Defense Attorney Edgeworth & Prosecutor Wright Pt.3

A/N: Swap AU.

Time passes and Maya practically becomes part of the family. One of the things Miles and Maya has bonded over was their love of the Steel Samurai show. They were currently watching the latest episode in Miles's bedroom.

"Dude, I can't believe you still live with your dad." Maya laughed, stuffing her face with popcorn.

"Don't make it sound like I'm some sort of bum. I pay for half of the utilities and expenses, so my father and I are more like roommates." Miles replied with an offended glare.

"I think I know what it is...you don't want your dad to be lonely, is that it? That's kinda sweet." Maya said, grinning.

"It must be really nice to be that close to your dad....I don't think I even remember what mine looks like anymore." she sighed, smiling sadly.

Miles attempts to comfort Maya by patting her back between her shoulders, but his movements came off a bit stiff and awkward. He was never really that good when it came to comforting others. But it did make Maya laugh, so it all worked out. After the episode was over, Miles shows Maya all his Steel Samurai merch.

"Are the gloves really necessary?" Maya asked, slightly annoyed.

"What? You have buttery fingers from all that popcorn, and I don't want fingerprints on my stuff." Miles said as if his request for the gloves was obvious.

Early one morning, Maya calls Miles in a panic. She frantically demanded that he turn on the news. When he did so, the main story on the news was about Steel Samurai star Will Powers being arrested for the murder of co-star, Jack Hammer.

"What!? Are you serious!?" Miles gasped in shock and disbelief.

"Meet me at the office! Immediately!" he told Maya.

"I'll be there A-S-A-P!" Maya replied, her tone determined.

Hurriedly, Miles gets dressed and fumbles a little putting his shoes on while walking.

"What's with all this commotion?" Gregory yawned, leaning out of his bedroom door.

"A STEEL SAMURAI EMERGENCY!" Miles shouted on his way out the front door.

"....I'm going back to bed." Gregory mumbled tiredly.

At the office, Miles and Maya discuss the situation.

"What do you think's gonna happen to the show?" Maya asked, worriedly pacing in circles.

"I'm not sure." Miles answered, nursing his cup of tea.

"Do you...think he did it?" Maya asked Miles, sitting on the side of his desk.

"No...I don't." Miles said, rubbing his chin in thought.

Then the phone rings and Maya answers it.

"Really!? He wants us to represent him!?" Maya asked excitedly to the person who called.

"Don't you worry, Mr. Edgeworth and I will take care of everything! And just to be clear, I'm referring to the young Mr. Edgeworth...not that the other Mr. Edgeworth isn't also an excellent defense attorney, just trying to make sure we're all on the same page." she told whoever was on the phone.

Maya then tells Miles that Will Powers's agent was the caller and wanted them to defend the actor.

"Mr. Powers insists he's innocent." Maya tells him.

"We totally gotta help him! The show's at stake!" she declared.

"Indeed, we must." Miles agreed.

The two of them leave the office to go meet with their newest client. Elsewhere, Wright is going about his usual morning routine; which starts by waking up at around 5:30 or 6:00, taking his asthmatic medication, having breakfast, showering, shaving, and brushing his teeth. Then he gets dressed and reads the paper or looks over some case files. He gets a call asking him to prosecute in the Will Powers trial.

"I'll take the case. By the way....who's defending?" Wright said grabbing his briefcase and car keys.

When he's told that Miles Edgeworth would be defending, Wright feels a twinge of something he couldn't exactly put words to.

"Bring everything regarding the case to my office, I'll be there shortly." Wright says before hanging up his phone.

On his way out of his home, Wright pauses, standing in front of the fireplace. He looks at a pair of ceramic urns resting side by side on the mantel. One contained the cremated remains of his father, who died when he was only an infant, the other was where his mother resided. Wright tried not to look at his mother's urn too much because it always brought up terrible memories. It was bad enough that his dreams were haunted by that horrific night, he didn't want to be tormented while awake either. He tears himself away from the mantel and exits his home.

"You know the true reason why you can't look at her urn, you fool. It's because of what you did. How much longer are you gonna deny what you did to your dear momma?" Wright's inner thoughts said.

"Shut up! It's just a nightmare." he quietly told himself, gripping the steering wheel of his car.

At the police station, Will Powers tells Miles and Maya what happened that day on set and begs them to help him. Maya suggested that they should go to the studio to investigate and so that's where they went. They were stopped at the studio's entrance gate by a security guard.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!? DON'T YOU PUNKS KNOW THIS IS A CRIME SCENE!?" the older woman shouted grumpily.

But the old woman's demeanor changes once she caught sight of Miles.

"Ohhh my! What a handsome young man you are." the security guard lady gushed, staring at Miles with heart-eyes.

This sharp contrast in behavior throws off the pair completely. Also, Miles didn't exactly feel comfortable with the way the woman was ogling him. The more the woman overtly flirted with him, the more flustered he got. Now she was hugging his arm, looking up at him and batting her eyelashes.

"Maya....help me...." Miles hissed quietly, his jaw clenched shut.

Unfortunately, Maya was too busy trying to contain her laughter, covering her mouth with both hands as snorts and giggles escaped. It was thanks to some random kid running around the studio that the security guard's attention was deterred off of him. While the old lady was shouting and raising all sorts of h*ll, Miles and Maya took the opportunity to sneak into the studio to take a look at the crime scene.
