Hey guys. It's me and I'm back with Humanity's Strongest Family. Those that read this story before, are aware of the fact that I had to rework this and I feel I'm satisfied. Now, I'm not saying that there are a lot of severe changes. A lot of things remain identical to the original so you won't be thrown too off. Anyway, I hope you're still with me. Enjoy.

Oh P.S this is a Modern AU

The sound of gun fire was all that could be heard on an arid, bare land. The sun was shining high in the sky as a squad of soldiers navigated the battlefield. "Keep yourselves alert at all costs! We can't afford to lose any more people to those dipshits!" their captain barked as they advanced towards their goal. They were on the losing side of the war they were locked in and were running low on men.

"Captain! the enemy is preparing to fire!" one of the soldiers shouted while pointing at enemy soldiers readying themselves. They were more in number and had sufficient resources.

"Take cover behind the boulder" the captain ordered before they dashed towards the large rock as the enemy began to fire. Al the squad could hear was the sound of the bullets hitting the rock. Each of them silently prayed that the boulder would last.

The guns silenced as the enemy was beginning to reload. The Captain decided to check on his troops, "Did everyone make it?" he asked while glancing at his squad members. Everyone was intact.

"Alright soldiers! Prepare to fire," the captain said as the soldiers readied themselves. Each of them clenched their guns anxiously. This was a moment that was crucial to their survival and if they could eliminate their opponents, they would secure a victory.

The sound of the enemy fire was heard again before they stopped to reload. The Captain knew this was their opportunity, "Fire!" he ordered before his squad began to fire. The enemy forces were taken down by the onslaught.

The captain put his gun away and peeked. Every one of the opposing force's soldiers in the area was down, "Great job. The sons of bitches are dead," he said before his squad members rushed over to the corpses, "what are you doing?"

"We're just looting them. We're low on resources," one of his members explained as they searched the corpses. They happened to find ammo and other items that would prove useful.

The captain sighed as he leaned against the rock watching his comrades. He wasn't one that believed in looting and thus he preferred to stand back and watch. He closed his eyes as he found this to be an opportunity to rest for a bit before they advanced. Suddenly, he felt vibrations in the ground.

"What is that rumbling?" one of the squad members asked as they all glanced around.

"I bet those are just land mines going off," the other one said as he reloaded.

The soldiers continued to theorize as the captain watched them. Though he wasn't sure what could've been happening, he couldn't help but get concerned as the vibrations didn't seem to cease. In fact, they got fiercer. Suddenly, one of the soldiers shouted, "What the hell is that?"

Everyone faced the direction in which the soldier pointed and spotted a figure in the distance. "What is that?" the soldiers said before pulling out their binoculars. In the distance was a trail of dust that was made by a large humanoid figure that was approaching them quickly with a strut. Confused, the soldier turned to his fellow soldiers and they all shared a look.

"What's going on over there?" the captain asked as he noticed his soldiers staring ahead of them. Suddenly they all got terrified looks and pulled out their guns, firing continuously.

"It's a monster. Retreat!" one of them shouted but before they could escape, the monster caught two of them and began to feast on them as they screamed for help. The remaining soldier tried his best to shoot at the beast but his bullets didn't even seem to faze the monster as it swallowed the two. It then grabbed the soldier and snapped him into half before devouring him.

The captain watched in horror as he locked eyes with the grinning beast. Its appearance was that of a deformed human being with a large head and eyes. it opened its mouth and drool flowed to the ground before it licked its lips at the captain.

The captain held onto his rifle and aimed it at the monster, "w-whatever you are… s-stay back!" he ordered before the monster lunged at him. He did his best to shoot at it but like his comrade, the bullets had no effect. He dropped his gun and was about to run off when the monster grabbed him and lifted him to eye level.

"P-Please I have a family!" the captain begged. He wasn't one to beg but in a situation like this, he had no chances of defeating the strange monster. The monster held him over it's open mouth, "don't eat me!" the monster then dropped him into its mouth.

