Disclaimer: I do not owe FMA or BBI

Chapter 7

"Yes, he IS your brother. Now Al, let him go"

"He's a HOMUNCULUS! He's NOT my brother! He's just a cheap imitation!" Al snapped angrily, never noticing the slight flinch Pride made. Izumi noticed and shook her head slowly.

"I'm very well aware that he's one of the homunculi. I've known for awhile now. I also know that he isn't to blame for his condition" she glared at Mustang and the others. Seeing Al's sudden shock, Pride saw his chance and brought up his knees between himself and Al, and pushed Al of him. Then he bolted over to where the soldiers had cornered Envy and knocked them over, so that the green haired sin could get away. Then he scrambled over to Izumi and hugged her, burying his face I her stomach as his legs gave away. Envy had followed and now he were right beside Izumi. Soft sobs could be heard through the silence.

"T-teacher!" Al exclaimed in disbelief. He couldn't believe his eyes; his teacher hugged one of the monsters! And not just anyone of them, but the one that she claimed was his brother!

"Alphonse Elric! Will you be quiet!?" Izumi barked at him, silencing him immediately. Everyone stared at Izumi and Pride, not really sure what to think or make out of it.

"Pride, are you okay?" she asked gently. The young sin looked up with teary eyes and nodded slightly, as if he wasn't sure. "That's fine. Now to you" she said looking at Envy, but also glancing at Al. Envy looked at Izumi his hand resting on his hip. "Envy, I want you to take Pride and go home. Don't worry about your fruits, you can send 'her' later to pick it up" Envy nodded and took Pride into his arms. When he did Mustang snapped out of his semi shcoked state.

"I can't allow that those creatures are free to go. They are to be destroyed as they are seen" he exclaimed, putting his fingers in a snapping position. Envy who had turned his back towards them, turned his head slightly. His eyes were cold and hard.

"I warn you, you bastard shit of human trash. If you do anything like that to Pride, I'll kill everyone you ever cared for" Envy said smoothly, his voice full of malice. "Oh and before you do something increadably stupid...Look into your own military if you want to know what happened to Ed" and by that he ran of with Pride in high speed. Izumi looked after them until they disappeared out of sight., then she sighed with a content smile, laced with content, and went to gather the bag of fallen fruits. Hawkeye approached her together with Hughes, both of them wore a similar look upon their faces.

"Why did you let those creatures go? And why do you care so much of those monsters?" Hughes asked. Izumi didn't look up as she picked up the fruits.

"I let them go, because they haven't done anything wrong. They're-"

"Haven't done anything wrong?! They've killed many people. Pride's killed at least 10 men working for the military, and Envy's killed countless of innocent humans!" Mustang growled.

"That may be, but Pride haven't killed without a reason. He's just out for justice. Are you aware of how much torment he went through before he became what he is today?" Izumi asked. Everyone remained silent, as they all noticed the seriousness and hidden pain in her eyes. "No? I didn't think so"

"But I thought that the homunculi... I mean when we tried to-" Al broke off, but he didn't have to finish that sentence. Everyone knew what he reffered to; the night they had tried to bring back their mother. "I thought you only coould do it, with the right basic makeup of the human body" he finished.

"Well, in most cases that is very much true, but Pride is different..."

"Just what exactly do you mean?" Hughes asked curiously/serious.

"He never died. He was turned into a homunculus when his body was still alive, right after they had made him into a chimera. They didn't even finish him" Everyone stared at her perplexed.

"Then how come that you help them?" Mustang asked pissed.

"All I'll say is that one night Envy showed up at my doorstep. First I was about to kick his ass, but then I noticed that he had Pride in his arms. Let's just say that Pride was in a pretty bad shape and since he wasn't finished he wasn't about to make it. I helped Envy to finish him, since neither of us wanted him to die. AND I care about Prie, and since he likes Envy I care about him as well, despite everything. That's all I have to say to you. Good night!" she said as she went inside her house and slammed the door shut.

The city soldiers looked confused at the scene. Of course they had no idea what was going on since they weren't in Mustang's group. They knew of Izumi and her temper, as well as the Elrics. They didn't understand why the fight had started at all, so they decided to be wise and leave it be. They saluted before leaving Mustang's group on the street. No one spoke up for a couple of minutes, and it was Hughes who broke the silence.

"So, what now?" Mustang glanced towards Izumi's house.

"I want someone to surveil Mrs. Curtis' house. Mrs. Curtis said something to Envy about sending "her" to get their things. I want to know who and where this person goes afterwards. Perhaps she'll lead us to their lair"

"But sir, what about what Mrs Curtis said about Pride? And what Envy said about Ed?" Hawkeye asked. mustang looked at her with serious eyes.

"Let me get this straight, I am not sure if their stories. I do doubt that Mrs Curtis would lie about her story, but I do however not doubt that Envy would. He could have come up with what he told ehr and us. So I wouldn't have to much hope to find Fullmetal-"

"WHAT?!" everyone exclaimed, but silenced as Roy put a hand up to do exactly that.

"But I'll look into out military just in case" he then turned to Al. "Al, I don't want you to go after Pride by yourself. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes sir. But why?" Al replied.

"Al, he is dangerous, no matter who he looks like. By what I've been able to tell by the two times we've met him, he's very hostile towards us. I don't want yout o get hurt by that creature, and then face your brother's wrath when we find him" and by that he ended the conversation. A soldier were ordered to stay and surveil Mrs Curtis' house, while the others went to a hotel to sleep and take care of their wounds.
