Augh! I'm so sorry you guys! I've been dead for way too long! I doubt that there's anyone left watching my work. Oh well. This crossover was a joy to write, since Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and Legend Of Korra are my favorite shows right now. I hope you enjoy this story! If anyone reads it...


Winry Rockbell loved Rush Valley. It was a place where she could be understood. A vast paradise of Automail and mechanics, everything she could dream of. She worked at an Automail shop and was quite popular with the people of Rush Valley, constantly getting complimented for her good work. Yet, most of the time, she wasn't completely happy.

Winry was constantly worrying for the Elric Brothers, her life-long childhood friends. They were always rushing off into dangerous places and missions, and coming back to her to fix Edward's automail, which always ended up broken somehow.

Not to mention some of the weird people and situations they brought with them.

Winry had seen some pretty strange things, being the friends of State Alchemists. Yet they never completely told her what they were up to. It always enraged her that Ed and Al would leave her out, but part of her knew it was to protect her.

But there was nothing stranger looking than the woman that was passing by her shop right now.

Winry could only gape as a woman with electric blue eyes, weird green clothes, and hair cut short to her neck, passed by. She seemed to not notice everyone around her. Her face was beaten up, she had a black eye, and a sack slung over her shoulder. Needless to say, she looked awful.

Winry, being the kind heart she really was, couldn't stand around there and let her continue on like that.

"Hey, Miss?" Winry called to the stranger through the open door. The woman stopped and turned. Winry felt uncomfortable under her gaze.

"May I help you?" When she spoke, her voice sounded defeated, broken. Like she had given up on god knows what. Winry bit her lip.

"You look like you could need a friendly face, and help. Please, come in and let me help you." Winry said, placing her wrench down.

The woman looked down for a moment, contemplating. Her eyes fell closed for a second, then reopened and focused on Winry again.

"Alright. I suppose, just this once, a helping hand won't hurt." She walked back to the shop and waited for Winry to move.

The woman set her bag down at the table and waited patiently, hands folded together and gaze down to the ground. Winry rushed around the shop, looking for bandages and something for her to eat. All the while, she snuck glaces at the woman. Something about her was... otherworldly. Like she didn't belong. Like she was different.

"So... how did you get those injuries? Why aren't you getting some help for them?" Winry asked the woman as she found the bandages.

"I got into a fight. And I could heal myself."

Winry walked back over to the woman with the bandages, but she shook her head.

"Those aren't needed. I need water. Can you get me some?" The woman asked.

Winry looked at her, confused. "Water? What's water going to do to help you heal?"

The woman cracked a smirk. "Right. I forgot this world isn't the same as mine. Trust me, water is all I need."

Winry made a face. This world? She shook her head, but got the woman water. She sat in the chair opposite to her and watched the woman, trying to figure this stranger out.

"Name's Korra. You?" Korra asked Winry, picking up the cup of water to look at it.

"Winry. Winry Rockbell. Nice to meet you, Korra." Winry replied, smiling a bit.

Korra looked behind her and leaned in, closer to Winry, with a grin on her face. "Hey Winry, wanna see something cool?" She made some motions with her hands, and the water in the cup began to move, coming up to Korra's face and glowing a bright blue. Winry stared.

"Woah... how can you do that? Is that alchemy too?" Winry asked her, amazed.

Korra laughed. "Not quite. It's called bending. I'm what you would call The Avatar."

Winry tilted her head. "So... waterbending?"

Korra nodded. "Bingo. But you've never seen such a thing, am I right? Figures. I'm not exactly sure where this is, but I'm not supposed to be here. This can't be my world. With the metal limbs that move like flesh ones, and this so called Alchemy, I can tell that this place is somewhere else. And I'm lost right in the middle of it."

Winry gaped. "So that's what you meant by 'not my world'. This might just be the weirdest thing I've seen so far. Even weirder than the things Ed and Al bring around with Ed's broken Automail..."