"Huh!" Levi gasped as he sat up from his bed. His heart pounded so hard that it felt as though it would just pop out of his chest. He then let out a sigh as he tried to calm down. It was all just a dream but it felt too realistic, but then, didn't all dreams feel like that?

"Another nightmare?" a female voice asked from beside him. He turned and locked eyes with his wife's silver eyes looking at him with concern. Her pink lips had a slight frown probably because she was worried.

"Yes," Levi responded before stroking her black hair, "but don't worry about me. I'm fine."

"I really think you should go for therapy. Your dreams are only getting worse," she started, causing Levi to chuckle at her.

"Listen, Mikasa. I don't need any therapy," he explained while calming down. "These dreams just come about with being a war veteran. It's totally normal."

"We left the military together and yet you're the only one that has these dreams," she complained before sighing, "Maybe if you had tried to get something to do to keep yourself busy like finding another job, you wouldn't have to be struggling to sleep like this."

"Mikasa, I am very okay with being a stay at home dad and looking after the house. There's no maid that can clean better than me and look after the kids like I can," he said proudly before looking back at her, "you just worry too much. What time is it anyway?"

"It's 6AM," Mikasa responded before sitting up, "I need to get ready for work."

"And I need to get breakfast ready," Levi said as they both got off of the bed. Mikasa walked into the bathroom while her husband made his way to the kitchen.

Their house was quite well furnished as it was on the more expensive side of the scale. It cost a lot but it did prove to be ideal for raising their children.

The Veteran walked down the staircase as he approached his destination. The floor was mostly marble and there was a lot of antique décor around the house.

He waked into the kitchen. It had an island design with some of the best appliances on the market. Levi leaned against the smooth counter to decide what he would cook. In a lot homes, cooking is the woman's job but in the Ackerman house, most of the "female responsibilities" were taken by Levi and he didn't really care that most men made fun of him for it. Especially since he was shorter than his wife.

"I'll just do some bacon and eggs," he decided before he began to work on serving his family.

About an hour past and his family had come down for breakfast. "Wow daddy, this is good!" their two-year old daughter, Marie, complimented as she munched on her breakfast. She looked like her mother with longer black hair and the same pink lips and eyes. A few crumbs fell onto her shirt, prompting her father to clean her up.

"Let's not get dirty, kiddo," he said while trying his best to get the crumbs off of her. He loved his kids and therefore made it his goal to make sure that they were clean at all times.

"I really hope none of the children develop your cleaning OCD," Mikasa said to her husband as she ate her meal. She then gave him a playful smile, "this is still good-Though, I doubt you'll ever be better than me."

"Heh, just you wait," he responded before turning to eat his food. Despite spending a lot of time working, Mikasa still proved to be superior in the kitchen and that was one of many activities the Ackerman couple competed in.

"You stay out of my plate!" one of their twin sons said to his twin brother while guarding his plate. It seemed his brother had finished his bacon and was trying to get a hold of his.

"Just give me one!" the other, responded while trying to grab a strip. They continued to bicker before they got into a full out fight.

"Hey you two, stop fighting," Mikasa said with a parental tone as the two boys stopped to fight and sulked while facing away from each other. These boys looked just like their mother too with her hair, eyes and lips being reminiscent of hers. Both boys had bowl cuts and were dressed in the standard black school uniform.

The twins were often in sync and agreed on most occasions, however, they still had a terrible tendency to bicker with one another and it often ended with a fight.

"Dean," Mikasa started, addressing the slightly larger twin.

"Yes," he responded, raising his silver eyes to meet his mother's.

"What did I tell you about forcing yourself on others?" Mikasa asked as all eyes were focused on the boy.

"You said it was rude and that I should ask," he muttered.

"Good, now apologize to your brother."

"I'm not apologizing to him," Dean scoffed, passing his brother a dirty look.

"Dean, if you don't fucking apologize to Daniel then I swear you'll be grounded for three whole months. And don't even ask me about how you'll use the bathroom," Levi threatened in his usual low tone. Dean was about to retort but shrunk in fear when he looked at his father scowling at him.

