To be totally honest i'm not even done with two other fics I have been writing and I probably shouldn't have started this one yet either, but forever I have wanted to write a noir story be it a book or a fanfic but I have been dying to do this for sometime now.

As usual tell me if it isn't good enough and I will remove it right away. Thank you, please comment and tell me your thoughts.


Peridot POV:
If I was short then she was a mountain. Long white flowing hair bounced as her laughter bellowed in front of me. Her black suit and matching fedora weren't an eyesore but I needed to get back to work and this walking tar stain was in my way like a hole in the street covered in a puddle of slimy water, how could she not be sweaty in all that dark color?

"So your Peridot I take it?" she asked me. I simply nodded and shook her hand, grip was as tough as a snake's grip onto your neck. "Name's Jasper, I've seen your work lately and your doing an amazing job. What would you say if I told you that you could make detective here?" my mouth dropped as my mind went blank, with the snap of her fingers this tar stain brought me out of my stupor with another laugh. "Tell you what officer, you help me solve this case and I'll even make you my partner."

"Thank you detective, it'll be my pleasure." I responded in pride and hopefulness. Hope was all I could afford out here where everyone believes women are ment for secretary work or staying home and raising the kids, not me though. I was built for making Justice shine like it was always ment to. I waved goodbye to Jasper and returned to my desk to continue my paperwork on one of many missing cat cases I had been assigned to since Mrs. Gordon liked to call me to her home personally. This was gonna be one of those weeks, you know what I mean, when you wake up every morning with your same ritual only to slowly start to notice something ain't right, you can't pin point it but something in your stomach is telling you that you need to fix it.


Two Days Later, Peridot POV:
"Hands behind your back, NOW!" the man in a green button up shirt didn't feel like complying today since he threw my partner into our squad car and dashed into the alley behind him. "You bastard!" I roared chasing after the man, thankfully he wasn't aware that in high school I was the champion in the triathlon and all those years of running paid off here as I turned the corner to see the idiot trying and failing to climb a chain link fence. "HANDS, NOW!" he dropped down and raised his hands allowing me to move forward. Dealing with men like this always drove me up the wall like a cat trying to eat a mouse I knew it was eventually always gonna end up with me full but alone all the same. As I put my gun in it's holster and pulled out my handcuffs the bastard knocked me over and brandished a weapon, a knife that glistened in the sun light as he looked upon me with delight in what he had envisioned for me. "Stop where you are!" I commanded, terrified, turns out I was the mouse in this situation, unless I had good aim. Pulling out my pistol the man lunged towards me and in that half second I had to make a choice, do I take him down normally and risk a potential wound? Or do I fill him with lead? The latter seemed a better choice due to my frightened demeanor and I felt my lunch from earlier start to come up to my throat as the bullet went between his eyes and out the back of his skull, it was my first time killing some one. Turns out seeing someone perish in front of you isn't all that it's cracked up to be in the movies, maybe it was the fact I took someone's life away, someone's child, or maybe it was just the fact that I hated vomit and I was going to need a new pair of shoes after I was finished hurling.

"Great shot there officer!" I turned to see that tar stain again, Jasper clapping and laughing as she made her way to me helping me wipe my mouth clean. I thanked her silently and her hand never stopped rubbing circles into my back to help calm me from this tragedy. "It never gets easier dealing with it you know, you just get a little more used to it.." she mumbled, "You my dear friend have helped me finish my case though so I must accommodate you for that! Been trying to take this son of a bitch down for a few days now seeing as he likes to gamble and 'get' money from others!" a smile appeared on her face and her hand finally let my back only to place itself upon my shoulder. "You ready to join me and be able to afford one of them colored t.v.'s?" I took another breath before lurching out the rest of my lunch back onto the rest of my shoes. "Welcome aboard partner!"


A Week Later, Jasper POV:
Sure she was a runt compared to me but they all were, being like an amazonian woman compared to these men made me feel bigger and better even though I knew better then to get that big headed. She decided to go with a blue suit with a brown hat, nothing better then my black but a blonde in blue was quiet a striking appearance next to me and the other idiots couldn't agree more. I could tell the wolf whistles were making her uncomfortable but I was damn well sure this little firecracker wasn't gonna back out on me because Polosko and Barton couldn't keep their mouths shut, if anything it would make her stronger and if we could be a power team then maybe we could get more female detectives here and here to stay.

"Alright fellas sit down and shut up, welcome aboard a new detective to this scene, Ms. Peridot Prosto!" the few men in the room clapped softly as she nodded to the captain. "My name's Pink Diamond, I see Jasper's taken you under her wing and I couldn't be happier to see this monster with a partner. Jasper you better make her into you alright?"

"You know it Captain!" I declared giving a light slap on Peridot's behind making her jump and yelp slightly. The others laughed and I motioned for her to sit as she glared daggers into my soul, if I couldn't make her trust me then I could at least have a hard ass partner. I am hoping for the former since The Odd Couple wouldn't be the best of partners in this line of work.

"Alright then, to start you both off we got a report on a missing Blue Lincoln and the owner is in great distress, think you both can handle it?" I looked at her with a smug grin before pulling Peridot out the door. "Keep up the good work ladies!"


There you have it folks! Please tell me your opinion.
