Hope you enjoy it guys!

No flames and only constructive criticism please!

Love,

.Wicked.

I arrived in Eastern station just after midday, I had my transfer papers clutched in my hands, my luggage at my side and a whole buddle of nerves. I usually wasn't the type of girl to get nervous, in fact most people that know me would call me a hard ass, but I was nervous, becoming a State Alchemist had been easy after all the training my father had put me through.

My father wass now a retired state alchemist, however back in his heyday he was certainly a force to be reckoned with, his state alchemy name was The Rapid Wave Alchemist.

A huge part of my alchemy, is based around water and ice because of my father. My mother was an Ishvalan woman and did not practice alchemy, but she was a fiery woman who often contrasted my fathers cool and calm personality, my father believes that because of her fire I developed a natural aptitude for fire alchemy and as a result both water and fire were my alchemic specialities.

When I finally reached the Eastern Command centre, I walked into the huge building to the reception counter and the petite brunette behind the desk gave me a big smile.

"Hi welcome to Eastern Command, how can I help you?"

"My name is Lieutenant Catalina Redgrave, I am a transfer from Central Command centre and am supposed to report in today," I stated handing over my transfer papers.

She pored over the document very carefully and then looked back up at me.

"Your papers all seem to be in order and it looks like you'll be reporting directly to Lieutenant Colonel Mustang, he'll be your superior," she had a somewhat sly grin on her face "He's a good Lieutenant Colonel, but I'd be careful if I were you" She laughed.

I looked at her confused but she just shook her head at me and laughed.

"Come this way, I'll point you in the right direction to his office Lieutenant."

I followed the woman down the hallway.

"Now just go left, follow the hall all the way down and it's the second to last door on the right, good luck with your first day!" she smiled and waved as she walked back towards the desk.

"Thank you for your help!" I called after her.

I followed her instructions and came across a closed door with the words 'Lt. Colonel Mustang' written across it. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in," a muffled voice called from the other side.

I opened the door into a huge office with a cluster of desks in a room off to the side. Behind the big desk sat a handsome man with dark black hair and obsidian eyes, Lieutenant Colonel Roy Mustang. I straightened up and saluted him.

"Good afternoon Lieutenant Colonel sir! Lieutenant Catalina Redgrave reporting from Central Command," I barked out.

He smiled at me and motioned for me to sit down, I stood down and sat in the chair opposite him.

"Good afternoon Lieutenant, I trust your journey here was uneventful?" He asked casually.

"Completely, but I am glad to be here sir and eager to get started on my State Alchemist duties"

"Excellent, well as you know I'm Lieutenant Colonel Roy Mustang, as you also probably know I am also a state alchemist, The Flame Alchemist and I will be your superior while you are stationed here," he shuffled some papers around on his desk and cleared his throat, "also you will be staying in the command centres apartments 10 minutes away from here, your room mate will be your new colleague Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye, I will introduce you to her and the rest of the team later, do you have any questions so far?" he asked.

"Not at this stage sir, please continue"

"Down to business, you work for me and no one else, you listen and obey only me and any other orders that are made of you are to be directed through me before they are completed, is this understood?" He barked

"Yes Lieutenant Colonel sir!"

"Great, ok one last thing before I show you around, the alchemist name the Fuhrer has given, ah! Here it is," he shuffled around through some more papers. "From this day on you will be known as The Chaos Alchemist, from what I hear that sounds like it suits you! Alright if you don't have any more questions I'll take you to meet the rest of the team" he flashed a charming smile at me and stood up.

"Sounds good to me sir" I smiled back and followed him out the door.

We walked down a long corridor, I was looking around at all the offices and people, it was bedlam in this place but it seemed like sort of an organised chaos, just like me.

"Ahh Roy, I've been meaning to come see you today"

A tall man with short dark hair and glasses had stopped in front of Mustang with a large grin on his face.

"Good afternoon Hughes, what were you coming to see me about, it better be important" Mustang said stoically.

Hughes just grinned at him and pulled a small piece of paper out of his pocket.

"I've come to show you a new picture of Elysia WITH Gracia, aren't they both just beautiful, radiant women, and look how adorable they look in their matching sun hats, I must be the luck-"

"HUGHES! I don't have time to hear you go on about your family today, I'm in the middle of something here" Mustang glared at Hughes with this look of exasperation on his face, it gave me the feeling this sort of rant was a regular occurrence.

"Oh and whys that Mustang?"

Colonel Mustang turned towards and Hughes then peered curiously around him, Hughes then grabbed my hand with a huge smile.

"Oh hi! You must be Lieutenant Redgrave, sorry about being so rude, my name is Major Hughes and I work in Investigations around here, so nice to hear about you joining our Roy's team, but here I don't want you to miss out have a look at a picture of my beautiful girls, aren't they just the loveliest pair you've ever seen!" He cried out in excitement, shoving a picture of a pretty woman and an adorable little girl in my face.

"Nice to meet you Major, they are very lovely indeed" I managed to stutter out before Mustang cut in.

