Fable sits in a chair and warehouse with a man groping her.
           "Oh so nice. Let me hear how much you like it," the man says as his hands start roaming his body, "well how's that? Feels good doesn't it? I'm trying to hear that sweet voice."
          If Fable opens her mouth it's going to be throw up. Where the heck was Levi she thought closing her eyes.
          "How's everything going on in there?" Levi asks as Mikasa joins him on the roof.
            "If we wait too much longer they'll start to see through the disguise," Mikasa says looking away, "Fable is getting pawed at."
              "I see," he says knowing damn well she's going to be pissed at him when she gets out.
                "How's your leg?" Mikasa asks looking at him.
               "Well enough," Levi says looking down, "did you notice these kidnappers are obviously ranked amateurs? Why wouldn't they use professionals for a job like this? You can handle this on your own. I'm going to make my way to Eren meet-up after you get done taking out the trash."
                 Fable remains tied up in the chair. She looks up hearing the door open and watches four men walk in. Next thing she knows Mikasa comes flying in throwing a couple of men. Fable quickly untied herself to help. She kicks the man who was feeling her up.
                "You sick bastard," she says punching him, and then Jean comes over to tie the guys up.
                "We secure these guys and then meet up with the Captain," Mikasa says getting up.
                Fable sighs looking at everyone. "Which way did he go Mikasa?" she asks looking at her.
                 "But he said," the girl says looking at him.
                "I don't care what he said which way did he go," Fable says once again.
                 She watches as Mikasa points in a direction. Fable immediately takes off to find Levi.
                "They totally have a thing," Jean says looking at everyone, "Captain Levi isn't going to punishment for this just you watch."
                    "Jean so what if they are or aren't it's not our business," Sasha says looking at him, "and besides she's probably pissed that he was so willing to let another guy you know."
                     Fable uses her ODM gear to catch up to Levi and Eren. She lands next to Levi and Nifa.
                    "I told you to stay back," he says looking at her.
                     "Actually you told me nothing," she says watching the wagon with the two kids in it. 
                       Levi glares at her and says, "We'll talk about this later."
                      Fable rolls her eyes as she listens to Nifa talk to Levi.
                         "How's the body double mission?" she asks looking at the wagon.
                        "As you can see it worked out great," he says glancing at the blonde next to her.
                       "You don't seem very pleased," she says looking back at Levi.
                      "I'm not," he says looking away.
                        Fable looks at him.
                        "Looks like the wagon is about ready to move again," Nifa says.
                       "Nifa you know Kenny the Ripper?" Levi asks her looking at the ground.
                      "The mass murder in the capital who slit throats of hundreds of MPs," she responds looking at, "I always thought he was an urban legend."
                      "Well it's true he's a legend alright," Levi says still looking at the wagon, "I lived with him as a kid."
                        Fable looks at him confused realizing she knows nothing about his childhood or anything. She looks at Nifa whose face was turning red.
                       "Yeah right stop making jokes," Nifa says causing Fable to glare at her.
                       Next thing she knows Levi quickly ducks covering Fable. "Nifa!!" he yells to her. The two watch as Nifa gets shot.
                    Levi quickly takes Fable's hand and drags her over to behind the cement post. They both look over at Nifa who was clearly dead.
                 "Long time Levi," she hears a voice say from behind them, "I was wondering if you grew some."
                Fable feels Levi bring her closer to his body. Suddenly they were surrounded by not MPs. Then she hears ODM going off and the man was now in front of them. Levi immediately throws the girl behind him. He throws a blade at the man.
                "Fable get out of here," he says looking at her.
                She didn't question him one bit. Once he threw his cloak in the air she takes off. She jumps off the roof using her ODM gear. Fable flies away from the scene getting followed by a couple of people. She dodges the gunshots trying to get away.
                Levi manages to escape into a pub. "Captain Levi," the owner says from behind the bar.
                Levi gets up wiping blood off his eye. He hears Kenny coming and he immediately goes behind the bar.
               "Oh come on you here or not," he hears Kenny say.
               "Right here Kenny been awhile," Levi responds, "I really thought you'd be dead by now with all the MPs you were butchering but now you're great friends."
                Levi listens to Kenny call him out for his size and then he says, "Oh way I see you got yourself a little lady friend that blonde you were protecting. How generous of you. What's her name?"
                   "What's it to you you're not going to get anywhere near her," Levi says.
                    "Oh no I wouldn't dare," Kenny responds, "I was just hoping to see you in action one day. I can't say I'm disappointed. You still remember everything trick I taught you, but didn't I tell you what happens to a cornered rat? Cause if I had you'd know where you to run you'd find a bullet waiting. Hey Levi."
                  He hears then a chair getting thrown at the wine display causing some of the bottles to shatter and then continues to listen to Kenny talk.
                "Oh I see that's why you blew off my people's heads then 'cause it's fulfilling," Levi utters moving a bottle around to see Kenny's reflection.
               Fable flies around Trost using her blades to cut through a couple of bodies. Then she meets up with Levi and the others. She flies next to the squad as Levi gave them the rundown.
               "Shit Armin Jean!!" He yells swinging down to take them off the wagon.
                Fable watches as the enemies take over She flies down the ground as Levi stops Mikasa from running after them.
                  The six of them manage to make it to the warehouse. Levi hasn't spoken or looked at Fable since the earlier. Levi looks at the four soldiers sitting on the crates.
