Hey everyone! I know it's been a while! But I had summer school to go to and then I would hang out with my friends, so I never got around to finish writing this chapter. But now this chapter is done and I will try to keep updating more often! Here is chapter 5!
Chapter 5:The Mission, and Havoc's date!
Riza had all her things packed and was standing at the train station waiting for Havoc to arrive. If you didn't know Riza Hawkeye you would say she looked beautiful. She had on a knee-length green skirt and a white blouse to match. She was looking around and spotted Havoc. "Havoc!" She yelled, as she waved to him.
"Hey Lieutenant." He said, as he casually strode up to her.
"Please, call me Riza. It'd be best so people don't get scared that the military is at their town."
"Agreed. So where are we headed first?"
"Toward the South." She replied as she heard the train whistle.
"Ok." Havoc said as he followed Riza to the train and sat across from her. "How long will we be there for?"
"We will stay there until there is a sign of them in some other location."
"Gotcha."
The first hour of the train ride went quietly. Riza was about to fall asleep when screaming broke out. Havoc looked at Riza.
"Lets get ready." She said as she pulled out her pistol. "Go to the conductor and tell him to get everyone off as soon as possible."
"Right, but what about you?"
"Don't worry, just go."
"Alright, be careful." He replied as left the compartment they were in.
Riza opened the other door leading to another compartment and scanned the area. Seeing nothing she cautiously stepped forward, but that was a mistake, because as soon as she did, a finger pierced her side.
"Well, well hello Lt.Hawkeye." Lust said as she retracted her finger from Riza's body.
"Lust…" Riza replied.
"Yes, and I'm sorry to tell you this but I have to kill you now."
"I'm not just scum military dog, I'm tougher than a lot of them.
" Well in that case…" Lust replied, and then whistled. At the sound of Lust's whistle, two more homunculi appeared.
"Can I eat her?" One of the homunculus asked. He was known as Gluttony
"Not yet." Lust replied.
"Can I kill her?" A younger homunculus asked. This one was knows as Wrath.
"Yes, you and Gluttony may help me kill her, but beware. She said she's tougher than most military people." Lust replied with a smirk.
'Shit!' Riza though. 'My guns won't be able to stop them. I have to get them away from the innocent people.' Riza turned around, and ran through the door leading to the next compartment, but instead of going inside, she climbed up the ladder, and was on top of the train.
"After her!" Lust commanded. All three ran outside to follow her, as she suspected. She shot down, and hit wrath in his head a few times, which caused him to fall. 'Wait a minute! I can do alchemy now!' After a few more shots of her gun, she clapped her hands…
MEANWHILE
Havoc reached the conductor pretty easily; occasionally a few crazy passengers would attack him and ask what was going on.
"Sir!" Havoc exclaimed when he finally reached the conductor. "You need to pull into the nearest town or city right away! There is trouble on the train!"
"Well as a matter of fact, we will be in the south in a bout 15 minutes."
"Good." Havoc said as he ran out to find Riza. He went through every compartment, but couldn't find her. Then he heard some noise on the roof. When he got up there he saw Riza clap her hands and touch the ground. Next he saw spikes fly up from the roof of the train into the three homunculi who were almost of top of her. Though the spikes didn't do much, it still stopped them for a minute.
"Hawkeye!" Havoc shouted, and ran to her.
"Havoc…why are you here?" Riza asked, and turned to see him run to her.
"I was trying to find you. The conductor said we would arrive in the south in about 15 minutes.
"Good." Riza replied, and then looked back. "For now we have to keep these three occupied.
"Right."
"Ha!" Lust said, standing back up. Wrath and Gluttony followed her. "We will kill you, along with everyone else on this train."
"Bull shit." Riza replied, and fired a round at them. Lust returned her attack by sending her fingers at Riza, who moved to the side. Havoc followed Riza's moves but couldn't keep up, and got stabbed in the arm.
"Ha!" Lust laughed. "Gluttony, you may finish that one, he seems weak."
