A/N: hey guys! Hope you enjoy this chapter! Just wanted to say I've been having a bad month with some problems at school and junk! Hopefully it doesn't show in my work! This chapter was just a filler and I'm sorry if im neglecting my other stories. I havent felt really motivated to do anything lately but got myself to finish this one. Sorry for grammer errors! :) enjoy and please review~! Thanks for the reviews btw! You guys are the best and you deserve cookies for your reviews xD

Roy yawned into his hand again as he picked up a pen and started to review the documents Havoc had sent him.

"Didn't get enough sleep again?" Havoc asked as the blonde chewed on his cigarette not looking up from his work.

"I had a visitor last night." Roy muttered before signing off a few documents.

"What? You got busy?" Havoc asked finally looking up in surprise. Roy gave him a lazy gaze and rolled his eyes.

"No, you idiot. We went over some of my work. Oh, which reminds me, give this to Hughes and tell him it's a special request." Roy reached over the side of his desk to the special folder he had written down from Hoenheim last night. Havoc got up standing in front of his superior's desk as he stuffed his hands in his pockets. Roy looked over the notes once more before grabbing a pen and jotting down a request on the top for Maes. Once finished he handed it to Havoc who was waiting patiently.

"How do you want me to give it?" Havoc asked expertly looking at Kain and Breda who were currently arguing over a stack of paper work for gate only knows what reason.

"Be discreet." Roy muttered starting to shuffle through his papers again. Havoc nodded saluting with a lazy smirk before he went out to deliver the folder.

Once gone Roy rubbed his face trying to edge the sleep out of his eyes. Hoenheim kept him up while describing in detail about the prophecy. It irked him whenever he thought about the prophecy. While staring at his papers he thought about what Hoenheim had said last night.

"The Prophecy has been passed down over the years becoming more of a fairytale then an actual prophecy. But the reason I want to discuss this is because the one named father has made it clear what his intentions were." Hoenheim lightly made a circle in the glass cup he was holding as Roy took another sip of his own beverage.

"The Prophecy tells of a boy who will become stronger than any man. He will be part human and part demon. This boy will be the end to the human race and will be the one who will be able to open the gate to truth and hold the power of god."

Roy narrowed his eyes putting his glass down while Hoenheim looked up and met Roy's gaze. "I'm assuming Edward is the boy of Prophecy?"

The tension intensified after Roy spoke asking the question Hoenheim knew the answer to. Hoenheim gripped the handle of the cup speaking carefully.

"I don't know. Father believes he is but the boy of Prophecy does not show any of the things Edward shows. Edward is a brilliant young boy and has a kind young heart. With proper guidance Edward could lead our era out of war. Which is what I noticed when I met him. He is curious of the outside world but he isn't scared to try his best to help the people he cares about."

Roy smirked at the words used to describe Edward. Ed was mature for his age, at least somewhat, and Roy could see Edward was shaping into the perfect Alchemist because of Riza's kind heart.

"I can tell Father did not expect Edward to be so human."

"Edward is barely a 4 year old. How else do you expect him to act?" Roy remarked as Hoenheim chuckled lightly.

It fell silent as Hoenheim took another sip and continued with his story. "I read in a very old book that the boy of Prophecy could also hand his power over to another. Of course the boy of Prophecy would have to be forced to. There is only one ritual in order to gain the power of god. That is to spill the blood of the boy of prophecy and activate the seal the boy has on his body."

Roy blinked in surprise. It sounded like an ancient technique people did in order to get the sun to raise.

"All I know is Father is planning to use Edward. If he gains the power of god everyone will be killed. As you know, father doesn't work alone and has been watching Edward since the day he was born." This was news to Roy. Hoenheim nodded understanding Roy's shock.

"I saw the one named Envy and Lust in Dublith. I know where they are hiding but to go in now would be suicide. There should be 7 sins and I only saw 3."

"Hoenheim, you know of my plans to become Fuhrer and end the war with Alchemist's and Ishbal. As long as this father seeks the power of god it would be stupid to let him get close enough to achieve that goal. But I also understand when to run into a battle. For now we would have to wait and attack when the opportunity presents itself." Hoenheim nodded in understanding while raising his hand for Roy to take.

