Kit's POV
"This should help him."
I injected him with water so that he can feel better.
"Did you check up on Nanaba?" asks Mikasa
"Yea, she's doing fine, she'll be up in about a week or so." I reply
"Mikasa, your scarf is pretty bloody, shouldn't you clean it?" asks Armin
"Yea, I should." says Mikasa
"How come you wear that scarf everyday?" I ask
"Oh Eren gave it to me." replies Mikasa, "After my parents were killed and he killed the kidnappers."
"Yea I know." I reply
"Huh?"
"It was on the records when we raided the experimental sight" I reply, "Half of the info was burned."
"Why are the Russians so cruel?" asks Annie
"They're not." I reply
"Even after seeing all the heads on sticks?" asks Jean who came in
"Look, the Russians would probably think we are also cruel too." I reply, "Especially those who experienced what happened today, I don't think they would think we are too nice."
"But they attacked us first." says Jean
"Yes they did, but they are only doing what they believe is right." says Armin
I take a seat next to Annie and Jean takes a seat next to me.
"Hey Kit." says Jean
"Yea."
"How much longer?" he asks
"If you can last another year then you'll make it." I reply
"Damn, how many more people do I have to kill?" asks Jean
I stay silent for that question.
"Jean, calm down. If you don't kill, someone is most likely going to be killed." says Mikasa
"Tell that to Armin." says Jean
"Jean." says Mikasa
"Sorry." replies Jean
Javelin enters the infirmary and looks at us.
"How's he?" she asks
"Not bad." I reply
"You stitched him?" asks Javelin
"Yea." I reply
Javelin nods and proceeds to the sink.
"What are you doing?" asks Jean
She grabs an empty tray and lays down all of her knives, probably 6 in total.
"To clean my knives." replies Javelin
"Annie are you okay?" asks Armin
"Yea, just tired." replies Annie
"From exactly what?" asks Javelin, "Cause I think there's some explanation you need to do before Eren finds out."
"Huh?" asks Jean
"Uhh ma'am what are you talking about?" asks Armin
"Ask her." says Javelin
I turn to look at her who seem to be thinking about what to say.
"I uhhh had an affair with Bertholdt before dating Eren." says Annie
Everyone is quiet except for Javelin busy cleaning her knives.
"Is that it?" asks Armin
"No..." whispers Annie
"Then what is there you need to tell us?" asks Mikasa
Annie takes off her hat and rubs her forehead and sighs.
"I made out with him yesterday." whispers Annie
"Oh my god." I sigh
"You're joking." says Armin
"Please tell me you were out of your mind." says Jean
Annie stays silent and just lowers her head.
"Are you fucking serious right now?" growls Mikasa
"Look I realized it was a mistake." says Annie
"Don't give me that bullshit!" yells Mikasa, standing up from her seat.
"Mikasa calm down." says Armin
"How the hell is Eren going to face this, especially when he's in this kind of condition?!" yells Mikasa
I get up and leave the group and I approach Javelin.
"How did you know?" I ask
"Saw them." she replies
"But why did you say it?" I ask
She looks at me before responding
"Wouldn't it be better for them to know now?"
"I guess." I reply
I look behind me and see Mikasa trying to approach Annie but Armin was holding her back. Annie was looking down at the floor and Jean was just sitting there.
"Damn, how do we stop this?" I ask, "What if Eren goes crazy about this, you know how he's like."
"That's their problem, not ours." she replies
"When will you be a bit nicer." I mumble
She leans towards me, so close that our nose were millimeters away from touching.
"When I feel like it." she whispers
"Okay okay." I reply
She goes back to her work and I just stand next to her and watch. That's when everyone from Scout team runs into the infirmary except for the ones that were in the Scout regiment.
"What's going on?" asks Historia
Mikasa walks up to Bertholdt and straight up punches him.
"Okay maybe things are getting a bit too chaotic." I say
"This is going to be fun to watch." says Javelin
Reiner tries to hold back Mikasa but shit goes down. Mikasa flips over Reiner and continues to punch Bertholdt.
"Shouldn't we stop them?" I ask
Javelin looks at me with a 'are you serious' kind of expression.
"Okay never mind." I say
Annie tries to help Berthodlt but Mikasa kicks her in the face while being held back with Jean and Marlowe.
Everyone else tries to stop the fight but fails.
"What the hell is going on?" asks Phantom
Everyone immediately falls into formation in front of her except for us two. Phantom looks at us and raises her eyebrow.
"What happened Javelin." asks Phantom
"Well some personal things were revealed." replies Javelin
Phantom just rubs her eyes as she sighs.
"What happened?" asks Phantom
"Annie cheated on Eren." snaps Mikasa
"Well then, this has to be a problem Annie and Eren has to fix then." says Phantom, "But as punishment for causing a fight, all of you will have to carry the dead bodies found all over the city and organize them. Clean up all the debris on the streets and you will also fill the bodies of our comrades onto the trucks."
