Roy felt eyes on him and let go of the nurse he had his arm wrapped around and look back toward the other end of the hallway. He saw nothing but regular patients and turned back to the worried nurse. "Don't worry, just thought someone was starring at me." Roy replied.
"I'm surprised you're not used to it by now. A lot of girls stare at you." She replied, blushing and looking away a bit. Roy let his finger guide his chin so she looked towards him.
"And you my dear, are you one of those girls." Roy asked, letting her face blush dark dark red.
Roy hated himself so much for flirting with these girls. It just felt so he was betraying Edward, even if Edward didn't want him.....
Then out of the corner of his eye, he saw one of his staff members. After a moment of focus, he realized it was Hawkeye. He let his finger drop from the nurses chin, as she hurried off to her duties leaving Hawkeye and Roy alone. "Sir, don't flirt on duty." She said as she rubbed her temple in annoyance.
"But how can I resist, the women here are so wonderful." He responded, a smirk playing on his lips. It was lies, but he was just creating a show. "Now what is it you need that you'd be here interrupting me?" Roy asked
"We did as you told us. We find his old hideout." She was vague on the details and as soon as he realized what she meant, he was glad for her shortage on what was actually going on. He motioned for them to walk down one of the hallways out of the place, a frown on his lips. Roy absently turned and looked at the door numbers, and they happened to pass Ed's room. He stopped fora minute and Riza took a few extra seconds to realize he'd stopped. "What is it, Sir?"
Roy turned back before beginning to walk again, nearly passing Riza in the process but she quickly caught onto his fast foot steps. "Nothing Lieutenant." He responded, hoping Riza hadn't noticed the room number of the door he'd stopped at.
They reached outside the hospital where Havoc had a car parked waiting for them. Once in Havoc started the car, making his way through the busy streets of central towards headquarters. "So exactly what happened?" Roy asked looking to his two lieutenants.
"We were ordered by you to see if we could find any hints to where Envy had been before he died. We got one, and followed it to its end. It was a secret unit underneath central headquarters, Sir."
Roy cursed aloud and muttered to himself. "He's been under our noses all this time." Roy thought and he hated himself for ot being able to find out sooner. If he had, maybe Edward wouldn't be suffering like he was. He said this happened to him over a year ago. How had he lived this long with no one to help him. Al had died almost two years ago. He was suddenly surprised at Ed's strength of will and masks, to be able to hide this for so long. "Bring us there." Roy ordered and Havoc nodded. It wasn't like the drive was any different to get there.
Ed was currently starring at the ceiling, hundreds of thoughts passing through his head. He never let his thoughts wander before. It usually was too painful. Everything that had happened to him was painful. He'd lost everything, but himself. Sometimes he really wished he'd been the one to die. Not Envy, not Al.
"Brother!" Al yelled, reaching his hand towards his brother. Yet Ed could never reach him. And he was being held back. He didn't remember who it was, but he knew it had to have been someone powerful enough to do it. He tried so hard to escape, to run towards his brother who was currently, middle of the circle. Envy was standing on the other side of the room, grinning as he knew exactly what was about to happen.
Al had been restored. Not even hours previous. And Envy...Envy had taken it away from him. He tried harder to get away, to save Al!. Yet even if he had tried, AL was already dead. his soul being brought to the gate.
"BROTHER!" Al yelled once more, and Ed felt something in him lurch. The sound of his brother, flesh and blood, screaming his name as he was being absorbed into the transmutation circle.
"ALPHONSE!" Ed yelled back, wanting so much to help him, to save him. He saw the light of the circle die down, nothing there. He looked over to Envy to find that he'd escaped. He wanted to kill him. He needed to kill Envy for what he'd down to Al.
"Edward!" Someone yelled to him. Probably the person holding him. He was still trying to escape and he needed to.
"Edward!...Edward!." Ed's eyes opened wide as he came face to face with some doctor. "Are you alright? Gave us quite a scare." The doctor asked, helping Edward to sit up slowly, instead of letting him shoot up.
"What happened?" Ed asked, ignoring the doctors question. He wouldn't have been able to answer it honestly.
The doctor shook his head. Edward seemed to be quite the nuisance to him. "You fell asleep and it seems you started having a nightmare. Heightened pulse, shaking, cold sweat. As well when a nurse tried to wake you, it was ineffective. What is it you were dreaming so heavily on?"
Ed's eyes looked down, avoiding that of the doctor and nurse in the room. "Just a memory. You know...military stuff." At that the doctor sighed once more and shook his head. He handed Ed a clipboard and a pen showing him where he had to make one final signature in order to be released.
"If you have any trouble sleeping, just stop back on by. I'd be more then willing to help you." Ed nodded his thanks and waited for the two of them to leave before he got off the bed and walked over to the chair where Mustang had put his clothes. He picked them up and the two holes previously in the two shirts and jacket were no longer there. They could have only been fixed alchemically.
Ed's eyes softened and he griped them close to his chest. Then they widened as the pain from Roy flirting with the girls had caused. Part of him wanted to trust Mustang. The other wanted never to see his face again.
'This fucking sucks.'
And once again another update. I'm thinking that it'll be easier to just focus all efforts on one story and then move onto the next. I'm not giving any promises but I think I'll work on Mishaps after this story is full complete. (No I do not know when that will be. I'm just going with the flow of this one)
I'll try to get another chapter up in a few days. Chapter lengths very depending on what I'm writng. The past two have just been to move things along, (to help my brain out) the next one thing swills tart up again.
Yes I killed Alphonse. I had been rereading through the previous chapters noticing Al was missing and I had no idea what to do with him. I figured I'd add to Ed's torture and have him be dead. Sorry to all Al fans.
As always, thanks to readers and reviwers.
