Beyond These Walls (Levi x Reader)

Sweet Revenge

Your P.O.V

"Hasn't the Corporal been acting strange lately?" Hanji questions and launches into mindless banter. I disregard her comments and focus on the object within my grasp. I fiddle with the aluminum pieces and slide the right switches into place. All the while, a sinister grin is plastered across my scheming face. A devious aura surrounds me. I twist the last screw into place and attach the adjoining canister, proudly displaying my hard work to a baffled Hanji.

"It's finished!" I squeal and Hanji lifts her goggles to get a more intricate look.

"What is it?" She questions and I reply rapidly.

"An explosive! Want to go test it out?" But, I don't give her time to answer. I grab her by the wrist and drag her out into the open field. Eren, Armin, Jean and Mikasa notice our entrance and make their way towards us.

"What are you up to?" Eren questions and I face him with a devilish grin.

"We are testing out an explosive I made!" Eren and Jean take a step back in horror. Mikasa remains un-phased by my antics and Armin moves closer with intent looming in his innocent eyes. "The canisters used for the 3DMG contain pressurized gas, when exposed to extreme pressure or heat they explode! I call it a Pressure Activated Detonation Device or PADD for short. When a titan steps on a larger one of these bad boys it will blow its entire leg off!" The others remain speechless and I hurry out to the center of the field where I place the device. Once I have reached a suitable distance I cock my arm, aim, and fire a medium sized boulder. It lands directly on top of the explosive and the field erupts in a flash of yellow and orange. A grey haze looms over the field.

"Holy shit." Jean and Eren mutter in unison. "That was awesome!" They sprint up to me and bombard me with a flurry of questions. Mikasa and Hanji stand unmoving, dumbfounded by the commotion. Armin looks at me questioningly and proceeds to retort.

"If we were able to launch one of these in the titans mouth, the bite pressure would detonate it. There is the possibility it could wipe out the nape in the process." I look to him with my eyes wide in admiration. I run up and embrace him in a violent hug.

"I like the way you think Cadet!"

Levi's P.O.V

Erwin and I sit across the table from one another, our gazes menacing. Erwin leans back and brings his hand to his forehead, laughing hysterically. I bring my cup of tea close to my lips and prepare to take a sip. My unimpressed demeanor remains firm. "I heard about your little joke on Cadet (l/n) from Hanji. What on Earth was that about?" He chuckles and I rest my cup on its complimenting saucer.

"I ordered her to remove her cloak or she would go without dinner. When I entered the Mess Hall I saw Cadet Yaeger and Cadet Kirstein shamelessly placing their filthy paws all over Cadet (l/n). Not to mention, all of the other Cadets were fawning. It disgusted me and triggered this uncontrollable feeling of rage in my chest. It was a feeling I had never felt before and I was undeniably irritated. So, I proceeded to punish her justly for it." I watch as Erwin stifles a giggle and I raise my eyebrow out of misunderstanding. He begins to speak between sobs of laughter.

"Unfortunately Corporal, you will have to understand that feeling for yourself. You should figure it out sooner or late." He grins at me condescendingly and narrows his eyebrows. A loud piercing crash interrupts our banter and a bright yellow light floods the room. I rush to the window and observe a cloud of black smoke. The ground sparks with flame. Expecting the worst, I sprint from the room and out into the field.
