We headed to the sparring area to see if anyone needed a spot. The second we came in we were instantly flagged down. "Hey come watch our match," Hanna called out to us.

We walked up and saw she was versing Connie. This should be an interesting match. Her power requires her to look at the person the whole time to affect them fully. However, Connie is too fast to see.

"We're going to need a barrier to make sure Connie stays inside the ring," I said glaring at Connie.

"Oh come on I have never-," he started.

"The match versus Jean, the match versus Christa, the other match versus Jean, another match versus Jean, the match versus Annie, another match verse Jean-" I started to list them off before he cut me off.

"Okay, so I've bailed a few times-."

"13."

"But I have good reasons for each of those," he said, completely ignoring me. I just raised an eyebrow. This should be interesting. "Christa was going to make me walk out of the circle anyways and I really didn't want her controlling me. Annie was going to kill me. She nearly skewered me with her crystals."

"And Jean?" I asked.

"He's an idiot and falls for it every time. It's funny to watch him blast fireballs aimlessly at nothing for an hour."

"Okay you have a fair point for that last one," I said remembering the look on Jean's face after finally figuring out that he's been duped for the 11th time. Surprisingly enough he never learns and it takes him longer to figure out every time.

"Still, I don't trust you," Levi said waving Petra over.

"Invisible boundaries?" She asked.

"Yes please," I answered.

She used her power to solidify the air encasing them in a completely see-through arena. She left them enough room to still knock the other out of the circle on the ground, but you couldn't go too far from the match. "Alright, call me over when the match ends so I can let them out." She said before being called over to another group.

"We really need to start calling her over when Jean spars," Levi whispered and I quickly nodded my head.

"That would save us so many shirts."

"Not to mention the burns," Levi smiled.

I'm about to tell them to start you watch Connie's thoughts to make sure he stays inside the circle.

"Done," Levi said before closing his eyes knowing it will be easier to track his thoughts if he couldn't see the chaos going on inside the ring.

"Three, two, one, Spar!" The second I said spar Connie was nothing more than a blur running around the circle.

"He's planning on giving her five minutes to try and take him out before he pushes her out of the circle," Levi whispered to me.

"Well, at least he's giving her a shot." Their power match up isn't the fairest.

I could see Hanna struggling as she tried to get her eyes to latch onto him, but he was both nowhere and everywhere at once. After the five minutes were up Connie reappeared and Hanna was standing outside of the ring. Well, she gave it her all. We called Petra over and she released them.

"Well maybe next time," she sighed. "Was I even close?" she asked and Connie shrugged.

"I felt your power affect me here and there, but not enough to do more than give me a slight headache."

"A headache?" She repeated, "my power is supposed to incapacitate," she sighed.

"Yes, but you have to keep a clear sight on the person you're affecting the whole time this matchup was doomed from the start," Eren shrugged.

"Yeah, but still I guess I was just hoping my power was strong enough that one glance would overload his mind. If I could have done that then while he was incapacitated I could have pushed him outside of the circle."

"Good plan, but a bad person to test it on," I said, patting her on the shoulder.

"Maybe I can go against you?" She asked, getting really excited.

"I don't know about that," I mumbled.

Yeah you have to deal with a small portion of that on a daily basis so either her power won't work on you as effectively or it will work on you too well. Eren thought to me and that posed a bunch of questions that actually made me want to try this.

Her power is overloading the mind causing pain, memory loss, and lack of consciousness depending on how much she overloads it. However, my mind is always overloaded because of my power causing two of the three of those already. Memory loss is one I don't think I've had before however, I can't be certain since I wouldn't quite be able to remember it if it had.

"Don't tell me you're actually thinking of this," Eren whispered to me. "And you call me reckless." No sparring before the mission. The last thing we need is your powers shot because of this.

"You've got a point," I mumbled, "but I want to give it a try," I shrugged before giving him a wink, "don't worry I'll call it off if it gets bad."

Eren just stared at me before letting out a sigh, "fine, but this is your one reckless action for the week," he rolled his eyes.

"Okay," I said before walking into the ring.

Hanna walked into the ring and the second Eren stopped counting down and said Spar Hanna was pushed out of the ring.

"Done," I shrugged. She gave me a little pout.

