KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Staggering over the front door Ed undid the lock, opening the door about halfway to see who would be ringing at such and early hour.
"AH!" Ed cried as he saw a shiny metal object flying through the air at him.
With a dull 'THUNK' a spanner made contact with Ed's forehead sending him reeling backwards as stars burst before his eyes.
"WHAT WERE YOU DOING TO GET YOUR ARM INTO SUCH A STATE! COMPLETELY SHORTED OUT! PIECES MISSING! WATER DAMAGE! TEETH MARKS!" came the shrieking voice of doom…….Winry Rockbell.
"Winry!" Al cried overjoyed as he heard the ranting screams that had always filled him with warmth.
"Al! How are you?" Winry said happily as she stepped over Ed into the room.
The two chatted contentedly as Al went into the corridor to bring her bags through.
"Ow Winry!" Ed groaned as he rubbed his head as he stood up a little unsteadily.
Suddenly she was looming over him, spanner being wielded like some kind of grand weapon.
"Then take better care of your auto-mail. Next time I'll be using the screw driver, and I'm not talking about on your arm or leg." She said leering unpleasantly fingering her spanner of doom as she spoke.
Ed's eye twitched.
He knew exactly what she meant.
Like a switch had been pushed, she changed. She became the nice smiling Winry he knew, and didn't fear.
Evil Winry was terrifying…
"Take a seat Ed and I'll have your arm back as good as new." She said smiling.
Out of one case she produced her tool box, from another she produced a shiny new auto-mail arm.
Seeing that arm was like have Christmas, Easter and his birthday come all at once. Now there was nothing standing between him and his ultimate revenge on Mustang…
Except a couple hours of intense pain of having the nerve endings reattached when the auto-mail is attached…
Ok, he won't be doing much revenge today then.
Silently she worked on his arm, meaning she was in deep concentration.
There was a gentle clicking of metal as she readjusted the fit of his arm and the attachments of the wires and counting of the screws (Ed had never let her forget that time she had forgotten a screw…) Winry's eye twitched at this.
"It's all set up Ed. Are you ready?" she said once it was all attached before she connected the nerves.
"Aww I hate this part, even though it's been done loads of times." Ed groaned through clenched teeth. "Just get it over and done with."
"Ok, here we go." She said before smoothly turning the switch.
"Ggrr ah ur" Ed groaned through clenched teeth as he felt the auto-mail attach. It was like having a white hot tong clamp onto the end of every single nerve in his arm.
Al repositioned his brother by easing him back onto his bed though he was quite certain Ed was oblivious to everything around him from the look of agony on his face, he eyes held shut.
"Niichan." Al breathed, full of pain as he watched his brother.
Al and Winry sat down on one side of the room talking quietly.

"Colonel Mustard!" Hughes cried as he burst into Roy's office.
"Mustard?"
"Er…sorry, I was playing cludo. Colonel Mustang, Winry Rockbell has already arrived and has just completed the re-attachment of Edward Elric's arm." Hughes said a little breathlessly.
"Great. He'll be blowing things up in no time then." Roy said with a hint of sarcasm. "How long do I have until a short angry blond boy will charge into my office and try and attack me for coming onto him?"
"I dunno, a day. Can I go sir, we're still playing and I'm very certain it's Mustard." Hughes asked as he started to edge towards the door.
"Fine, but if I die it's your fault." Roy said only to see Hughes had already left.
