When Lust arrived at the train station Sloth was waiting for her. The expression on Lust's face was emotionless, it had taken a lot of work to keep from crying.
"Good, you're here", Sloth said to her.
"How long until the train leaves?", Lust asked her sitting down on a bench.
"in a few minutes, we'd better get on".
Once the train started moving Lust couldn't help but feel sadness. "If I don't have a soul then why do I feel sad?", Lust thought to herself. She missed Natasha, and Scar. She couldn't stop thinking about him. The way he made her feel, whenever he was near Lust would feel different. Scar was the only reason Lust had to become human. Once the train had arrived at Dublith Sloth and Lust got off. "Back to Dante", Lust thought to herself has she followed Sloth out of the city and into the woods. Lust couldn't help but feel nervous about seeing Dante. After all, she had gone off on her own for awhile without bothering to say anything.
"Mommy you're back!", Wrath said running up to Sloth and hugging her.
For a moment Lust had a memory of a young Natasha running up to her in the same manner. But only for a moment, "the flashbacks", Lust thought to herself has she entered, "they're coming back".
Lust walked into the library where Dante was sure to be waiting. Sure enough, Dante was reading some book on alchemy. When she heard Lust enter she turned to face her.
"Lust, how good of you to join us", she said shutting her book. "Would you mind explaining why you were gone?".
I didn't answer her.
"It doesn't matter, I've got something else for you to do", Dante said standing.
"What is it?", Lust asked her.
"There are some people who've been sticking their noses in places where it doesn't belong", Dante began handing Lust a piece of paper. "I'd like them taken care of".
Lust took the list from Dante's hand and looked over it. Nobody special was on it, just three names. Sheska, Roy Mustang, and Scar. Lust heard herself gasp has she read Scar's name at the bottom of the list.
"Something the matter?", Dante asked.
"No", Lust replied quickly, "everything's fine".

The conductor had said that Lust, and another woman had gotten on the train to Dublith. Considering Scar couldn't go anywhere by train without somebody noticing him, he had to go on foot. In his hand he held the locket he had given her. He would find her, he didn't care if it took him the rest of his life.
"Selena", Scar said to the wind, "I love you, and I won't rest until I've found you".
It was dark when Scar made it to the nearest city, which was Eastern. The first thing that Scar noticed were the wanted posters with his face on them. "Guess I can't get a room somewhere", he thought to himself. Scar walked aimlessly around the city for awhile before walking into an abandoned house and collapsing onto what had been a couch.
When Scar woke up the next morning he immediately missed Lust's body next to his. His thoughts went to the nights that they had spent together, either just holding each other or making love. "It's funny", Scar thought to himself, "how one without a soul can fall in love. I guess that means you don't need a soul to fall in love".
Scar decided to risk getting caught on a train and snuck on board a freight train going to Dublith. During the train ride Scar found himself thinking. Thinking about memories he'd had of Selena…
Her lips tasted like strawberries against his. Selena broke the kiss and turned away.
"Matthias we can't do this, it isn't right", Selena said.
"What would be the point of stopping? We'd still crave it nonetheless", Matthias said.
Selena knew he was right. She loved Matthias and knew she always would, even if she was married to his brother. Selena rested her head on Matthias's shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her.
"I love you Selena", he said kissing her forehead.
"I love you to".
They stayed like that. Sitting under a tree by the river until Selena fell asleep watching the sunset. Matthias smiled and gently nudged her awake.
"Time to go", he said to her.
The memory ended and Lust found herself back in reality. Gluttony was at her side, with a finger in her mouth has usual. Lust sighed, she had decided to go to central and take out the military personnel first. She couldn't kill Scar, she just couldn't. "But if I don't, I won't get a philosphers stone and I'll never become human", Lust thought to herself. But Scar was the very reason Lust wanted to become human.
"Lust, the trains stopped", Gluttony said tugging on her dress.
"Alright, let's go", Lust said standing up and getting off of the train.
Lust and Gluttony walked to Central headquarters. And has they walked a thought occurred to Lust. If Dante wanted military officers dead so much then why not order Pride to do it? After all he was the fuhrer. It just didn't make any since has to why Dante wanted her to do it. If Roy Mustang was such a threat then Pride could just order him sent into battle or something.
"I'm hungry", Gluttony said to Lust.
"You can eat later", Lust said, "we have work to do".
Lust walked to Central headquarters. It would be easy, she told herself. Just go in and tell Pride she needed Roy Mustang killed. But has she walked inside Central Headquarters, she caught a glimpse of blonde hair and a red jacket.
"You!", Ed said turning his arm into a sword.
"Really, I'm not in the mood for this so I'll make it quick", Lust said extending her claws.
But Gluttony had already charged, mouth wide open at Ed. Ed easily moved out of the way of the attack and Lust extended her claws at him. Ed cut off her claws with his sword and moved out of the way has Gluttony attempted to headbutt him. By this time, any soldier near by had drawn a pistol and started shooting at Lust and Gluttony.
