"You want to what?" Riza asked Roy in complete shock one morning.

Roy glanced up from his paper before he picked up the coffee she had just brought in. It was still early and they were the only ones in the office at the current moment. Roy smirked as he placed the coffee back on the desk.

"I want to take Edward with me to the next meeting. Every Colonel has their body guard for the meeting. I decided to let the little runt come with me." He said as she opened her mouth in surprise.

She composed her face and tried not to get ticked off. She liked the boy. He was a great kid and was sweet in his own way. But he was still a kid and she couldn't help but see how inexperienced he was. He wasn't cut out for the military! And Roy was asking the boy to become his temporary body guard?

Ed would try to kill the colonel in his sleep!

"Now don't get me wrong Hawkeye. I only trust you to have my back. I'm taking Ed because I want to give him some more experience in the field of politics." He said as she quickly snapped out of her thoughts. She kept the look of relief from crossing her face. She wouldn't have taken the situation of Ed become Roy's personal body guard quite lightly.

That was her job after all.

Then a question flittered into her mind as she shuffled papers on his desk. "Why does he need experience on politics? If anything he needs experience in the battlefield." She stated as he gave a sigh and leaned back in his chair.

"I don't want to send Ed out into a war. I want him to see different ways of taking on a fight. He only knows how to use his fists. I'm sure in the future he could become a great person. Shit maybe even Fuhrer!"

Riza couldn't exactly see a country being run by a 12 year old boy.

"But he won't get anywhere without some experience in the field of politics. This meeting will set some things into perspective." He said calmly as Riza nodded and then began to walk to her desk.

She couldn't shake the image of all military personal being forced to wear a red outfit instead of the blue if Ed was Fuhrer. Edward being Fuhrer was a slightly scary idea.


Edward gave a huge yawn as he opened the door to his apartment and began to walk lazily down the stairs. It was Saturday morning and Mustang said he could take the day off. Which was good since Laura would be out of town for a few days and he was left with watching Alphonse. She also said to answer any calls and take message.

Only because he was probably the only person she trusted in the whole building. Most of the other people in the apartment complex didn't bother to come out or converse. And no one ever tried to steal from each other. Plus Ed had a few tricks up his sleeves if someone stole from him. So he left the door open and walked to the counter and then pulled the phone off the carrier.

"Hello?" He said while trying to mute another yawn.

"Fullmetal?" A deep sarcastic (well it sounded sarcastic to Edward!) voice said. Ed groaned and slammed his forehead to the counter top before answering.

"What do you want Mustang?" The other man chuckled.

"I want you to come in today and attend an important meeting with me. Come to the office so I can brief you. And wear the damn uniform Fullmetal." The man said as Ed frowned and rubbed at his eyes.

"But I don't have anyone to watch Alphonse for me. Laura's out of town." He mumbled as Mustang hummed.

"Bring him to the office. Hawkeye will watch him until we return." He said. Ed sighed. There was no getting out of this.

"I hate you." He growled. There was a dark chuckle from the other end as Ed grew tempted to throw the phone across the room.

"I'll see you soon Fullmetal."

Edward walked back upstairs and started to toss things around. He prepared a quick bag for Alphonse and then looked under his bed. He was going to kill Mustang after the meeting. He looked completely ridiculous.

Like a child trying on his father's clothes.

Well that was going over the top but he still looked ridiculous. He snapped the buttons into place while he tucked in his white shirt and adjusted the butt skirt. He didn't have a gun so the belt looked pretty much normal. Once the outfit was adjusted he began to think of multiple ways to kill Mustang.

Most ended with the man getting tortured by his gloves. He wasn't sure how it would work but he was going to make it work. By the time he placed the boots on he looked at Alphonse who started to cry.

He growled under his breath as he checked his pocket watch before he grabbed a rubber band from the top of the dresser. He managed to avoid a few toys from Alphonse as he tied his hair into a quick ponytail. Then he bent over and picked up Alphonse from the pile of blankets.

It seemed in the nights Al would end up wrapped with over three blankets making a sort of nest. Ed always wondered how it happened but ignored it. Al continued to cry and Ed rocked him gently as he picked up a bottle from the dresser.

