Yay for me. It's from a land community I belong to

caperland. I won for writing a short 100 - 250 word fic based on a teaser written for an episode written for a different series. I used Spies are not taught how to deal with aliens. Of the extraterrestrial sort, anyways. which was a teaser written for the "Signals and Codes" episode of burn Notice. I changed 'Spies' to 'FBI Agents" and wrote a White Collar fic.

Title: Not as Cool
Fandom(s): White Collar
Characters: Peter Burek, Neal Caffery, Moz
Genre: Gen
Word Count: 250
Disclaimer: Fanfic, for fun, not profit.
Summary: It should surprise no one that Moz has an unusual take on a case.

"It wasn’t a UFO," Peter repeated. He didn't hide his exasperation.

"Like I'm going to believe 'The Man' about UFOs." Moz put air quotes around "The Man".

"It wasn't a UFO, Moz." Neal tossed an icepack to Peter.

"But it shattered windows from halfway down the block."

"Come on, Moz. You and I can both shatter glass with the right sonic pitch." Neal flexed his shoulder and winced.

"It looked like a UFO."

"It was a helicopter drone." Peter held the icepack against his jaw. "Remote controlled. It was a distraction so they could escape."

"You mean, a distraction so the aliens could escape."

"They weren't aliens!" The headache Moz was giving him began to hurt more than his jaw.

"I'm sure that's what you'll put in your 'official report'." The air quotes were back. "How are you going to explain that you shot it and it had glowing green blood?"

Neal leaned back in the sofa, still rubbing his shoulder. "Moz has a point. How do you explain glowing, green blood?"

Peter groaned. "It wasn't blood. It was…" He trailed off, rubbing his neck. It had been green and glowing. And it had looked familiar.

"Ha!" Moz grinned. "I knew--"

Peter cut him off. "It wasn't blood. It was chemiluminescence."

Neal sat up. "The demonstration at Bradley Industries."

Peter grabbed his coat. "They have an experimental aviation division." He was halfway to the door, Neal right behind.

Moz's voice followed them out. "That's not as cool as aliens!"
