"Were did that brat run off to" said Gus .Flynn and Kai both, had made it outside. Kai looked around like she couldn't have gotten far, being injured. All lucky have gotten out unharmed, other than coughing from smoke.

Behind building I now stood, coughing lot still. "Did lose them, hard tell" I thought, smoke blowing around. I didn't want stick around find, out so headed away from building. Didn't get far, when Gus jumped, grabbing me from behind suddenly, rats them guys must have been close, without realizing it.

"That didn't take long" said Flynn watching me squirm in Gus arms, trying free myself. "Take care this you two" Flynn who then dashed away.

"Will do boss" said Gus and Kai. Both Turing there attention back to me, kai cracked his knuckles. Walking to words me, I gulped but laughed, when saw Kai get punched, kicked by Ed. This got annoyed look in face from Kai and Gus.

Ow when Gus dropped me, running at Ed" Why you punk" shouted an enraged Gus. Gus was soon on ground, with Al and May standing over him." Kai" but Kai was on ground, Izumi foot planted on back, Ed right beside her side as backup. Others are running to catch up.

Gripping right side, from wound id taken. Stood slowly up, I winced in pain. Overjoyed that friends had shown up, with injury there no way could take on two people. Barley standing from wound, id sustained. Place, were wrapped up wound now, and stained with blood.

Eyes open, blinking take a brief look out of window, it was dark outside night time. Must blanked out, earlier, seen as remember escaping warehouse, also judging by room it was Izumi's room. "Finally, up try not move much" said stein. Taking out cigarette" You lucky, wound wasn't bad. I patched it up for you" Lighting the cigarette up, she would need least few or so week's bed rest.

"I appreciate, the patching up" I said groaning bit, rubbing right side. Noah was, interesting person. Though Stein, continuing watching her movements, the metal arm was what interested Stein more.

May pecked, from door frame" Hey Noah up" said May to others in other room, next thing I knew was, room turning into tornado.

Stein held up hand" One, two at time" said Stein adding" not long, needs rest she was out surgery not to long go" last thing needed, to over exert self, and open stitches re opening them not good thing. Noah face bit pale, from lack blood lose. Maybe it would take longer than though for her recover. A wire, attached to arm, had some blood in it, so guess their always chance she get better fast if though about it. Stein let Ed, Al in then so on after that.

I yawned tired once more, even if had good nap before, sure could use another. Not even finishing up conversation, with May, I fell asleep. "Stein is she asleep" asked May. Stein nodded, though it didn't surprise him.

"We go back, leave her sleep" said Stein. With that he and May left room, clicking room light off. They all would have lot more time, as days went by talk with Noah." I check, on her ever not then be sure she ok" even being positive she be fine, on couldn't be too careful these days.

One weeks went by, and I was up an about now." So good be, back on feet." I said stretching, as sat on chair in Izumi dining room table. Yawning bit, with injury no one did too much, so it make up day guess. Not meaning really, make people wait, cuz I been hurt finding who did this, and fix it as well saving Mustang and Hawkeye was top priority. "What's plan?"

All eyes were blank, guess they either waited, or didn't have ideas, for plan." We working on that, with up resting, getting well didn't think much. To be honest" said Al walking into room join others, yawning too.

All use, sat in room, thinking on what do next. Couldn't exactly run in blind, back at fort Briggs, didn't have enough information. Worse case we go in, and all die couldn't have that, knowing that person behind witch was more, clear as her right hand one. Still uncertain if is or isn't witch." Ok how about, no it won't work" said Al scratching head nothing they thought of seemed want work.

"Would things work, if got more DWMA students, and alchemist as well soldiers too?" I asked more men might get us better odds.

Ed said" ya could get that, without plan, or idea who person behind this. Not worth running in and getting everyone killed." Families would be destroyed, having information, didn't mean people wouldn't die. In mitts all decided, some would go look for more information, other have get backup. Things might take, bit with end result being prepared.

Stein advised me since just recurving bit to help out with recruiting. I didn't need, put any more strain on body as is, or worse I could get re injured again." So me, Al, Winry along with May head back central" I said making sure herd it right. I though good got it right, when got all clear from others. To central it was, at least not till after breakfast. Then once all packed all four us headed out, saying goodbyes to call if hear anything.

Ed, rest walked for days, but finally got lead in Reole so of to Reole they go. "Wonder how Rose is doing" said Ed having not seen Rose last time he'd been there. Remembering when first meet her, back when Father Cornello a false prophet had convinced others, even Rose that could he could make miracles happen like, he promised he could bring dead boyfriend back life. Closing eyes for minute thinking about old times, he Al had train headed Reole.
