Iron Man
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all or if he moves will he fall?
Is he 'live or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care?
This darkness merged with another darkness, one eyes could adjust to. Alphonse was at first confused at where he was but as soon as he heard Edwards' voice he remembered—everything--: drawing the transmutation circle, adding the drop of blood, when things started going horribly wrong . . . his body being- "I'm sorry, but it's the best I could do" came Ed's weak voice from below him. Alphonse looked down to see his older brother missing two limbs – left leg and right arm – bleeding free red blood over his remaining hand, his clothes, the floor, everywhere. Alphonse quickly grabbed him, about to ask 'what was the best you could do?' but stopped in mid-sentence when he saw: his arms were no longer made of flesh and blood, but now hollow metal . . . and so was the rest of his body.
"I-I sealed your soul into the armor that was in the corner. I used my arm as material in a transmutation. I thought I had lost you . . ."
"Brother we need to get you to a doctor!-You're bleeding too much! Brother? – can you hear me brother! No Ed, don't die! You can't!" Ed couldn't hear him, he was preoccupied clenching his teeth against the pain, trying to stop himself from screaming; the only sounds from him were muffled whimpers of agony. The only thing Al could think of was saving his brother, which he did. He carried Ed to their neighbors the Rockbells – skilled auto-mail mechanics – (which meant they would know something about helping Ed.)
"Please, you've got to help him Aunt Pinako." Pinako just stared at him. "If you don't do something . . . he's gonna bleed to death" Alphonse said, pleading, urgent, sad, and afraid all at the same time. "Winry, clear off the bed and get some bandages" Pinako finally told her granddaughter. "Set him down gently, Alphonse, then wait in the hall."
'My body's been like that – hallow, empty armor – ever since we tried to bring mom back. Ed, Winry, and Aunt Pinako understand, but when other people see that there's nothing inside . . . it scares them. They stare and whisper behind my back talk about me like I'm some kind of freak!; I'm not!- I'm a human being!- A living person!- just like the rest of you! I have feelings too! Stop Staring at me!'