He walked into the kitchen and poured water into the cup. He looked at Alphonse who started to cry harder as if it would make Edward go faster. After adding the powder he shook it then placed Alphonse on the counter. It wasn't the safest idea but Ed needed both hands in order to heat up the water.

He knew how cranky Al would get if his milk was cold (It wasn't made the same way as milk but he still called it milk). He looked at the counter and felt a smile cross his face. Alphonse sat giving a glower to Edward and his honey gold eyes sparkled with unshed tears.

His checks were tinted with a bright pink and his hair was slightly shifted from sleep. It was one of the rare moments where Alphonse looked absolutely adorable when he was trying to look menacing.

"You wouldn't hurt a fly Alphonse; I doubt you'd be able to bring yourself to hurt me." Ed teased as he picked up the dark haired boy and place the bottle to his lips. Once Alphonse started to suck Ed made his way to the main bedroom and pick up the bag. He refused to put any of Alphonse's stuff in something that resembled a diaper bag.

So instead of the diaper bag he picked up a black regular bag and then Alchemized it to hold what Alphonse would need. There was a Flamel printed in red on the back of the bag. He slung it over one shoulder and then left the house.

He made it to headquarters without much of an incident. He managed to carry Alphonse and not stain the outfit (he hated the thing but he couldn't help but feel wrong if he stained it). Once at headquarters he tried to ignore the looks of curiosity. He did admit it felt weird to wear the outfit but everyone else was wearing the same thing.

Arriving to Mustang's office he kicked the door open and prepared himself to glare at anyone that had enough courage to make fun of him. Of course everyone's mouth dropped open. Kain, who looked up from paperwork, blinked in complete surprise.

Havoc and Breda, who were trading what looked like a magazine of some sort, burst out laughing. Vato Falman hid behind his book snickering. Mustang let out a smooth laugh and continued to smirk at him.

Ed gave a huff and kicked the table sending the papers on the desk flying.

"Where the hell's Hawkeye?" He growled out as the men continued to look over Edward's new look.

"She stepped out earlier to run some documents for me. You will have to leave Alphonse to these 4." Mustang said as he stood up and stretched. Ed shot him a glare as He moved Alphonse around in his arms to help the boy sit up more.

"You told me Hawkeye was going to watch him. I don't trust these idiots with him." He grumbled.

Mustang sighed and shook his head. "I trust them, so you trust them."

Ed saw the men now staring at the child in his arms.

"But I don't trust you." Edward retorted. Roy gave him a look stating 'don't-start-now'.

"Who is that Edward?" Kain asked pointing at the child. Edward frowned and then placed Al in a position to view the other people in the room. Al's honey gold eyes looked around in a quick bob of his head before giggling.

"This is my little brother Alphonse Elric." Edward stated. Kain gave a quiet "oh" while Havoc cocked his head to the side and gazed at Ed's little brother a little closer. Breda raised an eyebrow while Vato managed to spare the blonde a second look.

"Little brother? I didn't know you had family living with you." Havoc commented as Ed gave a quick nod and took off his bag from his shoulders. He placed it on the floor as he sat Alphonse on the table. The room looked slightly disoriented because of Edward's kick. Papers were everywhere and Roy was making his way to the door of the room.

"Come on Fullmetal. We will be back in a few hours." Roy said as he opened the door. Ed cast another worried glance to the men then sighed then placed two hands on Alphonse's tiny shoulders.

"I'm leaving him in your care. All the stuff that he needs is in the bag on the floor. But if anything happens to him," Ed now cast a dark look to everyone in the room. "I will make sure to trap you in the wall for 2 months. That or transmute you guys into diapers." He growled making sure everyone took his words seriously. They all nodded once before Ed gave a nod and ruffled Alphonse's hair and then pushed him towards the men then turned to Mustang as they took their leave.

Once the door closed Havoc's eyebrows bunched up in confusion. "Is it even possible to transmute someone into a diaper?" He questioned.

Breda scratched his head in confusion as well. "I'm pretty sure that has to be illegal."

Vato gave a snort and gave Breda and Havoc a pointed look. "It's Edward. He will find a way to transmute you into a diaper and I'm sure as hell he doesn't care about the law."

