Complications Throughout Generations

Chapter 101

Eren's POV:

I sobered up rather quickly, or at least tried. I need to find Armin. Now.

"They're 10 minutes away," Reiner said to me and Jean as we ran down the stairs. "Jean, come with me. Eren, find Armin." I nodded.

Reiner had also figured out his own theory of how Armin would receive his memory. He was also correct.

I knew Reiner was in a good enough condition to drive, Jean wasn't completely sober but definitely functioning. They left the house and closed the door behind them.

"Armin!" I couldn't find him. I kept looking but he was nowhere to be seen. Levi still stayed in the same spot with his own cup in his hands. "Levi, where's Armin?"

"Why? So you can fuck him too?" He rolled his eyes. I grabbed onto his shoulders and he dropped his drink on the floor.

"No, you idiot! Bertolt might be fucking dead!"

"What does that have to do with Armin?" His voice was shaky. Death was a difficult subject for Levi. But hopefully him knowing the situation at hand will get him to help me.

"Everything!"

"Alright." We dispersed and went to different places in the house. I spotted everyone else except for Mikasa besides Armin. They must be together. Historia might know. I found her by the counter taking shots and pulled her to the side.

"Where's Armin?"

"Upstairs in the guest room with Mikasa. He started freaking out."

"Fuck."

"Why, what's wrong?"

"I'll explain later."

I ran back upstairs, nearly falling on my face. I immediately opened the door to see Mikasa comforting a screaming and crying Armin in her arms. I immediately closed the door behind me and also dropped to the floor with him.

"Why did you do this?" Armin sobbed.

"What?"

"Why?!" He voice cracked as he tried to scream and then tackled me to the ground. "You hurt everyone, Eren! You hurt me!" He punched me directly in the face but I just let him. The last time we fought, it got messy. "You hurt Mikasa! You hurt Levi! You hurt Jean!"

"Eren! How could you say that to her?" Armin screamed and crawled on the table to throw a punch but Mikasa blocked it and pinned him down. "Mikasa?" Armin and Mikasa were both shocked by her actions.

"See? Everything you've done in your life has been dictated by your Ackerman blood." Mikasa backed away from Armin in fear of herself. She continued to cry and stutter nonsense. "That blood is all you really are."

Armin finally had the opportunity to throw a punch and he took it, knocking me off my chair. Big mistake, Armin. I blocked his next blow and hit his jaw, immediately making his mouth bleed. Then I had taken him by his collar and threw him into the wine bottles.

"Jaeger!" Two Jaegerist's with guns came to my rescue.

"I don't need help." Armin lifted himself up as blood dripped from his nose. "Hey, Armin. The two of us have actually never fought before, have we." Armin threw another punch which I dodged. "You know why that is?" But then returned the favor by actually hitting him. Over. And over. And over. "It's because it would never be a fair fight!" I screamed and kneed him in the stomach. Armin fell to the ground unable to move. I was shocked I was out of breath.

"Please," Mikasa emotionally whispered, "just stop." I glared at her.

"Like I said at the start, conflict isn't necessary." I stared at Armin lying still as Mikasa kneeled next to him. "At least not if you tell us where Zeke is. So just come along quietly. Take em'." I said to the armed Jaegerists. They nodded. "And bring the kid who killed Sasha too."
