on, there's no need to be so rude. Levi's like family to me, so if you are going to be with me you're going to have to put up with Levi as well. And his boyfriend, Eren." I said with a wide smile.

"Eren I can deal with." Erwin looked out the window. "But I didn't know they were dating. Are you messing with me?" It took him a while to notice what was wrong with what I had just said.

"They will be dating soon enough. Just you see." I gave him a wink.

(Eren's POV)

I woke up with a slight understanding of what happened. The last thing I remember was Levi getting stabbed, but I know some other things happened. It was blurry after that; something about shaking and loud noises. Something was telling me not to try to think about it too hard, but the only thing that mattered to me at the moment was that I make sure Levi is okay.

"He's waking up." I heard a voice come from somewhere. The room I was in looked very boring, actually, it's a hospital room. Yes, I took Levi to the hospital. Why am I in a hospital bed though? I'm fine.

"Hello sir, please don't get up." A doctor, or at least the woman in the white coat, gently pushed me back down on the bed. "You have a serious concussion. You need to stay in bed, and try your best not the fall asleep again."

"Where's Levi?" I asked. I need to see him.

"Who?" The doctor asked concerned. The possibility of delirium was most likely going through her head.

"The guy I showed up here with." I hoped that could give her an idea of who I am talking about.

"The man who came in with the stab wound." A nurse told the doctor. She finally seemed to know who I was talking about.

"Oh, yes. He's fine, he only needed a few stitches. He was very lucky. Now please worry about yourself more. You have the chance for brain damage, so we would like to take another look at the pooling of blood in your skull in a few minutes. If it hasn't gone down we are going to have to take a small piece of your skull out to relieve the pressure. Do you understand?" The doctor was talking slow as though I might not be able to understand her. I don't feel like I've got any head injury, in fact, I feel perfectly fine. Maybe a little exhausted, but it seems like I've had a long day considering what has happened so far.

"I get it. As long as Levi is okay then I am okay." I mumbled and tried to put my hands over my eyes to cover from the lights that seemed to keep getting brighter. Maybe I could just close my eyes for a minute? I know I'm not supposed to fall asleep, but just because I close my eyes that doesn't mean I'm sleeping.

"Come on! Hurry up! You take forever." I kept shouting at Erwin as he rushed to the bathroom of a gas station. Most of it was teasing, stopping at a time like this didn't sit well with me. However, I took this opportunity to try and call Eren and Levi one more time. After a few moments of ringing I was sent to voicemail. "Dammit." I cursed under my breath.

"Sounds like someone's having a stressful day." A stranger who had parked next to me said. He leaned into the window of the car on the passenger side. I quickly moved my hand so it was next to the gun that was hidden under the seat. Just in case I needed to use it.

"Yeah, but the day is still a good day in my opinion. There's not a cloud in the sky." I responded nicely. All those years of having to interrogate people you really learn your people skills.

"That's true." The stranger said before walking away from the car. That was weird. I checked the passenger side to make sure that the stranger hadn't left anything in the car. I found nothing. Maybe he was just a friendly person. Soon after the stranger left Erwin exited the gas station with snacks in hand.

"Took you long enough. I almost died of heat stroke out here." I joked the second Erwin got in the car.

"It's not even that hot out." He corrected me. I laughed, he never really was good when it comes to jokes, but somehow it was never annoying to me. It was actually a reason I liked him.

"Did you see that dark haired guy that entered just before you left?" I got serious.

"Yeah, what about him?"

"Did he seem off to you at all?" I wanted to make sure that Erwin didn't get any strange feeling about him.

"No, why?"

"Nothing, he just started talking to me and I wanted to make sure it was just a nice gesture." I answered calmly.

"Should I go in there and douse him in holy water?" Erwin attempted at making a joke.

"We don't have that kind of time to waste." I started driving off.

(Eren's POV)

My surroundings seemed to flash from one to another. I didn't know I was asleep until I saw my father. He's been dead since I was little; this has to be some sort of dream. I started looking around the dark room I was in. There were other people around the room looking at me. I was sat in the middle of the room on the floor. Guessing by how everything looked so much bigger than me I had to be smaller, probably just a little kid. Why does this dream feel so real? There didn't seem to be one thing out of place, and it was as though I was fully aware of what was happening. Most times dreams just play themselves through till the end.

"Now Eren, remember what I told you." My father said as he set an object in front of me. Somehow I knew what he meant even though I couldn't remember. I was supposed to move that object, but I didn't want to because sometimes I would get a weird feeling when I would do things like that. And worse of all, it wasn't normal. I don't like being weird.

"But Daddy, I don't want to." I heard a small kid's voice echo in my head, that's my voice. The watchful eyes of the strangers made me uncomfortable.

"Just do as I say and we will be able to leave here and get some ice cream." He tried persuading me. However, that wasn't why I finally gave in. It was because one of the strangers brought out a gun and held it to their side. The little object, which was only a plate, suddenly flew and hit the ceiling. Breaking into a lot of little pieces. Scaring a few of the watchful strangers.

"Now we leave." I said sternly. Making sure my father knew he wasn't going to get out of his promise. When I looked back to the person who was holding the gun it was no longer in their hand.

"He is making progress." One of the strangers said. I didn't pay attention to their comment.

"Yes, we can go now." My father said and lead me out of the room.

I opened my eyes and I heard the beeping and humming of medical equipment. I fell asleep, didn't I? My plan was only to close my eyes for a moment. Did they have to take a piece of my skull out? They said that they might have to do that, but when I felt around my head I didn't feel anything. I was able to relax and look around the room. To find Hanji, Erwin, and even Levi. Hanji was giving me a very disapproving look. Here comes the lecture.

"Eren, what you did was beyond stupid." There was a long deliberate pause. "I think you have what it takes to be a hunter." She said cheerfully, to my surprise.

"Thanks?" Is she being serious? Or is that supposed to be a joke? She wasn't laughing, so I could only assume that she was being serious.

"Do you remember what happened to the angels?" Levi questioned me.

"I remember they stabbed you. Are you okay?" I asked concerned. He has to be okay if he is walking around, so that question really wasn't necessary.

"What happened after that?" He asked, I guess that wasn't the answer he was looking for.

"It's kind of hazy." I said; I didn't remember exactly what happened, everything from when Levi was stabbed to when we made it to the hospital was still just a blur to me. Hanji and Levi shared a look. "Um, is it important that I remember?"

"No." Hanji spoke.

"Yes." Levi spoke over her. No one said anything after that, and Levi and Hanji seemed to be having a silent battle. That's when there was a knock at the door.
