Cayden opened her eyes, moaning as she tried to grab her head, sudden pain shooting through her stomach, eyes widening as she realized they were tied together. She couldn't remember a lot, just that Edward, no, not Edward, someone else had kissed her and then knocked her out and that Edward was lying on the ground after being injured. She shot up, ignoring the pain in her stomach and tried to stand up, hitting her head on the bed over her.
"Great. Just Great." She grumbled, looking around, grabbing onto her head.
Nothing fancy, just a normal barred cell. Sighing, Cayden got to her feet, walking over to the bars.
"Hello? Anybody there?" She called out.
No reply.
"Great…" She growled, walking back over to the bed, plopping down on it with a soft thud.
Cayden reached to her side, grabbing for her bag only to find it was missing.
"Are you kidding me?" She sighed, looking up at the metal frame holding up the bed.
Clapping her hands she transmuted a small dagger like thing out of the side. Cayden put her hands up to the sharp piece of metal, rubbing the rope against it.
"What are you doing?" A somewhat familiar voice asked, startling her.
She glanced over, locking eyes with Envy.
"You?!" Cayden snarled as the rope snapped.
She flew out of the bed and grabbed onto the bars, teeth clenched.
"You shouldn't be that way, after all I saved you." He smirked, then raised up a tray with a cup of apple juice and a sandwich on it, "I also brought you some food…and if you're good, I'll give you a treat."
Cayden's stomach growled when she saw the sandwich and she instantly placed one of her hands on it. Envy unlocked the door and handed it to her, leaning against the bars. Cayden crossed her arms over her chest, refusing to take the tray. Envy sighed, transforming into Edward.
"Now will you take the food?" He grumbled, looking away.
"Asshole." Cayden muttered under her breath, hesitantly taking it from him.
Envy transformed back and watched her. Cayden picked up the sandwich and began eating it, eyes on Envy. When she finished the sandwich she downed the apple juice and stared up at Envy.
"Why am I here?" She asked, bringing her knees to her chest.
"When I stabbed you, I had planned to kill you, but I decided not to. Before the building completely fell down, I got the pipsqueak back to the tin can and brought you here so you wouldn't die." Envy sighed, reaching into his pocket (Pretend he has them :3), "Here."
He threw her a box of Pocky (yayz!). Cayden caught it swiftly.
"Don't call Alphonse a tin can." Cayden snarled at him.
"Whatever. Anyway I saved you because if you went to the hospital they went to, you would be dead now." Envy crossed his arms over his chest.
"Why are you helping me?" Cayden asked, smirking.
"I have my reasons." He mumbled, not meeting her eyes.
"And what would those reasons be?" Cayden questioned, sticking one of the chocolate biscuits in her mouth, one end hanging out.
"Edward's auto-mail broke and he's in the hospital. Also I have new clothes for you." Envy tried to change the subject.
"He's in the hospital?! How bad is he hurt?!" Cayden asked, worry in her voice.
"You don't remember anything do you?" Envy smirked at her.
"I do remember something's…like what you did." Cayden muttered, looking away.
"Yeah. Sorry about that." Envy rubbed the back of his head, "I wanted to know what the shrimp would do. You should have seen what he did. He crawled over to you, covering you, thinking I would hurt you more. He pulled you into his arms, protecting you and trying to stop the bleeding. He thought you were going to die. Then I came in and knocked him out and carried him outside to the officers and his brother. I got you out and detonated the bombs in there."
"So he thinks I'm dead…?" Cayden asked, staring at the floor.
"He could have lost his memory of what happen and thinks you're alive or he thinks you're dead, either way he probably blames himself for it." Envy gave her a small smile.
"I have to get back to them." Cayden said, jumping up, sticking another biscuit stick in her mouth.
"I'm afraid I can't allow that." Envy said, walking over to her, grabbing onto her forearms.
"I wasn't asking." Cayden smirked at him.
