Second life

Retreat

~Ed's pov

I saw Winry on the other side of the frame. She had her hand up like he was about to knock.
She froze once she saw what she had done.

I don't think she knew what to do. She just stood their. She looked sort of frightened.

" Uh, uh I can explain?" I said unsure of what to actually say.

She stepped back.
" Put the door down" she said sounding scared.

I put the door down on the floor.
" Listen Winry" I said.

" What happened?" she asked as she stepped back again. She had her hands on front of her as if to block me.

" I don't know" I answered.

" Fury said you were, different. She told me what happened in the kitchen" she breathed in.
" I'm fine with it" she said.

" But I think you have elevated strength" said a family voice from down the hall.

Fury came out from the shadows.
" You feeling ok?" she asked.

I nodded.
" But I feel..." I couldn't find the words.

" Stronger?" she finished.

" Yeah" I agreed.

Fury held her chin in deep thought.
" I wonder" she pointed to me.
" Try and pick Winry up" she said.

" What?" me and Winry said at the same time.

" I'm meant to be strong right? What if I hurt her?" I asked worried.

" I will not let you" she simply said.

I turned to Winry who nodded.

I picked her up bridal style. With ease. I nearly tossed her upwards she was so light.
" You're so light!" I said amazed at her.

" Do you think you could pick me up?" Fury asked.

I gently put Winry down.
" No, you are a shape shifter. You weight a ton!" he said.

She smiled.
" Ok Shorty".

I stormed over to her.
" What did you say to me?!" I asked getting in her face.

" I called you a shorty ya shrimp!" she shouted in my face.

I jumped her by the collar. Then lifted her up. " Call me that again I dare you!" I shouted.

Fury smiled.
" What are you doing at the moment".

I took a quick look around.

" Still haven't gotten it yet? You're lifting me above your head. Something you said that you couldn't do. Now do you want to doubt your strenght?" she asked smugly.

I froze. Then dropped her.

She landed on her feet.

i could lift her with ease. I looked down on my hands. How strong was i?.

~Fury's pov

Edward dropped me. I landed perfectly.

He looked at his hands.

"Come on" I said as I took him by the back of his collar and started to drag him downstairs.

" Hey! What are you doing?" he asked struggling.

I threw his over my shoulder.
" Outside" I said.

I walked past the kitchen and saw that the guys from the military were gawking with their mouths open at me carrying a struggling Edward.
