Starved demons - Counting stars Season 2 |an AoT/SnK fanfic.

A shocking discovery. Ep 6

  "Wait, you're suspecting Bertolt and Reiner?!" Eren gasped after hearing about Hanji' suspicion.

"Precisely," she started. Hanji was the mad scientist in the Scouting Legion, which brown locks scrape into a ponytail and glasses, with a white lab coat over her uniform. She gathered certain people into the discussion room, which was a long table in the centre of a darkened room, only the flicker of fire from the candle as a small light.

There was the high elite soldiers team, the rear attack, and the reinforcements.  She grinned as she stared at them who was slowly falling asleep from her long whining speech. "Precisely."

"But... They are a cadet! They are soldiers!! They would never do anything like this! It just doesn't make sense!" Eliza argued, her eyes drooping. "They would never do something like that. I... I know them.."

"Clearly you don't know them enough then." Levi said as he looked at Eliza who flinched. "They have been hiding their little secret from you all this time."

"No..." Eliza started. "I don't believe you! I don't believe any of you!"

"Eliza." Finn started. "You can't go against proof."

Eliza paused for a moment and stared at the table. "Wait a second..." She stopped to think as they waited for we to say something. "I think... I can remember..."

~Flashback~

"Eliza. We are going to tell you something that you must keep ultra secret." Annie said.

Reiner, Bertolt, Annie and Eliza were gathered together in one of the bunker rooms, sitting on one of the bunks beds. Eliza was wearing her grey top that had a brown ribbon tied around the waist with a skirt that matched, brown stocking and shoes. Annie had trousers and a top that was similar to the other two's. 

Eliza sat cross legged on one of the beds, the others sitting around her. "Really?" She asked, as she looked at them with innocent puppy eyes.

"Yes. But you must swear to keep it a secret." Reiner explained.

"I... I will. I promise. Please tell me! I've never really had to keep an actual secret before, you know."

"On one condition. When we do this, you've got to come with us - we need your power to pull it off." Annie explained.

"Depends on what it is." Eliza replied.

Reiner sighed and said, "I am the armoured Titan, Bertolt is the Colossal Titan and Annie is a female abnormal Titan. And we are going to run away."

"W- wait.... You can't be... Y-you're joking, right??" Eliza asked, confused.

"I'm afraid not, it's one hundred percent true. And when we run to our village we want to take you with us."

Eliza blinked for a moment and thought long and hard. "I...I don't know.."

"We can all get away from humans and escape to the world where we are free." Bertolt explained.

"But there are still Titans out there." Eliza said.

  "This is where you're main role comes in." He started. "You are much stronger than an average colossal Titan... You are something more. Something much more powerful. With those powers, you can control Titans so you can tell them to leave us alone."
