Just in case I make chapters that focus on one of the other avengers instead of Hanji, I'll make this distinction now. The person whose name is in the center of the story in bold is who will be thinking if there are italics, even though it's in third person.

Hanji Zoe

The office was a mess, Hanji noted, but she could care less at that point. Her mind was going one track with her new discovery, and she'd been researching all night.

If what she'd discovered was correct, it could change the tide.

Pocket dimensions. Who knew what lied in those? They could have resources to kill titans, or have a new weapon to store them far away from Eldia. Possibly more space if the survey corps lost and they needed to have more space for refugees.

She first discovered the possibilities in some of the hardening material that came off of Eren's titan form.

If this is true, what does it mean for the titans? How are they connected to pocket dimensions? Has Marley advanced that far yet?

She'd finally completed the machine she was building, and stood proud. "Yes!" She jumped up, it had taken days of more or less nonstop working and building, and weeks prior to that research that no one else had been willing to do.

Except for her new assistant, Anders. He'd stuck by her the whole time, helping with research, but more importantly helping her not pass out.

The machine was built in two parts, a thick leather armband that went from her wrist to midway up her forearm, and an oval shaped structure with three metal arms forming an egg like shape. The armband, or console, as she was calling it, had a connection to the bigger machine from the crystal that she'd gotten.

It's that time now. Anders and Levi should be coming up right this second.

A few footsteps pounded outside the door. There we are!

"Is it wise to let her go? She's very important." Hanji distantly heard her new assistant speak up.

Ah, you think anyone else would? Plus, I'm the commander. And nobody would understand these calculations. She grinned.

He reminded her so much of Moblit. There wasn't time to think about that now though. She'd mourned, and she still missed him everyday, but she couldn't get distracted now.

The two stepped into the room, met with Hanji's smirk.

"Well, we don't have all day-" "It's night commander-" "Hush Anders. Let's get going!" She sent them both a grin, and directed them to stand back.

"Oi, Shitty glasses. Don't die." Levi spoke up, blank face covering up anything.

Ahah! Levi's worried.

"Nice to know you care, Levi!" She gave him a thumbs up, getting a half witted scowl in return. She adjusted her eye-patch, before turning to the machine. Pressing a few buttons, she started to hear a faint rumbling.

"I'll be back as soon as possible. A few days if there are no titans or dangerous things."

Still focused, she pressed one final button before the machine whirled to life. She stepped up to it, turning back one more time.

"Seeya! Levi, you're in charge of the scouts, should anything, ya know, go wrong. But it won't!"

With one final grin, she jumped in.

The sky was still dark, Hanji noted, getting up to her feet. She was dizzy, and her vision was blurred, even with her goggles on.

I'm really vulnerable. I need to find some cover. There could be titans-no, something even worse than titans here.

From her research, a pocket dimension existed in the dimension she came from. It was just sealed off to the rest of the world. Until now.

Distantly, she heard a roaring sound, fast and angry. She turned, and there were huge structures, taller than any building she'd ever seen. Some looked as if they were made from glass. The roaring had come from a silver vessel of some sort, and inside it was people. It wasn't a carriage, but it looked to be made for transport.

She began to walk, looking to people who were bypassing her on the street. Some looked at her, well, no, some looked at her eye-patch, but that wasn't unusual.

If this is a pocket dimension, then it's nothing I've ever theorized. It's meant to be a mirror of my dimension, not something so completely different.

If the dizziness the was experiencing before was bad, that was nothing. She saw glares of flashing light, and saw a projection of a sort on another tall glass building. The silver things-no, they came in different colors- the loud things whirred by her.

Even though it's night, it's so loud. But this is incredible! Overwhelming, yes, but incredible! Who knows what we'll find here.

Her right leg gave out on her unexpectedly. Well this is inconvenient. Her left leg followed her right in tow. She felt a numbness creeping up her leg, and felt the all too familiar 'am I going to die' feeling tug at her heart. She ignored it.

Her vision was so blurry now that it was hard to see, and sounds melted against each-other, forming a cacophony of unfamiliar, sickening sounds. Distantly, she could see that she was flat out on the ground.

Get up, Hanji! Come on!

But her slurred jeers gave way to nothing but darkness. Even then, she could have sworn she saw the face of an eye-patched man staring down at her.

She would have thought, but her mind had gone still by then.

When she came to, she noticed her goggles were gone. Her eye-patch was left on, but her 3DMG gear was missing.

Are they Marleyan? That couldn't have been Marley, could it? Well, not going to rule it out. It's a possibility.

She was sitting in a chair, upright, a black belt chain keeping her in position. She knew what type of a room she was in.

Bright, white light. Chained up. Someone she hadn't thought about in a long time popped into her head.

"It's your turn. There's an order to these things. Perhaps it's a law of human nature. When one's time is over, another must take over the role they used to play."

