"Wow... this place is huge!", Winry said looking up and the very large military hospital.
Jean threw down his cigarette and stamp on it, the hospital had a "no smoking" policy as it sometime irritated the patients. "Well what did you aspect, there's alot of soldiers, alots of fights, so there's alot of injuries to be treated. Your patient should be on the second floor, I know the room number so lets get going ladies." Jean opened the entrance door.
Winry was still staring in aw when she got pulled out by Rose. "Come on, remember we're not here on vacation.", Rose smiled. "Mommy, where we going?" Rose's son asked. "Just to see a person about a leg. Hey, Lieutenant Havoc, once you escort us there can you watch my son til we finish talking to the patient? I'm not certained he's ready to see someone with an injury like that." Rose asked nicely.
Jean smiled. "Sure, I'm going to be hangin around Roy and Riza anyway so you'll have 3 very capable baby sisters"
Rose nodded and they all entered.Gluttony sat on one of the beds. He looked around. "What we here for again"
Riza looked at him. The homunculus had apparently a very short term memory. "Remember we're here to see about getting you an automail limb. They should be here any minute"
"Oh yes! I remember now... I'm still hungry." Gluttony complained.
Roy replied. "You ate enough to feed a family of four just a half hour ago. You don't need anymore." He thought:"Is this guy serious, really if he keeps eating this much he'll get so fat he won't be able to stand up even with a automail leg." Roy frowned and sat down on a chair.
"Hey I'm here." Winry entered. Riza walked over and saluted her. "Miss Rockbell, its been so long. Are you well"
Riza and Winry made small talk for a while. Roy continued to frown, rather bored, however Gluttony had found something of interest: A common smell. He had the scent of a familiar human. It wasn't on any of the soldier or the blond haired women that had entered, it was just outside the room.Jean, Rose and her son stood outside the hospital room. "Now sweety, you stay here with this nice man. I'm going into that room to see someone"
Her son nodded and let his mother hand go. Jean began to speak to the young lad while his mother went to work. Rose entered the room.Winry by this point had most her tools out and was pointed each out to Gluttony, which was curious but confussed. Riza looked to see Rose enter. "Why hello there." Riza was expecting to see Pinako, Winry's grandmother, but she was familiar with this young lady. She knew Rose as one of the many people of Lior that help with the recontruction.
Rose greeted her, she went to speak but was imidietly interupted by a very excited Winry. "Oh Rose, could you pass me another tool? I'm showing our patient how I make automail"
Rose hadn't yet even paid attention to the patient so she grabbed a random tool and went to pass it to Winry but she suddenly stopped now filled with horror.
Winry looked at her with consern. "Is there something wrong"
Gluttony also looked at her, she was indeed familiar. Now he remembered where he saw her, she was to be Dante's next body however the lack of the scent of purfume told him that it wasn't Dante. Maybe she had found a different body. Gluttony wanted a closer inpection of this person so he lifted himself up and grinned at her. Rose's interpritation of Gluttony grin wasn't friendly at all, she screamed and toss the tool at Gluttony which struct his head. She ran out of the room.
The homunculus was in pain but more confussed than anything else. He wasn't going to hurt her. He watch as the blond haired girl.. what was her name... or Miss Rockbell leave the room.Rose ran outside the room and struct into Jean. He looked at her "Hey hey what's the matter... looks like you've seen a ghost"
"No, I've seen a homunculus!" Rose said winded.
Winry ran out and heard what Rose said. She stopped and her eyes grew wide. A homunculus? Wy the hell did they lie to her, they told her he was a military soldier. Her face grew dark. "What the HELL is going on? You said he was a soldier-in-training. Why did you lie to me"
"We didn't lie. The fact he's a homunculus doesn't change the fact he's a soldier aswell." Roy said entering the hallway.
"What's going on? I heard they all died. Why is he still alive? Winry questioned.
"Something happened... when I saw him last Dante... took away his thoughts. He was thinking while he was in there... lets me guess: the strange happenings are linked to the comeback of those monsters." Rose said, turning her attention to the Coporal.
"Oh and I thought I was the only one talented at guessing these kind of things", Roy smirked. "Well were not totally certain. But we believe that Gluttony, this homunculus is but one of 3 which have returned. But don't be frighten, he chose to join the military. To be of help. Now, Miss Rockbell, are you going to treat him or are you going to discriminate against his kind"
Winry thought. She looked at Rose. "Do you still want to help me?" Winry had saw too much hatred and discrimination over the years against people such as the Ishbalans and the people of Lior. How could she say no, he needed her automail and if he was helping the military he was one of the good guys.
Rose looked down, she thought much like Winry. But she had heard some awful things... like that Gluttony had murdered a doctor Marcoh... by eating him... but if he was here he couldn't still be eating people. "Just... just tell me he won't hurt me... or anyone else"
Roy nodded. "I trust him. Now you two get back to work." He smiled and watched the two ladies go back in the room. They had to trust Gluttony, it was the way of the military: Trust each other, work together to keep your country and your people safe. Even though Gluttony wasn't human he made a vow to protect them. And that he would do, Roy would make certain of that.
