The Unforgivable Sin

"First things first." I said as I took off my gloves and my boots.

"Al isn't the only one with things missing. " The group stared at my automail.

"What is that?" Ron asked.

I was surprised they haven't seen it before, it's really common in Amestris.

"It's called automail. They use it to replace missing limbs, by attaching the nerve to the metal." I said wiggling my fingers and toes, to prove they did function.

The doctor said, "I've never seen anything quite like this."

I smirked and said, "The next thing you need to know is that we are alchemists."

"As I could tell by your reactions earlier, you never seen alchemy performed before."

I walked over and picked up a rock. "Alchemy is a science based in where an alchemist, such as myself, can deconstruct objects and reconstructed them into something new, but it must maintain the same qualities and weight, according to The laws of Equivalent Exchange."

I looked at them, they looked pretty confused.

I sighed and said, "The basic concept is if, I had let say this rock, I draw a transmutation circle with an intact matrix, press my hands against the ground and..."

I clapped my hands together.

I placed them on the ground and sparks flew from my hands.

When the dust cleared, the stone had turned into a little stone gryphon.

I looked up and said, "See simple, once you know the science behind it."

Kim picked up the statue, flipping around and looking at the designs.

She looked at me said, "But you didn't draw anything. By what you just told us, you shouldn't be able to do that. It goes against your own rules. So tell me how did you do that?"

Dammit! She's smarter that she looked.

I sighed.

God, I knew this was coming, no matter how long I try to delay it.

I looked down at the burnt marks in the floor and said, "That's because me and Al did something, and it gave us this ability. We don't need a matrix because our bodies are the matrix's."

The doctor spoke up next, "Well, what ever you did, it must have been worth it to atain such a power as this. I mean..."

I turned around and looked at him in fury, and yelled, "No, you idiot! It wasn't worth it."

I said taking off my red coat, revealing more of my automail arm.

I took a deep breath in and said, "There is only one thing you are never suppose to do in alchemy. An alchemist only unforgivable sin..."

"We attempted human transmutation."

"So basically, what you're telling us is that you attempted to bring someone back to life." Green Lantern reasoned.

"Yes." They nodded.
