Titans Rule, a Levi Ackerman x Fem OC story.

(11) Old acquaintances.

~Amelia~

The process of having my blood taken was relatively painless. Visually, my blood looked the same: a deep crimson red. However, with my newly acquired abilities, I knew some of my genes would be irrevocably changed. But the most fascinating part of the whole process was watching the hole in my arm seal itself up almost immediately.

"Fascinating," Hange commented, their breath tickling the hairs on my arm as they examined the mended skin.

"I've never seen anything like it," the doctor revealed, his eyes widening in amazement. "Well, apart from Eren." He chuckled as he grabbed the vials of my blood and safely placed them into a rack. "Here, Hange."

Swiftly, Hange ripped their eyes away from my arm. A large grin spread across their face at the sight of my blood. "Thanks for your time, doc. I'll let you know the results—if I'm allowed," Hange winked at him. I wasn't sure if I was comfortable with Hange going around and telling people willy-nilly about what was in my blood. I hoped Erwin would deem the information as classified.

"No worries, Hange. If Amelia's feeling better, I'll see myself out. I'm sure Nurse Gott will need my assistance by now."

"I'm doing fine, thank you. I'm pretty much already healed, so I don't want to keep you from your work any longer," I reassured him. In truth, I wanted the doctor to leave so I could rest. The stress from the blood test had exhausted me. I never thought I'd rather return to the mouldy dungeons than spend another moment being experimented on, but here we are.

The doctor bid us farewell and scuttled out of the room.

"Well, I need to start analysing your blood before it starts to go bad. We can call it here for today. I want to compare yours and Eren's healing abilities, but we can save that for another day."

"Thank god," I heard Eren wheeze out. He obviously hadn't been in the mood for any more testing, just like I wasn't.

"That sounds great, Hange." I got to my feet, testing for any dizziness. It had been over five years since I'd last had a blood test. I wasn't one to faint, but that could have very well changed in that time.

Fortunately, I felt completely fine, which meant we could finally leave. Levi was the first to reach the door, pushing it open vigorously. I glanced back at Hange, who had already started preparing my blood for analysis. A pang of anxiety washed over me as I silently hoped they wouldn't find anything in there that could reveal my secret.

"Corporal!" Eren paid his respects and then hurried off. I felt like doing the same, but Mother Nature was calling first.

"Corporal," I got his attention, "I'd like to head to bed after all of that excursion." I watched as Levi's eyes lit up. "But first, I need to visit the bathroom," I added, surprising myself with the casualness of the request.

Levi cringed at my request. "Fine."

Levi and I quickly made our way there, as I was pretty desperate. He perched himself on the wall opposite the door, giving me an impatient look as if to say, 'Hurry it up.' The urge to be painfully slow crossed my mind, but angering Humanity's Strongest Soldier probably wasn't the best idea. So, I picked the nearest stall and locked myself in.

As I was about to start doing my business, I heard footsteps outside my cubicle. "Occupied," I called out to the person waiting.

Suddenly, the door flung open with a dramatic kick. Luckily, I had only started unbuttoning my trousers, so I wasn't in too much of a state of undress. Not that it mattered in the situation I was in. I had more important matters to worry like the pair of hands squeezing the air out of my throat.
