"I.... don't know" said Roy to Riza. Who was she. Ed must know her, because he ran to this women and talked to her. Strange... He took Riza's hand and stood up.....

Hawkeye, after pulling the Colonel to his feet, stood stiffly next to him, and looked at the strange woman, then back to her superior officer.
She didn't know what else to do.

((From what I read and understand now Izumi is basically standing like right near Al so that is how I’m going to play it ><))
Alphonse was silent, watching his brother fight, is he had a heart, it would have been racing in his chest, but even if he had no physical heart, it did not stop him from worrying for Edward throughout this entire thing. Battle assessment or not it was still dangerous and things could very easily get out of hand, much like the first assessment where Edward had fought the Colonel, the two of them had gotten over zealous and had been made to clean up a mess that would likely have been smaller if they hadn’t got carried away. The younger Elric was distracted suddenly by an all too familiar voice, to say that a shiver ran through him was inaccurate, but whatever the feeling it was not a pleasant one. ’Teacher!’ he thought, a panic setting in somewhat, what was she doing here?
For a moment Alphonse was surprised that she did not seem to recognise him, but then of course it hit him....she hadn’t seen him since he was a boy, and one of flesh and blood at that, it was no wonder why she mentioned his name in conversation if she thought he was someone else. As his brother approached her the younger Elric drew a little closer, but not too close....she didn’t know what they had done, that they had tried the forbidden....human transmutation. He knew all too well that would not be pleased to find out that her students had tried something so stupid and reckless, and already she had noticed Edward’s arm....how would they tell her? Plucking up a little courage the younger boy finally managed to speak, his hand rubbing the back of his head slowly. “Um....hello....teacher” he said quietly, his voice somewhat squeaky, resounding inside his metal body.

Izumi turned slowly. From Edward to the man in the armor. She knew that voice anywhere, but the height, the sound was all wrong. The voice sounded like it came from the armor, yes, but the way it resonated... as if there was nothing but the voice within it. Izumi was shocked, but it was beginning to add up. Ed's automail arm, the fact he tried to hide it from her, and now Al...
In a cold whisper she spoke, "What have you done!?", although she wasn't sure if anyone heard it.
'Please no. Please don't be what I am afraid this means.' Came her thoughts.
The stress of what she feared they did was too much for Izumi. She began to cough. Hard. She dropped to her knees, her hand over her mouth. She tasted the all too familiar metallic taste, and felt the warmth of blood on her hand. She attempted to breathe, to calm herself. She wouldn't last long if she let herself get this worked up.

Ed felt terrible, he knew she was disappointed in him, he was disappointed in himself for everything he had done. He looked down at his feet upon hearing her words, they were faint, but he heard them.
As she fell to the ground, Ed fell with her, "Teacher!" He exclaimed in fear as he fell, "What's wrong?" He asked holding onto her. He had no idea the choices she had made in life were very similar to his own.

Alphonse watched her silently, his arm coming to rest at his side once more as he stood rigid, the way she was looking at him sent a shiver through his very soul....did she suspect? That he was more than what he appeared to be? That he was not simply a person within this armoured shell, that it was empty. Somehow that thought filled him with a sense of dread, they hadn’t wanted her to know about their mistakes.....they were theirs alone, and they had paid for them greatly, but still, if there was more punishment to be had for their actions...he could hardly say they didn’t deserve it. Though her words were but a whisper the younger Elric heard them and he moved back a touch, his head lowering as he stared at the ground, he felt it then, guilt....the feeling of being ashamed of himself...even if he had no body, he could still feel in a sense...and emotions were worse than physical pain.
As Izumi started coughing Alphonse’s head jerked up sharply, and he gasped slightly watching as she fell to her knees, he knew that she had some sort of condition, he could remember the first time they had met her in Risembool how she had broken down suddenly, coughing up blood at the river when she had created a dam....he didn’t know why though, and he had never asked her about it...but still, to see his teacher like this, it panicked him greatly. “Teacher!” he cried rushing forward again, kneeling by her side, looking from her to his brother in obvious panic.

Finally the pain stopped, and Izumi returned to her feet. Pulling a small towel from her pocket, she wiped the blood off her face and hand. She shook a little bit from the stress of it all. She looked at the two young Elrics. They really hadn't changed much. Sure, the physical had changed a lot. Ed was taller than he was last time she saw him, and Al was completely different. But who they were, she didn't think that would ever change.
"I'm fine. Just a little too much excitement for me. I just need to sit down and rest." She said, her voice regaining her normal strength. She managed a smile. She didn't want them to worry about her.
"We will need to talk when I'm feeling a little better, when we have some privacy." She finished, as she walked a few steps away. She clapped her hands together, and touched the ground. A chair materialized from the alchemical reaction. It was dark-brown, matching the color of the dirt underneath. She lowered herself down into the chair.
Izumi felt better now that she was off her feet. Looking back at her students, she spoke again. "See? All better."

