Roy hung up the phone and put his hands in his pocket. He asked the front desk for Ed's room. Apparently they had to move him because a wall in his previous room collapsed? Great…Paper work galore.

He walked up the stairs to floor three, room 201. He opened the door to sight he was not expecting.

The first thing he noticed was Hawkeye sitting on the bed mumbling something while shaking her head as she stroked a white kitten. Then, he noticed Edward flailing his Arms freaking out about something, and Al was sitting huddled in the middle of the floor swishing his tail furiously…Wait rewind. Tail?

The giant suite of armor known as Alphonse, had two large Metal cat ears sticking from his head, three engraved whisker marks on each side of his face, and a flexible metallic tail.

"ACK! I'M SORRY AL!" Edward cried with two wide streams of tears coming from his eyes.

"Fullmetal, what did you do to your brother?" Roy asked monotonously.

"I TOUCHED HIM! I GRABBED HIS ARM AND HE GREW EARS! I TRIED FIXING HIM AND HE GREW A TAIL!" Edward wailed. He went back to thrashing his arms yelling about turning his brother into a cat. This surprised Roy. Maybe that blow to the head was making Edward lose focus with his alchemy. He looked at Al who had a blue shroud of misery hovering around him. He swiped his hand through his hair and sighed. Of coarse he'd have to fix this the old fashioned way.

"Wait a minute…Fullmetal I can't fix him. I don't know how his blood seal is wired with the armor. It'd be too risky for me to do anything."

Edward stopped yelling. Dewdrop sized tears were still in the corners of his eyes, "Fine then. I'll try one more time!" He clapped his hands together and placed them on Al. There was a flash of pure dark blue light and smoke arose. They looked in anticipation to learn, Al grew claws.

"UUWAAAAAAAAAA!" The Elric brothers screamed together.

Al grabbed the kitten by Hawkeye and hugged it. The kitten was mostly white besides a small half gray half brown dot on its forehead. Also it had one green eye and one blue that looked up to a sad Al.

"Brother I don't want to be a cat!"

"Don't worry I'll fix this!"

"No! What if I grow fur?"

"Your metal you dimwit! Equivalent exchange wouldn't allow it!"

"Ed. Until we find out what is wrong with your alchemy I wouldn't try fixing Al." Hawkeye said standing up from the bed.

"I don't want to be a cat!"

"Well you seem better Fullmetal. Since there's some business we have to take care in Ayer we rented a town house for a temporary headquarters. Havoc, Fuery, Breda and Armstrong are already there. Falman couldn't make it because he currently has spome business to attend to. Hughes should be there sometimes tomorrow." Roy scratched his chin and continued, "How about we get out of here."

After checking Edward out of the hospital they left in the military vehicle. "So what's this business you need to take care of?" Ed asked.

A serial Killer has been going around and there's a possibility that he's in Ayer. That girl you found may have been a victim." Roy regretted saying that as Edward went silent. Suddenly Edward looked up smiling.

"Thanks for the info. This could be fun." Roy really regretted what he said. Hawkeye grabbed Ed by his braid and yanked his head earning a yelp from Ed.

"You will not do anything stupid or reckless." She said as more of a command.

"Yes mam!" Roy shook his head. He looked at Al who was still sulking. The kitten was sleeping contently on his lap huddled in Al's apron like cloth.

"That reminds me, I still need your evaluation." Roy said contently.

"Bastard."

The military vehicle pulled up in front of a two story tall town house, which would be housing the military officials. They stepped inside to find Havoc to greet them.

"Hey how ya feeling shorty?"

CRACK!

Havoc fell as a crumpled twitching heap on the floor. Breda entered and shook his head.

"You know its suicide to mess with him," he said as they listened to Ed trudge up the stairs and slam a door, "Al…why do you have cat ears?" Al sat in a corner and started sulking.

"Long story," sighed Mustang.

The next morning Edward was lying on the top bunk of a vacant room he found. He pulled off his left glove to look at the gem embedded in his palm. It shown as brilliantly as the deepest ocean blue sapphire and as clouded as a stormy sea at the same time. What was it? Was this the thing messing with his alchemy?

He thought back. He had to have read something about this kind of thing. The only alchemic enhancing stones he could think of were the red water stones and the philosopher's stone. But those were both red. Not to mention, if this thing was what was tampering with his alchemy, it was screwing up his alchemy rather then helping it! He got knocked unconscious, destroyed part of the hospital and turned his brother into a feline…sort of.

Then he thought…which he seamed to be doing a lot of. That girl in the Alley. When she grabbed his hand, then the hole in her palm. Did she do this to him? Something then clicked. Nonetheless, his train of thought was violently derailed as Armstrong opened (well, pushed down) his door.

Armstrong blinked at the broken door then ran off by Edward's bed, striking a pose. Ed stared dumbly at the pink sparkles that began to float around the room.

"Young Elric! I heard you were hospitalized from a blow to the head. Do not fear! Ancient healing herbal remedies have been passed down in the Armstrong family for generations! This drink will wash away all fatigue and discomfort that may be located in your cranium!" He said Assured as more sparkles appeared. He held up a pot like cup filled with some fowl smelling, thick, yellowy green liquid. By the looks of it's viscosity, Ed couldn't even tell if it was liquid.

"Errrr…Thanks but I'll pass, "Ed said as he slid down his bed side while picking pink sparkles that got tangled in his braid out of his hair, and flicking them off his clothing.

"I guarantee you will feel a thousand times better then you have ever felt just from one gulp! This Armstrong recipe has been perfected to work most efficiently!" he said shoving the acrid drink in Edward's hands. Edward got a strong whiff of rotting Chlorophyll smell.

"You know what. I got to go to the library with Al," He said sliding against the wall to the door, "Eheheh. Just a smell of that and I'm energized! THANKS!" Ed darted out of the door. He was energized enough to escape Armstrong and his sparkles.

Armstrong shrugged, and then gulped the whole drink in one swig.

"Al! We're going to the library!" He said grabbing the kitten out of Al's hands and putting it in Havoc's hands. After grabbing and apple, he grabbed al's arm with his automail arm and dragged him out the door slamming it being him. The room was silent. Havoc looked curiously at the cat.

"THAT CAT BETTER BE ALIVE WHEN I COME BACK!" Ed yelled from the distance.
