The group was back inside, watching as Furlan wrapped the injured wings of the bird.

"You're good at that! Oh, what's your name? Mine's Isabel!" The girl exclaimed, finally telling the others her name.

"Furlan. And he's Levi. This little joy is Levi's daughter, Sakura." Furlan introduced the three.

"Furlan, little Sakura... and Bro Levi, huh?"

"I'm not that little!" Sakura pouted from her spot on Furlan's lap.

"Oh, you're not?" Furlan questioned, rubbing her hair.

"Uncle Furlan!" Sakura giggled, "I'm not!"

Levi watched the two with a small smile before his eyes flicked over to Isabel. "Bro?" He questioned.

"Hey, please! Let me join you! You're the ones who use ODM gear, right? I've seen you! I've always been envious. You can fly around like birds! I wanna do that, too!"

"Well?" Furlan questioned.

Levi stood up, picking up Sakura from Furlan's lap.

"Please!" Isabel tried again before Levi could leave.

Levi looked between his daughter's pleading eyes that he could never resist, and Isabel's hopeful look.

"If you wanna stay, learn how to clean before you learn ODM gear." Levi finally answered before walking out the door.

"Huh? What?! Thank you, Bro!"

"Levi, we're good to go." Furlan announced as the three put on their ODM gear.

Levi nodded before kneeling down in front of Sakura.

"Whatever you do, stick with Isabel. She'll take care of you."

Sakura nodded, not knowing the full extent of what was happening, only that her father was serious.

"Come here! Your big sister will take care of you!" Isabel smiled as she picked up the younger girl, rubbing her hair slightly, making Sakura giggle in response.

"I have confirmation that Yan's in one of the best hospitals." Furlan spoke up as the three started off. "The guy in the carriage is legit, too. The job's the real deal. Are we doing it, Levi?"

The three rounded a corner with no answer.

"Bro?" Isabel asked.

"Pretend like nothing is changed. But if that beardy is right and  'they' come... we start the job." Levi finally answered, jumping down a wall.

The moment Isabel had jumped down the wall, Levi helped her get Sakura secured on her back.

"Let's go."

Moments after the words were spoken, the four were in the air, soaring above the buildings in the underground.

"Woo-hoo!" Isabel exclaimed in excitement, smiling as she heard the younger girl on her back squeal in delight.

Furlan placed his eyes on the two girls before going back to the male in front. "Levi! We've got company!"

Levi turned his head, scoffing slightly as he saw the Military Police chasing after them.

"Hmph! The Military Police, huh? They never learn!" Isabel commented, turning her head to look at the people chasing them. "Bro Levi! Was that a cool line or what?!"

"You moron." Levi answered, causing Isabel's eyes to glare slightly.

"Their movements...! It's not the MPs!" Furlan commented as Levi rounded the corner, spinning, pushing back off a wall, and heading the other way. The entire time, two men wearing green capes following close behind.
