At first I thought I was dead I was so cold I dropped into sleep I dreamed of my parents, my sister all the things I cared about, before that day happened then they all fell away all of it I was going to lose it all.
I felt warmth why? is this the next life? my eyes felt glued shut like I hadn't opened them for years I tried at first it was all just a blur of light and colour I blinked it away slowly it became clearer I saw a face hovering over me then details started forming pale skin, blond hair and deep blue eyes at first my brain couldn't put together who I was looking at then my hearing came back too 'hey you ok?' a voice sounded though to me soft and comforting then I recognised her who she was it was winry all of a sudden I remembered everything up to the moment I had passed out,
I sat up and nearly fell back again it took so much out of me 'ugh where am I?' I asked more to myself than anyone else 'you are in resembool at my workshop' winry answered I looked at her again then took in my surroundings I was in her workshop half started pieces of automail sat everywhere but the floor tools sat in boxes and on shelves then I noticed I wasn't alone Edward was out cold on a chair sleeping and Alphonse was looking at me his face unreadable 'so the gate it wasn't a dream' I breathed 'what?' Alphonse responded clearly I had voiced my thoughts a little louder than I thought I quickly raised my arms 'oh it's nothing-' then I noticed the stumps 'no why? why did this happen to me?' I said tears rolling down my face and staring at the stumps I then broke down and cried I looked at both al and winry hoping that they would have answers I knew they didn't have but it didn't stop me looking then I looked down at the sheets of the bed I was in and stared at them I felt an arm grab me, a cold arm I looked up again and into the face of Edward elric his golden eyes piercing through me clearly my brake down and caused him to stir 'who are you?' he asked clearly irritated I just stared back I didn't know what to say or do.
Edward pov
'who are you?' Edward asked shaking the boy roughly he stared back at him his eyes had a look of someone who had just lost the will to live 'EDWARD LET HIM GO' winry yelled smacking Ed with a wrench 'OW HEY WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?' he yelled back letting go of him and turning to winry 'because he is still recovering and look at him he is a wreck he doesn't know where he is or how he got here he needs rest' she argued back still waving the wrench around like a mace the guy in the bed simply hung his head tears still dripping winery went over and layed the guy back down whispering something to him he fell asleep almost immediately Ed left with huff al followed 'Ed wait up' Ed went outside kicking the door on the way 'hey brother what's the matter?' 'it's that guy' Ed responded turning to face al who cocked his head 'what do you mean?' 'he had a weird look in his eye it looked like he had lost the will to live or something' 'what do you think it means?' 'it means he is hiding something and I won't rest till I find out what it is who knows he may even know about the stone' 'do you think so brother he is nearly the same age as us' 'well we won't know till he wakes up in either case' Ed finished scratching his head 'I wonder where he came from?' he thought 'full metal' a voice called both of the brothers turned 'what are you doing here?' they both asked surprised and ed's face turning sour 'great another moron to deal with' he thought

Ed let go of me after the smack on the head from winry she then lay me back down on the bed 'your going to be OK' she whispered to me then I fell into a dreamless sleep I came around later I sat up again I looked at my stumps 'damn what do I do?' I said 'you could start by giving me some answers' I looked up Ed and winry were in the room Ed leaning on the same chair staring at the ceiling and winry sat in another on the opposite side of the bed a look that mixed between pity, concern and recognition of my situation 'ugh great now I'm going to interrogated by a short stack' I complained before remembering about Ed's high temper about his height 'HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A SPECK SO SMALL THAT YOU NEED A MICROSCOPE TO SEE ME' Ed roared out grabbing me by the scruff of the neck again 'ED I SAID NO THROTTLING THE PACIENT' winry yelled smacking Ed with the wrench again 'OK...' I sweat dropped 'look who are you?' Ed asked sitting back down rubbing the lump in his head 'my name is robert a pleasure to meet you' I answered sarcasticly 'where are you from?' Ed asked continuing like nothing happened I paused about to answer 'crap not good if I tell them the truth who knows what might happen' I thought 'I'm from the west' I responded nervously hoping Ed would take that and drop it of course he didn't 'funny that is considering you came from a eastern direction now tell me the truth' his voice was getting on the angry side again,II sighed 'aw well I was never a very good liar but I can't tell them everything I thought 'OK I'm from the other side' Ed simply raised an eyebrow 'from the other side? the other side of what?' I then let a ghost of a smirk play across my face 'well lets just say it's big, full of sand and it wasn't very pleasant' both winry and Ed looked at me as if I had gone mad 'YOU CAME ACROSS THE DESERT?' they both yelled at once 'owww take it down a notch will you?' I snapped back burying my head in the blanket not liking the noise they were making at all Ed then sighed clearly not done with me but it looked like more pressing matters were taking over for the moment 'fine by the way you have a visitor' I sat back up 'who would visit me?' I asked 'beats me but he wants to see you for some reason,
