The soldiers of Levi squad exited the forest and regrouped with the other half of the Survey Corps. Izan and the rest of the squad began to journey back to the walls and they noticed that there was a tied up titan in behind a large cart being pulled by horses. They were dragging it by its wrists; Izan turned his head away and looked to the forest behind him. Izan sighed and was thinking "this will probably be the last time I ever see ever Hellflix again". Then he looked to his left and saw Mikasa staring at him, he wondered if she was thinking about him. Mikasa was in such a deep thought, that it made Izan curious. She then noticed he was looking back at her and quickly looked away. Izan had scared her off, and they quickly approached the gate to the walls.
Half an hour later, when they came between 30 meters of the gate, it was opened. The Survey Corps members and Izan entered the gate and rode toward the Survey Corps headquarters. Izan followed Eren to the headquarters and then dismounted the horse the stables. After that Izan went to the bunkhouse and opened the door. He saw that there were soldiers in there and they wore a green horned horse in a shield as their symbol. One of them turned around and yelled at Izan "you are under arrest for civilian interference in an expedition". One of them took Izan by his arms and Levi saw Izan's predicament but just passed him and entered the bunkhouse. He was on his way out of the headquarters when Hanji entered and asked "what's going on here", the soldier that was arresting Izan "this man is wanted for civilian interference in an expedition" Hanji looked at the guard and said "oh, you're confused… this is Izan Bronze we had him taken on the expedition to evaluate his combat skills. So I'll take him from here".
The soldier let go of Izan's arms and let Hanji take him into the bunk house. Hanji then spoke "we have transferred you to room nine with Mikasa and Eren, so you should go there and get settled in" Izan asked her a question "what about that Armin guy, where's he being moved". Izan listened to the answer given to him by Hanji. Hanji said "he's being transferred to another room… room twelve I believe". Izan remained silent and nodded his head before, he started climbing the stairs. He climbed the three floors and then walked down the hallway. When he met room nine, there was a new door on the hinges and it was open. Izan thought to himself and laughed "Great… another door to kick down". He walked into the room and noticed that Eren and Mikasa's beds were perfectly made up… but the one where Armin used to be was all messed up. Izan said out loud "Ha, Ha… very funny… At least I have a bed to sleep on now, before I had to sleep on the cold hard roads and alleys".
Izan then walked to the bed and pulled the blanket back onto the bed. Izan took off his armor and sword sheath. Izan lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes enough so they looked like they were closed but he could still see around himself. He noticed that after five minutes of 'closing' his eyes, Mikasa walked in the room from the half open door, and saw Izan 'sleeping' on the bed. She slowly walked in and closed the door behind herself. Mikasa then walked to Izan and thought to herself "why am I doing this" but then she subconsciously sat down on the bed. Her brain was telling her to stand back up, but then she lay down and curled up beside him. His arm was behind her neck so if he moved she would feel it. Her hair was soft and it tickled Izan's nose, which made him want to sneeze. He resisted the urge to sneeze, but then wanted to tell her that he wasn't asleep. He fought against the urges and succeeded. Mikasa was very silent she could hear his heartbeat and it was strong.
Eventually there was a knock on the door and Mikasa rushed over to her bed before the person on the other side opened it. when the person opened the door… it was Eren. He came into the room and saw that Izan was 'sleeping' and Mikasa was sitting on her bed, looking at the floor. Eren spoke quietly "I guess Izan's tired; I think it's time to wake him up… unless he doesn't want to eat". Mikasa poked Izan and he rolled off the bed. Izan pretended to have been awoken "huh… wait… what", Mikasa walked past him and said "come on, its time eat". Izan looked confused and thought to himself "already", He strapped his armor back on and put his sword under his bed. He then followed Mikasa down the three levels and out the building. She led him to a building, and when they entered it had many tables inside, and some type of kitchen. There were about two hundred people in the building the majority were leaving, since they were finished eating. When Izan entered some people flagged him down and wanted him to sit with them.
Izan didn't know them so he continued to follow Mikasa until they reached the counter. Mikasa took a tray, and then walked to the table where Eren was sitting. Izan took a tray on the tray was a bowl of soup, bread and a glass of water. Izan followed her, there was one place left and it was beside Mikasa. Izan didn't care where he sat as long as the person who was beside him wouldn't act excited and cocky. Izan sat down and began to eat his meal. Izan took a spoonful of soup in his mouth and then the blond boy who sat across him greeted him "Hello, I'm Armin Arlert. I was there when you said that you were Eren's brother". Izan put his spoon down and swallowed the soup he had in his mouth. Izan nodded his head and spoke "yes… I remember you, I'm Izan Bronze, and I guess you know about me then". Armin responded "No I don't know you, since there is no file on you anywhere. What district are you from"
Izan spoke "none, I'm not from the city… that's why there's no file. I thought everyone knew that now". Armin looked surprised and asked "how did you survive outside the walls", Izan responded "very carefully, eventually we were discovered and attacked by titans. My armor is Titanmail; it has the ability to regenerate like a titan". Eren asked "is that why you come out unhurt by your maneuvers", Izan quickly responded "that and the fact I perfected my landing technique". They stayed silent and finished eating. They left the building and Izan was stopped by a man with short light brown hair. The man punched Izan in the nose; Izan spoke "I dare you to do it again". The man tried to push Izan back; Izan grabbed him by the wrist, locked his forearm with the man's elbow, spun him around and launched him against the building with a bang. Izan turned around and walked away from the man with only a minor nose bleed. It was getting dark so Izan walked back to the bunk house.
Upon entering Hanji wanted to speak to him so he followed her to a meeting hall and saw that there were several people sitting to a table, one of which was Levi. He wondered what they had to say to him but didn't say a word because he didn't want to offend them. he sat to the table and there was silence before a blond haired man spoke "Hello, my name is Commander Erwin, we're here to discuss your future here in the city".