"Jean! Get up!" Riza yelled, still dodging Lust's attack. Finally wrath got bored. He clapped his hand, and turned his arm into a rope, and wrapped it around Riza's leg. Riza fell and smashed her face into the roof. She tried to get out of wrath's grip but couldn't and then Lust shot her finger through Riza's stomach, and one right by her heart.
" I have you right where I want you now." She smirked.
Havoc wanted to help Riza, but was occupied with Gluttony. "Dammit!" He cursed as none of his bullets would stop Gluttony. All of a sudden Gluttony got a hold of him and held him up by the neck. Then Havoc saw it! It was the South. He could get Riza to a hospital, and phone the Fuhrer. With new strength he kicked Gluttony in the face, and shot at Lust and Wrath. "Riza!" He yelled. " I see the city! Hold on!" He rain to wards her. She could barely hear him. She was losing blood fast, and it was hard to breathe. 'No! I won't die by these horrible creatures! I have to protect Roy!' As she thought more about Roy, and how she hoped to see him again, she clapped her hands, touched the ground and made more spikes. Being hit by the spikes made Wrath and Lust to release their grip on Riza. She got up slowly, and shot a few bullets at Gluttony, but I didn't affect his charge at Havoc. "Jean!" Riza screamed. Havoc quickly turned around and saw Gluttony. 'Shit.' He thought as he turned to face Gluttony.
"Jean move!" Riza screamed at him. Suddenly a sharp pain hit the back of Riza's head, and she fell to the ground, out cold.
"Nice punch Wrath. Ro bad we don't get to finish them off now, but we cant do do that in the city on a train. Gluttony." Lust said
Gluttony stopped charging and jumped off the train following Lust and Wrath.
"Good." Havoc sighed, and then looked to where Riza was lying and ran to her. "Riza! " He yelled when he got her. "Come on Riza! Answer me!" He lifted her on his back , and climbed down and lay her on down on the bench she was sitting in, only about an hour ago.
When they arrived he rushed to her the South Infirmary, and once she was in, he called Hughes.
"Hi. Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes, here."
"Hey Hughes." Havoc replied.
"What's wrong Havoc? You sound Worried?"
"It's Riza. She's in the infirmary right now."
"What happened?"
"When we were on the train to the South we were all attacked. She told me to tell the conductor to pull into the next town or city, and when I came back she was hurting and was fighting three homunculus."
"Wow, so did you guys just arrive at Southern HQ then?" "Yes, as soon as we arrived I brought her here."
"Good, so how are you?"
"I'm fine, just a couple of scratches."
"Good, now should I tell Roy? Apparently he was involved in a right between him and Scar, and was wounded pretty badly, so Armstrong, Breda and Falman got him to the infirmary. I told Falman I would call a few days later to see how he is. Should I tell him?"
" I don't think Riza would appreciate it. You know she wouldn't want him to be worried over her. So I guess don't tell him unless he brings it up. Like Riza specifically."
" I'm sure he will, after all he is…protective of her."
"Hughes, just say it. We all know he loves her and she loves him."
"Yeah, your right. Well I better call him."
"And I better go check on Riza. See ya."
"Bye." Hughes finished off the conversation, and hung up. ' I wonder how Roy is going to act when I tell him Riza's hurt and in the infirmary?'
While Hughes picked the phone back up, Havoc walked around the waiting room impatiently, ignoring the pain in his arm.
"Sir." A nurse called to Havoc.
"Yes?" He asked, walking to her. 'Hmm, she's beautiful, wait! I have to see how Riza is.'
"You can visit miss Hawkeye, but be quiet, she's asleep."
He quickly thanked the nurse, and practically jogged to Riza's room. He slowly opened the door and peered inside. He stepped inside, and shut the door behind him. 'She must be asleep. Ug! I really wanted to talk to her.' He thought as he paced. He figured he should stop walking because a sharp pain struck him, causing him to hiss.