              "What's wrong did all this filth destroy your appetite?" Levi asks looking at Armin.
                "No Jean there's something I don't understand," Armin says
                "What's that?" Jean asks looking at him.
                "When I turned around to save you the woman already had a gun to your head. How could I have shot before she did?" Armin asks
               "You shot first because she hesitated,"  Levi says.
               She listens to him talk to Armin.
                   "Armin all our comrades survived because you got blood on your hands," Levi says to him, "thank you."
                  "Captain Levi I thought it was wrong for us to fight against other humans," Jean utters looking at the ground, "I thought it was wrong you ordered us to fight them I mean we became soldiers to protect people, but now I know I was in the wrong."
                "I never said what was right and wrong. My moral high ground got shot to hell I don't know what's right anymore," Levi says standing up, "now I got to teach someone about how to follow orders." 
                 Fable looks at Levi and sighs standing up off the ground. She follows him to a back corner. She looks at the ground feeling him staring at her.
               "What the hell you're thinking?" Levi asks glaring at her, "You're lucky Nafi was the only person shot back there."
                 Fable frowns at the ground feeling her eyes fill up with tears.
                   "You've been on my squad for how many years and now you decide to disobey me," he says looking at her.
                   She wipes her tears with her hands.
                    "Fable fucking talk to me," he says, "I wouldn't know.."
                    "What you'd do if you lost me I know," she finally speaks up looking at him, "but you were completely okay with me getting felt up with some man. You have no idea how fucking scared I was. I was expecting to see you when I got out of there, but no you left me."
                     Levi searches her face and says, "There's something you're not telling me."
                    Fable looks at him and says, "I did this for you, Historia, and Eren. It doesn't matter either way I would've done it, and I wouldn't want Armin to go through that."
                      He looks at the guy sitting on the ground at the other end of the warehouse. She sighs looking at him and then wraps her arms around his neck.
                   "I'm sorry for disobeying you Captain," she says gently against his ear before burying her face into his neck, "I just needed you."
                    Levi sighs wrapping his arms around her waist tightly. "I'm the only man who touches you like that," he whispers before kissing her cheek.
                  "Also Levi I wanna know about your childhood," she says smiling softly, "obviously not now but eventually when you're ready."
                    He looks at her and frowns softly. "You don't wanna hear that," he says.
                    "Levi I just found out that you used to live with a mass murderer," she says looking at him, "it's okay I won't love you any less than what I do now. I got you." She kisses his cheek and smiles.
                  Fable looks over to see a couple of the kids watching them. "Levi," she says softly
                   "Hmm," he says.
                   "We have an audience," she says smiling.
                "Well that's perfect timing we gotta get our friend to speak," he says taking her hand and walking back to the group, "and this stays in the squad understand me."
Levi looks at everyone before letting go of her hand and heading over to the man tied up. He slides the cloth around the man's mouth.
"Please have mercy," the guy says looking up at Levi, "I'm just an old man who helps them move cargo I didn't want..."
Fable rolls her eyes walking over to them and standing next to Levi. "Seemed like you wanted to few hours ago you had your fun so now you better comply or I'm going to do far worse to you than what you did to me."
Levi looks over at her with a shocked expression.
"Who are and what have done with Fable?" she hears Jean ask behind them.
Then she hears Mikasa next to her, "I've seen this man before. He seemed to be a merchant."
"Yeah, I know him," Levi responds, "Dimo Reeves right?"
Fable looks at both of them confused because she's the only one who hasn't seen this man before today.
"This damn job was forced on us by the military police and now that we botched it they'll come for the Reeves company and everything it's worth," the man says looking away.
Before Fable could speak Levi does saying, "So you're just gonna lay down and take it there's a reason why Trost recovered from that Titan attack. It's largely because of money from the Reeves company tell me if your company dies how many people will survive this coming winter?"
"So what you want me to join you?" the man asks
"We just need to know where Eren and Historia are if you're in contact with the MPs I think I have a plan," Levi utters looking at him
"Then can you give me your word so the that people of Trost won't end up starving to death," he says looking at Levi.
Levi kneels in front of him and says, "I can't guarantee it that said you'll have a better chance with us than not."
The man sighs. "Alright I'm in," he utters looking at them.
"Oh man I wanted to give him what he deserved I wanted to do earlier," Fable says frowning a little bit, "you got lucky old man."
Levi pulls the girl away from him and says, "If he doesn't follow through then he's all yours."
She looks at him and says, "he was scared of me wasn't he?"
Levi looks at her and says, "Yeah so bad he almost shit his pants.
"Oh good I thought I was going to have to bring out the big guns," she says showing him the guns she took from the guys she killed earlier, "literally."
"Fable how the fuck do have those," he says looking at them.
"Simple I killed several men today and I think I've learned is that you kill a man that has a gun you take it," she says smiling at him, "though they didn't leave me much to work them."
Levi pats her head gently and says, "You're an idiot."
"That's a weird way to say genius but I'll take it," she says giggling, "when are we heading out?"
"Here in a little bit," he says looking at her, "you doing okay?"
Fable nods looking at him and says, "Yeah I'm alright, why?"
Levi shakes his head saying, "No reason."
She smiles at him kissing his cheek softly walking away to help load up the wagon.
