Flamed Out (Roy Mustang X Oc)

Chapter 41 (edited)

(Roy's POV) (promised day) (central)

"The Armstrong mansion?" Charlie asked.

We sat by a staircase that was hidden from the crossfire between us and the Central forces.

"Yeah. We used renovation trucks to sneak everyone in and hid the entire battalion in there." I explained how we managed to get Armstrong's men in.

"Are you serious? Just how big is this mansion?"

"Charlie!" Just then we were interrupted by one of Charlie's rebel men.

He ran up to us, his hand held out. "I need more ammo."

Charlie looked at him. "I hate to say it, but I'm out too."

"What do we now?" He rubbed his head. "Where the hell is that supply unit? You think they were captured?"

I watched as Hawkeye ran up behind him.

Damn. I don't want anyone else getting killed if things get too messy. No one else should have to die.

"Listen guys," They turned to me. "If it comes down to it just leave me behind."

"Roger that." They both spoke.

What?! They'd just do that? I was shocked.

I frowned. "You could at least pretend you're willing to die by my side." I was utterly offended.

"I'm fighting to live, not die." Charlie argued back.

"I'd rather die by my WIFES side." The other man explained.

I smiled and hummed. At least they're honest.

"Ya, me too." I said turning and snapping alchemy towards the building behind us. I watched as it exploded, I could hear screams coming from inside.

They'd been watching us for a while.

Just then I heard the sound of swerving tires.

I heard a car door open and-

"Yoo-hoo Riza!"

I looked at Hawkeye.

"It's about time Rebecca." Hawkeye scolded her.

Ahhhh...... Rebecca..... I shook my head. Grumman couldn't have found someone else? I was relieved that she finally arrived though.

"I know, sorry. But I think you'll find it was worth the wait."

I stood up and looked at the truck.

An ice cream truck?

The rest of our squadron regrouped.

"I've got all sorts of goodies."

I watched as the side of the truck opened, revealing tons of reinforcements.

I stood beside the rest of the men as they gasped and woah'd in awe.

I walked up the stairs, looking at everything that was in there.
