State Alchemist Mustang
Chapter Seven - Over
Riza was sound asleep with her head resting on Roy's lap. Edward and Rebecca sitting across the lobby reading a magazine. Roy had gone home and picked up Black Hayate so Riza would feel somewhat better. Black Hayate was currently sleeping on the chair next to Riza's. Winry returned after about three hours and stood in the doorway smiling. She clapped her hands together which caused everyone, even Black Hayate, to jump.
"Good morning everyone. Hope you are all enjoying your hospital stay." Winry smiled, imitating a flight attendant using her wrench as a microphone. Everyone just stared at her. Some random people who were their for other reasons looked at Winry like she had seven heads. It was only 0900 and everyone was tired, everyone except Winry. She reached up behind her head and pulled down her hair and wrapped the elastic around her wrist.
"The parent in room F-08 is ready to see you know." She smiled again, this time imitating a nurse. Again everyone stared at her. Winry sweat dropped and sighed looking down.
"Raven is all done. You may all go see her now. She's on the sixth floor in room 08." Winry stood up straight and led the sleepy group of people, and Black Hayate, up stairs to Raven's room. In the room was Raven sound asleep and completely covered from her waist down. Winry began to pack her things up as Riza and Roy found themselves seats around the bed.
"She was quite brave. Reminded me of Ed here, didn't scream or yell. Just gritted her teeth." Winry aid as she closed her bag. Edward glared at her and Rebecca just blinked.
"Okay, well lets leave them to their family things and we need to get you home Rebecca, school. It's your last day so you don't want to be late." Winry left, followed by her family. Just after the Elrics left, Raven woke up. She looked around the room and attempted to move her leg and did so successfully. She smiled. It wasn't the same as her real leg, but it will do. She turned back to her parents who were next to her. Her father was holding alchemy watch and her handed it to Raven. She took it and looked at it.
"Try again what you showed your mom. Only this time, place the watch in the center of the circle." Roy said as he crossed his legs and leaned back.
"Roy is that safe, here in the room?" Riza asked.
"Sure, it's an empty floor nothing cam go wrong." Roy smiled. Raven crawled from the bed and sat down on the floor. Her mother handed her a pen and a piece of paper and she began to draw. When she finished drawing, she placed the watch in the center and placed her hands down on the paper. An ice-cream cone appeared out of no where and hovered above the paper. Raven took it and smiled. Riza and Roy looked at it dumbfoundly.
"Craving something?" Riza asked with a smile.
"Ice cream?" Raven shrugged and smiled.
"Try thinking of something else, like a dagger." Roy said taking the ice-cream cone and Raven closed her eyes. She pictured a dagger in her mind placed her hands down on the paper again. This time, a simple dagger appeared from no where and hovered in mid air.
"Cool." She said calmly with a smile.
"Interesting." Riza said.
"Thats unique." Roy smiled.
"Okay, watch." Riza stretched out her hand and Raven handed her the watch and Riza gave it back to Roy.
"I'm going to have to look into the exam for her when we go back to work on Monday." Roy said as he put the watch back into his pocket.
"Just one question." Raven asked. "When can I go home?"
"I'll ask the doctor." Riza said and got up to leave.
"Can you walk?" Roy asked as Raven began to crawl out of bed.
"Should be able to." She replied. She stood up, looking down at her new metal leg. She smiled and took a step forward with it. Then another step, then another, then another. She turned around and faced her father who smiled with approval.
"Cool." She said. Riza returned with the doctor and the doctor smiled as Raven was jumping around the room having fun.
"A new lease on life little miss." The doctor smiled and Raven stopped jumping.
"I'll have a nurse come take her vitals. If everything is good, she can go home tonight." The doctor smiled and went to go find a nurse.
Later that night, Raven was skipping down the hall heading towards her parent's car outside.
"Raven, when we get home I want you to rest understood?" Riza said as they approached the car.
"Okay." She said as she got in the car. Roy started to drive away after everyone was in.
"And no more alchemy in the house or anywhere near the house." Riza said looking at Roy who gulped.
"Okay." Roy and Raven said.
