I couldn't stop fidgeting as every second got more and more uncomfortable. Franz was the next one to come out. Looks like he's going down that row of rooms first unless he's going across? If Hanna's next he's going down the row if Ymir and Christa are next he's going across.

Franz's costume was a chaotic mess. Most costumes are designed to help minimize backlash if possible, however, Franz's backlash is just the backlash of whoever's power he's using at the moment. He was wearing a black winter coat for Marco's backlash, wrist wraps for Eren and Pixis's backlash, fireproof gloves for Jean's backlash and I think he carries around a bottle of painkillers for other people's backlash. The rest of his costume was just regular black jeans and a red face mask.

He walked up and I could feel how awkward he was. God, I wish my powers would stop jumping around and would just stay focused on Eren. I would rather just suffer through Eren's anxiety for the whole time than be jumping through a million different emotions. It's giving me whiplash.

"Um, hi," He said, giving a little awkward wave before pulling down his mask so that it was just under his chin. "I'm Franz, my codename is Replicate or Eradicate, and um well, my power is that I can replicate people's powers or erase them for a few minutes."

They greeted him and introduced themselves, well, everyone except Rico who was just standing there quietly staring at the floor. She didn't even look angry anymore, just blank. I tried to listen to her thoughts and all I heard were my own words from earlier repeating on loop. Maybe I got through to her? Or maybe she's pissed off and plotting her revenge? Don't know, don't care I'm just glad she's not thinking shit about my friends.

The next person who came out was Hanna. Yup, they are going down the rows, makes sense. They are sending all the rooms with one person before sending the rooms with two people. Which if I'm correct Jean and Marco should be the last people they send. That will be a hell of a finale especially if Gunther or Rico talk shit to them. Knowing Jean he wouldn't hesitate to pick a fight, then again I'm right there with him this time.

I looked back up at Hanna and noticed she had changed her mask. It was no longer a plain black one, but now it was a bright yellow. The rest of her costume was just a plain black jacket with her codename on the back and black jeans.

"I'm Hanna, nice to meet you all," she said with a smile, "My code name is overload, and my power is that I can overload someone's mind causing them some pain, memory loss, or loss of consciousness."

Some pain, now that's the understatement of the year. I felt like my head was splitting open, and first off that wasn't even her full ability, secondly, I have a higher tolerance to that sort of pain and it still brought me to my knees.

The next person to come out was Mina and I could tell she was super nervous to be around everyone. Her costume was just like Hanna's. It wasn't customized aside from her codename on the back. The only difference aside from that is that her mask is white.

"I'm Mina," she whispered, "my codename is Poltergeist, and I can possess people for a short period of time."

"Oh, you are the one who is supposed to kick off the mission," Nanaba said intrigued.

"Yeah, it seems so," she mumbled.

They greeted her and when she left I heard Nanaba's thoughts. They're putting an awful lot on that poor girl's plate. I hope she's not too stressed out about her role in all of this.

The more I listen, the more Nanaba seems like a nice person. My only question is how did such a nice lady end up in the same team as Rico and Gunther.

Armin was the next one to come out. Which no one could even see him. He was so nervous that he came out completely invisible. The only reason I knew he was there was because I snapped over to his thoughts on accident.

His thoughts kept panicking. Why did I come out here like this? If I just appear in front of them would that scare them? Would they feel threatened? Would it just be weird? God his rambling was hurting my head. I just closed my eyes and rubbed at my temple. Finally, I heard him actually think to me. Levi do you know I'm here. I kept my eyes closed but gave him a nod.

Should I just appear? Would that freak them out? Maybe I should walk back towards the rooms and try to walk back out? Or maybe-.

I'm not listening to another second of this shit. "Armin for fuck's sake stop with the spiraling thoughts my head is killing me." I blurted out. PIxis just looked around for him before looking at me a little confused.

"Armin's here?"

"Yeah, he's nervous and invisible, not to mention splitting my head open with his thoughts."

A second later Armin awkwardly appeared in front of us with his head down and eyes glued to the floor. Shit, I probably just embarrassed him even more. Ya know what oh well I'm too annoyed to deal with this today.

"Um, hi," he mumbled. It was so hard to hear him. God, I feel bad for embarrassing him. I let out a sigh and walked up next to him. "This is Armin, he's a bit shy. His code name is Ghost and his powers are invisibility and phasing," I said introducing him so he wouldn't have too. He looked up at me and gave me a grateful smile. They all introduced themselves before he scurried off back to his room.

The next group was Ymir and Christa. Makes sense, we ran out of rooms that only had one person in each so I guess we're on the double rooms. Ymir walked straight up and Christa trailed awkwardly behind her. Christa's costume was one of the most decked out ones here, and that's mostly thanks to Ymir since she designed it for her. We could tell she still wasn't fully confident in it.

