A/N Just a little one shot and my first attempt at writing Ashes to Ashes fanfiction. I wrote this because it always made me laugh how Alex and Gene acted like parents to the team and often ended up disagreeing over matters. Please enjoy and review! I do not own any of the characters the BBC do. :D

Alex had been walking out of CID when she had heard Ray and Chris beating up a suspect in one of their latest cases. Of course she now had them cornered into the Guv's office. "What were you doing?" She shouted trying to keep her temper in check. She had told them absolutely no violence was to be used in this case, and they had blatantly ignored her.

"Well you see he was being funny with us and the Guv…" Chris stuttered to his slightly scary DI.

"Chris man yer div!" Ray smacked him across the back of his head.

"The Guv! What exactly did he say?" Alex asked the tone of her voice getting sharper.

"He said that if that guy started we had to 'persuade' him." Ray said while grinning to himself.

"I can't believe you guys! That man beating to an inch of his life! Well? What do you have to say?" Gene had walked into his office to find Alex shouting at a scared Ray and Chris.

"Oi Bolly, what yer doing?" Gene had surprised Alex but regardless she spun around to face him, and now had her back to a slightly more hopeful looking Ray and Chris.

"You're little followers here have just been beating up a fifty-five year old diabetic, apparently on your orders!" Alex jabbed Gene and then turned back around to continue shouting at the duo.

"Well, Chris, Raymondo, I hope you've listened to yer mother!" Gene said sternly ignoring Alex's scowl at the fact he had called her the mother of the duo. "You should never, err beat someone up!"

"But you said…" Ray shut up when he say his boss wink at him.

"Oh, erm ok Gene? I'm going now!" Alex stormed out only to see Gene congratulating the boys and patting them on the back. "I saw that Gene!" She shouted as she stormed out of CID. Gene muttered a few swear words knowing that next time it would be him on the receiving end of Alex's shouting.

A/N Please review don't be afraid to tell me if it's rubbish. I've had some people wanting this made into a full story I am seriously considering doing this but I would like at least 6 reviews before hand. :D
