5 Becoming a part

Erwin shook his head to show that he is pleased. Now he had to discuss with his trusted friends and decide if you could be usefull for them. Although he considers Zane as a capable soldier who plays by the rules, your response to the autorithy makes him question how he could use you. As Zane guessed he isnt a person who can use people directly or threat them like a dog or servant. But Zane's actions and answers to your question showed him that she acts accourding to the orders which she learned her time with the Duke. Duke Alston had the repetution of a cruel person who is nutrious of his two swords so Erwin considers her actions as normal. He spoke after a short break.

"Zane you will be escourted to a room in this floor. We will discuss and tell you our answer whether you will be a part of Survey Corps..... You can sit there and wait us. It should take long." He added remembering your actions when she entered the room. Zane stood up and saluted three of them and turned and left the room. Erwin turned to Levi knowing that he would be pissed and angry.He asked calmly

" What do you think Levi? Can she be used?" Levi turned . His face shocked Erwin who was waiting a pissed Levi but he couldnt see any clue of anger. Instead Levi had a small smirk and a strange ligth in his eyes. He walked towards the chair he stood up and spoke at the same time

" She is different. We can use her but she is used to have a master. We need to be careful with her transition from a dog to a soldier. Erwin , she sees you as her new master and she even tried to warn you of possibly danger. Her actions including her speech and figthing is precise and clean. If she can kill Titans as she fought me or Mikasa we now have a great weapon. But ı dont trust her yet. She has nothing to lose and that makes her unpredictable and dangerous. " He stated his thoughts. Hange smilled seeing the similarities between Levi and the girl he jsut called dog. ' Having similar pasts makes them similar i guess?' thought Hange. Erwin turned to Hange as he is curious of her unnormal long silence.

"Hange?" he asked her . Her eyes turned from Levi to Erwin and lighted up with enegry as she started to speak

" I agree Levi. She might be usefull for us. Now that we are going to experiment with Eren's power, she migth be helpful if Eren ever loses his control. But the thing is I think that she taking you as her new master is dangerous Erwin. You are the Commander and if something like before happens we wont be able to control her. We sawa how dedicated she can be when she tried to save that old bastard from 100 soldiers and she was going to do that if it werent for Levi. I dont want to imagine her reaction if you were arrested again. We can affort such an action especially now with all the eyes on us waiting for a mistake" Hange's words were true and Erwin knew it too. He needed some strong but also able to understand her. His decision was clear.

"Levi you are going to be his master for now. You are the only person that ı can trust and could fight her. You also can understand her which makes it easier for us to understand her thought process. I know that you dont like it but this is the right thing to do." Erwin's eyes met Levi's gray emotionless eyes. Levi shook his head showing that he understood him. Looking at the time on the clock next to the bookshelf he sighed and said with an annoyed tone

"Okey ı will take her. I cant let her stay with my squad so she will be staying with me until the next expedition in 4 days. Erwin i will try my best but ıf ı ever sees her betraying us i wont hesitate and kil her" His respond made Hange laugh.

" Are you sure shorty? Although you were able to deadlock her, she got out of it and by the looks you werent winnig that easly as teh usual." Her words made Levi roll his eyes and let a sharp tch out. He ignored her words because knowing that he had to deal with the new brat and his squad were enough to give him a headache. Erwin interrupted befora a fight can break.

" Enoguh Hange. Anyways this is all Levi you may leave." giving Levi a chance to leave which Levi used immidietly. After Levi closed the door Hange turned to Erwin and with a serious tone she asked

"Are you sure Erwin? They are too similar. You know that Levi has an unbreakable loyalty to you." Erwin sighed . He knew the dangers and was fully aware of their high possibilty.

" I have no other choice Hange. She is strong but lacks motivation. She is like a ticking bomb which can kill basicly anyone here with ease. " She shook her head and walked towards the door but stopped before opening it said

" Be carefull. " and look at her friend and advisor whose blond hair was shinning like the sun.

Levi entered the room and found Zane standing near the window looking out. If someone saw her like this would think that she is a normal soldier but in Levi's eyes she was dangerous with a mysterious aura. He could understand why she didnt wanted to tell her real name but stating that that person is dead wasnt normal even for Levi's standarts. She turned to Levi due to her sharp senses. She saluted which made Levi let a sigh out.