Damn you, Sannes. Still creeping into my head. But you're right, aren't you? I'm the one in the chair now.

The door opened, and two people stepped inside. She couldn't see well enough, but one looked oddly familiar. He was wearing an eyepatch.

He was the one I saw before I passed out!

A woman stood in tow, red hair with dangerous eyes looking down at her calculatingly. Hanji didn't allow any expression to be portrayed across her face.

"So," the man started, "what's your deal? Time travel? Stark's daughter from the future coming to warn us about some bitch threat? Thanos's lovechild? Hydra?"

What the hell?

"Not any of those, no." She decided to play it safe. They could be Marleyan.

"Then give it to us."

Hanji didn't let anything by. "I think I'll pass." She heard the unsheathing of a knife. Fantastic.

"Why were you on American soil?"

That peaked her interest. "American? I have no clue what you're talking about."

"Stop playing games." The man sounded very displeased.

"No," the woman with the red hair cut in, "she's telling the truth. I have the serum right here. It's her fault if she doesn't want to answer."

Hanji put off gritting her teeth.

The woman made her way over, injecting a clearish-yellow liquid into her neck. It burned a bit. Hanji actually did grit her teeth now.

"What's your name?"

"Hanji Zoe." It came out in a monotone.

Dammit! I've never seen anything like this. I couldn't even put it off.

"What organization do you belong to?"

"Survey corps." The same monotone echoed out.

"Any idea what that is?" The man asked the woman, who shook her head in turn.

They aren't lying!

"Wait. You have no idea what they are? Nothing at all?" It would make sense, but only because nothing's out of the question. Maybe this isn't a pocket universe or Marley at all. Could I be in a different universe entirely. What does that mean for the titans? Do they have titans here?

"Should we?" The woman gazed down at her dangerously.

Hanji shrugged in return. "Not a clue at this point."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I don't know where I am, so how am I meant to know if you should've heard of us?"

Unless they're lying, this means we aren't in the walls. It would have to be somewhere to get enough resources to make a truth serum and have lights this bright. There were all those lights and sounds, I'm not even sure Marley has those. And Marley knows about the walls all right.

"Where are you from then?"

"Eldia." No! If they're from Marley they might just kill me now. But the fact that they didn't connect walls with Eldia means there is basically no chance that they're from Marley. Which is good. And bad. Who knows, they could be worse.

"Never heard of it. What were you doing before we found you?"

"Trying to travel into a pocket dimension."

That shut them both up.

"Certainly explains a lot of things. What year do you come from?"

"850."

Silence.

"It's the year 2019."

"What?!" Hanji yelped, unable to control it. "Pocket dimension travel isn't supposed to even meddle with the time stream."

"How do you know anything about that? You're from 850. You shouldn't have the type of gear we experimented with." Redhead speaks up, and Hanji glared at her.

"I'm pretty damn sure we should. Anyway, this could be multi-universal, not only time-travel. That's the best explanation I have for you. I need to get back."

"Multi-universal hmm? I'll need to get banner and Stark on that."

Second time he's mentioned the name Stark.

"So," he leaned in, "tell us the situation in your universe."

"Humanity is hidden behind three walls with giant monsters called titans who were formerly people trying to eat us because they're trying to become humans again. Another group of humans called Marleyans turned the humans into titans in order to kill us. The scouts are trying to kill the titans. There are people called titan-shifters, but only nine of them, who have immense power and we only have one on our side." Hanji's reply was in a monotone, but she was giving them a terrifying death glare the entire time.

Getting all that knowledge...what the hell! It just spilled. There was no stopping it . How am I going to get out of here?

"That was...descriptive. You have no mal-intent for people who aren't Marleyans or titans then?"

"It matters what they do to garner a response." Her voice burned from repressed anger.

"What's the next step Fury? The serum just wore off. It's not safe to give her another dose for a while."

He turned towards her, looking her up and down.

"How about we get a meal? Let's bring her to the tower."

This is a power play of some sort. There must be something, no, someone or maybe multiple someones, who have the ability to kill me if needed.

She was blindfolded and unlocked, hands cuffed behind her back. Pushed to move, she complied unhappily, and was led to the outside of a building. She knew it was outside because of the feel of the air. Shortly after, she was pushed inside a small room, with padding of a sort for her to sit on. The room began to buzz, almost feeling like-

Am I in a carriage? No, one of those future things I saw?

She grit her teeth, only on thought going through her head.

I am going to get back.

A/N: If anyone thinks she's being too serious, it's proven she can be. It's not ooc. She's just in a serious situation and reacting accordingly. This is Commander Hanji too.

A/N: Also, I've only watched the anime so there may be some inconsistencies there.

A/N: Next chapter coming...whenever I feel like it. Oof.

A/n: Anders was going to be Moblit, but then I decided to make it post-Shignashina