"I know for a fact that Father is waiting for Edward to age before he attempts the ritual. It gives us time to get you to Fuhrer and finding a way to protect Edward correctly and knocking out the 7 sins. Can I count on you to do all you can to stop father?"

Mustang gave a smirk while taking Hoenheim's hand in his own. "We share a common goal, Hoenheim. Father is out to destroy the country I'm trying hard to protect. Can I count on you to be there when the opportunity presents itself?"

Hoenheim shook Roy's hand firmly smiling as he responded. "I wouldn't miss a chance to get my revenge on that evil flask."

Roy came out of his thoughts when the door opened and Hakuro suddenly appeared. Roy jumped shooting a glance at his subordinates who looked just as surprised as he was. He would have to get Havoc who didn't remind him of any meetings. He clicked his heels together and saluted to his superior officer who didn't look all that pleased. Beside Hakuro was a blonde secretary who was blushing and holding a clipboard to her chest. Her large green eyes looked shameful which made Roy slightly curious.

"At ease Colonel, I have important matters to discuss to you." That was cue for Roy's subordinates to leave the room. The two others filed out looking at Roy curiously as the black haired Colonel only sent them a reassuring gaze. Once the door was shut Roy turned his eyes to the secretary.

"What about the young lady?" Roy asked carefully as Hakuro took a seat at the desk and gestured for Roy to join him.

"She is here to record our meeting. There is a certain thing I want to talk to you relax." Roy kept his face hard taking a seat in front of Hakuro.

"It has come to the Fuhrer's attention that fewer Alchemists have been coming into the military. Since you are an Alchemist he wants to ask for your opinion on the matter of having civilians searched." Roy's stomach dropped to his ankles as he swallowed and answered as carefully as he could. One wrong word could set off a chain reaction and get him killed.

"I'm honored to have such a privilege. But I don't think my opinion should matter so much." Hakuro gave a small smile laughing softly.

"Since you are an Alchemist and a very good Alchemist at that the Fuhrer thought it fair to ask you. Don't worry anything you say is classified between me, you and the Fuhrer. We are asking for your opinion." Roy swallowed forcing a small smile.

"If that's so, I don't think they should be searched. It would cause more problems with the public and the military." Roy noticed Hakuros blue eyes darken slightly which told Roy he said something he didn't like. Roy felt anger bubble in his chest and tried to keep himself from snapping at Hakuro.

"Very nice, Colonel, other than that I'd like to ask how the rebellion in Dublith was." The topic was changed and Roy unclenched his fists letting himself relax slightly.

It wasn't an easy task being an Alchemist in the military. Roy had witnessed firsthand how people reacted to the news of another Alchemist joining the military instead of dying. Roy's father was an Alchemist from out in Xing and had sent his wife to Amestris in hopes to escape the racism in Xing as well. Of course now that Roy thought about it Xing was more considerate of Alchemists.

Roy remembered joining the ranks of the military and having to fight his way to the Colonel he was today. It wasn't easy when everyone called him a 'dirty Alchemist'. People believed Alchemist's to be beasts and the race that shouldn't exist. If anything the only who truly understood Alchemist was the people of Ishbal.

Ishbal didn't believe in the power of Alchemists. They were religious people who were treated differently because of their red eyes and tan skin. Roy remembered the war where he was forced to kill them because they were different. It wasn't that long ago when Amestris was at war with the Alchemists who were bold enough to try and live a life with Humans. Roy didn't understand why people didn't like Alchemists.

They were all created the same. They had blood and organs and could bleed if anyone killed them. They lived like humans and died like humans.

Alchemists were always seen as an advanced being who could perform miracles because of the one named truth. Roy hated living his life in fear someone would find out he was an Alchemist. At one point he hated Humans. He hated them for thinking he was scum and not worthy enough to talk to. It all changed when he met Maes Hughes.

