As Ed was running hundreds of questions kept popping into his head. Who was she? How did she know about Al? How did she know he was the Fullmetal Alchemist? What did she know about the philosophers stone? And how the heck did she manage to take down Slicer like that?

He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Al just up ahead of him with the Fuhrer, Hughes and two other people he didn't know. "Al are you all right?"

"I'm fine brother," the suit armor said, "maybe a few dents, but I'm fine."

"Here let me fix them," Al held out his arm as Ed clapped his hands together and fixed the dents.

"Ed what would you do without us to come save your butt every few days?" asked Hughes.

"Sorry."

"Come, it's getting late you should return to your room," Ed looked up at the Fuhrer, "we will meet tomorrow morning. I have a few things that need to be discussed." With that he turned around and left his two guards tagging along behind him.

"Is that a bad thing?" Asked Ed once they got outside.

"Not necessarily, but if it makes you feel any better Mustang will be there." Hughes looked down on him with a smirk on his face.

"Mustang! That's supposed to make me feel better! That I have to deal with him!"

"Calm down brother, Mr. Mustang's not that bad."

Ed grunted and mumbled something about idiot colonels.

Back at his room Ed noticed that his 'posse ' was back guarding his door. Two new guys who looked very experienced. Luckily they didn't say anything and just watched as he and Al went in his room and closed the door.

"Goodnight Ed,"

"Goodnight Al."

Knock, Knock, "Sir the Fuhrer is expecting you soon, sir?" "Damn it he went through the window again."

Ed had to laugh as he approached the headquarters. They never learned. "I'll be out as soon as I can Al, okay?"

"Okay brother."

Ed stepped into the building and was immediately greeted by a blond haired woman. "The Fuhrer is expecting you sir, right this way." She led him down a few halls before she stopped in front of a door. She knocked on it and then opened it for him. "Here you go sir."

"Thanks." Ed looked inside the room and saw the Fuhrer sitting at a round table with Mustang. Two other empty seats sat around it as well.

"Have a seat Fullmetal," Mustang motioned towards the empty chair on the Fuhrer's right side. Ed sat down and waited for them to start.

"It has come to our attention that you are the first person on Scar's hit list Fullmetal," the Fuhrer announced, "With that in mind and the recent Scar sightings in Central we have come to a decision that it is no longer safe for you to stay here."

"But.."

"No buts Fullmetal, you and two other of our top Alchemist will be leaving by train first thing tomorrow morning."

"Two other of our top Alchemist?" Roy's eyebrow shot up.

"Yes you and another alchemist will be going with him."

"WHAT!"

"Yes, now about your brother Fullmetal."

"What about him," Ed practically growled.

"We have come to the conclusion that it is not safe for him to go with you."

"WHAT! I am not leaving him behind here!"

"The Fuhrer's right Fullmetal, Scar only targets State Alchemists. You'd only be putting him in danger if he came with us."

"Hughes has offered for Al to stay with him while you are gone." the Fuhrer announced.

"How long will we be gone?" Ed asked softly.

"Until Scar has been taken care of one way or another." Ed nodded his head. "Now you will be headed off to Resembool. I heard you have friends there that you could stay with and I hope that they won't mind if you arrive on such short notice with a few friends."

Well at least he wasn't going to a complete stranger's house. "No they won't mind."

"Sir, who is the other Alchemist that will be going with us?" asked Roy. Just then there was a knock on the door.

"Ah that should be her now, come in Angel." The door opened and in came the same girl that Ed had seen last night. "Fullmetal, Flame, this is Amie Sharo also know as the Angel Alchemist. She will be joining you and I expect you both to listen to her, as she will be in charge."

"B-but sir I."

"She will be in charge Flame regardless of rank and I expect you both to obey her."

"Yes sir."

"Good. I will leave you three to get to know eachother. Angel do be careful." With that he closed the door and left.

"Thanks again for saving me last night, I owe you." Ed said while he and Roy walked over to her.

"You owe me nothing Ed."

"Yes I do, equivalent exchange."

"Does not apply to everything in life. If it did then whenever something bad happened in life something good would happen and that is not how it goes."

Ed stood there. He never thought about it like that, but she was right.

"Well it would seem that you two have already meet. I'm Roy Mustang also known as the,"

"Flame Alchemist," Amie finished, "The Fuhrer briefed me earlier this morning. I have a few things I need to do before we head out tomorrow morning, so I will see tomorrow at 7:00 a.m sharp. We can get to know eachother better on the train." With that she turned around and walked out the door.

"This is going to be a fun trip." Ed stated. Sarcasm dripping from his voice. As he headed down the hall towards the exit.

That's it for now. Please R&R