Kain gave a chuckle as he looked at Alphonse who started to play with the papers and drool on a few documents.

He looked harmless.


"Why do you want me coming to this meeting anyways?" Edward questioned as he and Roy made their way to the meeting room.

Ed pulled on his collar again and growled as one of his buttons snapped out of place. Mustang looked at the boy smirking softly as he walked down another corridor.

"I want you there to make sure no one tries to slit my throat. Hawkeye usually comes with me but I thought it would be good to let you have some experience." Roy said as Edward looked at him in disbelief. He tripped over his feet slightly but regained his balance as he ran to catch up to Roy.

"Hold it Colonel! I'm not going to become your body guard in the near distant future! Don't dare think about training me!" He spat out training in a way that made Roy roll his eyes.

"I don't think you can be trained in anything Fullmetal. I want you to get a taste of politics. Until you fulfill your debt to me I think it would be good to teach you a few things." Roy remarked dryly.

Ed frowned before nodding his head. "But you haven't been able to fulfill my needs either you bastard. You haven't given me any more missions and that old man is still out there." Ed retorted. Roy gave him a pointed look as they neared two big oak doors.

"And I have a lead but for now listen to what I'm about to say." He turned serious which told Ed he had no choice but to take this seriously. For now he would have to ignore the itchy feeling he had from the collar of his uniform.

"Keep your head up. Don't look intimidated. Keep your temper under control and don't answer any questions that might involve with you under my command." Roy opened the door without hesitation and Ed peeked from behind the man to see several other older men.

It was obvious most of the men had power. Most of the old men in the room had rough looking skin and beady slit eyes. All their uniforms either shower them to be General's, Major General's, colonels, and Brigadier-general's. Ed felt a slight bit, well, out ranked. He was only a major after all.

"Colonel Roy Mustang. You made it." One of the men said. Roy saluted while Ed had no choice but to do the same. Ed couldn't help but feel pissed at the fact he had to do such an act.

"Yes Sir. I hope we didn't miss anything?" Roy asked in an over polite voice.

Well fuck, Ed thought, the guy did know how to kiss ass.

"Of course you didn't. Roy take a seat next to Grumman. Fuhrer King Bradley hasn't arrived yet." Then all eyes fell to Edward who had shuffled his feet still in a saluting position.

"At ease major, colonel." Grumman said. He was an old looking man and was gesturing to the free seats beside him. Most of the other men looked at Edward uneasily. Ed relaxed as Roy jabbed him slightly with his elbow before he made Ed take a spot beside him.

"Why is the major here?" Grumman asked once Roy sat beside him. Ed took the seat beside Roy as he cast another glance around the room. It was a large table and at the end was a large throne looking seat where he assumed the Fuhrer sat.

"I decided to let him tag along to get more experience in the military." Roy said quietly as other men talked amongst them.

"Major Elric." A man said gruffly as Ed looked up and focused on the man who was ranked as a Major General.

"How old are you?" He asked as a Colonel on his side gazed at him curiously as well.

"12 years old, Sir." Ed repeated dryly. It earned him another jab to his side. He just kicked Roy's chair.

"Your work in Liore was quite impressive." Ed looked to the far side of the table to where a man with glasses sat. He gave Ed a kind smile as Ed blinked and gave a nod while he lowered his head.

"What was it that they started to call this boy?" Grumman asked as Roy looked at the older man a smirk on his face.

"The hero of the people?" Roy supplied as Grumman snapped his fingers.

"Yes! Exactly! The Fullmetal Alchemist is the hero of the people!" He chanted loudly. Ed flushed in embarrassment as he groaned softly. Roy snickered softly looking at the blonde beside him.

"Fullmetal Alchemist? Why is it Fullmetal Alchemist?" A colonel asked slightly as Roy shot them a look. It was a stare which dared the other colonel to try and question his subordinate. Ed unconsciously rubbed at a piece of his right forearm.

"They say his arm is made out of pure steel."

