A/N why have I updated so quickly? Perhaps it was the ten buckets of ice cream given to me. And shoved down my throat. And yes, shoveling ice cream down my throat does help. Well, nothing else really to say, so here you are!

Winry walked out of the train, thankfully breathing in the fresh air. She looked about, before noticing a military cab just outside the station. "I'll bet Ed sent it," she smiled to herself, walking over to it. A woman with short brown hair and a mole beneath her eye stepped out to greet Winry. "My name's Lt. Maria Ross, at your service Ms. Rockbell," she said, shaking Winry's hand and opening the door for her.

"Oh, please just call me Winry," Winry replied, sitting down as Ross loaded her luggage into the trunk and sat down next to her. "Where are we going?"

"To the military HQ hospital branch, didn't you know?" Maria asked, straitening her military uniform.

"He's in the hospital again?" Winry asked, and was answered by a curt nod. 'Every time I take my eyes off of that boy,' Winry thought exasperatedly to herself.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Winry, glad you're here," Ed said as he ran down the HQ steps to meet her.

"Ed," Winry said in confusion, "They said you were in the hospital again. And your automail looks fine, what's going on?"

"Long story," Ed replied, "But I do need some more of your handiwork. It's not for me though… you'll see." Ed guided Winry through the halls to the hospital branch of HQ.

Winry walked in after Ed nervously, following him to one of the beds in the back. "Here we are," Ed said, stopping at the bed, "Think you can do it in less than a week?" Winry stopped in shock when she saw Roy. His hand was missing, and his arm was heavily bandaged. Roy noticed the two, sitting up.

"Nice to see you again Winry," he said calmly, "Think you can give automail as good as Ed's?"

"You didn't tell me Roy lost his hand," Winry said, turning to Ed.

"Well, you see," Ed replied, "It never really came up in conversation, you know?" Winry glared at him a moment before turning back to Roy.

"Yeah, I can work with this," she said after staring at his arm a moment. "I'll need to take some new measurements, but to finish only a hand should take only a few days. Pinako isn't here to help me so it might take a little longer than usual, but it should be just as good." Roy smiled appreciatively, and Ed backed out.

"I'll leave you to your work, I've got to go check on Al," Ed said, turning and leaving as Winry unpacked her tools. His smile vanished as he walked back to his dorm room. "I'm back, Winry's taking care of him," Ed muttered, walking into his room and sitting down on the bed across from Al.

"Brother, did you tell him?" Alphonse asked hesitantly, looking at his older brother expectantly. Ed paused, sighing.

"No, not yet," he replied, "I don't know when I should…"

"But brother, if a homunculus was born from the transmutation," Alphonse pleaded, before Ed cut him off.

"If one was born, Roy will have to face it. A product of his sin, just as Sloth is ours. And if I can face a replica of mom, he can face one of Hawkeye," Ed said solemnly. "But she might not be dead, we can't tell him until we figure this all out. Maybe the homunculi took the body so that we couldn't seal the homunculus, that would makes sense. But I still don't think that's it. I've got to go back and talk it over with Hughes more." Alphonse nodded, as Ed lay down to maul over his thoughts.

"Brother, if she's still alive, then what would happen to the homunculus?" Alphonse said after a moment's thought.

Ed stared at his automail, clenching and unclenching the fingers. "I don't know Al. I get the feeling that there's a lot going on here that I don't know."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Lust, are you ready to remind me why I was sleeping in your bed and not my own?" Envy asked, rubbing his eyes sleepily as he got up that afternoon, "Did we fuck or what? I can't remember last night at all."

Lust glared at Envy a moment before dishing up a bowl of soup and some bread and butter for him. "No Envy, we didn't do that. If you had done that with me, you would have remembered it, trust me," Lust replied, handing him the food and sitting down next to him as he started to wolf it down. "But you were dead tired last night, so I can understand your not remembering what we did with your room."

"What you did with my room?" Envy asked. He put down his food and walked to his door, opening it with surprising speed. "Lust. Dead girl. In my bed. What the f-" he stopped. "I remember now, Dante's using my room to keep this bitch."

"Yes," Lust replied, walking to the cupboard and taking out a bottle of a light transparent green solution and drawing out the last of it with a needle. "And it's just about time for her medicine." Envy stared as Lust waked past him in and grabbed Riza's arm, sticking it with the needle and pouring in the liquid. "She still needs to be fed and turned over so that she doesn't get bed sores, but she should wake up sometime either tonight or in the morning. When she wakes up you must tell her nothing and keep her here alright?"

"She's waking up?" Envy asked.

"Yes, she's been on these drugs for weeks, her immune system's started to adapt to blocking them so she's waking up. And we're out of them for that matter," Lust said, rolling Riza off of her stomach and onto her back. "You can't do anything to her while she's asleep, she's too fragile in this state."

"Who do you take me for, I'd never take advantage of a woman while she slept," Envy replied in faked dismay, "What would be the point? I want her to be awake and feel the pain I cause her." Lust brought in a bowl of light broth and started pouring spoonfuls into the girl's mouth.

"Sometime between, say, midnight and 3 in the morning she should wake up. Tell her as little as you can, that's all I ask," Lust replied, pouring the last of the soup down her throat and getting up. "And if you need someone to bitch to about it, please, don't come to me."

"Midnight eh?" Envy said to himself, crouching down next to her as Lust left the room and the door clicked shut. "You had better cherish the time you spend asleep Hawkeye."

A/N I personally love envy with all of my heart, I've found myself somewhat obsessive over him lately. He's just so awesome, and super hot… In other news, yes, the end of the Fullmetal Alchemist series has been aired, and no, I have not seen it yet. I do not know the ending, and I do not want to know it until I see it with my own eyes. So here is my warning to you all. Should I get word of any spoilers at all that take place further in the series than episode 49, I will discontinue this, and all of my other stories. I feel very strongly about this, so don't think of it as an idle threat. In other news, not too long of a chapter, but a quick update, thanks to the help of peppermint ice cream. Five reviws at least, and as always, peppermint ice cream makes me update faster. Well, later!
