Ace Attorney AU one shots

Frozen rescue

(Warning: contains some very mild PhoenixXEdgeworth)

The winter winds blew across the streets. The bare trees seemed like they would lose their branches and the river rushed along, it's ripples crashing loudly like thunder. It was then where a certain spiky-haired attorney sighed, glaring at the freezing water beyond the security rails.

How come the river decides to go on a joy ride in the middle of January? Phoenix thought as he glared to the surging water.

"Niiiiiiick!" A voice then cut into his thoughts as Phoenix snapped back to reality.

"Huh?" The lawyer cooed as he locked his blue eyes onto the orange-clad blonde before him.

"Did you even hear what I said?!?" The other man snapped, offended by Phoenix's short attention span.

"Uh......" Phoenix started, then pulled a sheepish grin, rubbing the back of his head the same way he does in court "N-not really! Sorry Larry!"

Larry pouted as a silver haired man gave a sigh "Honestly Wright, how low is your attention span? It almost rivals Gumshoe's."

"H-hey!" Phoenix studdered, giving a pathetic glare to the man in the maroon suit. Despite having saved the man from getting convicted, Miles Edgeworth still had the same bitter attitude towards Phoenix. I wish that he would lighten up a little....hell I saved his fancy ass from the death sentence! Twice!  "I was just admiring the scenery! That's all!" He protested.

Edgeworth smirked at the attorney  "I highly doubt it. You tend to do the same in court."

Phoenix then shot Edgeworth a glare "Oh shut up Edg-"

Phoenix was then cut off by a high pitched scream. All three men widened their eyes as they looked at each other with a distressed look "What on earth was that?!?" The man in maroon demanded, his already pale face even paler to the point where he looked like a ghost.

Larry then pointed to one of the trees "NICK! EDGEY! Up there! Someone's stuck in that tree!"

The two attorneys then snapped their heads to where Larry was pointing at. Surely enough, to Phoenix's shock, a young boy was up there, his shirt was stuck in one of the branches. The branch itself was slightly broken, swaying slightly as if to threaten the three men that it will snap and let the boy fall into the Frozen river below. Just what is that kid doing up there?!?

"H-HELP!" The boy screamed, his voice was incredibly loud for a kid. Phoenix could see that the little guy was crying as well.

I can't just stand here and watch him fall! I have to help him! Phoenix screamed in his head as he took action "Larry! Get up on that tree and try to bring him down! Use one of the lower branches!" He ordered Larry in an assertive voice, making the blonde flinch from the sudden change of tone. Larry then gave a brisk nod, then climbed up the tree. Phoenix then turned to the Prosecutor, whom was frozen in shock "Miles!" Phoenix snapped, using Edgeworth's first name as it was easier to say in this situation. Edgeworth's attention quickly reverted towards him, his gray eyes locking onto Phoenix's blue ones "You have a med kit in your car right? Go get it! He might be hurt!" He told Miles as Phoenix turned around and went towards the boy, but remained on ground level "I'll catch him if I have to!"

Edgeworth gave one stiff look at Phoenix "I hope you know what you're doing Wright...I'm...counting on you two to bring this boy to safety." He told as calmly as he could before running off.
