The Buddy Cop AU Meme

[memeatron]

 

You're two renegade cops with nothing to lose. A loose cannon who plays by his own rules and a tight cannon who plays by everyone else's rules. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Shit's getting real? You better believe it. Shit's always real when you two are on the beat. This, is the Buddy Cop AU post.

Rules:

1) You're a character posting in a meme (blank or not, don't care) with your character's name and fandom in the subject line.
2) They're a character replying to your comment.
3) YOU FIGHT CRIME!

For the creatively stunted, I do have some prompts if ya need 'em.

1. Out On The Beat
Out on patrol in your squad vehicle of choice or on foot. Looking out for action, be it someone stealing from a little old lady or a gang getting ready to beat some poor schmo up.

2. No Time for Backup!
Looks like they have you surrounded! It's a firefight/fistfight, and you two are in the middle of it! What are you gonna do? Run for it? Call for backup? Or go down in a blaze of glory? Or none of the above.

3. Next Time, I'll Have Your Badge!
One (or both) of you just got chewed out by the chief because your methods are reckless and unreliable! Seriously, you killed at least 40 people AND ran your squad car into their hideout! Who do you think you are? Also, you're off the case! What do you do now?

4. We're Going Undercover
No, not like that, you crazy smut writers. But, you're going to need to get the drop on these crooks, or get some info out of them. Luckily, you're a master of disguise. Yup, you two are going to have to dress up and act like them or something along those lines in order to get the info you want!

5. Looks Like He Was Murdered Over Here
Man, fuck those detectives. They aren't finding anything important. No, you and your buddy could probably figure this out just by looking about the crime scene. From the bloody outline on the wall to the lab in the basement, you probably have this covered. Just remember, don't touch anything.

6. A Good Ol' Fashioned Game Of--
Good Cop, Bad Cop. You finally got the lead you're been waiting on, and all that's left is to get the info you need out of them. Thus, you and your friend get the opportunity to interrogate the poor sucker and make sure that they talk. In order to do that, one of you might have to become a little unstable, and the other may have to act as if they're trying to comfort them. Don't forget to ask, WHERE ARE THEY

7. Another Day Done
Welp, you two are officially off duty. What're you going to do now? Go out for drinks? Go looking for trouble now that you're not restricted by the law? Or maybe talk about the tough day you had of foiling evil. Doesn't matter, now you have the whole night to think about it.

[Enough of waiting for people to come to them. They have a possible lead on a suspect, and Maribelle's not about to let this chance slip away. The group has split up into pairs, and once again, Maribelle and Adachi have ended up together.

Gods help them.]

[sleight_of_hand]

[Why? Why? WHY did he always get paired off with this chick? Did some cosmic entity think they were a cute couple or something? That they worked well together? What was it? Because he seriously wanted to smack some sense into whoever the hell it was that thought this was a good idea!]

Er... s-so where did you want to start again?

[damselled]

[He always gets paired with her because of Yosuke's warning. He's a creep, Maribelle, the boy had said, looking uncharacteristically firm. Don't trust him. And honestly, when he gave her that look, she believed him.

That, and Adachi was quite possibly hopeless without her minding him. Honestly, the man probably needed a leash.]

Our current destination lies a few streets off. Come, now.

[And she's off~ Good luck keeping up with her, Adachi.]

[sleight_of_hand]

[Hey, he resembled that hopeless remark! And why would anyone ever think he was a creep? He was just so sweet and innocent~]

[...yeah, whatever]

[Adachi let out a startled noise, running to catch up with her as she marched off.]

H-hey, wait! Slow down!

[damselled]

[Thus far, Adachi hadn't slipped around Maribelle - which was good for him; Maribelle had, in spite of herself, a way of charming people, and had made several fast friends in the community.

Not only that, but she could probably kick Adachi's ass without even trying.

She slowed down - but only a little - to accommodate him, casting a glance back in his direction]

If we move too slowly, we risk losing our lead. Do try to keep up.

[sleight_of_hand]

[He wasn't about to slip either, not while she was wielding something sharp anyway. But one of these days, when she didn't have that parasol around...]

W-well yeah, but rushing in isn't gonna do us any good! We don't know what we're heading into.

[damselled]

[Good luck with that one, Adachi; Maribelle always has her parasol.]

And that, darling, is why we have backup. Besides, if we don't go now, we risk losing our lead.

