Winry opened the door to her room and walked downstairs to the kitchen. At first nothing seemed out of the ordinary, ed was staring at the glass of milk put in front of him like it was going to kill him… but so was… akane? They were sitting right next to each other and were staring at the milk like it was evil.
"akane… are you afraid of milk too?" asked winry hesitantly.
Akane shot her a death glare.
"I'm not afraid of it… I just don't like it!" she said crossing her arms and pouting.
"akane just drink the milk don't be like Ed. Please I'm begging you, we don't need another calcium deprived alchemist here." Said winry slightly amused.
Akane glared at the glass in front of her, she got really close to it her nose almost touching the cold glass.
She took a deep breath and picked up the cup, she put it near her moth and gulped.
"here we go." She said her expression pained.
She took a gulp of milk, but she wouldn't swallow. She ran over to the sink and spit out the milk draining it down the sink. She pulled out the movable hose faucet and began rinsing her mouth out with it. A/N I don't know if they have those but I thought I would be nice if they did)
" that was disgusting, I cant believe I just drank… cow juice!" she said almost gagging at the thought of milk.
Winry walked over to the paralyzed Ed and picked up the glass of milk. She walked over to the sink and poured it in.
"it's not that bad you know." She said looking at the both of them, akane practically gagging on air, and Ed finally regaining movement.
"it is too!" retorted Ed recovering from his milk stare down rather quickly.
Winry sighed.
" okay winry answer this, would you drink something that came out of a human? Even if it was good for you? But it still came out of a human?" asked akane seriously.
"of course not, that's disgusting." Said winry disgusted at the question.
"exactly." Said Ed from the table.
"Ugh, you two are impossible that makes no sense." Said winry giving up not really wanting to fight with two totally cracked alchemic geniuses.
"we win!" chimed Ed and akane high fiving when akane walked over to him.
"like I said." Said winry pulling out a chair and sitting down at the table, slamming her head on the table and wrapping her arms around her head.
"brother! Akane! Are you two ready were going to be late!" said a very stressed al.
"we already missed the first train and we should have already been there!" said Al beginning to stress himself even more.
"alright, arlight, lets go." Said Ed getting up from the table.
"so soon?" asked winry picking up her head.
"ya, we should have left half an hour ago but well… ya…" finished ed his cheeks flushing.
Winry shrugged it off.
"bye winry." Chimed Ed Al and akane.
"bye you guys… promise you wont get yourselves killed." Said winry exasperated.
"we wont." Said Ed smirking.
" don't do anything dangerous that outs you in the hospital." Said winry taking on a serious tone.
"uh… by winry!" said akane smiling and waving as she hauled Ed and Al out the door. they grabbed their things on the way out and went down the road to the train station.
"I'm never going to keep them out of danger am i?" asked winry to herself standing in the door way, watching them race down the road to the train station. A/N I'm too lazy to tell you what happens on their way to the station….so imagine it!)
They reached the station just in time, they boarded the train just seconds before it left.
"whew, that was close." Said Ed wiping his brow.
"well if you would just…" Al tried to say but Ed cut him off.
"I don't like what I don't like! I wont drink the milk!" yelled Ed cutting off his brother.
"that's not what I meant but… alright, whatever." Said Al to tired to fight with his brother.
Ed sat down fully and crossed his arms. Then seconds later he got a satisfied smirk on his face and a shojo star in his eye A/N I don't know how to describe it… the sparkly thing he gets when he's being stupid.)
"I win." He said an idiotic satisfied smirk on his face.
Akane looked at him and then rolled her eyes. She looked out at the window and watched the country roll by, slowly lolling off to sleep.
Later Ed followed in sleep and after that Al did too. They all looked so innocent sleeping you would never be able to tell how troubled they really were if you just stumbled upon them there.
In reality they were all troubled teens... not in that sense, they all had some sort of past some sort of secret.
&&
They reached central in due time, sleeping the whole way. The train stopped and made them all jump at the lurch it made.
Ed and Al were the first to sit up right, then akane came around. She rubbed the front of her head with her left hand apparently she hit it on something when the train stopped.
Ed absent mindedly watched her hand, then he noticed it, something on the topside of her wrist, a transmutation circle?
"akane what is that?" asked Ed pointing to her wrist.
"huh? Oh that, it's a birthmark why?" said akane curious at his curiosity in it.
"oh for a second I thought It was a transmutation circle." Said Ed laughing at his stupidity.
