Wrath made to go back to what he had been doing, when he was interrupted by more knocking. The young Homunculus growled and sung the door open in anger. On the other side of the door a livid Envy still stood there.
"Listen here you little brat, when I get my hands on you…" the shape-shifter started to say, but was cut off by Wrath.
"What the hell do you want Envy?" the younger Homunculus asked lowly.
"What do you mean what do I want?" the shape-shifter asked, clearly confused.
"It's your fault that she got hurt, where were you when she needed you, why weren't you here?" Wrath began to rant angrily, pointing an accusing finger at Envy.
The green haired Homunculus frowned deeply at the other's words. Literally pushing Wrath aside he went over to where Serena lay curled up on the bed. The silverette was dozing peacefully, but the pads of gauze adorning her face made the shape-shifter inwardly cringe. The younger Homunculus tried to stop Envy from getting closer to the human, but it was all to no avail.
The elder Homunculus sat down on the edge of the bed, and gently brushed a silver strand from her face. Serena's face scrunched up slightly.
"Nngh, Wrath stop pestering me, I'm not getting up," the silverette groaned, slapping the hand of who she thought was Wrath away.
"Is that any way to treat someone who can kill you in a second?" Envy whispered into the girl's ear.
Serena's eyes snapped open and she looked at the shape-shifter with wide eyes. Her gaze went to Wrath who was standing nearby, looking mildly pissed. The silverette's gaze traveled back to Envy, her eyes still wide as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her eyes filled with tears and she threw her arms around the Homunculus's neck, and sobbed uncontrollably into his chest.
The green haired Homunculus cringed visibly at her sudden outburst and awkwardly patted her back. Envy turned his head to look at Wrath with a questioning glance. The younger Homunculus ambled over to the shape-shifter who still gave him a questioning look. The violet eyed Homunculus simply gave the other a shrug, since he didn't really know much about what happened to her. Envy turned his head back to pay attention to Serena, who had stopped crying, and was wiping her tears on the blanket.
"What are you doing here Envy?" the silverette asked softly, lying back down on the bed.
"I said I would come back didn't I?" The confused Homunculus told her.
"You came back a tad too late Envy," Wrath was the one who spoke.
"Why do you keep saying that?" The shape-shifter growled.
"Because you did come back too late. Why don't you pester her about it, since she won't tell me anything," the violet eyed Homunculus huffed.
Envy grumbled some very colorful words under his breath and turned his attention back on Serena.
"Why don't you go and play Wrath, this is no kiddy business," the older Homunculus hissed.
"No way," the younger replied with a snap.
"Snotty little brat," the shape-shifter growled.
"Hey, leave Wrath alone. He's done nothing but care for me, unlike you," the silverette protested.
Envy frowned, but poked her shoulder until he'd caught her attention, not letting her look away.
"What happened to you Serena? And don't lie to me," the Homunculus asked softly, his eyes narrowing slightly in thought.
Serena whimpered lowly, trying to break her gaze from his, but she found that she couldn't.
I can't tell him, every time I think about that I feel so dirty.
If you love him, then you should tell him a voice in her head said.
I feel so dirty, he doesn't need to know, at least not yet she said to the voice.
He's not going to stop pestering you the voice retorted.
Serena pushed the voice into the back of her mind and gave a sigh.
"Give me a little time Envy, I'll tell you eventually," the emerald eyed teen told him.
The shape-shifter seemed dissatisfied by the answer, but decided not to pursue the matter for now. Envy shoved her aside so he could sit fully on the bed, and leaned back against the headboard. Wrath joined the two on Serena's other side and watched them carefully.
"Envy?" the silverette asked, almost afraid.
"Yes?" the Homunculus replied, raising an eyebrow at her demeanor.
"I'm glad you're back, but can you make your timing a little more impeccable. So that way I'd be safer in the future," the emerald eyed teen said.
"Are you pinning your misfortunes on me?" the shape-shifter asked, he didn't sound too happy.
"Yes and no. If you hadn't left then none of this would have happened." Serena said in a small voice.
"At least I came back, you ungrateful little human." Envy hissed sharply.
The silverette looked sadly at Envy; she didn't want to argue with him anymore. After all she'd just gotten him back, and didn't want to drive him away again. Instead of pursuing the argument, the girl shifted so that she was resting her cheek against the Homunculus's chest. Wrath kept watching the pair with mild interest in their interaction.
"So Envy," the emerald eyed teen began.
"So what?" he replied after having cooled down.
"Where does this leave us? Now that you've come back?" Serena asked, supporting herself up on her hands, so she was face to face with Envy.
The green haired Homunculus narrowed his eyes slightly in thought. He seemed as if he was trying to come up with something to say to her. The silverette hovered close to him, seeming to be pressuring him with her gaze.
