I am writing this for my love of Edward and making him helpless (ok not really but still it's funny and depressing... just the way I like it =D *rubs hands together evilly*) anyway this specific idea was inspired by BeyondtheClouds777's Fullmetal Alchemist fanfiction about Edward getting hurt and only Roy Mustang is there to help him! It's amazing and I suggest you read it if you haven't already. I'll stop typing and let you read.

OK.

Only Edward Elric and Roy Mustang around?

Check.

Being in the middle of nowhere?

Check.

Everything is too quiet?

Check.

I am ready to begin.

Roy and Edward were coming back from some "we need somebody from the military to do this stuff but the regular staff are 'busy' so the state alchemists have to do it instead" business, when they entered the slums of a town, that wasn't in great shape itself, to pass through a shortcut to Central according to Roy. It isn't very lively around here... nobody is even out and about, it is quiet, definitely too quiet... Edward thought.

He turned around just in time to dodge a bullet that would have hit him in the crotch. "Guaaaah!" Ed squealed. Roy turned around snapped his fingers, creating a torrent of flame (also hiding a snicker about Ed's weird noise moment), but nobody was there. Then behind them the shooter pulled out a knife and tried (and failed mind you) to cut off one of Roy's arms, leaving a gaping gash with blood oozing out by the gallons. Roy thought for a second, Wait! This guy is wanted by the military. An assassin that likes getting paying jobs to kill military personnel... I think.

"Damn it! Fullmetal, we're screwed! This guy is wanted for assassinating military personnel!" Roy shouted to Edward, "He has even killed state alchemists! Even some high ranking and skilled officers! We need to try to bring him in!"

"OK, let's try!" Ed replied as he clapped his hands and transmuted his automail into a blade. Roy distracted the criminal with his never-ending flames while Ed ran in and smashed his gun to pieces with his arm. The rest of the battle was pretty much Roy using his fire and Edward giving their opponent some massive injuries. Finally, the battle was over, so Roy and Ed dragged their unconscious enemy to what looked like an abandoned hotel. Edward made the wall wrap around their captive's wrists so they could regroup and recover from their injuries.

"Status report on injuries." Roy commanded, "I only have my arm wound."

"Geez, Colonel Jerk. I have some scrapes and cuts, not much else..." Edward trailed off as Roy glared at him suspiciously, "Ok fine," Ed rolled up his pants on his flesh leg, and exposed a deep stab wound. "Hey. I can still walk!"

"Fine, but we need to treat it none the less," Roy said bluntly and sighed.

All of a sudden, a horrid scream filled the air.
