*Reader's POV*

The first thing I saw was Levi's face when I woke up. When he saw that I was awake he crossed his arms and demanded "What did Nile mean when he said that you knew what the Brat was?" I narrowed my eyes and said nothing. Only for him to say "The Brat already told us what happened before Nile had you dragged out of your cell. So tell me what he meant." When I continued to say nothing he "tch'd" and started to walk away. I sighed and closed my eyes as I said "I wasn't always deaf if you can believe that. But the day that changed was also the day I fled. Yeager's father was the one who found me in the ally way bleeding and broken. My face cut by the MP's marking me so that they'd forever know my face."

I took a shaky breath opening my eyes and met his cold gaze as I continued "His father carried me to Shadis's. But before he gave me over to Shadis's care he told me about Eren and what he'd be able to do. Tried to make me promise to become his protector in exchange for his help. But I refused saying that I would provide the training for him to protect himself. It was Shadis who took care of me, who protected me and taught me. I never left after that. I spent a year healing my broken body, and spent the next 3 training and perfecting my own methods. After my training was when Yeager came, and I became his teacher as well as several others."

"And what is your connection to the Phantom?" he asked with a chilly look. I met his gaze and said "There is no connection if that's who I am." His eyes narrowed as he coldly demanded "So you lied to the judge?" I shook my head and said "I denied the charges of being the Ghost, not the Phantom." "They're the same thing Brat" he said coldly. "No a Ghost is the soul of a dead person with the ability to haunt the living. A Phantom is an apparition, something that is there but isn't" I stated smartly. "That doesn't change the fact that you lied to the judge to get off on your charges" he said coldly.

"And when exactly did I lie to the judge? I told the judge nothing but the truth, yes the wound I have is similar to the one you created yourself but I never lied when I said I received mine from a training accident. And I was correct in saying that the move I make when fighting could easily be copied. Then I was also correct in pointing out that the canister drop was only something an amateur would do and let's face it when it comes to 3DMG gear I'm no amateur. Then there just happened to be blueprints in my room that just happened to match the canister that was conveniently left behind? You don't have to like me but at least give me the benefit of the doubt that I'm not stupid enough to keep things like that in an unlocked room where it could be easily discovered" I pointed out.

"Tch if that's true, why would someone want to frame you?" Levi said as he crossed his arms and leaned up against the doorframe. All I did was raise a brow and said "Who do you think benefited the most from framing me?" "Both Smith and Dok did, but to frame you wouldn't they have to know who you were, and why would either of them go through the trouble of framing you Brat? No offense but your just a deaf woman, nothing remotely special about you even if you do possess a remarkable title" he stated coldly. "The scar on my face is the mark of the Phantom, it's the only thing the children see when I rescue them. And I have something Dok wants, and framing me would be the only way he could get his hands on me so he could get the information he wanted" I said with a shrug.

"Tch and that was?" he asked with a raised brow. I sighed and said "He wanted to know where I took the children after I rescued them." "Tch what would Nile Dok want with a bunch of snot nosed, dirty children?" he asked. I shrugged and said nothing until he asked "So where DO you take them Brat?" I narrowed my gaze and said "If I endured Nile Dok's torture for weeks without giving him that very answer what makes you think I'd just hand it over to you?" His gaze turned even colder before he asked "Tch why are you called the Phantom?" I met his eyes searching them and finally said "I was originally called the Phantom because of how fast I was killing Titan's. I killed my first Titan when I was 14. I had been designing a 3DMG gear that ran on steam while I was under my third Master's contract. During the confusion of Wall Maria I slipped away and fought alongside your Squad. It was after receiving the title Maria's Hero, that I had to resort to my old nickname to rescue the children."

Levi's steel gray eyes searched mine as he demanded "Why Brat? Why you?" I gave him a sad smile and said "Because no one else will." It was then that he turned around and left. After a few days avoiding everyone I finally joined them for rations. I was calmly eating my lunch and watching everyone chatting when suddenly Eren's arm transformed. Immediately everyone surrounded him making him panic even more. I stood and pushed my way through the others turning my back towards Eren as a cold anger filled my eyes. I planted my feet, and icily demanded "Step back." When one of them tried to push me aside I grabbed a fork from a nearby table and pressed it against his jugular.

Him and the other's turned pale as I calmly said "No body move another step, now I want everyone to take a large step back and give Eren some room to breathe. Surrounding him with blades, and asking questions is only going to make him panic even more, which will only make the situation worse than it already is." When everyone halted and did as I demanded I released the person in my grasp and kicked him towards the others, then turned to slowly approach Eren. I dropped my weapon, crossed my arms and coldly demanded "Yeager what did I teach you about balance?" Slowly he relaxed as he repeated every word. I nodded and said "Good now calm your mind, and find your inner core. Now relax and take a deep breath."

When he did as I instructed he turned back to normal and I demanded "Woods now Yeager." Only for Levi to coldly say "Don't move a muscle Brat, or I'll make you clean the stables for a week with a toothbrush." My jaw clenched as I turned to face Levi and approached him. When our gazes met I said "He's still under my command. I don't care who says what, you don't get him until I say he's ready. So piss off he's mine, and if you want him you'll have to wait your turn." A battle of wills began neither of us moving a single muscle. Soon I realized that he was thinking on some way to push me aside and I coldly said "Don't even try it Captain. I'll personally rip out your spine, and hang it above my cell door for decoration."

It was a long while when he finally took a step back and allowed me to turn and face Eren. The moment I turned I said "I said move it Yeager!!!" When he didn't move I got in his face and demanded "Did I stutter Cadet?! I said move it before I kick your ass so hard you fly there!" To which he bolted towards the woods leaving behind a cloud of dust. When I couldn't see him anymore I looked back at Levi and said "We'll be back before sunset." All I got in return was an ice cold glare that said I'd pay later.