"Come on", Lust said grabbing Gluttony, "let's get out of here".
"But there are so many people to eat", Gluttony whined.
"I'll buy you a hamburger", Lust said running out of Central.
--- --- ---
Lust sat on the bed and watched has Gluttony devoured the unfortunate young woman. They were in an old apartment, Sloth was supposed to be here soon. There was a knock on the door and Lust opened it. Sloth stood in the doorway, Wrath at her side.
"I heard you had some trouble trying to see Pride", she said stepping inside.
"You could say that", Lust replied.
"I came here to let you know, that if you're looking for Mustang, he isn't here. He was transferred to Eastern", Sloth said. "But that librarian, she's still here somewhere".
"Thanks for the info", Lust said, "but, whose watching Fullmetal now?".
"Envy, of course", Sloth said.
"In that case, I think I'll pay a visit to the library", Lust said walking out the door. "Come, Gluttony".
After leaving Sloth and Wrath in the hotel Lust walked to the library and Gluttony waddled behind. When they got to the library Sheska was just leaving.
"I'm sorry, but we're closed now. Come back tomorrow", she said to them.
"I'm afraid we aren't here for the library", Lust said to her.
"Oh", Sheska said looking confused, "then what are you here for?".
Lust extended her claws, "you".
Sheska's eyes widened and horror and she ran down the street. Lust and Gluttony ran after her. Sheska turned down an alley and tripped over a garbage bag.
"Please, don't hurt me. Take what you want and go", Sheska said crawling away.
"Can I eat her now?", Gluttony asked excitedly, drool running down his mouth.
Lust looked at Gluttony, and then to Sheska.
"Enjoy your last meal", Lust said to her before leaving the alleyway.
A scream could be heard but it was quickly silenced. Lust waited until Gluttony came out of the alleyway, blood dripping from his mouth.
"Let's go", Lust said.

When Scar made it to Dublith he immediately began asking around about Lust. Nobody had seen her. Scar was about to give up for the day and leave but he bumped into a conductor.
"Sorry, didn't see you", the conductor said walking away.
"Wait", Scar said to him. "Have you seen a woman, wearing a black dress and gloves, with a red tattoo on her chest?".
"With long black hair and lipstick? Yeah, she was here yesterday. Got off the train from Eastern, then a few hours later came back and got on the next train to Central. She was with a short fat guy too".
"When's the next train to Central?", Scar asked.
"In approximately", the conductor checked his watch, "ten minutes".
After purchasing a ticket and barely making it onto the train, Scar sat down in a compartment that had little people in it. Few people recognized him. He was wearing a trenchcoat, sunglasses, and a hat to hide his appearance. The people in this compartment were similarly dressed. "All hiding from the law", Scar thought to himself.
"Don't I know you from somewhere?", a voice said snapping Scar out of his thoughts.
Scar turned to see Marcus looking down at him. He sat down across from Scar.
"So what're you doing here?", Marcus asked him.
"Going to Central", Scar replied.
"Mind if I ask why?", Marcus asked.
Scar didn't answer and instead looked out the window. Marcus chuckled and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter and lit one. They sat in silence for awhile until Marcus broke it.
"You're looking for her, aren't you?", Marcus said.
"What?", Scar said looking at him.
"Lust. Last time I saw you, you two were together. And I was in the room next to you at the temple and I heard everything", Marcus said grinning.
"Fine, I'll admit it. I've—"
"Fallen in love with her?", Marcus finished for him.
"Yes", Scar said to him.
"And she left you?", Marcus asked.
Marcus didn't need to have Scar tell him the answer to that question. It was all over his face.
"A little advice. If she left you, it was for one of two reasons. Number one, is she doesn't give a damn about you, simple has that. She is after all, a homunculus and had no feelings".
"And number two?", Scar asked.
"She left you because she wanted to protect you".
"Protect me from what?", Scar asked him.
Marcus stood up to leave the compartment. "That, I'll let you find out".
Once in Central Scar got off the train and started to walk through the station aimlessly. Scar put his hands in his pockets and felt something in them. He pulled his hand out of his pocket and held the locket in it.
"Selena…", Scar let the name flow from his lips and he put the locket back in his pocket.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Scar caught a glimpse of a woman in a black dress. Scar followed the woman and realized that it was Lust!
"Selena!", Scar called to her.
Unfortunately, the station was so crowded and noisy that Lust probably hadn't heard him. Scar pushed his way through the crowd towards her but had no hope of making it to her.
"Selena!", he called again.
This time, Lust stopped and turned around. For a moment Scar thought he saw her, but she turned and got on a train. By the time Scar made it to the train it was already pulling out of the station.
"Damn it!", Scar yelled throwing his hat on the ground, forgetting that everybody would recognize him.
"IT'S THE STATE ALCHEMIST KILLER!", somebody yelled.
Scar turned around to see soldiers running towards him.
"Oh shit", he muttered.
