Chapter Three

Hawkeye and Havoc shot at the shadowy figure that had just attacked the Colonel Elric. Hawkeye hadn't got a very good glance at the man, but she could tell that whoever this was, it was indeed a man. She reloaded and took off after him. Havoc helped Ed up. Ed looked pissed. Havoc yelled after Hawkeye.

"Hawk! WAIT!" He growled, "Damn her…she's going to get herself killed!"

"Shut up and run!" Ed replied and started chasing Hawkeye, "We have to catch up with her! That was no human, he was homunculi! I could tell that much…"

"Got it!" Havoc replied running alongside Ed.

Hawkeye turned into an alleyway. She pursued the man up the ladder and onto the rooftop. She reached the rooftop seconds after he had, but there was not one person within seeing range. She growled.

"Damnit! I lost him…" She looked around the rooftop. "Wonderful…"

She hung her head and panted. She wasn't used to pursuing people anymore. She needed to get a good workout planned out again. She looked down into the alleyway across from the one she had just come from. She found it was longer down then she had thought. She sighed and wiped her brow.

"Tired already, Hawk…?" A man's voice rang out from behind Hawkeye. The voice was taunting, and frighteningly familiar.

Hawkeye turned around very, very slowly. She looked at the shadowy figure in the shadows. She looked at him in horror and fright. She measured him, he was the right height. Her breath caught in her throat.

"Surprised…?" The figure taunted while stepping into the light.

Ed and Havoc continued their chase. Havoc was beginning to worry. They had lost sight of Hawkeye. They were now going by where Hawkeye would be most likely to pursue.

"Where in hell could she have gone?" Ed was obviously worried.

"I don't know! Damn it! Why did she have to go on ahead!" Havoc growled.

Hawkeye had to run away from another attack. Tears streamed down her face. This was harder than anything else she had ever done before. She pointed her gun at him once again, and again, she could not pull the trigger. She tried and tried. Her fingers seemed to be frozen stiff.

"Again? You couldn't do it the first time…" He taunted viciously.

"Shut up!" Hawkeye screamed.

"Why…? Don't like to see dead people again?" He laughed bitterly.

"You…You're not him! You aren't Roy! You are just…some…some…" Hawkeye couldn't find the words to say.

"Oh…I'm not? Then how about that last kiss…" Roy smirked.

"Ki…kiss…" Hawkeye stared at Roy. Is…is it really? Could he…possibly be…?

"Oh yes, Riza. I remember the kiss. I may have been dead, but I remember it." Roy replied.

"Roy…? Please…no…you…you CANT BE!" Hawkeye screamed and aimed her gun. This time several bullets found their way into Roy's chest.

"Oh my god!" Hawkeye was horrified. She watched as Roy fell onto his knees. He flopped forward.

NO! I just…WHY! Why must I watch him die, AGAIN! Riza ran over to Roy. She knelt in front on him. She picked up his body and hugged him again. Tears streamed from her eyes and into his hair.

"No…! Why! Why did I have to lose you again?" Riza sobbed. She felt her heart break again. Roy's arms lifted and wrapped around Riza.

"Miss me that much already…?" Roy laughed mockingly.

"Wh…what…?" Riza looked down to see Roy grinning evilly. He threw her backwards. Riza flipped over the edge of the building. She clawed wildly for a ledge or something. Her hand connected with the very edge. She grasped it and held on.

Riza dangled from the building. Her shoulder lit up with pain. She raised her other arm and grasped the edge with her other hand. She had never admitted it to anyone, but she was deathly frightened of heights. Roy laughed from above her.

"What…don't like to dangle?" He snickered. "Too bad…"
"Why? Why Roy! Why are you doing this? Why did you come back!" Riza screamed at him.

"Roy…" Roy scoffs, "I don't go by that name anymore. I go by Avarice."

Riza's hands were losing grip. They were beginning to slip. No! He…he is…he is one of them… Riza shook her head. Tears fell at a steadier pace down her cheeks.

"Don't let go…or you'll go 'Splat!'" Avarice laughed menacingly, he took his foot and slammed it onto Riza's hands. Riza's hands slipped and she began to fall.

Riza screamed as she fell towards the ground. Havoc and Ed so happened to be turning the corner. Havoc saw Riza. He rushed forward as fast as his legs would carry him. He made it just in time to break Riza's fall. Both fell against the ground. Havoc's arm broke with a loud crack. Riza winced as she heard the terrible sound. Havoc winced and bit his lip hard to keep from screaming out in pain. Ed shot a round of bullets off at the figure above with his pistol.

