Iris walked through Central looking around curiously being young had its effects on the little girl as she looked around the new place not paying attention to where she was going as she looked around she bumped into someone she fell backwards onto her butt and looked up at the now flying papers to see a guy with a dog she gasped and started to help pick up the papers
"I'm sorry sir please forgive me" Iris told him as he fixed his glasses he looked kind of confused as he helped her pick them up
"Oh it's alright umm are you lost?"
"No Roy brought me here with Ed, Al and Hughes" Iris said to him handing him the papers the dog walked over and sniffed her Iris stayed still a little frightened by the dog
"Don't worry he won't hurt you" The man said smiling "What's your Name?"
"Iris what's yours?" Iris asked petting the dog carefully
"I'm Kane Fury you can just call me Fury" Fury said smiling at her Iris nodded relaxing now seeing the dog liked to be pet
"Uh where are the others you came with?"
"In Roy's office they were talking about grown up stuff and I wanted to look around Roy told me to stay in the building" Iris said he had only told her to stay 'here' after all she had taken that as 'stay in the building' Fury thought for a moment
"I guess that's ok if they know where you are" Fury said to her smiling Iris smiled her cute childish smile at him
"So how old are you Iris?"
"Six" Iris told him Fury smiled as the two of them walked and talked happily Fury tried not to mention family sense she hadn't she didn't look like she was related to anyone in central maybe Riza but that didn't seem like her kind of thing to bring a little girl to work and she wasn't married or anything besides she didn't seem like a kid person
"Fury who's your new little friend?" Fury looked as Jean and Armstrong walked over to them Iris hid behind Fury nervously
"Her name is Iris apparently Colonel Mustang brought her here" Fury said Iris peeked out from behind him and waved a little bit
"I'm showing her around" Fury explained
"Well I'm Jean and this is Armstrong" Jean told her Iris waved a little bit
"It's bad for you to smoke you know" Iris told him Jean took the cig out then shrugged before he put it back in Armstrong took it and stuck it in an ash tray on someone's desk
"Be a good example Jean" Armstrong told him Jean rolled his eyes a little kid shows up and of course he isn't allowed to do the one thing that makes him happy he didn't see anything wrong with smoking but apparently the rest of the world did which sucked.
Ed and Al hurried around central asking around to see if anyone had seen Iris this sucked! They lost a little girl how the hell do you lose a six year old girl?
"Brother I was just told that she was seen with Fury" Al told him Ed sighed in relief
"Alright all we have to do is find him and then we find Iris right?" Ed asked Al nodded and they hurried off to go find him so they could also find Iris.
"I can't believe you lost a little girl" Riza scolded Mustang as they searched
"It wasn't my fault she left while you were arguing with me" Mustang said glaring at her a little bit Riza rolled her eyes
"Oh so it's my fault"
"If the shoe fits" Roy said under his breath but unfortunately just loud enough for Riza to hear him
"You're so lucky you're a higher rank than I am" She muttered as they continued trying to find the young girl
"Will you two knock it off?" Hughes asked "I got word that she's with Jean"
"Perfect we find Jean we find the kid" Roy said looking at Riza before the three hurried off to try and find her sure enough they met Ed and Al where Jean and Fury were
"Where's Iris?" they asked
"She went off with Armstrong looking for you guys" Jean said the group sighed and hurried back to Roy's office to try and find them sure enough they had just left
"Alright where would Armstrong take a little kid?" Ed asked
"Probably out for ice cream she is a little kid" Hughes said the others shook their heads Hughes shrugged and the group split up Hughes sighed
"No one listens to the guy who has a daughter do they?" he asked as he walks away shaking his head a little as the others went to check around town for the young girl well Ed and Al did Riza and Roy stayed to finish looking around Central for Iris and Armstrong Ed and al looked everywhere searching anywhere that Armstrong could have gone after about three hours they sat on the steps of central Roy and Riza soon joined them
"Did you find her?" Roy asked Ed shook his head sadly
"I take it you didn't either?" Al asked Riza nodded both plopping down next to them
"Hey guys look who I found" Hughes shouted they looked to see Armstrong. Hughes and Iris walking towards them well more of Hughes and Armstrong Iris was riding on Hughes shoulders with an ice cream cone in hand
"Where were you guys?"
"I took Iris out for ice cream and you guys have to see what this kid can do" Armstrong said
the four stared with a 'what the hell' kind of look on their faces Hughes had a victorious smile on his face as he looked at the expressions
"See why you should listen to me when it comes to kids?" Hughes asked them before heading inside they went into the office and Hughes put Iris down on a chair Roy sighed
"Iris why'd you leave? I told you to stay here"
"You didn't say to stay in the office I thought you wanted me to stay in the building"
"And you didn't do that either"
"I was with Armstrong though and you told me I could trust the people here" Iris told him confused beyond belief Roy was about to say something but he really had no defense and sighed hitting his head on his desk
"Alright what can you do that has Armstrong so baffled?" Roy asked Iris tossed her cone that no longer had ice cream in the trash before placing her hands flat against each other there was a small light blue glow to them she slowly separated them and the others watched in shock as Iris made a rose out of ice in her hands
"How'd you do that?" Ed asked Iris blinked confused
"I've always been able to do it why?" Iris asked
"Without a transmutation circle?" Al asked Iris was now more confused as ever she had never heard the term before
"What's that?" She asked which clearly answered our hero's question that probably was why the sins were after her she could freeze things!
"Well part of the mystery is down what about the rest of it though" Roy muttered to himself as the ice melted in Iris's hands she looked at the now worried people in the room Iris had a bad feeling about this and could feel some sort of tension in the air she looked at Hughes and Armstrong
"Did I do something wrong?"
"No not at all" Hughes told her sitting next to her and giving her a light hug Iris wasn't so sure the way they were reacting to her talent she could tell they didn't like it and it wasn't good
"Well Brother can do that so why is it so weird that she can do it?" Al asked trying to make the situation better
"Because I'm fifteen and Iris is six" Ed told him sighing a little bit
"But that's all she can do" Armstrong said "She can only make ice things" he explained
"No one can melt it either only she can" Hughes added Iris looked around not liking this
"You aren't going to use me for my powers now like daddy said are you?" Iris asked worriedly her father had told her that was going to happen if she put too much trust in the military and let them know about her talent
"Of course not we're not going to use a kid to aid the military" Roy said Iris nodded but she told herself she was still going to be careful about what she told them she grabbed her arm and looked away in a rather nervous way Hughes noticed but kept his thoughts to himself
"Alright so who is going to watch her tonight?" Roy said wanting to change the subject after seeing it made the small girl uncomfortable he didn't want her to feel threatened and be too scared by what was going on he figured from now on they would discuss this while she wasn't around
"I guess I will after all you guys will lose her again" Hughes said the others sort of rolled their eyes a little bit
"And it'd be better for her to be around a girl her age" Hughes added referring to Alicia
"Alright Hughes you can take her for tonight Full metal you and Al will take her tomorrow, Then Riza then Armstrong then me I guess" Roy said sighing Hughes looked at Iris and smiled
"Come on let's get going" he told her Iris nodded and stood up following Hughes out
"I'll see you tomorrow Roy" Hughes told him Roy waved a bit Iris waved to all of her well hopefully new friends as she walked off with Hughes
