(Levi's POV)

We spent one day checking that we had everything we needed before we finally left. I wasn't allowed to do much. Hanji and Eren would stop me if I tried to help them and say that I needed to relax because I had been really sick. I had been really sick, but that is past tense. Now I want to make sure that neither of these idiots forget anything. Even though I trust Eren, I know that he forgets things and I really don't want to be in the middle of freezing Canada and find out that someone forgot to pack blankets so we all freeze to death. Hanji however, she is a complete idiot when it comes to anything other than microscopes and all that other science stuff she does.

"Hey Levi, how do you feel? Are you ready for tomorrow?" Eren asked me, cuddling up next to me since I have been stuck laying in bed for an hour already.

"Yeah, I can't wait to finally be able to do something." I sounded annoyed because I really was annoyed with how I have been treated. Since I had gotten the cure and have been cleared of the virus both Eren and Hanji treat me as though I am going to die if I do the smallest task.

"Levi, Hanji and I just wanted to make sure that you had time to get healthy before we left. It would be pretty difficult to make such a long trip if the survivalist of our group is sick." Eren gave me a small kiss on the cheek and it made it almost impossible for me to stay mad.

"Just be sure to get enough sleep." I said before turning onto my side to get ready to go to sleep.

"Goodnight Levi."

"No one is forgetting anything, right?" I asked looking between Eren and Hanji. Eren looked nervous, but Hanji was almost jumping in place with impatience.

"Yeah, we are ready. Let's go!" Hanji ran out of the doorway leading out of the building. "Follow me, I know where to find a car." I looked to Eren before chasing after our hyper active 'leader'. She was running to the back of the building; someplace we have never been. Surprisingly, there weren't any zombies in sight. I hope that our whole trip will be like this. "Ah here it is!" Hanji had run around a corner and I couldn't see what she was talking about. "Levi do you know how to drive a truck?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" When I turned the corner Hanji was already trying to start up a truck. It was a delivery truck. Much larger than I would like for transport, but I guess we could get another vehicle some other time.

"Is there even enough room for us to all sit up front?" Eren asked when he caught up to me.

"If there isn't we can always shove you into the back." I teased.

"You would never do that to me!" Eren started whining. I started getting into the truck with Eren right behind me. I hadn't realized my mistake until it was almost too late; Hanji was in the drivers seat.

"Hanji move over. I am driving." I told her.

"Yay that means I can sit next to Eren! Won't you be jealous though?"

"Be jealous of you? I don't think so." I said while moving into the driver's seat and starting up the truck.

"Levi you don't need to be so mean." Eren whined. I was too busy trying to drive through the debris covered streets to respond to Eren.

We had made it out of the city a long time ago. Even though I hated the truck a lot it did come in handy when we ran into zombies. I was able to run them over like small speed bumps. Eren and Hanji were looking around to see if they could find any signs of others, but they hadn't seen anything for hours.

"Hey, what's that?" Eren asked pointing out of the window. There was a group of zombies around a small house. Someone might be trapped in that house.

"Levi pull over. Someone has to be in there." Hanji said. I grabbed the machete Eren had gotten for me, but I knew that even all of us with machetes wouldn't be able to kill all of those zombies. Which gave me an idea. I am going to use the truck.

"You might want to hold onto something." I told the passengers who were going to be forced to join in on my plan.

"YAY!! Go Levi!" Hanji started shouting. She knew what I was planning.

"Levi what are you going to do?" Eren asked concerned. Instead of telling him what I was going to do I just did it. Hanji seemed as though she was going to die of excitement, and Eren didn't seem as happy about my plan as Hanji was. Using the truck, I was able to take down most of the zombies around the house, but the ones I had missed were running for the truck.

"Get ready to go." I waited for everyone to grab their weapons before I opened the door to the truck. I jumped out of the truck just before the first of the zombies had reached it.

It didn't take long for us to take care of the rest of them. Now we had to find whoever was locked up in that house. Hanji was the first one to reach the house and she was banging on the door yelling for whoever was in the house that the zombies are gone and we need to talk to them. I don't think that Hanji is a good spokesperson so I walked up behind her and waited for whoever was in there to open the door.

"Levi do you think they are okay?" Eren asked me once he was standing next to me.

"I hope they are. I just hope that Hanji doesn't scare them away." Eren let out a small laugh, and Hanji must have heard me because she started to calm down and stopped yelling. The door opened up a small way.

"Thank you for getting rid of those, but you should just leave us." The voice coming from behind the door sounded familiar but I couldn't put a name to the voice.

"Marco?! Is that you?" Eren shouted. That's why the voice sounded familiar. It's Marco. The door finally opened all the way, and Marco was standing there staring at us. Completely ignoring the crazy person checking him and making sure he didn't have any bits. I wish I was that good at ignoring her.

"E-Eren? You're okay, how?"

"Long story short Eren is immune to the virus. We have made the cure and vaccine for the virus as well. I suggest that you get a shot." I plainly state.

"Is Jean here?" Eren asked.

"Yes, but he was bitten not to long ago." Marco responded.

"Oh that's my cue." Hanji said and started running back to the truck to grab the cure for Jean.

"Could we see him?" I asked. Not that I really wanted to see someone going through what I had. Marco motioned us in and lead us to where Jean was. Jean was sitting in a corner of the kitchen of the house. He looked pretty good for his situation. He mustn't have gotten bit too long ago.

"Marco I think I am losing it. I am seeing dead people." Jean must have been talking about Eren.

"Actually, I thought the same thing when I saw Eren, but he is really okay." Marco told Jean. I could hear that Jean had mumbled something along the lines of 'that sucks'.

"You might want to be a little nicer since he is going to be the reason you live through this." I told him sternly.

"There is no way I can make it through this. I have been bitten so I am going to either become one of those things or die." Jean responded.

"We have the cure." Eren stepped forward. "So even if you don't want to you are going to make it through this." Before Eren and Jean could begin bickering, Hanji ran into the room and ran right up to Jean and stabbed him with a syringe like she did to me. She then turned to Marco and was about to do the same to him when Eren stopped her. "Let me do that please." He took the syringe and gave Marco the shot, being more careful than Hanji would ever be.

"We should start moving again. If there are anymore zombies around here they will be here soon." I said. Marco helped Jean up.

"Can we go with you?" Marco asked. Jean looked like the wanted to argue against that, but no matter how stubborn he is; he knew that it is better to be in big groups.

"Of course." Eren and Hanji said in unison.
