"Where's Ed?" Mik demanded once he returned from his 2 hour long visit with James.

"He's gone to the back rooms with Newman." Hawkeye said her voice faint and worried. "He looked afraid." She added in a whisper. They had rarely seen the boy look frightened before.

"Fred had this power over Ed." Mik frowned, he'd never understood how their boss could make Ed breakdown like he did. "It's strange, He loves to push Ed to breaking point, and somehow it always works."

"What does he do?" Havoc asked not really sure he wanted to know.

"I'm not sure. I remember when Ed came to work here. Fred usually just makes the new recruits dance and interact with the others in the bar. We were having a rehearsal when he showed up. He had just turned 17 a week or so before. Fred didn't get him to dance with us. He took him back to the rooms." Mik looked over to the hallway leading off to the back rooms.

"We thought nothing of it when they left, figured he was just finalizing some paperwork or something. Freds office is back there too you see. We thought that until we heard the screaming." Mik flinched at the memory. "To this day I still don't know what Fred did to him. Ed never talks about it."

"How bad will he be?" Roy demanded, trying to hide the panic from his voice.

"Depends on how drunk Fred is... He might be drunk enough to extend it or not drunk enough to do too much damage. Sometimes when he's extremely drunk he really roughs Ed up and then usually passes out."

"He hit him twice." Havoc said pulling out and lighting a cigarette to try and calm his nerves.

Mik looked more concerned. "Thats probably a bad sign." He muttered mostly to himself.

"Well what should we do now?" Riza demanded wanting to storm in after the disgusting man her gun at the ready.

"We wait." Mik he told her quietly.

And wait they did. Mik continued to work but often went back to their table and gazed worriedly at the clock and towards the back rooms. They noticed that even some of the other workers were sending concerned gazes towards the rooms. 10 minutes passed. Then half an hour. It was going to 1:30 and the crowd was slowly dying down. The girls at the door were saying there polite goodbyes and encouraging people to return soon. After a long 45 minutes Edward finally reappeared. He no longer wore his vest and his pants seemed to be ripped in several places. His hair was down and flowed loosely to his waist.

They could see he was limping slightly and one arm seemed to hang limply at his side. Mik rushed to the boy not caring if people saw how distressed he was.

"I'm going home now, He passed out." Ed whispered his voice slightly raw. He was holding his bag of supplies and was ready to go.

Up close Mik could see the bite marks on the boys neck. He took in the long red welts on Edwards chest and knew there would also be whip marks on his back. When the golden haired teen brushed some bangs out of his eyes Mik saw the flaming red burns from ropes that had tied his wrists. His cheeks sported light imprints from the cords that had obviously tightly held in a gag.

Nail scratches and bite marks also littered over the rest of his body. The faint beginnings of bruises were forming on his slender hips.

"Let Mustang and the others take you home." Mik whispered.

"I'll call a cab." And before Mik could protest. "I really need to be alone right now." He said pleading for his friend to respect that need.

"I love you." Mik told him seriously. That caused a small pained smile to brighten the other boys face slightly and a few tears to fall which he wiped away angrily.

"You too." Ed replied then he turned and limped slowly away towards the stage and out the back doors.

"Whats wrong with his arm?" Riza asked quickly. When Mik returned to their table.

Mik shrugged and shook his head slightly silently telling her that he didn't know. "He wants to take a cab home." He told Roy his voice shaking slightly. The man nodded accepting that.

"There won't be much else going on tonight. Fred passed out." He told them. "Might as well go home, I want you to be there for him Mustang."

"Shouldn't we make sure he's ok?" Riza asked wanting to make sure the boy got home safely after this nights ordeal. Mik nodded.

"I usually go and watch for him to get into the cab before I go. You guys can come too I guess." He said and took off towards the stage exit. Riza and Roy followed Havoc went to get the car.

They crept silently out the doors and once outside they could see Ed standing beside the bike rack that some of the workers who live near by used.

They watched as he grabbed his limp arm with his other hand and placed it to grip the bike stand deftly tying it there with a piece of fabric he must have torn from his pant leg. Using his functional hand to hold his other arm near his elbow he gently unbent his knees and pulled with his other arm moving slowly until he was on the balls of his feet his injured arm being pulled down by the shift and his other hand.

The three watchers flinched when Edwards shoulder made a fairly loud popping noise and they could now tell he'd reset his dislocated shoulder. Eds breath huffed out in pain and he lowered back down until both feet rested flat on the ground. He untied his hand and then bent down to grab a small bottle of vodka from his bag.

He undid the cap and downed the bottle in one shot. Ed knelt down and held his hair up wrenching quietly into the street. It took very little time for him to empty his stomach of alcohol and seed. He never ate before or during work hours. Ed wiped his mouth and rinsed with the mouth wash he grabbed from his bag.

