Rewind

Chapter 1

"How is the training with the Titan coming?" Levi asked Hanji as she and Eren walked through the door.

"He's making progress," Hanji said.

"Good," Levi said. He looked at the two, and noticed how tired they looked.

Hanji had taken over on the research with Eren's Titan form. They had been able to learn a lot about the titans through Hanji's experiments. He knew that the experiments took a major toll on Eren, because he was actually turning into a titan. It still took a toll on the glasses wearing, titan loving, experimenter. She was constantly trying to think of new ways to test Eren’s titan form, and at the same time, making sure Eren, her squad, or herself did not get hurt in the process.

Eren sat down at the table and laid his head down. He was more exhausted today more than the other days. He transformed more times today than he had before. Mikasa pushed some food in front of him, knowing he would be hungry, and he took it wordlessly. Jean, Armin, Connie, and Sasha sat down at the table and looked at Levi. All of their eyes held questions that were begging to be answered.

"So do we have anything coming up soon?" Jean asked.

"No," Levi said, studying his squad. "Right now our orders are to learn what we can from Eren."

"Okay," Connie said. "How long are we supposed to do that?"

"Until we get new orders," Hanji said shrugging. There wasn’t really another answer to his question. They needed to learn all that they could about the titans, and Eren was their only source of information at the moment.

They sat around the table for a while, conversing. After a while everyone finally started breaking off and going to bed. When Levi stood left Eren followed him.

"Heichou," Eren said in the hallway. Levi paused with his hand on the door knob. He turned his head to look at his subordinate. By the way he was standing, Levi knew Eren was nervous about something. He had one arm hanging by his side, while they other one reached around and held onto his upper arm. His head was turned sideways, and he wasn’t looking at Levi. "Can I talk to you?"

"Not tonight, Brat," Levi said. Yes, he knew that Eren wanted to say something important. But he was going to let Eren sleep on it. He wanted to give Eren time to truly think about what he was going to say, before he said it. "Go to sleep. We will talk first thing in the morning." Levi opened his door, and walked into his room. Leaving Eren in the hallway, staring at the empty place where Levi once stood.

Eren sighed and walked the few steps to his room. He closed the door and leaned up against it. He sighed, partly of frustration, and partly of relief. He needed to talk to Levi, but he knew it could wait until morning. So he shook his head, and went to bed.

Later that night, once everyone had been asleep for a while, a man snuck into Eren's room, a needle poised and ready in his hand. He slowly crept through Eren’s room, hidden by shadows, until he got to the side of Eren’s bed. He stuck the needle into Eren's neck and injected the serum. The man stood up, and took a step back. "Sorry, but we need to keep information about the Titans a secret. It would be an issue if they found out the truth," he said, then climbed back out the window.

In the morning Levi walked out to where everyone was gathered and chatting, and saw that a certain person was missing. "Where's Jaeger?" Levi asked. He was curious as to where the brunette was. He was usually one of the first one up.

"I think he's still asleep," Mikasa said, mild confusion lacing her tone.

Levi acknowledged her and headed towards Eren's room. He was curious as to what the Brat wanted to talk about, but he was pretty sure he knew. He quickly got to Eren's room and, without knocking, opened the door. He saw a small mass in the bed sleeping. He cocked his head confused. He was sure that even if Eren was curled up, he should be bigger than the mass in the bed. He pulled the sheets back and his eyes widened with what he saw.

There sleeping, was a little five year old that looked like Eren Jaeger.
