It was a typical day in Mustangs office. Mustang reading the paper, Hawkeye reading over some documents, Havoc thinking about a girl, Breda eating a sandwich, Falman doing some work and Fury messing with the radio. Yep, just a typical day in Mustangs office but today was different. They were getting a new member today, Roy was skeptical of this but agreed non the less.
If there were getting a new member then he was gonna have to suffer through it. He checked his pocket watch and saw that it was 12:30 AM, their new member would get here at one. So they better get ready. Half an hour later a soldier came in and said. "Your new member has arrived Colonel Mustang." "Send them in." The soldier nodded and closed the door. The door opened to reveal a man with light black hair and blue eyes. He does a salute and say. "Private Link Monroe ready for duty sir!" "At ease Private. Let me introduce the team, first we have 1st Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye." Hawkeye gives a nod and says. "Nice to meet you." "Next we have second Lieutenant Jean Havoc." Havoc gives a smile and waves. "Nice to have someone new to talk to."
Roy rolls his eyes and continues. "This is second Lieutenant Heymans Breda." Breda gives a wave while eating a sandwich. "This is warrant officer Vato Falman." Falman gives a salute and says. "Pleased to meet you private Monroe." "And this is Master Sargent Kain Fury. We have another member but he's currently on a mission. He's major Edward Elric, he's the Fullmetal Alchemist." Monroe looked a little nervous and asks. "There's more then one alchemist here?" "Yeah but don't worry he's rarely here and when he is here he's a big pain in the butt." "What does that mean sir?" "Let's just say his temper matches his height, so don't say anything or you'll be in trouble like every else that does it." "Oh okay. Do you know when he'll be back?" "Hard to say with him. Weeks, months, years, he never stays in one place for long."
"Oh, okay." Hawkeye looks at Roy and says. "Maybe one of us should give private Monroe a tour of east command, let get used to this." "Good idea, Havoc go with Monroe and-." "If it's alright with you sir but can you give me the tour?" Roy gets surprised by this and looks at him. "Uh, sure. Hawkeye, hold down the fort until we get back." "Yes sir." "Good, okay let's go Monroe." He nods and they leave.
Roy thought it was weird that Monroe asked him to give him the tour instead of the others, normally when a new member is under a commanding officer that's a State Alchemist they get nervous and ask for someone on their team to give it. Roy shook that off and showed him the infirmary, which he asked be showed last. He opens the door and walks in, not noticing the darkened expression on Monroe. "Well that concludes our tour, hope you like it here kid." Roy smiles at him but Monroe doesn't smile back as he asks. "Did, you serve in the Ishvalan civil war?"
Roy loses his smile and says. "Yes, I did. Why?" Monroe doesn't answer when suddenly Roy is punched in the face and punched in the stomach. He groans in pain and falls to the ground holding his stomach when Monroe keeps kicking his stomach. "'Hope I like it here?' Yeah right. I'll never like it here in the military! Not especially with you state alchemist monsters running around. Especially you! Your the worse of them all!" Monroe stops kicking him as he glares at him, Roy gives out a cough and looks at him. "What are you talking about?" "Like you don't know, I won't tell you anything because I know what you've done. If you tell anyone any of this, I'll tell everyone of what you've done but right now I'm gonna take everything and everyone you hold dear against you. You better keep quiet about this or other wise, the pretty little Lieutenant you have in there? Well, she'll get a taste of a real man."
Roy glares at him as he hold his stomach, it was hurting him and he wanted nothing more but to get this brat court marshaled but couldn't because he had no evidence and he had to hand it to the kid. He's a good actor, he fooled everyone. Including Roy. Monroe left as Roy got up from the floor holding his stomach, the kid looked scrawny but he can sure kick. He makes it back to the office, still holding his stomach and saw everyone looking at him surprised. He noticed Monroe looking sad and knew that he said something that wasn't true, he took a deep breathe and walked to his office, ignoring the stares. Before he could open the door, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked to see Hawkeye looking at him disappointed, he takes a deep breath and asks. "What?" "Sir, why did you yell at Monroe? He's having a hard time as it is." "Oh yeah? And whats that?" "I think you know sir." "No, I really don't. So why don't you enlighten me Lieutenant." Hawkeye looks at him and says. "His mother just recently died and it's hard on him." Roy sighs and asks when it happened. "Two days ago sir." "Then he should have said something to the Führer that before he made the transfer if he was, having a hard time. You know how the führer cares about his soldier Lieutenant, he lets them grieve at home. Not at the work place, especially if their about to start working."
Monroe's eyes widened at this, realizing his mistake. Roy opens the door and walks in, he slams it shut and locks it. He didn't want to see he's team for they believed every word that little punk said about him. If he really did want to make his life miserable and the state alchemist, he was gonna have to be more convincing then that and he'd have to do his homework.
As Roy did his work he look up at the door and said to himself quietly. "Alright kid, if you want to take my job and ruin my life? By all means, let's dance."
