Hi there, this is my first crossover fic. I hope you enjoy it~! I'd appreciate any reviews and what not.
Also, I make the chapters quite short due to my own fanfic reading experiences- I find fanfics easier to read if they have short chapters!
Oh, and here's a fluff/romance warning- this fic contains strong elements of Ed x Winry, and also some hints of Tosh x Owen, maybe Jack x Ianto if I feel like it.
Okay, here we go, and I hope you enjoy!

The hub was quiet. Just the low ebb of the hums emitted from the various machines scattered around, and maybe the occassional chatter from a loud group of tourists above. None of the team were talking, all too busy focusing on their work; the rift had been so quiet recently, so there were no signs of alien attacks or any of the usual problems that they had to deal with. It was silent. Jack sat in his office with his feet up on the desk, yawning as he flicked through the pages of a report about the unusual number of cats doing missing around the area. It was incredibly boring, seeing as they were probably just wandering off and gotten lost somewhere, like all pets did. They'd turn up eventually; Jack had learnt this from waiting years for a certain alien to turn up out of the blue- a blue box, to be certain - everything always came back, no matter how long he waited.
Owen was bored as well, sitting by the complex-looking computer as he pretended to work, occassionally watching the japanese girl across from him out of the corner of his eye. She typing away furiously on the keyboard, looking frustrated with something. The screen above her flashed every few seconds and let out a small, barely-audible beep, a neon-blue line wiggling up and down like some insane worm. Eventually the brunette sighed, sitting up out of his chair and stretching his coat-clad arms out before collapsing back into his chair again. Tosh gave him a quick glance and smiled with a slightly worn-out look to her before turning back to her work. He returned with a hint of a disgruntled smirk, opening his mouth and closing it again as he realised that she'd gone back to full work-mode, typing away on the keys in front of her, maintaining the annoyed expression as she stared at the screen. Owen watched her for a few minutes before grabbing the paper off the side, secluding himself to the gibberish in front of him and his thoughts. Tosh is kind of cute really... in a kind of geeky way. I'll have to ask her-
Light began to shine from the center of the hub, a bright white light which split through the air towards everyone's eyeline. Immediately, the whole team shot out of their seats just as a red hue darkened everything around them, along with a blaring of a horn shouting out. All the computer screens began to flash with large, red letters; "WARNING: RIFT OPENING. WARNING: RIFT OPENING." The light was coming from some kind of oddly-shaped crack, seemingly in the middle of open air.
And something was coming through it.
