Duchess of Procrastination
Black raven air had fallen over his steel eyes, as his head was angled down at his lap. He tightened the grip on the horse he had by clamping his knees down on the sides, as he would have hated to fall off, which would result in his reputation being tainted. Even more than it already had. His horse moved at a canter, loosely keeping up with the blonde's mare, far enough for Levi's preferences though close enough to satisfy his captor. His ears picked up on the quiet chatter of some of the soldiers around him, gossiping about the appearances of the Female and Armoured Titans. The dark haired man turned his attention away from the others, simply focusing on what would happen in the near future. Levi closed his eyes, simply resting as he would not want to fall asleep at the time being. As his vision completely blocked out, his mind began to run, showing himself scenes as he daydreamed.

"What do I do, Hange?" A low voice asked, one that belonged to himself. Though Levi wasn't the one speaking out the said sentence, though he seemed to observe the two elites from a different angle. The two soldiers stood directly in front of each other, the woman's figure slightly faded. "Me and Eren are going to be executed. After all of this." The dull eyed male spoke once more, which caused the female to place a hand upon the man's shoulder. "So many lives were lost. And for what? Just so Annie could fulfil her selfish wishes?" He spoke out once again, his head having been staring down at his boots. "Things don't always work out on a first try, Levi. Maybe fate just wanted to be cruel to you, to us all, and see if you're worth giving a second chance." Hange's voice responded after a couple of seconds, a sullen smile upon her colourless lips. Another hand was placed onto the corporal's opposite shoulder, which belonged to a shorter soldier. "Don't ever think about giving up your hope in humanity, Heichou. You must keep fighting. For yourself. For us." A soft feminine voice added, which caused Levi to turn his head up, taking a glance at the lady. "For Eren." Petra finished, a light smile upon her face as the figures of Oluo, Erd, and Gunther seemed to fade into focus around him. The black haired male turned his around, taking a look at the familiar faces that surrounded him. Tears threatened to well up in his usually cold eyes, his hands reaching up to his face.
"I don't want to do this any-more..." Levi admitted, covering his face with his palms to shield his expression of pain and sadness. Silence overtook the room for four seconds or so, before several limbs wrapped around his form at once. Even though the male could barely feel the touch of the soldiers, a sense of warmth settled into his stomach. He could feel Petra's cheek against his shoulder, Hange's hair brushing against his own, Oluo's hesitant yet light touch, Gunther's sturdy grasp, Erd's palm against the back of his head. "We'll always be with you, Levi. Even if it's not physically, we're there." Petra reassured, earning a shaky sigh from the captain. "Yes, we won't forget you so don't forget us." Erd spoke up, a breathy sigh emitting from his lips that fell upon Gunther's arm.
Sobs broke through the silence, Levi hastily attempting to silence himself by biting his bottom lip. "If you ever need help, ask us." Gunther added, all of his fellow soldiers glancing at each other with sorrow clear in their eyes. "After all, a captain deserves loyal subordinates." Oluo eventually stated, attempting to look somewhat displeased by the group hug. The fallen soldiers' eyes shut slowly, simply allowing their corporal to weep in silence.

A sudden jerk of his small form brought him back to reality, as well as causing his head to shoot back upwards. The blonde who was leading his horse was grabbing onto the male, transporting him off the steed. He grunted as his stallion was reluctantly lead away from him, as Onyx seemed to keep wanting to look back at it's owner. The dark haired male was placed onto his feet, though large hands remained gripping onto his shoulders to direct him in the right direction. Levi walked forward, a dark expression upon his face as he headed away from the groups of soldiers. The man who was holding him in place seemed to stare at the black haired male, as they walked towards where Levi would be confined in. "What the hell are you looking at." The shorter male's dull voice forced out, ignoring the fact that he could feel dry tears on his cheeks. The man let out something that sounded vaguely similar to a huff mixed with a breathy sigh. "I've wanted to meet you one day. But I never expected it to be due to an event like this." He responded, his voice in a quiet tone so only the elite could hear him. "My name's Jack, if you were wondering." The blonde added, turning his head up and away from the darker haired man's face. "I wasn't and probably never would have." Levi replied, seeming almost bored to death as he was listening to the other male speak. Both heads turned at the sound of a pained cry.
