Life after the Military

Roy thought back to his encounter with the lightening alchemist "No it couldn't be, could it?" Roy asked himself...

Roy sat there for a minuet thinking, one old friend came to his mind who might know something he just might be able to help Roy thought to himself.

"Riza what do you think of calling Full Metal, he might know something about this?" asked Roy as he walked over to Riza.

"About Michael, what do you think is wrong?" asked Riza

"Yes about Michael and I was thinking about the day we fought the lightening alchemist and my glove melted, I wanted to ask him if that could have had anything to do with it." Replied Roy as he sat down next to his wife.

"Interesting, I don't see how but I don't think it would hurt to ask." Said Riza as she gave him a peck on the cheek, Roy then got up and went to go call Ed. Meanwhile...

"Ok he's making a call, that's my cue." Said a mysterious voice, he heard this over the phone line tapping device...

"Hello Fullmetal, this is Mustang."

"Hey Colonel, long time no see."

"Actually I retired, and I need your help."

"YOU'RE RETIRED!"

"Yes, it's not that surprising is it? Anyway I need your help."

"With what?"

"It's my son..."

"YOUR SON?"

"Yes I have a son, now focus I need your help."

"So who's the lucky lady?"

"That's not important."

"Oh come on."
"If you must know I married Hawkeye."

"YOU MARRIED HAWKEYE?"

"OH FOR GODS SAKE, JUST FOCUS! My son can use alchemy by snapping like I used to, but he doesn't need to use symbols or anything and the effect is freezing not fire or explosions."

"So the effect is the exact opposite of your alchemy, hmmm interesting."

"Could you come down and look at it for me?"

"Sure, where do you live?"

"I live in central by the military HQ, and when is the soonest you could come?"

"Well I could get on a train later today; I could probably be there no later than noon tomorrow."

"Ok great, I really appreciate this Fullmetal."

"No problem, see you tomorrow."

"Bye"

"Bye"

"Oh how interesting, Mustang's kid can snap and freeze, his kid could be useful." Said the mysterious voice as he turned off the machine he was using to listen to the conversation.

"Michael you need to go to bed its 9:30 and you have school tomorrow." Said Roy and he tried to herd his son into his room.

"But dad I'm not tired." Complained Michael as he tried to escape and get away. Roy just laid him down in his bed and tucked him in.

"Goodnight Michael, see you tomorrow." Said Roy as he turned off the lights.

"Goodnight dad." Said Michael as he rolled on his side and fell asleep. Roy then made his way down the short hall into the family room and sat down by Riza who was reading and turned on the news.

"...and now for the national forecast, over to you Steve." Said the News anchor

"Thanks Gill and for you in central it's gonna be another scorcher tomorrow with highs in the low to mid 90's and..." the news was drowned out by the sound of a large explosion.

"MICHAEL!" Riza and Roy yelled at the same time as they ran to their son's room. Roy kicked down the door and raised his hand in snapping position and Riza already had a gun in each hand aimed at the dark figure in the middle of the dust that was clearing, the first thing Riza looked for was Michael, she saw frightened Michael curled up in his bed...

To Be Continued...

I am sorry this was so short but I thought it was a good stopping point, what will happen next? Who is the dark figure? Is Michael really in his bed? Why am I asking you all these questions? I hope you enjoyed the second chapter, and please R+R if you enjoyed it and even if you didn't. again hope you enjoyed.
