The Truth
Chapter 1
What really happened to Roy Mustang?
"Roy! No, please don't separate us; he's all I have left! Please don't!" the little 6-year-old girl shouted as the police pulled her away from her 8-year-old brother. Her brother shouted and reached for her, they were both crying, tears streaming down their cheeks.
"Lara! Lara remember, I will always be with you! Never forget me!" Roy shouted back. Lara nodded and watched her brother leave her forever. Or so she thought.
24 years later, Lara stood at the door of Central Command Center, waiting to see her brother after all this time. She stood there, a big smile on her face, her long black hair flowing in the strong winds.
"Can I help you, ma'am?" a security guard asked her curiously. She nodded, tucking a couple strands of hair behind her ear.
"Yes, I am looking for Roy Mustang. I am a very special guest." She giggled and waited, finally seeing her brother walk down the stone steps. He looked at her, his eyes wide in shock. Roy smiled big, running and hugging Lara tightly.
"Lara, is it really you? You've grown, so much since I last saw you. You are…really grown, heh." Roy looked her up and down, his hands on her shoulders, his eyes gleaming. At that moment the security guards looked at each other, confused. Roy led her inside to his office to introduce her to everyone. The first person to see her was, of course, Jean Havoc.
"Well hello there, cutie. You new here? How about I show you around." Havoc smiled as he leaned up against the wall next to where Roy and Lara were standing. Roy gave Havoc the evil eye.
"She doesn't need your help, Havoc. Havoc, can I talk to you at my desk for a minute?" Roy drags Havoc to his desk, a very annoyed look in his eyes.
"What is it Lieutenant Mustang? Why are you so protective of the cutie new girl? Did you call dibs or something?" Havoc smirked jokingly. Roy hit him in the head with a book.
"If you lay a finger on her so help me I will kill you in one snap." Roy threatened. Havoc backed away slowly, heading towards Lara again. She turned away from Havoc's flirty eyes and blushes softly, tucking more hair behind her ear. Everyone stared at her.
"Uh... hello, everyone. I am Lara. Lara Mustang. It's nice to meet you all." She smiled her sweetest and bowed. Everyone stared and Lieutenant Colonel Hughes dropped his coffee cup, the glass shattering everywhere.
"Lara, are you, Roy's…sister? How could I have not seen this? She looks identical to Lieutenant Mustang but with long hair and feminine eyes. I am so stupid!" Hughes began talking to himself. Lara looked confusingly at Hughes, then down at the glass.
"I will clean this up, no one step here please." She began picking the glass up with her bare hands, but Havoc grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.
"No one with such beauty, such soft skin should pick up glass. You could cut your hand and that would be bad." Havoc kissed Lara's hand, making Roy very annoyed and threw a flaming stapler at him. Lara looked at Roy.
"Roy Mustang what was the point of that? You should say sorry, that really could have hurt him!" Lara shouted across the room. Roy stared at her, shocked. They have been together for about an hour and she is already bossing him around. He chuckled and got up and walked over to them.
"I'm so sorry Havoc. I'm sorry that you will never lay a hand on my sister." Roy smirked and grabbed Lara's hand and whispered in her ear.
"Be careful with him. Please. And don't boss me around, I am older than you." Roy smiled softly and kissed the top of her head. Lara looked at Havoc and smiled sweetly.
"Havoc, do you remember my mini skirt rant?" Roy asked to break the awkward silence.
"Uh, yeah. How could I forget it? It is the best rant you have ever had." Havoc confessed, making Lieutenant Hawkeye a little pissed. Lara looked at Roy and smiled.
"Brother, do you have any spare uniforms you don't need?" She asked as sweetly as she possibly could. Roy looked at her with a hint of concern in his eyes.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" he slowly got out of his chair and handed her an old uniform from the closet. She smiled big and thanked Roy and ran out of the room with the uniform in her hands.
Lara returned a couple hours later, walking into Roy's office during a meeting, the uniform completely transformed. Lara wore the jacket half cut up the torso, a black tank top underneath, and the remains of the jacket were turned into an army blue mini skirt.
"Big Brother, do you like it?" She asked him sweetly, courage in her voice. Roy just stared, and Havoc fell back in his chair because of a nosebleed. Lara blushed deeply.
"You hate it, don't you." She whispered loud enough for only Roy to hear. He got p and hugged his little sister and smiled at her.
"I love it. And I think Havoc does too." Lara and Roy both chuckled, their laughs sounding almost identical. Havoc slowly got up and walked to Lara, putting his arm around her waist. Roy noticed and slapped Havoc, causing him to stumble over.
"Roy Mustang stop it!" Lara shouted stepping away from her older brother. She looked into his eyes; her own eyes were very intense and serious. Roy stared in shock. She has never yelled at him like before. Was bringing her here, where Havoc can easily get her, a bad idea?
