Me: Hey everyone! Sorry it took me a while. As of this past weekend I am no longer homeless.

Greed: And by that she means she has no place that she technically owns and had to stay under the roof of people she doesn't even like.

Me: Thanks for clearing that up Greed. *Back hands across face* Anyway, because of testing for other grades, I'm on my school's computer and I managed to get this chapter done in just one hour. Greed, disclaimer please.

Greed: *Rubbing cheek* Sommer does not own FMA but does own Angel, Damon, James, and all other O/C's

Me: ENJOY! Oh and by the way, the song for this chapter is "Angel" by Natasha Beddingfield.


Chapter 3: Alpha

Greed's POV

"Speak of the devil….or should I say, Angel?"

Pinch me because I must be dreaming. Let's just count my good fortune for the day shall we? First of all, I'm reborn thanks to the least annoying of my old friends. Second, the first strangers I run into are the most unique of hundreds of biological chimeras that have remained unknown of to the world for centuries. Third, as long as we suck up to their leader, we can stay here in their filthy rich town. To top it all off, a goddess has just appeared before me.

This has to be Damon and James' younger sister. She's got Damon's ebony hair and onyx eyes, but she has tan skin that is just a few shades lighter than James'. Damn is she a looker! I'm six-foot six so if I had to guess on her height I would say she's about six feet. Tall for a woman but she makes up for it with her long legs. Perfect and model-like is all that could describe her. Her sexy outfit doesn't help either. She's wearing a white V-neck blouse that reveals her lovely D cup breasts. It looks like she's cut the bottom of it so that it stops at the bottom of her ribcage. Her long, silky hair waves down to the small of her back and her black, leather pants grip her slender legs nicely. Her black toe-nails peek through her black heals. Finally I study her face. It's gorgeous. Flawless and heart-shaped. Her almond eyes are bottomless and her lips are full and pouting. It sure didn't take me long to decide that I want this woman.


Ling's POV

I observe the woman who stands soaking wet in the doorway. I had heard the beating rain start shortly after entering the bar. She is beautiful, there's no doubt about that. Greed is drooling over her, naturally. My focus at the moment is her chi though. It's easily stronger than the twins' and by far stronger than Greed's. Of course Greed's seems to flare when he's pissed. I don't think we have to worry about that for now though. She's definitely someone to keep an eye on. For some reason I feel my eyes wander to her neck. Around it is a black cord that joins between her breasts. Hanging there is what looks like a triangular vile with red liquid sloshing inside it. My eyes widen. 'A philosopher's stone?' No, a quick sniff of the air tells me that it's obviously something else we're all familiar with. Blood. She kind of reminds me of a rose. Beautiful to look at but armed with thorns intended to kill.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts when her dark eyes meet mine. She looks down at her chest and back to me. It took me until now to realize that I was staring and I can feel my cheeks heat up. Quickly I look away to find Lan Fan's face. We've grown….close since we returned to Xing five years ago. I never really noticed how she's matured since we were sixteen. She wears her hair down now, and she's ditched her mask. She really is beautiful.


Greed's POV

James snaps me out of my fantasies when he addresses his soaking wet sister. I've not even heard her voice.

"Welcome back Angel. Everything go as planned?"

Angel huh? I could definitely change that image. Wink wink.

"Nothing came up. There were some supposed sightings but nothing solid. I did get this though."

As she walks ever-so gracefully over to her brother, I can feel the possessive need to ravage her right here and now pooling in my groin. Just the sound of her voice can't give me a boner, can it?! I can't seem to take my eyes off of her as she hands James what looks like a check. I squint at the red scrawl and my eyes widen. Damn, that's a lot of zeros.

"We can get some renovations done with this." James says smiling down at the paper.

"Or some new guitars." Damon jerks a thumb to the stage in the back. "Our equipment isn't getting any better and I'm tired of patching up the microphones."

The fuck? Dark and emotionless Damon actually cares about something? Didn't see that coming. He doesn't look like the kind of guy to care about anything, least of all music. I am surprised however, that my group has been so quiet. Looking back at Alphonse, he's sipping on water and smiling down at May. She's filled out since I last saw her. She's taller and she now wears her hair in just two simple buns. Now that I think about it, where's that little panda?

"Hey princess." Both she and Ling snap their heads up. I give Ling an annoyed scowl. "Not you ya piss ant." He just turns his squinty-eyed face back to Lan Fan. May just looks at me expectantly. "Where's Shao May?" She flinches. What did I say? Her eyes become hazy with unshed tears and its only seconds before they begin to stream her face. Jeez, sorry I asked. She looks down and silently whimpers a reply. "Sh…..She's…..gone." She breaks down into uncontrollable sobs and Al starts rubbing her back in comfort. *Sigh* "Too bad."

"Daaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! I hate it when girls cry." Everyone snaps around to stare at Damon, frustration written all over his face. To everyone's surprise, except his siblings' of course, he walks over to May and starts whispering something inaudible to her.

"Well aren't you just a ladies' man."

That silken voice is directed at me. It's sarcastic but part of me wants to believe she's flirting with me. The chance may be microscopic but I'm jumping on it.

"Yeah well in my defense I've been dead for five years, so I've not exactly been updated on everything." Flashing my signature grin, "Besides, they usually don't start crying until after I've fucked them senseless." To my disappointment she rolls her eyes.

"That's lovely."

Damon rejoins his brother after giving May her little pep talk. Whatever he said must have worked because she's stopped crying. After sitting down he immediately starts up with Angel. "So 'Alpha', you think we can squeeze these guys in a house for a while?"

I deadpan at the fact that I didn't see that coming. Apparently none of us did because they either A.) Spit-taked whatever was in their mouth; or B.) Fell over in shock.

"WHAT THE HELL! YOU MEAN YOUR'E THE ALPHA?!" I face palm. Idiotic blonde. He may know alchemy but he lacks any common sense. To my dismay, Angel flashes him a dazzling smile. Though to me it's more seductive than anything.

"Is there a problem with that?"

"No! No that's not what I meant at all! I mean there's no problem with you being a girl, not that being a girl is weak or any-" and bam! Note to self, don't rant around little Mrs. Elric. She just flat-out knocked him down a couple I.Q. points with a wrench for god's sake! Where the hell she got it I'll never know. Angel is holding a hand to her mouth giggling at it. It's soft and bell-like almost. Sexy.

"I'm sure we can find room for you." She gives us all a close-eyed grin. "Come on. We'll put you in the newer buildings downtown." She walks out the door and into the downpour of rain. One by one we follow after her, my eyes on her ass the entire way.


Me: Well my lovelies I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It took me the least amount of time to come up with so I apologise if you found it to be mediocre. And a special shout out to RyokoSon for the review. Thanks!

Greed: Until next time subjects!
