Not Your Average Law and Order Episode (Detective AU with chakramsareneat)
“Alright, alright,” Axel added a few quick notes to some paperwork that had already nearly been finished the night before. He then hit save, stood up with his coffee, and turned to face Lightning. To be honest, he had no issues with Lightning driving the car. Did he want to drive sometimes? Sure. But what he did love doing was making a big show of being put out over not driving, because he knew it either got under her skin or entertained her, depending on the day. “Yes, Mom, you drive,” Axel started walking towards the door to where their car would be waiting, “I’ll just smile and look pretty beside you.”
“And you’ve never looked prettier,” She smirked, checking the gun strapped to her leg before putting on her jacket. She could never have been more thankful that they didn’t have to wear uniforms. It would give them away in an instant.
Their car was stunning, absolutely gorgeous. Sleek, fast, powerful. Everything they needed to get the job done. She unlocked the door and opened the passenger seat for Axel.
“After you, dear,” She was happy to have Axel riding shotgun. She could poke as much fun as she wanted at his driving. But she could never question his skill with a gun. He had a talent for always having the bullet hit it’s target.
“You’re too kind,” Axel chuckled as he picked up his own gun, slipping it into his holster with practiced ease. He followed Lightning out to the car, and grinned as he often did when he saw their car. Damn, it was a thing of beauty, easily the best perk of the job. They needed a decent car, of course, since there were days they basically lived in it. “You’re being so nice to me today, and here I was worried you’d murder me for being late,” Axel teased as he got into his seat, setting his coffee in the cup holder while he did up his seat belt. “So, what areas exactly are we hitting up about this gang activity?” Axel finally asked as Lightning joined him in the car, “Anywhere familiar?”
