Chapter 2:

Revelations

"Well aren't we the most nicest person in the world…" She adjusted her sunglasses before deciding to take them off altogether.

"I think I've been patient enough and considering I've given you what you asked for you should be more than cooperative with me." Ed sighed, trying to keep his composure and to not lose his temper, something that didn't always work the way he wanted.

Mustang sighed in the background, being unable to understand the conversation, he was quickly becoming bored. He was currently trying to figure out how he could get of the room and back to the nap he was missing. "Fullmetal pip…" He stopped as he heard a click behind him. "I mean Fullmetal, can't you do something about the language barrier? I'm getting tired of having to listen to you talk about me in another language." He smiled conceitedly while adjusting his gloves.

"Mustang, if we were talking about you, which we weren't, it would be in detailing what an ass you are. But I think I got something…" He clapped and set his hands on the desk in the room bringing out a small black disc like object and handed it to the stranger.

"Edward… You will be replacing that table, won't you?" Riza spoke up in quiet but stern tone and indicated the small dent that creating the disc had made.

"Of course, Lieutenant!" He placed an arm behind his and managed to look sorry.

The stranger watched the interplay between the three, with a mixture of confusion and shock. "How is it that I can understand you…" She pointed at the them.

"Well I saw something like this while in your world, I just modified it a bit so that now it translates what we say across the two languages." He smiled in a sense of achievement.

"Took you long enough, and they call you a genius… seriously the standards must have slipped." Mustang sighed.

"Sir, with all do respect, I am thinking that we should be focusing on questioning the woman instead of you being worried that your own 'genius' title should be called into question." Lieutenant Hawkeye stepped forward, closing the distance between the two. "First thing, let's have your name… I refuse to call you by…" She glanced back at the two men behind her, "what they have been calling you."

"My name is, Elizabeth…" She started but was quickly interrupted.

"Eliza… beth?" Ed stammered as the other two shared a glance filled with confusion.

"Isn't that your code…" Roy whispered to Riza.

"It's not a secret if you tell everyone, is it?" She whispered back furiously, her eyes narrowing on the General.

"I know you! Everyone knows you! It all makes sense now…" Ed slapped his non automail hand to his face.

"Care to share, Fullmetal?" Roy asked.

"She is not a part of this invasion, she was probably sent by President Hindenburg to investigate the planned coup." He scratched his chin, clearly thinking through the new development. "Was there anyone in particular your were investigating?"

"Of course, I was sent to watch two individuals specifically, which is unusual but they had close proximity and constant interaction so an exception was made. I believe the first was a boy named Heidrich, and the second was a man by the name of Hughes."

At the mention of Hughes' name Roy's eyes narrowed on her. "What do you know of Maes?"

"I see… And you of course, Edward Elric would know of the boy I mentioned, the rocket engineer Alphonse Heidrich… Am I correct?"

"Yes you would know me if you researched him… I did live with him for some time." He turned to Mustang, "She's talking of the doubles on that side, Alphonse and Maes both had doubles… there were several more as well… It was confusing at first… but the similarities between the doubles was uncanny." He turned back to Elizabeth, "So you found out about the coup, what did you do with that information?"

"Well of course I informed my superior, couldn't have a madman become the next leader of Germany! A man who wanted to blame all the misfortunes on a group of people he deemed less than human because of their racial and religious backgrounds does not deserve to have absolute authority of any country."

"And so it failed?"

"I would assume so… The men to be put in charge of the operation are very efficient. But getting back my own personal work, I do have to apologize for not submitting a lengthy profile on you… I was under the impression you were insane considering your talk of another parallel world. I had asked for you to be put in a very nice sanatorium though."

"She thought you were crazy? That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!" The general's sides shook with laughter.

"I said I was apologizing, because obviously he is not crazy," Elizabeth glared at him.

Mustang quickly calmed down in the coldness of her glare, "When you do that you remind of someone else I know…" He turned and looked at Riza without going further.

Ed laughed, "As well it should… I can see now why you insisted for privacy for this discussion. You can remove that mask, your identity won't leave this room."

"I can see your point," and she quickly took her hair tie out and removed her mask, setting both on the table.

"General Mustang, may I introduce, General Mustang…" Ed making a sweeping arm gesture from Roy to Elizabeth.

There in front of a very surprised Mustang and Hawkeye stood Hawkeye's exact double.

Taking a bow she said, "It's a pleasure to meet myself, Lieutenant Hawkeye." As she rose she laughed at them, their jaws still not having recovered from hitting the floor.
