For StarPurpleandBlue. She asked for Kohza/Vivi and got Secret Service/President AU. I tried my best to make it original with such a canon AU XD
Vivi walked through the White House nervously adjusting her suit. She was well used to walking down the hallowed halls by now, but she still always felt the history and weight of her position press upon her as she rushed to the Oval Office. She walked quickly, nodding to her fellow secret service agents as she walked as much dignity as she could while trying to make her meeting with the president on time.
It was the first time she'd be meeting President Kohza, and she really didn't want to make a poor impression on him on their first meeting. She was in charge of the Fraud and Counterfeiting branch of the Secret Service, and Vivi loved her job. Many of the cases she dealt with involved true criminal masterminds, and it was a rush to take down large organizations like Baroque Works, who could and cripple the economy of the entire country.
Vivi smoothed down her hair and bit her lip, wishing she had a mirror. Her frantic race to get here could not have done her pinned-up hair any good. Luckily Pell, who had helped train her, nodded at her to let her know everything was in place. He smiled fondly as he knocked on the door to let the president know she had arrived.
She entered the room gracefully, letting none of her earlier frazzled nerves show. President Kohza rose from his desk to greet her properly. He was more commanding in person than he had been on television, his presence seeming to fill the room. Vivi smiled at him as she entered, hoping he would be more understanding that a woman could handle her job than the last idiot had been.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Special Agent Nefertari," President Kohza said, shaking her hand firmly, "I really appreciate the work you do for us all."
"It's an honor, Mr. President. I look forward to working for you, sir." Vivi smiled sweetly and took the seat offered to her.
"Now, I know about how your department works, but it isn't what one typically thinks of when they think of the Secret Service. What should I know about it?" Vivi was silent for a moment, considering President Kohza, wondering if this was a test of some sort. He smiled politely at her, and she decided it didn't matter.
"Well, our department investigates counterfeit and fraud, which with the internet and more sophisticated printers, are becoming larger issues that threaten the stability of-."
Vivi's words were cut off as an explosion rocked the building, drowning out her voice. She reacted before the sound had even died out, leaping over the desk and tackling President Kohza to the ground. The doors burst open as other agents came running in, guns drawn, quickly surrounding them
After checking that the president was unharmed, Vivi slipped off him and left him in the care of the others. She was the highest ranking agent in the White House today, so she took a breath and pushed aside the instinctive desire to panic.
"We're on lockdown. Get him to the safe room immediately," she said and turned to Pell as the others began .
"Ma'am, the passage to the safe room is blocked."
Vivi pursed her lips and sighed. "Let's hold up here for now then. Mr. President, I'm going to have to ask you to remain under the desk, do you understand?" President Kohza raised a brow but complied, looking a bit annoyed.
"I suppose there is no choice. I hate being useless." He grimaced. "Can I have a gun at least?" Vivi looked at him sceptically before remembering he was a veteran. Multiple tours, if she recalled correctly. She pulled out her spare gun and passed it to him silently. She looked at him questioningly when he laughed.
"Nothing, just wondering where you managed to hide both of those," he said, glancing over her professional suit. Vivi ignored him and directed the men to get into position to best defend the room. "If I may, why are you in charge? I would have thought it would be Pell. You might outrank him, but you're part of the tamer branch, are you not?"
Vivi laughed, taking position right in front of the desk. "You may be important, sir, but people are less likely to try to assassinate the president than they are to resist arrest. We see plenty of action in the 'tamer' branch, far more than those watching people in fancy clothes discuss politics. Sir."
"Vivi just personally oversaw an operation that took out one of the largest criminal organizations in the country," Pell said softly, "I believe she shot the leader herself, when he threatened to set off a bomb, attempting to kill hundreds of people." His tone was even, but Vivi could tell he was proud and beamed at him. He paused as he finally got a status update on the radio. "They have caught the intruders, ma'am. The threat has passed." Vivi sighed in relief.
"Back to the doors, boys. One of you go get confirmation the threat has completely passed. We'll wait here until we get confirmation." The other agents nodded and left, weapons at the ready, Pell remaining where he was.
"I think you failed to mention a few things in your description of what you do," President Kohza said dryly, emerging from under the desk.
"Well, I didn't exactly get to finish." Vivi smiled at him.
"True, I guess we should get down to business then. So..." A flash of movement outside the window caught Vivi's eyes, and she aimed without thinking, firing when she saw a weapon pointed straight at them, tackling President Kohza to the ground once again, trusting Pell to take care of the follow up if any were required.
She scrambled off him, shoving him back under the desk despite his protests. Vivi stood, purposely making a target of herself, scanning for more trouble. Pell drew up to the window, looking down at the screaming man.
"You got him in the right shoulder. He'll probably make it, but he won't be able to aim that gun," Pell reported, "Agents have arrived and are taking him into custody now."
Vivi reach out a hand to help President Kohza up. He accepted gratefully, smiling at her.
"Maybe I should request to have you transferred. After today, I'm certain I'd be safe in your hands. You can tackle me as much as you'd like." He winked at her, and Vivi blushed bright red, snatching back her gun and storming to the door, this time determined to clear the place herself. She firmly ignored Pell's smirk as she shot orders off to the other agents, uncharacteristically brusque. He might not brush off her skills the last president, but she had a feeling that the charming, insufferable President Kohza could complicate her life quite nicely if he chose.
