@diicktective || Columbo Starter ! ( For Occuli Verse Swift ? If you want ! )

Columbo usually works alone. It’s been his manner & creed for nearly two and a half decades now. He’d have thought the department had learned that by now, gotten used to his strange investigating proclivities, but then again -- new management had cleaned house except for he and a handful of privately selected personnel. The detective didn’t have time to really ponder his situation as the cab rolled to a stop in front of a sketchy office building.

( The department had never relied on mediums and all that mumbo - jumbo before and the inclusion of one such individual turned P.I. had taken the Lieutenant back in the worst way. He’d nearly laughed the new seated chief out of his newly renovated office. Until he’d realized he was serious and been handed several hefty files full of supernatural cases that had been solved no less. That had given Columbo pause and only then had he accepted the position tasked to him. )

It gives Columbo the immediate creeps, like the old abandoned tenement buildings where he grew up in Brooklyn. Passing them used to scare the bejeezus out of he and his hooligan friends. He chews the Montecristo cigar nervously, not bothering to light it as he pays his fare and steps cautiously from the cab, onto the curbside pavement. The detective shambles slowly inside, barely even bothering to knock as he pushes on a door that is either marked ‘ Swift ‘ or ‘ Lift ‘.

1. A redraw of a film noir scene but it’s that detective Mumbo AU from last night

Grian is the femme fatale of the dynamic

2. A Blueprint for Murder is a real film noir title that I snatched whOops

3. So Grian comes in asking Mumbo for help finding his brother, NPC, who was taken by the Mafia

But oh no wait Grian is actually working for the mafia and he’s the reason why NPC isn’t there and this is all just a ploy to trap Mumbo

I think I might have like Doc or someone be the head of the mob

And don’t worry about the smoking. He’s a Minecraft man; he doesn’t have lungs

Heroes, Pt. 1

Words: 859

Characters: Willow Wren, Jessica Jones, Kilgrave, Jeri Hogarth

Prompt/Tag: “Are you sure that’s the decision you want to make?” x / @dewysbride

Summary: Willow tracks down Jessica Jones to where the P.I. has Kilgrave held prisoner

Timeline: April 2015

Song: Stayin’ Alive – Bee Gees

A/N: This is part 1/4 of this sequence! I had to split it up because it got too long.

—————————————————————————–

Two weeks.

That’s how long it had been since I had last seen Jessica.

I showed up at her apartment. Malcolm was there—sober. He tried to send me away, but then relented and asked me to dispose of a trash bag as far away as I could. I took it and burned it that night out on Coney Island.

Did she kill someone? Did someone kill her?

I called her. No reply.

I called Malcolm, again. He told me to come to the survivors’ group. That was all.

So of course, that meant I had to know what was happening. I knew it had something to do with Kilgrave. I couldn’t sit around knowing that he was still terrorizing the city—and what if Jessica was in trouble? School was on April vacation. I had all the time I needed.

Jeri Hogarth was my next lead, and that’s how I found the warehouse. She was easy to track and all I have to do is wait for a few moments before slipping in behind her. I follow her up sets of stairs and then through a set of double doors. From down the long, dark hall that turned ahead of me, I hear yelling. Kilgrave. The yelling turns to screaming and I suck in a breath and flatten myself against the tiled walls.

I’m way over my head, I shouldn’t be here, this was a mistake.

Except, I have to be here. I will see this through to the end.

“Stop, now!” Hogarth yells from down the hall.

I tune in carefully to the conversation that followed.

“This was your plan?” Hogarth asks. She seems frazzled, and I creep a little further down the hallway. Do I want to see what she’s seeing?

“My plan was to cut his balls off but now I’ll settle for a confession.” Jessica. That’s Jessica.

I reach the turn in the hall and can’t move further without someone seeing me. I didn’t have a plan beyond this. I just needed answers.

As Hogarth starts rattling off with some legal mumbo-jumbo, I slide down the wall and sit, sliding one earbud in and putting on the Bee Gees. Okay, Willow, what’s the plan now? If you leave, you can just forget about all this.

One of my sneakers squeaks on the linoleum tiles. I freeze, but Jessica and Hogarth are arguing loud enough that they don’t seem to hear. I told Marty that I was working on a school project this week. I hope that it keeps him from asking too many questions, because I don’t want him to worry. That boy already has way too much anxiety for an eighth-grader.

“I wanted to see what you had,” I hear Hogarth say.

“One juror, right? That’s all we need is one juror to believe in Kilgrave’s mind control. That’s reasonable doubt.”

“Technically. But… any video would be… would be dismissed as staged.”

A phone in the other room pings and I turn up my music as the argument turns to Hogarth’s personal life. Jessica definitely doesn’t want me here. If Kilgrave’s in there, then I don’t want to be here either.

I get up off the floor, just as footsteps cut through my music and Jessica rounds the corner. I turn to run, just as Jessica calls out “Are you sure that’s the decision you want to make?”

Yup. I’m out of here.

Her footsteps echo in the empty hall as I dash for the door, and she catches me easily just as my hand reaches out for the door. I turn to face her. “Sorry… I’m leaving.”

“Goddammit.” She sighs. “I had a feeling you’d turn up soon.”

“I’m sorry,” I say again. “But leaving. Okay?”

“No,” said Jessica. “No. I need you here. Hogarth is in there watching Kilgrave. Stay with her. Buddy system.”

“No, I—I thought you wanted me out of this, you said I was just a kid—”

“—yeah, a kid who I saw take a bullet and still manage to terrorize Forty Second. Don’t give me that bullshit.”

“So I’m in this?”

Jessica shakes her head. “Just, don’t look at him, don’t talk to him, don’t listen to him. I’ll be back in a few hours.” She steps out the door and lets it slam behind her.

You’ve got to be kidding me.

I take slow, cautious steps down the hall, and as I round the corner, I see a glass chamber and Kilgrave slumped on the floor. My stomach drops to my feet and I freeze in the hallway. He sees me and starts yelling again. Hogarth switches off his comm and throws her hands up in disbelief. “Willow?”

I’m still frozen in the hallway, watching Kilgrave pound on the glass.

“Jessica told me to stay,” I say. I take a step towards the room. And then another. You can do this, Willow. You have to.

I make it into the room and pull my gaze away from Kilgrave, refusing to give him any more attention. “Do you have money?” I ask. “Can we order a pizza or something? I’m starving.”

Zero fear.

NPC Grian from the Noir AU

Basically after Grian double-crosses Mumbo and reveals that he’s actually a part of the Mafia, Mumbo gets kinda beat up and then Grian has Doc and Etho throw him into the storage closet where NPC was all along

At first, Mumbo thinks that like, NPC is dead or something bc of the lifeless look on his face, but he quickly realizes that he’s just powered off

And so he goes to NPC and moves his hand (which is limp) to see what’s going on with him, and it wakes NPC up

NPC starts freaking out that there’s finally another person in there because he hasn’t seen another person in years

And he’s just begging Mumbo for help to get them both out of there, but like, Mumbo doesn’t have any of his stuff other than the clothes he was wearing because it was all taken from him when he was caught by the Mob