"So thats how you get rid of it darling."

The golden haired boy looked up quickly to see a dark figure make it's way around the corner and into the ally leading to the back door.

"Shit it's James." Mik whispered and pulled the two officers behind the large trash bins. They could see through the gap between the bins and watched with baited breath as the man approached Edward.

"I know how much you hate to swallow." James chuckled. Edward stood up to face the man. "Remember the first time I had you suck me off? You thought that you could spit it out and I made you lick my cum off the floor." He laughed again.

Edward looked down shamefaced. He remembered.

"Did you miss me darling?" He asked the boy in a cold mocking tone. When Ed didn't answer he was roughly grabbed by the chin and forced to look up into annoyed brown eyes.

"You are to look at me when I talk and answer if I ask you a question." He hissed. "I've been gone less than a month and you're already forgetting your manners." He chastised the blond alchemist as if Ed were a child.

"Now lets try that again shall we. Did you miss me Edo?" He smirked still holding the boys chin.

"No." Ed spat out angrily. The three people hiding behind the trash bins all held their breath awaiting some king of punishing blow. James simply chuckled darkly and forced Ed into a rough kiss. Edward did not brother to protest and he let the man kiss him deeply for several long moments.

"Now, now Ed dear. I know for a fact you can kiss better than that. Has my dear cousin hurt you so much you can't even give me a proper kiss."

It sounded innocent enough but they all could hear the threat in his words.

Edward reached to hold the mans waist with his injured arm and pulled James' mouth down to his own throwing his other arm around the mans neck. He kissed James fiercely and they could hear the quiet chuckle the older man gave into the kiss.

This kiss went on much longer than the first. And when they broke apart James patted him on the head as one would to praise a well behaved pet.

"What would you say to coming home with me tonight pet?" He whispered against the blonds lips.

Ed shook his head, no.

"What a shame Edward especially since I could easily have your little cripple of a brother sent home from his trip. And maybe I'll let the bullies get back to picking on him as well." He laughed.

"What's he talking about?" Roy whispered to Mik in confusion.

"James is Als principle." Mik hissed back.

"I'm not going home with you tonight sir. Mr Newman dislocated my shoulder this evening and I'm awfully roughed up. I wouldn't be much fun." He replied smartly, holding his ground.

"I suppose that is true darling. How's about you swing by my place on Thursday. I'm sure you'll be much better by then." As he spoke he ran his fingers lightly through Eds hair and over his body. Ed shivered when a finger gently brushed over one of his nipples.

"Yes sir." Edward replied submissively.

James bent forwards to kiss him again lightly on the lips. "In that case why don't you take a trip to that store I like and buy yourself something pretty to wear. You know how much I love it when you dress up for me. Take that friend of yours from the bar with you. He was rather good this evening. Shame no one is quite like you though kitten." He purred kissing and licking Eds neck gently. Edward leaned his head to one side exposing more of his neck in an sign of absolute submission.

"You're much more fun to play with now Edo. It took so long to train you just right. Three whole years I had you to myself precious. You were so young and innocent back then." James sardonic grin was enough to make Ed shiver.

"You were my precious little virgin, and now look at you, a perfect little slut." His smile turned into one of victory.

"Your slut." Ed whispered back obediently. An automatic response to what had been beaten into his system by the brunette who stood before him. James beamed at him.

"Yes, and no one will ever want you like I do." He hissed. "No will ever fall in love with a whore like you. Do you understand me boy? No one. He will never want a disgusting wench like you. How would your precious love ever want someone who would spread their legs for anyones cock." Ed whimpered slightly.

"I saw your man here tonight. He could't even watch you being taken on that table he was so disgusted." James smirked seeing tears leaking down his subs face. For him Edward was easy to break. Constant years of conditioning made the boys actions in his presence almost second nature.

When they were together he somehow could throw Edward into a chasm of self loathing and despair. Ed was usually only a mindless submissive after a rough session before his manipulations and it seemed that Fredericks earlier treatment had done the job quite nicely. It took the smallest of nudges to push the worn out boys feelings over the edge. This power pleased him immensely.

He kissed away the boys tears. "But don't worry my dear you have me."

Riza, Mustang and Mik had to cover their gasps when Ed threw himself into the mans open arms practically sobbing. They had never seen him like this. Not even Mik had seen the boy look so helpless. It was confusing to them. Even while working in the bar Ed had some degree of his usual fiery energy and stubborn will. Seeing the boy now was like seeing a strange shell of him falling for the lies of the man before him. It was almost as if Edward was being manipulated with strings attached to his emotions. Like a marionette.

"He never wanted you, Even then precious. You only wanted him to notice you isn't that right?" They saw Ed nod vigorously into the mans chest.

