Apparently the guy with the black hair's name was Roy Mustang. Roy dragged me to a room and cuffed my hands to the chair. He sat in front of me along with Ed.
"How did you get passed security?!" Roy asked staring at me with a glare just as scary as Envy's, and that's scary.
"How were you able to transmute without clapping your hands?!" Ed asked as he thought for a moment then his eyes widen. "Do you have a philosopher stone?!"
I shook my head no." I'm not saying anything until I talk to King Bradley." I would've crossed my arms but couldn't since I was cuffed to the chair.
"You will answer my questions regardless if King Bradley is here!" Mustang said slamming his fist into to table.
I thought to myself,' I wonder what it's like being the dog of the military...hmmm...maybe if I cooperate then I can join.'
I sigh and look at them. "Your security sucks. I dug a hole through the gate then just kept my eye open for soldiers. It was easy." I lied. The homoncilus would have my head if I told them about their hideout.
Mustang took offense to that and put his face close to mine.
"Listen here punk. I don't know who you are but you're on thin ice."
"What about my question?!" Ed yelled and started rampaging.
I stare at Ed and sigh again, "of course I don't have a philosopher stone. I don't use alchemy. I use something called...." I had to think of a lie when it hit me." Alchihistory. It's a type of alchemy used in Xing. Very useful." There, it was perfect. Nobody in Central knew what alchihistory was, so nobody will know I am lying.
It took awhile before Ed nodded. I see... You seem like a person to ask so do you know anything about the philosopher stone?"
"....no. No clue. All I know is that it's a stone that had ultimate power." I lied. Again they would have my head if they knew I told him about the philosopher stone.
"Oh..." Ed said looking down. Mustang watched us then got out of my face.
I heard a knock on the door and silently begged for it to be Wrath.
I guess my luck is fairly good today since it was Wrath. I sunk into my chair. He was going to lecture me big time.
"Führer Bradley." Both Mustang and Ed said as they saluted him.
"Good afternoon." Führer said then looked at me and frowned. "So you let this vermin into headquarters?" He let out a sigh then looks down." You two go outside. Let me talk to her by myself. "
They actually left the room without saying a word. Wrath made sure the door was closed.
"You've really gotten yourself into trouble this time. How could you be so careless?" He said just loud enough got me to hear.
"I know I know." I said shamefully, not looking him in the eye.
"Father knows about this. He said he's ashamed to have raised you and doesn't want you back...so I'll let you stay here as a State Alchemist." He said looking at me.
My eyes widen. I opened my mouth to say something but closed it soon after. Talking back to Wrath is a wrong move. He'd kill you without second thought. I nodded and closes my eyes.
"Good. I'll take your fight with Fullmetal as examination test. Tell Fullmetal he's in charge of you for now." He said saying the last part with a smirk.
I sighed and nodded. 'Think on the bright side. You won't be killed and you'll end up working with a cutie.' I thought to myself.
The Führer stood up and walked out without saying goodbye to me. How rude.
Mustang and came back in.
"Well what happened?" Mustang asked sitting down in front of me.
"The pipsqueak over there has to watch over me. He said he liked my fighting and needed someone like me as a State Alchemist."
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SMALL YOU CANT SEE UNDER A MICROSCOPE!?!" Ed yelled, pulling my hair and practically ripping it out.
"Ow! What the hell?! I called you a pipsqueak cause it's true!" I snapped back.
Mustang ignored our bickering. "How do I know your not lying to me? As far as I know you could be a mass murderer."
'Your the one to talk. I know what you did in the Ishballen war.' I thought to myself.
My wrist had become red from the tightness of the cuffs so I just stared at the cuffs and there was a small click as the cuffs released me from its grasp.
The two all stared at me in shock.
"How did you...?" Mustang started asking looking dumb found.
"Umm....I can manipulate metals, besides 100% steal. I could've escaped whenever I wanted to but I didn't since I'm so nice." I said rubbing my wrist. "So when are you gonna give me my pocket watch and name"
