Disclaimer: I do not own Full Metal Alchemist, Destiria is my character though.
A week had to slowly crawl by before the Elrics were let out of the hospital. Edward lead the charge out of hospital, leaving Alphonse to wheel Destiria and try to catch up but they were stopped by Major Armstrong, Colonel Mustang, and Lt. Riza.
"Full Metal, Light Tamer, Alphonse," Mustang dryly.
"Colonel!" all three siblings said at the same time, saluting. Destiria snickered at Edward left handed salute, Ed kicked her wheelchair in response.
"What are you doing here Mustang? Shouldn't you be inside hiding from the rain?"
Mustang sighed, knowing that talking to the Elrics, especially Edward, would be tough. But he continued anyway, "Elrics I have accepted your request to return to Resembol to get your arms and leg fixed."
"Um, thanks Colonel but we already knew that. You didn't need to come say good bye or anything, we'll be back soon," Destiria said with a mix of confusion and suspicion.
"Oh, I didn't come to see you off, I came to introduce Major Alex Louis Armstrong as your bodyguard who is to accompany you three to Resembol and back."
Destiria would have laughed at Edward's expression had she not been so appalled herself.
"We don't need a bodyguard! We're not children! Anyone but him!" Edward twitched a little.
"Scar is still at large and there is no way any of you can fight him off in the condition that your currently in," Riza stated in a business like tone.
"But, I can still fight," Al said taking a step forward. He tripped on Destiria's wheel chair and fell down, breaking apart as he hit the ground.
"Alphonse," all of the people gasped.
Edward dropped to his knees quickly, "Al are you ok?"
"Ya I'm fine," Al looked down, "aw, man, first you two fall apart and now I'm in pieces, what next?"
"Oh god Al, you scared me," Destiria said a tear rolling down her face.
"Sir, I'll go get a box," Hawkeye said to Mustang then quickly walked away.
"Well that settles it," Mustang said a bored look," once we get Alphonse packaged up, you will go to Resembol with Major Armstrong."
Authors Note: I know this was mostly dialouge but it was more of a set up for my next chapter. If you people have any form of criticism, please tell me.