"Neither was I." He smiled, biting off the end of the Pocky stick that was hanging out of her mouth.
"Well then could I at least get a shower and my stuff back?" She smiled at him.
"Fine." Envy rolled his eyes, "But don't try anything."
"Yes sir." Cayden gave him a sarcastic salute.
xXxXx
Cayden stood outside Central headquarters in her new outfit. A black skirt and blue tank top (If you've seen Lucy from Fairy Tail you now know what kind of body she has and what she's wearing. Instead of a pink tank top in the episode where they are hired to destroy that book it's blue but the skirt is the same). Envy stood next to her disguised as a soldier.
"So how long are you going to shepherd me around like this?" Cayden asked, glancing to her side before reaching into her bag and pulling out the box of Pocky he had given her earlier.
"I planned on leaving you leave by yourself but they told me to take you to the hospital the Elric brothers are at." Envy sighed, rubbing the back of his head.
"I still don't understand why you haven't killed me yet." Cayden turned to him, arms crossed.
Envy stayed silent as they started walking, Cayden looked back at him occasionally.
"Try and catch me." Cayden shouted to him as she took off down an alley.
She kept running until she couldn't hear his footsteps behind her and began running towards the hotel they had been staying at. She ran up to the desk and asked from the room key, thanking the man at the desk as she ran up the stairs to room. She looked around before opening the door and shutting it behind her. She looked around for her cloak, spotting it next to her pistols.
"Hawkeye had it, huh?" She smiled as she put them in the waistband of her skirt.
She pulled her cloak over her face and continued to look for things, finding her spare change of clothes under her bed in a small backpack. She put the bag over her shoulder and walked into the bathroom, throwing back her hood and putting her hair in a ponytail. She pulled the hood back over her head, checking that it covered her face before running down the hall and placing the key on the front desk and made her way out the door.
xXxXx
It had taken fifteen minutes of running around Central before finding the right hospital. Cayden walked into the building and stopped at the front desk, waiting for a nurse.
Just in case the nurse was Envy, she said, "Hello, I'm looking for Major Armstrong. I heard he was he visiting someone named Edward Elric. I was wondering if you could take me to that room or call him down for me."
"Is the reason important?" The nurse asked with a smile.
"Yes. It's an important message for his eyes only." Cayden smiled, holding up a slip of paper.
"Okay, I'll call him down." The nurse smiled as she picked up the intercom phone, calling for Major Armstrong.
Cayden thanked the nurse and began pacing the room until he showed up.
"Major Armstrong, I have a message for you." Cayden handed him the slip of paper, her smile only showing under her hood.
He read the message and once in a while looked down at Cayden.
"Okay, I understand. Miss Faye, please come with me so you can tell me all the details." He said loud enough for the nurses in the room to overhear, winking at Cayden.
"Sir yes, sir." Cayden said, saluting Major Armstrong before following him down the corridor to the room Edward was staying in.
"Sorry I had to call you down like that. I'm sure someone was following me and I had to make sure I didn't say I was here for Ed and Al but for you instead." Cayden sighed as she pulled her hood up a little to see in front of her.
"It's a good thing you came when you did. Alphonse is acting strange and the boys are both worrying about you." Major Armstrong smiled at her, continuing, "I tried to calm them down by showing them my fantastic body!"
He ripped off his shirt and started flexing, sparkles forming around him. Cayden looked away, staring at the wall in horror as Major Armstrong began walking again. Cayden quickly caught up as he opened the door and walked in.
"Hey Major." She heard Edward say, his voice making her stop by the door.
She took a deep breath and walked in, closing the door behind her and instantly walking over to the windows, closing the curtains. Her spun on her heel and threw herself at Edward, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"C-Cayden…?" Edward questioned, face flushed.
She pushed away from him smiling then walked over to Alphonse, who sat on the floor.
"I know you can't feel this but…" Cayden smiled at him, leaning down, hugging him.
