Family Reunion

by Envy

The problem with humans is two-fold. One, they're easily tricked. I mean, look at all the fools she's pulled into making Philosopher's Stones.

Two? They easily die.

That short alchemist and his tin-can brother were easy to lure to the town square. Just give out a few fake Philosopher's Stone's via Lust and watch as rumor's spread like wildfire.

Getting Hohenheim to come was a bit harder. But you know, family reunions are worth it. 'Dante'll be here, square things off finally...' Well, he came and that's what matters.

Family Reunion... first in a couple of hundred years or something. Elrics in a square, Al talking to Ed, running into Hohenheim.

I watch from a distance, looking as Ed's eyes go wide then narrow at the recognition of his father. Snappy comments tossed back and forth, oh how like those with the Elric bloodline.

Cue my entrance.

Trisha Elric completes the family and is the obvious choice. The look on Edward's face is priceless, but 'daddy' looks angry.

"Envy," he growls, but I respond by quickly removing the armored brother's helmet, my hand rubbing lovingly on the blood seal, smiling his lover's smile at him. His face goes pale in a moment and he steps forward.

"Envy," he manages again. "Please don't do that. What do you want?"

"I want you to stop acting like a fucking happy family," I told him. "I'm the son you wanted, remember?"

The short alchemist, never meant to be the one cared for stared at me confused and Hohenheim sighs. "Envy," he said for the third time. "Take your hand off of Alphonse."

The armor is almost still below me, shaking so still it feels like vibration below my fingers. "Alphonse?" I asked coyly, looking into the armor. "My son doesn't seem to be in here..."

Inhuman strength broke the blood seal in half, the armor in front of my feminine frame sagging and falling to the ground, soulless.

I couldn't even count to three before the short alchemist was clawing at my ankles, surely unable to even reach my torso. He told me how he was going to kill me and lovely things like that.

"How?" I asked him, his mother's eyes staring down at him.

The short blonde's mouth went dry and I watched in satisfaction as his hands fell from my body. I pulled back from the broken metal at my feet, straightening my clothes. "Edward," I said in that soft feminine voice Hohenheim loved so much.

I snuck a look at my father, his eyes staring at the immobile armor on the ground. Distracted enough. First I touched Ed's hair softly with one hand, my second hand connecting solidly with his jaw. I watched as he fell to the ground.

That, apparently, father couldn't take.

He grabbed my hair, the hair so much like the only woman he ever loved. "Do you think you can kill me like that, love?" I asked, watching Edward spit blood.

"Don't touch him," Hohenheim said.

"What? Did you find some non-existent piece of my body or something?" I teased, leaning in to kiss the bastard, unsettling him enough to rip a hole through his rotting neck, the blood streaming down his body and over my fingers.

The short pest may not have liked his father, but apparently I had gone to far. He spit out a tooth with some blood and stood up, walking over to me. I dropped the body and held out my arms like any mother, only I was flecked with blood and flesh.

The situation was incongruous to him, though the short little alchemist had certainly felt pain in his life.

"You never deserved his love," I told Edward, grabbing his ponytail.

The sudden change in power seemed to unnerve him. "What do you mean, bitch?" he asked, struggling lightly as I pulled him up off his feet. "He doesn't love me."

"More than I," I said, touching his chest lovingly before pulling his hand back and punching it in, grabbing Ed's hard, feeling it pump sticky blood a few times over my hand.

Everyone in the square was gone by this point and I dropped Edward Elric's heart on the ground, leaving it to rot.

The first and last family reunion of the Elric family was finished.
