Side Note: So, Yan is from Levi Ova episode, the one with the bad leg. But online it says his name is spelled as Yan when I looked it up but in the subtitles it's spelled as Jan. I'm going to carry on using Yan for his name because that's what everyone else spell it as..

"This sucks" Mikasa commented as she scrubbed at the living room window, making sure it was completely clean while letting some of her annoyance out. She was now twelve years old, grown slightly and already in the training bras that Isabel had forced her in .. more like threatened in wearing. 

"Keep cleaning that roughly and you'll break through the glass" Levi warned as he mopped the floor. Levi was now seventeen, the same age as Farlan and Isabel being sixteen. 

"I'm just cleaning very well" Mikasa snapped back, scrubbing even harder to get her anger out.

"Sure, "cleaning" is always done like your planning to murder someone" Levi sassed back as he rolled his eyes.

Mikasa stayed silently and moved on cleaner the higher part of the window, still holding the rag tightly and scrubbing with more force than needed. Dipping the rag in the water a little brutily and almost making splashes. Going back to cleaning the window and not even trying to hide the fact she was mad at the others.

"All right, look. Tonight job isn't like any other job we've done before. It's dangerous, might be life threatening even. He doesn't ... something is wrong with him, he asked if he could make a job request but in truth he demanded it. He tried offering us a reward but once we rejected it, he played dirty" Levi sighed, pulling down the handkerchief from his face and leaving it around his neck as he looked to her.

He knew why Mikasa was mad, he would be too in her place but he had to make her understand as well. She was old enough to know and she always tries to understand someone first, throwing how she feels to the side to try and work with everyone through someone knowing she won't always have control. She had a right to know, a right to understand and know why they were pulling her off from watch out  duty tonight.

"Yan" Mikasa answered with a frown, her hand coming to her side as she was already told about him being taken to a hospital above the underground by their new employer. She learnt about it as they told her she wouldn't be on watch tonight while only the three of them worked. She stayed silent but her emotions were running wild inside. 

"He called it already paying the deposit. He paid for it knowing that if we didn't agree to his request, Yan will suffer for it .. you know we couldn't just let that happen" Levi huffed, his grip tightening on the broom stick, almost ready to snap it. 

"His leg was already getting as it's limit, Furlan already knew this. He's seen the same thing happen to his mother, I already heard about it from Rose when I went to visit her and her son Miles. Yan didn't notice it was as bad as it was, that he needed treatment in the hospital on the surface soon or the worse would happen for him" Mikasa admitted, lowing her head since she already knew how bad Yan leg got. She always kept an eye on him when they did look out together or during their weekly game of chess, she took notice over his condition like Furlan did. She just stayed silent, deciding to keep a smile to Yan face and give him a break from real life for as long as she could. 

"We have no choice, Furlan won't let Yan down like this. He's reliving memories over his mother with Yan as the new victim. Yan our friend, he's yours as well and we don't let friends down. But I won't put your life in danger either, our employer is new to these parts and only heard rumour over me. He's only seen me, Furlan and Isabel during our walk out when we start a job. Meaning, he's never seen you with us and never seen you enter the house. He might seen you leave it thinking you were collecting your share of money instead of being the one to deliver it to others. I'm going to protect you from this guy and in return, you might be our only chance at escaping if we need it" Levi replied, losing his grip and staring at the bit of the floor the mop laid still upon. His anger fading as he knew Mikasa would at least be safe from their employer hands if something goes wrong. He knew she'll be safe, warn anyone else in danger and well, might find a way to get them out if it was safe enough. She knew to make tough choices even if she was only twelve now.
