Pairings: Gen, hints of Winry/Sciezska
A/N: In another universe, Winry's destiny was to become a prodigy at alchemy, but not without great sacrifices. After her father's death, she and her best friend Sciezska try to revive the man- only to fail. After her best friend loses her body and is anchored in a suit of armor, and she herself loses an arm and a leg, they leave to try to find a way to correct their mistake.
Winry rubbed the back of her head, completely dispirited as she left the First Branch library for the first time.
She needed that information on Tucker's first talking chimera… though maybe she didn't want it. She didn't want to believe that man had… Her stomach turned at the thought.
"Hey, only State Alchemists are allowed in there!" a voice called, and Winry looked up to see a tall man rushing past her.
"I have to go in! They told me that's the only place I could find the information!" the tall man snapped back at the guard, and Winry turned to him.
He was tall- tall and lean, almost rangy thin but his shoulders were strong. His clothes had seen better days, ragged in places if painstakingly mended. His hair was a dark blond, pulled back in a pony-tail and his eyes and face were hidden by a pair of sunglasses… Winry could see the pale scars slashing an otherwise handsome face.
"Hey, mister- you can go take the exam like the rest of us," she said, reaching out with her automail to grab his wrist- and ripped off half his sleeve.
Underneath was a bizarre tattoo. It could have been an alchemy circle- but Winry had never seen one that made her hair stand on end.
There was a sense of the alien, and just plain wrongness, seething from those marks… And Winry backed away instinctively as the man grabbed his shirtsleeve. He cast about, to see who was watching- and made a break for it.
Later, Winry would wonder what would have happened if she had done something different.
A/N: Kudos to anyone who can figure out who "Scar" is...
It's Alphonse.