"actually, it works like one." Said akane.
"what?" said ed his amusement in his apparent stupidity dissipating.
"well you know my eyes allow me to use alchemy without a circle or anything right?" sail akane.
"ya, go on." Said Ed.
" well with out the birthmark it wont work… it kind of acts like a transmutation circle, and well If I pass my hand over it my alchemic power is increased." She finished in one breath.
Ed amazed just sat there as Al got up with his luggage.
"you guy's know almost the whole train is empty right? We should get off." He said point blank stating the obvious to his two oblivious companions.
"ya we should, lets go." Said akane shoving Ed off the seat so she could get out.
"ow! What was that for?" he yelled rubbing his now red nose.
"simple I needed to get out." Said akane shrugging holding her luggage over her shoulder.
Ed and the rest walked past a bench with two familiar people sitting on it.
"fullmetal! Ice! alponse!" yelled the familiar man.
They turned around to be looking straight at the colonel and his first lieutenant.
"colonel, lieutenant! What are you guy's doing here?" asked akane.
"nothing much, we weren't expecting you three back so soon." He said.
"well winry worked her magic and fixed my automail in one night." Said Ed.
"by the ay if you weren't expecting us then why were you guy's here?" asked ed suspiciously.
"Oh please fullmetal, it's called a coincidence!" said mustang smirking his famous smirk.
"theres no such thing as coincidence with you colonel shit!" retorted Ed.
"fine think what you want were going back to HQ come with us." Said mustang point blank.
The three looked around at each other.
"alright." Said Ed answering for the group. They walked over to one of the military vehicles and got inside. They drove in silence to the HQ.
When they arrived they went straight to roy's office.
"Ed, akane, I have something for you two to do." Said roy sitting down behind his desk.
Ed and akane looked at each other and then back at mustang.
"shoot." Said akane.
"I need you two to inspect some labs for me." Said mustang.
"ugh, not more labs." Said ed exasperated.
"Alright." Said akane.
"Which ones?" she asked.
"akane inspect lab three, Ed got to lab one, they've been suspected of suspicious activity." Said mustang resting his elbows on the desk.
"suspicious activity? Oh joy." Said Ed sarcastically.
Akane looked at ed, rolled her eyes, and turned back to mustang.
"alright, lets go Ed." Said akane pulling him out the door and to the street.
When they were out of the building mustang began leanin back in his chair a smirk present on his face.
"don't they make a cute couple lieutenant?" asked roy smug.
" yes sir." Said hawkeyed a small grin on her face.
&&
Akane and Ed walked down the street.
"well this is lab one." said Ed stopping in front of the building.
"bye." Said akane waving as she walked away, ed got a glimse of her wrist and saw the mark again.
Ed walked in through the gate and met up with the head scientist waiting for him in the front.
"hi, I'm here to inspect the lab, are you the one in charge here?" he asked.
"why yes, welcome fullmetal we've been waiting for you.." he said leading Ed inside.
&&
Akane walked down the street for about fifteen to twenty minuets, to finally find herself In front of lab three.
"here we go." She said walking past the gate guard who noticed the silver watch dangling from the belt loop of her skirt let her in.
She walked into the building and walked to a woman at a desk who seemed to be the receptionist or something.
"hi, I'm here to inspect the lab, do you know were I can find the person in charge here?" she asked.
"I am." Said a man walking up behind her.
Akane turned around, and the man held out his hand for her to shake.
" welcome to lab three ,ice we've been waiting for your arrival." Said the man shaking her hand.
"uh right, I'll go inspect now." She said walking around.
" let me take you around the place so you don't get lost while doing your work." he said.
Akane turned to him.
"alright." She said.
The man led her around the lab, she asked certain questions that would determine suspicious activity or not. They finally reached the end of the inspection.
"well that's the whole lab, ice." He said putting his hands together.
"alright I'll…" akane began to say before she was cut off by a loud scream coming from a door next to her.
She swung around.
"whats in that room?" she said turning her head to look back at him.
"confidential." He said smiling.
"what do you mean confidential? What exactly are you hiding from the military?" she said looking at him. She turned to him.
"nothing that you wont soon find out." He said giving her another smile.
"what do you…?" she tried to say but the something hit her hard in the back of her neck knocking her to the ground.
With the little bit of conciseness she had she couldn't do anything but look at her hand in front of her face, then she drifted off and lost conciseness.