She wore a black shirt that had a blueish greenish purplish glimmered seashells over her chest. Her pants and the same blue green purple color with a scaly design. They were skin-tight except around her calves where they started to loosely flow out. Almost like a mermaid tail. Her shoes were high heel combat boots. Her mask not only covered her face but her neck too and there were gills around her next designed on the mask.

Lastly, her gloves which were my personal favorite part of this costume. They had a button on them that when pressed fins would pop out. Well, they were shaped like fins, but in reality, they were razor-sharp knives. That could sheath and unsheath themselves at the press of that button. I'm still not exactly sure how Ymir made them, but she did an amazing job.

"Sup," Ymir said, giving them a little nod. "I'm Ymir and this is my girlfriend Christa." Well, guess we're going to find out if they are homophobic or not. It was bound to happen, but damn Ymir really gives no fucks.

Surprisingly no one seemed to have any issues with that. Good to know we aren't dealing with any homophobes. Lucky them because I'm at the point where I would, without hesitation, stab someone.

"My codename is Ouija, and I can talk to ghosts," Ymir continued.

"Ghosts aren't real? Are they?" I heard Hannes ask before looking around.

"Oh they are very real, I see at least three in this room right now," she said with a smile.

I could already tell who was here by the sudden weight on my shoulders. Someone was leaning on me, and someone else was holding my hand. I could tell I wasn't the only one when Eren whispered. "Mom?" He brought his hand up to his cheek and let out a smile.

"Guess I don't need to tell you two who decided to stop by," Ymir said looking over at us.

"Mom,'s here," Eren said back to her and she nodded.

"Farlan and Isabell are on me. Let me guess Farlan's the one leaning on me and Isabell is the one holding my hand?" I asked.

"Yup," she said happily, "you guys are getting better at telling who is where," she smiled.

Hannes looked around the room a little anxiously and I noticed he wasn't the only one. For the first time since Mom and Molbit left Rico actually spoke up.

"There aren't any around me are there?" She asked, her voice was quiet, but her thoughts were chaotic. I swear to god if any of those sick fucks are haunting me, watching my every move I'll find a way to kill them again.

Did I hear her right? She's killed people before... You know what I'm not even surprised at this point.

"I don't see any around any of you at the moment," Ymir shrugged.

Rico just nodded but she still kept looking around the room with a new anxious feeling.

"Anyway, Christa you're up," She said, putting her arm around her shoulder and bringing her more towards the front.

"Um, okay," she mumbled before looking at the other exiles, "my codename's Seiren, and my power is thought manipulation, and enhanced charisma."

They headed back to their room and out came the next group.

Mikasa and Annie were the next two out...this is going to be interesting. Annie isn't what you call a people person, hell, I was worried about Jean picking a fight, but let's be honest Annie would pick a fight and win it in a heartbeat.

Mikasa's costume makes me laugh every time. Her costume has all these fake shields everywhere. On her arms, legs, and back. They are made out of cheap sheet metal and are stitched to her jacket and pants. The only reason they are there is because Pixis was afraid of people finding out that Mikasa was indestructible, so he came up with the shield design to throw people off and make it look like the shields were blocking her or something.

Annie on the other hand looked badass. She wore a long-sleeved white shirt and black jeans. There were holes in her shirt and pants where her chrystals poked through looking like rows of long crystal spikes sticking out of her arms and legs. Her helmet was made out of her crystals with nothing but clear crystals for where she needed to see. Mikasa nudged her as they walked up and the crystal helmet faded back into her skin.

Mikasa and Annie walked up hand in hand and Mikasa introduced the both of them. "I'm Mikasa and this is Annie. My codename is The Ultimate Shield, and her's is Gemstone. Her power as you can see is the crystals. She can crystalize her skin, shoot crystals at people, and make a crystal barrier. Oh, these crystals are also bulletproof." Mikasa explained. "My powers are indestructibility, super strength, and super stamina."

The looks on everyone's faces were priceless. Most of them looked a little anxious when shaking their hands and introducing themselves. Especially around Annie. She looked scary, I mean she has a resting bitch face and sharp crystal daggers growing out of her skin.

They went back to their rooms and I could see a few people calm down a little bit. I saw Sasha and Connie turn the corner and I was just hoping they don't ask a million questions.

Sasha's costume was always cool to see. Her costume was half white half black. Her jacket was black on the left and white on the right while her pants were black on the right and white on the left. Even her combat boots were black and white. When she used to walk around with a double they always had the exact opposite costume as her so it would be a little easier for people to tell. Connie on the other hand just had a plain black jacket and plain black pants.

"Oh my god, we finally get to meet you all!" Sasha squealed excitedly.

