Chapter 6: The Past Is Past.
"Kick his ass Hawkeye." Jean said putting out his forth cigarette.
"Get off," Hawkeye grunted as she sent her attacker a left hook to the jaw.
"Shouldn't we stop them?" Kain said squinting to see clearly out of his glasses.
"Nah, They're both equally skilled fighters. They'll be all right."
Roy got tossed to the ground and to be a jerk she firmly kicked him in the ribs.
"Don't you ever," she said straddling him. "Ever."
She punched him hard in the chest.
"Hit me," She slapped him. "That hard."
"Hey guys, aren't those cops?" Alex spoke up.
"Oh, Who you do you think is going to get arrested for assault; Superman or The Amazonian?" Hughes asked excitedly.
"Riza get off of him! The cops are coming," Kain called.
"Or any other defenseless female." She yelled at him.
He finally got a hold of one of her hands and squeezed it hard. Roy finally manages to get the upper hand and rolled her over.
"You're not defenseless," He punched the ground next to her head. She'd moved her face.
"Hey! No head shots." Riza huffed. He could have really done some damage with that hit.
"You slugged me!" He challenged.
" I always hit you in the jaw," She kneed him in the groin. "Now get off of me."
Roy rolled over in pain and grabbed her leg as she got up. She tripped and almost fell backward on him, but managed to throw herself to the side at the last second.
"We're not finished yet!" He crawled up her back.
"Yes we are," She said, flipping him over her shoulder as she stood up.
He threw himself back at her.
"That's enough," An officer stepping out of the car yelled.
Riza turned her attention to him at the wrong moment.
Roy plowed into her.
"Oh crap!" Jean said. Jumping up from his sitting position.
The boys ran to see about her.
"You alright?" Kain looked her over. Just as her fist collided head on with Roy's lip.
"I guess that's a yes," Alex rubbed his head.
The officer snatched Roy off the ground.
"Be gentle, Man I just got my ass kicked." He whined.
"I remember you punks," The officer said. "You're the same ones who got a citation for disturbing the peace and braking minor's curfew."
"Didn't you cause us enough trouble then," Roy pushed his hand away. "Don't touch me. Can't you see I'm germ infested."
"I should arrest you," The office told him.
"Yeah, so wha…" Riza covered Roy's mouth
"No need, really." She pushed him toward the house.
"The next time, I'll call your grandfather young lady." The officer threatened.
"We'll be good tonight. Promise," Riza shook her head.
The officers walked away and got back into their vehicles.
She unlocked the front door.
"Come on, We'll get that lip taken care of," She murmured inspecting his lip, "A hot shower will do us all some good, and some tea for your cold."
She walked into the kitchen as the other boys went to separate parts of the house for showers.
She handed him a ice pack.
"Lip," she ordered, before pointing to the stairs. "Bath… Shower…which ever you prefer."
She poked her head into the living room.
"Don't even think about it. Get your dirty selves into the shower.
She glared at the guys who looked like they were getting ready to put on their pajamas.
Jean and Kain sat down to watch T.V while the other boys traveled to different areas of the house to shower.
Riza walked into her bedroom and grabbed her robe and went into the attached bathroom.
--20 minutes later—
"Where's Roy?" Riza asked, descending the stairs.
"Trying to find something to cook I think," Maes said, absent-mindedly.
"No cooking," Riza stormed into the kitchen.
"Roy!" She groused. "you're going to get us all sick."
Roy stood there with the phone to his ear.
"Yeah, one medium pepperoni, a large Canadian bacon and olive. On half of the pepperoni can I have pineapples?"
"Uh huh," He winked at her. " 20 minutes. Thanks, have a great night."
"Lets get you that t…" Riza stopped when she saw the mugs of lemon tea on the counter.
"That one is yours," Roy gave her a sleepy smile and sipped his.
"If you can take care of yourself why don't you." She asked, even if she already knew the answer. Even though Roy could "take care of himself" she'd still worry to now end about him.
"Because I have you," He retorted. "and anyway I'm sure your already infected with my cold, I kissed you earlier."
"I thought about that while I was in the shower,"
He grinned devilishly.
"Do you think about me often while you're in the shower?"
"Oh yeah," She said sarcastically. "who doesn't?"
Roy laughed.
"Lets just hope your cold comes after mine so then I can nurse you back to health."
"Everyone knows Hawkeye doesn't get sick," Maes announced as he walked through the kitchen door. "pizza is here hand over the money."
Riza handed him a fifty and waited for Maes to bring her back the change.
She heard the front door close and the boys attack Maes for the pizza.
"Hey you animals, Hawkeye gets first dibs on everything." He hollered back at them.
"Come on," Roy grabbed her hand. "Before they tear each other apart."
"I support you people," She laughed. "when we are older, you will all support me."

Riza ran her fingers absent-mindedly through Roy's silky hair.
She decided to move him into one of her the guest rooms to separate him from the other boys.
"Open," she commanded softly, pulling the thermometer. She frowned. " 106."
Sliding out of bed with him, she slipped noiselessly into the kitchen. Opening up the fridge she saw what she was looking for. Pouring liquid into a glass before adding ice, she quietly headed back upstairs.
"Drink," she handed him the glass.
"Ice tea?" He gulped it down quickly.
"Maybe you should take a cold shower or something," Riza said worried.
Roy took off his shirt and Riza instantly knew he was going to say something stupid.
"Lets go swimming!" He countered, hopping of the bed before falling forward into her arms. "Never mind, bath sounds great."
"Dizzy?" She asked pushing him back onto the bed.
Roy watched as she disappeared into the adjoining bathroom.
He listened as he heard running water.
Slowly he made his way into the bathroom, watching as Riza wait patiently for the large tub to fill.
"I'm way cleaner than any boy should be you know that right?" Roy questioned, pulling off his thermal pajamas.
"Nothing can ever be to clean," Riza frowned, " you could at least wait till I leave."
Roy shook his head and opted to leave his boxers on.
"Come in with me," He began to whine. "that water is cold."
"You're just trying to get me into an awkward situation." Riza accused. "you take your own bath."
"Please?" He begged, holding his head as his world began to sway.
Riza looked at him with concern.
"Alright," She told him as she pulled off her shirt and socks, before beginning to slip into the water with her black wife beater on and black basketball shorts.
He silently followed shivering and he sat down on the opposite side, facing her.
"This is feels kinda good," She forced.
Roy shook his head in protest before, putting his whole body underneath the water.
"I beg to differ," Roy said coming back up a few minutes later sputtering.
"Stop trying to drown yourself you moron." She scolded.
