Chapter 3: Military Property

(WARNING: Mild language)

"Wait till I get my hands on that short ass Captain." Mikasa muttered maliciously.

The court hearing was just held. Thankfully they did not choose to execute Eren, but Mikasa had to stand idly by to watch her best friend, love of her life, and only family crushed underneath the cruel foot of Captain Levi Ackerman. She assumed she knew why he would do such a thing.

"He only beat Eren to win the favor of the Court, Mikasa. Let it go. Without him we would have lost Eren." Armin spouted logic that was wasted on her.

"Its not the same, Armin. He probably did it because he thought Eren was getting in the way of my focus of killing Titans." Mikasa retorted.

"No Mikasa! He would never do that. Don't You remember? He stepped in front of the rifle to save him!" Armin said back. "He basically caught a bullet for Eren."

"And then proceeded to beat the living s-"

"MIKASA!"

"Fine, whatever Armin." Mikasa sighed. "I'm going to see If I can visit Eren to see how he is doing."

"Yeah, I'll go with you."

Mikasa and Armin walked towards the stairs. They weren't even allowed to go down to the dungeons after Eren was moved from the Med Bay to the jail cell. They weren't sure how it was going to go.

As soon as they reached the door, they saw a note written in the pristine neat handwriting of Levi Ackerman himself.

Hey Brats,

If you want to see Eren because you think he's in a world of pain, he's fine. I took him to my squads HQ to have inspected by Hanji. She seems to think that the tooth I kicked out of him Grew back. If you want to see him, you can come talk to me about when.

Cpt. Ackerman

"That 'Captain' has got him so that he can't be on his own free will, it seems." Armin said, stating the obvious.

"Well, he's military property now. We might be able to see him once and a while." Mikasa

"Maybe so." Armin said sagely.

The rest of the day Mikasa worked on her training. She worked out, shadow boxed, and practiced her 3DMG. She also spent some time helping the quartermasters move around their gear and tents. Armin helped her memorize her formations and oil her gear. She kept thinking back to when she was with Eren in the med bay, playing the scene over and over in her head, like some kind of dream that she really wanted to remember.

'Did he mean it all? There's no way I was just making up all that stuff in my head.' Mikasa thought. His eyes were so gentle, so careful as if he was afraid of breaking me. 'He treated me like a deer in the wild. Almost as if he was afraid that I might be scared off at the slightest movement.'

Her thoughts were interrupted when Hanji appeared out of nowhere, and bumped into her.

"WAIT! Don't tell me..." Hanji began. "You're Mikasa right?"

"Yes, what is it to you?"

"I'm Hanji! Its so nice to meet you. You are Eren's sister correct?"

"Adopted sister. What do you want?"

"I would like you're help with some EXPERIMENTS" Hanji said with glee.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you see, I'm spearheading the research team on Eren's Titan form, so I need you to help me convince him to do some...erm... uncomfortable things."