Edward couldn't stop himself from clutching to the man he loathed so much. He was helpless against the truths spilling from James' mouth. Roy didn't love him. Would never love him. He knew James didn't love him either but the man was a superb actor and that was what he needed. He needed someone to pretend to love him. He knew it was illogical to rely on the man who had forced him into giving out sexual favors at 14.

He knew that he should not place any modicum of trust to the man that had stolen his virginity. But he needed this. Some perverted imitation of equivalency. He gave to James and the man in return gave him love that no other could possibly give. He'd argued with himself over the issue on numerous occasions and still he would run into the wretched mans open arms. James was not always kind, more often then not he was crueler and more violent than many. But there were those few times... Edward knew he was placing false hope in the gentle caresses as James took him slowly and carefully. He knew that giving in to this mans charade was not benefitting himself.

The first time James had taken him he had been cruel and vicious. At 14 Edward had not known what to expect from sex. He'd hated the games James would play with him but at the same time he craved the occasional gentle touch or kiss.

At 15 James' strict punishing ways of training for Ed was complete. He'd started a new training regime of to give the blond rewards for good behavior. Starved for love Edward had given in. At that time if he'd been good James would give him presents and would spend time to focus solely on Edwards own pleasure. The man could be as kind as he was cruel and that harsh duality had the power to control Eds emotions like nothing else seemed to.

He rarely fought James' advances and desires partly because the man had such control over Als life and Edwards secrets and also partly because he needed the man. So now as he was held so gently in his demonic angels arms he couldn't help but crave more.

"Please don't leave me." He begged the man over and over again. Not caring if he sounded pathetic, not caring if the love of his life Roy Mustang would never care for him. All he could ever want in this moment was the man that was his enemy and in some ways lover, he needed this comfort. Knowing that as James said he would never receive it from anyone else once they truly knew who and what he was.

"Thats right beautiful, I'll never leave you." His eyes went over Eds head and looked directly at the tree persons hiding in the shadows. His eyes looked into Rizas and she hurriedly looked away. They trailed over to Miks and he winked at the boy in amusement. He held Roys eyes the longest. His mouth twisting into a vicious smile of evil glee.

Roy now understood this was for him. This show of Edwards need for James. The way the broken boy clung to the man was to hurt Roy. To negate his feelings towards the blond. To scare him away.

James' grin grew wider still as Roy glared back at him. He winked at the hidden man and said again loudly making sure they could hear.

"Come home with me precious."

Roy watched Ed tense lightly and he let his breath whoosh out in relief. The boy was now wary and trying to get away from James. Mik too looked happier even though his expression was still grim.

But then Roy saw that James was still smiling at him and he knew it wasn't over yet.

"No games tonight hun I promise. Come home and let me make love to you." He purred out. "I'll make all the hurt go away, let me love you baby. Let me love you. He'll never give you this my little dove. Tonight is all about you."

Roys heart stopped. Edward had ceased his efforts to get away. He was now looking up into James' face with a hopeful expression that made Roy sick. How could he just stand here and watch the man take advantage of his Edward. He made a move to go out and face the man but was stopped by Miks hand.

"Al needs this, he'll hate you if you make James angry." He whispered. "I don't like this anymore than you do but Edward needs James to make sure Al has a good life. I have to respect Ed's wishes." He whispered. But they could all see this had nothing to do with Al.

James looked once towards Roy then down into the blondes wide golden eyes.

"Would you like that angel? I would lay you down nicely onto that wonderful bed you're so fond of in the blue room. Just like a lover should. Can you just feel how gently I would prepare you with my fingers and my tongue until you were begging me for more. No toys, no games just you and I. You know I could love you so nice Edward my love." He was looking down at Edward his face gentle and open. Edward pressed himself closer to the man.

"Just us..." Ed whispered, entranced.

"Just us." James replied knowing he'd won. His joy filled brown eyes flicked back to catch Roys furious black ones.

"I want to be inside you so badly darling. Do you want that? Can you feel me already?"

They saw Ed flush with arousal. "Yes, oh please, yes." He moaned back going up on his toes to kiss the man passionately.

Riza looked away and sank down to sit on the cold cement. This horrid man had managed to use the boy she thought of as a son for years and here he was yet again seducing the teen back into his clutches and she was unable to prevent it from happening.

"Precious can you feel how much I want this?" James said silkily coaxing Edwards hand down to cup his erection. Ed moaned and kissed him again.

"Please James! Please baby take me home!" Ed moaned desperate for the mans touch. James pushed the smaller body away from his gently.

"You're sure you want this?" He asked the boy.

"Please love me!" Ed cried out with a tiny sob. He needed this.

Roy growled low in his throat as the triumphant grin returned to James' face. They knew this was not Ed faking it to please. Edward truly wanted James in that moment and it broke Roys heart to see the boy so craved for love. Love Roy should have given to him. Love that this man was so capable of faking.

"As you wish."
