"Mikasa! Mikasa! Lets try this bar." Sasha said excitedly.

"Uhh I don't know it looks preety dull."

"Come on stop being a kill joy, Jean isn't here so we can drink and you flirt with some guys, then we can all leave." Annie stated.

"Ahhh fine, might as well make the most of our trip", Mikasa replied finally giving into her friends request.

They entered the pub, then went to the bar and ordered a pint each. The atmosphere in the pub was quite relaxed it is was overall quite enjoyable. As Sasha looked around she spotted some potential targets and dragged Mikasa and Annie over to the single guys. They struck up conversation, Annie and Sasha were having fun but Mikasa was quickly getting bored of the guys she was talking to.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we will have some live entertainment so without further adieu here is a first act."

Mikasa looked over to the small stage and saw a man with long brown hair tied in a bun, judging from a distance Mikasa reckoned he was around six foot tall, give or take an inch. She could not make out his facial features as the glare from the strobe lights was quite blinding. However he was wearing a pair of black sunglasses, which was weird considering it was 10pm and they were indoors.

He cleared his throat then began to sing with an entrancing voice.

He received a loud applause when he ended. He cleared his throat of his next song and went on for a few songs after than.

"Mikasa, you keep on staring at that guy singing."

"Hmmm, oh sorry did you say something Sasha?"

"Yeah you keep on staring at the singer."

"Ah yeah perhaps I am, he just reminds me of... oh never mind I'm just being silly."

"Come on Mikasa, you can tell me anything no matter how silly it is you know that."

"Aha I know, well truth be told his voice reminds me of Eren........ I miss him." Mikasa admitted with a sigh.

"I'm sure Eren is fine Mikasa, I'm sure hes alive and loving life."

"It's just he's been my best friend since we were 6, he was always there for me whenever I needed him. Armin has been with us the entire time too and we're just about as close as to people can be...... but it's just not the same........ I'll admit it, I never imagined a life without Eren and I know I could have handled the situation with Jean so much better than I did."

"You sound like you regret going out with Jean."

"Oh no I don't regret going out with him, he's been great. I mean we fight more than I'd like since we moved in together and he likes alcohol a little much but he was there for me in highschool while I had a hard time getting over someone and he was no nice."

"Mikasa was hooked on a guy? Wait no.. nahhhh that's just wishful thinking."

"Well I guess if your happy then that's good"

"This really is a beautiful song isn't it" Sasha said to break the silence.

"Yeah I guess so."

As the night went on the three friends started talking to a different set of guys, drinking their worries away, as several new performers came and went.

"Sasha where are you going."

"Oh I'm just going to the toilet"

Sasha got up and left and finally located the restroom. Right as she entered she was grabbed from behind and pinned against the wall by a set of strong hands, she didn't scream as she couldn't find her voice but she was taking breaths to calm herself in case she had an opening.

"You guys just up and left us for a bunch of losers, you were flirting with all of us then left. Do you know how sad that made me feel, oh well that's in the past now lets just focus on the future." Sasha couldn't put a face to the voice but it reeked of alcohol.

Sasha felt his grip slightly loosen as the male tried turning her around, she took this opportunity to capitalize and punched him in the gut then headbutt his nose flat, causing it to bleed profusely.

"You fucking bitch, your gonna pay for that" the bloodied male quietly said with rage as he moved towards Sasha again pushing her into the wall and punching her stomach. He then moved away too look at the Sasha knelling over in pain as he pulled out a knife.

Sasha looked up in horror as the male advanced on her.

"Put the knife down" a disembodied voice said.

"Oh your the first guy who sung right. Trying to be a tough guy huh, in case you haven't noticed I have a knife."

"So?" the brown haired man sarcastically replied as he pulled out his phone.

"Ha pussy, you calling the cops because you can't face me like a man."

"Ah hello, yes I'd like to call an ambulance, just one and tell the paramedics that they will be treating a male with two broken limbs, five cracked ribs, a punctured lung, internal bleeding and a flat as a pancake nose."

"Fuck you!"

The brown haired man then gave the operator the address of the pub and then proceeded to cause all of the injuries he listed. Sasha watched in awe at this display of fighting prowess (expect for the flat nose, Sasha was responsible for that and she was proud of it) and left him on the floor as he proceeded to check up on the brunet who was on all fours breathing heavily. In the fight the man did manage too receive a large cut across his chest and loose his sunglasses.

"You alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine thanks he just punched me in the stomach so there wont be any bruising, I may just hurt a lot tonight and tomorrow and how did you know what was going on"

"Well that's good to hear and I saw him enter the ladies restroom after you and he didn't come out... so all this happened." the man said with a smile while waving his hands around.

"I'm glad your safe Sasha...... oh shit."

"Wait how did you know my name?" Sasha asked as she looked up and saw a familiar smile and set of emerald green eyes, she then instinctively wrapped her arms around Eren's neck.

"Eren its so good to see you" Sasha said as tears of joy flooded out.

"Likewise Sasha, likewise."

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm on a holiday from work."

"What do you do?"

"Oh, I just go oversea's and keep people safe."

"Great description, anyway come with me. Mikasa is here and she would love to see you." as Sasha grabbed Eren by the hand and started to pull him along.

"SASHA Wait, I don't want to see her." Eren replied, metaphorically putting his foot down.

"Oh yeah sorry, I was being insensitive there got ahead of myself." Sasha replied with a frown.

"Well, I need to get going"

"Yeah me too, I'll get Annie and Mikasa to leave too."

They both headed out of the restroom and turned so their backs faced each other.

"Sasha"

"Hmmm?"

"It was good seeing you."

"Take care Eren."

Sasha smiled as she listened to Eren's familiar footsteps walk away.

"Eren!" Sasha said as Eren turned around, "we all miss you."

Eren then gave her a small smile and left out the back door. Sasha then went over to her friends and convinced them it was time to leave.

Eren walked out the back door of the bar into the backstreets.

"What the fuck happened to you Yeager, I thought you were only singing for your free time?"

"Nothing short stack."

"Tch....that's captain Levi to you" Levi said jokingly, "anyway here's the mission brief." he followed up with a sigh, handing a document over to Eren.

"104th squadron "WINGS" your mission....(should you choose to accept it)......blah.....blah.......blah....ohhhhh extraction mission this, are we leaving now?"

"Yeah get ready, I'll give a full rundown to you and the rest of the squad on the way."