"Lost it in an accident according to him…"

Whisper's spiraled around the table as Ed grit his teeth wanting to scream and yell at them. He was right there; if they had anything to say they should just say it to his face. But then the doors opened revealing the man they were all waiting for. Fuhrer king Bradley came in with a smile as he took his seat in the special chair. Ed swallowed as his eye landed on Edward in startled surprise. This was going to be a long day…


Havoc looked up from the magazine when he heard crying from beside him. Havoc had laid the kid named Alphonse on the couch while he read a magazine Hawkeye tried to ban from the office (she found it and started to decorate it with nice bullet holes). Alphonse sobbed as Havoc gave a sigh.

"Fuery! The kids crying!" Havoc called out as Breda and Vato looked at him. None of the men in the room had the slightest idea as to how to take care of a child. Kain was probably the only one since he grew up with older sisters who had children. Fuery, however, was currently not in the room. Havoc frowned as he put the magazine down and patted Alphonse on the back.

"How we do we get kids to shut up again?" He questioned as Vato raised an eyebrow.

"You rock them till they shut up." Breda supplied as Vato shook his head at their stupidity.

"I have to hold him?" Havoc said in disbelief. The other men made no move to show they would help so Havoc sighed and stared at the brown haired baby who was now sobbing loudly. Havoc awkwardly picked him up as he made an attempt to hold him like a mother holding her newborn. Al's cries were stifled but the baby's wide eyes stared at Havoc in confusion.

Al turned his head to sniff into Havoc's jacket. The baby pulled back and cried out again while wiggling in his arms. Havoc smelled nothing like his older brother. Ed smelled like machine oil with a hint of his shampoo kind of scent. Havoc smelled like smoke and nothing more.

Alphonse didn't like it.

"Breda you take him!" Havoc exclaimed as he walked over and dumped the baby into the surprised over weight man. Breda steadied himself as havoc placed a hand on his hip.

"He doesn't like me. I'm going to go find Fuery." He grumbled as he made his way out of the office. Vato looked at Breda who rocked the crying baby awkwardly.

"Shh! Shh! Dang it! I don't know how to take care of a kid! Here Falman!" He called as he stood up and started to walk to Vato. Vato stood up and walked to the bag Ed brought. He moved the table back and then dumped the objects on the floor.

"Let him play on the floor." Vato grumbled as he placed the diapers and bottles back in the bag. The rest was a few clothes and toys. Breda complied and watched as Alphonse stared at the objects before becoming absorbed with them. Breda chuckled as he sat back down and cast Vato a glance.

"Kids are such idiots. I swear…"

With the room going quiet and the others starting on their work (except for Breda who was busy shuffling a deck of cards) Alphonse looked under the table to the door that had been left wide open by Havoc. After gurgling happily he began to crawl towards the door.

Then right under the noses of the adults he left the room crawling down the hallway.


Ed couldn't stress how exhausting the whole meeting was. Roy kept jabbing him in the side he was pretty sure he had a bruise forming. He was also pretty sure the chair Roy had been sitting on wasn't in such good condition. After taking a beating by the auto mail leg Roy had stood up to leave.

But before Ed could leave another man slid into the colonel's place and started to talk to Ed. Of course before anyone could utter a word the chair gave out and the man fell to the floor in an embarrassed heap. Bradley even gave a chuckle as he patted Ed's head and left the room.

Roy continued to chuckle as they neared the office.

"Please tell me that was the last meeting I have to go to." Ed said as he rubbed his temples. All they talked about was, well, politics.

And Ed kept getting fidgety. Many talked about Bradley's old age along with a few spurs of fighting from North Briggs and then from the east. Of course Bradley gave a talk about how fight could be avoided and Ed saw the small scowl Roy tried to hide.

After the main politics Edward came up again. And the blonde just decided he was going to make Mustang pay. Oh god the man was going to pay.

"I don't think you need to go to anymore while you're still young. I'll take you in a few years again." Roy commented as Ed blinked and took a peek around.

"How long are you planning to take to become Fuhrer?" He whispered as Roy stared at him and shrugged.

"I can't just do it now. Everyone is in favor with Bradley. But we can't have this conversation now Fullmetal. If you wish to learn about how long it will take Hawkeye will fill you in." He stated as they neared his office. Ed could agree with Roy in trying to be discreet.

The walls had ears and talking about being Fuhrer was considered treason. Getting close to the door they heard shouting.