"You should get that looked at." Riza said casually. He spun around. "Sorry to wake you."
"You didn't. I've been up for a while, I just acted like it so those damn nurses would go away."
"Nice." He replied, and walked over to her. "So how are you feeling?"
"My head hurts like hell, and my body aches."
"Damn. Guess you'll be here a while."
"Hell no!" Riza exclaimed. "I have a mission, and there is no way in hell I'm staying here while those creatures kill."
"But Riza-"
"But nothing!"
While Havoc was having trouble Riza, Hughes was also having a hard time with Roy.
"Dammit Hughes! I'm going to go to the South."
"No your not Roy! Plus, if she is bad as Havoc says, and there is more attacks they may send her back to Central."
"Well I'll go to Central! I have to make sure she is ok."
"Roy! Damn! Just listen to me you are in no shape to leave. If you try to find Riza, and the homunculus attack you both could die! You're in no shape to protect her, and if she sees you I think she'd rather see a healthy Roy."
"I know, but still! I can't stand being here, while she is suffering."
'She's suffering more than you know' Hughes sighed. It was going to take a lot out of him to convince Roy Mustang to stay put, and rest. "Hey Roy, Falman said you were in the infirmary because of a fight with Scar."
"Yeah, that's right. Why?"
"Well did you kill him? If some then you will come back to Central once your healed, and by then we will know how Riza is."
Roy was silent for a moment. "That's great and all, but I don't know if he is dead or not. I think he is."
"Well, send Armstrong to look for his body."
"You're a genius Maes."
"Thanks, so now that, that is out of the way, I need to know when you are coming back to Central so I can have all my new pictures of Elysia ready! She is soooo cute! I should make a book, and show it to the world!"
"Yeah… so I'm going to go."
"Wait! One more thing!"
"What is it Hughes?"
"I have a mission for you." He heard a moan on the other end of the phone. "Its simple really! In three months I expect to you to have found yourself a wife!"
"Damn you Hughes!" Roy shouted as he slammed down the phone, while cursing at Hughes, though Hughes could no longer hear him, seeing as the phone was slammed down.
"Sir?" Armstrong said as he walked in. "What was that all about?"
" Nothing. Listen, I need you to go to where you found me, and look for Scar's body."
"Yes sir." He replied with a salute and left.
'Wait a minute! Hughes never told me why or how Riza was in the infirmary! Damn him! What could of caused her to be in the infirmary, and how bad is she hurt?'
MEANWHILE
"Excuse me." A nurse came in smiling. " I need to changed miss Hawkeye's bandages."
"Right." Havoc nodded. " Be careful, she is a stubborn one."
"Shut up and leave!" Riza shouted at him.
He just grinned and walked out.
As the nurse was changing Riza's bandages, she started a conversation. " He seems like he cares for you. Is he your boyfriend?"
"No!" Riza replied quickly. "He's just a friend, I work with."
"Oh, I see. He seems loyal to his friends."
"He is, By the way, would you mind looking at a wound on his arm. He's being stubborn, and says it's fin, but i don't believe him one bit."
"Of course I will." The nurse replied as she finished wrapping the last bandage around Riza's head.
"Thanks."
"Your welcome."
"So how long do I have to say there?"
"I'd say a few more days. Are you still hurting?"
"I see. My head hurts still, well shit my whole body still hurts, but I have a mission."
"I figured. I don't need to remind you that you have a wound very close to your heart, and one through your stomach."
"Yes, I remember."
"Also, your head had some damage done to it, so we still have to run some tests to make your you don't have any sort of brain damage."
"I see."
"Well you should rest, and I'm going to find…"
"Jean Havoc."
"Right, and take a look at him."
"Sounds good." Riza replied as fell into a soft slumber.
The nurse found Havoc on the phone in the waiting room. When he was off the phone he almost ran into the nurse. "Hey."
"Hi, would you please some with me?"
"Sure." He replied, as he followed her into a vacant room.
