sorry it's been a while and the chap is so short. gotta do a plateau before a climax i'm afraid and this is it. next chap will be better.

Riza stared dumbfounded at the baby on the floor. She had seen him change and knew who it was but just couldn't believe it was happening. Had her superior really turned into a baby before her very eyes? She crawled over to him and picked him up, cradling him in her arms as he wailed. Riza shushed him as best she could since she was not good with babies. He finally stopped crying and looked at her, seeming to stop instantly when he looked into her eyes.

"There, there, Roy…" she said a little stiffly due to her lack of childrearing. "Don't worry, sir, we'll get you out of here and back to normal."

Roy looked at her with deep intent within those black eyes of his when the door opened and someone threw another person into the cell.

"Meditate on yourself." Someone cackled as the door slammed.

Riza looked over at the person as they cursed loudly and got off the floor.

"Are you alright? You're not hurt are you?" she asked.

"No, but I think they did something to me…"

The person sounded very familiar and when they turned around, Riza gasped.

"Edward?"

"Yeah?"

"My god… What did they do to you?"

"Not sure. They injected me with something though… Why? What's wrong with me?"

"You're older."

"Older? As in- WHAT?!" he screamed, touching his face.

"Quiet!" she hissed. "You'll start up the colonel again."

"The colonel? What do you mean; where is he?"

"Here."

Edward looked over and saw Riza holding a baby.

"Th- that- that's Mustang?"

"Yeah… We didn't make it in time."

"No way… This can't be happening… Wait. What do I look like?"

"Nothing too bad, just an older version of yourself. Almost the colonel's age or so… Maybe more?"

Edward stared at her for a second.

"Well, which one is it?!"

"Er, well… I can't really tell in the dim lights… Truly, Edward, I'd say between the colonel's age or early 50s?"

Edward panicked and looked around for a way to look at himself.

"I need to see!"

"I didn't take you for vain…" Riza mumbled.

Edward looked around and then clapped his hands, making his automail into a shinier alloy. When he looked into it, he screamed, which made the colonel get riled up.

"NO! I look just like him! I look like that bastard! God dammit!"

"Edward, get a hold of yourself. You're upsetting the Colonel!"

"I have to get it off… I can't look like him… Why, why?!" he said, getting super depressed and pulling his knees into himself.

Riza glared at him.

"Ed, if you're going to grow mushrooms in the corner then I'll forget all about you and try to escape with the Colonel myself."

She sighed and stood up to bounce Roy up and down in her arms to get him to be quiet.

"It's alright, sir, it's just Edward overreacting…"

"You would too if you looked like this!"

"Pipe down, will ya? You're annoying me."

The two looked over to see a young man in a black middrift shirt and skort with black spider like hair and a headband.

"Who are you?" Edward asked.

"None of your business, Grandpa." Edward went back to his corner in shame. "Lady, give me the kid."

"No. What do you want with him? He hasn't done anything to deserve any of this."

"He's done enough to catch our attention." He walked in and Riza reached for her gun but it wasn't there. "Did you really think we'd leave your weapons with you?" he said with a cocky grin.

He kneed Riza in the stomach, grabbing Roy as he began to cry and Riza doubled over to the ground. Edward went to come at him but the guy just punched him in the face.

"You can't get near us, Grandpa. Your old bones aren't what they used to be." He said with a laugh.

He began to walk out and Edward, wiped his mouth.

"Hey, Palm Tree!" The man stopped. "I bet you I'm a lot better than you think I am. What's your name so I know who I'm looking for when I kick your ass."

"Ooh, you're a sassy one… The name's Envy. If you can actually get that decrepit body to actually kick my ass then I'll be fooled."

He slammed the cell door closed and Edward went over to Riza.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine…" He helped her stand up straight. "Edward, we have to get the Colonel back and get away from his place. I fear what they'll do to him. If they've gone this far just to get him into this position, think of what they'll do now that he's defenseless."

Edward narrowed his eyes at the door to the cell. He vowed he'd get out and save the Colonel, no matter what…

"Oh my god, this kid won't stop screaming." Envy growled.

"Well maybe if you held him right, he wouldn't get so scared." The buxom black haired beauty said, crossing her gloved arms.

Envy tsked and looked at the dangling Colonel as he held him by the ankle. He was crying his eyes out, both confused and angry at the treatment. Of course, he didn't really know he was mad but it wasn't pleasant and felt all wrong.

"Why should I treat him any better than what he'd treat us?"

"Envy, please shut that thing up before I run it through." The woman said with an annoyed sigh.

Envy blinked his purple eyes at the woman and then gave out a laugh.

"Wow, Lust, I didn't think you hated babies that much."

"I just hate this one. I'm not kidding."

Envy laughed again and righted Roy up and began to shake him.

"Yo! Shut up!"

Roy stopped crying and Envy smiled, looking at him.

"He's pretty obedient."

"You keep trying to kill him, Envy." Lust growled. "We can't use him if he's dead."

"You're the one who threatened to run him through."

Lust just sighed as Envy looked down at Roy and turned his head at him.

"You're pretty ugly, you know that?" he said, wiggling his finger in front of him.

Roy grabbed his finger and stuck it in his mouth and bit it.

"Yow! Why you little-"

the mushrooms was an homage to tamaki from ouran, since edward is played by vic minogna as is tamaki. we also all know who that 'bastard' is that ed hates. and i don't condone shaking babies but you know how the homunculus are about humans in general. i was actually going to have him slam him against something but i thought that too harsh...