Then she whispered loud enough for only him to hear, "When we get your body back then I'll hug you again. That way you can feel it."
She turned to Edward, "Did you call Winry to fix your arm?"
"Y-yeah…" Edward stuttered, glancing to his arm then back to Cayden, "H-how…I saw you-"
Cayden put up her hand silencing him, "I don't remember most of what happen since that asshole knocked me out, but he saved me apparently and told me what you did."
Cayden smirked at him causing him to blush and look away.
"And he took me to Central Headquarters, locked me in a cell…I'm going to kill him later for that…somehow. Anyway, he sorta saved me and got me new clothes that weren't covered in blood. Also he gave me these." She took out the box of Pocky from her bag, sticking one in her mouth, "Want one?"
Ed shook his head and looked to Major Armstrong, "The train Winry's on should be here soon."
"Right. I shall go meet Miss Rockbell there." Armstrong nodded, leaving the room.
"So you don't remember anyth-" Edward was cut off by the door slamming open and Cayden sliding under the hospital bed.
Envy stood in the doorway, disguise as a guard. Edward looked over his shoulder, eyes wide.
"Can I help you?" He asked, turning around.
"Where is that girl? She took off and I can't find her. You would think this is where she would have gone first." Envy started talking to himself then realized Ed was staring at him, "Um…nothing. I'm looking for someone."
He closed the door and began walking away. After his footsteps faded away Cayden came out from under the bed.
"You wanna tell me what that was about?" Ed shot Cayden a glance.
"That was the guy who tried to kill me at laboratory 5." Cayden smiled nervously.
"What? Doesn't be look different? That can't be him." Ed said, looking like he was gonna rush out and beat up Envy then he began to rubbed the back of his head.
"Well…he can disguise himself as different people." Cayden crossed her arm over her chest.
"Oh yeah. Like at the lab he turned into me and kissed you." Ed said, hand under his chin, eyes widening, "HE KISSED YOU!"
Cayden stuck another Pocky stick in her mouth, "Yeah. Not that big of a deal, but don't remind me."
"DISGUISED AS ME!" Ed shouted, waving his good arm all over the place, "And you…kissed him back…"
Cayden blushed slightly, saying, "Only did it to distract him and look where that got me."
"Well…what about…" His voice drifted off as he blushed harder, looking away.
"What about what?" Cayden asked, sticking another Pocky still in her mouth (Whenever she puts another in her mouth she already ate the first one. When I read this over I ended up thinking she had like 50 in her mouth at one time until I remembered XD).
"Um…never mind, I was thinking of something else." He gave her one of his famous grins, blush still on his cheeks.
"Okay whatever…" Cayden said, not understanding what he was getting at.
Cayden walked over at sat next to Al, kicking her feet over the arm of the small couch, leaning against him.
"So what's wrong with your arm?" Cayden asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I can't move it. Well I can move the fingers but other than that I can't move it at all." Ed sighed, looking down at his arm, wiggling his fingers.
"Hmm…" Cayden stood up, walking over to him, "Let me see it."
"What? You don't know anything about auto-mail…except you could use alchemy to fix it…" He said, eyes widening and a grin appearing, "Why don't you just use alchemy and fix it?"
"We'll see, but I think you might need a tune-up…and it's better if Winry does it in case I mess it up more. I'll take look though…if you want." Cayden smiled, placing a hand on his arm, making him blush.
"Umm…s-sure…" Ed's face flushed as he took off his shirt and the sling holding up his arm.
Cayden instantly noticed the missing screw that connected his arm to his shoulder.
"Oh Winry…you really messed up…" She whispered to herself.
"Hmm…?" Ed questioned, glancing over his shoulder at her.
"Oh…umm…I said…Oh you really messed it up and Winry is gonna be pissed." Cayden laughed nervously as she let go of his arm, patting him on the head.
"What's wrong with it?" Ed asked, nervous look on his face.