"What do you mean he's gone?" Roy's eyebrows raised in confusion at the high panic in Breda's voice.

"Gone? He's gone!" Vato had the same panic.

"Dear god! You lost the baby!" This time it was Fuery. Roy couldn't grab onto Edward who was now jogging to the door.

"Ed is going to kill us!" Havoc exclaimed as Ed raised his leg to kick in the door.

"I don't want to be a diaper!" Breda managed to cry out before the door burst open and a pissed off Edward stood at the entrance.

His golden eyes looked wild as he looked around the room. The table was not angled right and objects cluttered the floor. The 4 men stared at Edward horrified as Roy appeared behind him.

"Where the fuck is he?" He growled. The men all stuttered around for excuses as Roy choked over his words. His men lost a baby? How the fuck did that even happen? It was a baby!

"He was playing on the floor! And then the next moment he-he's gone!" Breda exclaimed as Edward's mouth opened in disbelief.

"You lost my baby brother?" Ed questioned his tone small. At first Roy thought the boy was worried. But instead Ed walked to the wall and clapped his hands. He made a sizable hole and it looked to be about the size of a broom closet.

Then, to Roy's complete astonishment, he stuffed the 4 men into the hole.

Before any could fight back Ed clapped his hands and closed the hole. There was banging as Edward glared and clapped his hands to make his auto mail into a sword.

"I warned you guys to watch him! Now you don't get to come out until 2 months!" He yelled before he stabbed a hole at the side of the wall.

"There now they can breathe and you!" Ed shouted his golden eyes piercing into Roy's skull. The man straightened up as Ed walked over and raised the blade to his throat threatening.

"You are going to look for him with me. This is your fault after all!" Ed growled as he lowered the blade and clapped his hands together. Roy wanted to mention it would be easier if they had more men to help look but when Ed started to walk ahead he was met with a blazing look. Ed glared at him and looked slightly savaged.

"Do I need to repeat myself? Get your ass moving you useless piece of crap!" He snarled as Roy gave a quick nod and started to run down the corridor. Once out of sight he banged his head on a wall.

Since when did he take orders from a blonde runt?


Alphonse had crawled down a few corridors before he ended up on stairs. The boy's wide amber gold eyes stared at the steps as he stared to make an awkward climb upwards. He had never actually seen much since arriving to this new place. He remembered the lady with the dark hair taking him to a place with a lot of green (grass).

But this was a whole new place. He wondered what was behind all the doors. Arriving to the top of his climb he was swept into another corridor just as a few doors banged open. He hid behind a wall as he peaked at the new people coming. They were all dressed in the same blue outfits his older brother was wearing.

That's when he saw his brother practically running down the corridor in the opposite direction. He frowned as he tried to scream and cry to get his brother's attention.

But a voice had him looking up in surprise.

"My, my, what on earth do we have here?" Alphonse turned and looked up to see a man wearing the blue uniform with black hair smiling down at him. One of his eyes was covered with an eye patch.

"Fuhrer?" Another man asked when the man bent down and picked up Alphonse who now had tears welling in his eyes.

"Well where did you come from?" He cooed at Alphonse who started to whimper. Bradley smiled as he rubbed Alphonse's check and started to walk down the corridor to his office.


Holy fuck he was going to go back to Mustang's office and transmute them into diapers!

He didn't care if it was physically impossible; he was going to find a way to do it. He was a prodigy, he was sure he would figure out a way to do it.

He made a sharp turn his eyes flashing over every single object. Alphonse was small and a very smart baby. Sure he couldn't figure out how to get out of the pin Ed had made him, but Alphonse still knew how to work under Ed's skin and knew how to make sure Ed trips on something or runs into a wall. (Which has been happening more often, He rubbed a hand over his forehead where he had hit the bathroom door knob when he tripped over a bottle Alphonse had rolled as payback for stranding him in the pin.)

He cursed as he turned and was about to run down the corridor when he ran into something rather hard.

"Watch it, Fullmetal!" Roy cried as Ed stumbled back and rubbed his forehead and glared up at Roy.

"Did you find him?" He asked as Roy sighed and pointed to the open door of the steps.

