So @madameschristmas, this is for you. Please don’t hate me, but this quite dark.

********Riza Hawkeye held her gun high and a torch in her other hand. She could feel the dampness in the air and her nostrils were full of the stench of death. Good things never happened in this place. She had not been in the underground tunnels since the Promised Day. She had not missed them. Her heart thumped against her chest as she followed Hayate.“Find him, boy. Find General Mustang.”They had separated into three pairs to comb the tunnels in search of their missing superior officer: Havoc and Breda, Fuery and Falman, and Riza and Hayate.

The first time that she realised that there was something wrong was when her superior officer never came back from lunch. She ignored the nervous ache in her stomach until the clock struck 14:00 hours and she discovered the remains of a burnt note in the trash can. Roy Mustang had gone and done something stupid again, and she was going to rescue him as usual. A group of alchemists had shown interest in learning the secret of Flame alchemy and it was highly likely they were the ones that captured him.

Hayate barked up ahead, and Riza had to run to catch up with him. Her dog was sniffing at the ground and with horror Riza realised there was a pool of dried blood on the ground. She gasped, her hand went to her mouth.No, no, this was good. This meant that they were on the right track. Hayate tilted his head and looked up at her.“Good boy,” she assured him. “Go get him!” Terrified of what she was going to find up ahead, she followed Hayate. There were droplets of dried blood every few metres. She had known he was injured; the little girl they found with the General’s coat outside the entrance was proof of that.The child had been used as a bargaining tool and their superior officer had handed himself over in exchange for the child’s safety. The tracker Riza placed in the General’s coat that morning had proofed useful, but not as helpful as it might have been.

Everywhere she looked, the walls were the same. The only reason that she wasn’t going around in circles was Hayate’s nose.Riza turned the corner and the tunnel opened up into a wider area. Hayate started to bark and Riza gasped at what she saw. Roy was lying there is a pool of his own blood, so much of it that she could not even tell where he was injured. The smell of smoke was in the air and the remains of ashes on the floor around him indicated that he had recently been using his flame alchemy. There was a crumpled heap in a corner and Riza stiffened. At first glance she had assumed that it was a man, but the tail peaking out from his pants told her otherwise: a chimera.“It’s ok, he’s dead,” Roy whispered.“General!” She rushed over to him and knelt down next to him, “You’re hurt.” “Ha – I’m dying, Lieutenant.” There was a bubble of blood at the side of his mouth and his face was chalky white. Riza swallowed a lump, she couldn’t cry. She was going to get him out of here.“Don’t be stupid, you’re too stubborn to die.” She clicked her tongue, “Hayate go get Fuery and the rest of the men. Bring them here.”Hayate barked in response and fled the room.“Where are you hurt?” She reached to check his body for the source of the crimson liquid.He caught her hand, “I’m sorry, Lieutenant, I was able to hold them off for now, but more will come.”“It doesn’t matter, we will take care of them. The rest of the team is on the way and we’ve called for back up.” She pulled her hand from his, “Where are injured?”“Listen, Riza-” He coughed and the blood spattered her uniform. She pulled a handkerchief from her coat pocket and wiped at his mouth, “Roy, just stop talking, you need to conserve your energy.”“It’s too late.” He shook his head, “Riza, when the men come, you’re going with them.”“I’m not leaving you here to die. Roy, I am not going anywhere without you.”She looked away from him and concentrated instead on locating his injury. She carefully opened his blood soaked shirt. Seeing no visible injury there, she reached behind his back. He grunted in pain as her fingers connected with bone that was protruding from a gaping wound in his skin, “You know the men won’t leave me behind without your permission. You’re the next in command.”She took off her coat and pulled him up as gently as she could, “I’ve gone up against Homunculi, do you really think alchemists and chimeras scare me?”She placed the coat behind him to put pressure against the injury.“I’m not going to make it out of here, you have to accept it. You know what it means to make the hard decisions. You’re the only one I trust to do this”“Stop talking that way, General.” She finally let her eyes meet his again.“You’re letting your emotions rule you.” He started to cough up blood again, “You’re listening to your heart instead of your head. There’s one thing worse than me bleeding out, it’s them finding you and the secrets to flame alchemy.”The sound of gun fire caused both of them to freeze. The men had obviously found Roy’s captors.Roy grabbed both of her hands, his eyes wide, “Put a gun to my temple if you have to. Just don’t let them find you.”“Shut up! I won’t abandon you.”A familiar bark rent the air and Hayate entered followed by Fuery, Falman, Havoc and Breda.Havoc was the first to speak, “Shit, boss.”“Come on, help me get him out of here.” She nodded at Breda and Falman, who immediately helped pick up their superior. “Fuery, run ahead and radio for medical attention. Take Hayate with you.”“Yes, sir.” Havoc, you take the back, and I’ll take point.”The General was beginning to look paler if that was possible. “I swear Riza, if I get out here, I will be court-martialling you. Actually, I’ll court martial all of you.”“No offence, sir, but right now Hawkeye is more terrifying,” Jean replied. “I’d suggest that you save your energy.”

Several hours later, an exhausted but relieved Riza sat by the General’s bedside. She had rebuffed all the nurses’ attempted to get her to go home and have a good night’s sleep. She wanted to be there when he woke. By the time, they had escaped the tunnel, Roy had lost consciousness. Riza reflected on how lucky they were in finding him when they did. The doctors had said that had they been much later the General would have died. When Roy finally opened his eyes, Riza was starting to dose. She sat up straight in the chair and moved it closer to the bed, “You took your time waking up.”“I was sure I was going to die.”“It seems like I know you better than you know yourself, sir.”“I’m sorry.” He squeezed his eyes shut and inhaled deeply. “I was being selfish by asking you to leave me behind.”He opened them, perhaps expecting to see anger. There was none.She shrugged, “Maybe, I was being selfish too, I couldn’t bear to go on without you even if it was risk that the secrets to your alchemy would be discovered.”“We’re both fools then,” he said with a small smile.A tear escaped her eye and worked its way down her cheek. “Do you forgive me?” “Can you ever forgive me?”They didn’t need to say anymore.
