____________Levi's POV____________
After I gathered up both my old squad members, and my new ones, as well as Hanji and Erwin, we began our way towards the mess hall.
Once there, I see (F/N) sitting in a chair, elbows on the table, as her fingers interlace one another.
She looks up at us, and gives a weak smile, as she says, "I guess its time to tell another story, huh?"
I didn't know whether or not she way trying to ease the tense atmosphere, or was just being sarcastic.
Either way, she looked like she didn't want to explain about who the 'he' person is.
She took a deep breath, before releasing it out of her nose.
"The man that Levi and I saw earlier, he is not someone you should easily mess with. Especially if your someone like me." She says, looking down at the floor.
"What do you mean by that?" Eld asks.
"The man's name is Deimos [dahy-mos]. The meaning of his name is terror, or fear. It suits him well." She says.
"Why is that?" Eren asks hesitantly.
She took a deep breath, as she says, "Soon after aniki had taken me out of the orphanage, I guess you could say I was kidnapped. Deimos had taken me away. He looks for people like me. People with abilities. Mutants."
As she says this, she shudders a bit, as if she is reliving the experience of being kidnapped.
"Why? What would he want with mutants?" Hanji asks.
(F/N) gulps harshly, as she says, "Experiments. He was trying to create a mutant. He would harvest the abilities of mutants, and would put them into this.....this corpse-like body."
"How would he 'harvest' these abilities from mutants?" Gunther asks.
Before (F/N) could reply, Nassir interrupts.
"In order to harvest the abilities of a mutant, he would need to take them away. But, that comes with a severe consequence."
"How so?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
This time, (F/N) explained.
"The body of a mutant, is a bit different then a human's. You see, a mutant's body is adapted to their abilities, and by taking that away, the body can no longer function normally, and thus, will kill the mutant."
A few cadets gasped, while others had a bit of a dark look in their eyes.
"Before Deimos could take my abilities away, aniki saved me. I was lucky, unlike the others." She says darkly.
"Others?" Gunther questions.
"There were at least five other mutants there, some no older than eight or nine years old, while others were in their mid to late teens." (F/N) explains.
"Why didn't you use your abilities to escape?" Armin asks.
"I don't know. Deimos injected something into me, making me unable to use my abilities. I presume it was the same with others." She explains, looking down.
"He is the true definition of the term 'monster'. I don't know what he's planning on doing with the corpse-like being housing all those different abilities, but, all I know is that he can't do it. Not without my abiliy. So, I've been in hiding. Trying to avoid him at all cost." She says, her voice trembles, almost unnoticeable.
"Why didn't you tell us this before?" Erwin asks, the first thing he said, while the story was being told.
"I didn't want to cause an uproar about this. For the past few years, aniki and I, have been looking for other mutants, trying to help them to hide from Deimos, and how to better control their abilities." (F/N) explains.
"I see. So, the question is what are we going to do now? By what I heard from Levi, he already spotted you." Erwin says.
"I don't know. But, if he comes anywhere near here. I will do what is necessary." She says, looking down, her hair obscuring her eyes.
"And, what would that be?" Eld asks.
"I will have to kill him. That is the last thing I want to do, but he is a threat not only to me, but possibly to humanity as well." (F/N) says, refusing to look at anyone.
"Then, we will look further into this. If he is doing experiments with other mutants, by harvesting their abilities, then this could be more serious then I originally thought." Erwin says, getting up, before leaving.
No one said anything, as they too, got up and left.
Nassir looked at (F/N), before looking back at me, before scowling.
He leaned down, and whispered so that only I could hear, "If I find out that you made her cry, I'll be sure to make you bawl like a fucking baby."
I simply clicked my tounge as he left.
"I'm sorry, Levi." (F/N) suddenly apologizes.
"For what?" I ask.
"For causing so much trouble." (F/N) says, finally looking up at me.
She looked like she wanted to cry, but she held the tears back.
"Tch, yeah, you cause so much fucking trouble." I say, causing (F/N) to look even more downhearted.
"But-" I continue, causing (F/N)'s head to pick up a bit.
"You aren't too bad, I've known worse troublesome people." I say, looking to the side.
"Like who?" (F/N) mumbles.
"Tch, Yeager, or that stupid overprotective brother of yours." I huff.
(F/N) lets out a soft laugh, I let a small, unnoticeable smile play at my lips.
Suddenly, (F/N) stopped laughing.
"What?" I hiss, the smile dissolving in the process.
"Y-You smiled." (F/N) said, her smile growing larger.
"Tch, did not." I hiss.
"Yes, you did." She says back.
"No." I say.
"Yes." She says.
"No."
"Yes."
"No!"
"Yes!
"Yes!"
"No!" She says.
I smirk in triumph, as I say, "See, you agreed with me."
"Y-You tricked me! No fair!" She whines.
"Stop whining." I say, as I stand up.
"Why should I?" She says.
"Because, you sound like a stupid brat." I say, as I went to leave, but, before I left, I look over my shoulder, as I say, "You should stay happy like that. It cheers the other brats up, and it doesn't make you look shitty."
With that said, I left towards my office, in order to finish my paperwork.
