Yesh! Another chapter out! Since no one reviewed the last chapter, CelticKawaii got a bit depressed. However, it was still a great chapter! Venge blew up a train: best fail evah! XD Anyway, Ed's got some funky wiring issues with his automail, so now he has to call Winry up...ho, boy! Warnings: Abuse, Gushing over kittens, some fluff, and melodramatic villainy.

"Way to screw it up for us, idiot,"
She glared back at him. It's not like I meant to explode on the train, she thought. But you'll never let me live it down!
"Get over it!" Vengeance snapped. "What's done is done! We're walking to Central, it's not too far, so what? I had no control over it anyway, so it wasn't my fault!"
Envy stopped, turned on a dime, and nearly caused Vengeance to ram into him. "Not your fault?" he repeated, picking her up by her wrist and hoisting her into the air.
"Stop it! Put me down Envy! Please!" Vengeance pleaded, dangling helplessly.
"Envy, cut it out," Lust ordered, more concerned with him dragging behind than anything.
"What? I'm just having a little fun,"
Thoroughly annoyed, Lust resorted to slicing off Venge's hand to stop the whole fiasco, managing to stab Envy through and through in the process. The latter didn't seem too phased by it (still maintaining the usual smirk on his face), while the former lay on the ground clutching the bloody stump.
Damn, I hate slapstick, Vengeance moaned.

Ed looked down at his right arm, thinking about the phone conversation he'd be having with Winry. Granted, it wasn't broken too badly, but there were some exposed wires on his forearm, and his fine motor skills were practically nonexistant. And now that the train was delayed...
He turned to his brother Alphonse. "Think you can dial the numbers on the payphone?"
"I'll try," he said, looking down at his hands. Sadly however, his fingers were too huge to dial one number at a time.

"Mind if I help?" Raven offered politely. She began to dial the numbers as Ed winced in anticipation for the less than pleasent phone conversation.

She handed him the phone, glancing over at Josh. He still had the stray kitten that Alphonse found, curled up in his lap and sound asleep.

"Look Raven, he's so precious," Joshua whispered, petting the sleeping furball. Alphonse was looking over Josh's shoulder at him, both admiring the purring angel.

Ed held the phone to his ear as he counted one, two, three rings waiting for Winry to answer. When she finally picked up, he held his breath. "Hello, Winry?" Ed asked, bracing himself for the worst.

"Josh, I know he really means a lot to you, but we can't keep him," Raven sighed, petting the kitten.

"Well, what else are we gonna do?"

"Josh, we can't even afford ourselves right now!"

"Yeah, Winry, my arm...it's not too badly damaged but...I can't write with it. Or hold anything with it. Or anything related to fine motor skills," Ed tensed up, holding the phone at arm's length.

"Really?" Winry was actually kind of shocked; normally, Ed would have his automail limbs torn apart from some crazy fight of some sort. Was this the same Edward Elric? Then again, he still wrecked it.

"Rae, you know what happens to kittens who get sent to the shelter?" Josh said, shuddering. Alphonse gasped. "If he doesn't get a home, they might have to put him down,"

"You know what? I'm sick of you all!"
"Oh, quit your whining and move it already, no one wants to hear it out of you Vengeance!"
"Screw you! I'm leaving you,"
Lust, Envy and Gluttony stared at her blankly. Finally, Envy said, "Okay, fine then. Leave."
Vengeance was dumbfounded. "Seriously?"
"Yeah, if you want to go, just go,"
"But...but..." Venge was confused. "I thought you needed me,"
"Not really," Envy said, seemingly bored with the conversation. "It's your first mission and you've already screwed it up by blowing up the train,"
"You're not gonna let me live it down, are you?"
Lust suspected that Envy was playing head games with the youngster. "Envy, are you seriously letting her walk away like this?"
"Yeah, why not," he whispered back. "Besides, she'll get out of the way of our plans for a while,"
"Alright then! Fine! I'm leaving," Vengeance announced.
"Bye," Envy waved.
"Seriously, I'm ditching you!"
"Well for God's sakes, get the hell out of here already,"
"I'm really going!" she hollored, walking on a train car that wasn't torn apart from the explosion. "Right now!"
"Yup, now get your ass out of here,"
"Now I'm flipping you off!"
"Just go!"
"With two fingers, bastard!"
"That's bastard-sama to you, now beat it!"
Envy turned back to Lust. "Wonder where she'd be going,"
"Isn't it obvious?" Lust answered. "She's driven by a desire for revenge. Chances are she's off to find the alchemist who created her,"
Envy laughed. "That guy's dead, I'm sure of it!"
"We'll see," Lust said, looking at the dot hopping from train car to train car away from them.

Raven clapped her hands together over the piece of paper. In a flash of blue light, the sheet twitched and folded into different shapes before forming into a paper crane. She proudly showed Edward and Alphonse the finished product.

"I call it paper alchemy," she said, beaming.

Ed nodded. "That's pretty impressive. You transmuted the paper to fold into that shape,"

"The trick is to memorize each fold, then go over the steps in your head when transmuting," Raven explained. "This is one of the harder ones, but it actually comes out neater than hand-folding,"

"Can I show them my alchemy?" Josh asked eagerly.

Raven's face went pallid. "Uh...I'd rather you not. It's extremely...messy, and I don't -"

"Aw, come on Rae!" Josh moaned. "You gotta give me a chance,"

"Why?" asked Al. "What's so wrong with it?"

"Well, you see," Raven said, looking at her feet, "anything involving pavement, cement, stone, or any type of rock material...that's his alchemy,"

"And?" Ed pressed.

"It get's torn up," Raven stated cringingly.

"Torn up? That sounds impressive. I like it," said a new voice.

The party turned to see who it was.

Duh-da-da-da! Another chappy finished in record time! Yes! Haha, Venge is such a ham! Sorry to cut this so short -
Ed: Who the hell are you calling short you jerk?
CK: Ed, don't take it so personally, I wasn't talking about you.
Raven: Josh, do you still have that cat?
Alphonse: Nope, he let the cat go, honest. *meow*
Ed: Alphonse.

Coming up next: Vengeance faces off against the alchemists!
