Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ The Butterfly Alchemist ❯ Phone Calls ( Chapter 1 )

 

Edward and Alphonse Elric starred at the door. They heard their commanding officer, Roy Mustang, yelling. The door opened and the boys were staring the Riza Hawkeye, the blonde sharpshooter.

 

“You might as well come on in boys.”

 

“Are you sure it's safe?”

 

“Yes, Alphonse, but you might get volunteered and she'll want to talk to you.”

 

Ed and Al looked at each other. They were a bit confused. What were they being volunteered for and who would want to talk to them? The Fullmetal Alchemist and his younger brother walked in the Colonel's office.

 

The Flame Alchemist would clearly snap his fingers and shoot flames at the person on the other end of the phone if he could. Everyone in the room was silent and hanging on every world of the only half of the conversation that they could hear.

 

“No you listen to me, sister! She can not come here now! …….. Have you not been reading the newspapers? We have a killer on the loose that is using alchemy! ... I know she's very good alchemist….. Gwenivere, listen to me. My niece is NOT coming here!”

 

Ed looked at Riza.

 

“What's going on, Hawkeye?”

 

“Roy's older sister, Gwenivere, wants to send her daughter out here to the east capital because the girl apparently has done something Gwen doesn't like.”

 

“What do you think we're going to be volunteered to do?”

 

“Roy has found out that someone here in the city has information on the homunculi. So you and Al are probably going to have to go out and track down that person and find out what they know.”

 

Roy slammed down the phone. He looked around at his office. His sister had really pushed his buttons. Not that he didn't love his niece, but they had a killer on the loose and he didn't want to think about what might happen to her if he let her come out here. Suddenly he spotted the short, long blond haired alchemist and his tin can brother. They gave him an idea.

 

“Yeah, that might work. And it might just make my sister happy.”

 

Roy picked up the phone and asked the operator to patch him through to the Ice Alchemist's house. As he waited he smiled at the Elric brothers. The brothers knew that smile very well; it usually meant that the colonel was up to no good.

 

“Brother?”

 

“Yeah, Al.”

 

“What do you think his going to do?”

 

“I don't know. But it can't be to good, judging by the look on this face.”

 

“Hello? Yes, sister, it's me. I have an offer for you….. Yes she can some on out….”

 

Everyone's mouths dropped. None of them thought that Roy would give up on his stand that his niece would not be able to come out here.

 

“… Yes, I mean it……but there's a catch….. she will be accompanied by at lest one state alchemist at all times….no not me…..I've got paperwork to do… no but I have the perfect volunteer…yes, I think that she'll get along with him….who?.....why the Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric, of course.”
