Hm. You know, nobody's brought up the Great Spy Games Mega-Crossover before.

Rally Cheyenne is in Miami working a case, trying to bring down an Italian drug kingpin. Unfortunately her only lead's just gotten taken out by Noir, and
she's gotten hints that someone from an Italian intelligence group called the 'Social Welfare Agency' is in town. So she leans on an old FBI buddy
(Sam Axe) for some extra muscle, and he brings in his new pal, Michael Weston. Unfortunately, Mike's currently busy dealing with some problems for an old
friend of /his/, from Afghanistan, name of Sagara.... Dirk Pitt, slumming after a long mission, is in the bar chatting up a hot French blonde named Mireille
when the gunplay starts, and who but Arsene Lupin would pick that week to steal the Italian fellow's payoff? Of course, it doesn't hurt that Leverage
Consulting has been contracted by one of our drug lord's victims, either, and they're starting to get a little nervous with all of this going on...

And where was Derek Flint in all this? Oh, that's right, he was chatting up Yomiko Readman, Felicity Shagwell, the Major, and Emma Peel --
simultaneously....

When you say "The Major" do you mean Motoko Kusanagi?

By the way, I would SOOOO read this, as the very idea is filled with WIN!

I assume he did, yes. And of course in the midst of all this commotion, Miami-Dade Police Department is taking notice, and Horatio Caine's CSI team has gotten picked to investigate the death of a man who turns out to have been Rally's lead.
And a certain Canadian Mountie and his CPD partner have headed South from Chicago to talk to Rally about an apparently completely unrelated case...
And, well, John McClaine's just trying (and once again failing) to have a nice, quiet vacation.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Billionaire Playboy Bruce Wayne and his young ward, Dick Grayson are attending a demonstration of Wayne Industries'
latest gewgaw. Unbeknownst to them, Professor William Omaha McElroy, on vacation, is about to be beaned by an errant piece of the latest exploding CSI SUV.

An odd bit of evidence turned up by the Miami-Dade CSI puzzles them so much that one team member sends out an email to several other CSI teams around the
country. In New York city none of the team members could make sense of the geometric design micro-etched on the metal wafer. But through a series of unlikely
events a copy of the enlarged photo makes its way into one of the least known divisions of the NYPD. Three hours later detectives Pat Tuesday and George Frankly are packing quickly for a red
eye flight to Miami. Whether Horatio Caine knows it yet or not, MathNet is on the case. (Pictures from a MathNet fan site)

Will the transhumanist future have catgirls? Does Japan still exist? Well, there is your answer.
It occurs to me that Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuryakin are missing from all this. Also Harry Palmer, Quiller, George Smiley.... For that matter, since we're including police, Chief Ironside and Mister Tibbs might be of some use.
Oh, and yes, "the Major" I referred to is Motoko. (Called "the Major," crime/espionage fiction, gorgeous female [or Flint wouldn't put moves on her]... I'm not aware of anyone else who matches those parameters.)

Well, if we're including agents, John Steed and Emma Peel should make an appearance, too.

As should John Drake. And "Number 6", if he isn't the same person.

(Heck, ship them all to The Village for a weekend...)

Unfortunately, they were sharing a drink in a hotel bar when all hell broke loose.

Meanwhile John Steed and Emma Peel mistakenly answer a phone call for Ant-Man, Wasp, Thor, Iron Man, and The Hulk...

...and a young man answering to the name "Dominic Loricatus" arrives in the nearby airport, seeking to do penitence for his sins.
Guys, this sucker's getting ready to achieve critical mass. Suggest we give this bunny a home on the forum and continue serious work from there?
I don't know.... I think the cast has gotten too large to be workable. It reminds me of a supposedly true incident when a guy made the mistake of
burglarizing a house and tripping the silent alarm ... across the street from a police station. During shift change. Twenty-some
officers were in on the arrest, and they quoted the burglar as exclaiming in shock, "Police! My God, all the police!"

Hm. My first instinct: Drop the superheroes. This is supposed to be a very grey bunch of people, not four-color folk.

The best way to write it would probably be to plan out a timeline of events, then write it as vignettes, from various points of view, along the timeline.

I think the idea was Usagi found a schmancy new ring, though green is more Makoto's color.

rings.