The figure ran off. Ed had hit the figure three times. He thanked God for his shooting lessons. There was no way he could have used alchemy very effectively. He cursed though, when he turned and saw Havoc's arm twisted in an un-natural fashion. He looked at Hawkeye who was now beside Havoc trying to help him. Ed saw the fresh tears still in her eyes. He hoped, beyond hope, that his suspicion on the homunculi wasn't true.

Winry took a look at Havoc's cast and arm sling. She was relieved to find out that only his radius bone was broken and that his elbow had been popped out of place. The elbow had been popped back into place, and the arm placed into a cast for healing.

She couldn't help but to look at Riza. Riza was sitting away from them cleaning her guns. Winry stood and walked over to her.

"How are you doing?" Winry asked Riza with concern in her eyes.

"I'm fine. Why do you ask…? I'm not the one who broke my arm…" Riza said continuing to work away at cleaning her guns. She was trying hard to hide her guilt behind a mask.

"I know. And Havoc is fine, he is going to heal up all right. What…exactly happened up on the roof, Riza?" Winry questioned. She wanted to know why Riza was so distant. More so than before.

"I ran into the homonculi Avarice. That is all…" Riza said placing one of her pistols aside.

"But, that can't be all!" The teenager protested loudly. "You are more distant than before!"

"Win…" Ed started.

"Shut up, Edward! Why, Riza? Why!"

"BECAUSE AVARICE IS ROY!" Riza yelled out of anger and frustration, "Is that what you wanted to know so badly?"

"Wha…what!" Havoc said as his head shot up to look at Riza. "What do you mean, Hawk! That…That homunculi is Roy!"

"Yes…" Riza hung her head. "The homunculus…was Roy…"

Ed looked at the floor. He had hoped this confirmation would never, ever come. But, here it had. He knew for certain that Avarice was Roy. Roy had been brought back. Ed now, more than ever, wanted to find who did this. He wanted to personally ring their necks. Then he though better, he wanted to let Hawkeye kill them. Painfully and slow.

Havoc stood and walked over to Hawkeye. He placed his good hand on her shoulder. He looked at the floor. He knew this HAD to be tearing her apart. Roy, back? And as a homunculi no less. Havoc felt the anger within in him building and boiling. He wanted to take out whoever was doing this. This is hard enough without someone bringing him back as a homunculi! Riza's had it hard eno- Havoc paused. He realized that he sounded like some overprotective boyfriend of Riza's. He didn't notice that before.

"Hawk…he isn't Roy. He isn't the Roy we all knew and liked." Havoc said gently. He dropped his hand from Hawkeye's shoulder.

"I know…I know that." Hawkeye's voice was low. "Avarice is the creation from someone's attempts to bring Roy back. Or make the homunculi…"

Riza stood in her room again. She stared at herself in the mirror. She went over all the previous night's events. She couldn't get Avarice's face out of her mind. The way he sneered at her. She felt the hot tears build up again. She angrily wiped her eyed. A soft knock was heard on her door. She walked over to the door and opened it. She found Havoc standing outside.

"Hi…" Havoc said, he help a small tray a little unbalanced on his hand, "I thought you might like some tea…?"

"Yes…thank you." Riza opened the door further to allow him in. She took the tray and set it down.

"So…uh…how are you doing?" Havoc asked with concern.

"I'm doing fine. How is your arm?" Riza countered. She handed him his cup and took her own. She motioned to him to go ahead and sit on her bed.

"Ah…thank you." He said and took the tea while sitting down on the edge of her bed, "My arm is doing well. As long as I don't do too much with it, it's fine."

"I see." Riza replied taking a seat next to him.

"Hawk…I'm sorry…" Havoc silently said, placing his tea on the bedside table and turning to look at Riza.

"About what?" Riza said staring forward at the wall and taking a sip of her hot tea. She set it down for a little bit to cool down some.

"About…Avarice. I can't imagine how hard this must be on you…" Havoc said staring at the floor.

Riza stayed silent. She stared off into space. She really didn't have much to say. She couldn't exactly smile and say everything was good. She couldn't just pretend nothing happened.

Havoc felt uncomfortable with the silence. He shifted a bit uncomfortably. He looked back at Riza to find her staring blankly ahead at the wall still. He couldn't help but to think of how beautiful she looked sitting there like that. He mentally slapped himself. What are you thinking! This is Hawk! You only JOKE about liking her… Havoc's head screamed at him. But, he still couldn't help but continue thinking that.