Dear god if she gives me a headache I'll send them both back to their room and just tell them their information.

"Yeah, this is awesome!" Connie said equally as excited.

"I'm Sasha and I hope we can all be great friends!"

"I'm Connie, and yea what she said!"

Oh my god hurry up.

"My codename is doubles," Sasha said before another one of her appeared next to her. "I can make duplicates of myself," She said throwing her arm around her double.

"My codename is The Blur," Connie said before appearing at the other end of the room and yelling across it, "I have super speed."

He came back over and the other exiles introduced themselves and just like I thought Sasha started bombarding them with questions.

They all looked caught off guard and I just stepped in "Sasha, don't pester them." I said before picking her up with my power and handing her over to Connie. I looked at him and told him, "take her back to your room we have other people who still need to introduce themselves."

Connie nodded and whispered to Sasha. "Don't fuck with Levi he's in one of his moods today." Before disappearing as he ran off to their room. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? You know what at this moment I could care less.

When I saw who walked out next I just let out a sigh. Berthold is fine, but Reiner better behave himself. Reiner's costume has definitely changed a little since the last time I saw him in it. He was wearing a padded motorcycle jacket with a motorcycle helmet for a mask. Those are new.

"Hello," Berthold said, walking up. I was so relieved reading his thoughts. He and Reiner had apparently made a deal to let Berthold do all the talking. "I'm Berthold and this is Reiner. My code name is Resilient Recoil, and his is Armored Boost. My power is that I can stretch myself until I'm paper-thin. His power is enhanced strength and enhanced speed."

I could tell Berthold rushed through the explanation, probably since it was obvious Reiner really didn't want to be there and he looked annoyed that they even had to introduce themselves.

When they left and I saw Jean and Marco turn the corner I felt so relieved. The last group we are almost done. Finally.

Jean and Marco walked up and Maro introduced them. "I'm Marco and this is Jean. My codename is Cryo,"

"And mine is Pyro," Jean said with a smile.

"Oh they kinda match," Hitch said with a little giggle, "is that on purpose?"

"Yup," Jean nodded happily. "I can make fire, steam, and electricity,"

"I can make ice, control water, and breath underwater," Marco said.

When they finished the introductions Pixis dismissed everyone. He told them they could go back to their rooms, train in the sparing area, or hang out in the common area if they wanted. He was already giving them free rein it seemed. He did give them a warning that he was letting everyone out of their rooms and some of them are a little chaotic. He specifically named Sasha which doesn't surprise me.

When everyone started heading their separate ways the only thing stopping me from running back to my room was that my legs refused to move that fast.

"Do you want me to carry you?" Eren asked. I had to stop myself from telling him to fuck off because he genuinely was worried about me and didn't mean to patronize me, but man it sure felt like it.

"No, I can walk."

"Man you look like shit," Jean said walking up next to us as we started heading to our room.

I could see Eren out of the corner of my eyes trying to motion for him to cut it out that today was not the day,

"I feel like shit," I mumbled.

"Overdid it?" He asked with a more serious and worried tone after noticing Eren's behavior.

"Something like that."

I felt his hand pat me on the back. "Alright, get some rest dude I'll bug you later then," he said before walking away.

"Well, at least he's respectful about when to bug me," I mumbled.

"He's a jackass, but he knows when not to fuck with people," Eren laughed, "especially when said person has so many knives on him and will not hesitate to kill him."

"You have a point," I shrugged.

"I'm just surprised you squared up with that Rico girl, I'm almost positive she's probably killed someone before."

"What makes you say that?"

"Just a feeling."

"That sounds like you're being judgemental," I rolled my eyes.

"Not judgemental. She just has that vibe," he mumbled, "I bet you-," he froze not sure what to bet. "If I win I top next if you win you top," he shrugged.

"I'll take that bet," I laughed. I mean either way we get to have sex it's a win-win.

When we got back to the room I just collapsed on the bed and felt a wave of relief wash over me.

"Hun I know you're tired but can you sit up for a second?" Eren asked and I just let out a groan.

"Why?" I asked but did it anyway.

He sat on the bed in front of me and told me I could lean my head on his shoulder and I did just that. I felt as some of the weight started to come off of me. He was taking off all my knives. He managed to slip my jacket off and then whispered, "lift ur head and arms up," I did just that and he slipped my shirt off.

"Sorry babe but you're going to have to do the pants yourself," he said and I sighed.

I stood up and watched as he threw his sweats back on too. He left his shirt off and laid down waiting for me. I was moving so slowly, but I couldn't physically push myself to go any faster. The second I got my sweats on I plopped down on the bed and crawled up next to him. He wrapped an arm around me and I was about to close my eyes when there was a knock.

Who the fuck is that? I swear to god I'm going to murder someone today.
