New story~ Yes, I'm sorry, I should be updating TATMWITC and Ward 17 but my plot bunny for those has gone on vacation, so you'll have to make do with a new plot bunny I accidentally adopted a few minutes ago :

Prologue - Memories
"Hey, Chief!" Havoc's voice rang clear through the pristine gardens of Central HQ.
Ed grinned. "What's up? You're in a good mood," he joked.
Havoc smirked as he jogged up towards Ed, closing the distance between them. "Guess who just got promoted?" he chuckled when he was four feet away.
Ed's eyes widened. "No way!" He grinned, eyes beaming, laughing with Havoc, as he slapped him hard on the back. "Good for you."
"Hey, Chief."
Ed turned, his eyebrows slightly furrowed in confusion at the unusually serious tone of his colleague's voice. "What is it?"
Havoc gestured with a thumb towards Mustang's office. "He wants to see you."
Ed's eyes narrowed fractionally. "Why?"
Havoc shrugged. "No idea. He just said it was urgent and that you should see him immediately, no matter what you're doing."
Ed blinked. "That's… strange."
Havoc chuckled. "Tell me about it. Well, why don't you go pay our dear Colonel a visit? Find out what's so important and tell me, eh?" Havoc winked.
Ed grinned. "Sure."
Creeeeeeaak.
"… Colonel Bastard?"
No reply.
"Colonel?"
Silence.
"… Mustang?"
"Shhh!"
There was a muffled yelp as large hands covered his mouth.
Ed couldn't find it in himself to reply. For eleven deathly minutes, the only sound that could be heard was the occasional tick of the broken clock on the wall and Ed as he slowly drew himself into hyperventilation.
"I understand this might have come as a shock to you, but-"
"No you don't fucking understand!"
"Fullmetal, I urge you to quiet down, otherwise-"
"Shut the fuck up! I'll scream and shout if I want to!"
"Not if it's going to get you killed-!"
Ed collapsed, vision blacking out as if someone had pressed his 'off' button somewhere. Roy sighed in frustration at the gasping breaths and single tear streak.
"I see him-"
"Get that murdering bastard-"
"Quick! Run!"
"Run."
Run.
Ahaha, I can see how this could be very confusing : But don't worry, because everything (more or less) will be explained in the first chapter~