Riza looked over at Havoc when she felt the mattress shift a bit more. Havoc leaned over to her and placed his lips on her own. Her eyes flew wide open. She couldn't believe what he was doing! Against her better judgment she felt her eyes flutter shut and her body respond to him. Her lips pressed forward to him. What are you doing, Riza! Her mind screamed at her. Everything seemed to be going by quickly.

Havoc couldn't believe what he was doing! He was kissing Hawkeye! Hawkeye! For some reason, it was like his body had worked on its own accord. Like he was on some weird rollercoaster ride and all he could do was sit back and hold on tightly. He hated himself. He felt his arms push Riza down onto the mattress.

Riza settled down onto the mattress. Her body betrayed every bit of what her brain said. Her mind screamed at her body to stop, but it wouldn't listen. Her body acted of its own accord. She was frightened. She knew where all of this was leading. She knew this wasn't right, but her body continued anyways. Her body didn't, WOULDN'T listen to her protesting mind. She realized that there was no way to stop this. She felt her heart shred into pieces as her body went on by itself.

Chapter Four

Ed sighed. It was late it the morning and Hawkeye had yet to come in and deliver his daily work load. He looked at the clock. This was very unlike Hawkeye to be THIS late. He settled back into his chair with a frown on his face. He was in a grouchy mood.

Fury walked in with a bit of paperwork in his hands. He looked around and found no Hawkeye in the office. He looked confused. He looked at Ed's desk and found no stack of papers. He looked at Ed confused.

"Where is Hawkeye, sir?" Fury asked curiously.

"Beats the hell outa me!" Ed replied with a shrug and a helpless look on his face.

"This is very unlike Miss Hawkeye…" Armstrong replied walking into the office.

"Yeah, it's strange. Hey, anyone seen Havoc? We were supposed to play cards again…" Farmon said sticking his head into the office.

"No…" Ed replied.

Riza opened her eyes to the sunlight filtering in through her curtains. She stretched and yawned. Wait…sunlight! She never woke when the sun was up! She opened her eyes again and stared at the curtains. She looked at the floor and found her clothing. ALL of it on the floor. That wasn't the only clothing she saw either. She saw a man's uniform and boots. She paniced. Oh god! What happened last night! She racked her brain. She turned over to find Havoc staring at the ceiling. He didn't look too happy. He looked upset.

"H…Havoc?" Riza asked, the memories coming back quickly of the night before. She buried her face in her hands and began to cry silently. "Oh god…I'm such a whore!"
"What!" Havoc said looking over at Riza, "Whore my ass!"
"Then why am I like this! HUH!" Riza countered looking at Havoc through tears.

"You're not a whore Riza. Far from it…" Havoc said lightly and brushed his fingers against her cheeks to brush away some of the tears. "I took advantage of you…and I'm sorry…very, very sorry."

"You didn't take advantage of me, my body went against what I wanted it to do!" Riza replied.

"And I let myself fall into a trap of bodily desire. I initiated it. I'm sorry…I know. I'm dirt. And I could never compare to Roy." Havoc scoffs, "And I know he never would have let himself fall into this trap…"

Riza stared at Havoc. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Havoc? Comparing himself to Roy? Why? Why would he do that? Then it hit Riza. Could it be…Havoc has feelings for me? She felt even worse than before. She felt dirtier than ever. She felt like she was the lowest thing on the planet.

"Havoc…I'm sorry…" Riza said, her voice cracking, "I…should have just stopped. I…I'm sorry I did this to you…"

"You didn't do anything wrong, Riza! Holy hell, woman! I did!" Havoc said as he shook Riza lightly.

"Yes I did! Don't belittle it Jean! It's true!" Riza yelled back.

Havoc sighed. He hugged Riza to him. "Cry…you need to really let it out…" He said while rubbing her back softly. He felt her stiffen and then relax. He heard her soft sobs and felt her hot tears on his chest. Her body shook from each sob. He closed his eyes and gently squeezed Riza.

"I'm here…shhhh…it's all right…" Havoc gently sat up with Riza and rocked her back and forth.

"Thank you…" Riza managed between sobs.

"It isn't a problem…no need for thanks…" Havoc stated.

Riza sighed and let herself be comforted. It had been a long while since she let herself be comforted.

"Please, Forgive me." Havoc said silently.
