I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or Brotherhood. But there will be some direct lines from the story.
This story deals with a gender-swapped Ed, there will be no Ed/ Roy romance in this story just parental relationship.
This story was also inspired by : A Girl Can Still Hang With the Boys by Ruby Tyra
I encourage you to check it out
I stood in front of Colonel Bastards desk waiting for the information he had for me, he wasn't even looking at me just outside of the window, I turned to the team and they just shrugged it was Hawkeye's day off so Mustang wasn't going to be productive at all.
"Colonel Bastard?" I asked clearing my throat to get his attention. "You called me down here for a reason now what the hell do you want to talk about?" I asked crossing my arms, I used to put them on my hips but I learnt quickly that that was very feminine so I had to stop to get people from thinking about it. I've been in the military for at least two years now and as far as I know nobody has any idea that I'm actually a girl underneath all of this leather and attitude. Mustang turned the chair around and looked at me.
"Oh Fullmetal I didn't see you there becaus-" He started but I cut him off
"Because I'm so small, Mustang I was in the middle of things so unless this is important I'm leaving to go do my own research." I snapped at him, I wasn't in the mood for his condescending tone.
"I have news about the stone." He said flatly smirking under his hands that he was holding in front of his mouth.
"I'm listing." I said taking a step forward meeting his eyes.
"Ever heard of a place called Lior?" He asked I could hear the smirk in his voice. H stood up and walked to the map that was hanging on the wall and pointed to it, it was in the East, it was pretty close to Resembool, 'maybe we could stop by home on the way back if things go smoothly.' I laughed at my thoughts, since when do things go smoothly for us

Thinking back now I realized that the bastard Colonel smiling wasn't a good thing, crossing the desert in automail wasn't my idea of fun. My arm was starting to heat up against my flesh when Al and I finally found Lior. I had to get somthing to drink when I found this fountain, I was beyond the point of caring so I cupped my hands and drank from my hand when someone yelled at me.
"Kid what the hell are you doing? If you're that thirsty come over here for a drink." It was a bartender and a open window bar with seating right at the window. There was a radio cracking just above me and the man gave me a drink as I quickly swallowed it in one go, he gave me another one smirking. We were sitting at a bar listening to a preacher preach over the radio while I drank enough juice to lower my body temperature it was slowly coming down, the man somehow new I was hungry and put a plate of food in front of me I quickly ate as fast as I cold without choking.
"Anyway, what's with the broadcast?" I asked between bites, it was very preachy for my liking
"You haven't heard of Lord Cornello" The bartender asked, I shook my head trying to think if for some unknown reason I did know him.
"Who?" I asked again regretting it afterwards while the people enlightened us on who Cornello was. I zoned out out leading one of the men to scold me for my ignorance.
"You ain't listening kid."
"Nope I'm not interested in religion. I'm stuffed Al let's go." I said in the process of standing up, I wasn't here about their religious scam I was here to find the stone.
"Yep." Alphonse replied standing quickly and knocking over the radio that was perched on top of the bar's roof. As the radio hit the ground it smashed it pieces. The bartender started to yell at us. I was taken back from that and stumbled over a promise that it will be fixed.
"Uh brother? Can I fix it?" Al said keeping up the ruse that he had to learn over the years. I smiled at him for finally for saying brother without trying to say sister first.
"Sure Al go ahead." I responded feeling pride towards my little brother as he drew the transmutation circle in the dirt. It was a simple transmutation and Al did it perfectly.
"How's this" I pointed to the fixed radio at their reaction to the alchemy I felt it was time to introduce ourselves.
"Just call us the Elric brother." I wanted to cringe at calling myself a boy but over the years I learned that I had to deal with it, it was one of the prices that I had to pay to be in the military.
"We're sort of famous. The"Fullmetal Alchemist" Edward Elric." Their reactions made up for it until the inevitable, the people swarmed Al thinking he was the state alchemist. I flared my nostrils trying to keep my cool. I didn't even notice the girl walk up beside me or hear the conversation the girl had with the people, until someone said
"...rebirth to the dead.."
"Rebirth to the dead huh? Smells fishy." I looked up at my little brother.
I missed nothing ignoring that girl earlier, I didn't feel bad about dismissing her crazy idea of bringing people back from the dead. I admit that comparing myself to a god is a bit extreme but I had to get my point across. She was very mad at that it was almost funny how flustered she got at that.
I also didn't have a problem dismissing that Cornello fraud either. The fact that Cornello could create objects without equivalent exchange was interesting and promising, things that could only be done with a philosophers stone. I was staring at the man trying to find the stone, it would need to be near the object that he was transmuting, 'His ring!' all I had to do was get closer to Cornello to myself to see if it was really the stone.
We thought things were going smoothly until the priest pulled out a gun and shot at Alphonse. Their reaction when Al stood back up grabbed the gun from the man was priceless I almost wished that I could take a picture every time someone saw it, the best thing was it was a good distraction. I grabbed the man with my automail and threw him over my shoulder, The fight went fairly smoothly and then the lady saw the inside of Al. I decided to let Al deal with her while I put my brain on autopilot.
"...Sin of trespassing into God's forbidden domain" I smirked and rolled my eyes at him 'real poetic Al real poetic, my little brother is turning into a girl on me.'
"Okay let's stop this topic." I said while scratching my head trying to figure out whether or not the stone was real or if Cornello was just good at alchemy.
"NO! There has to be some mistake!" She screamed at me
"Geez he lady's already seen this much and she still believes in that fraud of a founder." I was getting frustrated with her, her shrill voice broke my train of thought.
"Rose, do you have the guts to see the truth?" I asked hoping she would agree and help us to get to Cornello.

Hey guys I thought I would fix this because it was bugging me how many people read the first chapter but not the other ones. Hopefully this will fix this if not it was bugging me anyway, new chapter in the works.
