Thread: Fight for Humanity ;; shyone and flux

Mikasa found herself leaning somewhat away as the man had leaned in to whisper in her ear. She didnt understand was it meant to be a threat or was it one of his peculiar quirks that came with being stuck outside for so long? She felt the corners of her lips twitching once in recognition, warning or not. When their superiors wandered out of the headquarters, it seemed the mood made an even more drastic change as Charles inched closer and closer to the horse. Turning around so that she was facing the foreigner, she could not try hard enough to keep the man from stealing the horse and taking off on horseback, as clumsy as the action might have been. Levi was already looking in the direction that he had taken off in, readying his gear and taking into the air after him. Even if they did have their gear ready to propel them forward and around at higher places, there werent many that their hooks could latch onto and not much area that they could use to run along and catch up to him. The horse was faster than human feet. Mikasa was skilled, though. We need to stop him, she said in certainty as she heard what Eren said. This was bad. She too propelled herself forward and up into the air, the gear latching onto a nearby building and swinging past it quickly to go to the next. At this rate, it would take a lot of gas out of the canisters along her hips to get her going at a good enough speed to keep up with Charles but she was willing to risk it. She just needed to strike at the first moment possible so that she didnt waste her supplies. Damn she cursed under her breath as she kept her dark eyes on Charles but his figure and the horses were getting away from her. At this rate Briefly looking around her, she noticed that others had followed. The Corporal, Shena, had followed as well, thinking that she might be able to do some damage repair with the already unsteady relationships they held. Mikasa noticed the girl stumble, however and in the next moment, Shena went falling along the wall of a building she had tried to get to. Mikasas eyes widened and she redirected her intentions toward catching her before she slammed against the ground below. Drawing close, she wrapped both of her arms tightly around her, hitting the wall next to them quite hard in the side. The pain racked her hip and her leg as th4e canister dug into her clothes and skin. That hurt, but she was able to clasp onto Shena and keep her from falling down. Unhooking from the side of the building, she landed heavily with the weight of the extra girl with her and slipped her down to the pavement as softly as she was able. Mikasa quickly surveyed the girl, trying to see if it was anything that she really needed to be concerned with immediately before concluding that she had just passed out. Mikasa took to the air again and looked around the rooftops, trying to see where Charles might have gone off to because she had lost sight of him in the time that it took to retrieve Shena. She realized that perhaps this all had been overwhelming for him but he made a worse image of himself for running. --- Shena didnt know how to handle all of this at once. Mikasa had gone and slapped Charles for reasons she had missed from talking with Eren. Charles, its not like that. If you have nothing to hide then- But he was already commandeering the horse at that point. She cursed her quieter tone of voice when speaking to anyone in the world as he rode away, most likely toward the walls again to make an escape. She thought it would be like him because he knew the outlands better than any of them all and wouldnt have repercussions about returning. Stop! She shouted after him, but her voice didnt reach him by that point when he was turning the corner and out of sight. She jumped slightly as the sound of the gas being expelled filled her ears and Mikasa was taking off after Charles, Levi quickly following suit. This was a bad idea but she felt slightly responsible as she also followed them. The canisters she had were less than half full from her previous journey and so it wouldnt take much to run them out. But she hadnt thought that Charles would be a titan shifter or else she thought he would have stayed away from her group unless he wanted inside for a reason. And that really made her feel sick to her stomach. What if she brought in someone who wanted to kill them? Shena felt worse as she landed on the edge of one building and proceeded to leap to the next. Truly, she was in a race to try and get to Charles first to explain why they were being so cautious and perhaps in a way that did not seem that they were already condemning him. Ngh However, as she landed on the next building, her feet began to feel like heavy weights. All at once, her head was swimming and the exhaustion that she had been fending off for the past few days slammed into her. Suddenly she could not keep her footing. Her legs went over the edge of the building and though she attempted to hook onto the wall of the next building to keep going, mind repeating over and over you need to be steady, you need to be steady, it just didnt happen. She found herself blacking out and in the next moment that she was aware, she was on the ground. Shena groaned and sat up, sitting on her knees. She lifted a hand and pressed it to her forehead to brush away messy strands of her brunette bangs away. She still felt like the world was spinning but at least she hadnt cracked her head open on the pavement. She would have to thank Mikasa for that. It just felt like this wasnt going well at all. This is my fault, she sighed in dismay before she tried standing up, leaning her form against the wall in order to steady herself as she got up.
