"Where're the drugs?!" Erwin Smith boomed at the dazed brunette on the hospital bed.
Eren groaned in pain, vision blurry, and mind in a haze. He doesn't understand why this huge ass dude with bushy eyebrows was shouting at him. But, he had more things to figure out. He felt nothing but numbness in his entire body with a thick bandage wrapped around his head. He can only open his one eye and his left leg seems like it had been ran over by a truck.
"Sir! Calm down!" Petra, a petite mated Omega held her boss by his arm with all her strength to stop the giant blonde from attacking the brunette.
"Petra's right, Yeager is still under some heavy drugs sir!" Oluo, Petra's Alpha mate held Erwin by his shoulder.
"You think, I'll calm down now that we finally caught him?!" Erwin hissed at them. "All these years of playing cat and mouse and after he took off my arm..." he gritted his teeth, glancing at his hollow sleeve.
Petra and Oluo exchanged worried glances but stopped their boss from launching on the brunette. Everyone knew what happened to Erwin's missing arm.
It happened five years ago, Erwin Smith was in charge of Yeager's case. His previous team planned out everything, it was all set, perfect even or that's what they thought.
Yeager outsmarted them, he turned the tables, and taking Erwin and his team hostage. They went through a series of torture until Eren decided to kill off his team. The blonde desperately begged the brunette to spared his team and take his life instead. Erwin accepted his faith, but to his dismay, Eren chopped off his arm and dropped them all beaten and almost to death on the entrance of Reckon Corps.
Erwin refused to retire after that. He healed all his wounds, went back to Reckon, and demanded to be in charge of Yeager's case again. He wanted revenge but his previous team didn't. Most of them retired and only two were present in Reckon- doing desk work.
Now with a brand new team and after years of tracking, spying, and planning. Erwin caught Eren Yeager. He finally caught him.
"Excuse me, sir, I understand that you wanted to interrogate the patient," the stoic looking doctor finally stepped in between the outraged Alpha and the brunette on the hospital bed. "But the patient is still under the influence of drugs and based on the findings of his cat scan, we confirmed that the impact on his head had cause memory loss."
Petra, Oulo, and Erwin stared at the doctor. Eyes wide and jaw slack.
"What?!" the three shouted in unison.
"Good job, Levi!" Kenny Ackerman clapped as they left the room. They just finished another successful mission and the higher-ups were smiling proudly at one of their best teams in Reckon.
"Shut the fuck up, uncle," Levi spit, raking his hand on his raven hair before stuffing his hands on his jacket's pockets. "I didn't do all the work," he mumbled.
"Oh, sure you did honey!" Hange cheered, her steps had more bounced on them as she moved to face the two, walking backwards while she's at it. "You pulled us all together!"
"You gonna be fucking kidding me?!" Levi stopped walking and glared at the two. "If you did your roles right and kept an eye on the target than looking out for single Omegas and Betas, we could have finished this shit faster!"
In their team, Kenny's the main man. The Alpha stood all with his classy cowboy outfit, complete that with a brown leather holster loaded with a classic revolver. The old Alpha was willing to ride a horse than a car if the higher-ups allowed him to. He polished their plans for their mission and always a building away with several guns that are ideal for snipping their targets.
Their crazy support- Hange Zoe. A Beta scientist that specializes in brewing up poisons, paralysis, sleeping liquids, and the like. She always wears her favorite lab coat and Levi hardly believed she washed it. She's the witch in the group, not only that she can make lethal and useful matter, her hands were quick and she can fool anyone with her tongue. The crazy scientist is very skillful with tools and her craft, may it be in combat or tending wounds.
And there's Levi. Kenny was his uncle and the reason why the raven wanted to join the Recon Corps. He was also slowly taking over his uncle's place.
He's quick, smart, and his combat skills, as well as his shooting skills, were top notch. Earning him the title of one of Reckon's top agents.
Despite being short as fuck, he used it as his advantage in combat. Sometimes, he'll pull off his wild card if needed. His Omega scent. Levi only did it when an emergency rose. But once he does, guaranteed all Alphas are reluctant to fight him, too bad for them. The thing about Levi though is his OCD on cleanliness, his excessive need to consume tea, and he had a cravat than a necktie.
They're a weird team but they got most of the missions done and one of the top teams on Reckon.
"Levi, how about we go on a vacation?" Kenny asked while they continued to walk down the hallway. This was the third time he asked his nephew every time they finished a mission.
"Yeah, Levi! Come on! Life is not always about work you know!" Hange whined and moved to the raven's side.
