Disclaimer: I don't own FMA

It was time. I cursed silently as the brothers got ready to sneak out of their apartment. But I was going to protect them, because I knew every move that was to be made. And I was going to try to make this as enjoyable as possible, because soon they'd head to see Izumi and I'd be stuck here.
"Let's go," Ed said after we were done tying together bed sheets as an escape rope. I winked at them.
The plan was I was going to distract Maria and Denny while Ed and Al snuck out, and I would meet them at the lab. Thankfully, the brothers lent me a copy of the map, although I'd probably take a while longer to get there because of my directional disabilities. But I'm sure I'm going to get there sometime before Lust and Envy.
"Good luck," I said, hugging each of the brothers, "I'll see you soon, but I might be a bit late. Go in ahead, but just be careful, alright?" I said, chuckling a bit as Ed blushed slightly. Al smiled at me (I was getting better at telling his expressions). I mean, I had messed with the plot a little, so I had no idea if what was going to happen would change, so of course I was worried. I had become close to the brothers, and I had done what I told myself I shouldn't. I shouldn't get too attached, because I didn't belong in this world. And I was going to go back anyway. But they're so lovable, who wouldn't care about them? I understand how Winry felt...
A twinge of jealousy ran through me, followed by guilt. I mean, I liked Winry in the show, but envy seemed to win me over, since of course, she would end up with Ed. I envied her for being the one he chose, and it's probably going to be the same in this, and it's not like I'm going to try to prevent it. I only want the brothers to be happy, so I'm willing to take away all the unneeded casualties. I was a fighter, not a lover like Winry, another reason to envy her. I envied Winry as much as I tried not to... Damn, I gotta stop hanging around Envy. He's rubbing off on me.
Anyway, I waved slightly as I strode over to the door, and exited into the hallway. I spotted Maria and Denny standing by either side of the door and walked over to Maria.
"I have a question." I said, frantically trying to scavenge my brain for a suitable thing to ask. It was my best plan
"Yes?"
"How long are Ed and Al going to be monitored? Like, how long are you two staying as bodyguards?" I asked. Truthfully, I didn't remember how long they were. And now that I thought of it, I was kinda curious.
"When the Scar issue is taken care of." She replied. I silently cursed. Scar was going to be around for quite a while... Damn.
"Oh, alright. Do you know who took on the Scar case investigation?" I asked, although I was pretty sure I knew who.
"Lieutenant Colonel Hughes is in charge of the case," Maria stated. I nodded again, but pursed my lips.
"Well, I'd like to thank you for taking care of them and watching out for them. I was there when Ed and Al encountered Scar in East City, so I was really worried about them. I feel reassured with you two protecting them. Thank you so much." I said, bowing quickly. Maria look flustered as she told me I didn't need to bow. I chuckled as Denny came over.
"Thank you too," I said with another bow. Denny grinned, and I guessed he heard my previous conversation with Maria.
"What are you, their girlfriend?" Denny laughed along with Maria as I blushed and flapped my hand at them.
"No way, I'm dysfunctional enough. I don't need their idiocy to take care of too," I countered jokingly. We shared a good laugh.
"I don't think anyone could deal with them that long," Maria smiled and I looked at her pointedly.
"Then how do you deal with them?"

"..."

"HA! Anyway, I'll see you guys tomorrow. I have to get back," I said. I had given the brothers around ten minutes, so I think they were outside by now. Time to make my way.
"Alright, goodnight Lynette."
"Good night, Maria, Denny," I nodded at them as I said their names, and waved as I walked away.
Once they were out of sight, I looked over the map as I exited the building. This would take me awhile.

