Reasons

Artemis looked out the third floor window, judging how far her squad was. They weren't far at all, actually. They had officially arrived. "Finnie!" Artemis whispered happily, recognizing that stallion anywhere. She smiled as she slowly and carefully eased her self out the window and onto the small ledge, then sidling across the ledge to where a part of the roof dipped down. Carefully pulling herself onto it, she crawled slowly to the very top of the roof where she found a large flat area. Looking across either side she grimaced at where there was a door. Whatever, I'm here now, and there is no way anyone will find me. She concluded, laying on her stomach and closing her eyes, soaking up the warm sun.

Genevieve was hurrying down the halls of the castle, trying to find the white haired woman. "Why am I even bothering, honestly? If she doesn't want to have her back looked at, and it ends up getting worse because of it, it'll be her problem, not mine." She huffed aloud, crossing her arms, and returning to a slow walk.

She stopped, trying to repress a loud groan as she gazed upon the same stairwell she'd already seen three time prior. "What the heck?" She cried, trying as hard as could not to swear, after all, her mother had always taught her that swearing showed a lack of character. Which she had mentioned to Artemis only to have Artemis smile and say "Well shit, then explain why I'm so fucking fabulous then? I don't fucking believe I fucking lack any fucking character."

Genevieve rolled her eyes at the sound of Artemis in her head as she decided to just go down the bloody stairs. Looks like it just leads to the main door. She sighed, crossing her arms and looking at the dusty table that stood in the middle of the main entrance room. That's unsanitary for sure...

The doors swung open to reveal a man just as short as Artemis was, but it nonetheless scared the nurse. The dark haired man looked the place with a tight lipped frown. "This place is disgusting. And who the hell are you?"

"I- Uh." Genevieve cleared her throat, crossing her arms tighter and standing up tighter. "That all depends on who exactly you are."

Artemis yawned, feeling all warm and fuzzy. Of course a loud shout made her eyes open.

"WILDE!"

"And that would be the captain, no doubt after coming across my lovely tag along." Artemis hummed to herself, laying back down and tucking her hands under her head, a smile on her face. Here's hoping for Genevieve's safety.

"Alright, it appears Artemis is missing in action, so myself and the captain will be searching for her, while the rest of you are under orders to clean this place top to bottom." Petra Ral talked calmly to the rest of the squad while Levi was grilling the unknown woman for Artemis' where-abouts.

"What exactly is your name? And why are you here?"

"G- Genevieve Morris! I am a nurse and I was brought here by Artemis to help treat her injuries because she would be incapable of treating them herself."

Levi sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose in frustration. "The rest of the Legion will be here in a matter of days, plus the Military Police, they'll bring medics with them of course, so why would she bother with bringing you?"

Genevieve shifted uncomfortably in the chair that the man had put in the middle of an empty room to 'interrogate' her, so to say. "I suppose she may not wish for any more people to be aware of the injuries she has sustained then necessary."

Levi glared at the young woman unintentionally. "Whatever. Do you know where she is at least?"

"Er, no."

"And why is that?"

"Well, we were... Uh... We got separated. It's a pretty big place, you know." Genevieve tried to laugh casually but only managed to make a strange squeaking noise. I may have to swear at Artemis for this... And possibly injure her as well...

"Artemis?"

Peering out of the corner of one eye, Artemis grinned happily. "Günther, hey! Long time no see, friend." She greeted, pusing herself up and crossing her legs campfire style.

"Yeah. What exactly are you doing up here? Levi's throwing a fit trying to figure out where you are."

Artemis' grin grew. "Really?"

Günther sighed, shaking his head as turned to walk to the edge of the roof. "He has that lady-friend of yours too, and it doesn't look like he's exactly going easy on her." He said before sticking a grapple into the roof and jumping off the side, a cleaning rag in his hand.

Artemis stared after him for a second, before finally sighing and getting up. "Time to put Operation: Be Useful For Once into action..."

Although Artemis didn't really want Genevieve to get treated bad or anything, she surely didn't rush to her rescue or anything. She took her merry time, inspecting everything from the creaks in the floor boards, the cravings on some of the stair case railings. In fact, by the time she made it to where Levi had eventually left Genevieve, she'd managed to say hello to Erd, and Auruo, and also Günther again.

"Hello, darling, you miss me?" Artemis greeted the young nurse as she opened the door.

"No." Levi gave her a dull look, sitting with one leg crossed over in the middle of the room.

Artemis cringed back. "My apologies, Captain, I mistook you for my lovely companion." She smiled sweetly, back stepping, and beginning to pull the door shut.

"Wilde, fuck off. I have word from Erwin that you might want to shut up and listen to."

Pausing, she pushed the door open enough to just peek her head through. "Tell me where Genevieve is and I'll listen to whatever you have to say."

"Listen to what I have to say, and I'll tell you where the nurse is."

"Uh, no, tell me where she is, then I listen."

"You will listen, or your friend just might find herself going on a trip outside Wall Rose with the rest of us."

"U-huh... So where is she now though...?"

Levi stood up slowly, walking towards the door. "Stop being a child, Wilde."

Artemis stared back at him, before entering the room and closing the door. "What did the commander have to say."

"You are suspended." Levi began, moving around her to lean against the door.

Artemis turned. "Suspended? For what?"

"It was a decision based on the outcome of the court. We got the kid, so we lost you."

Artemis was about to call the court out on some bullshit when the rest of the sentence registered. "What? What kid?"

