A/N: I've had this chapter written since the first one was written pretty much, which is why there was zero amounts of delay.

Pairing: Gumshoe/ Maggey

Disclaimer: I don't own Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, Miles Edgeworth... *sniffle*


Hey Super Hero

People don't realise who the real heroes are sometimes.

In Detective Dick Gumshoe's life he was surrounded by defence attorneys, prosecutors, judges, other law enforces who were all heroes in their own right.

The defended the innocent, prosecuted the guilty, and passed judgement with sound reasoning.

But what about a lowly detective who hacked it out, every day? What about Detective Dick Gumshoe who had promised a victim to the find the culprit, who promised a distraught woman that he would find her husband's killer?

Detective Dick Gumshoe didn't break promises. He always found the culprit one way or another. And this was what mattered to him. He didn't want the limelight, he didn't need it, and so he certainly didn't go looking for it.

He plodded on wordlessly, his smile faltering as he fought to keep it in place while walking out of the precinct. Just because he didn't make any enemies didn't mean he'd made close friends, try as he might.

No one really thought about the guys behind the scenes. What about the people who were respected by no one, who were treated like an idiot on a daily basis, who had their superiors abuse their power when it to them? What is one supposed to feel in that situation? Hurt? Anger?

Not Detective Gumshoe. He was grateful. He never received a compliment so nothing ever got to his head, his underlying seething pain and mistrust made it easy for him to hunt down a bad guy and stick to his guns and his complete trust in those who had earned it made him the most loyal anyone could be. All Gumshoe cared about was justice and doing his job and doing his job well.

Well, that was until he had met her, that is.

Pushing the key she had given him into the lock and twisting it he smiled in anticipation. Opening the door he smelt the familiar scent of tomato sauce and garlic.

"Hey super hero," Maggey said to him from around the corner of the kitchen, because to her, that is what he was. "How was work?"

He smiled and wasted no time in pulling his shoes off before racing to her, laughing with her as he moved to catch her as she caught her foot under a rug.

He placed a kiss on the top of her head and gently laid a protective hand on her stomach.

Smiling had become a lot easier lately.

"Oh, you know, not bad."


I hope the last part seemed cute. Maggey and Gumshoe are so adorable as a couple :D
