(Levi x Petra) Shock

Chapter Five: The Meeting

Author's Note: I know. I'm lame at chapter titles. But forget about that. Here comes Chapter 5 for you. Oh, and another thing. Remember that I do not, DO NOT, ship Eren x Mikasa. Happy reading!

It took Levi nearly every single bit of his will-power to simply try not to strangle Hange for waking him up. He could feel his eyes about to bulge out of his sockets if he didn't throttle Four-Eyes anytime soon. But he had to keep calm, for he knew it would get him in more trouble than being a war prisoner inside of Marley if he simply slapped Hange across her Titan-lover face. He tried to get his mind off of the fact that Four-Eyes woke him up from such a beautiful dream, but as soon as he did, his mind wandered to Petra. Sweet, beautiful Petra. Whoever or whatever ran the universe had given him another chance. It had given Petra back to him. Well, it was going to anyway, once Levi found her. He didn't know how he would do it, but he would find Petra somehow. How did he know? Because... the Captain of the Survey Corps had hope. Yes, the heartless, emotionless, blank Levi Ackerman had hope. 

Levi had tried not to look so dreamy-eyed (yes, dreamy-eyed) when Hange escorted him to the meeting room, where, you guessed it, meetings for about anything were held. He couldn't stop thinking about how he had been given another chance, about how Petra was alive. However, other things also flooded his mind. Did Petra still love him? Did she even think about him? Is she in a relationship with someone else? Levi would break something if he somehow found out that Petra was in a relationship, or worse, engaged or married, to one of the other original Squad Levi member. Even worse, what if she was in love with, engaged, or married to a Marleyan!!??

Eventually, Levi had to abandon his thoughts in order to focus on the meeting. Inside the meeting area, sitting at the table, were many people, including the Yeager brat, Eren, and his mollycoddling sister, Mikasa, as well as Armin Arlert, Jean Kirstein, Connie Springer, Sasha Blouse, a few members of the Garrison, and even a few members of the Military Police. As soon as Levi walked in, everybody, except for the superior officers, had given their hearts (A/N: Again, I'm talking about the salute, not the romantic phrase! Or the gory phrase). The superiors had soon given their hearts to Hange when she walked in, which lead the meeting to begin. 

"Why did you call us here, Commander Zoe," Nile Dok, Commander of the Military Police, had asked.

"Sorry, Nile. Didn't know you MPs were in the middle of your ever-so important booze-drinking and smuggling," Hange chuckled.

Nile immediately stood up forcefully, knocking his chair down and slamming his fists against the oak table.

"You dare insult Queen Historia's bodyguards!?" Nile shouted, leading to Eren, Armin, and many other Survey Corps members to stand in order to protect their commander, "You know we are not like that anymore-"

"So you admit it?" Hange grinned a smile that she usually saved for her little Titan experiments with the Yeager and Arlert brats.

"Uh-I-Uh-I-I-.... It doesn't matter. We don't have time for lazy corruptibles. Not anymore!! And you know it, Zoe!!" Nile shouted.

"Commander, with all due respect, please calm down," one of the MPs had asked, with a worried look on her face.

"Now, Nile, I'm not going to insult anyone. I know you MPs don't have anytime for your old habits. So let's just sit down and get this meeting going, shall we?" Hange said with a little grin on her face.

Nile stopped and stared at the successor of his old rival. You'd think that a goofball and a levity person like Hange Zoe wouldn't be fit for Commander of the Survey Corps, but if Erwin had named her the 14th Commander, then she had the potential. Nile sighed before sitting back down in his chair, which one of the MP's had so kindly picked up for him.
