Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of War of the Waves. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Azur Lane, Shanghai Manjuu, Ximen Yongshi and a few others do.

(Eagle Union)

Leviathan hummed and looked around. Tirpitz sat next to him. The Eagle Union was busy deciding what to do with Tirpitz.

"Your sister should treat you as an equal." Leviathan stated which caused Tirpitz to look at him. "I wasn't lying about that. Your sister doesn't respect you when it comes down to it." Leviathan added and crossed his arms.

"She won't respect me." Tirpitz said before starting to look at her hands. "Nobody I've met has really respected me outside of the Ironblood. And nobody is going to respect me now that I've surrendered to the enemy." Tirpitz added while putting her head in her hands.

Leviathan shook his head. He had seen enough pain in eyes of Bismarck to know she didn't respect her sibling. The fact that it took a simple argument to dissolve into a fight? That was a key sign there was far more issues in their relationship then Tirpitz wanted to admit to.

"I respect you." Leviathan said only to get a glare from Tirpitz which caused him to wither. He looked to the side in silence.

"You tricked me," Tirpitz spat out with poison in her tone. "You used me to escape and the only reason you stopped is because of guilt." Tirpitz added which caused Leviathan to let out a sigh and rub at his temples.

She had a point, even if they had been enemies? Leviathan knew far too well then to expect Tirpitz to just forgive him for everything. He was beginning to question if the Ironblood was anything like they were in his world.

Then again? He knew only the atrocities the Ironblood would and could have committed in his world. Tirpitz didn't seem at all like the rest of the Ironblood.

"What did you want me to say?" Leviathan questioned Tirpitz as he raised an eyebrow. He turned to put a hand on Tirpitz's shoulder. "That I didn't mean to try and escape and such? I know what people do to prisoners; it isn't pretty. Your sister doesn't exactly look like she's in the mood to go easy on anyone. She would have killed me to get information." Leviathan stated before crossing his legs in front of him.

Tirpitz didn't deny this. Bismarck had been acting rather coldly as of late. Her sister was usually ruthless, but cordial. She wasn't a monster like she seemed to be lately.

Leviathan watched the Ironblood officer look at the window. They had no more then 4 or 5 Eagle Union soldiers looking at them. Enterprise wasn't taking any chances with making sure her prisoners didn't escape her.

"You know their interrogate me." Tirpitz stated while humming in despair. "I can't tell them anything that would get my friends killed. Ironblood might not be the good guys in this fight… But I'm not letting my comrades get themselves killed." Tirpitz stated while brushing off her uniform.

"I won't let them hurt you." Leviathan said while crossing his arms. "This entire mess was caused by you being forced to capture me." Leviathan added before sitting closer to Tirpitz.

"Me and my sister haven't had a very good talk in years." Tirpitz said while locking eyes with Leviathan. "I don't know if it's the war or the chains of commanding an entire fleet… But my sister hasn't acted like she used to in years." Tirpitz stated as Leviathan hummed and nodded in understanding.

"So, she hasn't been so keen on trying to rattle prisoners?" Leviathan questioned Tirpitz who shook her head.

"Not once, and not ever has she been like this." Tirpitz put in while leaning her head in her hands forward. "My sister always seems to like to blame her commanders for mistakes. I haven't seen her do that before. Bismarck would always take any mistake as something she needs to improve." Tirpitz said while brushing off one of her boots.

Leviathan didn't know what to do. What to say to comfort Tirpitz at this moment? He wasn't exactly on the best of terms with the Ironblood officer. Leviathan also didn't want to destroy any remnant of friendship they still had.

He respected Tirpitz enough not to try and sound patronizing. Leviathan decided to simply pat his friend on the shoulder.

"I know your sister will be ok, Pitz." Leviathan stated before looking to the side. "Family during war isn't the easiest thing to handle. I'm sure your find out what happened sooner or later." Leviathan added before standing up to crack his neck and let out a yawn in exhaustion.

He hadn't gotten good sleep for several days and now? Leviathan felt ready to pass out. Tirpitz turned only to see him slowly start passing out.

Tirpitz said nothing, only allowing a slight smile to grace her face. She allowed Leviathan to pass out on her shoulder to comfort him.

Author Notes

Phew! Another chapter done! I want to point out Tirpitz is still going to be a bit mad at Leviathan for his actions before forgiving him. Next chapter is going to be in 2-4 weeks and will show Bismarck planning an attack on the Eagle Union and Tirpitz and Leviathan growing even closer. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!

P.S: More Azur Lanes stories are coming soon.
