If you're not in trouble you're not doing your job.

[memeorabilia]

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.

8. Wildcard
Mix/match or make your own. Anything goes!

Kiriko Shijima - Kamen Rider Drive - Open to Anyone

[drivesshotgun]

((Tight cannon that will cuff and drag Loose Cannon partner into the office if it means making them do their paperwork))

[avengeme]

((Coulson is generally tight cannon until he loose cannons, maybe we can play with the latter?))

[drivesshotgun]

((Coulson~! OMG yes, I'd love that! And considering the kind of beings that Kiriko's unit deals with, maybe we could have them working together to try and stop HYDRA from claiming some of them/their abilities for even more heinous purposes?'

Or if you just want to do full-on AU, I'm good with that, too. Up to you!))

[avengeme]

[setting things up in the mcu verse sounds good. Sorry for the delay. Rl hit me with a bad couple of weeks. I can start us off if you're still keen]

[drivesshotgun]

((That would be great! And I hope things are going better for you now, btw.))

Computer problems got added to the mix so I'll be slowish still. Let me know if this works

[avengeme]

Working together with another agency is something SHIELD usually avoids doing but Kiriko's unit has intel and experience dealing with these... creatures while Coulson knows HYDRA. Cooperating seems like a no brainer.

"So what else can you tell me about them?" he asks, scrutinizing the footage of the beings displayed on screen in his office.

It's okay! Now that notifs are working, we can get things going

[drivesshotgun]

Kiriko's surprised that SHIELD still exists in some form, considering what happened the prior April in DC. But she still welcomes their help - especially since HYDRA is getting involved in what's been going on in Tokyo.

She gestures with her finger to one of the holographic displays. (And isn't that something else, dealing with Stark-level technology?) "The Roidmudes don't immediately die if you destroy the main body. The number printed on each of them tend to survive and fly off until they can develop a new body to use. Normally, the would need a Virus Car and some time, but Medic--" She points to a dark lolita-looking lady, "--has been known to revive them in such a manner, and within a shorter amount of time, too."

She then frowns a little. "To be honest, it's the closest thing to having a soul for them. And if any HYDRA agents catches them in that form..." Well, the implication, while unsaid, lays heavily between them.

[avengeme]

Oh great. Another thing for HYDRA to sink their teeth into. He nods at the explanation, as outlandish as they sound. After aliens, and inhumans, and, well, everything, things aren't shocking him anymore.

"Do all of them have the ability to appear human?"

[drivesshotgun]

Kiriko nods in confirmation. "They can take the form of anyone that they see - usually in person. Many will kill the person that they take their human form from and assume their identity." Her eyes grow dark as she explains the last part. Those Roidmude, she had no problem with them being gone. They were murderers, clear as day.

"They're also undetectable in those forms. The ability they use to take that human disguise doubles as a shield from any equipment looking for the density altering particles that they emit. It's only when they activate the Density Shift, or Slowdown, that they become detectable in their human form."

[avengeme]

"All right." he looks at the screen and turns to a nearby agent. "I want facial recognition on this woman and notify me if she's found. No one approaches her without my say so. She's to be considered armed and dangerous." He regards Kiriko again with a slight smile. "Up for a field op?"

[drivesshotgun]

Kiriko seems satisfied that he's taking all of this very serious. Even more so after dealing with higher-ups that used to laugh in her captain's face whenever they talked about it. "Always, Director. Who am I being assigned with?"

[avengeme]

"Me," he said simply. "My team's in charge of containment once we find the Roidmudes and HYDRA. We're going to look into ways of drawing them out." His team isn't going to like the fact that he's going out on his own but their manpower is thinned out at this point and there isn't time to waste.

[drivesshotgun]

"You--?" That surprises her. She half-expected to be assigned to one of the others that he first showed up with. "No disrespect, Director Coulson, but are you certain about this? These may be more dangerous than even some of HYDRA's agents." Hence, why her police unit have their own special fighters to deal with them - the newest members of the Japanese urban legend, Kamen Riders.

[avengeme]

"We're not going to engage. This isn't my first rodeo. But you and I are going to be the best eyes on the field." He gives her a slight smile. "And we're going to dress down." The both of them don't stand out. It's a good thing.

[drivesshotgun]

"So...a plainclothes patrol, then?" That part, she has no issues it. It actually make sense to be as unrecognizable as possible, really, though she still suspect that some of the Roidmudes will still recognize her face on sight.

It takes a few moments of thinking before nodding. "Very well. But if trouble does start, please let me handle it." It is, after all, still in Tokyo - her jurisdiction.

[avengeme]

"It's your turf," Coulson acquiesces though it may be somewhat evident that if the Roidmudes are involved, he's not about to stand back and do nothing. "We're taking my car." Which... well, once she sees it, it'll be obvious that dressing down is the least of their worries.

[drivesshotgun]

((sorry for the delay!))

"Very well." Well, Kiriko thought that his official SHIELD car would be something modern and rather Tough American. And while that's not quite blending in, it would at least make him look like some kind of rich tourist, which is a workable cover.

But as soon as she sees his actual car, however, she slows down to give it a good look. "An...antique?" It's probably a good thing that her partner isn't here; being the car geek as he is, he probably would be all over it like a dog over a raw piece of steak.

[avengeme]

((no worries. I went traveling and had to be away myself))

He smiles, proud. "1962 Corvette. I've made a few improvements." He steps forward to smooth his hand across the shiny red surface. "And changed the plates for Japan." It'll definitely make him look even more like a rich tourist, that's for sure.

[drivesshotgun]

She's figured that one out. And while that might be a good disguise for someone who's not of Asian descent... "Forgive me, Director, but are you sure that this won't be too conspicuous of a cover?"

[avengeme]

"it'll be fine. And she's what we want for our getaway if things go south." so maybe he's also aiming to lure out their targets with Lola. He has a feeling she wouldn't approve if he said that though.
