Fighting For Freedom (AOT X Reader)

- Introduction -

The setting will take place four years after the end of Season One, making Eren, Mikasa, and Armin around the age of 19.

It had been a few weeks since you had joined the Survey Corps, to which you were moved into your barracks room that you had to yourself, since everyone else was already situated by the time you had arrived. You didn't have much of a backstory in comparison to your comrades; there was no sob story to tell. You never met your parents, but you were told they died by thugs when you were little. This fact never seemed to bother you though, so you basically raised yourself on the streets, and later found out how talented you were at planning, thievery and stealth. Somehow through all of that, you joined the military and now here you were, unpacking your things and putting on your uniform, paying extra special attention to the harnesses.

Your name was Y/N L/N, and unlike your younger comrades, you were twenty-three years old. You hadn't been very social through your first few weeks on the campus of HQ, considering most of your time was dedicated to catching up on training. You were a competitive son of a bitch, and you would be damned  if anyone was able to defeat you in combat. Anyone except Mikasa Ackerman though; although you barely knew her, you respected her enough to know she was one who should not be challenged.

Suddenly, a knocking came at your door, and as you quickly looked your uniform over to make sure it was presentable, you opened your wooden entrance. It opened with a rather cringey creeeeaaaaaaaakkkkk which caused you to wince, then focus on your visitor.

"Yes?" you asked the person who stood before you, who seemed to be a rather petite girl. She had blonde hair that went just a little below her shoulders, and with pale blue eyes that rivaled the sky.

"Hello there, are you Y/N L/N by any chance?" she asked with a kindhearted smile.

"Yeah, that would be me..." you furrowed your brow in confusion. "Whatcha' need?"

"Oh, well, nice to meet you!" she smiled as she shook my hand. "I'm Krista Lenz, I'm in the dorm next to you down there." she said as she pointed in the direction of her dorm.

"Oi, Krista! Will ya' hurry up? I'm hungry as shit!" A voice yelled, and soon enough you saw a rather tall girl stride up to Krista with her hands on her hips. Her dark brown hair was parted and slightly disheveled as it was put into a short ponytail, and her freckles made her grey eyes more noticeable.

Krista sighed as she pointed to the tall girl. "And this is Ymir, she's my dorm-mate."

"Can we go now? Did you deliver the message yet?" Ymir asked, tapping her foot, and you could tell she was obviously  impatient.

"Oh right!" Krista's eyes widened as if she remembered something, and then turned back to me. "I was told to relay this message to you: you've been placed in Squad Leader Hanji's squad, and since she's one of your supervisors, she's asked me to tell you that she requires your presence as soon as you're able."

"Is that all?" you asked, not at all surprised. After all, you had just started; you would've been more surprised if nobody  had summoned you.

"Technically yes," Krista said, but quickly piped up again. "Oh! Since breakfast starts soon, why don't you sit with us? It'll be nice, right Ymir?"

Said female looked you up and down with a rather harsh look. "Pfft, sure whatever."

"Great!" Krista cheered, but was soon being dragged away by Ymir. "See you then!"

You gave a quizzical look at the odd... couple? Shaking your head, you sighed as you went to go put your H/L hair in a ponytail, ready for the day.

If you go to see Hanji, go to Chapter One.

If you decide to walk around, go to Chapter Two.
