Teaming up with an angel had never been part of the plan. The plan was to get Eren, Mom, and herself to safety, a pretty dream, but still a dream nevertheless. No, when Eren was kidnapped Petra knew her back was against the wall, and she'd need all the help she could get.

"Keep up, will you?" Levi growls, bringing her back out of her daze. He's the angel she's had to team up with and so far he's been a pain in the ass.

"Not everyone is built like you freaks are."

"But you should be able to keep with your elder. At your pace, you'll be dead by the time we reach San Francisco." Petra tries to think of a witty reply,

"Whatever," Afterwards, she tries to walk even slower just to piss him off.

It's about an hour later when they make out the former skyline of San Francisco.

"So, where do we find him?" She turns to ask Levi, but he's lost in his thoughts. For the first time, since being around him, he looks almost happy. This is his chance to finally get his wings back, and take his rightful place among his brothers. Now he really resembles the beautiful angels from the World Before. Perfectly chiseled features, body, and face framed by inky dark hair and a small smile.

"What?" His voice brings her back to reality. For a minute there, she forgot it was his kind who destroyed this earth. For a minute, she realized she might actually miss him when they split up. Immediately, she shoves those thoughts into a huge vault. He's the enemy, she can't forget that, no matter how human he looks.

"Where do we find Eren?" She repeats and she can't help notice for a millisecond, she thinks Levi forgets she's the enemy too.


A.N. This is an au based off the amazing book Angelfall by Susan Ee. In no way did I capture the greatness Angelfall is, it's dark, features the most badass protagonist in literature, and has amazing action scenes. I shifted some things around so I didn't spoil anything but please go read this. If you do you'll be my new best friend.
