Thread: Fight for Humanity ;; shyone and flux

If was that Charles noticed her anger or simply didnt care, either way the man didnt react to it as he was more concerned with watching all around him for all available escape routes. Something told him that he wouldnt be able to stay among these people much longer given they had plans to keep him incarcerated in a system that was scared of outsiders. He also knew that the deeper he was drug into that system then the harder it would be to get out. Even with that monster of a man nearby he was still willing to take the risk if he had to. The area did lack in tall trees, and from what he had seen of Shenas maneuver gear a lack of tall things would limit their ability to utilize the gear to chase him quickly. So an escape on horseback might be best with that in mind he found his thoughts interrupted whenever they reached headquarters and Mikasa spoke to him again, To be honest you make it sound like I shouldnt trust you guys either. Given what you are saying I can expect to looked at as an oddity given I am outsider and so in the worst case scenario these military police might even make me disappear. One the last word he waved his hands in front of his face with a playful laugh, before she mentioned something about a wall that was attacked, Maybe that was the place where I came through on my way here, you know this whole experience might be just as education for me as it for you guys. I just hope I dont end up paying the price for simply asking Shena for her help. Even if I did come from the outside and what you say is true about the horrible attack that humanity has suffered, that still doesnt make it right to punish me for something I didnt do. I wasnt involved with it after all, and so blaming me doesnt bring back the dead. It was after he had said this that he had put his arm around her, surprised a bit at how long it took the girl to react, but in a way he had wished she hadnt. Human closeness after all was one of the things that he was curious to experience and it was part of the reason he seemed a little clingy. In fact he was about to use his ten years of being in the wild as an excuse when suddenly he felt the sting of Mikasas hand across his face. Charles wasnt exactly ready for the blow and admittedly had to catch himself slightly His hand rubbing across the cheek which stung from the hit, the male looked up at Mikasa with a guilty look on his face. The jolly creature that was there before had been replaced with something which actually seemed like it had come from an experience outside the walls for 10 years. Those eyes were tried and worn out, desperate for human contact, and maybe even a slightly bit confused in some way, Forgive me Mikasa, it has just been so long I couldnt even remember what it felt like to be close to someone. Surviving those younger years of my life with no human affection, scared and alone I guess I just got a little carried away whenever I held you in my arms like that. However I dont think you have to worry about me getting killed. Then strangely enough something about Charles change as though his whole aura or body language gave off the killing intent of a predator as he leaned in and whispered to Mikasa, Because the only person whom sparks a remote bit of fear in me among you people here, is that monster over there you call Captain Levi. As for the rest, you are just a bunch of adorable sheep to this old wolf. Then in an instant it seemed like the mans threaten nature was gone as he walked in the direction of the headquarters with an eye on a horse which was positioned just right for him to make his getaway whenever the moment was right. --- The outsider as Shena described him seemed like a curious piece of work to Eren, though there were a few details that stuck out to him. His claim that he had survived out there for so long seemed very suspicious, and made the young man wonder how the outside could have pulled it off. In fact doing so and knowing so little about what went on in the walls made things even worse. Rubbing his chin there was another detail that Shena was giving him that Eren felt was even more important to this story than the strangers ability to survive. It was the wounds on his hands, something about the wounds on his hands seemed so familiar that he felt like he should be able to grasp why this detail was important. The reason was on the tip of his tongue and he probably could have gotten figured out in an instant had Armin been here, but his friend wasnt and just before he began to look down at his own hands and had a lightbulb moment the actions between Charles and Mikasa distracted him prompting him to react. Fine Mikasa, but if he lays his hands on you again, then so help me and dont think hiding behind her like that now is going to get you anywhere. It was almost as if the stranger was just trying to push his buttons as he whispered something in Mikasas ear and walked right by Eren with a flirtatious wave back at the angry young man. Taking a deep breath the male tried to calm down, but was finding it hard to given how Charles was acting over the situation, They are right you know Charles, things have been getting tense around here lately and frankly you have chosen the worse time to show up. I get that you may have had it rough at the hands of the Titans, but we all have and so that doesnt give you a reason to act the way you are. That was all he was going to say on the matter as he walked over to were Mikasa was standing so that he could put himself in between in her and the stranger slightly. Charles was looking from Shena, to Mikasa, and then to Eren and then back to Mikasa. In a way he felt surrounded like a cornered animal. His own social naivety had led to some of his trouble, but he had thought he could trust Shena to take care of him. It seemed that he was wrong about this. Sighing softly the man pushed his hair back out of his face and made a slight step in the general direction of the horse. Thinking about possibly going along with what they wanted him to do still, but when those doors opened and Erwin stepped out with that predator of a man Levi beside him. That was the last straw that broke the camels back on what one could call Charles more animalistic instincts. With another slight step towards the unattended horse, the man replied firmly to the Commander, No, I dont think I will be going anywhere with you. I have done no crime and will not be put in chains. I am no monster, at least not anymore that much I know. With those words swiftly pulled a trench knife out that had been hidden in his boot and all in the same flowing movement he cut the leather that kept the horse tied up and landed on its back as he took off. His face cringing at the pain of landing too hard on his groin, the male kicked at the animals sides making it charge off as Charles tried to do what he could to put some distance between himself and the humans the last thing he wanted was to hurt someone when he transformed. It was those words that gave Eren the mental spark which he had lacked only moments before. Causing him to look down at his hands and remembering the words that Shena said, as well as those Charles had spoken to the Commander. He had an idea now what the man was up to... he had an idea why he was trying to get away on that horse... and better yet he had an idea what Charles really was and how he had survived for so long outside the wall. Turning to Mikasa and Shena with a stunned look on his face he said, Guys... I think he is like me. That man he is like me. He is trying to get away so that he has a chance to turn into a Titan. Wait, but did that mean that this man was possibly the Armored Titan... or the Colossal Titan? Having gotten inside the wall and was now looking for a chance to break it open from a different route?
