The Promised Day had come and gone for Amestris, now the country seemed to be in a state of calm. Roy knew things wouldn't always be calm, especially when he knew Ed was coming in to town. Al and Ed had been working a few cases for him here and there. A young girl had barged into his office earlier in the day, her hair tied up in a long flowing pony tail, its gold color startling the group. She had pointed at Roy and demanded he tell her where Edward Elric was. Her gold hair and gold eyes made her an oddity to them. She sat on his couch in a green jacket that matched Ed's in a way, it even had the same symbol as his. Riza had watched her at first but when the girl pulled a leather bound book from her pocket and started reading quietly, she went back to watching Roy.

"So, when will they be here Mustang?" Roy glanced up at the girl, she was now perched on the other side of his desk, her red leather pants taught over her legs, her white undervest tight on her chest showing ample cleavage.

"Its General Mustang…" He sighed looking back down at his papers.

"Whatever, anyway I need to know I have to speak to Ed."

"I don't know when they will get here… um…"

"Sylan."

"Sylan, they will get here when they get here." She huffs getting up from his desk walking around the room, she reminded Roy too much of Edward. After a few more failed attempts at him trying to learn more from Sylan, the doors flung open and in walked Ed and Al, both looked worn out. Upon noticing the golden-haired girl, they set their stuff down.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Ever the sweet talker Edward, I guess Hohenheim never mentioned me?" At the mentioning of their father both Elric's eye her warily.

"What would that asshole have to say about you?" A bitter laugh escapes her lips as she walks up to Ed, she smirks and claps her hands together she hits the ground pulling a pike out that looked like the one Ed used. She twirls the blade then points the blade into Ed's throat.

"You didn't use a transmutation circle." He whispers in awe, she shrugs pulling the blade away grinning.

"No, I didn't." She offers no more explanation for them just turns her back to them and sits on the couch.

"My name is Sylan Hohenheim, I am the bastard daughter of Van Hohenheim."

"You lie!" Turning to look at her half-brothers the girl stands.

"He lived for hundreds of years, the thought of him loving anyone other than your mother so shocking? I mean, he didn't really love my mother. Just enough to give her a child and leave. Said something about other obligations, those other obligations were your mother and you Edward. I was born the same day as you, but I'm three minutes older than you. He didn't want a daughter you see, he needed a son, so he never came back for me, when he did come it was always for a reason." So, the girl was related to the brothers, it made sense. She could be Ed's twin, and she almost was. She took her jacket off; her left arm is automail just like Ed's. "We have more in common than you know Edward. Except mine wasn't my mother." Both brothers flinch at the memories, pulling her pant leg up on her right leg reveals automail as well. "Don't worry, no suit of armor for a sibling to follow me around while I look for a philosopher stone. Besides what would be the fun in that?"

"I don't believe anything you are saying; the Bastard wouldn't have done that to our mother."

"I am not the only bastard child. He wanted a child in every country. Just not all of us are alive to meet one another."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"My mother is Cretan. I knew he had children in Xing, one is alive the other one she didn't live past her first birthday. He has two daughters from Drachma, one is back at my hotel. She is Al's age. They are only a day apart, I have been following our fathers trek for a while now."

"He didn't have a child with an Ishvalan?"

"She was killed a while ago." She looks at Roy now, a dark look on her face. His stomach drops at the mention of Ishval. "I am sure she wouldn't hate you Mustang, she was on her deathbed the day you burned the city."

"Why did he need sons?"

"It doesn't matter now, the issue has been dealt with, or did the Promised Day not happen?"

"I killed one of your sisters?"

"You? Yes. The other one? No, two girls were born in Ishval, both were killed. But it's in the past, you have atoned for your crimes Mustang. I did come here for a reason Edward, I wanted to meet you. My mother always told me how I looked like my brother."

"She knew us?" Looking at Al she nods softly.

"Father would come and visit me, so he could test me. He had a photo of both of you and at that age we could have been twins. My mother wanted to bring me to your home, out of spite for you and him. But she never did it." Standing Sylan slips on her green jacket. "Well I met you, but I am needed back with Aberdee, I am sure she is worried for my safety. If you decide you want to learn more about what I have told you I can always come back, besides Mustang isn't bad company he is pleasing to the eye. I see why you find him attractive Edward."

Roy chokes on his coffee, Ed is blushing looking like he could kill her. Al is laughing off to the side. She turns and walks out the door.

"I like her." Everyone turns to look at Riza. "She put all of you in your place and didn't bat an eye."

"I still don't understand why father would need two sons and abandon his daughters."

"He did awful things." Ed whispered watching after his supposed sister. Turning to look back at Mustang, the two stared into each other's eyes a blush forming on the blonde's face.

"So, you find me attractive Fullmetal?"

Ed glares at him. "Shove it bastard." He slams his report on his desk grabbing his things he storms out calling for Al to follow him.

"Brother do you think what she was saying is true?" Ed looked at his brother as they walked to their apartment they shared.

"Only one way to find, lets research it." Al nods and they change course heading for the library.
