Albert on Gordon, Carmen on Cobra, and Carmen on Gordon too if you want.

Albert on Gordon

[doitrockapella]

Well, first and foremost, Albert likes having Gordon around, regardless of the eye-rolling he does and aspirin he consumes on a regular basis. For one thing, he knows he can trust Gordon and it's good to have support and familiarity in a place that Albert hates so much; for another, there's a certain sort of comfort in having his boss there, because then it's a little less like ALBERT AND COOP ON A STUPID BRO ADVENTURE and more like "oh, our office got displaced and we're working on a new case in a strange land". Gordon's presence maintains that sort of inherent structural hierarchy, and for all Albert's grumpiness and complaining, that's something he really appreciates a lot. Gordon is a good boss to work for.

(Also that's one more person helping him keep an eye on Coop, but hey.)

Granted, dealing with Gordon is still dealing with Gordon, and results in plenty of inanity and headaches and aspirin consumption, so it's decidedly not all sunshine and roses. He still gets frustrated with Gordon and sometimes wants to beat his head against the wall, but hey, that's Albert and Gordon. What can you do. c:

Carmen on Cobra

[doitrockapella]

Having read your thing about Cobra on Carmen, I think the sentiment is frankly pretty mutual. Cobra is a really interesting case with Carmen because on one hand, she underestimates his capability to really be a viable threat — she's inclined to write him off as a complete idiot and just sort of humor him without actually believing he's competent enough to accomplish any sort of villainy. But that also results in her being kind of interested in him because he really does seem to understand her on a level a lot of other people don't, and so in that she has a tendency to see him as sort of a guy who might've been a henchman of hers if he were from her world. So from her perspective, their relationship sort of swings back and forth between her thinking he's a complete fucking idiot and she can't stand him as far as she can throw him, and her finding it hilarious to talk to him because he's fun to poke and also gets the need for jetpack hang-gliders like NO ONE ELSE.

And she's honestly a little unsure about the whole El Zorua thing (she's not one to let someone else take credit for what she does, even if that someone else is herself), but he's so mad about it that it's kind of funny as hell, and so she'll let it perpetuate for the time being.

Carmen on Gordon

CARMEN LOVES GORDON. The fact that she's taken to calling him "Chief" is living proof of that; he actually reminds her a whole lot of her old boss, the Inspector, and given Coop's habit of calling her "Detective" (and trying to persuade her to go back to the side of good), there's a lot of nostalgia attached to her interactions with Gordon. She thinks he's great and really likes to talk to him, but she'd be a little hesitant about having him find out about her ACTUAL career because his opinion means a lot to her and it was hard enough dealing with Coop finding out and risking him disliking her because of it. So she's pretty content to keep being The Elusive Detective Sandiego in Gordon's eyes, and she definitely sees him as a sort of boss/mentor/fatherly kind of figure, too.
