This is a very bad idea. He kept repeating the sentence over and over again inside his mind, while he was trying to decide whether he should be brave or not. Whether he should ask the girl for help... or rather not. Other students were rushing towards the sweet freedom, but Armin didn't leave his spot. He stood right in the middle of the school hallway, which was surprisingly submerged in darkness in this early morning hour. The lights were turned off.

Annie Leonhardt. He has always thought that her presence is kind of intimidating and intriguing at the same time - he wanted to get to know her better. However, he didn’t dare to bother her or try to talk to her too often. And when he did, he messed it up. Due to the current circumstances, he got the idea that he might try to start a conversation with her again. He needed a reason why obviously... and what could be better than this chaos and a request, which he had in mind for some time now?

He took a deep breath, looking around nervously. He reached into the pocket of his winter coat and fished out his mobile phone, and held it closely in front of his face. A female superhero from his favorite movie was smiling at him from the mobile phone screen. The picture was like a holy water for him. He murmured the name of the superhero very quietly, before he smiled a little and stepped forward. It wasn't difficult to find Annie. Only a few steps away from her, he dropped the phone. Quickly, he picked it up and raised his hand, waving at the girl - pretty much awkwardly.

“Annie!” He breathed out. “I mean... hi, Annie.” He did his best to sound as friendly as possible. “You look like a superhero today.”

The steam scaped from the hot cup of cofee, Eren gently blew it while holding the cup with both hands. The day barely started, but the winter was already taking it`s toll. Grabbing his satchel and fixing his coat, th man walked his way out of the coffee shop with a smile.

Little things would shake him up, coffee was one of them. Making his way downtown, Erean reached the building he worked for. Some black sedans were by the door and many agents gathered. “mhm.. seems like it was another red-case”-Eren muttered to himself while getting to the door.

Stopped by one of the agents, h was asked for I and checked for anything in his coat. “Hey hey calm down.. I work here” -He barked back and handled his ID.- “Dr. Eren Jaeger, Psychologist “ -A voice cut him off while aproaching the guard and the Dr.

“Let him through, he is clear” -Levi ordered, Eren made his way through the gates of the building. This place was originally bilt for adicts and people with issues, but evenually it evolved with the recent waves of Ghouls violence. Addicts and domesic abuse were still the norm, but the authorities had taken a liking to the results with Ghoul victims. As well as agentes in distress.

“We have another patient for you Dr, I don`t have thhe details, but is a young girl. Arround 10 years old. An agent is bringing her later, we are bringing a whole group of patients for you..” Levi spoke calmly, looking for his ligher while placing a cigarret on his mouth-

“Sure thing, bring her to my office.. I have room after lunch.. the ar between cartels keep bringing people”--Eren glared at Levi about to light his smoke, and he took off the cigarrate from his mouth- “you can`t smoke here.. and is bad for you.. trust me.. I am doctor okay?” -Eren said out loud as he began to walk away back to his office.

“You are not that Kind of doctor..agent Leonhardt will be here by lunch with the child, take care of them” -Levi sighed hitting the exit once more.

‘ aye, there might be. ’ but what was here with them NOW seemed pretty bad. the warehouse around them ( a space patrick had hoped would provide a warm, safe shelter ) was CRAWLING with the dead. he wasn’t even sure how he managed to find the one living, breathing person in the midst of them. but it didn’t really matter at this point. they needed to LEAVE. ‘ but we don’t have much of a CHOICE, do we? ’

knife in hand, he slowly started to inch the door open. he was terrified it would make a noise at some point. but it stayed entirely silent as they moved slowly through it then closed it behind them. thankfully there was NOTHING on this side that could hurt them. at least, nothing visible. ‘ see ?? it ain’t so bad after all !! ’

   “Ugh...”

Eren could feel each and every bruise on his body, how sore it was from all the training he had done that day with Annie. Not that pain mattered to him. Truthfully he rather enjoyed pain, it reminded him he was human, and in ways he found it soothing. A physical release for all the built up tension and self hatred deep within himself.

