Chapter 11: Prison Life
"Where were you?"

"How did you escape?"

"Why are you -"

"Calm down," Batty hissed, trying to distance herself from the four users crowded around her. "I'll tell you everything." Her friends waited impatiently while she explained her adventure. A confused Eren watched from his cell. "I must be dreaming," he muttered.

"So...your rescue plan was to get arrested?" Mad asked flatly. Batty nodded. "It worked, didn't it?" Niko sighed in exasperation. "Obviously not!" Von just stood there looking hopeless, while Abby had lost interest and was talking to Eren through the dividing bars. They were probably having a fangirl conversation about Levi.

Erwin and Levi showed up eventually, but questioning Eren was their only intention and they all-too-obviously ignored the users. Abby's puppy dog eyes didn't work, nor did Mad's threatening to break down the bars. The commander and corporal left soon after, and another long wait began. "Hanji should be here by now," Batty wailed.

"Did somebody say my name?" an ecstatic voice called. The group sighed in relief. Hanji could very well be their ticket out of here. "I know you're here for Eren, but can we talk to you first?" Niko asked. Hanji was happy to comply. "I can't wait until they decide what to do with you guys! It's so cool how you just appeared here!"

"How do you know about us?" Mad asked suspiciously. Hanji giggled. "We've got two more of you upstairs. A girl who won't stop complaining and a terrified guy with a cat." Abby sighed. "More of them just keep coming. Why haven't you arrested them, too?" Hanji smiled devilishly. "Levi wanted to question them. He seems to like them better because they aren't flirting with him."

Abby scowled.