"I-I'm sorry Daniel," Dean said to his brother before going back to finishing his meal. His twin brother silently chuckled at his brother's shame.

"Levi, language," Mikasa corrected, annoyed by her husband's use of bad language in front of the children. She did, however, appreciate how much time he spent looking after them. It wasn't easy for a mom to spend so much time away from her kids but knowing her husband was there for them kept her positive.

Levi then sighed before apologizing, "sorry honey." He did have a swearing problem that stemmed from way before they even got married. He then looked at the twins with a small smile, "hey guys, maybe after school we can play catch outside." His suggestion made the boys nod furiously in excitement.

"Say Levi," Mikasa started, catching his attention, "I wonder why Junior's taken such a long time to get up today."

Suddenly, the sound of rushed footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs from the next room.

A boy staggered into the room, panting as he dropped his bag onto the floor and slowly walked and took a seat at the table.

"Junior, what took you so long, today?" Mikasa asked their eldest child.

The boy raised his blue eyes to meet his mother's silver ones. He then shook his head, gathering his thoughts as he ran his hand through his jet black hair, which was styled into a quiff. "Oh, I participated in a FIFA tournament and sort of lost track of time," he started in his semi deep voice, "I guess I overslept."

"You should really stop that," Mikasa started while examining him, "you get very little sleep these days and it isn't heathy for you. You've already grown into a big boy, I mean, you're even taller than your father and I don't want sleep deprivation to stop you from getting any taller," she pointed out as Levi rolled his eyes in the background, "If you keep this up, you'll develop bags under your eyes and then you'll end up looking even more like you father and trust me, you don't want that," she said, whispering the last part.

"Heh, okay mom," Junior chuckled before he started to dig into his meal.

"So…" Mikasa tried to start another conversation, "what plans do you have for today?"

"Oh, I was just planning on attending the science club meeting after class before heading out to the park for some LARPING," he said proudly. Despite looking like his father, he was more on the brains than brawn side.

"That sounds… fun," Mikasa tried to say with enthusiasm in hopes that her son would be happy.

"Tch!" Levi scoffed, catching everyone's attention, "you should've just joined Martial Arts or Football or something real. Not science club or whatever the hell LARPING is." He normally bashed his son for his decisions but then, he was Levi.

"Levi," Mikasa started when she noticed her son's gaze drop, "our son is… gifted-intellectually. That's why he's better off in the more academic clubs."

"Don't encourage him," her husband responded while sipping his tea with his unique style. He hadn't noticed that the younger children were secretly imitating him, "keep that up or you'll raise a pathetic loser that still lives with his parent after college."

Before Mikasa could respond, the sound of a school bus honking could be heard from outside, "bye mom and dad!" the twins said as they ran outside, grabbing their bags on their way out.

Mikasa watched as Junior sighed before getting up. He had a scowl that was reminiscent of his father's in his current emotional state. He then let out a quiet 'bye mom' before walking out.

"Levi, why do you always bash him like that?" she asked while shooting a glare at him. He didn't even bother to respond to her question as he gathered the plates to put them in the dishwasher. She then proceeded to ask again, "Levi, you're only quiet because you know I'm right."

"I just don't get that kid," Levi finally responded as he started to wipe the surfaces. "I don't understand why the only child that looks like me and has my exact name is ironically my polar opposite." He then sighed before attending to the sink.

Mikasa then felt a wave of compassion pass through him. She knew that her husband was a normally grouchy person but he still had a soft side. She opened her mouth but before her voice could escape her mouth, her phone buzzed. She checked the clock and it was time for her to leave, "I'm leaving now," she said before walking up to him and kissing his cheek. She then kissed Marie's forehead before walking, "bye!"

"Bye," both Levi and their daughter responded as she closed the door behind them.

Levi then smiled before picking up his only daughter, "how about I give bath and let you watch TV while I bathe and clean the house?" he asked as the little girl nodded excitedly, "after that, you and I can go to the park."

