I don't own Fullmetal Alchemist or Brotherhood. But there will be some direct lines from the story.

This story deals with a gender-swapped Ed.

And please feel free to comment and or give suggestion.

"Did you say Greed?" I asked, it felt like my stomach dropped, Greed kicked my ass the last time that I fought him. I shifted under Envy's foot trying to wiggle out. "Wait does that mean that you are the Greed from the Devil's Nest?" I asked looking at the young prince that wasn't the young prince any more. His eyes were open and cold looking, no signs of joy coming from them, he even walked differently no longer taking graceful steps instead taking solid strides across the room. He squatted down and looked at me, he looked curious like he was examining something.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" His voice was different to, it no longer had his accent and now was deep and velvety sounding. I felt hurt that he didn't remember me not even as Greed.

"You don't remember us?" I asked and his vision shifted to Al.

"From Dublith?" Al added trying to spark his memory. Ling simply pointed at Al and said

"You've must have met another Greed."

"There was another Greed before you." Father stated, Ling turned to him as if that explained everything.

"I got you that makes sense." He was rubbing the back of his neck. "But if you want to hear it from me I'm not the Greed from before." I wasn't sure how to respond to that, on the plus side it meant that it wasn't the same monster as before, but it probably meant a new homunculus all together.

"But Ling." I simple said asking whether or not he was still there.

"He was an interesting kid," He stood up while talking forcing me to stain my neck to keep his face in view. "He gave up his body without any fight at all." 'No, Ling wouldn't have giving up so easily.'

"You're lying! Ling would never give himself up so easily!" I yell voicing my thoughts "Answer me Ling! Answer me!" I was yelling trying to get Ling to come out and prove him wrong, that there was still fight in him. He only chuckled at me but he suddenly stopped looking forward. I tried to listen but I heard nothing but something drop to the floor. The was also someone talking but it was so high pitched I thought it was a mouse, there was also a lower voice that I thought I recognized, I tried turning but Envy put more weight on my chest. Ling was clapping now and I looking at him arching my eyebrows,

"Now that is a touching reunion right there." 'What the fuck is he talking about?' I tried to push Envy off of my but I felt a tight pinch in my side, it wasn't a broken rib, but it hurt enough to make me stop struggling, 'no not now.' it was still there and it wasn't a pinch it was a full blown cramp right in my gut area. I closed my eyes and tried to control my breathing to lessen the pain, I faintly hear someone call me little and my eyes snapped open and I tried to see who it was. There was a little girl from Xing with that stupid cat Al was carrying with him she was standing right next to Scar. She started yelling at me calling me small for now reason, 'what the hell did I ever do to her?'

"Who are you calling micro? You grain of rice girl!" I yelled, sure it wasn't my best insult but given the circumstances I didn't care. I could hear Al chaste me for yelling at her but I don't have any patience to deal with whiny brats. Al and I were arguing back and forth until Envy began talking.

"Go ahead and eat him he doesn't have his alchemy to stop you." I braced myself thinking he was talking about me or Al but Gluttony charged to the door headed right to Scar. I didn't know who I wanted to win more, Scar or Gluttony, if Gluttony won that meant no more Scar and if Scar won no more Gluttony it was a win win situation. The little brat threw knives at me but missed hitting a rock just beside Envy she then touched the ground and Envy's weight was throw off of my by a hand made out of stone. I landed on my feet, I smiled now that their alchemy was working it was safe to say that ours was working too. Al and I clapped our hands and touched the ground but nothing happened. 'Oh come on!' I stood and ran away from the homunculi, I wasn't helpless without my alchemy but I wasn't going to get into a fight that I didn't need to be in. I heard a familiar clanking behind me Al was close behind me.

"It still isn't working!"

"Then why is theirs?" I saw a piece of rubble large enough to cover Al and I I cleared it in one jump and ducked, I could feel Al right behind me, I peaked out from around the rock and saw the little girl and Scar fighting the homunculi.

"I don't understand sister, why is their alchemy still working but ours isn't?"