"The elevator has been out of commission so the door to the stairs has been left open, my guess it your brother traveled upwards." He said as Ed nodded and started to run to the open door. He managed to evade a rather nice looking secretary and start to climb the steps. He halted half way up when he realized it was a pretty secretary. He looked down and saw Mustang conversing with the young lady.

He face palmed and then took a deep breath,

"Mustang! Get your ass over here! Or I'm telling Hawkeye that you burned the paperwork she told you to finish yesterday!" He exclaimed as Roy shot him a dark glare. The lady looked flustered before she ran off and the man growled and followed him up the stairs.

Ed paused for a quick breath as he ran down the corridor. The hall was empty and he realized that it was the floor he had been for the meeting.

Did one of the generals see his brother?

Oh shit, holy shit.

He tried to stop himself from panicking but he was extremely worried. He leaned on the wall and tried to calm his breathing.

"Mustang we have to find him." He whispered as he heard the heavy steps of his Commanding officer coming closer to him.

"And we will fullmetal. He's a child, he can't be that hard to find." Roy said calmly as Ed jumped off the wall and was about to run down the hall way when he heard a high pitched squeal. He spun on his foot and almost rammed into Mustang again. But to his luck the man turned to where the squeal was heard.

"It's coming from down the hall." He said calmly as Ed took off running. He failed to notice that the doors he was about to open were quite large and slightly more fancy looking. He crashed the door open and nearly fell to the floor at the scene in front of him.

Fuhrer king Bradley had the baby seated on his lap while Al reached for the keys he was using to play with him.

Bradley looked up in surprise as he smiled.

"Ah, Fullmetal! What do I owe for this visit?" He asked cheerfully as Ed stuttered for words. He pointed to Alphonse who looked up and met his brother's eyes. Alphonse giggled and raised his hands to Edward in a cute manner.

"I take you know this child?" Bradley asked as he walked over.

"Actually Fuhrer, That is Edward's little brother. We've been looking for him." Roy said calmly as he bowed and sharply smacked Ed snapping him out of his trance state.

"Oh! So this is the young Elric? What on earth is he doing in Central headquarters?" Bradley asked concerned as Ed rubbed his head shooting a glare to Mustang.

"My Uncle took a leave down to the train station to go help in the…" He blinked thinking of a quick lie that sounded believable.

"Construction of my new auto mail!" He exclaimed in complete relief.

"New auto mail? What is wrong with the one you have?" Bradley asked while looking Ed up and down.

"Um… It got jammed a few days ago and has been reacting sluggishly, so my uncle went to rush valley to help contact a mechanic to help get a new one attached." He said smoothly as Alphonse was handed over to him.

Bradley nodded.

"Of course, it would be hectic if it failed you in the middle of a mission." Bradley said smiling. "However, I have to tell you that babies are not allowed on the premise of the Central headquarters. What if we were attacked and your brother was caught in crossfire?"

Ed ducked his head feeling like the Fuhrer was lecturing him. In fact the Fuhrer was lecturing him.

"Well then." He patted Ed's head and led them to the door. "I believe you should take your brother home Fullmetal. As for you Colonel, I need the documents from North Briggs Mountain to be signed."

With that they were both lead to the door and out of the room.


"I blame this all on Havoc!"

"What? Why me?"

"You left the door open!"

"Well Kain is the one who left us with the baby?"

"Don't shift the blame on me! I saw you flirting with the secretary you liar!"

"Flirting? Of all the fucking things you could have been doing you were flirting!"

"Hey, it was your idea to put him on the floor Vato!"

"Well I wasn't going to rock him!"

"Stop kicking me Breda!"

"It's not me!"

"Then who the hell is it?"

"Holy shit what the hell is touching me!"

"I don't remember any of us having fur!"

"A dog? A dog!"

Riza sighed in disbelief when she stood in the middle of the chaotic room. She could hear the screaming of her colleges from the wall where a decent sized hole was.

She also knew for a fact that for some reason that they all deserved it. She looked at the sign on the wall and couldn't help a small smirk fall on her face as she bent down and picked up some paper work:

"Do not help them out of the room no matter how loud they scream,

Signed, the Fullmetal Alchemist.

If anyone is seen helping these idiots out of the room the Fullmetal Alchemist will beat you with a tree."
