Once word got out that Roy Mustang had betrayed the military, they sent troops out to bring him into custody. Mustang scattered throughout the city strategically taking out the military's troops. There are times where Mustang will go out of his way in order to make a point about how corrupt the military really is. Now he's desperate and requested the assistance of a former military officer and also former state alchemist, Elizabeth Gran.
Mustang made his way to East City to talk to her, which he hasn't done since she lost her state certification and resigned from the military over 2 years ago. The car pulled up to a house that was just 4 miles away from the Eastern Command Center where he was first stationed. Riza stayed in the car watching Mustang approach the house. He firmly knocked on the door about three times before someone answered. A girl with short orange hair and light blue eyes stood in front of him.
"Oh geez what are you doing here Mustang?" She asked annoyed with his presence.
"It's nice to see you too Elizabeth" Roy replied sarcastically expecting that kind of response from her. Elizabeth sighed and stepped aside gesturing to Mustang to come inside.
"Come in, if the military spots you out here you're screwed" Elizabeth said in a serious tone knowing for a fact that he is a traitor to the state and the military claimed. Roy nodded as he entered her house. Elizabeth noticed Riza sitting in the driver side of the car.
'why am I not surprised she's here. She never leaves his side' Elizabeth thought to herself.
"Hey Hawkeye, I suggest you come inside too. If they see you out here they'll suspect Mustang is near by!" Elizabeth shouted to Hawkeye. Agreeing with her statement Riza exited the vehicle and proceeded inside of Elizabeth's house.
"So I'm gonna ask this question again, what are you doing here?" Elizabeth asked again as she sat down on a chair in the living room while Mustang and Hawkeye sat on the couch on the opposite side of the room. " I know you defiantly didn't come here personally just to say hello" Continued.
"You're right I didn't, I came to ask you for a favor" Roy stated.
"Mustang, unlike you I don't have a death wish" Elizabeth replied leaning back into her chair.
"But then again, I let you into my house, so I guess that makes me an accomplice now doesn't it" Elizabeth sighed she had no choice but to agree to his terms.
Roy smirked knowing he had Elizabeth on his side. Elizabeth was a very skilled alchemist who earned her title of the illusion alchemist due to the fact that she can perform illusions using her alchemy. When she was in the military she held the rank of second lieutenant under the command of the man sitting in front of her, Roy Mustang. This was back while Roy was still stationed at the Eastern Command Center here in East City. However, Elizabeth's use of non-permitted research materials in her personal investigation caused her to lose her state certification. Not interested in continuing as a regular military state officer she resigned from the military.
"So what do you need me to do?" Elizabeth questioned curious to know what Mustang needed her for so badly.
"How good are you at creating a diversion?" Mustang asked smirking at the fact that he already knew the answer to his question and curious on how she would reply.
"Please, who do you think you're talking to?" Elizabeth sarcastically asked. She leaned forward into her chair and linked her hands together resting her head on them with her elbows on her thighs.
"Just say the word and I will have the Military at your mercy" Elizabeth finished smirking at the fact that her former commanding officer came all the way to East City just to seek her help with such a simple task.
