Sorry, guys, this is the REAL Chapter 5 for Angel. I messed up royally. So enjoy.


Ed didn't realize that he had slept on his chair again. Hell, he didn't realize that he had fallen asleep. That was until he heard a knock on the door that jolted him from the strangest dream he's had since Andi and him married. Ed got up and walked to the door, tightening his ponytail in an attempt to make it look like he had been up, even if his clothes were saying otherwise.

"Roy?" Ed asked when he saw the raven-haired man on his doorstep. "You coulda just walked in."

Roy nodded. "It didn't feel right," he said as he stepped in, his military hat coming off in the process.

Ed walked into his house, heading into the kitchen to start his usual pot of coffee. "You want some coffee, Roy?"

For a moment, Edward had the urge to call him Flamey instead of Roy, much like Andi had as a term of endearment toward the Flame Alchemist. But, as the split second thought entered his mind of who came up with it, he didn't.

"That would be great," Roy said as he sat at the kitchen table. He looked around. "Where's Mick?"

Ed looked at the time from the clock in the kitchen as he waited for the coffee. "In bed. She's like me on the weekends when I was younger. She'll be up soon anyhow. Mick's gotten a little restless lately."

Roy chuckled. "And I suppose she got that from her father."

Ed chuckled, thinking about it for a moment. "Yeah, she did," he said as he prepared his cup of coffee, remembering how Andi liked it for a split second: hot chocolate mix, sugar, creamer, milk-which Ed never understood why-and coffee. "You like yours black, right?"

Roy nodded as he watched Ed grab both cups and sit one in front of him. He took a sip and watched Ed intently.

"So, Roy, what really brings you here. I know you weren't just in the neighborhood."

Roy sighed. "There really is no getting passed you, is there, Ed?"

Ed shook his head. "Not in the least, old man."

Roy chuckled, taking another sip, and collectiong his thoughts into sentences. He sighed when they were as collected as they were going to get. "Ed, I wanted to tell you in person before Grumman called you and summoned you to his office."

Ed's heart quickened. The only reasons he'd be in Central Headquarters lately was because Mick wanted to see her uncle Roy and because he'd been seriously thinking about looking into his wife's disappearance himself. Maybe what she was working on was some clue. Maybe there was something the investigators overlooked-not that Maes, or his and Andi's former team was bad at their jobs-but they didn't call him a prodigy for nothing.

"Why would the Fuhrer want to see me?"

Roy fought back the emotion, hiding behind the authoritative mask he put on when it came to the girl he helped raise and depressing news.

"Ed, I am not going to lie to you. There is new evidence on Andi's case."


"Lust, where is Envy and Greed?"

Lust thought for a moment. Their trips into Central at night were becoming more and more frequent, leaving Angel with more questions. One of them being if she was the reason. Lust hated it when Envy and Greed would leave Angel feeling partly responsible that they were as thick-headed as they were.

"They left late last night, while you read up on Fullmetal." Lust had given her a book about Fullmetal and his escapades as an active alchemist. She made sure to check the book to make sure it didn't include anything about Andi. That would make both male homunculi angry if they knew.

Angel bowed her head. "Oh," she said quietly, making Lust stop what she was reading to look at Angel.

"What's wrong?"

Angel shrugged. "I was just wondering if I could walk through the city again like that one time." She bowed her head and smiled in embarrassment. "I like the city."

Lust smiled, seeing Angel's human self show through. "You can go, just be back before sunset. You know Envy and Greed would like to see you."

Angel nodded. "I know. They always want to see me. They're like overprotective brothers."

Brothers? That was a new analogy that Lust had not heard from her yet. She had heard Angel use parents, cousins, and even friends, but not brothers.

Lust nodded to her. "You're right, Angel. They are just like older brothers to you."

Older brothers who have been plotting to use you since they laid their eyes on you, and your life with the Fullmetal Alchemist was merely icing on the cake, Lust thought with a bitter tone. She had disliked the fact that they had found a new toy in Edward's life, screwing with his, now, wife. She didn't deserve this. All Andi had done was catch the eye of the two most plotting homunculi.

"Lust, can I go into the city now? I mean, I'll cover my tattoo and everything. I'll be careful." Angel had looked to Lust with those pleading eyes that Lust could hardly say no to.

Lust sighed, her sign of giving in. "Alright, as long as you're careful, I'll let you go into Central. Just remember the way back and remember your curfew."

Angel nodded with a smile, but it faded when her mind started flashing images. Those visions that plague her more frequently than before.

This time, she saw the blonde-haired girl, same as before. But there was something different about her. She looked younger, like in her teens. The blonde was standing in front of a desk, where a man was seated in an Amestrian military uniform. The man was dark-haired, looking dignified and authoritative with oxyx eyes. Angel knew somehow that the man and the girl knew each other well. She also knew that the man had said nearly the same about curfew. He had smiled to the blonde, causing the blonde to smile with him. After that, the vision faded and Angel looked to Lust.

"Are you alright, Angel?"

Angel nodded with her usual smile. "Yeah, just another vision."

Lust grew even more concerned. She'd never heard of a homunculi having visions as aften as Angel did. Lust knew that Angel wouldn't tell her just how often she was getting these visions, which only made Lust wonder more.

Lust gave her a caring look. "Be careful in Central City, alright Angel?"

Angel nodded, leaving Lust to retrieve her red jacket that hid her tattoo over her heart. lust watched her as Angel made sure the tattoo was covered. Although Lust's has always been between her rather large boobs, she thought it fitting that Angel's tattoo had been placed over her heart.

Soon after Angel had gotten herself ready, Lust looked her over, carefully inspecting Angel to make sure she wouldn't stick out. Lust smiled to the young homunculous.

"Remember what time I said to be back," Lust said, finding her tone to be more like a mother's. She seemed to get it when she would be around Angel more. It seemed to be subconscious to Lust to want to protect Angel.

Angel nodded to Lust. "I'll remember."

Lust smiled softly. "If anything happens, do you remember the number to this mansion?"

Angel nodded, reciting it without fault. This made Lust smile a little more.

"Just be careful, Angel. I'd hate to quote Envy, but we can't have you getting hurt, can we?"

Andi nodded, feeling some sharp emotion hit her chest. Something deep inside her told her Envy only says that because he had to. When Lust says something like that to her, Angel could hear the caring tone. But doesn't Envy or Greed like her?

"I'll be back, Lust," Angel said as she flashed a sincere smile to the female homunculous and headed for the door, walking out of it.

She looked both ways before heading down the sidewalk toward Central City with the intention of going into the heart of the city. She wanted to see people go about their daily lives. She wanted to see the city's library. Angel gripped the edge of her jacket, pulling it tightly down her torso.

I hope I see him again, Angel thought as she saw the edge of the city grow closer into view.