"I don't know I have no idea. But I think this is our chance to turn things around." I was pulling a half assed plot together if I did say so myself. I ran from our behind the rock and back to the battle. "Scar!" I screamed and from across the room he looked at me, "I'll tell you the truth about the Ishvalan Rebellion!" I could see his eye grow wide, and I took a breath knowing that it was now or never. "The murder case of the child that became the cause of the civil war, the guy who did it was a homunculus called Envy, he disguised himself as a military official and shot the child on purpose!" I took looked at him to see the detail registering on his face, now it was only a matter of whether he believed me or not. He was saying something I could see his lips moving but I couldn't hear what he was saying, it became clear what he decided when he attacked Gluttony. I stayed still on the rock that I was perched on, I gripped my stomach with my automail trying to put pressure on the cramp hoping in vain that it would go away. Ling walked right in front of me oblivious to me even being there. 'I know you're still in there Ling.' "Ling" I tried to see if he would respond, he looked to me with those strange eyes and held up his hand with the ouroboros tattoo.

"Nope just Greed." And with that he changed his hand into that shield, fingers turned into claws and his smile turned violent. 'Well if he wanted a fight.' I jumped off of the rock and walked closer to him and he took a few steps back, I knit my eyebrows together curious on why he was backing away from me, 'Was he scared that I was going to beat him, or was it what the other Greed said, that he doesn't fight girls.' I was going to take a chance and while I had the upper hand I started walked closer and he backed away farther until I was chasing him around the room, Ling always staying just in front of me. It was a swift motion that turned him around and years of reflex that brought my leg up to kick his chest. I felt the shock of my automail hitting against his shield, it hurt like a bitch and it made me glad that Winston new what he was doing when he made the leg. I stumbled backwards and Ling laughed, his voice was so much deeper now and it was strange coming from his body. "That was some kick, looks like this is going to be more interesting than I thought." And with that he lunged at me forcing me to move back. He kept throwing punches at me with his armoured arm and I was having a difficult time blocking them, this was like the first Greed all over again.

"You idiot prince!" I yelled as I got on the au-fence and threw a punch at him which he blocked. I pushed closer to him and met his eyes with my own. "Wake up Ling I know you're in there."

"I'm Greed.' he corrected, I could hear strain on his voice when he spoke. 'At least I'm putting up a fight this time.' I joked to myself.

"Give. Ling. His. Body. Back." I bite off each word trying to persuade him by force.

"Sorry can't do that." He slammed his head down into mine and as I ducked down to hold where he hit his knee met my side pushing me over. I brought my arms in close I tried to control my breathing so the pain wouldn't get to me. He swung at me from high and I stepped out of the way and jumped bringing my foot down onto his back. It didn't knock him over but he used the force of it to stand and face me again, he swung getting reckless and not caring about accuracy so I easily ducked again and brought my hand up and punched his chin, as his head was thrown back I tried to bring my elbow down onto his stomach and knock the wind out of him but my automail was met by his shield and I ricochetted off of him. He tried to come in closer but I dropped down and swept his feet out from underneath him. He landed hard onto the ground and I stood screaming.

"Give up Ling already you idiot." Not sure if I was screaming at Ling or Greed. I dropped down to straddle Ling and went to punch him in the same fluid movement, he caught my fist with his hand holding it away from his face. "What about your country?!" Ling, I was talking to Ling, "Have you forgotten about Lan Fan? What about me?!" I screamed and went to punch him with my left hand knowing that if he change his skin to his shield that my hand would break, but I didn't care he needed to hear me. My fist made contact and it didn't break but Ling gave me a glare that could kill. We where like that for who knows how long and he didn't make a move and the longer I looked at him his glare turned to a blank stare like when you're thinking about something. I leaned in closer to get a better look and that was my mistake. He grabbed my hand and twisted it at angle to no hand should be twisted and and put his feet on my collar bones right above my breast pinning me to the ground, and still holding my arm.

"Hey Pops I caught him for you!" 'HIM!? Did Greed really think that I was a boy?!'

"Take him upstairs." Father said. 'Upstairs? What's upstairs?' "I want him taken directly to wrath."I rolled my eyes and threw my head back, 'Not another homunculus.' There was a loud bang and Ling got off of me I pulled my hand in close to see if it was really alright. I stood up and held my arm to my side and I saw Envy holding Al, I gasped and slowly walked to Al.

"Si-" He started but I cut him off with a look and he knew that now wasn't the time. "Ed." I walked a little closer but turned to see Ling standing next to the man in white looking so comfortable like he belonged there but I knew he didn't.

"He's in there, I know it. Ling's alive." It was all that I was willing to say right then, I didn't take my eyes off of Ling but I still knew that Al nodded taking what I said as the truth.