I had finally arrived at Lab 5. I walked around it, trying to be inconspicuous, until I found the hole in the fence the Elric brothers had made.
It had taken me a while to find my way here, and I knew by now both brothers were fighting. The clink of metal that rang through the air only confirmed my guess.
Truthfully, I was scared to death. Navigating the streets at night, something I have never done before, which had made me conscious of every noise and movement. I was especially on my toes here, since who knows what lurks around the abandoned laboratory. I felt like I was walking into a death trap, and it was everything I could do not to shriek and run away. I was screaming inside, but I forced myself to move regularly.
I conveniently ran into Al and Barry. Thing is, I was behind Barry, and Al was farther away. So, behind Barry, I wade frantically at Al to get his attention, which worked immediately. But I also got Barry's attention in the process.
"WATCH OUT!" Al shouted at me as Barry came at me, cackling.
"New prey!" He laughed maniacally. I raised an eyebrow as I clapped my hands together, and used the air to make a wall of water, which Barry ran through, soaking the armor.
I was once again fighting an armed opponent, another serial killer. And the knifes he had were flipping HUGE. I ducked as Barry swung a knife at my head, clapping and yanking a longsword out of the ground, pulling it over my head to protect the knife coming down to slice my head open. I quickly darted away as Al started fighting Barry again. I used alchemy to split the sword in half so I had two swords, which were actually amazingly light.
"Al, where did Ed enter?" I asked loudly.
"In a vent on the wall!" Al directed. I scanned the wall quickly, locating the vent opening. I cursed. I'd have to have Al boost me up. A plan formed in my head and I dashed over to the fight.
"Al! Move for a sec!" I commanded, and Al moved out of the way as I swiftly knocked Barry's head off. I looked at him, pretending to be horrified. He laughed again.
"Scary, isn't it? I am an empty suit of armor! And you must know, your dear friend is too!" He cackled. I looked at him in mock astonishment, but used my eyes to analyze him.
Once my brain was turning, I launched myself forward, knocking Barry's knives out of his hands.
"Sorry, not ssurprised," I grinned as I discarded my swords and clapped my hands onto Barry's dripping armor. He froze over with a sheet of ice, holding him in place. Before I was out of the time I had bought, I rushed over to Al and started dragging him to the wall.
"Boost me up! Hurry!" I yelled, pushing him to the wall. Al bent down and made a cradle with his hands as I ran at him, jumping into Al's hands as he threw my up. Adrenaline ran thick through my veins as I grabbed onto the edge of the vent. Thing is, I'm horrible at pull-ups. I was just a chubby girl who knew fighting, not a body builder.
"Crap," I muttered. I struggled and pulled my arms up until my palms where flat against the vent, and I pushed myself up and wiggled into the vent.
"BE CAREFUL!" Al shouted after me. I smiled to myself.
"YOU TOO!" I shouted back as I started to wiggle through the vent.
Okay, this was a small vent. My shoulders and hips were brushing the sides of the vent, and it wasn't even tall enough for me to kneel. I had to inch forward, using my elbows.
Cold sweat gathered on my forehead as I bit my lip hard. I was claustrophobic. I lost it whenever I couldn't move my arms or legs as I wanted. I was like a wild animal, I couldn't control it. It started with sweating, then thrashing, and eventually sobbing. But I knew I needed to get through this for the brothers. I need an excuse to kick Envy's butt, and maybe meet Lust. And save Ed from getting too hurt.