"Wait, ma'am we only tried to stop the fight." says Connie
"Is that true?" Phantom asks me and Javelin
I was about to respond but Javelin responds faster.
"No ma'am, I don't know what they're talking about."
I look at her with a shocked face.
"Okay, so you will do this together, teamwork. You guys better be done before Captain Ghost comes back." says Phantom, "Dismissed."
Everyone looks at Javelin with a 'what the fuck' look on their face.
"Oops." was all Javelin says.
Ghost POV
I waited at the abandoned house that sat in the middle of nowhere.
"You came a lot earlier than I thought." says a voice behind me
I turn to see Recon standing right behind me.
"Why are we here?" I ask
"For the answers." she says
"No I mean, why here?" I ask
"This was where I used to live." she replies, "Before I became an orphan."
She walks past me and enters the house so I follow her inside. She sits down on a chair so I take a seat in front of her.
"What are your questions?" asks Recon
"Why were your parents involved?"
"They wanted to change the world, evolve humans."
"Make people like you." I say
"Yes, and they succeeded." she replies
"What is the NHEO?" I ask
"An organization started by our government. They wanted to evolve the humans." she replies
"But why lock up people in a cage?" I ask
"After the failure of containing the serums, people began to turn into titans so that's how Madagascar became the sight. And this was before any of us were born, at least 50 years ago."
"Titan outbreak?"
"Yea, something happened and a couple of people began to turn into titans."
"How did you get the people to be in the walls in the first place?"
"We made up some random ass history for those people to rely on, brainwashed them and threw them onto the island and parts of Africa."
"That's why my parents killed your parents."
"Kind of."
"Then who killed my parents?" I ask
"Some special task force." says Recon
"No names?" I ask
"No. I would tell you if I knew." she replies
"Why are you telling me all of this?" I ask, "You can literally just kill me right here right now and like you said, end the war quicker."
"I would, but killing you now wouldn't make a difference." she replies, "All our allies turn their backs to us and now they're with you."
"How did you get tested?" I ask
"I just volunteered." she replies
"Then what's the knife that prevented Eren from healing?"
"That's a prototype, its metallic property prevents the cells from regenerating." she says
I nod my head absorbing all the information.
"You didn't ask as many questions as I expected you to ask." she says
"Well, most of them were answered." I reply, "I guess we're done here."
I get up and left the house but I turn around to look at it one more time but I see Recon on top of the roof looking down on me.
"Till next time Ajax." she says
"Yea, I'll be waiting Tessa." I reply

Kit's POV
Eren groans from the pain as he tries to sit up.
"Hey Eren, how are you doing?" I ask
"How am I not healing?" he asks
"The knife that cut you had some kind of source that did something to you." I reply
"Where's Annie?" he asks
I look up at him as he looks at me with curious eyes.
"Hey Eren, ummm well there was a personal issue that I think you have to hear out." I tell him
"What happened?"
"Well, Annie uhh had an affair with Bertholdt before dating you." I say
"Really?" he asks
"Well, she uhh cheated on you yesterday."
Eren stops playing with his hands and looks at me with sad confused eyes.
"What? No she wouldn't do that." says Eren trying to laugh it off
"I'm sorry Eren."
Eren stops laughing as he looks at me with betrayed eyes now.
"How do you know?" he asks
"Javelin caught Bertholdt and Annie making out and she called her out today, so she openly admitted it."
Eren's eye begins to tear up as he shakes his head over and over again.
"I think I'll give you some time to think about it."
"Wait, no I need to talk to Annie, please." he says
"Are you sure?" I ask
"Yes, please."
I nod and I left the infirmary to look for Annie.
"Javelin, have you seen Annie?" I ask her
"Let me guess, he woke up?" she guesses
"Yea, but where is she?"
"Over there." points Javelin towards the pile of Russian bodies.
I walk up to her as she drags the body of a dead soldier.
"Annie."
She turns and looks at me.
"He's awake and he wants to talk to you."
Annie nods and tries to walk towards the infirmary but Mikasa stands in her way.
"No way I'm not letting her go to Eren." growls Mikasa
"Mikasa stand down." I say
She gives me a death stare, causing me to think twice.
"Uhhhh, it's what Eren wants." I reply
"Mikasa let them solve it out." says Armin
Mikasa gave in and moves out of the way of Annie.
Eren's POV
'No, she couldn't have done this to me, no way.'
Annie enters the infirmary and sits next to me.
"How are you feeling?" she asks
I don't respond nor do I even look at her.
"Do you need anything?" she asks
"Why?" I ask
She doesn't respond back to me.
"Why did you do this? Why cheat, why betray me?" I continue to ask
"I'm sorry Ere-"
I don't allow her to finish, I lunge towards her and tackle her to the ground. My mind was going insane when I lunged at her, all I wanted to do was to get revenge. I got on top of her and began to choke her. She tries fighting back but she was much weaker than me when it comes to physical strength.