Hughes was the first person to help Roy on his feet when he was pushed around by the others in the military academy. Hughes had seen the mark on Roy's hand by accident and hadn't told a soul. Maes was the first to say he would help Roy accomplish his dream in becoming Fuhrer. Little by little Roy had met new people who had kind hearts like Maes. T

hey didn't care who was a Human, an Alchemist or an Ishbalan. They didn't care about race gender or skin color. That was when Roy decided he would change the way the world worked. He wanted to see the kids playing with every race and not care. He didn't want the war to continue or the people to cower away in fear.

He wanted to bring peace and a sense of security to Amestris. He was an idealist but someone had to be in order to start change.

Then he met Riza Hawkeye and Edward Elric.

Ever since he met the pair it was like his life was changed. Edward changed his view of the world. He saw the problems a child wouldn't understand and saw that Edward was in fact the key to helping change the whole world. Riza had been the one to make this all happen.

She served her time in the military and had given up the life of becoming a very famous military war hero for being a mother. She didn't hate the baby she never wanted. She lived for him. Her strength was what made Roy keep striving to try harder. It made Roy test his limits when he practiced his Alchemy.

Riza was an independent young lady and had shown Roy and his men that she only did things her way. Her determination is what inspired Roy to talk to Maes about the things he needed to do in order to become Fuhrer.

Roy would make it. He knew it in his heart he would.

And in the end he would thank Riza Hawkeye for her inspiration even if she didn't realize it.

"A military man." Alphonse stated while sitting on Riza's steps.

Edward was playing with Black Hayate and Ling up in his room. Winry had taken Ran-Fan with her to take care of Tristan while Sarah played with Edward.

"Is there a problem with that?" Riza asked annoyed while she took a seat beside him. Alphonse shook his head smiling when Riza blushed. The blonde felt like Al was implying something else but she couldn't be certain with Al. Despite Al having the heart of a saint he could be mischievous at times.

"Of course not. If he says he's going to protect you and Edward there's no problem." He said brushing it off as Riza glared at him daring him to try and make a joke about her decisions.

"What kind of a person is he?" Al asked suddenly making Riza blink in surprise at the sudden question. She looked at her legs before wrapping her arms around them.

"He is a man of his word, I guess. He always does what he says he's going to do and I know… He would never do anything to let the people he cares about down." She tucked her chin on top of her knees before talking. "Roy never tells what he is really thinking but he has been there for me an Ed when we needed it the most. He wouldn't hesitate to put his life on the line for us and it scares me." She swallowed while thinking about Roy. "I always believed the rest of my life would be protecting Edward from the military. But Roy managed to change that. Roy told me about his dreams and his goals and I realized just because I protect Edward doesn't mean I'm actually protecting him. Roy will be a great man."

Alphonse chuckled lightly making her blush.

"I just asked what kind of person he was not his dreams and junk." He laughed harder when Riza started to stutter in embarrassment.

"I'm just kidding." Al said while pulling her under his arm. "Roy sounds like a good guy and I understand why you took a chance with him. I also know something else is going to happen and if I'm not there to help you I want him to be there. At least that way I'll know you're safe."

She rolled her eyes relaxing in his grip before smiling softly.

Riza turned quickly saving the plate of food she had been carried while she served her guest in the living room. Edward and the kids were screaming over something while she entered the kitchen enjoying the time she had with Roy before her brother came back in. After being introduced Roy slipped into the kitchen waiting for Riza.

"Quite a family you have there." Roy teased while Riza sat down at the table brushing hair away from her face.

"Times like these are when I miss my mom. She would make everyone shut up with one word. It was truly amazing." She said in a wistful voice while leaning her chin in the palm of her hand. Roy smirked at her while leaning back in his seat.

"My mother was as stern as Izumi. She didn't hesitate to pick up a pan and hit you if you told her something she didn't want to hear." Roy commented smirking at the memories of his mother's anger when he and Izumi would come home with bruises and cuts everywhere.

"My father was usually the one who set me and Alphonse straight. He was a famous guns man and threatened us if we did something wrong. I don't think a pan is all that scary." Riza stated silently smirking at Roy's questioning gaze.