Mikasa hummed along to the radio in the police cruiser she always drove to work. After leaving the military, she decided to join the police force as a patrol officer. If she wanted, she would have gotten a higher post but something about driving around with her partner was refreshing for her.

Her car came to a stop outside the police station. She stepped out of the vehicle and locked it before walking into the building. The smell of coffee was the first thing that caught her nose as she walked into the generic offices to check in. she walked through the room, occasionally passing a good morning here and there.

As soon as she checked in, she decided to check on one of her old friends, who was busy at his desk. She walked up to the blonde male and decided to let out a greeting, "Hey Armin."

Armin looked away from his screen and smiled at the woman before him, "Hey Mikasa, how's the morning treating you?" he asked before sipping his coffee, "and how's the family."

"Oh, the morning's great and the family's the same as usual," she sighed as she said this. She really loved her family but they had their moments.

"I don't know how you do it, Mikasa," Armin said, "you have four kids and yet you still look as pretty as you were when you were single. What is your secret? Maybe I might let my future wife in on it," he chuckled.

"I just eat healthy and work out regularly," she responded before her eyes began to wander around looking for a particular brunette. He was her partner and she needed him so they could get patrolling.

Armin then realised what, or rather, who she was looking for. He then sighed before giving smiling at her, "He hasn't yet arrived."

And as if on cue, the sound of fast moving footsteps and apologetic shouts could be heard as the brunette rushed to check in. He gave a sigh as he checked in. he then glanced and waved at his comrades before walking over to them, "Man, I overslept," he groaned.

"Of course you did, Eren," Armin responded before turning back to his computer, "I have to get back to work, so I'll see you guys later."

"Maybe you shouldn't be spending all night playing videogames, you'd be early for once," Mikasa commented, "I wonder how Historia handles you."

"Jeez…you sound like mom. Let's go," Eren said before dragging Mikasa outside the building and towards the cruiser. They stopped and Eren waited for Mikasa's response and as usual, she was lost in thought, "Am I driving or what?"

"Oh, right," Mikasa said before opening the vehicle and hopping into the driver's seat with Eren in the passenger seat. She turned the key and the engine hummed to life. The radio then went on, "There is a report about a 501 not so far from your unit—over."

"We'll get there as soon as possible—over," Eren said before looking at Mikasa and both nodding. Their day had just begun.

"I spy with my little eye… something green," Marie said as she walked down the sidewalk while holding her father's hand. She was in a little pink sun dress and white sandals. They were on their way to the park and decided to play a little 'I Spy'

Levi knew exactly what she was talking about but decided to play dumb, "is it… the trees?" he asked as she shook her head. "Is it daddy's shirt?" he asked as he wore a dark green shirt over black jeans and back shoes. Once again, the little girl shook her head. "Is it… that flower shop?" he asked while pointing at said shop. The younger girl grunted in annoyance while shaking her head.

"No daddy, it's the grass," she said before sighing and face-palming, "why am I the smart one here?" she dramatically asked as her father smiled down at her. Eventually, they had reached the park and she made a run for the playground.

Levi grunted before stuffing his hands into his pockets and walking towards one of the benches near the playground. He was just going to watch her play while he enjoyed the outdoors. As he approached it, he saw a familiar person seated on the bench. He was neatly dressed in a blue shirt and khaki pants with well combed blonde hair. His eyes were fixated on a book he was reading.

"Commander Erwin. I didn't expect to see you in town," Levi said as he caught the man's attention. The blonde man smiled before getting up and sharing a salute with him. They then both sat down.

"Captain Levi, it sure has been a while," he said as he rested the book on his lap. He then glanced at the children playing, "I take it you're out here with your little daughter?"

The shorter man nodded in response before speaking, "aren't you supposed to be away at war or something? You're a Commander."

"Ever since Marie and I divorced, she has been giving me hell about our daughter," he started before sighing, "She's always telling me that I'm being a deadbeat for always being away and threatened to get orders preventing me from seeing her again so I decided to take leave to spend time with her for a few months."