"Miss Hawkeye wanted me to check your are out. She said you have a wound, so please take of your shirt."
"It's fine, I promise."
"Please. She is worried about you."
"I suppose." He replied as he pulled off his shirt revealing a gash by his shoulder.
"Oh my!" She said, blushing slightly. 'He has a nice body.' "That's not good. Your wound looks infected." She walked over to a table, and pulled out a first aide kit. She took out some bandages and such, and then walked over to Havoc, and began cleaning his arm. After a few minutes she was done. "There you go.
"Thanks." He said and pulled his shirt back on. "May I see Riza?"
"She might be asleep."
"Alright, thanks." He said. "Oh yeah, one more question."
"Yes?"
"You wanna go on a date with me?"
She blushed before answering. "Yes, I'd like that."
"Great! Jean Havoc is the name." He said smiling.
"Ryoko Taelsk."
"I'll see you to night at 8?"
"Okay! I'll just change here."
"Sounds good." He said, as he exited the room, and ventured to Riza's room. He opened the door, and walked in, closing the door behind him. 'Looks like she is asleep. Good, maybe she will be in a good mood when she wakes up, and I can tell her what the Fuhrer said.'
About 8 o'clock, Havoc strolled into the hospital. He found Ryoko chatting to another nurse. She looked beautiful. Her attire consisted of a blue skirt that ended a few inches above her knees, and to complement the skirt, she wore a white blouse.
"Hey." He said as he walked up to them.
"Hi!" She replied. "This is my cousin Matsuko."
"Hi!" Havoc said as he shook Matsuko's hand."
"Hello! Well it's my shift. Have a good night." She said as walked away.
"Well lets get going." He said and led her out of the building, and took her to a café. "I hope you like it here. I'm new to this city, so I don't know any good places."
"It's fine. I haven't been here either."
"Ok then."
Havoc and Ryoko chatted away, and drank their coffee. It was about 9:30 when Ryoko told him that she had to get up early tomorrow for work, so he walked her home. After that he went back to the hospital where his and Riza's luggage was, and then he went to the hotel to where they had reservations, courtesy of the fuhrer.
THE NEXT DAY
Havoc awoke at 8:30, and got some coffee for himself. After, he then stripped out of his clothes and got in a steaming hot shower. About 15 minutes later he got out and changed into a pair of blue jeans, and a white button up shirt. Then he headed over to the hospital, when he arrived he didn't see Ryoko around, so he went to Riza's room. He knocked on the door, and heard Riza say come in. He entered, and closed the door behind him. "Good Morning." He said as she walked over to her.
"Morning." She said.
"How are you?"
"A little better."
"Good, so I called the Fuhrer, after I left your room."
"What did he say?"
"To make sure you are rested, and then look some more, and if we are attacked or injured badly, go back to Central."
"I see."
"Well I'm going to go call Hughes, and see how the Colonel is."
"Alright. Bye Havoc."
Havoc got off the phone with Hughes, and was in a somewhat good mood. He was happy that Roy probably killed Scar, but he was mad because he was in the hospital. Before he could think anymore he heard screaming. 'Shit.' He thought as he ran towards Riza's room. He swung open the door, and saw that Riza was creating a little wall between Lust, and Ryoko. 'Damn!' Ryoko must have been changing Riza's bandages at the time. She looked so scared.
"Havoc! Get Ryoko away!"
"Why don't you? I'm in better than shape than you!" He shot back.
Though this was true, Riza knew alchemist, and it was better against the homunculi, which was better than any weapon havoc had. "It's an order Havoc!"
"Dammit Riza!" He said as he rant to Ryoko, and grabbed her hand, "Come on!" He said as he ran. "Stay here! I'll be back."
"Be careful!" Ryoko said, right before she moved closer to Havoc, and captured his lips with her own. He kissed her back, and then left to get Riza. He knew he couldn't do much but he still needed to bet here. Before he knew it, Riza had created a sword and stabbed Lust through the head, but in return she was stabbed in her thigh.
