Verification of Information
“Alright Levi, out I need some time with the pup without the rabid guard to make him nervous. Go wait outside the door like a good boy and when I am done I will share the diagnosis.” Levi looked over at the door to see an over excited scientist. He knew that as much as he hated the idea of leaving the boy's side letting Hanji do their work was the only way the kid would survive this.
“I will be right outside the door if you need me. Anything you want me to know that is not critically important to your well being you can tell me yourself or have Hanji tell me after. Unless it is something I need to know to keep you safe and healthy I won't if you don't want me to.” The kid looked absolutely terrified as Levi left through the door and closed it behind him, the look nearly broke Levi's heart but it was slightly easier to breath away from the boy. Back inside the room Hanji walked closer to Eren as cautiously as possible, they had not missed the exchange between the boy and their best friend though, Petra was right.
“Don't be alarmed Eren dear, my name is Doctor Hanji Zoe. I am the personal doctor to the Scouting Legion along with their scientist, a long time ago I actually learned under your father so I know the way he works. I am here to take care of you. Just for reference though I am non binary so use pronouns 'they and them' please and thank you. “
“What is non binary?” Eren asked with an innocent curiosity.
“You you dear sweet innocent creature. I will explain everything you missed in the LBGT community since your mother was taken from us, she was a great activist. The community misses her greatly and will be happy to know you are alive. That being said I need to know a little more about what is going on in your body and how your father changed you on a more molecular level, I need to know what he did to your genes so I can keep you healthy and make sure nothing in you is going to hurt you or anyone else. I am going to need to take a blood sample through to check DNA verification along with hormones and other things. I will do more in depth once I am sure you are safe to move back to the base with us hopefully in the morning.” Hanji reached into their bag, setting up their current work space and sighed as they had to pull out a needle to take the blood sample. They looked over at the boy as he eyes the needle looking completely resigned to the fact of what was going to happen, the prick of a needle was familiar to him, it broke Hanji's heart. “Don't worry dear I just want to know how to help you so this is one of the few times that I will have to come at you with a needle. I am a real Doctor unlike your father who gave that up when he started hurting people. When we get back to base I may set you up with some I.V.s so we can get you going again. Ymir told me that you kept giving her your food so that would explain why you look closer to starving to death then she does. I bet Levi will lay into for that if he hasn't already. He hates when people throw their lives away even if it is for other people. Just for future reference, especially if you were to try to exchange your life for his..” Hanji gave Eren a knowing look that made the boy blush. Hanji continued to make sly comments about it until Eren realized the doctor had taken the blood sample without him realizing. “While the computer is doing it's thing we can do the basic physical stuff and we can do some question sharing.” The look on the Doctor’s face gave Eren chills, they were a terrifying person.

“Alrighty kid, you are definitely making your way back to being physically sound, mentally and emotionally you are okay-ish but you have issues that will take time to heal once you are safe. I am going to want you to be resting for awhile even if you have accelerated healing. I will make sure you behave even if I have to send grouchy pants at you.” The nickname the Doctor gave the Captain made Eren giggle which made Hanji smile. The kid had the same radiating smile of his mother, Hanji was glad that smile didn't die due to his father. They had always looked up to Carla Jeager, the last time Hanji got to see Carla personally was the day they left the Jeager house hold from staying abroad with them and learning under Grisha, Carla was pregnant with the boy sitting in front of Hanji now back then. To Hanji it was a personal tragedy the day Carla died and the day Eren went missing. To know Grisha was behind it all made Hanji sick to their stomach. “That being said your blood work is done. Congratulations you are Eren Jeager, age 20, almost 21 this march. You are the son of Carla Jeager and Grisha Jeager. Your DNA has been modified with that of a Trost Wolf, one of the deadliest canines known to man, lucky you. And some other fun stuff you probably already know about yourself.”
“Yeah I already knew that though I understand you had to verify because my father has been known for conditioning unwilling soldiers. “
“You are too wise for your age kiddo. Though your hormones are a little off for a boy your age. You have an abnormally high amount of estrogen and progesterone. I expect this amount in a woman who is fertile and ovulating not in a 20 year old male.”
“Uhm that is most likely due to one of the other experiments my father was doing, one in memory of mom. He had about 30 trails, 10 successes to phase one, and was in the process of testing phase two and so far had two success to that phase. I don't exactly know what was going on and the specifics nor do I know how the others are doing now but it was a gene study from what father said in front of me.”
“What kind of gene study Eren?” Hanji was getting scared. Grisha was known for being very good at gene manipulation, which was why Hanji was not surprised about the seemless-ness in Eren's wolf mutation. But the issue with Grisha is that as he works on things like gene manipulation especially in places as as horribly taken care of as this is extraordinarily dangerous for everyone Grisha involved.
“He called it Gene 10-80c or the 'Mommy Gene' was the nickname for it.”
“Eren what did he do? I need to know this to keep you safe from a lot of different things. Though to be honest this is something Levi will need to hear too.”
“I know he should, I was hoping that you would decide to tell him after, I am really ashamed of that my father did to my body. I was hoping to be dead long before someone, Never mind it being Captain Levi, would find out.”
“First of Eren neither Levi nor myself are going to let you die. Second you need to remember that your father is a monster, but he is a gifted monster. If he did what I think he did he gave you a possible miracle in twisted views. He might have given you what your mother was trying to fight for and what can benefit a lot of people. I don't want you to look at this as something to be ashamed of but as something that can benefit the world. I am going to go fill Levi in and bring him in here after. I want you to relax and calm down. Neither of us are going to criticize you or look down on you we want to keep you healthy and safe. I will be back momentarily.”
