Mae's POV

I wake up feeling lonely though I know the reason it was because all my friends are now in Captain Ackermans squad

******Flashback******

" OK team I know that we lost a lot of people including all of levi's squad but we have come to an agreement to have him pick from mine" commander smith said I looked at him shocked

Ten I see Levi walk on stage "OK brats I will not choose by ranking since I want to see it myself so I will test all of you then choose my team" he booms out I start to feel nervous knowing that I will have to hold back if I wanted to get revenge for my brother.

After the testing both skill and brains we meet back in the center and wait for him to arrive hoping that I downplayed enough I start to figgit knowing that when he announces then I can finally relax.

"The people who are on my team are Mikasa, Jean, Sasha, Armin, Marco, and Connie I want you all to report to the mess hall" he says before leaving

******flashback ends******

I sigh before getting up and dressed before eating with the rest of my team I quickly get ready since this will Be the only times I will see my friends

" Hi Mae" Sasha yells from the table I smile at her " hey guy" I say with a smile " how's team Levi" I ask curiously

"He's a total dick" Mikasa whispers

Sasha rolls her eyes " he just likes things clean is all" she says

"He's a total germaphobe" jean practically yells

"Shh he'll hear you and I am not cleaning the horse barn again" Connie scolds

I laugh a little trying not to full on laugh but fail miserably.

After a while I am finally able to quiet down and it was perfect timing too because at that moment I saw commander smith and captain Ackerman walk in
I look Back at Mikasa curiously " Why is his last name Ackerman" I asked her she looked at me blank for a moment before speaking.

"I don't know I have never heard of him" She says in a bored tone I look at her face to find any source of lying but I don't see any I shrug my shoulders and go back to eating knowing that I won't have my question answered yet.

After we eat I say goodbye and meet the rest of the team at the center and see that commander smith is on stage.

"I know that the deaths of our allies is disconcerting but we have to move forward though we are not ready to travel to the basement since levi has to get his new team in order what we will do is forge a path slowly and by time we get done he'll be ready" He says in a loud voice

"We are leaving in twenty minutes so get your things ready today" He says before walking off stage we walk to our rooms to get dressed before getting the 3 DMG's and making sure that we have everything before heading back to the center.

I start to weave my way through killing off as many as I can before he gives the signal and we head back to base I can't wait to see how my friends are doing though I hope that my parents are satisfied of what I do but I will never really know I can only hope that I don't get the letter I almost feel stupid for being scared I guess their training worked on me after all but I am glad that it wasn't fully otherwise I would've never met my friends.

After killing twenty titans we head back it kinda makes me wonder on the way how there could be this many titans and another question that also plagues me is. Where did they come from? were they really always here or were they added later on by a force I only hope that the basement has all the answers.

" Cadet Saito" I hear commander smith say in a loud voice I turn toward him and give him an awkward smile wondering what he wanted I walk tentatively to him.

"Sir" I ask cautiously though there is no need

" I have noticed that you have tremendous skill and that your knowledge is impeccable I was wondering if you wanted to join Levi's team" he asks I really start to ponder wondering if it will be a good choice to or not.

"Can I think about it" I ask shyly

"sure make a wise choice" he says before leaving me to my thoughts that try and think of the pros and cons I would be closer to my friends and I might not hear complaint from my parents but on the other hand I will have to deal with Levi Ackerman a clean freak who acts like he has a stick up his butt and he only goes to certain expeditions or ones that he wants though he does have the reputation of going to all of them.

I shake my head I will think more about it later right now I need a shower and go to the mess hall and hopefully talk to my friends.

Levi's pov

I give them drills after I tested them on their skills then I did my paperwork as i sat near to make sure that they don't slack when I was done I decided to have them finish up when it started to get dark and start to clean our base.

" Ruthless as ever I see" Erwin says with a chuckle

" what is it" I ask knowing that he is here for a reason

" Well I saw one of my cadets and she was good and then I decided that with your numbers that you would need another" He said with a shrug

I raise my eyebrow " is she any good" I ask hoping that he ain't pulling my chain since I know that these shitheads are still need another though I don't remember anyone standing out.

" I would never give you anyone that is bad how about you see for yourself in our expedition tomorrow" He said

I sigh heavily and comb my fingers through my black hair " I hope you are telling the truth" I answer

"We leave at dawn" he tells me before he leaves I go to my room and start to organize it knowing that tomorrow will be a long day.
