Weakness

Roy Mustang, the renowned flame alchemist was useless in two situations. The first being when it rained, the second being when he was stripped of his gloves. Currently his predicament was the latter. That, and the fact he was bound to a chair.

"Roy Mustang. Who would have thought you would be so easy to restrain" A feminine voice laughed.

She stepped into his field of vision. She was a pretty girl, late twenties, curly brown hair that framed her face, blue eyes and a sizeable bust.

"As far as first dates go I'm afraid I've had better to be honest. Most girls only get freaky in the bedroom although if this is what gets you going then who am I to complain?" Roy smirked.

Yes he was bound to a chair, and yes he was utterly defenceless, but he was also renowned for being a womaniser and a complete and utter idiot. And this idiot seemed to this flirting with his captor would get him out of his situation.

"Do you know why I need you?" She asked, leaning down to look him in the face.

"Not a clue, I'm fully clothed and so are you so I don't have a lot to go on" He gave his signature smile.

She laughed, then her face became dead serious and she uttered two words,"teach me flame alchemy"

It wasn't the first time people had come after him for his alchemy. Considering he was the only flame alchemist it was no surprise. People had attempted to simply copy the transmutation circles on his gloves and try to activate them but with no knowledge of the alchemy they were performing or the risks they usually ended up either badly burned or dead. His alchemy had a reputation for being dangerous for a reason.

He sighed,"Look don't you think a lot of people have already come after my alchemy? Clearly none have succeeded so why bother try?"

She smiled,"Because I know your weakness. Everyone knows you can't use your alchemy in the rain but that's not your true weakness now is it? You're utterly defenceless when your dear Lieutenant is in danger isn't that right?"

His eyes widened.

"That got your attention didn't it" She laughed,"I mean it's not too late to comply"

"What have you done with my Lieutenant"

Her smile only widened.

"What have you done with my Lieutenant? Answer me" His voice cracked slightly.

"Wouldn't you love to know"

"You bitch. I swear to god if you've touched her-"

There was a loud crash, a gunshot, and the woman before him fell to her knees, clutching her thigh where blood began seeping through her clothes from a bullet hole. Behind her, dressed in civilian clothing was The Hawks Eye.

"Colonel, I appreciate the concern but I'm more than capable of taking care of myself, have faith in me please sir" She deadpanned, gun trained on the woman on the floor,"You are under arrest for kidnap, attempted blackmail and threatening a State Alchemist. Reinforcements are on the way. Anything you say will be held against you"

There was a faint sound of footsteps and a male voice call 'I think its this way'.

Havoc came into view, accompanied by military police, dressed in his uniform and handcuffed the woman on the floor, leading her away and calling over his shoulder,"Lieutenant, get him home safely. You'll both have to give statements but that will be tomorrow"

Minutes later Roy Mustang exited the building, followed by his ever faithful Lieutenant, to a black military car. He slid into the passenger seat and she took the drivers side.

"Thank you Lieutenant, for rescuing me from that awful date" He grinned sheepishly,"Although how did you know I'd be in trouble?"

"When a woman spend most of her time looking at your gloves it gives reason for suspicion" She replied, eyes on the road.

He smirked and glanced at her "Where should she be looking instead"

"Well personally I like a man with a big pay check" A faint smile graced her lips.

He tossed his head back in laughter,"Where would I be without you Lieutenant" He chuckled.

"Probably still in an abandoned warehouse tied to a chair and not for kinky reasons either"

"I'm truly grateful Lieutenant. Thank you"

"You're welcome sir, it's my job to be protective of you is it not?"

He smiled, that woman was right, Riza Hawkeye was indeed his weakness.
