Agh! Finally got this done. As usual, this was beta'd by KappasRule, and inspiration came from DeeRoseWalker! Please review~ In case you get confused, the beginning is a flashback.

I own neither DGM nor SNK

Allen lay still like a rock, barely even breathing. "Bertoldt? You awake?" A hushed whisper sounded. Allen had been placed in a room with Reiner and Bertoldt, two of the most trusted guys in the 104th.

"Yeah." Another voice sounded. "What is it?"

"What do you think of him?"

There was a pause. "He's…. very quiet."

Reiner snorted. "Well, well."

"Oh, you know what I mean. He's secretive, he hasn't told anyone about his past or what he was doing in Shiganshina, like everyone else has." Bertoldt hurried. Allen cringed. They were talking about him, he was raising suspicions. Maybe he should leave soon.

"Allen? You awake?" Reiner asked, catching the motion.

Year 850, Survey Corps Expedition 48

Lenalee had already left to investigate wall Rose. She left before the group had decided to retreat, when it was just a drizzling rain. "Hey, Yu." Lavi greeted the swordsman, jumping onto the same roof he was on. "Have you seen short stack lately?"

"How the hell should I know? I didn't see the Moyashi leave." Kanda said, looking into the reflection of his Mugen. "He could've left with Lenalee or something."

"No, he didn't." Lavi shook his head. "He couldn't have gotten eaten, could he?" Lavi stated, suddenly worried.

"Che, don't make me laugh. Moyashi is too skilled to let himself get eaten." At that thought, a sudden crack of thunder rumbled in the distance.

"Hey! Did you hear that?" Petra voiced their thoughts.

Lavi and Kanda turned to Petra. "I think a thunderstorm is on its way." Lavi noted.

"No, that was no regular lightning strike." Petra shook her head, reaching the two on the roof. "It was that same noise we heard when Allen came on an expedition with us a while ago."

Lavi and Kanda stared at her for a moment. "Nah, it's just natural thunder." Lavi waved a hand at her. "You are just tired, I think."

Petra stuttered, and then groaned impatiently. "Whatever. Anyway, let's go. We're retreating."

Petra leapt off of the roof, and jumped onto a horse. "Well, that was weird." Lavi stated. Kanda just ignored him, and leapt off the roof as well. He landed right on his horse, and galloped into formation. Lavi shrugged his shoulders and followed close behind. By then, the drizzle had slowed to a stop, and the clouds in the sky began to disperse to show the sun.

Allen had walked through the breached wall, unseen. Even though he was a titan, he had great hiding skills, and was able to easily go unnoticed. Allen saw that the HQ for the cadets have been invaded by titans, and there was no way to get to the supplies.

He felt something grab onto and start chewing on his leg. Allen glanced down to see a puny 5-metre titan, and hastily kicked it away. The albino titan slowly made his way to the HQ, keeping away from the soldiers as best as he could. Suddenly, Allen heard a roar. It felt familiar somehow, yet it wasn't his own.

There must be another titan shifter that Allen didn't catch during his training. He had been suspicious of his room-mates, Reiner and Bertoldt, but those were the only two who had caught his suspicions. Sometimes he heard them talking at night, about going back to their hometown.

Once seeing the titan, a few buildings away, Allen immediately recognized his face. It was Eren Jaeger. Titan Eren craned his neck, and glanced back. He saw Allen, and Allen stopped in his tracks for a moment. 'Hello, Eren.' Allen thought. 'Long time, no see.'

Eren glared at him, and for a fleeting moment, Allen saw bloodlust in his eyes. It was as if Eren wanted to fight him. However, Allen gave a nod, and ran away from Eren. Eren just continued on, not giving any other acknowledgment whatsoever. I bet he's not even conscious. Allen thought. But he's under control, so I won't help HQ. They've got Eren.
He ran to a secluded part of town, near the wall Rose. Allen collapsed his body, and cut himself out. Then he scaled the wall, and advanced to where he would meet Lenalee and the others. Away from his steaming, titan body.

Allen had finally made it to where Lenalee was standing, gaping at the Rogue Titan. Her dark boots were still activated.

Lenalee watched the titan wreak havoc. It was so unusual! He was killing all of the other titans surrounding HQ. She was fixated on the thing, which clearly had fighting knowledge.

"Lenalee!"

She turned at the familiar voice, and saw Allen running toward her. "Allen? Where have you been this whole time?"

Allen finally caught up with her. "Well, I came to report to… er… Cross, about the situation, but then I saw that thing!" Allen gestured to the Rogue Titan. Allen pursed his lips. If Lenalee had seen his titan form, she showed no sign of it.

"Where are the others?"

"Oh, they're miles and miles away. It'll take them a while to get here." She raised an eyebrow.

"How did you come here so quickly, anyway? I saw you with them when I left."

"I guess I just had one of the faster horses?"

"Oh, I see. That must be it." Lenalee shrugged. "Anyway, what should we do? Should we interfere?"

The Rogue Titan had finished off all the titans surrounding HQ, and the soldiers had busted through the windows. "No, they're fine." Allen had already decided that a while ago. Eren was still fighting. "I'm not interfering. But you could."

Lenalee blinked. She wondered why, but decided not to ask. "I'm going to help. They're probably going to be titans in there, and they don't have any gas for their 3dmg." Then Lenalee kicked off of the wall, leaving Allen alone.

Allen wondered how much longer it would take for the Survey Corps to arrive. He also wondered if Lenalee still held her suspicions. He doubted it though.

Allen breathed in, then out. "What am I going to do with you, Eren?"
