"A kid?" The person said and Levine growled, glaring intenser.

"I'm 19," he stated, annoyed as the person clicked his tongue and turns to Erwin.

"So you want this brat to join my squad?" He asked Erwin while still staring at Levine. Erwin nodded and decided to introduce the two to each other.

"Levi, this is Levine," Levi raised his thin eyebrow at Erwin as if expecting him to say something.

"Levine?"

"Just Levine. I grew up alone not knowing my family," Levine said, lying about his surname. Before he went up to the surface, Levine told Erwin and Hange to conceal his surname for an unknown reason and they gladly obliged.

"Well, bad for you," Levi said with no trace sympathy or anything. Just plain blank.

"And Levine, this is  Lance Corporal Levi Ackerman," Levine's eyes slightly widened at his last name, but he regained his composure and stayed still, "He will be leading you in the squad we have put you in."

Levine thought it is all a coincidence, but maybe not and Erwin planned this. And just who is this Levi Ackerman? What's his connection with him?

"I don't remember agreeing with this," Levi said, crossing his arms and glaring at Erwin. Levine rolled his eyes and crossed his arms together.

"And I don't remembered obliging to any conditions," Levine said imitating Levi. Or maybe it's just his similar attitude. Levi turned to him with narrowed eyes, eyeing him slightly. For someone with a small body who lived Underground he looks healthy and muscular. He could be useful, but his attitude's the problem. He kinda reminds him of someone.

As if on cue, there was a knock on the door and Erwin said to come in. The door behind Levine opened and a blonde woman came in.

"Erwin, Hange's trying to..." As the woman face the three men inside the room, she stopped at her mid-sentence, especially when Levine turned to her. She's a small woman with short blonde hair and green eyes. She also have a nasty glare in her eyes that says back off, but over all she looks beautifully stunning, "Erwin, why is there two Levis in the room? Am I hallucinating?"

"There are no other Levis. This boy here is Levine, the new recruit and he'll be joining you and Levi in your squad," Erwin told her and the woman eyed Levine closely, making the latter blush. Well, this is the first time a woman came close to him so it's new for him. There are not much female thugs Underground.

"He looks a lot like Levi. Only younger," the woman said and flicked Levine's forehead. Levine noticed the ring on her ring-finger and his eyes widened. This woman is married? With whom? Not that he's interested or anything, but can a Survey Corps soldier marry in a very dangerous lifestyle?

"So you're saying, I'm old?" Levi asked and the woman turned to him and put her hands on her hips.

"We're both 29 and he's a teenager, Levi," the woman said plainly and turned to Erwin, "Anyway, Hange's trying to get me on a experiment again. Tell her off."

Lavine blushed at her attitude. He never thought that a woman can be this fierce and rude towards a man, not to mention a superior. All the women Underground seem timid and scared all the time and a woman at her caliber is rare. She seems attractive somehow.

"This is the third time this week, isn't it?" Levi asked and the woman huffed in annoyance. Levine stared at them. He thought that soldiers are suppose to be disciplined and they respect their superior, but these other two just do things unrespectful right in front of their commander. This quite amuses him. He started wondering what the other soldiers are like.
