Raining again he thought staring out the window of their quite apartment. Where are we going he

though that as he placed his hot coffee down .He sighed a loud as he looked down to his feet. The one that flesh and the other metal. He flex his metal ankle some as he cringed in pain. His joints always hurt like this when it rained.

"10 years" he stated to know one but his self out loud. How it sounded so much longer when he heard it from his lips. As he stared down he noticed the paper from earlier had fallen. He lean to pick it up it read year 1933 Germany worst depression it had ever seen. A picture of a man named Hitler on the front of it with the words NEW HOPE. Ed saw him as the devil yet so many saw him to be Germany's savior. Italy was in no better shape with fascism on the rise. Also it seem this country across sea called America was not fairing well either. Everywhere there was tough time and hardship to count. Ed knew that even with out reading anymore he set the paper down and proceeded to make some tea. Al would surely want something warm when he gets in from work. The water boiled as he when back to the paper ironically to look for a job in this deep depression. It was then he was reminded how he loss his job 2 weeks ago. He was a welder till the day some Nazis marched in jerked him out of the shop and told him never come back. Ed hadn't the slightest clue what it was about only that when he turned to ejected he heard gun fire. Then the screams came next. Ed laid his head down on the table the horror was playing again in his head.

FLASHBACK

"WINRY! "He called for her the one he knew was the Winry of this world. He looked up to see her rushing to him arms in the air

"EDWARD!GO! GO!" She screamed with tears in her eyes.

"WINRY!" He shouted as he ran towards her only to be stopped in his tracks by another noise. He

watched as her face grew with horror and then she. He jolted forward dropping to her side. The blood poured out her chest now as she looked up at him. He knew this look all to well and it reminded him of his

mother's before she died.

"Don't move ah no" he cried out. It was all he managed to say before her eyes glazed over with death. She was gone her body still warm from life. The life there now gone. He held her tightly not caring about the danger behind him and put his head down against her limp shoulder. He prayed who ever shot her had one more bullet left for him, but it never came. There was silent until a loud explode rocked the earth

throwing Ed back. He held tight to her as he landed hard from the force. He looked toward the building were a fiery scene greeted him. The building was burning to the ground feeling the heat against his skin he held her close as he watched in all. He regardless of her lifeless body he could not leave her and cried out as he got to his feet. He held her lifeless body in his arms as he watched the house burn. He knew now Urey and Sara were long burnt in the flames and out of his reach. He buried her along a river side in the night .He later learned the Rockwells were killed due to political executions order by Hitler himself for his rise to power. He read it in the paper days later. Brother… Brother??? BROTHER!!!

END OF FLASH BACK

Al was calling him feverish now as Ed's head shot up . Al looked stricken with fear as he saw the swear and tears roll down Ed face. Brother sure does let thing get to him here ten times more then at home he thought walking over to Ed. Ed just stared at him until Al placed both hands on his shoulders and looked him in the eyes.

"Brother does it hurt?" he said in question rubbing the metal shoulder gently. Ed could just hitch the cry in his throat and smiled thoughtfully at his clueless brother. He never told Al of the Rockwell. He didn't want to see him hurt and Al was away in Berlin for schooling at the time. He had little knowledge to ask about the Rockwells. Ed made sure he kept Al far from look a likes as much as he could so not to damage his little brother more.

"A little AL I am just up set it stopped me from working that's all" He said softly looking pitiful. Yes he had lied to AL about why he stopped working ,maybe a little. His arm did hurt now but that is not why he stopped working. He saw Al's eyes light up as the kettle started to whistle and then screaming. The water he thought as he watched AL rushing away.

"WOW! Brother what are you trying to do burn this place down?" he said in a sober tone as he pulled

the kettle off the stove. Sure why not as cold and as miserable a night it Ed thought sadly as he watched

Al clean the spilled water.