"Why did that bitch make a big deal about you rarely being available?" Levi asked in annoyance at how inconsiderate man-kind could be, "doesn't she know you're a fucking soldier?" he then crossed his arms and closed his eyes, "Tch! Such people make me want to punch them."

"Calm down, Levi," Erwin said while trying to calm his long-time comrade down. He, like other people knew that being with him was no walk in the park but he was one of the few that learnt to live with it, "I'm actually glad I took this break because she seems very happy since she started staying with me. Heck, she's even enjoying the outdoors," he said while pointing at a blonde, teenage girl seated on the grass sketching on her sketch pad.

"Shouldn't she be at school?" Levi asked while looking at the girl. She recognised her as one of Junior's classmates and found it odd that she was in the park instead of learning.

"She refused to go today," Erwin explained, "she said something about bullies."

"Why don't you try to step in?"

"I tried but she begged me not to do anything and that she would be fine," Erwin said before looking a Levi, "I was thinking maybe your son could befriend her and maybe protect her from bullies. He is an Ackerman after all."

Levi then snorted, "that nerdy-ass brat, couldn't even fight his way out of a paper bag. I doubt he would help your daughter." He then remembered, "Last time I checked, she's a pretty tough girl. Why would she be bullied?"

"Irene can sometimes be shy and she tells me that her eyebrows are a target for bullies. So she usually keeps to herself at school," Erwin explained before furrowing his own brows, "my eyebrows aren't funny looking are they?"

"I won't answer your question."

"Fine then," Erwin sighed before changing the person of discussion, "back to your son, don't under-estimate him. He just hasn't unlocked that mysterious power your family has that makes you so tough."

"As long as he keeps on LARP-whatever, there's no way he'll get far," Mr. Ackerman declared confidently before remembering, "Oh, Erwin, I had a monster dream again."

The blonde man's eyebrows raised with interest as he looked at his comrade, "Really?"

"Yep," he nodded calmly, "I was leading a squad through a battle and once the fight was over, a monster came and devoured all of us."

Erwin placed his thumb and index finger under his chin before he began to contemplate, "what if these aren't just dreams but visions of a future?" he asked as the shorter man looked at him in disbelief.

"Are you fucking serious?" Levi asked in disbelief that the man he held respect for would think in those lines, "did that idiot, Hange, pollute your mind?"

"Actually, I believe her theories aren't always wrong. I believe these monsters, or as we of the fort call them, titans, exist," Erwin said calmly, "She has been studying the possibility of titan existence and currently has hold of some incriminating evidence back at the fort."

Levi looked at the blonde in disbelief. How could someone as smart as Erwin believe in something so unrealistic, "Erwin, has your ex-wife been poisoning you or something?" he asked, "because you sound like a total idiot. Hange is conspiracy theorist that lives with a whole lot of other theorists."

Erwin only shook his head, "Levi, I think you should visit me at the fort and then I can show you what I'm talking about."

"I'm not showing my face at this 'fort' shit you speak of. There's no way a bunch of nightmares could be true," he scoffed before glancing back at his daughter who giggled as she played with some other children, "I'm a much happier man with my family and I'm not going to let some stupid conspiracy make me paranoid."

"Okay Levi," Erwin said before standing and dusting himself off, "I'm leaving. I need to order takeout for Irene and I," he said before calling out to his daughter, "Irene! It's time to go." The blonde girl closed her sketchbook and jogged over to her father. She looked much like him as she had his eyes and signature eyebrows. Erwin and his daughter dismissed themselves before leaving the veteran on his own.

Levi looked back at his daughter. She looked so happy out there. Her smile always brought so much warmth to his cold personality. All he ever wanted was to live the rest of his life happily ever after, watching all of his kids grow up and explore the world. He didn't care that his leg injury put him out of commission, that wasn't what mattered.

He closed his eyes and began to day-dream, imagining how his mother would react if she could see him now. "I wish you were here to see this," he muttered to himself. It was peaceful until the ground started to vibrate. He opened his eyes and brushed it off as an illusion. The ground vibrated again and he realised he wasn't dreaming when he noticed other people looking around.

