Wooo! Chapter update! I wasn't really sure how to do this, as I'm more familiar with the manga plot and the anime characterization is slightly different, plus now dealing with this homunculus that has the memories of Trisha, it's awkwarddddd! XD

Anyway if anyone seems OOC, I apologize, it's hard this early. besides you should all be happy I updated this at all. Pfft. Why did I? I have a FMA/HP Xover to work on for crying out loud...

Chapter One

Edward lay on the bed, unconscious from exhaustion and loss of blood. Pinako cautiously closed his door, leaving him rest after replacing the bandages on his wounds. She narrowed her eyes at the sound of Alphonse talking to the woman who had accompanied him.

"Please…help him! He's gonna bleed to death!"

Winry gasped at the armor holding her dear friend covered in blood and gasped at the realization that her mind had put together.

"Al…is that you?" she whispered, and Pinako gasped. Quickly, she recognized the armor from her old friend's inventory.

"Quickly, come inside!" she ushered in the younger Elric, but froze upon the sight of what, or who was following him. Al went inside, but then turned around at Pinako, who looked paralyzed. The figure bore the exact resemblance of Trishha Elric, but, Pinako thought, Trisha was dead! How could she be here?!

"Ah…" the person spoke, giving an unsure glance at the older woman in front of her, but then looked up to the bloodied Edward with concern. Alphonse's eyes glowed brighter in urgency.

"Come on, Mom!" he called, wanting to quickly have his older brother treated and well again. Pinako was called back to reality and invited the woman inside, then had Al take Edward to the spare room where she dressed his wounds. Winry stood, beside Alphonse, and barely looked up at him.

"I didn't even know you two were back from training…" she whispered. "What on earth happened?"

Alphonse said nothing, head inclined to the floor. From behind, a pair of chocolate-grey eyes peered into the room, and Pinako noticed.

"Winry, why don't you and Alphonse get her some tea and calm down. I'll look after Ed in case he wakes up." Al turned around to see, and then nodded. Winry wasn't sure what to make of it, but complied anyway.

There was no way that woman could be Trisha…but her face, her look of worry when she saw Ed, and the fact that Ed and Al were so mangled, could they have tried to bring her back….and succeeded? Pinako made sure to carefully walk down the hall as to not alert the three.

"Mom," Alphonse whispered, still bewildered at the fact that he and his brother had actually done it. Winry stayed silent, but sat with tea across from the woman she remembered as Al's mom, eyes wide, but not afraid. "What do you remember, Mom? Do you remember me, and Ed, and Dad and Winry?"

"…" The Trisha woman closed her eyes, and could see images of the house at the top of the hill, two boys laughing and holding her hands, her in a bed holding those boys' hands, and a golden-haired man smiling dearly at her. She heard the names of Edward and Alphonse Elric, Hoenheim, Trisha, Pinako Rockbell, and Winry Rockbell. "I…remember…" she whispered softly, opening her eyes to look at Alphonse. "Your voice…sounds like Alphonse. But you were…a little boy…?" The lights in Al's eyeholes dimmed and he looked away.

"Mom…Ed and I…we…wanted to see you again…" he murmured. "We wanted to hear your voice again…" Winry lowered her head.

"Auntie Trisha?" Winry whispered, and the chestnut-haired woman looked endearingly at the blonde girl.

"Yes…Winry?"

"Did Ed and Al really bring you back to life…since you're really here? …And Al…and Ed…are…" she asked softly, trailing off. Trisha's eyes widened as she remembered flashes of herself holding young Edward and Alphonse's hands and then letting go. She glanced at the shaking suit of armor.

"I'm not sure, but that's what it seems to be…" she replied just as low. A knock on the door interrupted the three, and a figure dressed in blue and black with raven hair stepped inside, flashing a luminescent silver hexagram watch.

"Well that explains a few things," the man said, closing the door behind him, prompting Pinako to step from out of the shadows. "Lieutenant Colonel Roy Mustang."

"What are you doing here? We have no food or beds for the dogs of the state!" the automail engineer scolded. The officer simply pocketed his watch and moved in.

"Relax ma'am. I'm just checking on the mail." Roy Mustang held up a letter whose front was addressed to Hoenheim Elric. Alphonse's eyes glowed brighter.

"That's one of the letters Ed and I sent!" he exclaimed. "Does that mean you've found him?!"

"I only wish, kid, we've been looking for Hoenheim for some time now," Mustang admitted sheepishly. Pinako narrowed her eyes.

"Then why did you come here? He wouldn't be here in all places!"

"I'd call it nostalgia, a strange hunch, either way, I'm glad I came," he replied, eyeing the armored Alphonse. "Where is your brother, Ed, was it?" Al nodded.

"He's asleep in the next room…he lost his arm and leg," the boy explained. Mustang nodded.

"A successful human transmutation, appearing to be at least, and on top of that, successfully bonding a soul to a suit of armor, these kids could give some of the best researchers a run for their money!" he exclaimed. "I think that you boys could qualify to become State Alchemists, and given time with the research materials and information, you could find a way to get your bodies back."

"E-excuse me?" a small timid voice came from the figure of Trisha Elric. "Shouldn't I get a say about this?"


Alrighty then! that's chapter one!