"It doesn't surprise me that your father was good at guns. Your aim is rather accurate." She rolled her eyes feeling proud at his words before answering to the praise.

"It runs in the family. Alphonse has really good aim as well; I won't be surprise if Edward can handle the gun as well." It fell silent as Roy looked at her face.

She was gorgeous.

Her blonde hair was straight and framed her face. Her large red brown eyes were probably the best factor of her face. They were kind and soft and let you know exactly what she was thinking at times. Roy enjoyed taking her hand in his and tracing over each of the fingers and memorizing the different ways they felt.

"How is your mother?" Riza asked curiously turning to face him again. He blinked surprised at her question.

"She died when I was younger. She got sick from an infection and we didn't have enough money to save her."

"Where was she from? I heard Ling say you looked Xingenese." The blonde asked curiously.

"My parents were Xingenese. They moved here when I was born and raised me to be Amestrian. My father was killed when I was a child because he was an Alchemist." His childhood was particularly bloody but Riza didn't seem to mind. She traced patterns into the table while deciding to tell Roy about her childhood.

"My parents weren't descended from any kind of cult. But my father would always talk about how ridiculous our military was. Why do you think we lived in Risembool? Father wanted to stay away from military rule which is why we lived there our entire childhood. Nothing ever happened."

Riza was a child protected from harm which was one of the reasons why her soul was still innocent and pure. She hadn't seen the horrors Roy had seen which made him glad.

"I joined the military when I was 20. I was the best sniper there ever was. But I resigned after I got pregnant with Edward."

This wasn't news to Roy. He already knew of everything because of Hughes who found it important to look up her past. (His pride would have been wounded if a civilian managed to make him cower behind a trashcan.) He reached over taking her hand and gently brushing his fingers across the surface.

It just as soft as he remembered.

"Elizabeth Elric? Hughes looked you up when we first met you. You were a lieutenant sniper. Quite skilled since you worked under Hakuro." Her head snapped up glaring at Roy as she slipped her hand out of his grasp.

"You looked me up?" She growled. He smirked at her placing his chin in the palm of his hand and looking at the door wondering if he could make it out the front door in time to escape her wrath.

"It was a precaution. Maes was the one who couldn't let you go away after hurting his pride." She calmed down slightly. She swallowed blushing as she slipped her hand back in his. She didn't want him to think anything from it but she couldn't calm down the drumming in her chest.

"Riza…" She met Roy's gaze as he tightened his hold on her hand. "There's something I wanted to tell you… Yesterday I-!"

The door slammed open breaking off Roy as Edward jumped into the room holding a pink and green water gun.

"Die!" Roy had torn his hand away from Riza his mouth opened in shock which was a bad idea when Edward suddenly soaked him. Ed giggled as Riza covered her mouth with her hand keeping in a laugh. Roy wiped a hand over his face glowering at Edward who was trying to contain his giggles but was failing horribly.

Before anyone could say anything a shriek caused them to freeze.

"ALPHONSE!" Ed looked behind him and burst into a fit of giggles as Roy and Riza got up to see what had happened in the living room while they were gone. On the couch Alphonse was laughing holding his sides a pink and green water gun in his hands. Winry was drenched from head to toe and was currently glaring at Alphonse with plain fury. Roy took his chance to get revenge on Edward by pulling the gun from his fingers making him gasp in surprise.

He turned his eyes flashing wide as Roy got ready to drench the child.

But a mischievous look crossed his face.

"Ling! Ran-Fan!"

Two figures jumped out from behind the couch holding there own guns. As Roy got attacked they failed to notice how close Riza was and managed to get the blonde wet as well. Silence resumed as Riza gaped in surprise.

Roy couldn't even find it in him to shoot Edward. But the silence was broken when Roy laughed. He laughed so hard he wrapped his arms around his side and ducked his head. Edward quickly resumed until Riza blushed a bright red.

"No one is leaving this house until I'm through with them." She growled pulling out a water gun from god only knows where. She aimed at the two laughing boys before she let out a water fight commence.

She forgot to ask Roy what had been on his mind earlier that day.