[sleight_of_hand]

[He would find a way; he just needed some time.]

You put way too much faith in other people.

[Really a bad idea, especially considering her current company.]

[damselled]

Hardly. I believe we have firmly established what needs to be done, here.

[Oh, Maribelle. Keeping yourself pretty consistently alone with Adachi is hardly the best thing she can be doing.]

[sleight_of_hand]

[Adachi just let out a heartfelt sigh.]

Right... 'cause I'm not the person with experience or anything...

[Oops, did he say that out loud?]

[damselled]

[Stop. Turn. Stare.

And yes, it's the sort of stare that can - and has - sent many a poor sod running for cover.]

... I beg your pardon?

[sleight_of_hand]

[...funny, he had that same grossed out feeling when the kid whipped out Mara...]

I-I... nothing!

OH GOD NOT MARA

[damselled]

[Maribelle's stare turns ice cold as she looks Adachi over, looking every bit like she might devour him whole - and no, not in the fun way.

But then she tilts her head to the side, looking slightly less like she was thinking of all the ways she could brutally murder him and not leave any evidence.]

Very well. Since you are the detective, Tohru, you may lead us.

For now.

MUAHAHAHA

[sleight_of_hand]

[Adachi cringed, waiting to get hit with the Parasol of Doom... but nothing happened. He cracked an eye open at her, staring in surprise; did she... actually just admit what he thought she did?]

Hunh?

[Say it again, c'mon. Say he's the one that actually knows what the fuck he's doing.]

I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS

[damselled]

[Aaaand here's the unimpressed look. Again.]

I do not care to repeat myself, Tohru.

WHY WOULD MARA NOT MAKE US FRIENDS?

[sleight_of_hand]

S-sorry, I'm just not used to hearing impossible things...

[...someone had a case of foot in mouth syndrome at the moment.]

BECAUSE MARA

[damselled]

[Whoops. Maribelle's eyes narrow again.]

I'm sorry? I am by no means unwilling to listen to those I work with.

BUT HE'S HAPPY TO SEE YOU???

[sleight_of_hand]

[Adachi backed off; sheesh, this woman was easy to set off.]

O-okay, okay... you're the boss and all.

STOP FLASHING ME, DAMMIT

[damselled]

That's better.

Now, lead on, darling.

WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE

[sleight_of_hand]

[A bit of a grin twitched onto Adachi's face, before he started ahead of her, keeping a moderate pace. It wasn't just a matter of taking his time though, he knew how important this was. What they didn't know is if their suspect knew they were on to them. If the guy was waiting for an ambush, making him sweat a little longer never hurt.]

[Neither did it hurt to have his gun drawn as they got closer to the target location.]

YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PERSON 8|||

[damselled]

[Maribelle bit back an impatient sigh as she followed him, her hands gripping her parasol perhaps a bit tighter than she ought to have been. But she really has been hard on Adachi, and she really does want to see if he can handle this. Honestly, though, the way he jumps at everything, she's not so sure he can even handle a cup of particularly strong tea.

Still, appearances can be deceiving...]

I know. I'm not sorry. XD

[sleight_of_hand]

[That was the funny thing about Adachi; he was perfectly okay with people thinking he was less than what he actually was. Because right now, as they approached where the suspect was supposed to be, he was all business; listening, waiting, watching. His gun was drawn, but pointed to the ground -- he wasn't about to go shooting anyone yet, not with a weapon that only had five shots, and he didn't know what their target was capable of.]

This guy, what's he like again?

I know you're not 8|

[damselled]

He is unhinged, and severely dangerous. He seems quite capable of killing, although he hasn't just yet. And I do believe he is at least a little drunk.

[Ugh, commoners. Why did they have such disgusting habits? Maribelle herself, is closing her parasol, perfectly willing to impale the bastard in the throat with it if she has to.

Of course, then she'll have to have it cleaned...]

Hehehehe...

[sleight_of_hand]

Hunh... sounds like my kind of guy.

[Anyone that didn't know him would assume he was referring to the drunk part... and he kind of was. It wasn't like he just went on a murder spree whenever he felt like it.]

Keep behind me, unless you can get a good stab in with that parasol of yours.

do I have to parasol you through the internets

[damselled]

Ugh.

[Maribelle rolls her eyes and huffs a sigh, but obediently gets behind him.]

Very well. Shall we?