Ed wasn't sure what to think, he knew that she was pushing something aside. She had been doing this for years and it wasn't getting better.
"Teacher, what's wrong...why does this happen?" He asked. He wanted more than anything to know the truth. He thought of her as a mother, and the last thing he wanted was to lose another mother. He actually couldn't lose another person. After nearly losing Al he had a whole new respect for life, it changed him.
Ed turned to Al and whispered, "How are we going to tell her? She will be so angry." Part of him was still that childish Ed he has always been and just not wanting a good old beating, but part of him also just didn't want to hurt her, like he know he would.

Izumi shook her head. "Persistent Brat. You haven't changed a bit since you left." She said frowning. Perhaps she should tell them, but not until she found out what they did to themselves. She didn't want to admit that a part of her was certain they did exactly what she had done. Try to bring back what was lost.
She shook her head, and waved a dismissal hand at Ed and Al. "Later. We'll have plenty of time to talk. Until then, I need to see about visiting an inn and getting a room." She said as she stood again, feeling stronger after the momentary rest. She began to walk off in the direction of the inn. It would take her a little while to get there, and then she'd need a nap at the very least.
Turning her head slightly as she walked, she spoke to her students. "I'll send for you when I've had some rest." She finished. She half-expected Edward to state his objection and stop her until he had answers. He was stubborn, not unlike her.

Hawkeye watched as the Elrics' teacher left.
Glancing over at Roy, she gave her superior officer a slight, yet firm nudge in the side.
"Aren't you going to say something, sir?" she asked, her voice a whisper, "Things like that aren't normal..."

Ed wanted to stop Izumi from leaving, he just knew that there was no stopping her. "But teacher," he said as he watched her leave. He knew there was no way she was going to explain. He understood very well the idea of wanting to keep something a secret. He didn't want to tell her what he and Al had done, but he knew that at some point he had to. So perhaps at one point, she too would have to explain what she was going through. He had no idea that they had gone through the very same thing, nor would he ever guess such a thing.

As the Flame Alchemist saw that the strange women spat blood he was a little bit shoked and since that he had more questions as before..... Who is she? Why Ed and Al know her?... And especially, why she splat blood?..."Wait... i will ask him...." he wispered to Riza. Roy went to Edward. He was curious how Ed would react to his questions.....

"Of course, sir..." she responded.
Hawkeye hesitated for a few seconds, before following after her Colonel... She trusted him... but she never knew when to cut in and do the talking...
Seriously she was his babysitter most of the time... but she didn't mind it... not one bit.

It mattered little how much she tried to ensure them that she was fine, it didn’t stop the worry that coursed through the younger Elric’s mind, he hated to see her in a weakened state, and even now, as she seemed to recover, he was still somewhat panicked on the whole situation. For once there was that looming presence of a talk....and he knew all too well that he probably would not much like the topic, how could they tell her what they had done? It seemed almost as though Edward had read his mind as he whispered to him and Alphonse shrugged a little before speaking, trying to keep his voice as low as possible. “I don’t know brother....” he said in as best a whisper as he could manage.
Alphonse watched Izumi in an uncomfortable silence as she stood finally, again he felt that pang of worry, but now it was also mixed with fear, his brothers words having roused his anxiety further. What would she do if they told her? Honestly he didn’t want to think about it, but he knew her reaction was not going to be a good one, but for the moment they had a reprieve.....but they would have to decide how to tell her.....but truthfully there was no easy way to do so, no matter how much the younger Elric wished there was. As she began to walk off the younger boy went to say something but decided against it, watching her leave, a sigh resounding inside his body. “Brother....what are we going to do?” he asked, looking at Edward.

Ed waited a moment before answering his brother. He thought about the things that could happen when he told her. All of them ended with his face being filled with bruises and cuts. He looked at his brother, as if seeing him like that wasn't pain enough everyday, Izumi would surely make him pay more and more. Finally he opened his mouth, "I don't know, Al..." He said seeming to drift off.
He looked back to where Izumi once was in sight, now gone, leaving the two brothers on their own. Even if they weren't exactly "alone."
