Hello so I've got the creative bug so I'm updating quickly hope you all are enjoying it so far.

Chapter 2

Ed awoke slowly, his eyes taking in the blurry images. His head pounded. His body ached and the floor felt way too good. He closed his eyes, hoping he could just fall asleep and let the pain fade away when it hit him. He jolted up as he remembered the flash, Mustang and Al trying to stop him.

He looked to his left and found the Colonel passed out against a book shelf. His eyes roamed his superior's body, his heart pounding in fear until each limb was accounted for. The slight ache in his chest started to fade when Ed realized that Mustang wasn't hurt. Yet the book shelves he was leaning against seemed too familiar. The blonde blinked several times as he stared at the book selves, then to the desk, the floor, and finally the suit of armor in the corner. He was home and specifically he was in his fucking father's study.

"But we burnt it down…" Ed mumbled.

The young alchemist's eyes flew wide again as he realized the other part of that we wasn't in the room. Ed's head jerked to every corner till he landed on the suit of armor again. It stood strong, but there was no life hidden in the helmet, and Al didn't sleep.

"Al…" He whispered, starting to crawl toward the armor.

"Al?" He said a little louder. Ed reached out hesitantly, placing his flesh hand on the steel.

"Alphonse!" Ed screamed filling the room, his voice cracking.

The little red lights appeared behind the eyes as the suit started to move, yet too quickly as it soon stumbled over Al's voice screaming out of it. It landed directly on top of Ed.

"Brother? What are you doing?"

Alphonse stood up, looking at his brother coughing on the ground in confusion. Then just like Ed the memories rushed back. Alphonse quickly pounded Edward on the head.

"Ow! What the Hell was that for? And I was fucking worried about you!"

"What's that for? Brother you have no idea what that array could have done. You could have lost another limb or worse! You're lucky you're still in one piece." Al screamed back waving his arms violently.

"Wel,l we are okay aren't we! It didn't work, but we are all in one piece so stop yelling!"

"No! What you did was stupid and and and….Where are we?"

Both brother's stopped and looked around the room again feeling the nostalgia pulling at their hearts.

"Brother?"

"Yeah, it's…"

They both fell silent till Alphonse looked over to the passed out Colonel.

"Brother, we were yelling pretty loud and the Colonel…"

Ed froze for a second then jerked to his feet. He felt his automail lock for a second, but pushed it forward as he ran to Mustang's side.

"Hey Bastard," He shook his shoulder, no response.

"Mustang wake the fuck up,"

"Colonel," Alphonse whispered.

Ed gritted his teach watching the older man's face. His dark hair lay casually on his forehead, his eyes closed, and lips parted just slightly.

"Do you think the transmutation circle…." Alphonse didn't finish as he watched Ed tense.

Ed grabbed a hold of Mustang's shirt jerking him up to face level. His body just hung limp and would have been hard for Ed to hold up without his automail. It was all dead wait.

"Mustang wake the fuck up or so help me you pampas, control freak, bastard I'll beat your face in!"

Ed started to shake staring at his superior's face. What had he done. Fuck, he couldn't handle this. He couldn't handle it the bastard just had to wake up. He had to.

"Damn it Roy!" Ed screamed and the door slammed open.

In shock Ed dropped Mustang, whose eyes flung open as he collapsed on the ground. Ed turned to see a flesh a blood Al standing in the door way, only he was a lot older and much taller than Ed. The armor Al stared at the one in the door way too for just a moment before they all flew into action.

"Fucking homunculus!" Ed screamed, clapping his hands together as he flew towards the door. Al and Roy, who focused much quicker hearing Ed's voice, jumped forward as well, to the shocked looking flesh and blood Alphonse, but he didn't stay stunned for long.

Just before Ed's hands could land and before Mustang had any time to snap, the older Al clapped and slammed his hands into the nearest book shelf. The wood erupted into slithering restraints nailing down each of them. Ed was pinned to the floor each limb restrained separate from the other. Mustang stood stuck against the back wall, small bindings of wood clutching over his fingers individually. The man curse there was no way he could snap with his hands restrained like this. Alphonse was on the other wall entangled in multiple wood bindings, all extremely thick making even his strength and size impossible to use.