"Eren Jaeger."

"Why the hell is he here? Why would it affect my place on your squad?"

"It's because of your involvement with the Jaeger family."

Artemis frowned, taking a seat on the one chair in the room. "So Eren is of some relation to the Jaeger's I stayed with back before I joined the Legion, I assume then?"

"Yes. He's their son."

"Holy shit. That has got to look so bad." Artemis rested her elbows on her knees, and placed her head in her hands.

"It does. That's why Nile Dawk requested you be temporarily suspended, at least until Jaeger is proven reliable in the field, then they'll likely come up with some other way to keep you away from him."

"If I'm not on your squad, why the hell am I here? Unless, Erwin wants to me leave and head somewhere else, doesn't he?"

"That's the thing, Erwin lied in court for you. He said your injuries from Trost were to severe so you had to be moved further inside Wall Rose to some hospital. It's unlikely anyone will look to far into it yet, so right now, you're off the grid." Levi cleared his throat, shifting his weight. "And as of now, if anyone finds out you're here, you'll be considered an ex Legion member who has gone rogue. So I suggest you lay low once the rest of the Legion gets here."

Artemis rubbed her forehead, staring at the floor. "Alright, fine. But answer me this, why is Eren here? What use is he to the Legion?"

"He's a titan-shifter."

"Genevieve, right? I'm Petra Ral."

"Genevieve Morris." Shook the short woman's tanned hand. "I, uh, hate to ask, but is everyone in the Scouting Legion short or something?"

Petra laughed. "No, not actually, I suppose you just happen to have the luck of meeting only the short ones."

Genevieve nodded, smiling. "I see. Lucky me, eh?"

Petra smiled, opening the door to the main room of the Medical Wing. "You're a nurse, right?"

"Yeah, before I got kidnapped and dragged here by Artemis."

"Oh my... I could always send for someone to take you back—"

"Nah, it's alright. I'm not that upset about it. I was honestly training to be a military medic anyways." Genevieve shrugged, moving over to a counter to finish putting all the supplies Artemis and herself had brung with them.

"Oh, well, I guess you're right where you want be then."

"Yeah... It's funny. I've only known Artemis for barely a day, and I already feel like I've known her all my life..." Genevieve trailed off, then blushed, realizing how silly she probably sounded. "Sorry, that probably sounds ridiculous."

"Not at all, she has that affect on people. She makes you feel like you're the centre of the world sometimes, like you're her childhood friend. Yet, you probably don't know very much about her do you? A few details, but nothing that really tells you anything, am I right?"

Genevieve paused, slowly placing a pack of fresh bandages in the cupboard. "Huh, I never even realized that I knew so little about her..."

Petra smiled, patting her shoulder gently. "You're not alone, friend."

Artemis stared at the floor, her jaw set in a tight line. Looking up at her captain she blinked a few times, crossing her arms and crossing one leg over the other. "Come again?" She asked, turning her head and placing a hand to lightly cup her ear. "I don't think I quite caught that."

"Eren Jaeger is a Titan-Shifter."

The woman nodded slowly, sitting back in the chair. "No."

Levi shifted his weight. "What makes you say that."

Artemis sputtered, laughing. "Well, there's no way. Eren? No. I refuse to believe that that over confident little brat can shift into a titan. Titans are fucking dangerous. Eren? I doubt he'd even be able to hurt a fly."

"Funny. Because I hear he took out about seven Titans while in his titan form. But that certainly can't be. Oh yes, and it couldn't be that he was the one to pick up the boulder that blocked the whole in Wall Rose, and ultimately allowed for the retaking of Trost. Must've been another shifter who did it." Levi responded, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Artemis dragged her tongue over her teeth, her jaw set. Shaking her head again she exhaled. "I just- you have seen Eren, right? I mean, are you sure?"

Levi sighed, dragging a hand through his hair. "Yes. Eren is a titan-shifter." Shaking his head at her, he turned to open the door, but paused with his hand on the door knob. "I'm actually a bit shocked at how well you're taking this, Wilde."

"Hm? What do you mean?" Artemis asked, getting up and dusting her backside.

"I just told you one of your cadets was a Titan, and the only thing that seemed to shock you was who it was."

Artemis slid a hand into her trouser pocket, scratching the back of her head with the other, shrugging. "Dunno. It just doesn't faze me as something too unbelievable I s'pose. I dunno."

Levi stared at her, judging her stance, then shrugged, opening the door and walking out of the room. "Go get yourself checked by the nurse, then start helping with cleaning this shit hole up. That's an order."

"Yes, sir."

"Ah, Artemis, where have you been?" Genevieve greeted the soldier.

"Oh, I was just— ow!" Artemis cried after the nurse smacked her over the back of the head.

"Serves you right, now go sit over there while I grab bandages."

Artemis scowled, sitting over where she'd been told. "I thought you were a pacifist." She whined, rubbing her head.

"Mhmm, and I am, however like anyone else, if you provoke me, I may not respond rationally." Genevieve stated, moving towards Artemis. "Face the wall so I can get your back done with."

Artemis sighed, moving around. "It honestly feels fine, plus I technically won the game, both times, so I don't even see why I'm here."

"Because your Captain ordered it."

"Well yeah, but- wait, how did you know he did?"

"Where do you think he got the idea?" Genevieve responded, pulling Artemis' shirt up over her head and handing it to the solider to hold over her front for when the bandages where removed.

Artemis sighed. "I knew there was a reason I liked you."