"Hughes, come on I have to show her around and I have a date tonight, if I don't get my paperwork done in time Hawkeye won't let me leave til I finish"

"Fine, fine but I'll come by tomorrow and show you both all the new pictures I have ok? Nice to meet you Lieutenant Redgrave" Hughes bounded off past us down the hall.

Mustang sighed.

"He seems a bit, errr, energetic I guess is they way I'll put it" I said laughing.

"Energetic doesn't describe it, he serious by the way Redgrave, he'll hunt us down tomorrow morning to show us those damn photos, come on then" Mustang said rubbing his temples.

"Lead the way sir."

I followed Mustang into a big mess hall where there were a lot of soldiers eating lunch, he led me over to a table with 5 people sitting at it.

"Good afternoon Colonel" the woman said quietly as she took another swig of her drink.

"Good afternoon Lieutenant, now team, as I told you last week, we are to receive a transfer from East command, this is state alchemist Lieutenant Catalina Redgrave and I trust you will all welcome her into our team"

There was a flurry of nods from the people at the table.

"Now Lieutenant, this here is Second Lieutenant Jean Havoc," Mustang pointed at a young handsome man, the man stood up and grabbed my hand to kiss it.

"Lieutenant, it's a pleasure to meet you" he said with a wink.

"Get to know before you assume I'm a pleasure" I said winking back with a laugh.

"Havoc really? Be professional please! This is Second Lieutenant Heymans Breda, Warrant Office Vato Falman and Sergeant Major Kain Fuery" Mustang rolled his eyes at Havoc.

"Nice to meet you all" I said flashing a smile.

"And this is my right hand man, Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye," Mustang said pointing to the pretty but stern woman, "You two are going to be roommates so tonight Lieutenant Hawkeye will show you around town a bit" Mustang finished.

"Nice to finally meet you Lieutenant Redgrave" Riza said, a small smile on her lips.

"You too Lieutenant, I've heard of your skills with firearms and I would be curious to see you in action, do you mind if I join you?" I asked.

Hawkeye nodded "Be my guest"

I sat down next to her and Mustang clapped his hands together.

"Ok, Lieutenant give Redgrave here a run down on how things work and I'm going to head back to my office"

"Have you got a date tonight Colonel?" Riza asked

Mustang faltered a moment and looked a little nervous.

"As a matter of fact Lieutenant yes"

"I hope you get your paperwork done on time"

Mustang nodded and stalked off, I laughed.

"Talk about under the thumb! How did you train him so well" I asked laughing

Hawkeye smiled at me "I don't know what you mean Lieutenant"

I spent most of the afternoon speaking with the team, I quickly learned that Havoc was a serial dater who fell in and out of love at the drop of a hat, Breda was a bit of a joker but although he came across like a meathead I suspect there is more to him, Falman was the opposite and came across as a highly intellectual man with little ability in social situations and Fuery seemed like an all round nice guy.

The more I spoke to Hawkeye though the more I understood her role in the group, she was the conscience and the rock of them all, she was very stoic and professional however under that she cared deeply for all her comrades and it was nice to know these people would be my colleagues and friends for the future.

"Redgrave, you need to watch yourself around Mustang" Havoc whispered to me.

Breda laughed "Don't be put off, Havoc has an unfortunate history of losing girls to our Colonel and I think he wants you all to himself Redgrave."

Havoc blushed and I laughed.

"Though, Colonel Mustang is what you'd call a bit of a womanizer, has throes of women falling at his feet including some servicewomen, so I'd still keep your guard up" Breda said with a grin.

I just shook my head laughing "Well if he has throes of women falling at his feet, he should feel no need to pursue me!"

"But you're the type of girl he goes for" Fuery piped up.

I scowled "And what the hell sort of girl is that Sergeant?" I growled.

Fuery looked nervous "I didn't mean that in a bad way Lieutenant, I just meant you're very pretty and blonde, he usually goes for blondes" he stuttered out.

I softened my expression "Oh…thank you" I muttered sheepishly.

Later on that day, Hawkeye and I left the office to go back to our apartment.

"Did you enjoy your first day Catalina?" She asked pleasantly.

I grinned "it was certainly an interesting day, I swear everyone at Eastern is a little bit mad you know? Oh and call my Cat outside work"

"Yes, everyone is a bit of a character there, but it's like a big family really and you seem to fit in pretty well"

"Thanks Riza, you've been really helpful today"

Riza showed me into the apartment, it was lovely and big with dark floorboards and a modern simplistic feel to it. My room was beautiful, it had a light grey/brown carpet with a dark brown textured feature wall and mocha coloured walls, the bed was huge with a giant ash headboard and perfectly matched bedspread, there was a chair and desk in the far corner next to the window, my room was perfect.

"I have to introduce you to someone Cat" Riza called from the lounge area.

I got up off my bed and walked out into the lounge where Riza was holding back a very excitable, but adorable, dog.

"This is Black Hayate, I adopted him a year ago, Fuery found him lonely out in the rain" She said letting him run up to me.

I petted him and he started licking my hand and face, I giggled.

"He is adorable"

Riza smiled "I'm glad you think so."

This place was really beginning to seem like somewhere I could really enjoy living.

Ok first chapter, I'm not overly happy with it and I promise it will get better!

Thanks for reading guys!