"That was mean."

"Hey, I said I would verse you I never said I would let you win," I shrugged. Eren was smiling and practically laughing wondering why he doubted me. Well, time to use up that reckless action he gave me. "However, I am curious about how your powers would affect me, so I'm giving you a free shot," I said and I watch Eren's smile vanished instantly.

"Wait what?" Eren asked the worry in his voice pained me to hear, however, I have to know how her powers affect me.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes. Give me your best shot."

"Alright," she said she sounded a little hesitant. She took a deep breath and looked at me and I felt a headache form in my head. Thoughts were starting to get thrown at me, but nothing more than a headache.

"This makes no sense," I heard her mumble.

"What?"

"Well this is usually enough to bring a person to their knees," she said and I smiled. Well, guess I have my answer. How long can I last?

"Try to make me fall unconscious," I said and I could see the stress radiate off of Eren.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yup."

She took a deep breath and I felt severe pain in my head. I fell to one knee, but I was still conscious.

"Okay that's enough," I heard Eren call out before running over to me. The pain slowly vanished and I was left with a mild headache.

"Levi that was really reckless," he said angrily as he gently caressed my face and looked in my eyes to make sure I was okay.

"I know, but I had to know. Turns out her powers work on me less than an average person," I smiled.

"Sorry I-," She tried to apologize but I cut her off.

"No, don't be sorry, I asked you too. I had to know."

I walked out of the circle and sat on the side when I heard Connie challenge Eren.

"While he catches his breath how about a friendly match?"

Eren smiled and accepted. "Alright, I need to blow off some steam anyway." Danger. He's pissed right now Connie is so fucked. When he's angry his powers get stronger since they are emotion-based.

"Levi, Hanna mind spotting us?" Connie asked.

I just nodded as I heard Eren's thoughts. This won't take long. I believed him.

"Three, two, one, spar!" I watched Eren do one hand movement and then another and Connie flew out of the circle. He flew out so hard he hit the floor and slid all the way to the wall that was about ten feet away.

As reckless as that was I'm not going to lie that was kinda hot. I stood up and went to check on Eren's wrist since he didn't have his braces on however, I think he ended that match before his wrists could even get sore.

"What the hell even happened?" Connie asked after he finally got some air back in his lungs.

"I increased the gravity on me keeping me in place against the floor making me too heavy to move out of the circle and then made a strong gravity field outside of the circle," Eren shrugged.

"That was awesome," Hanna said practically jumping up and down.

"Glad I could entertain," Eren said, giving her a smile. He used his powers to lift Connie off the floor so he could get to his feet before releasing him.

"Thanks," Connie mumbled, brushing off some of the dust on his clothes.

Levi and I headed to the common area to get some food that Molbit, Mom, and Erwin brought back. While eating I couldn't help but ask mom if the two civilians were settling in okay. I hadn't seen them all day.

"They're still pretty shaken up about everything, but we got them some supplies, and Petra built them temporary rooms for the time being. They haven't really left them all too much but we made sure to drop some food off with them first. We're still trying to figure out what to do from here," she told me and I nodded.

"I'm sure we'll figure something out," I sighed.

After we finished eating we did a few rounds around the building just to stay busy. Levi and I just walked and talked for a while. We speculated what the mission would be like and what to do if we get caught. We came up with a few backup plans, but none of them sounded ideal. Then again getting caught didn't sound ideal, to begin with.

Before heading back to our room we stopped to check in with Pixis since our team was going to bed earlier than everyone else. He had taken over the nightly check-ins with everyone since we were on missions back to back these last two nights.

We made it back to our room. It was time to get some rest before the mission. I didn't know if I would be able to sleep. I mean I'm the reason everyone is going to be in harm's way. I'm the reason for this reckless mission.

"Babe," Levi whispered in my ear, "they were as ready for this mission as you were."

"I know, I'm just hoping it's not for the same reason," I mumbled knowing that my emotions got me into this mess and I wanted to be on this mission purely out of spite. If anyone was finding one of the camps it had to be me. I had to give a giant finger to the government after the shit they've pulled.

Levi didn't call me out on my thoughts, instead, he helped me get ready for bed and we laid down and tried to get some rest.