She struggles to breathe and her eyes grow wide in fear and pain. Her face crying out in pain eased me up and I was enjoying just watching her suffer.
"I loved you, and this is the shit I get?!" I yell at her, "I trusted you, I wanted to be with you, we even talked about this and this is the shit you pull off on me?!"
Annie slowly starts to get weaker, her eyes fluttering. But someone hits me on the back of my neck and I blacked out.
Kit's POV
"Are you going to leave them two alone?" asks Javelin
"Yea." I reply
"And you said that I don't know Eren that much." she turns to leave to the infirmary
I walk with her towards the infirmary building. We walk through the halls in silence until I hear crashing noises coming from Eren's room.
"What was that?" I ask
We sprint through the hallway to Eren's room and I see Eren choking Annie on the floor. Javelin runs up to Eren and karate chops the back of his neck, knocking him off.
Annie starts coughing and breathing as she backs away from Eren. I look at her and then at Javelin who didn't seem to care about Annie's condition so she just leaves the infirmary.
I get Eren onto the bed and help out Annie.
"Don't approach him, ever." I tell her
"But I know what I did was wrong." she replies
"I know that, but he still needs time." I reply
She nods and she leaves the infirmary. I leave the infirmary and Javelin's leaning on the wall waiting for me.
"Funny." she smirks
"You know you started this right?" I say
She approaches me and I immediately back up against the wall.
"Wait wait wait, I take that-"
She cuts me off by smacking the wall right next to me head.
"Continue, what were you going to say?" she hisses
"Uhhhh, nothing..." I stammer
She looks at me with eyes intent to kill anything that moves so I stay as still as a statue. I look away from her eyes and try to look somewhere other than her eyes. She backs up and walks away down the hall and I just sigh in relief.
"C'mon, why are you still standing there?" asks Javelin
I catch up but I keep my distance from her, we exit the infirmary and I hear a whole bunch of screaming and yelling near the trucks.
I turn to see a whole fight amongst the Scout team and some Sentinel soldiers trying to hold them back.
"You got to be kidding me." I groan
Javelin seems to be chuckling at the sight, I wanted to say something but I didn't because I didn't want to have another fight.
"Where's our team?" I ask
"Watching." replies Javelin, pointing at a group sitting down and just watching the fight.
"I'm going to leave and check and Nanaba."
I turn to leave and enter Nanaba's room where most of the former Scouts where sitting.
"How are you holding up?" I ask
"Not bad, kind of stings." she replies
"When do you think she'll be up and ready?" asks Mike
"Depends, probably a week or 2." I reply
"I heard a lot of ruckus outside, what happened?" asks Erwin
"Some personal things that's happening." I reply
Javelin come in and taps on my shoulder.
"He's back, we need to go." she says
"Okay, I'll check on you guys later."
I jog out with Javelin towards the helicopter platform where a helicopter was landing on the platform with Ghost on it.
"How did it go?" asks Phantom
"Better than I expected." he replies
"What did you ask?" asks Hacker
"Only personal questions." says Ghost, "How are things holding up?
"Not good." says Phantom, "I'll fill you in."
Ghost and Phantom leave so I left to get back to work helping out. The others were still fighting and now more Sentinels were trying to hold Mikasa back.
"Nothing can stop her right?" asks a Sentinel soldier
"Beats me." I sigh
Javelin approaches me and motions me to come over. I hesitate for a second, before I stop working and approach her.
"I think you should stop them before the Captain gets pissed." says Javelin
"Sure." I reply, "Are you going to help?"
"No, why would I?" replies Javelin
"Uhhh, never mind." I reply
I run into the fray of the fight and I break up Annie and Mikasa who were beating the shit out of each other.
"Stop both of you! Enough!" I yell, putting myself in between Annie and Mikasa.
Mikasa tries pushing past me but I block her way.
"If all of you don't calm the fuck down, all of you are going to be in a damn room with no food and water for 3 days!" I yell
Mikasa stops, breathing hard from all the fighting she's just been through. At least 6 Sentinel soldiers were here, at least having a bloody nose or some kind of injury.
"Attention!" yells a Sentinel
We all fall into formation except for me. Ghost's standing there looking at us with tired face.
"Tie their ankles, Mikasa and Annie together, make them walk around the city, and if they break into another fight, make them walk another lap." says Ghost
And that's what's happening, Annie and Mikasa are now walking around the city together with their ankles tied together.
I get back to work on the streets, in the infirmary, the trucks and in every other place where I can help out. But after an hour, I went to Eren's room to check on him and he was still knocked out.
I sit next to him and I take out my pistol and start cleaning it. After 15 minutes, I feel drowsy so I lean back on my seat, close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
