Soo…this idea popped into my head when I found out that Alex and Casey would both be returning! *GASP YAY* I hope you enjoy :-) I don't own Wicked or Law and Order: SVU, sadly.
Alex walked into the 16th precinct, fresh off the plane from the Congo. She told her detectives she wouldn't be back for another two weeks, so she hoped they would be happily surprised. Though she originally planned to go to her apartment first, she couldn't wait to see her closest friends.
"Hey there, stranger!" Elliot exclaimed first. The entire unit ran to give the blonde a huge group-hug.
"I thought you weren't getting in until the 15th!" Olivia commented happily.
"Surprise!" Alex shrugged with a smile, "My final case plead out at the last moment, so I got to come home early!"
"We're light on cases this afternoon, how about we all go out for lunch? We want to hear all about the Congo!" Cragen suggested.
"That sounds great, but I haven't even brought my bags home yet, and I could use a serious nap," Alex apologized, "But, how about dinner tonight?"
Everyone agreed and decided to meet at Melrose Diner for 6:30 that evening. Alex grabbed her luggage and was about to head out the door when she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, Liz told me I'd be working with a partner," Alex inquired, "Any idea who this mystery person is?"
"Liz didn't tell you?" Olivia asked sheepishly.
"No, she said I'd find out when I need to find out," Alex replied with a laugh and an eye-roll.
Elliot, Olivia, Munch, Fin, and Cragen looked at each other, fighting over who would tell her. If Alex shot the messenger, no one wanted to be the fatality. Alex never explicitly said anything before, but everyone knew Alex wouldn't particularly like her new partner. However, the question was answered when, as if on cue, Alex's partner waltzed into the precinct.
"Hey guys, I got the search warrant for the –" Casey Novak began, "Alex, I didn't think you were getting back for a couple weeks."
"Change of plans," Alex coldly retorted, "So, you're my new partner?"
"Uh yeah," Casey answered, trying to paste on a smile, "Liz thought we might work well together, so…"
"Great," Alex also pasted on a smile to appear civil, "Well, I'd better go unpack and settle in. I'll see you all later at dinner."
Alex left as quickly as she could, needing to be as far away as possible from Casey Novak. Munch, one of the few people in the world who could read Alex like a book, followed her out to talk her down.
"Well, that went well," the red-head sarcastically commented, "Anyway, I'll be at my office; call me if you need anything."
"They didn't kill each other," Elliot commented once Casey was out of earshot, "It went better than I expected."
Alex and Casey's inner-thoughts: To the musical styling of 'What is this Feeling' from Wicked:
Alex and Casey:
There's been some confusion over working here for Liz
Casey:
But of course I'll try my hardest
Alex:
But of course I'll riiise above it
Alex and Casey:
For I know that's how Liz'd want me to respond,
Yes, there's been some confusion for you see my partner is…
Alex:
Unusually and exceedingly incompetent and it's
Altogether quite impossible to get along…
Casey:
Blonde
Alex and Casey
What is this feeling so sudden and new?
I felt the moment I laid eyes on you?
My pulse is rushing
My face is flushing
My head is reeling
Oh, what is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame
Does it have a name?
Yeeesss
Loathing
Unadulterated Loathing
Alex
For your face
Casey
Your voice
Alex
Your clothing
Alex and Casey
Let's just say - I loathe it all.
Every little trait however small,
makes my very flesh begin to crawl, with simple utter loathing
theres a strange exilhiration in such total
detestation. It's so pure so strong
Though I do admit it came on fast,
still I do believe that it can last
and I will be loathing,
loathing you my whole life long
Thanks for reading - now please review! Also, I have a question: who are you more excited to see return: Alex or Casey? Hit me up and tell me what you think!