Soon enough, Eren decided to stop acting like a child and stand, wiping the blood away from his face. His eyes soon fell on Annie, the cold friend he’d made over their short time training. Well... if you could call her a friend, for he was not quite sure exactly what he was to her, and part of him didn’t want to find out. She was strange, secretive, an enigma to Eren. And though, to an extent, he feared her, that just drove on his curiosity. What caused him to so stupidly speak without thinking...

(A starter for @sclitary. Western AU. Hope this is okay.)

-Bertholdt and Annie were outlaws. A wanted pair of criminals in a fairly baron land. The pair of gunslingers a long with a colleague had been given orders to kill the sheriff of a town not too far from the one they called home. Now the trio known as the titan gang were on the run. Wanted dead or alive.

Unfortunately the pair got separated from their bulky blond friend while riding away from some law men on horse back. The other side were previously close on their tails, firing their bullets, cursing, yelling. It was a pretty tense situation.

An hour had passed since then. Of course the tallest wanted to go back for his best friend but for now going back was too life threatening. It wasn’t much of a doubt that the muscular male was still alive somewhere, but for how long? They had to go back at some point.

Despite this Bertholdt couldn’t help but keep his moss green hues behind them, desperate to see the other man coming up the horizon after them. It had been a while since they last seen him, but he still hoped.

It was about then that the tanned male realized that he’d been staring back for so long now that he was beginning to fall behind Annie. A gasp was prompted and he bucked his horse to ride along side hers- “Annie...”-He muttered, his soft tone only just audible.- “It’s getting dark and ugh-I”-Think we should go back for Reiner. The male frowned. He knew that wasn’t worth saying right now so he didn’t, instead he lowered his head.-

“What should we do?”-Bertl asked, he was at a loss and being indecisive meant that he depended on his smaller friend. Of course he could fight a good fight but making plans wasn’t his forte. He was too submissive.

“Annie? Wha-”

 Her words stopped mid-sentence as sheraised her hands up to reach the unknown object that had just been placedneatly in her hair. It all happened so fast that there wasn’t even enough timefor Ymir to understand anything. Tilting her head to the side, she shot theblonde a confused glance before replacing the expression with an amused grin.

Seeing Annie still training hardly came as a surprise to him. She seemed to push herself to the limit during every training session, even after. He’d lost count over how many times he’d seen her training when she was supposed to be sleeping or eating. Part of him wondered if she was trying to kill herself with over exercising. He wasn’t one to protest though. Often he’d find himself in the woods continuing with some routines, instead of resting.

      HER ADVANCE STOPPED, if only for a moment as she found herself leaning back against the wall. How had she gotten detected? She’d sworn she’d been as quiet as she possibly could’ve been – but still, this woman had discovered her. Annie grit her teeth and her hands clenched by her sides, before she decided she had to stay where she was. If she came to find whom it was, she could attack then. If she didn’t, she could continue following and try to understand what she was doing. No matter how she thought about it, a hostage would be needed, for information purposes. Eren would be ideal, but he was too protected. Whoever this was, however, would do just fine.

            What exactly was Annie looking for, though? She also wanted answers, but even the question in her mind seemed jumbled and made little to no sense at all. Her hands by her sides, she leans against the edge wall heavily, glad that she’d taken an alleyway after all. If she hadn’t, she would’ve been discovered sooner. Escaping from the crystal had been hard enough, and the fact that she’d even gotten out of the underground cell had been a shock but far too easy. She couldn’t get caught now.

            If she did, it’d be over. She was far too weak to crystallize again.

Qiang cocked her rifle, readying herself and approaching the alley with caution. The location has been closed down exclusively for the Scouting Legion’s use in securing the important person whom they needed to watch over. It was Qiang’s turn to patrol this area while her allies had their own assigned areas to guard. The superiors were out on their errands and operations as usual; after one victory, there was yet another problem to face. Qiang observed that things never seemed to end for the poor soldiers unless... 

She approached the alley steadily, rifle held up and ready. “Who’s there? Come out immediately.” Qiang demanded. With every step she made her boots crushed the pebbles on the floor, giving herself away yet she paid no heed to them. The person would know she was nearby anyway, but little did she know about how skilled the person at hand was at close combat.
