     Ethan groaned as he got up, looking around. Jack had burn marks on him, and Mark had scars on him. Men approached the three titans, and Ethan backpedaled away.

     "S-s-stay back!" He said- wait. Everyone froze, even himself. He could talk. Everyone began whispering, everyone that was conscious at least.

    "What's your name?" A man in a white coat asked, smoothing his hair.

    "I'm called Ethan by the girl." He said, looking around. Where was she? "Um, where is she?"

     "Oh, she's in the medical bay. We're treating her well though!" The man said.

     "What was her name?" Ethan asked.

     "Rishka, Rishka Evans." He said. "Now, I'm going to need you to lay down, so that I can check your arms and torso. Is that okay with you?" He asked. Ethan nodded and laid down. The man asked him to take his shirt off to check his torso, and everything seemed normal.

"Alright, looks like you weren't affected too much during the fight, aside from a few bite marks that will need tending to. Unfortunately for your other friends, they'll need to recover for a while." He said. Ethan nodded and sat up. The soldiers dropped their weapons and cautiously approached him.

"Eh-hem, um, you're not going to be allowed to leave here until you recover and until you are assimilated into this country as a citizen, so..." One of the soldiers said, trailing off. Ethan silently nodded. How long he would be here, he didn't know. At least he didn't get the brute of the fight.

A few years later...

Rishka sat in the back seat of Amelia's car, staring out at the passing desert scene. She had been hoping to finally get a chance to talk with Jack and Mark, seeing as the past 8 times they tried to see the Giants, it was only Ethan that was awake, seeing as he didn't have much recovery to go through. They also went to check on General Felix (I can't freaking spell this fools last name! I can barely spell my name properly, and it's not even hard to spell!) to see how things were going with the three.

"Alright, let's go." Amy said. Rishka followed, grabbing her crutches. Her leg had broken five years ago, when Fumetsu's "trap" for her and Felix left her leg nearly severed off from a piece of burning metal. A battle scar everyone called it. Once they were inside, it was Felix and Tyler that greeted them, rather than just Tyler.

     "Wow, didn't expect you to be up and walking." Rishka said.

     "Didn't expect to see you survived that wound." Felix said. Amelia snickered and then cleared her throat.

     "Are they awake?" She asked.

     "Yep, both of them are waiting for you. Jack was excited to finally see you two, so was Mark" Felix replied.

     The two girls walked into where the giants were, and they saw that Jack was almost normal looking again, and Mark was completely healed of all the wounds he had. The two giants' eyes lit when they saw Rishka and Amelia, and they both smiled.

     "Well if it isn't the lone survivors Amelia and Rishka!" Jack said. Mark rolled his eyes, and the two laid flat on their stomachs.

     "Well, I was the one who has a severed leg... Amelia was only burned up a little bit." Rishka said, limping over with her crutches. Mark frowned, knowing that he had dealt more damage to everyone.

     "Hey, it's not your fault at all." Jack said. "Besides, you didn't do that, and I know you didn't bite me on purpose." He rubbed the burned bite mark, which still hadn't gone away. According to the doctors, they said it would take 50 years for it to become a simple scab. Mark's expression didn't change. Amelia stepped up in front of the Giants, and spoke.

     "So, apparently after the death of crazy firegiant, you guys can now talk?" Amelia asked. Both giants nodded.

     "Yep, Mark and Ethan are trying to apply for citizenship here." Jack said.

     "That's wonderful! But, are you not applying for that?" Rishka said.

     Jack shook his head. "Not here. I'm going international. To the British Isles. There, I'll have lots of forestland to roam in. Might chat with a couple of hikers and thrill seekers along the way."

     "You're leaving us?" Rishka asked.

     "Well, you guys can come up there anytime! It's not like I'm moving to a different planet." Jack said.

     "When's your departure?" Amelia asked.

     "In two months. I'll be dropped off in Athlone. I'm probably gonna stay there for a long while." Jack said with a reassuring smile. Rishka walked up to his hand and hugged the giant's finger. Jack lifted her to his chest.

     "We're gonna miss you." Mark said. "Me and Ethan especially. We probably won't be able to visit for a long while!" Jack chuckled and put Rishka down. Ethan crept into the room, and spoke.

     "Then let's make the most of our time together while we're all here!" He chirped.

     For the rest of the day the group caught up with each other and interrogated each other to learn as much as possible. When it was time for Rishka and Amelia to leave, they said their goodbyes and wished the giants good luck on their new lives.

(Aaaaaaaaaand, *claps hands together* IT'S A WRAP!!! Thank you all so much for reading. It was actually kinda fun! And, to fill you in: Mark meets Amy (who has Kathryn in tow when Mark meets her), Ethan meets Tyler, and Jack meets Robin and Signe! And, the hunter that followed Fumetsu... He uh, died. Literally starved himself to be with his King. So his corpse wasn't put to waste, and you guys know what I mean by that. So, thank you all for reading, and if you liked it and want me to write more, I will! I'm working on something else as well... But anyways, enough rambling, WSW, OUT!!!)
