Chapter 60

*3rd Pov*

[Alright, lets head back now.] said Gunther. All of them got on their horses and began to ride once again to where some of the 104th cadets were training at. Eren and Alex put their horses back into the stables and then arrived next to Olou. Eren spots Mikasa and Armin walking somewhere.

[Th-thats... Sir, may I go talk with my classmates?] questioned Eren to Olou who was drinking something

[Get going...] he said

[Hey, Mikasa! Armin! Kaguya!] said Eren while running to them. Alex walked behind Eren.

[Eren..] said Mikasa while suddenly turning around. Kaguya and Alex just nod at each other.

[Feels like its been a long time!] said Eren happily

[Eren, did they do anything bad to you? Like investigating every square inch of you? Or psychological torture?] said Mikasa in a worried tone. Jean in the back seemed to have left his body.

[No way.] said Eren. Mikasa suddenly adopted a terrifying expression.

[That short guy went too far. Someday, I'll see him pay for it.] said Mikasa

[You don't mean Captain Levi, do you?] said Eren in a terrified voice. The group does some idle talk until Eren sees the rest. Connie, Bertolt, Reiner, Sasha, Christa (Historia), plus a few others.

[But if you're here, then... That doesn't mean you joined the Survey Corps, does it?] questioned Eren

[Us there any other reason we'd be here?] questioned Connie

[Yeah, if you killed those 2 titans, if you were in some kind of trouble, if you were going to be tortured and interrogated, there are many reasons why you could be here, Connie.] said Alex

[As cold as ever..] he replied

[So only Jean, Annie, and Marco joined the Military Police?] questioned Eren. Jean was visible in the background though, so that ruled him out.

[No way... Not you, too!] said Eren in surprise while seeing Jean.

[Marco's dead.] said Jean

[What was that? Did you say Marco's dead?] questioned Eren

[Seems not everyone gets a dramatic death. I don't even know how he died. He died without anyone knowing, or anyone seeing.] said Jean

'I feel like a side character here, not talking that much... I guess I'll leave the cliche things to these guys. I have other things to do. Like... shit, I have nothing to do. I mean, there is an expedition coming up. But that's coming up. No matter, I'll just think of it later.' Thought Alex with a sigh. He looked up again and saw that the team had just gotten their capes.

[Yeah, so dramatic.] said Alex while rolling his eyes. A few coughs were heard before they were directed underground.

[So Eren, why didn't you turn into a titan earlier and save people in Trost district?] questioned Jean

[He was injured.] said Mikasa

[I wasn't talking to you.] said Jean, causing Mikasa to shut up.

[Im not sure when I even had this power..] said Eren

[If you didn't even know about this power, then that means you don't have any control in it. I'm assuming this is the same for you, Alex?] questioned Jean

[Yes, that's right.] said Eren. Alex decided to not interfere, as he wanted to have a card up his sleeve. Jean sighs before continuing.

[Did you hear that? This is the situation. Humanity and our lives depend on them. We'll probably die just like Marco, without Eren or Alex ever realizing it.] said Jean. Mikasa was about to intervene, but Alex decided.

[Who said that we wouldn't know? I perfectly knew of Marco's death, but I didn't mention it. Tell me, would Marco want you to be complaining about this? The reason why he died was because he was incompetent. He wasn't good enough, Jean. Not everyone is born equal. Be it short or tall, fat, or thin. No one is equal. That is why we keep moving forward, instead of staying still and sobbing after everything.] said Alex while grabbing Jean's collar. He didn't mean the part about Marco being incompetent, but he couldn't upright reveal what the 3 Marleyan, otherwise, they would most likely die. The underground area they were in was about 20 meters high, with Reiner's titan being 15 meters. They could instantly turn into a titan and take Eren and Alex away.

[What do you know?! Have you seen actual deaths?! Have you seen bodies burn up into ash?! You are talking about equality, yet you have an advantage, so you know nothing!] screamed out Jean while moving Alex's hand away and grabbing his collar.

[Ive seen many deaths, that would topple the amount you will see in your entire life. Don't compare myself to your horse-ass face.] said Alex while looking into hor-Jean's eyes without emotion. Jean unconsciously took 3 steps back in fright. Backed off in shame, he went to a different area of the group, but still in the vision of them.

[Anyways, when is the expedition?] questioned Alex

[In 2 days.] said Armin. Alex nodded and left the group.

- The Next Day -

[When you see a flare, turn into a titan!!] screamed out Hange from outside a well that Alex was in. After a few seconds, he saw it, and immediately bit his wrist. Blue lightning struck him, turning him into his normal 15-meter titan.

[Wow!! This is a titan?!] said Hange while touching the clearly stuck Alex. Alex opened his mouth and spoke some words.

[Get.... me... out... of... well..] said Alex, just barely. Hange didn't listen, and screamed even louder in excitement. Alex just sighed and exited his titan, jumping on top of it and back onto land.

[Hey!! Why did you get out?!] screamed out Hange. Alex grabbed her and threw her away, and then bit his wrist again, transforming himself into a titan again. This time, however, he decided to do 10 meters instead of the casual 15, to show that there is a Stamina loss doing this.

[Wait, why are you shorter?] questioned Hange. Alex pointed to his neck and made a cutting motion, to show that he couldn't speak. Hange understood and started to ask him questions.

[Can you hear me?] she questioned. Alex nodded his head.

[Can you speak?] questioned Hange. Alex shook his head.

[Ok then, build me a house!] said Hange. Alex nodded and grabbed a nearby tree and started to cut it. He continued this a few times until he struck them into the ground. He grabbed the rope he was provided with, and started to add more and more wood. At mid-day, he had finished his house.

[Can you chop off your arm?] said Hange. Alex looked at her weirdly before nodding. He raised his left hand and chopped his right hand. In his titan form, that is.

[Do you feel any pain?] questioned Hange. Alex showed an unsure expression, so Hange changed the question.

[Is it a lot of pain?] questioned Hange. Alex shook his head. It was like smacking his arm. It hurt, but was bearable.

[Alright, that's enough for today!] said Hange. Alex nodded and moved away a bit before getting out of his titan form. He only had a white shirt on, with marks around his eyes, stretching down his cheeks.

[So, how was it?] questioned Hange

[Its not bad. But I wasn't able to turn into my 15-meter titan since I had just used it. I can't just simply turn into a titan an infinite amount of times, but I can turn into a titan a few times, with the height decrees.] said Alex. Hange nodded.

[Any side-affects?] questioned Hange. Alex shook his head.

[Besides the marks around my eyes, none.] said Alex

[Also, why was the lightning that struck you blue? From reports, it said that Eren's was orange. Is it just a unique thing?] questioned Hange

[Im not sure either. But all I know is that it is usually an orange color, meaning that I probably have something special with me.] said Alex. Hange nodded in understanding.

[Alright, crew! Lunchtime! Inside the house!] said Hange

'I should be careful with my words from now on. I had just hinted that there were other titan shifters since I said usually.. hopefully she didn't pick it up with her 11/10 intelligence..'
