-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What do you mean 'they have Fullmetal?', Hawkeye?" Roy asked in a low hiss as he laid in bed useless due to his wounds.

"Exactly what I mean, sir. It's my fault for not making sure Fullmetal stayed out. Armstrong tried to stop them but was knocked out by the Fuhrer. I was able to get him back but that was only because Scar helped." Hawkeye informed her boss with no emotion on her face though on the inside she was scared for Ed.

"And why did I get away and not Fullmetal?" Roy inquired with a pissed look set upon his face. He wasn't pissed at them; he was pissed at himself for giving Ed the chance to even get into the fight.

"If I may speak, sir. It was Fullmetal who got you out before he ran back in to help Hawkeye. He would have made it to her had it not been for Lust and Envy." Armstrong stated with a grim face as he looked out the window of their hideout.

"So, what's the plan to get Fullmetal back?" Roy asked as he glared at the ceiling while biting the inside of his bottom lip to keep the tears of defeat at bay.

"Sir, we don't have a plan." Hawkeye informed sadly as she watched her boss fall apart at the seams.

"And why not?" Roy growled back as he turned his uninjured black eye to meet brown.

"Well, sir, with you still healing we're one man short of what we need if we even wish to have a plan." Hawkeye said with a deep frown and sighed as Roy started to sit up while cussing the whole time.

"Nonsense, I'm able to fight." Roy said softly while he tried to stand straight but really couldn't.

"Sir, I believe I'm going to have to disagree with you." Hawkeye snapped at him as she helped his to sit down as he lost his legging. "Your left eye has been severely injured, we just removed the bullet, which, luckily, missed your heart and just hit your shoulder, and you're whole body is covered in deep gashes. It's a miracle that you're even alive right now." She nagged as she gently pushed him back down onto the bed and covered him up.

"But I have to save him, Hawkeye." Roy whispered to where only she could hear as he let himself be mothered by the gun wielding woman.

"I know, colonel. We'll go get him once you are healed or when we get another great fighter. Now sleep. They won't kill him since they don't have Al." Hawkeye felt the tears at the back of her eyes and she turned away from Roy and walked out leaving only three occupying the room.

"Armstrong." Roy said after the silence grew too long for him to be comfortable.

"Yes, sir?" Armstrong answered as he turned to look at the black haired man.

"Where are we?"

"What's left of Scar's old town, Ishbal. He brought us here to keep us out of danger until he can figure out where they are keeping Fullmetal."

"Why would he be doing this? He hates state alchemists." Roy said confused as he looked at Armstrong with a raised eyebrow.

"Allow me to explain. Yes, I do hate state alchemists, but Fullmetal is one that I wish to fight in the future. And for the reason I am helping you is for the same reason as yours. To kill the one that started this war; Pride." Scar explained making Roy jump when he had first spoke because he had not seen him earlier.

"Pride being King Bradley, am I correct?" Armstrong asked and Scar nodded his head in reply.

"So, Pride killed your people and he has Fullmetal right now. Yes, this is turning out to be a pain in my ass." Roy retorted as he sighed and closed his eyes.

"I couldn't agree more. Anyway, your question earlier about a plan, I have one. I will infiltrate their hideout and tried to find Fullmetal, come back with a map of the place and when we find someone to replace your spot, we shall fight." Scar instructed as he moved out of the shadows of the corner.

"No, I want to fight. Fullmetal is my responsibility and it's my fault he's in this." Roy growled as he slowly sat up and rested his arms on his knees.

"It's not your fault that he does not follow orders. It's his fault." Scar countered with a blank face while Roy glared at him.

"Look, damnit, I can't live with myself if I let anything happen to him." Roy hissed at Scar before he laid is head between his arms on his knees and sighed. "I just can't." He repeated in a whisper that only Scar heard.

"I understand. If you can walk by the time I am back, you can join the fight. If you can't then you have to stay here in rest. Agreed?" Scar suggested with a slight smirk.

"Agreed." Roy's simply replied as he looked up at Scar with a determined look. "I will be the one that saves him." He added before he laid down to get some rest and soon found that he really was tired as he fell asleep in only a few seconds.

"Do you think he'll really be able to fight in such a short amount of time?" Armstrong asked as he watched the sleeping Roy.

"No, but it's for the best. I do understand that Fullmetal is his subordinate but with his injuries he can't fight. Only a fool would rush in like that." Scar explained as he walked toward the door.

"Yes, I suppose that is true, but I've never seen the colonel so determined to save someone, even someone that is just one of his men. Yes, he's fought to get back all of us at least once, but he's never been that determined to go in when he's injured." Armstrong stated as he tore his eyes away from Roy and to Scar.

"Hmm, maybe there is something we are missing; this something is the reason why we don't understand why your colonel is being so stubborn." Scar said as he opened the door and left.

'Scar is right. There is something that is driving the colonel to the brink to save Fullmetal and I doubt it has to do something with Ed being part of the philosopher stone because he wouldn't be so determined since they don't have Al.' Armstrong pondered in his head as he sat on the window sill and began to watch the surroundings.

Yaoi: Alright, chapter three. I'm not really trying to drag it out but now that I read back it does seem that way. XD
