Edward woke up the next day in the hospital. He had surgical lines drawn all over him, and he was scared.
He sat up and felt something jerk at his left hand. There was an IV hooked up. Ed's golden eyes looked confused, and scared. Then two men walked in. One man had bright green eyes, wore glassed, and a military uniform.
The other had black hair, and eyes, and also wore a military uniform. There was something about them that made Ed feel a little bit better about being in the hospital. The hospital gown one-size-fits-all was entirely to large on Edward, it hung off his shoulders and made him look even more adorable than he already was.
Ed looked at the one without glasses and saw, that he was smiling a little. Then the one with glasses spoke up smiling glad, "Edward I am lieutenant colonel Maes Hughes, and I am here to investigate your case."
Ed just looked even more confused! Hughes then frowned, at what he had to tell Edward next, "Ed…we don't think your brother is going to make it. Alphonse right? Well he was shot in the head, broken ribs, sprained arm, broken leg, and several fractured bones." The man with the black hair and eyes then decided to speak up.
" Edward my name is Roy and you can even call me that if you want, but I am really sorry about your brother, we are trying to find Hohenheim as we speak. I am really sorry you had to endure this at such a young age."
Roy then backed away into the shadows, baggy eyes from no sleep, and wondering what would happen to these boys, he already felt like a father to.
