To Thine Own Self Be True
Chapter 31 - Starting Over
Hawkeye was at her office signing paperwork. She had subordinates of her own now and strangely enough, it was Havoc, Breda and Fuery. They respected their new superior. Havoc was now a Major as was Breda. Fuery was a First Lieutenant. Life was basically back to normal. After killing Pride, Hawkeye was on a week vacation to care for Mustang. He was transferred from the hospital to her house once his vitals were stabilized. It saved the state money this way. At the end of the day, Hawkeye headed home. She reached her house that her grandfather moved out of. When she returned from the battle, her grandfather retired and moved into an apartment to give her space.
"I'm home..."
Hawkeye opened the door and walked in. She looked around and it looked like nothing moved.
"Sir...?"
She walked into her bedroom and looked at the bed. He was gone and so was his cane.
"Sir!"
She called as Hayate barked.
"Hayate where is Roy?"
The bog barked and back to the outside door. Hawkeye opened it and looked out.
"No..."
She fell to her knees and stared outside at the darkness. Black Hayate came up and whimpered into her lap.
"He's gone..."
Three Years Later
Havoc and Breda are walking around on a snowy day. It's their lunch break and they take their time getting back to the office where they know the Colonel Hawkeye will make them do work. As they walk around, they see a guard standing in a snow pile watching everything.
"Is that...?"
Havoc and Breda walk closer to the man. The man had black hair, an eye patch and is wearing a black uniform. He has a hat pulled onto his head and on this heat is a badge that reads Security.
"Colonel...?"
Havoc asked as they approached the man.
"It's corporal."
"Mustang. It's is you."
They recognize each other and walk inside the small building. They pull up a seat and sit talking in the small... VERY small office of 'Corporal' Mustang. Havoc pulls out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"Hey, can I get a light... old times sake."
The two officers are surprised when Mustang pulls out a lighter and lights it.
"No Flames?"
"Haven't used them since ... I killed Bradley."
"Oh."
They remained siting their talking.
"Hawkeye is a Colonel now. She's the same old same old. Except, After Bradley died, she seamed normal. Then one day she went home and when she came back the following day, she seamed depressed."
Mustang looked out the small window.
"I'm not returning."
"Why not? We've been looking for you and Hawk...-"
"I'm not returning. now if thats all, I need to get back to work."
Havoc and Breda watched as Mustang went back outside and stood in the snow again. After they leave, Mustang leaves. His shift is over. He walks along the cold streets of Central. His feet are leading the way, and he has no idea where he is going. Then, he felt his foot kick something. He looked down at the small stone.
"Hey Hughes..."
Mustang said as he looked at the stone.
"Been a while..."
Mustang just stared at the stone, and soon drops some flowers. He really had no idea what to say...actually, he knew what to say. But for some reason could not say it. So instead, he just stared. His mind sending brain waves to the dead, saying everything. After an hour, Mustang walked away. As he left, a woman and her daughter walked up to the stone. Three days later, Mustang is standing outside his post watching the snowy world go by.
BANG!
A large explosion is heard somewhere nearby. Mustang's instincts tell him where to look. He can see a large black think moving about. Soon, screams are heard. At this scene, Hawkeye and other military are standing fighting off a very large armored warriors. Hawkeye's sharp shooting seams to be the only thing preventing them from all being destroyed. The military soon relises they are fighting a loosing battle. Most of the officers have run away crying. Hawkeye, Breda, Fuery, Falman and Havoc are still fighting with a few other men. One of the warriors kicked Havoc and Falman and sent them into a wall. Armstrong showed up and attempted to use his alchemy but was knocked aside. The next warrior picked up Hawkeye and was about to snap her body in half as a large bright flash of light destroyed that one warrior. Hawkeye fell and is caught in the strong arms of a man in a black uniform. His hat is long gone and he is... smiling.
"Roy?"
The others walk over as Mustang puts Hawkeye down.
"You call this a battle?"
They look at him, then at each other and smile.
"Well, what are you waiting for, I've trained you better then this!"
The nod and begin fighting. Mustang starts yelling out orders as if he was in charge and they were all his subordinates. They all refer to him as Colonel, even though he is a corporal.
"Havoc! Left!...Fuery Behind you!...Hawkeye, never mind your good. Falman..."
Mustang continued to order them around like old times. After about an hour, the warriors were all destroyed. They stand around smiling; Hawkeye, Havoc, Armstrong, Breda, Falman and Fuery. Mustang smiled back.
"Good to see you haven't lost your stuff, colonel."
Havoc smiled as he and Breda left. Falman, Armstrong and Fuery were next to leave after saying good-bye. Hawkeye remained standing. Mustang looked at her as she smiled and brought her hand into a salute. At the moment, Hawkeye was a higher rank then Mustang. But even so, she clicked her heels together and saluted. Mustang smiled.
"Sir."
Hawkeye said before she ended her salute and turned to leave.