"Oh would you look at the time." Cayden acted like she was looking at a watch on her wrist then ran back to the couch, jumping on it, "Nap time!"
She dropped down, covering her face with her hood as she rested her head on Al's leg. Pretending to snore she opened one eye, slightly lifting her hood as she looked out, meeting Ed's eyes. He started at her, hand out reaching for her as he stood frozen in place, confused. The door opened and Winry dropped her suitcase, seeing all of Ed's bandages around his waist and head.
"They didn't tell me it was this bad…" She whispered, looking down and clenching her fists.
"Winry!" Cayden shouted, jumping up to hug her friend.
She stopped midway across the room and started having a coughing fit, coughing up blood into her hands.
"What the…? Well, that's not normal." Cayden whispered to herself, hiding her hands behind her back, palms outward, forgetting Al was behind her, "I'm okay."
"No you aren't!" Al said, jumping up, grabbing her hands and showing them to Winry and Ed.
"Thanks, Al…throw me under the bus why don't you. We have more important things to deal with, like fixing Ed's arm." Cayden moaned sarcastically as she wiped her hands on her cloak, "It's probably just from that asshole stabbing me."
"You were stabbed?" Winry asked, running to her friend.
"Yeah, but Ed almost died." She grinned evilly at Ed, but then stopped when she noticed Winry was looking at the ground, fists clenched.
"W-winry? What's wrong?" Cayden asked, placing her hands on Winry's shoulders.
"It's my fault…" She whispered, a couple tears falling down her cheeks.
"What?" Cayden asked, leaning down to look her in the eyes.
"You both got hurt because the auto-mail I made failed…" Winry whispered.
"No, Winry, it's my fault. I didn't get help out in time and then that asshole kissed me…anyway, don't blame yourself. It's my fault Winry, not yours." Cayden gave her a small smile before hugging her. Cayden whispered in Winry's ear, "I hope you have that screw."
She pushed back and winked before walking over to the couch and plopping down, taking out her box of Pocky. She reached in to grab one but only found crumbs.
"Damn. These were good to…" She stood up and took the hair tie from her wrist and tied up her hair, pulling her hood over her face, "I'll be back."
"Where are you going?" Ed asked as he lay on the bed, arm outstretched a table for Winry to fix.
"I'm gonna see if I can get more of these. Hopefully that ass isn't disguise as anyone…which reminds me, can I borrow your clothes?" Cayden asked, crossing her arms.
"What? No! That's weird!" Ed shouted, leaning towards her, almost falling out of the bed until Winry hit him with her wrench, causing him to move back, somewhat cowering, "Go with Al."
"Yes, because if I'm with the younger brother of the Fullmetal Alchemist, who is trapped in a suit of armor because of our mistake, we sure aren't gonna be noticed! Just whatever, if I'm not back in a couple minutes don't come looking for me, I'm probably dead or got kidnapped again!" Cayden sang the last part, glancing over her shoulder, smirking at him.
"Okay then, bye." Ed chuckled, shaking his head.
Cayden looked over at Al, who was staring down at the ground. She walked over at took his hand, smiling at him.
"Why don't you come with me anyway? Looks like you could use something to do. And I would rather have you come with me more than dress up like shorty…and now that I think about it, I would still be targeted." Cayden leaned over, looking into his eyes.
Al stayed silent but stood up, nodding. Cayden took his hand, dragging him to the door.
"Thanks, Al." She smiled up at him then looked at Ed and stuck out her tongue.
Ed gave her a weak teasing smile, trying to hide the fact he was clenching his teeth together out of jealously, watching her drag his little brother out of the room.
(A/N: Sorry that really sucked and I'm sorry it took so long to upload a new chapter. I still have no clue on how to make it work with Al, I'm thinking but so far nothing is working. Kinda makes me feel bad for Ed o-o it's like he falls in love then she goes for his little brother... Thanks everyone for reading my fan fic! xoxo)
