Chapter 1

The ringing of a phone broke the silence of Colonel Roy Mustang's office. "Mustang here." He answered. "Yes. Ok. I'll be there shortly." He said and hung up. "Hawkeye, I'm needed at one of the prisons. I'll be back shortly." He said to his 1st Lieutenant as he walked out the door.

oOoOoOoOoOo

"She's this way, sir." A guard said, leading Mustang down a series of cells. "This is her cell. She has been causing nothing but chaos since she got here and She refuses to talk. She's a state alchemist, but we don't know who she is. Since you know most of the alchemists around here, we thought that you of all people would know who she is." He said, stopping in front of a cell where a less-than-happy teenage girl was sitting on a bed with her hood covering up half her face.

The moment Mustang saw the girl, he had a pretty good guess as to who it was, but the fact that she was wearing black gloves and rubbing her thumbs against her other fingers confirmed that suspicion.

"Well. Well. Well. What have we here?" Mustang said with a smirk.

"Shove it, Mustang." The girl replied with vemon.

"Now, now. Is there really a need to talk like that?" Mustang scolded.

"If I'm talking to you? Then yes, there is a need to talk like that." She retorted, clearly growing angry.

"Excuse me,sir, but do you know who she is or not." The guard asked, getting the attention of the two bickering alchemists.

"Yes, I do. She is famous for her reputation, but very few know what she looks like." He replied. "She's the Dark Flame Alchemist. I'll take her off your hands and deal with her myself. She seems to have done enough damage here, and her blowing up the place wouldn't really help." He said, his last comment making the guard go white with fear.

"Who said I would blow up the place? If I did, it would only be this wall right here." She said innocently, pointing to the wall behind her.

"That's enough, young lady. Come on." He said, growing impatient with the rebellious teen in front of him, as the guard unlocked the cell and Mustang escorted the girl out.

oOoOoOoOoOo

"Man. Mustang's really starting to get on my nerves, Al. One more mission like that one and I think I might kill him." Ed said as the two brothers walked to the door of Mustang's office, just in time to hear a huge argument about ready to erupt going on inside. "What the hell?"

"I GET YOUR SORRY ASS OUT OF JAIL AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME?" Mustang roared.

"REPAY YOU? FOR WHAT? FOR PRACTICALLY KICKING ME OUT OF MY OWN HOME! YOU SON OF A BITCH ASSHOLE EXCUSE FOR A F-" What sounded like a female voice replied, but was cut off.

"WHY YOU ARROGANT LITTLE TWIT! THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER! Now, leave before I get even angrier with you." Mustang said as the girl opened the door, only to run head on into Ed.

"Watch where your going!" Ed yelled at the girl, who was walking away as if nothing had happened, when she sharply turned around, glaring daggers at Ed before turning around and leaving, with everyone who was in her path quickly stepping out of the way.

"Who the hell was that?" Ed asked as he and Al walked into the Colonel's office.

"That was the charming Dark Flame Alchemist. And your new partner." Roy said with a forced smile, which turned into a smirk when he saw Ed's reaction.

"New... what?" Ed asked, disbelieving.

"Partner. You and her will be going to Loir to do some research on some strange disappearances going on there. Good luck! You'll need it." Roy said as he ushered the two of them out the door, only to be met by the girl again. "Yes?"

"I need a place to crash tonight. I have a key. Bye." She said and walked away without another word.

"God, I need some coffee." Roy said as he walked away, leaving a shocked Ed and Al just standing there.

oOoOoOoOoOo

"Hey, Hughes. What do you know about the Dark Flame Alchemist?" Ed asked Maes Hughes in the mess hall.

"Well, she is one of the best alchemists there is. Heck, she might even be as good as you, Ed." Hughes responded.

"Anything else?" Ed asked, unsatified by his response.

"Her name's Eliza. She's 15. Has a bad temper. And she's Mustang's daughter." He said, laughing at Ed's reaction to the last part.

"WHAT?" He yelled.