Metal eyes narrowed at the almost familiar sound, jerking his figure forward. The soldier's grasp on him only tightened, though did nudge the smaller man forward towards the source of the sound as Levi needed to be somewhere in that area. He strode forward, forcing the younger male behind him to pick up the speed to prevent the man from running off. Once the titan-shifter was in view of Levi, he growled at the sight of a blade slicing into the boy's leg. A couple of men had gathered up at the spot where Tegan was standing, though was waiting for the corporal instead. A look of murder crossed the black haired male's eyes as he stared at the one armed soldier. His attention swiftly returned to the movement of Jack, as the male had knelt down in-front of him. The blonde man unclipped the gas mechanisms from the older male's thighs, removing the weapons he wielded. He had left the straps, as it would be too troublesome to remove them as well. Three soldiers stepped towards the raven haired man, one of them pushing Jack aside. "Leave the next part to us, Jackie." The male stated, causing the said soldier to frown heavily at his nickname. They began to place their calloused hands over Levi's figure, causing the elite to twitch and hiss at the action. "The f*** are you idiots doing." He grumbled out, sending glares at each of the trio. "Pat-down inspection. Can't have you owning any weapons now." One of them answered, as Levi couldn't care less about their identities. The male, who received an answer, grunted in disapproval. The blonde from earlier seemed to be watching, standing at the side of the small group.
"Now, is the main part." The tallest of the three started, standing at thirty-five centimetres above Levi. "A strip search." The other two informed, causing the black haired male to widen his eyes in horror / shock / disgust / rage.
The elite's expression darkened in a heartbeat, his features growing even sterner is possible. "You pigs lay your hands on me one more time, I will beat you to death." Levi threatened, even though his hands and arms were immobilized. They simply scoffed, one of the group grabbing onto the dark haired male's shoulders. "I wouldn't threaten us if I were you." He stated, before his comrades reached forward for his jacket and belt.
A leg swung up, the leather boot colliding in-between the tallest male's legs. The man let out a pained yell, stumbling back as his legs threatened to give out. The same leg smashed into another man's stomach, causing him to release the smaller soldier's form. Before the third male could react, Levi brought his leg up, crushing the other's face with the sole of his boots, which broke his nose. The male fell back onto his backside, joining the man from earlier. The only one left standing was the soldier who had endured a kick to the torso. He swung a fist at Levi, who simply shifted his upper half to the left. The two would repeat the action several times, the man attempting to punch the raven haired male, while he would dodge each time. Levi shifted his weight onto his right leg, outstretching his other leg back before swinging it around in a semi-circle, knocking the man off his feet. He stepped forward to finish the three off, before another pair of hands grasped onto his shoulders.
"Guys, I don't think that end part was really necessary. You didn't find any weapons from the pat-down and his arms are stuck in the same position, so he wouldn't be able to use any daggers or anything like that." Jack's voice stated, as he directed the corporal away from the three figures who were currently attempting to climb back onto their feet. The trio let out several groans and grumbles, as well as some curse words directed to each other. Levi breathed out, almost in relief as he was able to prevent any action like that from happening. His gladness vanished in a second as he laid eyes upon a small, cage-like cell. Jack kept a hand on the other's shoulder, as he moved forward and unlocked the cell door. He pushed the male into the area, closing the only exit out of it once the elite was fully inside. Levi had to hunch over to fit into the minuscule "box", which eventually resulted in him sitting down against the back of the room. There was about five centimetres above his head once he settled down, though his legs couldn't fully stretch out.
