It was pitch black, and she couldn't even see the hand in front of her face as she wondered in the darkness. Her golden eyes looked back and forth as if she was searching for something... someone. She was lost within the dark plane of existence. She felt useless and tried of living. She wanted to curl up and die. She knew the person she was trying to save was safe. She knew they were safe. They had to be. They were to smart to be captured. They were her children after all. She sat down on the non-existent ground and sighed looking up into the darkness. She pulled her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around her slender legs. She was cold and getting colder as she waited in the darkness.

She started to feel dizzy and light headed. She hated feeling this weak. The feeling of death biting at her, she hated it. She wanted to be next to the one she loved, cuddling, watching her two teenaged children read side by side. She wanted to see her daughter give her a real bright smile and her son's forgiveness for not telling him everything. As much as she wanted, she couldn't have, and couldn't make herself have. She was to tired, to cold, and to useless.

USELESS

Kyo sighed as he watched his sister sleep on the uncomfortable hospital chair. He really should ask one of the nurses to set up a bed for her. He heard her whimpering, and mumbling in her sleep. He rested his head on the back of the hospital chair that he was sitting in. The annoying beeps of the life support kept him awake, along with the added worry of his injured father and missing mother. He looked towards his father and noticed his finger twitching. He stood up and walked over to the bed. "Dad?" He whispered as he watched as his father's coal colored eyes opened and looked at him. "K-Kyo?" He said hoarsely. Kyo smiled. "Yeah, Dad. You've missed a lot, you know." Kyo said sadly.

Roy looked towards his son and nodded slowly. "Help me sit up, Kyo-kun." Roy asked, as his voice slowly came back. Kyo nodded and pulled some of the pillows up and then pulled his father up to a sitting position. Roy winced and looked over to see Kyoko sleeping in the stiff hospital chair. "Where's your mother?" Roy asked looking at Kyo, only to have Kyo look away. "I think she's still in the lab. The one Kyoko-Chan escaped from. Mom helped her, but She didn't come out." Roy felt something in his chest drop straight into his stomach. "Where's Hawkeye and Havoc?" Roy was worried for Ed's safety, he wondered if she was hurt or worse, already dead.

Kyo blinked and sighed. "At Central Headquarters, making plans for a way to help or rescue mom, I guess they didn't think you'd wake so soon." Kyo frowned as his father who was already trying to get up. Kyo carefully made sure that he stayed in the bed. "Don't even think about it. There's nothing anyone can do right now, Dad. Even if you went to help mom now...it'd be useless, especially in the condition your in. Your wound just started to heal." Kyo was acting grown up, but it didn't mean that he was. He wanted to let his father out of the hospital, and go rescue his mother.

Roy was frustrated and angry. He wasn't angry with Kyo, but with his mother. She never lets me help her when it's important! Damn it! Roy growled as he leaned more into the pillows and closed his eyes. He was tired, worn, and felt old. A brunette haired nurse entered the room and smiled pleasantly. "It's nice to see you up Mr. Mustang. I was coming in to put your darling daughter in a private guest room." The nurse said cheerfully. Roy smiled and opened his eyes. "Please do. I love that she tried waiting for me to wake up for her, but she needs rest. Make sure that the staff checks on her constantly." Roy sighed and looked over to his dozing son. "You too, you should go to bed too." Kyo nodded and followed the nurse out of the room. Roy leaned his head against the wooden headboard. His head was too full of thoughts of Edward to even think of getting any real rest.

The life support beeped faintly in the glassed room. Outre looked at her patent with a sympathetic pity, with a cold smile on her face. She sighed as she rebandaged the blonde haired alchemist. "You do know she won't survive even if they come for her, by the looks of it I'll give her five days. Hell, Maybe less." She said to the dark haired man, Coste, who was standing near the counter handing her items to bandage the alchemist with. "I know, Envy went to hard on her. She's weak from not fighting for so long, gone soft." Coste said as he picked up a needle and inserted into the left arm of the alchemist, drawing some blood. He withdrew the needle and set the vile of blood into a little holder and then took another needle that was filled with some unknown drug and inserted into Edward.

"At least she won't go painfully, like Envy wants her too." Coste said smirking. "You're less heartless then you let on." Outre sarcastically stated as she switched the medical bags and turned to leave the depressing room. "Let's just hope they come for her, before she dies. That way, she won't die alone." Coste shrugged and followed the blonde haired women out of the room. "Doesn't matter to me, but I know we need to watch Amur-koi, he doesn't like who he's cloned after, ehhehehe, I think it's cause it turned into a she."

