{Introducing Everly. She is my improved Sam. I hope you like it.}
Edward woke up, the sun beaming in. It was another peaceful day in Amestris. He woke up in a Central hotel to see his little brother, Alphonse, encased in metal, sitting in the corner. Al's armour reflected the sun as Ed gazed at him. Also, next to him in his bed was his twin sister, Everly. Her caramel hair covered her closed azure eyes. Even though they were born 20 minutes apart, they looked very different from each other. Ed inherited their father's blonde hair and golden eyes while Everly inherited their mother's chestnut hair and crystal blue eyes.
Everly was still asleep, hugging Ed's automail arm. After the 'incident', she suffered from insomnia and can only sleep when Ed was right next to her. He brushed the hair out of her calm face. When she slept, he had to admit, was when she looked her calmest. Her eyes slowly started to open. He grinned as she sleepily sat up, rubbing her eyes.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty." Ed's response was a bitchface. Everly seemed to be not in the mood to be teased by her brother. She was never a morning person to begin with and to add, she was up late reading a new book she got .
"I'm sorry. You must be talking about someone else." She said sarcastically. She turned and hid in the blankets. Ed sighed and sat up.
"Suit yourself. I'll just go make food without you while you are lazily laying in bed." Ed teased, walking out of the room. She sat up and glared at him.
"Fine. I'm up, jerk." Ed smirked in victory. Al went and got Everly her wheelchair. During the 'incident', Ed lost his right arm and left leg, Al lost his whole body and for Everly... Her left eye was missing from the socket and she became paralyzed in her legs. She had to keep them, but it started becoming hard. Using crutches wouldn't be helpful and they couldn't amputate it. She then started using a wheelchair to get around.
"Thanks, Al." He helped her into her wheelchair. Ed watched her as she wheeled her way to their closet. She changed (with Ed's help) into a red t-shirt with a long sleeved black shirt underneath, a pair of cargo shorts and a pair of slippers. Her hair was put into a side braid and her eye was bandaged.
"So, what's today's agenda?" Ed got dressed, too, putting on his regular black shirt, black jacket, leather pants, white gloves and his classic red jacket.
"The colonel called while you two were asleep. He said he has an important mission for you, brother." Ed sat on the bed as Everly braided his hair, coffee in hand.
"Did he say a time to meet him?"
"Yeah... he said nine." Ed glanced at the clock and spit out his coffee.
"IT'S ELEVEN! The colonel's gonna have my ass!" He was in such a hurry, he picked up Everly out of her wheelchair, bridal style and ran out the door. Al followed with a sigh, wheeling her wheelchair after them. Ed and Everly finally made it to Central Command at about eleven thirty, mostly because Ed almost dropped Everly a couple of times. He kicked down Mustang's door, as usual, and ran in, Everly holding onto his shirt for dear life.
"So, you finally made it, Fullmetal." Mustang was sitting at his desk, piles of papers surrounding his desk.
"Well, if you didn't notice my dear sister is paralyzed! How fast do you think she is able to go?!" Everly sweatdropped. He used the 'dear sister' excuse. He also always seemed to lose his temper rather quickly with Mustang, especially when it had something to do with Everly. Everly rolled her eyes while Ed was using her legs as an excuse.
"I know, but it doesn't take about three hours to walk from your hotel to here." Mustang smirked.
"And why are you carrying her? Doesn't she have a wheelchair?" Ed realised that he left Al and her wheelchair back in the hotel room.
"Shit move…" He thought as he facepalmed and set down Everly in one of Mustang's chairs. Alphonse finally came in.
"Al! Can you run home and grab Everly's wheelchair? I, uh, completely forgot them." Al sighed, wheeling in the room. Ed let out a sigh of relief.
"Thanks, Al." Ed moved the wheelchair next to Everly and sat down.
"So, what's this 'super important' mission that you need me for?"
"Actually, I need you and Everly." Sam's eyes grew a bit.
"M-Me?! What can someone who can't even stand on her own two feet do for the military?"
"It's undercover work. Very far out east lies a country called Japan. It has no idea about alchemy and automail and such. I was told that there have been murders occurring there frequently. The cause of death..." He stopped, sinking in a deep breath. "... is their brains exploding from the inside out. Sound familiar?"
"Scar... a murderer who's method is easy to identify. He almost killed us. Made us three go to the hospital, destroyed my arm, blown Al to bits and even worse... Sam got stabbed in the stomach. He WILL pay for hurting my family." Ed thought as he clenched his fist.
"Anyway, the killings range from the ages 14-18, all of them students at a school called 'Ouran Academy'. Your job is to infiltrate the school and protect the students. If you find out it is Scar, you are to report to me. You will be assigned two soldiers as fake parents to come with you. The Fuhrer picked out two working operatives." He pulled out a slip of paper out a nearby envelope.
"Those two are Hawkeye and... ME?!"
