115

Everyone stood completely still, staggered breathing filling the air as they watched the figure limp closer.
His body was shaking and soaked to the bone, sea water dripping rhythmically on the paved dock. The sound of his foot dragging the ground behind him, the limb seemingly completely dead as he dragged it behind him.

"Flock...?" Someone whispered in disbelief.

No one was able to fully believe what was happening until the red headed man stopped in the entrance of the warehouse, his breathing haggard with effort.
He stood still for what felt like minutes, before he raised his gun.

"GET DOWN!" Mikasa yelled as everyone dropped to the ground.

Y/n could feel the wind being knocked out of her lungs as she was pushed to the concrete, a barrage of bullets clanging loudly against metal.

She watched as Mikasa jumped from pinning her to the ground, to launching the hooks of her ODM gear into Floch's body, using the gear to meet him half way as she slit his throat, tossing his body to the side.

"There's holes in the gas tank!" The engineers hollered, the remaining of the few trying desperately to plug the holes with their hands, the putrid fuel spilling out through their fingers.

"Shit!"

Most people rushed forward, grabbing the soldering gear and desperately trying to fix the aircraft.

"Sorry for pushing you." Mikasa said quietly, gathering Y/n's crutches which had been scattered when Mikasa tossed her to the floor.
"I didn't think you'd get down in time.."

Y/n smiled as Mikasa helped her to her feet, giving over the crutches to help her stand by herself.

"Don't apologise!" She gently hit Mikasa with a crutch. "If you hadn't pushed me I probably would have been pumped full of lead..again.."

Mikasa laughed slightly in return, rubbing her arm as her ears turned slightly red.
Y/n glanced out to the door of the warehouse where Levi was standing, looking as though he had seen a ghost.

Grinning, y/n waved at him in assurance that she was all good, making his shoulders relax slightly as he watched her from a distance.
He was about to step forward, attempting to make his way over to her despite the severe pain in his entire body but was halted by the vibrations in the ground.

Metal began to clang inside the warehouse, tools hanging on the walls clattering loudly against the metal.
Panicked, everyone glanced around at each other, Mikasa helping to steady Y/n who had suddenly began to lose balance.
The clattering continued and the rumbling beneath their feet became impossible to ignore.

"They're almost on top of us!" Jean yelled, peering around the door. "How long is this gonna take!?"

"TEN MINUTES! FIVE IF WE BALLS TO WALLS IT!" Connie hollered back, crudely repeating the engineers words.

"DAMMIT WE DONT HAVE FIVE MINUTES."

Y/n and Mikasa glanced at each other, panicking finally setting in.

"Surely this was what was worrying me..." y/n thought to herself, yet the pit in her stomach still remained.

As her and Mikasa looked at each other, y/n opened her mouth to speak, but something nudging her lower back pushed her forward a little bit.

"Hey!" She hissed, turning back to see Hange, who hid her hand behind her back.
"Oh, hange. Why'd you push me?" Relief filled her voice as she spoke.
