Weapons Of Lethality

Disclaimer: This wonderful idea for a crossover between Arrow and Lethal Weapon comes from Andrus Tolero on Twitter last night! Set early season 2 after 'Broken Dolls' for Arrow and about 3 years after the second season of Lethal Weapon. Riggs/Cahill is also a new but nicely growing thing as well.

Summary: Some new transfers to the SCPD has left Quentin a bit… Concerned.

"Frank! Please tell me you're not serious!" Demanded to know Officer Quentin Larry Lance as he barged into the man's office at the Glades Precinct.

Causing the man to look up at him. "Depends on what it is you're talking about exactly."

"Riggs and Murtaugh!"

Pike sighed while thinking to himself that he owed Hilton a 30 now for a bet he'd lost in regards to Lance's reaction and how long it'd take the man to confront him over the fact that Martin Riggs and Roger Murtauugh of the LAPD had been transferred to them. Now if it hadn't of been for a favor Pike owed Avery from back in their College days, he never would have agreed to do it. Especially since the exploits of the two partners were essentially legendary and seen as tales of caution by this point in time. And last Pike heard, Avery was still dancing up a storm over getting the two walking disasters out of his city! "We all know LA's still in recovery after Riggs' little war nearly 4 years later!" Ranted the former Detective.

Said war being one that Riggs had begun during his second year with Murtaugh as his partner. Said war being one that he started after DEA Agent Palmer had been brutally murdered by a Mafia family with Cartel connections. The man had very nearly ended up being thrown off the force and almost banned from the state of California for causing so much damage in his war with the Mafia family to get payback for Palmer. A war that saw the end of that particular Mafia family and even the Cartel they had been connected with. "Look, I get your concern, I really do. But they're here, so you're just gonna have to deal with it. Besides, I've made sure to press the fact that this city can't afford any kind of high amount of damage after the Undertaking."

"You mean the same Undertaking that cost me a rank despite the fact my involvement in helpin' stop it for the most part?" And that still rankled the former Detective a great deal.

"Exactly." Replied Pike. Knowing full well that the decision to do that had greatly pissed off a number of people, including himself since Nudocerdo had been a complete prick about Lance's involvement with the Hood to stop Merlyn's plan.

Which was a clear sign to the LT that he was clearly in the not so dearly departed Malcolm Merlyn's pockets but so far hadn't been able to prove it. Of course he had thought about asking Quentin to ask his hooded friend but had so far resisted the temptation where that was concerned. Lance just grumbled an unintelligible remark. "Be that as it may, even with you tellin' them that, its still a bad idea havin' them here!"

"Aww, Rog, I don't think this guy likes havin' us here!" Came a voice that Lance really wasn't wanting to hear at the moment!

"Now Riggs, its entirely possible he's just not used to the presence you have about you. I mean… It does take some getting used too."

"Aww, I feel so flattered. I can't wait to tell Cahill and Trish about this!"

Lance just shook his head at the two while Pike just looked amused. "This is gonna end horribly, I just know it." Muttered the former Detective.

"For the record, chaos follows Riggs around like its a puppy in bad need of attention. I'm just there when it happens."

A snort escaped the hard believer of Law. "I'm sure we'll keep that in mind quite well. But in the mean time, keep a leash on it while Quentin here shows you around the city."

An eager look flashed over Riggs' face while Lance looked at Pike in horror. "Did you hear that, Rog? We get a tour guide! I feel really special right now." Said the man and gaining an amused chuckle from his friend and partner.

"Frank! You can't be serious!"

"Oh, but I am. These two have a remarkable relationship with the law and its one I think you can benefit from."

"Yeah? When will that be!? When I'm jumpin' outta windows, bein' shot at, or God knows what!?"

"For the record, I'd like to point out that kinda stuff doesn't always happen to us. Sometimes, a case ends up being a perfectly normal thing." Roger told the frustrated man calmly.

It was known too that Roger practically prayed for cases like that as well. And with that Hood guy running around, he honestly hoped the more crazier crap would happen to that guy instead of him so his transfer here would be even easier on him! Lord knows it was a huge adjustment for not only him, but his whole family too. Riggs of course, had just taken it in stride since at this point, he was still living in that trailer of his despite how often he was starting to stay at Cahill's place. And boy had that been a conflict of interest in the older Detective's view considering how long she'd been his partner's therapist before things got a little more intimate between the two of them! Lance took a look at the man for a moment before speaking. "You'll have to forgive me if that doesn't exactly fill me with confidence."

"After a few days of bein' around us, I'm sure you'll have plenty of confidence to spare! Now, where's a good place around here to get a burger cause I've got a serious craving for some good ol' cow?"

"And what you know, makes for a happy Maureen Cahill?" Roger asked rhetorically.

Riggs just pointed at him and nodded with a smile. "Somethin' like that."

Lance turned around to give his LT a pleading look but the man was firm. "Happy guiding, Quentin." Was all he said.

Making for a quite disgruntled former Detective! "Yeah… Right." He'd never drink again if this whole tour guide thing didn't get him killed on the first day!

Turning around, the man gave the two former LAPD Detectives a resigned look. "Come on, I'll show ya to Big Belly Burger." And walked in between them to get the Hell out of Pike's office while grumbling under his breath.

"Hmm… Rog…"

"Yeah, Partner?"

"I think this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship with that man."

Roger just shook his head with a chuckle and followed his partner out the door to go after their guide. Leaving Pike on his own. "I really hope I don't regret this."

Author's Notes: Not sure who to pity more, Pike or Lance!
