Vengeance Of A Human

Joining the Scouts: The Choice We Make

The killer of Sawney and Beane wasn't found by the end of the investigation. All the cadets, save for me and Eren, were suspected for some reason. I got off due to the fact that I was with Section Commander Miche on duty. However, the lack of a suspect frustrates me. Someone did it, but everyone knew where the Titans were being held. Is there a reason only the cadets were inspected?

Whatever the case, I had a job to do, and that is to somehow make Section Commander Zoe better. I find her all alone in the soldiers' office, which would be weird because she and Moblit are a package deal, yet he's the one who sent me here. She sits at a table, her body hunched over, her head in her hands. She's silent, so I'm not sure if she's crying or not. I step over to the table, taking my seat opposite of her. "Section Commander Hange, are you...okay?"

"All the trouble we went through bringing them here... I'd barely scratched the surface of my experiments."

"I'm sorry for your lost."

"Damn it. DAMN IT!" Hange slams her fists on the table, nearly scaring my soul out my body with her screams. "All the experiment preparations I made, ruined."

"Hey, we'll capture more Titans and experiment on those." That's when an unfriendly, devious, hilarious, quite entertaining thought sparks in my mind. I've been around Hange too long now if that idea is in my head. I smile like an evil mastermind as I lower her hands. "Well, we do have a Titan for you to experiment on if you catch my drift."

"Wait...experiment?" It takes Hange a moment, but once I see her glasses light up, I know she catches on. "That reminds me! I have Eren's transformation experiment to be tending to!" In her renewed excitement, Hange locks my arms to the table with her surprisingly strong grip. "No use standing around sulking, I've got scientific models to be prepping! You want to help me out too, right, Hardin? Come on now, don't be shy."

Well....it was my idea...and this should be fun. I nod eagerly, because what's better than experimenting with your friends? "Sure!"

"It's settled, you're coming with me! Quick as you can! There are arrangements to be made!"

Days later, Hange is back to her old, mad scientist self. Today is a special day, after all.

"Haha! Hahaha! The day is finally here! We're finally going to get to try out Eren's Titan transformation!"

"Um, Section Commander... You might want to contain your excitement a little." Ah, Moblit, back to being the voice of reason. Everything is good.

"Haha! But the next expedition beyond the Walls isn't far off now. We have to put Eren through his paces properly!"

"Is this business or pleasure to you?" Lieutenant Levi stands nearby, far away from Hange's bubbliness as audibly possible. I can tell he doesn't approve of such measures, but the commander authorized this long ago. Besides, we need to understand what Eren can do.

However, for me and Hange, this is leaning towards pleasure. "Don't get me wrong, I know this is an important mission for the Scouts. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't find this fun! It doesn't change the fact that this experiment could be pivotal in the survival of the human race, though. So...don't let us down, Eren."

I stand by Eren, chuckling to myself. I pat him on the shoulder, trying my best not to release my rising humor. "Good luck, Eren. We'll be right behind you!"

"Yeah... If I lose it out there and start... Never mind. I'll make it work, don't worry."

"Oh, you losing control is not what I'm worried about. But if you do, I'll pull you out, after I get some enjoyment. This will be fun."