"Riza!" Havoc yelled as he ran to her.
Lust retracted her finger from Riza, and pulled the sword out of her head, and then left.
"Riza! Are you alright?"
"Ye…ah." She replied between breaths. "I think I just reopened all my wounds though."
"Don't worry. We'll head back to Central right away."
"Good." She replied, and then closed her eyes and fainted. Havoc quickly caught her before she hit the floor. He carried her in his arms, to the main lobby.
"Jean!" Ryoko yelled to him.
"Hey." He said. "I have to go back to Central. I'll call you." He said, and then kissed her on the lips. He then left after saying goodbye.
ONE DAY LATER
Riza was in the infirmary, and Jean was once again on the phone.
"Hey Hughes."
"Havoc! What's up?"
"You should come to infirmary in Central right now. Riza and I are here."
"Really? I'll be over in a minute. Bye." Hughes said, then hung up the phone and left.
5 minutes later Hughes saw Havoc in the waiting room. "Havoc." He said, as he walked up to him. "Wow, you don't look good."
Hughes was right. Havoc had bags under his eyes, his face was pale, and his eyes were blood-shot.
"Yeah…. I haven't got a lot of sleep or food with the homunculi around, and plus Roy would kill me if I left Riza die."
"True, and if he finds our that you are in Central he will want to come back to see Riza, but the problem is that he still isn't healed."
"Yeah…he's stubborn."
"Mr. Havoc?" a nurse said when she came into the waiting room.
"Yes?"
"You are free to see Miss Hawkeye now."
"Thanks." He said, and walked to Riza's room with Hughes right behind him. He opened the door and peered inside. "Hey Hawkeye." He said as he entered.
"Hi." She said, then turned to stare at Hughes. "Hughes? Why are you in the South?"
"Actually Riza, you are in Central." Hughes replied.
"Why?"
"Because we were attacked again, and the fuhrer said to go back to Central if attacked again." Havoc replied.
"But what about the mission?"
"Postponed for now." Hughes said.
"I see." She replied. "So what now then?"
"You need to rest." Hughes said.
" I agree." Havoc replied.
"Havoc, you also need rest. Go home and get some." Hughes said.
"I suppose. See ya Hawkeye." He replied as he got up and left.
" I have to back to work. I'll come back later."
"Bye Hughes."
TIME WITH ROY NOW
Roy was currently in the mess hall, when he heard the news about the homunculi's attacked on the South. Then he heard it! He heard people talking about Riza, and that she was the one attacked. He also heard that she was in Central. 'Dammit! I really want to go back, but Hughes is right. I don't want Riza to see me like this. He sighed, and began eating.
Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm
Roy finished his food, and headed off to see Armstrong, Falman and Breda.
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know
"Welcome back sir." Armstrong said.
"Thanks, did you find anything?"
"No, sorry sir."
He sighed and started walking back to his room.
"Shouldn't you rest sir? I don't want you to reopen any wounds."
"I guess, night Armstrong." With that he headed into his room.
And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Roy woke up early, and packed up what little he had. 'Sorry guys' He thought as he wrote them a note telling them that he had went back to Central.
Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I've got to go home
He quietly snuck out, and went to the train station.
Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
He boarded the train, and watched the land pass by. 'Why didn't Hughes tell me Riza was in the hospital, and that the homunculi were after her?'
And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
That this is not your dream
But you always believed in me
Alls Roy thought about was Riza, and if she was ok. Would she be happy to see him? Or would she not want to see him because of the bandages on his head, and the rest of him.
Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
The train stopped at a small town, and let more people on. He saw couples holding hands, and kissing and it made him wish that him and Riza could do that without breaking the rules.
And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Roy finally drifted off into a sleep.
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home
A/N- Well that is the end of that chapter. I hope you liked it. I tried to make it long, and I really love that song, and this song was the song that made me write this fanfic. I think it works really well. The song is Let me go home by Michael Bublé. Thank you for the people who have reviewed to this story!
