Warnings: Possible OCCness, you are all warned.
Now let's move on to the story.
Enjoy~
The sky above Central was dark and gloomy, signs of an approaching storm. Lightning strikes frequently lit up to dark sky furthering the suspicions of the approaching rain. Despite the oncoming storm people skittered around the streets here and there. Even in the military headquarters life was busy despite the weather.
Although for others the weather was a mirror of what they were feeling inside. Such was the case of a young girl of about 15. She was sitting in front of the gates of Central HQ with the knees pulled up to her chest and her chin resting against her knees. The girl had long silvery hair which in her current position was long enough so that it was touching the ground. Her downcast eyes where a dark emerald green. However the oddest feature on her frail body was her arms, which were wrapped around her knees. They were covered in alchemical arrays and symbols of unknown nature.
The teen who was pushing onto her second hour of sitting there at a corner of the gates to the HQ was unnoticed by anyone, was finally noticed just as the heavy rain clouds began to spit water upon the world below.
The person or rather people that found the depressed and confused teenager were a short teen with blond hair tied up in a braid, bangs framing his face with an antenna like piece of hair sticking up on his head. The boy had golden eyes paired with a curious expression. Next to him stood a giant suit of armor that further dwarfed the size of the boy.
"Hey, this is military property. No civilians allowed." The blond haired boy spoke carefully.
"You should go home miss." The giant suit f armor spoke in a much friendlier tone than that of the shorter male.
The silver haired girl slowly raised her head and looked at the mismatched pair with distant yet slightly red/puffy dark emerald eyes. The golden eyed teen who was getting impatient was slightly taken aback by the girl's appearance.
"Brother, maybe we should take her to the Colonel."The suit of armor spoke. "She seems to be waiting for someone to let her inside"
"Al, what would a civilian want with the military?" the shorter of the two asked.
"Maybe she's looking for help? The Colonel will know what to do." the armor said.
The blond haired boy frowned, but found himself agreeing with his brother. He gave up the hopes of getting inside somewhat dry.
"Hi there!" The blond greeted.
"Hi! What's your name?" The suit of armor asked in a super friendly tone.
The silverette looked at both of them silently and distrusting.
Maybe they can help me she thought to herself.
"Uhm…My name is Serena Woods. What are yours?" Serena asked cautiously.
"My name is Edward…" The golden eyed boy said. "Edward Elric."
"And mine is Alphonse Elric." The suit of armor said. "But you can call me Al, everyone does."
"Elric….brothers….but you look nothing alike! Well I wouldn't know because one of you is in a gigantic suit of armor." The silver haired teen said incredulously.
"Yeah, we get that a lot. Now can we get out of the rain before it soaks my bones." Ed said none too nicely.
"We were sensing that you maybe wanted to go inside." Al added much more nicely.
"Oh…yes." Serena said as she got up.
The girl didn't look anymore chipper than when they had found her two minutes ago.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~
As the trio walked into the HQ with Ed and al taking the lead and Serena trailing behind them. Ed turned to his brother and whispered.
"Al, did you see her arms?"
"Yeah, what about them?"The younger of the two whispered back.
"They are all covered in alchemy arrays and symbols I don't know. Do you think she's an alchemist? Or do you think she's like Scar?"
"I doubt she's like Scar, she seems so depressed. I don't know about her being an alchemist though, she probably isn't."
The conversation between the two brothers halted as they grudgingly neared the Colonel's office.
"Here we are." Al announced t Serena who had suddenly found the floor extremely interesting.
The silverette felt a heavy hand on the shoulder and looked up to see Al.
"Don't worry, the Colonel may be a bit arrogant and lazy, but he'll be nice and help you. I promise." Alphonse said sympathetically.
"O…Okay." Serena stammered slightly, as if she was afraid.
The two brothers looked at each other before Edward knocked on the wooden door.
Serena seemed to be having a silent panic attack; she looked very frightened and unsure of her surroundings. This made the Elric brothers wonder what had happened to the girl to make her act this way.
"Come in!" A voice rang from inside the room.
Edward looked back at Serena and grinned reassuringly before he opened the door.
The blond stepped into the office and he was followed by Serena and Al. The latter was gently pushing the former.
Serena looked around the unfamiliar surroundings with wide eyes.
There was a young looking man sitting behind the desk in the far side of the room. He has short black hair and black-blue eyes.
The man stood sat up straight when he saw a civilian in his office.
"Who's this, Fullmetal?" The raven haired Colonel asked raising an eyebrow at the bunch. A female military personnel with dirty blond hair clipped up in a messy bun came into the room with two towels. One she placed on Ed's shoulders and the other she placed on Serena's. The girl gladly wrapped the towel tighter around her frail, wet form.
"Uh…Mustang this is Serena Woods. We found her in front f the gates and thought you might help her more than we can.
Colonel Mustang inspected the girl as she sat down upon the couch in his office.
"Do you know anything about her?" Mustang asked sternly.
"Besides her name? No, but she seems more frightened than anything else, so I don't think she's a threat to us." The younger alchemist told his superior.
"So a girl appears out of basically nowhere in front of military headquarters and no one knows anything?" the raven haired Colonel asked.
"That's pretty much exact." The Fullmetal Alchemist said.
Mustang rubbed the bridge of his nose with his thumb and index finger and let out a heavy sigh. He then stood up and looked in Serena's direction again. The raven haired man was met with frightened and confused eyes.
Something moved within the Colonel's steel heart at the girl's pathetic gaze.
"I'll see what I can do to help." The Colonel spoke up after a while of internally conflicting with himself.
"Are you sure about this Colonel?" The blond female asked.
"Yes I'm sure Lieutenant Hawkeye." The raven haired Colonel replied.
"You are all dismissed. Leave." Mustang dismissed.
"But…" A collection of voices protested.
"Leave. I'll handle it." Colonel Mustang ordered.
Reluctantly the Elric brothers and Hawkeye all left the office.
Once they were gone Mustang sat down next to Serena.
"My name is Roy Mustang. I'm here to help you if you wish." Roy said smoothly.
Serena simply gave Roy an unsure glance, obviously still frightened. Slowly she nodded letting the man know that she understood.
"Where is your family? Where do you live?" Roy questioned.
"I…I don't know! I don't remember!" the silver haired teen exclaimed her eyes getting teary.
