Yay! Chapter 2!
Forgot the disclaimer on the first chappy so here it is.
Disclaimer: I do not own FMA or its characters. The only thing I own is the plot of this story and Cassie.
Firecracker
Chapter 2
She'd been here for five hours and already Hughes had shoved picture after picture in her face, she was sick of it.
Slowly, trying not to draw attention to her hands, she started to pull her gloves of so that she could use the Transmutation circles tattooed on the palms of her hands.
To use her special brand of alchemy, she needed two separate circles that had to be clapped together and then pulled apart to activate it.
Depending on how far apart her hands are when she stops them after the clap the explosion's size can be small or large. The further apart her hands are, the bigger the boom. It also depended on the substance.
She was gonna make a big boom with those photos. She had the gloves off and was about to clap when she spotted someone start to walk into the office.
The man spotted Hughes with photos and quickly tried to escape. The man was Cassie's salvation.
"Lieutenant Colonel Mustang!" Cassie called. She saw the man flinch, turn around and walk back into the office.
Mustang glared at Cassie and Cassie smirked at him.
Hughes was oblivious to the silent exchange between Cassie and Roy.
"Roy!" Maes greeted as he turned to face his friend "I've got some photos to show you!"
"I hate you," Roy mouthed silently at Cassie.
Cassie's smirk turned into a huge cheesy grin. "I love you too," she mouthed back, silently.
Roy's glare intensified but he was forced to stop when Maes suddenly appeared in his face.
Photos were shown again and again.
Everyone but Hughes and Mustang sweat dropped. Hughes had hearts floating around his head and Mustang had anger marks appearing.
Whether they were directed at Cassie or Hughes, no one could figure out.
20 minutes later and Cassie had had enough. She'd almost been hit by several low flying floating pink hearts and was sick of having to duck or dodge every 30 seconds.
Cassie stood up behind her desk, pulled her gloves off again, found something in the room to blow up and clapped.
A rubbish bin near Hughes' desk blew up with a loud bang.
Everyone but Cassie jumped. They looked over at the smoking spot where the bin had been and then looked at Cassie.
They were shocked at what they saw.
There was fire in Cassie's green eyes. Her hair had changed colour slightly.
The tips were their normal orangey-red colour, but from there to two centimetres before the scalp her hair was blue. Starting from where the blue ended, her hair was white.
After about 20 seconds, Cassie's hair faded back to its normal orangey-red and the fire in her eyes disappeared.
Everyone stared.
"Now," Cassie said calmly, too calmly "I suggest that you," she said pointing to Hughes "Put the photos away and you," she pointed at Mustang "Get back to your office before Riza comes looking for you and shoots you."
Both men followed the suggestions made by the pissed off Major.
Calmly, Cassie put her gloves back on and sat down to continue her work.
No one spoke again until lunchtime.
R&R please!
