So many AUs!

The Officer looked at his friend with concern. “Hey, if ya have time..maybe ya can update me with your life and the things that I missed in general?” He asked.

“Have you forgotten all about me Ranger?” Is suddenly right in front of him, with her seemingly ever present coy smirk.

The Officer jumped, obviously taken by surprise. “Woah there!” It took him a few seconds to regain his composure. “Damn, don’t ever do that again! Ya almost gave me a heart attack.” He huffed.

“Ah you’re young, ya can take it.” She teased a bit giving him a slight push.

He rolled his eyes under the hat. “Last time we met, ya weren’t doing any magic tricks of the sort.” The officer had been gone for quite a while.

“Miss that puppers too.” Carmen LOVES animals.

Ask and you shall receive.

“Puppy.” Hugs the puppy.

Daisuke is looking grumpy, but his wagging tail is betraying his true emotions. He yips.

“Yeah, yeah, and I’m twelve, Pops. Yer twenty-five, that’s like, ancient history in kid years.” She snickers to herself, amused upon discovering a sore spot that could be poked later if she was feeling bored.

Bored aside, though, she was cold, and though it was a police jacket, it was warmer than expected. Even though it went past her knees.

I can practically feel the sin crawlin’ on this jacket. Or maybe that was the chills.

Pulling the sleeves up so she could see her hands again, she grinned devilishly.

“Mm, you gonna want this back or can I keep it?”

Jeremy Walker was pouting for both the comment about his age and the implication of him, losing an important part of his uniform. He rested his fists on his hips,truly  looking like a scowling mother. “Oi, I’ll have ya know that 25 years is pretty damn young in adult years! 12 years, more like foetus years.”

Serious, Walker? You’re really going to play that game with that little devil? You’re more mature than that.

And he the adult, he silently added to that trail of thought, shaking his head. “Anyway! No, you’re not gettin’ away with my jacket, ya silly goose! Just long enough until I’m buyin’ ya a jacket of your own. Which we are going to do right now! C’mon, chop, chop, I dun have all day!” The Officer replied, clapping his hands together as he said chop, chop.

“Haha, I’m used to strong drinks like this one.” The Officer replied with a big grin, resting against the arm of the couch as he crossed one of his legs, getting more comfortable. “I’m glad ya liked it! Ya will get used to the taste, if ya hang out with me more often, Dandy.” Meaning, he drinks a lot of Bourbon.

“Nah, you’re too strong for that, Dandy.” He replied, pinching his friend on the cheek. “C’mon, we’ll do this at the same time!” The Officer added, raising his own glass.

“Heh heh. Ok if ya say so.” He smiled raising his glass up to meet the others. “On three… 1, 2, 3…” And Dandy tipped his glass back, it was a bit more then a shot but that didnt stop him fry trying.

“Go!” Jeremy finished, before mirroring his friend’s action and tipping his glass back to drink all its content. It wasn’t a full glass- Bourbon was strong and the Officer only served them small portions. They were still bigger than shots, though, that was true.

“Pheww! That was some good stuff!” He grinned at Dandy.

She followed along quietly, floating nearby but far enough away that she wouldn’t make him uncomfortable. The warm air of a dying summer and the eventual potpie would warm him up, although she needed to be careful to not touch him or all the work would come undone.

She just needed to wrap herself in something, so he wouldn’t feel the chill of her ghostly skin.

“I would like that,” she replied softly, letting him kiss the top of her head. It felt nice besides and she didn’t think one little kiss to her hair would hurt him. Her hair was warmer then her skin after all.

“Shall I go to the house and wait for you?” she asked, “Or do you want me to stay nearby?”

He smiled down at her, crossing his arms behind his head. “It’s up to you, baby. You can accompany me or rest at my home. I won’t take long at the market anyway. It’s only a few minutes away from here.”

Roman secretly wanted her to join him, since he was a sucker for attention. But it wouldn’t mind, if Veil would prefer to wait for him. Like he said: it was only going to be for a short time.

“Nah, you’re too strong for that, Dandy.” He replied, pinching his friend on the cheek. “C’mon, we’ll do this at the same time!” The Officer added, raising his own glass.

“I’ll be going back to being the leader of V.I.L.E.. After dealing with Maison of course. He’ll find out the hard way what happens when you try and kill Carmen Sandiego.” She put her hands on her hips exhibiting her normal confidence again. “I had intended to just leave… but I felt bad. I know we wern’t the closest but I still thought of you as a friend.” She didn’t specifically address the question of destiny, because she still didn’t fully accept the idea. But there was no other way she could explain it. Being one that was easily bored without a challenge is what first steered her down this road. And being at the cross road again she was taking the same path. She was nothing if not consistent.

He frowned. Eveything she was saying sounded worrying and…pretty insane, if he had to admit it. The worst part was that he wasn’t really certain what she was talking about, when she was mentionning her real “job”. “I’m not yet familiar with V.I.L.E, Carmen….”

“Of course you’re not.” She let out a sigh, and realized she was going to have to spell it out. “It’s an anagram, like ICPO, only the opposite.” She then took a few steps back, she wasn’t going to take any chances. “It sands for Villains’ International League of Evil.” She didn’t really want to say more, and crossed her arms over her chest. Surly he would understand now.

It was pretty obvious at this point. Jeremy took his hands out of his pockets, staring at Carmen in disbelief. 

“You’re a crimminal!?”he exclaimed, unable to believe his own ears. “And you’re part of an organisation of crimminals!? Carmen!” The last part almost came out as a whine. The Officer didn’t know how to handle this situation. It was all too sudden. Too many things to register in a such amount of time.

“Ya can’t be serious! C’mon, quit jokin’ around! It ain’t funny!”
