Author's Note: Yet another Royai fic! Sadness has set in because FMA is currently not on Adult Swim... well unless you watch episodes 1-26 reruns at 1 am (my time) on weekdays. sigh Anyway, I got this idea from episode 25 and from a scene in episode 26 when Mustang said something like "I'm on my way to the top, you coming?" to Hawkeye. Anyway, here it goes.

You Coming?

It was raining... It was always raining and he hated it. He believed that rain prevented people from enjoying the better things in life, such as the good weather and a nice walk... yet here he was, walking in the pouring rain after having an all too helpful visit from his best friend and getting some sense knocked into him. Human transmutations... Wars... Death... They weren't going to fix any of the problems in this world and he knew it, that's why he had a plan that would not only benefit him, but everyone. Having spaced out, Roy Mustang found himself standing in the pouring rain at a park. He figured he would be the only one dumb enough to be wandering to a park in the pouring down rain until he saw someone sitting far off under a tree, no coat or umbrella to shield them from the rain. Roy frowned a little as he took in some things about the individual and noticed them wearing a military uniform.

Wandering over, Roy discovered it was a woman and she was actually attractive despite her soaked appearance. Roy took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, figuring he had no real use for it and sat down next to her. The woman looked at him in slight shock, obviously caught off guard and Roy smiled slightly. He knew who she was now. Riza Hawkeye. She was quick with a gun and possibly one of the most respected women in the military, despite her age, because of it.

"Lieutenant Colonel..." Roy silenced her with a random wave of his hand.

"What're you doing out in this weather, Major? You could catch your death y'know." he informed and noticed the gun lying in her lap as she responded.

"I was doing some thinking..." There was a silence as she trailed off and Roy sighed, not looking at her.

"Don't tell me a strong woman like yourself was considering..."

"You don't understand!" Riza said, cutting him off. "I killed so many people... Mothers... their children..." she clenched her fists and squeezed her eyes shut. "Those bastards had me kill children." she said. Roy looked at her and felt some sympathy before looking back at the cloudy sky.

"Trust me, I know how it feels." he said, lifting an ungloved hand and snapping. "Just like that and I tore families apart..." He trailed off and shook his head. "I hate them for what they made me do to those people, self defense or not... But I have a plan." Riza looked at him and noticed the determined look on his face. "I'm going to become Furher, major. I'm going to be the one calling the shots. I've already got one person backing me up." he said as he stood up. He turned to her and held out a hand, an assuring look on his face that promised all would be alright and he would fix things for both of them. "You coming?" Riza stared at him before taking his hand, holding his coat to her.

"I'll be behind you all the way, sir." she said and he smirked.

"Let's go then."
