Hey guys ;D
So this is the continuation of 'What's This About, Mustang?' ;]
Well, I think it would be called a continuation.. It's going to explain what Alphonse was doing in Central/How the hell Envy came back to life and why he wanted to kill Ed and Al so much.
Would that be a prequel-sequel? I dunno...
Anyways, I hope you guys like this one :D
Feel free to Review as well; Each one is greatly appreciated :D

[Start Chapter 1:]
"The doctor said you should be able to go home by tomorrow," Winry said softly as she cradled her son in her arms. "If you're ready."
"That's good," Ed smiled as shifted slightly, the corner of his eye twitching slightly as he felt the still-healing wound stretch. Beside him, his sleeping daughter stirred as well. "I bet you're ready to be home, huh?"
"Yeah," Winry nodded. She looked away for a moment when the door opened and a nurse walked in, fresh bandages in her hands.
"Excuse me, it's time to change Mr. Elric's bandages and let the Doctor take a look at his injury," The nurse said sweetly. "I need you and your children to step out for a little while."
"Alright," Winry nodded and picked up her son on one hip and daughter on the other. "I'll be back to check on you later, okay Edward? Try not to get into trouble while I'm gone."
"I'm in the hospital. How much trouble could I really get into?" Ed muttered.
"And drink your milk, too." Winry said sternly as she left.
"Don't think so; I hate that crap," Ed stuck out his tongue childishly before looking over at the nurse, who had walked back to the door and opened it slightly. He raised an eyebrow before letting out an impatient huff. "Hey, what are you doing?"
"He's alone now, sir," The nurse said softly before walking out of the room, leaving the door slightly ajar.
Ed narrowed his eyes, swallowing when the door opened further. When he saw who it was, he scowled and looked away. "Unless you know anything, you can go ahead and leave."
"Someone's acting childish," Mustang smiled as he sat in the chair beside the hospital bed, Hawkeye standing behind him. He shrugged. "I guess your attitude really does match your height."
"What did you say, Führer bastard!" Ed shook his fist in anger before wincing back as the pain shot from his stomach. He scowled. "It's your fault I'm here in the first place."
Mustang shook his head. "I believe you were the one who let himself get stabbed through the gut by Envy."
"Oh yeah, speaking of Envy," Ed cut in, already cooled off from his outburst. "Did you ever find out how that bastard came back to life? And why he.. Killed.. Alphonse?"
Mustang frowned at the flicker of sadness that appeared in Ed's eyes. "Do you remember how Envy died?"
"Of course I do, you scorched him to death," Ed replied.
"You're not remembering all of it. True, I did burn him within inches of his life, but he's the one that ultimately killed himself by pulling the Philosopher's stone out of his being," Mustang explained.
"Yeah, that's right," Ed nodded. "Then he eroded away."
"Well, I had Sheska look into what Alphonse had been doing in Central and found something you might find interesting..."
"What is it? Spit it out, Mustang!" Ed said impatiently.
"Your brother may have accidently brought back Envy from the dead."
"He.. what..?"
[Chapter 1 End]
Yes, it was short, but I didn't want to start Al's POV yet.. That'll most likely be the next chapter~*
Anyways,
Hope you like so far ;]
I'll try to have the next chapter up tonight :D
