(Levi's POV)

I have been watching Eren's action carefully while we have been driving. He seems to be completely unfazed by the idea that he killed someone, well something, but it's still killing. It bothers me, and I didn't know if it was because he wouldn't remember what happened or he just didn't care. Most people will at least have some kind of reaction towards learning what they had done, but he seemed to pass it off as though nothing much happened. Maybe I just expect him to freak out; it's happened so much for me, but what is there for him to freak out about anymore? Just within this past week he has learned that he isn't even human, completely, and his best friends were killed. Maybe it isn't that big of a surprise he isn't too freaked out about this.

There was still no set destination, but we knew that we had to go somewhere where we can start processing everything. The angels don't seem to be a problem; which is more than I thought possible. Though it seems that they have their own agenda for Eren. It might be a good idea to learn what their plans for him are before we get too comfortable.

"Levi, is something wrong?" Eren asked in a hushed voice.

"What do you mean?"

"You look bothered by something. Is it because of me?" He kept his voice down. I don't know why; Hanji and Erwin would still be able to hear us. But as always when someone whispers to you it's almost impossible to talk louder than a whisper.

"It's this whole situation that's bothering me." I answered. It was true, that it wasn't just him that had me feeling more than a little unsettled, but it was mainly him. However, I wasn't going to bring that up around him. He probably wouldn't take it very well.

"But this is my fault." He seemed to be telling himself more than saying it to me.

"You can't choose who your parents are, and if they happen to be a demon or not." I tried to make him feel better, but it didn't seem to do much. He was spaced out.

"I guess. Are you-" Eren seemed to be thinking about how to word his question. "Do you think I'm dangerous now?" He finally asked. Should I lie and tell him no? If I do he can still get to my thoughts and figure it out anyways; maybe honesty is the best policy right now.

"I've considered you dangerous since we found out that you weren't completely human." I could sense Hanji giving me a glare through the rearview mirror. "But that doesn't mean that you are going to destroy the world or anything." I tried to finish on a happier note, but it didn't sound very convincing to me or to him.

"I see, I'm sorry to worry you." Was all that Eren said, and that was how the conversation ended. Hanji was still glaring at me every few seconds. What could I say that would make things less awkward? If I don't try and fix things Hanji will force me to go along with one of her 'making friends' plans; which never ended well for me. Normally this would be easy, but I've never had to try and reassure a half demon that easily killed two angels right in front of me before. Not that angels are my favorite thing either.

"Eren." He turned to look at me quicker than I thought he would and it caught me off guard. "Being 'dangerous' doesn't mean you are a bad person. Everyone in this car would be considered dangerous; it just matters what you do with the skills or talents you have." I hope that makes this better. To me it sounded more convincing than what I had told him before, and by his reaction it seemed he found it more convincing as well.

"Thanks." Eren said with a smile, a genuine smile, but I could tell what I was saying wasn't the reason for his smile. Was he in my head again? Or was something else going on inside his head? "You really can be paranoid, can't you. But yes, I am listening to your thoughts, and hearing you stumbling through your explanation really did make me feel better." Eren didn't say it out loud. Instead going against the rules once again and was speaking to me telepathically. By now I was starting to get used to it.

"Dammit Eren."

"What? I knew I wasn't going to get the full truth out of you so I decided that it couldn't hurt to just listen to what you thought of me."

"That doesn't make it okay. Though why didn't you just begin talking to me telepathically?" It was weird having a conversation with someone right next to me inside my head. It wasn't something that should be possible.

"Well I didn't want you to know I was doing this right away, but I would feel guilty if I never told you." Eren confessed. I could feel the corners of my mouth twitch upward.

"Thanks for telling me about it." At least he's being honest; even when he knows what he's doing isn't right.

"Also, I looked at your memory of the events with the angels." Even though he wasn't speaking I could hear the difference in his tone. "I was able to remember what happened; I was so close to losing control, but that makes it worse. I knew what I was doing when I killed them. I was in control of myself at the time."

"Don't worry too much about it. Like Hanji said, you were just trying to protect me." I offered as reassurance. He didn't respond; I didn't know if I should take that as a good sign or not.

We traveled for a long time and no one said anything. It wasn't an awkward silence. It was just one of those silences when no one had anything to say to the others. I only glanced at Eren, but the focused way he was looking out the window told me that he was thinking about something. If only I was able to get into his head like he could to me.

"Oh now I know where we are!" Hanji said happily.

"You mean you didn't before?" Eren questioned automatically.

"Well of course I wasn't lost, but now I think I know where to go. You remember that place we would stay when we wanted to hide from, really everyone?" Hanji asked me. Now I know the place she was talking about. It was as run down as a standing building could be, but it's basement was easy to get to and is more structurally sound than the rest of the building, surprisingly.

"Is it even still there?" It's been a few years since we have been there, but it was out in the middle of nowhere so we could be reassured that we wouldn't be getting any unexpected guests.

"It is." Hanji paused. "Erwin and I have visited that place a few times before." She added sheepishly. Eren and I shared a glance. Maybe we should see if there is another place to go. I'm not sure I want to go there anymore.

"Same." Eren whispered.

"Eren, we have talked about this before." I told him outloud. He jumped and turned to apologize to me. His face was completely red from embarrassment; he probably doesn't even realize he is doing it anymore.

(Eren's POV)

I wasn't really focusing on anything anymore; well other than staying out of Levi's mind. He sounded really mad the last time, but it was really comforting to hear his thoughts. Everything was so weird to me now. It seems as though everyone is trying to use me for something; the demons have a plan for me, the angels have a plan for me. Does Levi and Hanji also have a plan they aren't telling me about? Is this how my life's going to be from now on? Being someone's tool, to do whatever it is they want me to do? That wasn't okay with me, but is there really anything else I could do. I've never been on my own before and have no idea what these angels or demons are capable of. I sighed, and it must have been louder than I thought because Levi questioningly raised an eyebrow.

"Sorry." I mumbled. What am I thinking though? I can't leave Levi. This makes things so much harder!

"What's bothering you?" Levi asked. I jumped a little; not expecting him to realize my inner turmoil.

"I'm just thinking." I responded. Then an idea rushed through my head like a freight train. With all of these powers I have shouldn't I be able to learn about these angels and demons in a blink of an eye?

"About what?" Levi interrupted my thoughts. If only I can learn about them then maybe I can figure out what they want to use me for and find a way for Levi and I to get away from them. I can do this! "Eren?"

"What?" I looked to Levi. Not aware of what he previously said. The only thing I could focus on was coming up with a plan.

"Are you okay?"

"Of course!" I said as happily as I could manage. Which ended up being a mistake because everyone looked at me suspiciously.

"What's wrong?" Hanji asked me. I didn't really know what to say, but I knew I had to make up something quick.

"What isn't wrong?" I responded, but none of them found it funny.

"That's right, there somethings we have yet to talk about." Erwin said. That made me very uneasy. What is he talking about? "We are almost to the safe house though, so let's talk about that stuff there." And with that all conversation ceased.