"Envy and Serena sitting in a tree k-i-s-s—Ouch!" Wrath was cut off with a yelp, as he found himself sprawled on the floor.
"Stupid brat!" Envy hissed.
Serena glared at Envy and smacked his arm hard with a semi-menacing expression.
"Oh now it's on," the shape-shifter said rising on his knees, and making the girl back away.
The silverette gulped and started to further back away, but she wasn't fast enough. Envy caught her in a headlock before she could get too far, the girl squealed as she tried to get away from the Homunculus's vice-like grip.
The two were too distracted to notice the opening and closing of the door. However Wrath did notice and he stood up from where he had sat on the bed, and tensed up.
"Envy, stop it!" the silverette protested, squirming as she tried to get away from the shape-shifter.
The green haired Homunculus loosened his headlock, but instead of letting her go he grabbed her hips and pinned her down. Unknown to Envy was the fact that he'd hit a spot, the she now felt uncomfortable when touched there. Serena began to hyperventilate and squirm around madly, as she desperately tried to get away.
"Let go Envy! Let go, let go!" the silverette pleaded with a panicked voice.
The shape-shifter frowned deeply, but took his hands away from her hips.
"Sorry Envy it's just…" the emerald eyed teen said softly.
Someone in the room cleared their throat and made the pair tense up.
"I was wondering when you guys would notice, that we aren't alone." Wrath half said, half growled.
Envy and Serena suddenly sat up very straight and turned around to face the door. The shape-shifter's eyes narrowed and the silverette just looked surprised at who had showed up in their hotel room.
"Hohenheim? What are you doing here?" the emerald eyed teen asked carefully.
"I was actually following Envy. When I didn't see you with him after he showed up in Central. I became suspicious." Hohenheim explained.
"Don't you have someone else to bother Hohenheim?" Envy asked arrogantly.
"Envy, you've been with this human for far too long. It's time to let her go," The blond haired man said.
"And what if I don't want to go anywhere?" Serena asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Your mistrust of people is going way to far Serena. It's clouded your judgment," the golden eyed man said.
"I have great reasons why I shouldn't trust people. My judgment is fine, thank you very much," the silverette snapped.
Hohenheim walked towards the mismatched group and sat down on the chair across from the bed. The trio tensed up and Envy wordlessly placed himself in between Hohenheim and Serena.
"Get to the point Hohenheim. What are you after?" the green haired Homunculus snapped.
"I want to talk to Serena." Hohenheim said calmly.
"Like that's going to happen." Envy huffed.
"Settle down Envy," the golden eyed man told the Homunculus.
Serena was looking curiously at Hohenheim as she peered around Envy. Wrath was glaring at Hohenheim from the edge of the bed.
"Serena, do you know how Homunculi come to be?" the blond haired man asked.
The silverette thought for a moment before she shook her head slightly. She hadn't really come across that topic before.
"Would you like to know?" Hohenheim asked.
"Sure," the emerald eyed teen replied.
Envy suddenly realized exactly where this conversation was starting to head to.
"Drop it Hohenheim, she doesn't need to know," the shape-shifter said guardedly.
"Oh come on Envy, you haven't told me and I want to know," the girl protested.
Serena looked at Hohenheim expectantly, but remained safely close to Envy. The green haired Homunculus seemed very unhappy about the way this was going.
"Homunculi are born as a result of a failed human transmutation." Hohenheim put it simply for her.
"So, when an alchemist fails at a human transmutation a Homunculus is born?" the silverette questioned.
"That's right," the golden eyed man replied.
Serena was starting to become even more curious, as this conversation seemed to head towards the questions she'd had in mind, since she'd met Envy.
"Envy seems to hate you and your family. Does it have something to do with what are talking about?" the silverette asked.
Wrath seemed to have developed the same curiosity and interest in the topic as Serena.
"In fact it does, would you like to hear?" the blond haired man asked.
Envy suddenly covered the girl's ears and glared at Hohenheim with warning.
"You tell her and I'll kill you right here and now," the angered Homunculus said.
"Envy…" the emerald eyed teen protested, seeming unsatisfied with the sudden turn in events.
"I'll make you a deal Hohenheim. If you tell her how you ruined her life, then I'll tell her what she wants to know in your presence, then you're a dead man," the shape-shifter said to his sworn enemy.
Hohenheim at first did not say anything to acknowledge Envy's words, but then he gave a slight nod. Reluctantly the Homunculus took his hands away from her ears. Then he leaned tensely back against the headboard. Serena sat uncomfortable still on the bed scrutinizing Hohenheim. The sudden change of events had deviated her mind from the painful events that had recently occurred and made her focus on her curiosity, about what was going to be said.
"So is anyone going to talk?" the silverette asked.
"Oh, he'll tell you some very interesting things." Envy answered her question, with frightening calmness in his tone.
