Despite Edward's insistent protesting, he was carried to the car by Mustang. Roy was eager to get going; waiting for a wheelchair to be brought up was not on his agenda. He did manage to shanghai a hospital attendant to push the cart Al was loaded onto. Al was careful not to say a word. Not that he would have had a chance to, what with Edward berating Roy on the finer points of Roy's personality flaws the entire way to the waiting car. While Mustang didn't respond to Ed exactly, he did "accidentally" jostle him after a particularly nasty comment.

Edward was laid on the backseat. Alphonse had to go in the trunk; which he didn't really mind; anything to get out of staying in the hospital. Roy directed the driver to his house. Once parked at the curb, Ed was carried inside and left on a plush couch in Mustang's living room. The driver was coerced into bringing Alphonse to Roy's library before he was dismissed.

With Al already set up in the library, all Roy needed was a bed so that Ed could stay, as per their agreement, in the library. A bed was produced, and Ed was brought from the couch to his bed.

Roy tries to make an annoyed Edward comfy. It sort of backfires on him.

"Would you stop fiddling with the blanket! It's fine. And why exactly are you tucking in the edges? It's annoying. Mustang. Mustang. Roy!"

Roy stops. He'd rather continue to have an excuse to touch his young charge…but annoying him into a rage was probably not the best way to achieve that particular goal.

"I'll get you some water," Roy states as he turns and leaved the room.

Ed looks towards the doorway to make sure he and Al are alone before addressing his younger brother. "I'm going to fix you, Al."

"I know you will. When you get better," Al replies confidently.

"No. I'm going to fix you now. Are those all the pieces?"

"Niisan, you need to let your back heal. I can wait. Niisan!" Ed had rolled himself off the bed and was lying groaning on the floor.

Al was concerned for his brother, "I'll call the Colonel."

Ed is grunting and panting from the drop to the floor. "No! No. I can do this. It won't take but a minute."

"Brother…"

Ed was grimacing and breathing heavily as he worked his way across the floor to his brother.

"Heh. Ok. Here it goes."

Ed manages to pull himself up to his knees. He then clasps his hands together and places them on Alphonse's body. Light from the alchemical reaction appears as Al's body is repaired. As soon as the transmutation was complete, Ed collapsed on the floor, sweating and obviously in pain.

"Brother? Oh, brother, you shouldn't have done that," Al leans over his sibling, speaking softly to him.

Roy came back into the room at that moment and immediately deduced what had occurred. He drops to his knees beside Edward, moving the hair that covered the boy's face.

"Edward. Edward, can you hear me?"
