I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or Brotherhood. But there will be some direct lines from the story.
This story deals with a gender-swapped Ed.
And please feel free to comment and or give suggestions
I felt funny, 'what happened?' Right the laboratory, Slicer, those two weirdos at the end. Wait what happened to Al. Al! I through myself awake. I was alone in a hospital. Where was Al? Where was I? The door opened and Sergeant Brosh came into view.
"Mr Edward?" He came into the room fully Ross followed him in. "Or should we call you Ms Elric?" He continued. I gulped
"I can explain." I told them my story about why I was doing this, they seamed to except it.
"On the plus side it's great to see you awake." Brosh said.
"Where am I?" I asked the two of them, I knew hospital but I wanted to know where.
"This is a hospital of a friend of mine. We thought that it wouldn't be a good idea to place you in a military hospital, as we would be questioned a bit." Ross said I tried to sit up and stitches pulled at my sides
"Ah crap that hurts." I keep going I wanted to sit up. Ross helped and moved the bed up to meet me so I could lean back on it. "And I was so close to finding the truth." I started scratching at the stitches in my forehead. "There isn't time for me to be hospitalized." I ripped the iv out, then I tried to get out of the bed. When Ross and Brosh started talking at the same time.
"Fullmetal Alchemist Sir! Please excuse us for what we are about to do next!" What?
Ross slapped me, that was unexpected.
"Major Armstrong told you so many times not to act on your own, but then you two did it anyway!" She was scolding me "Even when he told you to stay at the inn patiently, because it was dangerous! And on top of ignoring the Major's kindness, you almost died?!" She took a breath "First recognize the fact that you're still a child, next don't try to do everyone by yourselves, please trust the people around you can't you put a little more faith in us adults?" They clicked their heels together and then said at the same time again.
"Please forgive us for our violent actions and words un-befitting that of officers of lower rank!"What? I started hurting again maybe I shouldn't have ripped out the iv.
"No... I'm the one... Who is at fault." I said I grabbed the stitches at my stomach.
"And the punishment for the slap?"
"No, no I won't do anything." They looked really relived. I told them to relax and that I wasn't in the military to pull rank on people, and that they didn't have to speak formally to me either. It didn't take long for them to get over that. "Hey how did you find out that I was a girl?" I asked
"Um.. That was kinda my fault, after you were dragged out of the building I grabbed you to carry you to a hospital, and I uh grabbed under your arms and felt your boobs." Brosh said. I laughed at how uncomfortable he was with the situation. Laughing was a bad idea, it pulled at my stitches and hurt my ribs. I looked around the room, usually when I was hurt Al came to check on me but he wasn't here.
"Where's Al?" I asked
"I hit Alphonse earlier and gave him the same lecture. Thanks to that my hand ended up like this." He showed me his hand, it was red and was swelling
"He's pretty hard!" I started laughing again. "Owowowow, ahahahaha." I leaned farther forward on my bed when my right arm dragged on the bed I remembered my broken arm. "There is still one more thing I'm going to have to deal with and it's going to involve a massive amount of screaming." I tried to get out of the bed more but they stopped me.
"We should probably get a nurse or something if you want to leave." Ross said and she left to go get one.
"What are you going to do?"
"I have to call my automail mechanic and get my arm fixed." Ross and a nurse walked in.
"It's nice to see you awake sweetie. Ms Elric right?" She was an older woman with greying hair, probably a grandmother.
"It's Edelle, Ed for short." I corrected her.
"Okay Ed, how are things feeling?"
"Fine I guess, I hurt all over, but fine." I told her
"Probably because you took the iv out." She scolded me. She put my right arm in a sling, the strap hurt the stitches in my shoulder but I dealt with it.
"I have to call someone is there a phone in this hospital that I could use?" I asked
"Yes in the lobby, but you have to use a wheelchair to get there."
"Sure." I said no intention to do so. When she left the room I stood up and started walking for the door. 'Man I hurt everywhere.' Ross blocked the door and pushed me down. 'Way to kick a man when he's down.' I was sure I was going to hit the floor but instead I landed in a chair. Brosh started pushing me out the door and down the hall. When we got to the phone I dialled the Rockbells number.
"Hey Winston it's me."
"Ed it's rare for you to call us." He told me
"Uh actually it's hard to say, but can you come out here to do some maintenance work?" I asked
"Come over Edelle are you okay?" He asked he sounded concerned
"Yeah you see my right arm broke and there's a little reason why I can't go over there now. Can you come to central?" I asked my voice was a little shaky.
"Broken? How? Ed are you okay?" He re-asked
"My fingers are moving but the arm wont move at all. It feels like my shoulders gone out of whack." I told him. He mumbled something something about knowing that it was broken. It was about time that the yelling started. He scolded me for being in that fight and how I got hurt.
"Where are you in central?" He asked me after he was done yelling
"What? You are coming down?" I couldn't believe him.
"It can't be helped, now where should I go?"
"Okay I'll fill you in on the details when I call again." I told him
"Okay fine be there soon." He said and hung up the phone.
"Calling your boyfriend." Brosh said behind me asking me jump. I felt my stitches rip. They patched me up fairly quickly and Brosh was wheeling me back down to the room.
"He's just my mechanic"
"Oh that's no fun." He tried talking about himself when he was my age when I was wheeled past a dark hallway. I saw Al sitting down there.
"Al! What are you doing in the corner?" He was ignoring me. "Al!" I screamed a little louder. He moved his head turned to me. "Don't stay over there. Why don't you come over to my room?" I asked him. He didn't answer me. "Never mind I'll go on ahead." I said so maybe he does hate me.