" Oi brat. I am your captian from now on. You will get your orders directly from me . Because we cant trust you now you would be staying with me for the next four days when we are going to leave for our expedition. You will train with the squad but other than that you will be next to me. " You shooked your head showing that you understood. So 'they decided to make Levi as her master ' you thought while following Levi. You expected that becuase of Erwin would be suitable because of his character and Hange isnt strong enough fro an emergency. You felt people looking at you and whispering. You knew that the mission for kill the Alston was very important which was the reason there were many people there that day. You guess that the soldiers were talking about you being a guard of an awfull Duke or killing their comrades with little to no mercy. They knew that some criminals were accepted in the Corps and knowing your skills it was normal that they made you one of them too. But this did make them feel uneasy. The whole Corps either saw you fight or heard the rumors and with a short time there were many rumors about your cruel ways of killing or your bloodthurst filled every conversation. Levi acted as if he didnt hear anything but aware of every single one of them. It bother him greatly because just like you he had a similar past which made him embarresed each breath he took. Fortunatly his office was close by so he didnt have to listen to the empty words of the cadets aroudn him. He opened the door and step in leaving the door open for Zane. You followed him like you are a baby duck and he is your mother. He walked to his desk and said

"The lunch break is going to end shortly but ı need to make a few things clear. I dont intend treating you like a dog. We have no place in Survey Corps for dogs. If you arent do the simple actions without orders leave immidealty. I will train with you to see your technique and see if you be usefull for us. I will also order Mikasa and Armin to be your guides and explain everything. I dont have time to deal with you." You shooked your head.

' So he will join us training. But why ? He was you figth two times.' you thought adn tried to come up with possibilities. And you could understand from his words that he doesnt want a puppet that he could make it do anything. ' Interesting. I thought he would enjoy having the whole power to himself' but when you considered his past which made the possibilty of him being a dog in the past made you realize that he hated such people. You made a mental note and listened to him.

"I hope that you understand. We will be leaving in 20 minutes." He said and turned to his paperwork which was like a small mountain on his desk. Unlike your normal self you sat on the couch and looked around . Levi's room was on the west wing and compared to Erwin's office is was smaller but had two big windows. However Levi's room felt as if it had no soul where Erwin's had clues about his personality. It was filled with books , maps and charts which suggested you that he spend the majority of his time there. You could also point the furniture that Erwin personally bought and places which had a different style compared to the usual boring design of the furniture of the HQ. But Levi's room was cold and had nothing personal. You felt the faint smell of the cleaning products as you walked in. ' He should be cleaning regurarly.' you thought as you saw the fainting colour of the couchs. Although you were shocked to learn that Levi's room wasnt closer to Erwin you remembered that the west wing has the easiest exit so it meant that Levi could leave and comeback without any problems. ' Interesting' . While you were scanning every single detail and pretending to not sense Levi looking at you occasionaly to guess what you are thinking you stayed still.

Levi was shocked to see her act less doggy and more human like once he finished his sentence. Seeing that she tried to understand what he meant and where the line was drawn, he smiled for a second and continued his work. He knew that you were scaning everything and trying to understand him more. Knowing from his own experiences it was important to have her to get the place know. She was a stranger without any connection so he had to give her a place where she could feel safe. ' This is what Erwin did with me' he remembered. 5 Years ago you were accepted in the Survey COrp and Erwin was in the same place you were in. Levi remembered everything. Noone believed or trusted him while Erwin tried to be unbiased while nor forgeting each and every possiblity. Levi sighed and stood up. He knew that he had to do the same with her because he owed that to Erwin. Zane turned to him. Levi looked at her eyes. They were as cold and as dark as a winter night.

' Lets see if you are worth it' thought Levi while taking a step forward. Seeing her master move you stand up. He stoped in front of you and looked directly into your eyes.

"lets go. Dont forget to behave" he said coldly. You followed him as he walked towards the training place where the same group you saw while fighting Mikasa was there. You were rigth that they were your squad. You tried to read the atmosphare but didnt sensed anything bad. You sensed Levi getting more annoyed with each step and took that he disliked spending time with people and his squad was mostly consisted of bubbly and loud characters.

Levi stopped in front of them.

"Oi brats. This is Zane Connor. She was the soldier on the Duke Mission. From now on she is a part of this squad so behave accourdingly. Mikasa and Armin you both will be responsible of her and explain everything. I dont want a clueless cadet in my squad. Now the training will be starting now. You guys can get closer after that." he said in an annoyed tone with autority drippng from each word.

" Lets start"
