Author Note
This story was originally going to be uploaded to my Snippet A/U saga but I decided that since this particular AU has a lot of options that it deserved its own story. It should be in order but please be aware that there will be gaps between them, one snippet for example may be set six months before the next one. Each will contain mini stories as well, certain chapters which go together. It will hopefully be clear which ones those are.
Because this story features the male version of Danny Williams in quite a prominent role. Female Danni will be referred to as Danielle except in conversation. This should hopefully clear up any confusion which may arise from having them both in the same story.
I hope to update on a fairly regular schedule so please look out for update.
I should also add that this story is set around about half way through season one.
Nothing more to say other than I hope you enjoy the story.

Part One
Steve McGarrett felt his jaw clench as he stared at the woman in front of him, words wanted to spill out telling her exactly what he thought about her plan but he kept quiet. The woman in front of him was a woman of power, the Governor of the island which he protected and he knew without a doubt that she could make his life a living hell if she chose to.
"I'm sorry Ma'am I didn't quite catch what you said" He remarked calmly, his eyes narrowing ever so slightly when she smiled at his comment, clearly finding it amusing.
"Come now Commander McGarrett let's not play these games with each other, we both know that you heard exactly what I said." She replied, leaning back in her comfortable looking chair and meeting his gaze, her pale blue eyes cool and expressionless. "As I said, I'm extremely pleased with the way the taskforce is going but it's lacking something Commander. I think you would benefit from having a small team within the main team who will deal with the Intel and computer work while you and the other members of your team are out in the field. It should quicken your rate of closure." She told him, a tone to her voice which told him that it wasn't so much a suggestion as a command.
"We close our cases are extremely quickly Governor, we're a good team as we are and we don't need any more members of the team, especially people who I don't know."
"I've handpicked the lead of the Intel team Commander. I should make this clear to you that this is not up for discussion. This team will be formed and you will be working with them. The head of the department will be picking the team. They'll work on the same floor as you as well in the same area." Steve breathed out at the response, the hand resting on his thigh curling into a fist
"Well I guess there's nothing for me to say then" Steve remarked, biting on the inside of his mouth to control himself when he saw the almost smug look coming to the Governor's face.
"I'm glad you agree" She stated, looking towards the door when there was a knock on it. "Ahhh that would be the new lead of the Intel team now." She stood up, her hand brushing down her pants leg as she moved towards the door and opened it. "Thanks for coming in."
"That's fine" A female voice responded, it was a surprisingly pretty voice attracting Steve's attention.
"Commander McGarrett, this is Supervisory Special Agent Richardson, she will be the head of your Intel team" The Governor said, Steve breathed out slowly, coming to his feet and turned round, his gaze landing on the woman who looked towards him.
Steve stared, his heart skipping a beat in his chest. The woman was absolutely gorgeous in his eyes. She was petite in height, probably only about five foot one or two and slim. Her hair was blonde and was tied up away from her face, her features were perfect set off by a large set of grey eyes which were heavily lashed. He glanced down at her clothes, taking in the pretty flowered dress which she was wearing.
"Hi" He said when he realised he had been staring at her. "I'm Steve McGarrett"
"Danielle Richardson but everyone calls me Danni" She responded, her mouth curling into a smile which caught his attention before she moved towards him, her hand outstretched. "It's a pleasure to meet you Commander McGarrett."
"Please call me Steve" He corrected as he took her hand, feeling sparks running up his arm.
"Only if you call me Danni" She said with a smile at him, pulling her hand back from him. Her gaze going to the Governor when she stepped up to them both, her gaze flickering between the two of them.
"I have another meeting now, I would suggest that the two of you go somewhere and talk about how you plan to do this as you're both the heads of the new improved 50" She told them both, moving to the door and opening it up, using her hand to wave towards it. "I'll see you both next week for the weekly meeting."
Steve left the room, stopping in the waiting room and turned to Danielle who stopped by him.
"We should go somewhere and discuss things." Steve said, looking down at his watch. "Have you eaten yet? There's a local place which is quiet around this time where we can go and talk and figure out how we're going to do this."
"I ate a while ago so I can get something light now." She agreed as they moved towards the exit.
"Did you drive in?" Steve asked her, tilting his head towards her, feeling surprisingly disappointed when she nodded at him.
"Yeah I did, I'll follow you in my car, it's over there" She said, turning and pointing towards a silver mustang car. He raised his eyebrow at it before he looked back at her in time to see her smile at him. "We should head over there now, there's a lot to do today and the quicker we tackle it the better" She told him before she moved away heading toward the car. Steve stared after her for a moment before he headed towards his partner's Danny Williams Camaro and climbed in, his gaze automatically going to the mirror landing on Danielle's car, his hands tightening on the wheel.
This was going to be harder than he thought it would be