Outre smirked and felt like laughing. "True, he's always been touchy about that. Personally I just think he doesn't like girls." Coste smiled, "That's cause he fears that I would go after one of them!" Outre rolled her eyes and headed towards her room. "Whatever, your an idiot, just like that Furher." Coste's jaw dropped. "I am not!" He whined as he went to go look for Amur.

Envy smirked as he talked to Amur. Amur was someone he could talk to, when he wasn't near Coste. He even thought Amur was a good fuck from time to time. He was never really interested into that stuff much anyways. Amur was sitting on a crate with one leg folded over the other. Amur had a sarcastic and cocky smirk as he watched Envy pace. "You do know that the bitch is going to die, eventually." Amur looked as Envy smirked. "Yeah, too bad it won't be painful. Heh, we could make it painful, couldn't we?" Amur sighed as Envy left the storage room causing him to follow after the unreasonable sin.

"I can't seem to stay away from you." Ed whispered into Roy's ear, sending shivers down the older man's back. Edward got on two her knees and smiled kindly, a smile Roy had never seen before. Edward was in a black blouse and black jeans. Roy guessed that Edward had taken off her boots at the hallway. "Ed..." Roy whispered out. Edward leaned down again and set a soft kiss on to the man's lips. "No matter how much trouble I get into with Al, I want to stay with you for a little while. He's concerned that you'd brake my heart." Edward set another soft kiss on the side of Roy's face. "He's worried about me. He wants me to return to normal." And other kiss onto the neck.

Roy wrapped his arms around the small blonde and pulled her onto the couch on top of him. He gave a small kiss. "Don't worry, I'll stay with you no matter what you look like." Roy said and easily rolled over so that he was on top of the blonde. He pressed his lips against Edwards. He nipped the bottom lip as to get access. Edward complied by opening her mouth slightly, Roy's tongue brushed against Edwards, wrapped around it. When the kiss broke, Roy put a soft kiss on Edwards's neck and slightly nipped and sucked the soft area, getting a reward of a soft moan escaping Edward's mouth.

It was as if she was watching her own memory or event happen. "I can't seem to stay away from you." She heard herself say as she looked at the couple on the couch. She heard Roy call out her name. She felt distant as she remembered what she said next, mouthing it as it was said out loud. "No matter how much trouble I get into with Al, I want to stay with you for a little while. He's concerned that you'd break my heart." She watched as she kissed the side of Roy's face. "He's worried about me. He wants me to return to normal."

She felt like crying as she watched Roy wrap his arms around her younger self and pulled her on top of him on the couch, kissing her. "Don't worry, I'll stay with you no matter what you look like." She smiled. She remembered this night well. This was the first time they made love. She watched as they kissed. Then the memory went dark, the images disappearing. She was in the darkness again. She didn't feel anything but the biting coldness of the darkness. She sat down and curled up into a ball. I don't want to move anymore. I'm too tired.

"Roy? Are you awake?" Roy turned over to face his blonde lover. "Yes, well I am now." Edward smiled as she kissed him lightly. "I love you so much" Edward said nuzzling into his neck. Roy smiled and wrapped his arms around him. "I love you too. I love you too." Roy leaned down to kiss her again but only to have her disappear.

Roy woke up and looked around for Edward, but not to find her there. It was just side effects of the dream. He closed his eyes and reopened them as his door opened to reveal a very tired Riza Hawkeye. "Furher, its nice to see you awake." She said with a straight face. Roy wondered tiredly how she managed to always keep that cold expression. "Any news?" Roy asked and watched as she moved and sat down next to the hospital bed. "Not really, I'm sure Kyo-kun filled you in with the most important information. " Roy nodded. "Yes, he did." Roy still felt tired as he sat up straighter. "So what's the plan?" Roy asked looking at Riza. "You're staying here, sir." Riza said and got a glare out of the Furher.

Kyoko opened her eyes and looked over to see her brother sleeping next to her. She smiled sadly and sat up. On the chair near her bed laid fresh clothing and a note. She picked up the note, read it and smiled. The clothing was from Riza, extras that might fit her. She went into the bathroom and changed, careful so she didn't wake her twin brother. She sat on the chair where the clothing were and looked out at the bladed curtains. She felt slightly empty as she looked out at the busy city. Mom...