"Are you kidding me?!" Levi exclaimed. Turning to their office, he switched the the lights on and went straight to his desk. It was neat and organized just how he left it. While Hange's and Kenny's looks like a typhoon passed their desk. "Go on vacation and let the criminals run rampant on the streets?!"
"We're not the only one's working. Reckon had plenty of teams chasing criminals as we speak," Kenny explained. "And you needed a decent amount of sleep! Kuchel will kill me if she finds out!"
"Calm down, mom doesn't need to know everything." Levi rolled his eyes at his uncle while he pulled out wet wipes on his drawer and wipe down his desk clean. "I'm looking forward to Lukas Loom's case."
"Levi, please!" Hange sighed. "We have been working none stop! We're not robots! You're not a robot!"
"I just love my job and I just want to keep doing it!" He nearly shouted.
Before any of them open their mouths to banter- their office door opened and one of the staff poked their heads in. "Erwin Smith finally caught Eren Yeager!" He informed.
"What?" Kenny gaped.
"Really?!" Hange squealed.
"Took him long enough," Levi said bitterly. He wanted to take Eren Yeager's case but that dumb blonde Alpha refused to take his hands off of it. Levi and Erwin fought it over in front of the higher-ups and in the end, they gave it to Erwin, to Levi's dismay.
"Levi," Kenny scolded his nephew.
"What? I'm just telling the truth," Levi huffed.
"That's rude Levi but Erwin did it!" Hange cheered. Bouncing on her heels with excitement. "I'm happy for him!"
"Not exactly," the staff winced.
"What do you mean?" Kenny asked.
"There are a few... complications." The staff stepped in the office. In his arms was a box full of files and folders. He placed it on Levi's neat desk and faced them. "Yeager was caught due to an accident while in a car chase with Erwin and his team. He's in the hospital, badly wounded and... with amnesia."
"What?!" Three exclaimed in perfect unison.
"Yes, the doctors confirmed after running several tests on the patient. Yeager doesn't remember anything even his name." The staff paused and cleared his throat. "And Erwin is not having it. Everyone suspected that he wanted to do the same thing that Yeager did to him behind our backs."
The three were silent, everyone knew what happened to Erwin. His hatred and drive for revenge was not a secret.
"Clearly, Erwin's not fit to handle Yeager's case anymore but we still need all the information from Yeager." The staff turned to Hange, knowing that the Beta's medical knowledge and skills will help and then to Levi. "The higher-ups recalled that you wanted to handle the case before Sir. Are you willing to take this and continue Erwin's work?"
"Yes!" Levi said without a single beat. He wanted to handle Yeager's case so badly that he didn't give it a second thought.
"Great!" The staff started passing the files to each one of them. "Those are the summary of the case, other details are in this box. I'll quickly inform the higher-ups!"
When the staff left, Kenny let out a long tired sigh while he skimmed through the case files. "There goes our vacation."
"Um, Levi," Hange turned to him. "I know how much you wanted to take over Yeager's case but-"
"I didn't think this through," Levi finished on her behalf. He forgot that Yeager was now captured, in a hospital, and no memories. Therefore, there's no planning, no tracking, and no action. What could they possibly do to get information on Yeager when he can't remember anything?
"Hmmm..." Hange hummed, chewing the bottom of her lip while she read the file. "Isn't my turn now to plan the case?"
"Yeah," Kenny yawned. "I planned our last case."
"Great! Because I have an idea!" Hange beamed.
"Please, ease up with your crazy ideas," Levi sighed. Knowing that Hange ideas were off the roof but still effective. To Levi's reason, the Beta's plans and ideas wer... out of this world but it could be accomplish. It's just too creative for Levi's liking.
"Don't worry, it's not that crazy anymore because of the lack of action and basic stuff but hear me out!"
"Okay," Levi nodded and Kenny straightened. Giving their full attention to the Beta.
"The case was updated and adjusted to Yeager's condition. Since no one knows when his memories will come back, therefore we don't have a deadline," Hange explained.
"Understandable, goodbye vacation," Kenny whined sadly and Levi glared at him.
"But hold on! Here's my plan! Amnesia is no joke, it could take months, years even for the patient to retrieve his memories. But with the right care, support, and positive environment. The process of retrieving will surely progress."
"Just fucking go straight to the point Hange!" Levi groaned in annoyance.
Hange smirked and pointed at the raven. "You will act as Eren Yeager's wife and lovingly help the poor man gain his memories!"
The room was silent. Levi blinked. once twice, his brows knitted together and his face morphed in horror as Hange's words sunk in.
"WHAT?!"
