Disclaimer- I do not own Revenge(TV show) or Fullmetal Alchemist.

NOTE: This is a tad AU, not much though. The only difference is they have cameras in color, and a prototype of laptops. They do not have cellphones or the likes. They do have alchemy. ;)


1908, Edward's flashback

"Mom! Mom noooooooo! Please!" The men in white. They were everywhere. They were pulling him away. {No. Stop! Mom!}

Edward shot up, sweating a storm. Looking at the calender, he shuddered, the nightmare once again returning to his mind. October third. It was the day he was taken from his mother. Taken from his life. Things would never be the same anymore. No. But he was determined. He wanted revenge. Vengeance.

Laying down, he rest his hand over his eyes, thinking of happier times.

"You're Edward Elric, huh?"

Ed looked up. The boy was rather well tanned, but still Amestrian, for sure. His hair was light brown, his eyes gray. He sneered.

"Son of the witch."

Ed threw the boy into the wall.

"What did you say?"

"Ooh, pretty boy's got an attitude."

Ed slammed him against the wall again.

"Shut the hell up. You don't know what happened!"

The brown haired boy smiled cruelly.

"Your mommy was a Cretan spy. You're lucky you weren't locked up too!"

"No! How dare you!"

The simple shoving turned into an all out brawl, stopped only when Marshal Curtis entered the room, separating them. Sending the gray-eyed boy to clean up the mess, he pulled the shorter to a table, sitting him down.

"That boy there," Sig pointed to the boy. "His name is Alphonse Hoenheim. He's a nice kid, but he's had a rough time." He sighed, looking at Edward dead in the eyes. "I think all he's looking for is a friend."

After that day, they had become inseparable. They even looked alike enough, people started mistaking them for brothers. But then, nothing ever went right for Edward. Being a year older than Al, he was released early.

"I promise I'll come back for you! I'll be there!"


Edward sat up sighing, looking at the clock. It read 6:04am, causing Ed to recoil.

"Shit! I have a meeting today!"

He hurriedly threw on one of his nicer dress shirts and slacks, throwing a red coat over his shoulder. Climbing into the car, he set his attention on the rising sun. It would be nice out today, except for the fact there were ominous clouds approaching. He started the car, flooring it as not to be late. He soon made it to the rather large home, parking neatly. No sooner could he exit the car did the voice of an old friend.

"Edward!" The blonde haired girl shrieked. She quiet literally jumped off the steps, and hugged Edward, who chuckled.

"Hey Winry. How's it going?"

"It's great! I finally am finishing up the computer prototypes. It'll be so exciting!"

Winry, when it came to mechanics, could build or fix almost anything. Including Ed's automail arm and the skin covering.

"That's great Winry. We have a meeting, don't forget." He dropped his voice into a low whisper. "And I found the box."

Winry's eyes grew to the size of saucers.

"Bring it inside, quickly!" She said, ushering him inside.

The box was an old heirloom of the Elrics. On the cover, it had an engraving. A skull with two snakes entwining it, and a six-pointed star. When Winry asked, he replied as honestly as he could.

"It's said to mean 'Rebirth'." He recalled. "The two snakes around the skull are from the doctors caduceus, the skull representing death, and the star representing life." Ed said, eyes fixed on the cover.

"That's a rather interesting design for an heirloom, don't you think?"

The Elric tore his gaze away from the box, now looking at the girl, a smile creeping up on his face.

"No, not really. Rebirth. To come back to life." He looked back at the box skeptically. "While she can't," he paused, looking out the window. "Her legacy can."


So. How did you like? If you have ever seen Revenge, awesome show btw(it's on Netflix! Lucky you!) It's basically like a FMA version. But it won't be exactly like it. I am open to ideas on who will be the different people Ed is taking down, as long as they were not protagonists or supporting characters. (So basically, anyone but main characters [Ed] or good people. Ex. Winry, Roy, Hawkeye, Fuery, etc) Also, as far as Scar goes, I personally like brotherhood better, but if you want an evil!Scar, let me know. This was a shorter chapter to see if anyone likes it. xD Also, if you'd like to draw a coverrrr. I would be very happy. Maybe of the skull and snakes. ^-^

Review please! They are very much apprecaited! *~RSM