After I could hear fighting below me, I used Alchemy to make a hole and made a metal pole with the excess metal that extended down to the floor. I slid down it, fireman style.
"Wonder woman had arrived!" I exclaimed, striking a pose. Ed stared at me, sweat dropping. I laughed sheepishly and made a gesture to go on.
"Don't mind me, continue with what you were doing," I said. I observed the scene: the armor fighter had already been broken. The head rested a few feet from the body, which was cut in two. Ed was bleeding heavily, and I raced over to him, tearing off the sleeve of my shirt with my teeth as I wiped off all the blood from his face, tearing the clean part of the fabric off and wrapping it around Ed's head.
"You have defeated me. I'll tell you everything," the head said as I was making the makeshift bandages for Ed. My eyes widened. Oh no, I know this part...
"The," the helmet started, but was cut off as razor sharp spikes stabbed through it. I heard it gurgle as it died and the spikes sliced the helmet apart. I growled as I hurriedly tried to finish bandaging Ed.
"What were you going to tell them?" A voice came from the dark of the open door as Envy strode forward to the top part of the armor body, stabbing the blood seal with a sword. I covered my ears, not wanting to hear the armor's voice as it wailed in pain.
"Useless trash," I heard Lust say as she strode forward. The show was right, she did have a supermodel figure. I felt a flash of envy, but remembered that was stupid, and shook it off.
"Hey, Fullmetal pipsqueak. Didn't expect to see you here, Lynette," Envy said, walking over to us normally. I stood up, shielding Ed as he gave me a suspicious look.
"Stupid head! Idiot! Moron! Dumbass! Gay skirt-wearing palm-tree dumbass stupid head asshole idiot moron SON OF A BITCH! I'M GONNA KILL YOU FOR KILLING THOSE ARMOR DUDES!" I yelled, throwing fast punches at Envy. I then tried my boxing moves my aunt had thankfully taught me.
I tried an upper hook, but as Envy dodged and went to kick my side, I thruster my palm into his leg, snapping his shin. As he stumbled back I drove a punch into his chest, twisting my hand at the last moment, magnifying the force enough to collapse a few ribs. I kept fighting, not giving Envy a chance to recover until he pushed me across the floor.
"YOU STUPID HEAD!" I groaned as I staggered to my feet. Red lighting crackled around Envy as he healed and he laughed at me.
"Weak," he taunted as I came at him again, eyes flashing in anger. He moved and tripped me, kneeing me in the stomach hard. I thumped on the floor as blood pooled in my mouth. Envy grabbed me by my hair with one hand as I tried to transmute a sword, making me come up as he pulled my hair up. I cried out in pain as blood dripped down my jaw. Envy laughed.
"Not so powerful now, are we?" He rubbed it in. I tried to make myself stay awake. That's when I thought about the feeling I had in the air vent. Where I wanted to thrash out. That feeling overwhelmed me and I spit blood onto my hand, clapping y hands together before Envy could stop me. I used my own blood to form a razor blade, which I then used to slice off my shoulder-length hair which Envy grasped. I thrusted my blade into Envy's hand as I crawled away, cursing. I'd need to get my hair cut better later. Envy growled as he gingerly held his hand as if healed.
"Don't kill her!" Lust reminded Envy. He nodded harshly, although with the look he have me, I wasn't sure that he was feeling obliged to make sure I was alive.
I crawled over to Ed, who grasped me by the shoulders.
"Are you insane?!" He said angrily. I felt touched. He was worried about me! I felt much better and full of energy. I removed his hands from my shoulders and gave him a fond look.
"Yes, yes, I probably am. But it's my fault if I pick a fight with a hummonculus. Watch yourself," I said as I got up. Ed tried to stand, but I glared at him until he stayed down. By then Envy was standing a few feet from us.
"Is the love fest done yet?" Envy asked, annoyed. Ed and I blushed as I tried to side kick him in the face. He dodged and caught my leg, pulling my toward him. I swore as I tried to twist away, but Envy easily lifted me off the ground and threw me against a distant wall. I coughed up blood, and I started to get dizzy. I was faintly aware that my chest was hurting a lot, but I was going numb.
"Envy! Humans are fragile!" Lust scolded. Envy nodded sheepishly.
"Yeah sorry," he chuckled as he strode over to me and housed me over his shoulder. By now I didn't have the strength to resist.
"LYNETTE!" Ed shouted, drawing attention to himself. Envy soon knocked him out with a knee to the stomach, carrying him as both hummonculi exited the building, which was currently crashing down to the ground.
The last thing I could remember seeing was Maria and Denny rushing over to Ed and I as Envy put us down, then blacked out.