"Weird? To me, Alchemy is the weird thing. Bending is a normal part if my life. In fact, I am about the most important person of my world. The Avatar is the most powerful bender, holding all four elements in his or her hand. Air, Earth, Fire, and Water are the elements the people of my world can control. But unlike me, they can only bend one element. I have all The current Avatar dies, they are reborn into the next nation. I am just one in a long line... The Avatar came to be 10,000 years ago. My job is to keep balance in my world. But lately, I've been looking for my Avatar Spirit. And that's when I found myself in this place, not a bender in sight, but these Alchemists." Korra admitted, setting the water back in the cup. Her face was looking much better now.

"You healed your face with water? How?" Winry questioned.

"Each element has sub sets. Water has Ice, Healing, and...bloodbending. I don't know how to bloodbend, and I'll never learn. That skill is evil, and can only be done during a full moon. Fire has the sub set of lightning, Earth has metal, lava, mud and sand, and Air has flying." Korra answered thoroughly.

"Okay... I think I understand. But if you are what you say, how'd you get here, in... my world, as you say?" Winry asked suspiciously.

Korra shrugged. "Not a clue. I guess the universe can be strange. Strange things are always happening to the likes of me. Say, while I'm here, do you think you can teach me about Alchemy? Perhaps it has to do with my returning to my world. Something tells me I'm not supposed to be here." She said.

"Uh... I'm a mechanic. I've got about the same amount of knowledge about Alchemy as much as you do. But I'm sure if you find my friends, Edward and Alphonse Elric, they could teach you. They're State Alchemists in the military, so they're about experts." Winry offered.

Korra thought about that. "State Alchemists, you say? I wonder if I should. Where can I find these Edward and Alphonse characters?"

Winry made a face. "Around. They're always traveling. I'm not even sure if you'd be able to find them. Try going to Central first, maybe you can go and find help there. Hey, maybe you can even try to be a State Alchemist!" She said, laughing a bit.

Korra raised an eyebrow. "I'm not sure if I want to be involved in your world's military. Although... I could learn about Alchemy more if I do, right?"

Winry shrugged. "I'm sure you'd get special access to things. I'm not exactly sure. All I do for the Elric brothers nowadays is fix Ed's Automail time and time again. He's always breaking it..." She huffed.

Korra crossed her arms, a small smile on her face. "Maybe I will try to be a State Alchemist. Heck, I might just be accepted. After all, I'm sure they've never seen someone like me before. Maybe I was meant to be here... could I be able to find my Avatar spirit here?"

Winry cleaned up the table they were both sitting at. "Beats me. But if you're going to look for the brothers, I'd advise leaving right away. They can move pretty fast. They're always looking for a Philosopher's stone to get their bodies back while serving in the military at the same time. And I thought my life was busy." She chuckled, picking up her tools again.

Korra nodded. "Thank you for you help, Winry. I did need a friendly face." She stood from her seat and picked up her bag, and slung it over her shoulder once more.

"Well, I better be off then. I should search of these brothers right away. Thanks again for all your help, Winry Rockbell!" Korra waved as she began to walk out of the shop, and down the road once more.

Winry waved back. "Good luck, Avatar Korra!" And with that, she went back to her work.

She saw some pretty strange things indeed.


Korra kept walking until she reached the train station, pulling about some money to pay for a ticket to Central.

"So.. let's see... where to start..." She mumbled to herself as she boarded the train, sitting at the window seat. She had taken a map and was now looking it over, to see where she would start her journey.

The train began to move not long after, and she sat back and relaxed for the time being, folding up the map once more and stuffing it in her bag. She looked out the window at the fast moving landscape, and took a deep breath.

"I'm coming to find you, Edward and Alphonse."


And that's chapter 1! This was surprisingly easy for me to write! Ha! I haven't been this inspired in MONTHS! I feel great! ^^

So on the off chance anyone's actually reading this, I beg of you to review! I want your opinions so I can always make this story better! It's called R&R for a reason!
