sorry that this hasn't been updated in a while!
"Are you going to leave me?" Roy asked as he watched Riza and Edward as they walked out the door.
"Not actually leave you…" Riza said with a roll of her eyes.
"But you will be back, right, Ms. Riza?"
"Of course I will."
"Does Uncle Ed have to go too?"
Edward made a face at the 'uncle' part but put his red cloak on and straightened it out.
"Sorry but we need to get you- Never mind… Yes, I have to go too."
Roy pouted and Riza smiled awkwardly, still trying not to fall for his adorable charm. She knelt to him and rubbed his head.
"Don't worry, Al will be here with you."
"Al's no fun."
"Hey! I'm lots of fun!" Alphonse protested.
"Al, take off your head." Edward said.
"Uncle Ed, no one can take off their head. Even I-" Alphonse took off his helmet and Roy's black eyes widened in wonderment as he ran to the suit of armor. "WOW! How'd you do that?!"
Riza and Edward slipped out the door while Roy was distracted and headed to the car.
As they neared the gate, Riza looked over at Edward.
"Are you ready for this?"
"Yes. You?"
Riza nodded as she drove through the gate and parked in front of the building. They got out and went into the front door like they had in the past but were surprised to find Dr. Striker actually waiting for them.
"Lieutenant Hawkeye and Fullmetal Alchemist; I've been waiting for you ever since I got your call earlier today."
"You were waiting for us? This has to be a first." Edward said, crossing his arms.
"Yes! I've had a wonderful revelation and I needed you to come and see it. It's a much bigger breakthrough than I imagined it would be."
"Dr. Striker, we only came to get the reverse serum for the Colonel. The serums that you have been giving us only make him younger. Now, if you don't cooperate fully and give us the correct serum that we ask for this time, I will have this operation shut down and all funding stopped."
Dr. Striker's smile disappeared and he nodded.
"I understand the severity of the situation. If you will come with me then I will show you what I have found out and then give you a reverse serum. I do apologize that they have not been working for you."
"What a crock." Edward growled as they walked.
"I beg your pardon?" the doctor said, looking back with a confused expression.
"Don't give us that bullshit, Doc, we're not as dumb as you may think we are. You've blatantly given us bad serums. What's your motive here? What do you want with the Colonel?"
Riza rolled her eyes for Edward's tenacity but the doctor just stared at them.
"Are you trying to say that I purposefully gave you bad serums just to make your Colonel younger?"
"Yes. Now, fess up."
"Alright…" The doctor stopped walking as Riza and Edward did too. "You caught me."
Edward and Riza looked at each other as the doctor put his hands on his hips.
"My, you are a smart one." A different voice than the doctor's said, startling the two. "I thought it would be at least one more visit before you figured everything out but I guess I underestimated you both. Oh well, I won't let you get in our way either."
Riza was about to pull out her gun and Edward was about to clap when they both felt two pulses of electricity surge through them and they fell to the floor.
Dr. Striker's face morphed back into Envy's and he looked at the two on the ground.
"Pity we have to take you guys in but you're ruining out plans. Oh well, we can try some things out now…"
He picked them each up with ease and headed deeper into the facility.
Roy was sitting by the window, waiting for Edward and Riza to return from going to the facility. His mind was flickering horribly at the moment, so he had a major headache. He was worried for the safety of his subordinates but also scared for the safety of his 'mother' and 'uncle'. He hated not knowing what he would end up thinking at the end of every thought.
"Colonel?"
"Yes?"
"Oh, I didn't know which one you were… Are you feeling alright?"
"My mind doesn't know what to think anymore… so I have a headache."
"Do you want some medicine?"
"No…"
The door opened and Edward walked in, closing the door behind him.
"Brother! Where's Hawkeye?"
"She had something she had to do at the office really quick but she wants me to go ahead and take Roy over to her apartments. Are you ready to go?"
"I thought you were going to get me a serum?"
"Riza has it with her. Come on…"
Roy was going to go to him but something was off. Edward looked different and was acting strange. Roy didn't trust him.
"I think I'll just wait for Riza to call. I don't think she'll care…"
"What do you mean?"
"I don't want to go with you!" Roy said, backing up.
Alphonse walked over.
"What's going on? Brother, are you bullying him again?"
"No! I just said we needed to go to Hawkeye's because she has the serum there and he won't come along."
"Colonel, it's just Ed; he won't hurt you."
"There's something wrong with him! I don't wanna go!" he said, running to Alphonse's legs.
"Colonel… Sorry, Brother, I don't know why he's being this way."
"It's alright. It must be his mind flickering…" Edward walked over and grabbed Roy's hand, taking him with him. "I'll be back."
He dragged Roy out harshly and when Roy tried to break free of his grasp, a rag was put over his face and he went limp.
Edward woke up and looked around, wondering where he was. He looked up and saw that he was in a small room that looked like it had no doors in it. He was tied up in a chair and he tried to get out but it was no use. He heard the door open and a young man no older than him walked in and watched him for a moment.
"Well, well, if it isn't the Fullmetal Alchemist. I have to say that your brother is kind of stupid."
"What have you done with Al?" Edward growled.
"Nothing much. Let's just say he'll need to… pick up the pieces in order to come and save you."
"What do you want from the Colonel? What do you want with all of us?"
"The Colonel is really all we needed because he is in the way of our victory. He challenges authorities at the most inappropriate times and thus, needs to be eradicated from the equation."
"So you… make him younger?"
"We still need him, but his purpose is for so much later than now. Right now, he is too involved and in the way. We just want to keep him out of the way of our progress. What better way to do that than to make him unable to do anything military-wise as well as make him young enough that we could actually take in and raise with our driving force in mind."
"It'll take a long time." Edward with a smirk.
"I'm aware of that, dummy. You're kind of important too but I want to play around with things." Envy pulled out a syringe and then put it in Edward's arm. "Let's see how you can do anything this way…"
Riza opened her eyes and saw she was in a dungeon of sorts. She sat up and looked around when she heard a small moan and in the opposite direction.
"Roy!" she said, crawling to him as he coughed a little and moaned. "Are you alright?"
"Hawkeye?"
"Yes, it's me." She said, holding him close.
He threw his hand over his eyes.
"My head hurts… I feel strange…"
Riza moved away from him for a second when a bright light engulfed him. He must have been in pain because he began to scream like he hadn't done before. The screams slowly turned into cries and those cries became the undeniable sounds of a baby.
oh no, has the inevitable finally come for our roy mustang? what did envy do to ed? and roy at the top is too adorable even for me haha
