Plan Gone Wrong

Jason actually wished he could have been wrong this time around... of course when has it ever been that easy for anyone part of the Bat Family again? This is not what he expected would happen though, he would have thought there'd be more rampage like Hulk level...

The roof exploded from the impact made by the Rogue Titan's fist as the trio moved out of the way, Mikasa barely moving in time as she gained a small cut on her cheek and hit the side of a chimney

Mikasa was able to regain her composure quickly as she used her ODM gear to grab a long piece of the Titan's hair to hang in place. Jason gave her points for courage as he and Tim stood off to the side with blades ready for anything that may happen. Friend or not, they were both trained by Batman to be prepared for anything

"Hey! Stop, Ackerman! Get away from him!"

"Eren! Don't you recognize me?!" Mikasa yelled out in a desperate tone, ignoring the order given to her "It's me, Mikasa!" she said as the Titan glared, making her try to continue and reach him "Your family! You have to seal the hole with that rock!"

At this point, Tim noticed as Rico had grabbed a red flare capsule before firing it into the air. Tim felt that he wouldn't have done that after one setback. He's had so many of his own missions take a turn for the worse, but he always finds a way around them to get back on track. No way is he going to allow this mission to be a failure and he knows Jason doesn't plan on backing down either

"Eren! You're human! You're-" Mikasa was still screaming, but didn't seem to notice the way the Titan was clenching his fists. However someone else did as she heard Jason telling her to watch out. This in turn allowed Mikasa to jump away as she winced at seeing Eren slash himself with his own fist

Jason didn't know what to make of that. Had Eren done that on purpose or did he want to attack Mikasa? He knows the two have a complicated relationship, but didn't for one second think that he'd ever attack his best friend... cough girlfriend cough. Heck, Eren would be horrified if he were to find out he almost tried to kill her... that scratch on her cheek being a souvenir of his rampage was sure to get a reaction from him once this was over

"What the hell? He's just a regular dumb Titan!" Mitabi says making Tim give him a glance before turning back to Eren, his eyes narrowing in deep thought

"Eren!"

"Captain Ian! Two Titans approaching from ahead! A 10-meter and a 6-meter!" called out a solider from a nearby roof

"A 12-meter closing in from the rear!" another shouted soon after

"Ian! We have to withdraw. There's no way that kid's sealing up a hole in his current state!" Mitabi says as Rico adds in telling him they have no choice but to leave Eren behind

At hearing that, Mikasa threw them both a glare. Jason mentally commented how they would have been turned into a pile of ash should she have had the ability to melt them with one look and had to hold back a smirk at seeing how Ian caught her glare only to look away. Oh she would have gotten the Bat glare down easily

"What are you doing? Make the call! Ian, this isn't your fault! The whole mission was a long shot to begin with! We all understood! It was worth a shot and we did the best we could! So our teams are going back up the wall now!" Mitabi says and Jason really did not like this guy, he was basically saying 'Let's abandon Eren!'

Of course Mikasa was not happy with that comment. She looked ready to attack the guy and Jason would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted to join in

"Wait!" Ian steps in between, blocking her "Wait. Calm down Ackerman, same for you Todd" he tells them both as Tim is crouching down near the edge of the rooftop, ignored by the others "Rico team, take out the 12-meter one in the rear! Mitabi team and my team will deal with the two ahead!"
