Uhm... So sorry for the cliffhanger... And the time gap... But here you go! Enjoy! I don't own FMA.
"Mmhmmngh..."
"She's waking up!"
"Shush! She lost a lot of blood! And don't forget what else happened to her!
"Quinn!"
I opened my eyes, my vision blurry. When it came into focus, I saw three people.
Pride stood to the side, looking somewhat relieved, Lust with her arms crossed, and Envy, leaning over me.
"Quinn!" Envy exclaimed, looking as if he were about to cry.
"Nghh... What happened?" I asked, trying to sit up. Pain shot through my body and I fell back onto the bed, gasping sharply.
"Don't try to sit up!"
"No, you think?" I asked sarcastically, looking my boyfriend dead in the eyes.
"You've been awake for thirty seconds and you're already being a sarcastic little shit."
I stuck my tongue out. "What happened?"
"You... You don't remember?"
I shook my head, wincing slightly at the pain.
Envy began to tell me about it.
Quinn slid backwards off the blade, landing with a thud on the roof of the train. Envy turned around and yelled her name, forgetting Al and running towards her. He pushed Ed aside, picking up the small girl.
"En... Vy...?" She coughed up blood as she spoke, it trailed from her chin down to the already large red stain that was spreading across her shirt.
"Shush, don't talk, it's ok, I've got you." He pressed a hand against her wound, tears welling up in his eyes. Blood kept flowing past his fingers, it wasn't stopping.
"En... Vy... Am... I... Gonna... Die?" Quinn coughed again, more blood covering her chin.
"No, no... You're not!" He screamed, picking her up and kicking the braided boy aside once more and was about to jump back down through the hole, when a hand on his shoulder stopped him.
It was Alphonse.
"You know... I really hate you guys." He said. "Even more than Scar." He sighed, then extended his hand. "Let me heal her."
"What?! Why should I trust you?!" Envy yelled, hugging Quinn closer.
"I'm not letting another person die, even if I hate them!" Al said, squatting down and drawing a transmutation circle on the roof.
"Please, let me heal her!"
Envy looked at him a moment, then Quinn started coughing again, her shirt almost completely soaked now.
"Fine!" Envy spat, kneeling down and setting her in the circle. Light flashed around her as Ed ran over.
"What the hell are you doing, Al?!" He yelled, as the transmutation ended. Quinn wasn't moving.
"Is she..."
"She's not dead, the bleeding stopped but get her to a doctor, and quick!" Al said. "Hurry before Brother gets you!"
Envy turned and was about to run off when he turned back around, facing Al. Another train was heading away from Liore, coming up beside them fast.
"Thank you."
Envy jumped to the other train, barely making it on the last one. He dropped to the doorway and disappeared inside.
Later, after they'd gotten back to Central, Envy ran into the lair, panting heavily as he carried Quinn.
"What the hell?!" Lust screamed, seeing both their outfits soaked in blood.
"Father!" Envy ignored her shout, carrying the unconscious girl up to his chair. "Please, help her!"
Father looked down, his eyes growing ever-so-slightly wider upon seeing her bloodied form.
"There's only one thing we can do."
"What...?" Envy's eyes grew wide. "No! You can't subject her to that!"
"Do you want her to die?"
"No!"
"Then we've no other choice."
"But..." Envy looked down at her, Quinn's breathing had become so shallow that it could barely be seen. "What if she rejects it?!"
Father remained silent.
"...fine... Just... Try not to kill her..."
Father reached into his robes and pulled out a bright red semisolid, and, stooping over, he dropped it into a cut on her cheek.
Quinn immediately started thrashing around, her eyes still closed. Envy still held her, though she was shaking badly. A few minutes passed and she didn't wake up.
"Is she...?" Envy almost asked for the second time, holding her small frame.
"No." Replied Father. "She is merely in a coma."
"A coma?!"
"Yes. It was a success. Quinn is now a homunculus."
"I've... Been in a coma?" I asked. "For how long?"
Envy hesitated before answering. "One month."
"A month?!" My mouth hung open. No way.
"Yes. I'm sorry, but there's something else, too..."
"What?" I asked, eyeing him.
"Greed... Is dead."
The room became silent.
"W-what?" I asked shakily. "Who... Who killed him?"
"We found out and interesting piece of information." Lust said. "He's been running a bar called The Devil's Nest, and interacting with Chimeras and humans alike."
"Who killed him?!" I repeated, tears welling up in my eyes.
"Father did." Pride answered.
"But..." I closed my eyes, trying to take it all in. I'd been in a coma... Greed was dead... I was now a homunculus...
"And... And one more thing..." Envy said, his voice shaking.
Lust's eyes widened, and she left, followed by Pride.
"Quinn... While you were unconscious, Father ran a few tests on you. You... You were pregnant... And when you got stabbed..." He lowered his head. "I'm so, so sorry, Quinn."
"No... No... NO!" I screamed, grabbing the sides of my head. "That can't be true! Tell me you're lying, Envy! Please!"
He leaned over me and gave me a hug, and I shook against him.
"Why?! Why the fuck did this have to happen?! My baby... Our baby... Why the fuck?!" I continued to sob into his shoulder.
"I'm sorry..." He said.
"It's not your fault..." I replied, but he shook his head.
"I've broken my promise." He whispered. I pulled away and saw tears running down his cheeks.
"I don't give a fuck about that promise anymore..." I hiccuped, wiping my eyes. Envy brushed a strand of my hair behind my ear.
"Your hair's gotten longer." He said, playing with it. And... You look different."
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking down at my body. I gasped.
Instead of my hoodie, there was now a black half-tank top, and instead of shorts I now had tight black leather pants and ankle boots. Nodes, similar to Envy's, started at my stomach on either side and traveled up over my breasts. I followed them and found that they stopped on my cheeks.
My hair had grown longer, it was a little past my shoulders now, and the tips were black.
A large scar was in between the nodes on my stomach.
I placed my hand over my mouth, shaking with renewed tears. Envy just held me while I cried.
I slowly sat up, ignoring the pain in my side.
"Quinn, wait, you're too weak right now to-"
I grabbed his arm, using it as support as I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up.
"I just wanna take a shower." I mumbled. Envy stood up and helped me into the bathroom. When we arrived, he asked if I needed anything else, but I just smiled and said that it was alright. He left and I walked over to the mirror, looking at my new body. Brushing my hair behind my ear, I noticed something.
There, on the left side of my neck, was the ouroboros tattoo. So it was true. I actually was a homunculus.
I slowly stripped myself, throwing the clothes off in some random direction. Finally, I stood in front of the mirror, completely naked. Scars from training covered my stomach, legs, and arms.
"My body is so ugly..." I whispered. "I hate being part Ishbalan... Scars show up so easily, even when you don't want them to."
I turned and opened the shower door, stepping in and turning the water on hot.
As the water rolled off me, I kept feeling like no matter how much I tried, it wouldn't wash away my pain. I hung my head, letting the dam break and all the tears flow. I leaned my head against one of the walls, but someone knocked on the shower door.
"Y-yes?" I choked out, trying to cover up the fact that I was crying.
"It's me."
"O-oh... Hi, Envy..."
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"...yeah. I'm fine."
"...okay..." I heard retreating footsteps, but I flung open the shower door, running to Envy and grabbing his hand.
"No." I whispered, barely audible. "I'm not okay. I'm broken..."
