hi everyone. a couple things:
i kno that i said i would post soon but when there's three teens all waiting to get on the computer and the occasional dad, its hard to get decent computer time. not to mention finals week and regents (a state test you have to take in New York and NO WHERE ELSE which isnt fair!) and when i said i knew where the story was going i only had a vague idea ive had to expand it.
as a reminder this Ed is not the Full Metal Alchemist that we all know and love. He is just a just a person with the name and appearance of the Full Metal Alchemist. Therefore this stories Ed will have a different personality. Though i'll probably through in some references of the real eds personality.
also i changed the rating because i was gonna include some slight small lemon but i decided against it. some of my friends are reading this and im not sure if i want them to know how...descriptive i can be(it is always the quiet ones). Hi guys!
Please Review!
here it is, finally and im so sorry it took so long. Ch 2...
Disclaimer: I don't own X Men Evolution or Full Metal Alchemist. Though if i did...laughs evilly then coughs uncontrollably

Chapter 2: A familiar expression
"Yeah, definitely, come on in." Rogue said holding the door open for him.
"Thanks," he said and walked inside. "Professor Xavier is the guy I want to talk to about living here, right?" Rogue nodded. "Where can I find him?"
"Oh right, he's out right now. He should be back soon though... I guess I should tell someone that you're here." Rogue beckoned Ed to follow her and they headed towards the court yard to tell Storm of their hot (again Rogue was forced to mentally smack herself) new arrival. Rogue felt slightly awkward leading Ed down the hall as their footsteps echoed in the empty mansion. She felt like a proper host would give him a tour as the walked but she was the last person you would call proper. And then she realized something. She liked him...a lot. This had become obvious as she stared at him when she thought he wasnt looking; and at how she blushed when he caught her looking.'Great,' she thought, 'someone else who'll make my life harder'. As she thought this she couldnt help but hate herself for it. Even though she knew full well that they could never be together, she couldn't help but feel attracted to him. He was just so hot! Not to mention the very good chance that he probably didn't even like her back. It was hopeless in her thoughts.
And it was hopeless in his thoughts too. Unknown to Rogue he was thinking similar thoughts. 'She's definitely not like any of the girls that I've ever met and yet...theres something about her that makes me want to be with her...Wait what am I thinking? There's no way that I can be in a relationship right now or maybe ever, not after...'
"Everyone else is out here," said Rogue. "Let me find Storm; she's in charge when the professor isn't here." Rogue left Ed and headed for the garden where Ororo was probably tending to her plants. But suddenly there was a huge explosion from behind her and she turned to find Ed running towards her.
"What's goin on?" Rogue asked Ed
"I dont know! I was just waiting for you to come back and then I saw a glowing card fly towards me really fast so I moved to the side to avoid it and it exploded!" Ed said amazingly fast without a breath.
"What!" asked Rogue. "That sounds like Ga-" But now it was her turn to see a glowing playing card head towards them. "Watch out" she yelled and pulled Ed (who did not see the oncoming card) away from it but it swerved towards them and exploded as it hit the ground. They jumped out of the way to avoid the blast only to have the force of it push them away. They tumbled and rolled on the ground and when they stopped Ed was on top of Rogue. Both blushing like mad Ed, got off of her.
"What's going on! What's attacking us?" Ed asked as he quickly helped her up.
"Not what, who," She said as they began to run away into the nearby woods. "Its Gambit, and where there's Gambit ya can bet there's-" but a blast of swirling fire roared overhead and to avoid it Rogue pulled Ed behind a tree."-Pyro. There might be more of 'em but I doubt it" she said as she stuck her head out to see if another flame was coming. When it seemed clear, they ran to another tree, their previous one being scorched.
"More of who?"
"Magneto's acolytes"
"Why are they attacking? We haven't done anything, have we?"
"Doesn't matter if we did, basically they're our enemies. But I would like to know why they attacked now of all times. C'mon," she said as she pulled Ed out from behind the tree in order to dash for another. "Where are the others? Ya would think they woulda heard the explosions." They peaked out again only see to fire heading towards them and as they went to the other side of the tree a card appeared to come out of nowhere and landing in front of them, the card exploded, sending them through the now fire, partially scorching their clothes and burning Ed's gloves. As they landed, Rogue hit her head against a tree and lost consciousness.
"Rogue? Rogue? Rogue, wake up!" panicking he grabbed her hand and felt her wrist for a pulse, not noticing that his bare flesh was touching hers...
Finally the other x men arrived to investigate the explosions they had heard. They found a strange boy over the now unconscious rogue and assumed he was the one responsible for all the commotion.
"Hey! Get your pathetic ass away from her!" Ed looked up to find a tough looking guy staring back at him with a group of teens not that much apart in age from Ed himself. "I said get away from her now!" and with this, sharp claws were extended from his knuckles. A very intimidating image indeed, and so Ed slowly got up with his hands raised as if he were being arrested. "I didn't do anything! We're being attacked!"
"Huh, you mean, like, by you! What did you do to her!" said a brunette in a pink sweater
"Me? I didn't do anything. It was pryo-maniac or something! and gambits-alot"
"Really? Because from where I'm standing it looks it was you who did a lot" Said a guy with ruby sunglasses
"No! it wasn't me! I swear I-" but before he could finish his sentence Gambit appeared from above and grabbed Ed, putting his arm under Ed's neck, slighly choking him but only enough to keep him from struggling. "Gambit's so sorry to interrupt but Magneto has business with this one."
Ed didn't like the sound of that at all. Ed, with a boldness he didn't know he had, attempted to jab Gambit in the gut with his elbow but Gambit managed to keep hold of him. "Gambit would'nt do that if he were you." he said and grabbed Ed's ungloved hand. Gambit was in the middle of pulling Ed's hand behing his back when he froze. He then put on a face of that looked like he was in pain or choking, to the x men it was a familiar face though they could'nt quite place it. Ths strange boy had a familiar face on himself. Then suddenly with a grunt each, the boy pushed away Gambit, who passed out on the ground, and dropped to his knees breathing hard.
"Whats going on?"asked a black woman with long silver hair. Ed got up and used a low branch to support himself. Suddenly the branch began to glow. Ed seeing this let go and the branch then exploded. Landing on the ground he touched a large rock which also exploded when he removed his hand and the blast threw Ed towards the x men. They backed up slightly still not trusting him.
"How did he do that?" asked a teen with a german accent(AN: i wont write the way the accent sounds because its too hard for me) to a redheaded girl.
"I don't know but it seems a lot like-"
"Hey gambit, did you get the kid?" yelled Pyro with his australian accent as he ran from behind a bush and stopped dead to find the x men all there and Gambit unconscious. Doing the only thing he could think of he sent a wave of swirling fire towards them. The redhead held up her hands and an invisible shield formed in front of them, protecting them from the fire. Ed stared at it in amazement. Figuring that there was little he could do Pyro picked up Gambit and with some difficulty ran away. Still breathing hard Ed noticed a hand in front of him and Ed looked up to find the german kid offering to help him up.
"Looks like you were telling the truth." he said.