The sound of screaming could be heard in the distance as the vibrations intensified and a tall figure approached the park. Levi couldn't believe it. his dream was coming true. The figure that turned out to have a humanoid form like the one in his dream. It stood taller than most buildings.

The figure let out a piercing shriek as it barred its teeth and looked at the park goers hungrily. Levi felt his heart drop as he stared at it in horror. He then remembered his daughter and quickly leapt into action.

As the monster started to advance at people, Levi managed to snatch his daughter away from the swing set, "daddy, what is that?" she asked as she looked at the monster over his shoulder.

"I don't know kiddo," he responded as he made his way over to the side walk. His only goal was to get his family to safety. The younger continued to bombard him with questions before she went silent all of a sudden her body had stiffened and her heart pounded, "Marie, is everything alright?" He asked in hopes that she was alright but when he got no response he began to worry.

"You still have that old thing?" Eren asked while looking at his partner with an amused look.

Mikasa smiled as she clutched the red scarf wrapped around her neck. She pulled it upwards to hide the small blush that was forming on her cheeks, "how could I get rid of something that means so much to me?"

"Heh, typical Mikasa," he chuckled before letting out a depressed sigh, "Mikasa, I have something to tell you." He looked depressed as though he was bothered for years. Mikasa was raised by his parents so they were practically like siblings at this point.

"What is it, Eren?" she asked before briefly glancing at him. She had to keep her eyes on the road.

"Historia and I might get divorced," he said, his voice sounded bitter and angry but all his other features showed sadness.

"What? Why?" she asked with concern for her dear friend evident in her voice. Eren and Historia only recently got married and their relationship had already started crumbling.

"We've been fighting a lot lately and her ex-girlfriend, Ymir, has been feeding her mind with all sorts of bullshit," he complained before clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, "Ymir's been trying to end us ever since the wedding. I don't get why she can't just accept that they're over."

"Hey Eren, why don't you end your shift early today," Mikasa suggested as she felt he needed a break.

"No, that wouldn't be fair on your behalf."

"It wouldn't be fair on your behalf because you'd be forced to work under stress," she then rested a hand on his shoulder, "Eren, you should really get home and rest. I'll pass by your place tonight so we can talk about things. You know me very well; I can handle this on my own."

Eren sat in silence as though making a very tough decision. He then sighed before nodding, "okay, you can just drop me off here," he said as he pointed at a nearby fast food joint. He always like to drown his sadness with a good meal, "I'll catch a cab later."

Mikasa slowed down the vehicle and let her partner out. She decided it was for the best he rested up. They waved each other off and she began to drive off again. As soon as she hit the road, the radio went off, "All units are expected to go to the park. There are reports of a…giant—monster," the person said with doubt.

Mikasa turned on the siren and began to make her way towards the park. A giant monster, that didn't make any sense. She then remembered that Levi often took Marie to the park. She hoped they were fine.

The car sped through traffic alongside other cruisers. As she got closer, she could feel vibrations in the ground. It didn't feel like any tremor she'd experienced. Eventually, she arrived at the park and saw a large humanoid figure being attacked by the police. They shot at it continuously but to no avail. The monster only took minimal damage and only roared before grabbing an officer and swallowing him.

Mikasa felt herself freeze in her seat. She didn't know why she failed to leave the car. Perhaps it was fear but she has never been petrified before. She continued to watch in horror as the cops were devoured one by one. They didn't stand a chance. Suddenly, the supervising officer yelled, "All of you! Retreat! Make sure your loved ones are safe before it catches you!" he was then swallowed by the beast.

Mikasa gasped before ramming the accelerator with her foot and the car sped off. She had to get home. That was all that mattered at this point. Other police cars were also trying to leave the area and there was a huge traffic jam. Mikasa honked her horn impatiently, this was not looking good.

The sound of the monster's roar could be heard as it's footsteps approached the road. Mikasa couldn't wait any longer so she stepped out of her car and began to make a run for it.

She swiftly dashed through the crowd of people. Hopping over some of them and taking a few detours. She had to get home.

