Disclaimer: Oh, how I wish... but no.
A/N: Wow, I'm so happy you guys all liked it! When I offered to do Alex v. Detective Eames I went, "Eh, maybe they'll want it. I guess I'll write it on vacation and post it when I get back in August..." and then you all asked for it, so I figured what the heck. Here you go.

Detective Eames was short, but nobody noticed. She filled up a room with her conviction and her mere presence. She looked cynical, and would be the first person you'd pick out of a crowd if you were looking for a cop.
Alex was short, and it bothered her. She wore high heels to make herself feel taller, especially around her giant of a partner. She was hard to miss, too, but because she brought a vibrancy to the room, an air of liveliness that never went overlooked, but it screamed 'look at me' in a totally different way.
Detective Eames was hard, jaded, intelligent, and strong. She backed up her partner at the drop of a hat, often playing good cop to his insane cop. She felt undervalued at times, like Goren was the only one people noticed, and she resented him for it sometimes. It wasn't easy to do what she did, but she bore up under the strain because she knew both her reputation and that of the department depended on it.
Alex was smart, strong-willed, open, and kind. She often questioned her partner's methods, wondering if he should have seen something coming or if he cared about the position he put her in with Deakins. She understood that she while she was merely a better than average cop with the ability to understand her partner when nobody else could, he was the real genius. She also understood that he couldn't work without her, and she worried about his sanity if she couldn't help him.
Detective Eames was proper, calling everyone what protocol demanded. The only times she called her partner by his first name was when she thought he needed grounding. She'd grown up in a family of cops, and she'd had regulations drilled into her head since the day she first declared she wanted to be a cop herself, including the unwritten one about not falling for your partner. It didn't matter, because she was married to the department, with no time for a boyfriend.
Alex called people what they asked her to call them. She called her partner Bobby because he reminded her of her brothers, and because she was trying to convince him that they were friends, that she cared. She knew how to handle men with badges, and she enjoyed being able to be one of the guys, even as she worried that nobody saw her as a woman. She didn't need a boyfriend, because she had Bobby, and really, after him, anyone else would be uninteresting.
Alex and Detective Alexandra Eames shared the same body about equally. Detective Eames was the persona lifted into place when she walked into work every morning, and discarded when she left. Alex was the one who took care of the home life, who liked movies, and occasionally did undercover work. The only constant between them was Bobby. Detective Robert Goren. They both loved, and it brought them closer together.
A/N: I think Alex and Det. Eames are closer together than Bobby and Det. Goren. Eh, whatever, hope you liked it.
