~~~~~At the base, we join Levi and his squad~~~~~

The cold, grey eyes of Humanity's Strongest Soldier gazed at what was left of their squad. Levi's squad was currently sitting at a table after their morning meal and staring at their captain who had stood up from his chair and cleared his throat before speaking.

"We are going on another expedition soon," Eren flinched at the words that were uttered so coldly from his superiors mouth. Were they going to perform more experiments on him? He shuddered at the thought of Hanji's gleaming stare and her collection of experimental instruments. Levi noticed Eren's unsettled reaction and turned to him.

"Calm down Jaeger, this isn't all about you," Levi spoke simply before turning back to the entire squad. Eren calmed down a fraction, though he was still bothered. During the last expedition, he had lost his dear friend Christa, and by whatever was up there controlling this world, he was not going to lose another friend even if it meant transforming into his Titan body! At this point, he felt that there was nothing more to lose. The loss of Christa fuelled his desire to destroy that of what he is.

"Why? Didn't we go beyond the wall last week?" Armin asked.

"It is a search and rescue mission your comrade, Lenz," Levi glanced at Eren briefly to see his emerald eyes light up at his words and his body tensing more than it already was. Levi smirked as he was about to say the next objective.

"We are also going to capture the intellient Titan," everyone whispered to each other at their new objective.

"Wait, so we're going to catch the (hair_colour) headed bitch that escaped us last time?" Jean asked, a little too loudly for Levi's liking. Levi rolled his eyes and nodded.

"Why do we have to catch her? Tch, it's like you want us to get killed!" Jean complained before receiving a hand to the back of his head.

"Don't be so negative towards the squad leader, Jean," Sasha scolded him, earning a pout from the grumpy horse-faced man.

"So captain, when are we leaving?" Mikasa asked Levi. Levi ran a small, pale hand through his hair before answering her question.

"In three days. I would like you to use this time to train and rest, we must be in top condition for capturing this particular aberrant Titan and rescuing your comrade," Levi spoke with determination in his voice. Without another word, he dismissed his squad for the day.

Sasha and Conny decided to spar in the field, Jean, Armin and Eren practiced their nape cutting skills on the fake Titans and Mikasa lifted a few dumbbells nearby the sparring teens. Levi had retreated to his office and began reading the files that Hanji's assistant, Moblit, wrote which contained information about you.

CLASSIFIED: TITAN REPORT, NICKNAMED 'GIANT WOMAN'

Titan: ABERRANT
Gender: F (according to our general assumptions and human-like traits she possesses).
Class: 14m.
Hair colour: (hair_colour), (hair_length).
Eye colour: Red and (eye_colour), the (eye_colour) eye changes to red when angered.
Skin: Transparent (possibly linked to the first female Titan).
Intelligence: Very High, to be approached with caution. This may allow it to evade us with ease.
Traits: Able to harden skin with (favourite_colour) crystals, strangely human-like, similar to Annie Leonhardt's Titan form but does not seem to be a shifter as she was found living wild like a normal titan.
Notes: It will not attack humans but was hostile towards Eren during the expedition on the 24th of February. She did not attack Squad Leader Hanji when she touched her bottom lip.

Below the information was a basic sketch of your form. Levi studied your feminine appearance, noting where your weak points would be and trying to calculate where your blind spots were. It was vital to Levi that he took extra care in his next encounter with you as his encounter with the first female Titan was not as successful as he'd hoped. This time, he knew he wouldn't lose to another Titan. His previously injured ankle twitched at the thought of his last battle.

Levi closed the file and took a sip of his tea. He looked out the window and spotted a few birds flying in the distance. The only thing he could think of was how familiar you looked.

It had been quite a long time since he saw the same red and (eye_colour) eyes of a (Last_name)......

~~~~~Back to you~~~~~

After you and Christa had calmed down from the Titan incident, you decided to make it up to her for scaring her. You knew what Christa wanted, she wanted to be with her friends again. Before you would take her back on your tall shoulder, you wanted to show her something amazing.

"Alright (Name), where are we going?" Christa asked you. She was sitting on your shoulder and holding a few strands of you (hair_length) hair. You looked at the sun behind you, it was in the direction of the human walls.

You then looked straight ahead, there were no trees at all, just a huge expanse of soft green grass and a few flowers here and there. Your hair gently flowed against your cheeks and the sun was on your back. You inhaled the sweet wind and puffed out your chest. You felt so empowered for some reason, confidence radiated from your very bones and dispersed themselves in invisible waves.

"Seriously (Name), can't you tell me?" The blonde human looked up at you curiously. You looked at her and smiled with a feminine Titan giggle. You gestured for her to hold on to your hair tightly. She nodded and braced herself for whatever happened next.

You broke out into a sprint making Christa yelp and hold on tighter. Thundering footsteps were heard by all creatures close by while the ground shook. Your hair covered your eyes as you ran but you still knew where you were going.

After Christa had adjusted to riding on your shoulder, her grip loosened on your hair and she started to enjoy the sight before her. It looked so peaceful and warm despite him moving as such a fast pace. The colours blurred in her vision, creating separate streams of colours like paintbrush strokes. You didn't tire, you had no fatigue. Pure adrenaline rushed through your hot veins as you sped up. The small blonde grinned like a child in a toy shop.

As rocky terrain came into your sight, you slowed to a jog. Christa was panting from the adrenaline of going so fast as she leaned against your neck and enjoyed the rest of the ride in peace. A smile grew upon your face when you see the strange rocks atop each other. Christa let out a small gasp of wonder when she sees two red boulders in the shape of a table. The rocks were as tall as you!

"(Name), this is an incredible sight to see. I've never seen anything like this, even in Armin's books! You should climb atop the table, an extra high view from atop your head would be amazing!" Christa spoke to you with stars in those big doe eyes of hers. You gently held her and placed her atop your head before climbing atop the 'table', as she called it. You looked out at the view before you. You could see past your forest! You saw dozens of titans aimlessly roaming the fields of green and disappear long into your forest.

Suddenly, as you gazed hard past your forest, you spot a distant grey structure. That was the wall that was created so long ago to keep the humans safe. Your eyes softened as you realised that it would not be long before Christa would be with her friends and you would be alone again. It would be sad ending, but nevertheless you smiled as it had happened in the first place. You and Christa spent the night atop the table. You fell asleep with your human, happily dreaming about you and your best friend going on impossible adventures. What a beautiful idea.

Unbeknownst to you, the sky flickered with colour just for the two of you. Christa the Human and (Name) the Titan, the most unlikely friendship in the whole world....