"There," the older Alphonse walked towards Ed who still was squirming on the floor.

"How the fuck did you use alchemy?" Edward demanded.

The other Al just kneeled down looking the blonde over. His eyes then shifted to Alphonse and the Colonel. His face wasn't cruel but inquisitive. Ed just continued to grit his teeth as he stared up at the imposter. It looked so much like Al. Just like his memories only his face was more chiseled and his body leaner. He then stood up and pointed at Al.

"What's your name?"

"Alphonse Elric."

He continued closer to the suit of armor stopping right in front of Al. Then slowly reached up and lifted off the helmet.

"Put that fucking back!" Ed screamed as the older Al look alike peeked inside and then put the helmet back in place.

"You don't look like a fake."

"You're the fucking fake!" Ed continued to scream the older Al just ignoring him as he stared at the suit of Armor.

"What secret did I keep from Edward about our house?"

Ed shut up instantly as Al in the suit of Armor gasped. He wriggled a bit causing the wood restraining him to creak.

"A picture." He finally answered.

The other Al smiled and then walked to the other side of the room where a few book shelves remained unharmed. He picked up a small frame. He clapped and then taped the wall allowing Alphonse down before walking back over to him. Younger Al took the frame and stared in shock at the photo. There was his mother with her arm around both Ed and himself. He quickly sat down with a large clunk and pulled his foot away from the rest of his body and reached inside. He pulled out a matching picture, worn in the same places with their same smiles.

"Brother it's the same." Al declared, eyes fixed on the two photo's. The elder Al smile sighing as he turned to look at Ed on the floor.

"So that means if he is really me, then you're really my brother."

He then turned to Mustang.

"And you're really Roy."

Mustang cocked his head a bit still not entirely convinced. After all when had Al ever called him by his first name? But this man, Alphonse or not, didn't seem to want to harm them.

He clapped again and set his palms on the floor so that both Ed and Mustang were released. Ed jumped up still tense and waiting while the Colonel rubbed his wrists.

"So anyone mind telling me how you got into my house?"

Alphonse place the picture in the frame back on a shelf behind him, then placed his own copy back inside his boot before securing his foot.

"Brother was messing around with circles he shouldn't have been."

Ed glared as the older Al chuckled though he stopped when Mustang walked directly up to him.

"You're telling me you're Alphonse as well?" His voice was serious and straight, clearly showing he didn't believe what he was hearing for a second.

"Well I mean, how old are you?" he turned to Al who stood up now towering over the flesh and bone double.

"Fourteen."

"So ten years difference."

"Al, are you sure?" Mustang question still glaring at the elder Al.

The suit of armor nodded vigorously.

"I'm the only one who knew about that photo not even brother. He, he really is me "

"But ten years older," Ed spoke up and everyone turned as his eyes were wide and his voice a bit shaky.

"That, that means we're in the future and in the future you have your body back."

The elder Al smiled and chuckled.

"I've had it back for a while now." Al open his mouth as if to say more but closed it again as he caught eye of Mustang still glaring. He sighed and then smiled.

"Well I've got I guess a little more proof but in I want to know how you got here, equivalent exchange and all." He then headed toward the door, leaving it open. Younger Alphonse immediately followed him while Ed and Mustang lingered.

"You trust him?" Mustang asked arms crossed.

" That transmutation worked I'm just not sure what it did."

"But taking us to the future? You believe alchemy can do that?"

Mustang turned his gaze to Ed and almost rolled his eyes and he saw that horrible curiosity start to talk hold. It was that same curiosity that led him building that seemed to collapse and laboratory five. Whatever the result there was always a mess that he had to clean up.

"Dunno, but I'm going to find out."

Mustang watched as Ed strutted out of the room, his mind set on finding an answer. He couldn't help but smirk as he saw that last bid of a gold braid flicker in the doorway.