OK you can come in' Ed called and guess who walks in the door OK three clues it is a man, wears white gloves and oh yeah shoots fire a lot yep it was Roy mustang the flame alchemist of all the people to walk through that door I wish it wasn't him then again it could have been Louis Armstrong and I visibly shivered at thought of that Roy entered along with riza 'so full metal is this him?' 'yes colonel' Ed responded like he really didn't like using his title 'hello there my name is colonel Roy mustang' he said to me offering a hand 'I would shake your hand sir but unfortunate circumstances have left me unable to' I replied with a hint of sarcasm and raised one of my ruined stumps Roy and riza stared at it both of them a mixture of pity and understanding at least I thought it was pity 'so mustang what do you want?' I asked hoping he wouldn't ask but it came anyway 'robert can you preform alchemy?' he asked his tone suggested nothing more than a light question 'don't know never tried' I answered honestly mustang then paced the room a little considering what to ask next 'just don't ask about how my arms got this way' I thought 'are you going to get replacements?' he asked I tilted my head to one side in confusion 'for your arms?' he asked pointing it out as though I were a child 'oh, well I don't have any money and I have nothing on me to pay winry with or anyone for a new set' I explained 'hmm interesting' mustang said more to himself than anyone else 'excuse me a moment robert I have to talk with the elrics and winry second' I nodded lying back down
mustang's pov
mustang strode back out into the living room taking a seat hawkeye sat beside him the elrics and winry sat on a couch opposite him 'well full metal what do you make of him?' 'honestly colonel he is hiding something plus he is lying about the alchemy' he said tossing my pocket watch onto the table 'we found this on him and this too' Ed said taking out a bloodstained piece of paper laying it out 'it looks like part of a transmutation circle' mustang said 'yeah if you include his injuries too then I'm pretty sure that he has done the taboo' Ed said causing nearly all except riza to gasp a little 'well full metal what do you think should we just take him in and jail him?' 'I don't know my mind says he might be like a mass murderer but my heart says he can be trusted for now' 'very well, for now see that he gets replacement arms and see if he can preform alchemy if you are right we can leave him till we get more pressing issues out of the way' mustang then stood and turned to go 'oh here miss Rockbell use this as payment' Roy said handing winry money to pay for the job 'wow thank you this is more than enough' winry answered ecstatic at the fact she was going to make more autoamil 'full metal we need you to report back to east city in the next week for your next assignment' Roy said turning to Edward 'yes colonel' Ed answered Roy then left riza following 'colonel you think they will be alright?' riza asked when both mustang and her had got into their car the driver taking off as soon as they got in 'they will be fine, besides means I get a bit more peace and quiet before they get back to wrecking towns' mustang said a sly smile on his face.

I lay there thinking 'OK robert so your in the world of FMA you got no arms and just a couple of steps from being thrown in jail or having Ed rip you apart and I have to somehow get home without knowing if this is the original series or the brotherhood version and trying not to disrupt the time line too much' (I had watched both anime series but hadn't read the manga even if I had I was no closer to knowing unless I found out what the brothers were doing now), just then winry neary bounced back into the room giving me the scare of my life and making me jump visibly winry then went over to her tools and grabbing parts and other bits and bobs then coming over 'good news robert' she exclaimed 'what?' I asked not liking the gleam in her eye knowing that was the look she had when a talk involving automail was mentioned 'your getting a new set of arms' she said beaming at me and starting to take measurements 'but I've only got a week so I'm going to be pretty busy al and Ed will keep you company till then' Ed then walked in too and sat down in his chair 'yeah and after that you have to come with us to east city' he said 'why?' 'because we think you can help us' Ed replied 'uh oh I think they are on to me' I thought feeling the hairs on my neck stand up with the nerves 'well I guess I have to do something to help you guys out' I said giving a smile 'besides I'm getting new arms so I can't really complain about it' I then lay back down 'alright Robert you are getting out of here before you become a sacrifice or just plain dead' I gulped then remembering the surgery that Edward went through to get his automail and that's when I really started getting nervous 'this is going to hurt' I thought.