Eventually, she ran into her neighbourhood and saw her house not too far from her. She could hear the noise coming from town and as a police officer, it hurt her that she was afraid. Who came into her mind next was Eren. She hoped he arrived home safely.

She ran into her house her house and slammed the door behind her. All she wanted was to see if her family was alright, "Is everyone home?" she asked as she panted heavily. Her eyes darted around as she heard the echo but no response. Her heart began to pound as she started to walk, "Kids!"

"Mom," the twins said before running towards her and hugging her.

"I'm glad you're alright," Mikasa sobbed while hugging them tightly. She then asked, "where's everyone else?"

"Dad and Junior are boarding up the windows," Daniel explained while Dean wiped her eyes, "Marie is napping in her room."

"Oh thank goodness," Mikasa sighed before releasing her children from hug. She then thought about something, "why don't you two go help your father and brother while I unwind a bit?"

The twins nodded before running off, leaving Mikasa to plop onto the couch. She turned on the TV and could see that there was a news broadcast on the same issue.

"Could this be some sort of apocalypse?" the reporter asked.

"I'm glad you made in one piece," Levi's voice caught her attention as he took a seat next to her on the couch.

Mikasa couldn't help but throw herself at him for a hug. "You too," she responded as they embraced with her resting her chin on his shoulder and vice-versa, "I was praying none of you got eaten by the monster."

Levi sighed as he rubbed her back, "actually Mikasa, there's something I need to tell you about that monster."

"What is it?"

"The nightmares I've been having all feature the same type of monster you saw," Levi explained, "when I told Erwin about it, he suggested it was prophetic or some shit like that but I just blew him off as being a believer of conspiracy."

"And your dreams did turn out to be prophetic," she said before pulling out of the hug to look at him, "but then, where did it come from?"

"One can only wonder at this point," Levi responded before saying, "what we can do for now is prepare the house. We don't know how long we'll be here but for the meantime, let's board up the house."

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang. They shared a look before he looked at the caller and found that it was Erwin. He then answered and put it to his ear.

Levi: Erwin?

Erwin: Levi, I bet you don't think I'm crazy now, do you?

Levi: Is this why you called me? To prove how wrong I am? Well whoopty fuckin' do! Erwin, you were right.

Erwin: Calm down Levi… that isn't why I called.

Levi: what do you want?

Erwin: I need you to come over to the fort. There you and your family can be safe while we try to figure out the situation.

Levi: …fine, I'll think about it.

Erwin: just make the right choice.

Levi: Whatever, Commander.

Levi hung up the phone and turned to face his wife who looked at him with an amused face, "what?"

"You have the worst phone etiquette ever," she chucked before saying, "what's the matter anyway?"

"Erwin suggested we all go to the fort for shelter."

"Fort?" Mikasa asked in wonder. She had never heard of any nearby forts.

"There's a large fort on the outskirts of town," Levi explained, "truth is, these monsters or rather 'titans' as they're also called have been a belief of a group of individuals who all reside within said fort. It's been so prepared that it even has some impenetrable wall guarding it."

"Wow, they prepared for this day," Mikasa said as she leaned against his chest, "what do you think?"

"I don't think it's necessary for us. I bet the only people we'll meet are a bunch of weirdos. I don't want to go," he declared while stroking her hair, "we can make it out on our own."

"Maybe we should go," Mikasa said from her position, "even if you don't like the idea, I feel we should go so we're sure there's a chance of the kids being safe."

Levi thought for a moment. He didn't want to live in some fort with a bunch of strangers but then, Mikasa was right. Their kids' safety was what mattered the most, "fine, we'll go."

Mikasa smiled when he made his decision, "when are we going then?"

"I don't know…" he started but then he felt the ground vibrate. He shared a horrified glance with his wife. The beast must have been close by. They then stood from their seat, "let's get the kids. We're leaving right now."

Okay guys, though the changes are minimal, I'm officially comfortable with this and I hope you guys are still enjoying this. Anyway, stay tuned.
