Doctor Who/Attack on Titan - The Last Siege Part 7

Annie Leonhart wasn’t able to see or hear very well what was going on outside of her protective crystal cocoon, but she could feel it.

Over the course of a few weeks she had sent out microscopic, crystallized roots from her cocoon and into the walls and floor of her prison cell. This enabled her to feel the vibrations of every footstep and conversation within a radius of about twenty miles from her cell, and with enough practice she could decipher those vibrations into words.

What she was hearing now was very disturbing. Darius Zackley was talking with Reiner and Bertolt about monitoring some kind of strange doctor; a doctor with two hearts and a strange screwdriver that suddenly arrived and had caused quite a splash. As she eavesdropped on a few other conversations, she picked up on all the amazing things that this doctor had done, such as getting a titan to spit him back up and subduing it with next to no effort at all, and how he had associated himself with Eren Jaeger and his friends.

If this was the same doctor she was thinking of, she knew she had to act fast or else everything would be in jeopardy.  Luckily, the time she’d spent frozen in that cocoon had given her ample opportunity to formulate an escape plan. The next pair of guards assigned to watch her were idiots that got easily distracted. All she needed was a few minutes and she would be out of there.

Fortunately for her, the guards were more invested in carrying on a conversation with one of their comrades than watching her. It was time to act.

Using one of the tendrils that was already inside her cocoon, she swiftly and silently cut a gap in the bottom of the cocoon and the prison cell floor that she could easily slip through. Once the gap was big enough, she carefully and quickly let herself drop through the hole she had made and down into the tunnel she had spent weeks digging out with one of the other crystal tendrils, and then crawled as quickly as possible through the tunnel and toward freedom.

By the time the guards turned around, Annie was long gone and all that was left in the cell was a shattered crystal cocoon.
