A/N: I'm a huge fan of DC and this is my first DC fanfic. Sorry if this totally sucks or is totally improbable, I just wanted to get this idea out in the open. Constructive criticism is welcomed as well as reviews and comments. If you really want to flame this, please give good enough reason why and do not be outright rude.

It was another muggy day in Beika, Japan. Traffic was slow, cars were stuffy. Conan was on his way back to the house of Mouri Kogoro and his daughter, Ran – the place he currently called 'home'. He had been over visiting Agasa Hakase and Haibara Ai. The only time he could truly feel like himself – his real self, Kudou Shinichi – was when he was in the company of his overweight inventor/neighbor/friend and the young scientist-turned-child.

There had still been no new leads on the Black Organization or the antidote to his 'condition'. His so-called 'condition' was that he, at the young age of seventeen, ingested what was believed to be a fatal, undetectable poison but turned out to only be undetectable with an interesting – and highly annoying – side effect; his body was now that of a seven-year-old's. The brilliant teen detective Kudou Shinichi, was no more. In his place appeared the equally brilliant child, Edogawa Conan. With glasses as a disguise and gadgets to aid him, Shinichi continues his search for the Black Organization under the false name of Edogawa Conan.

In order to keep his childhood friend – and basically 'love-of-his-life' – out of harms way, he kept secret what happened to him. In order to gather clues more easily, Agasa came up with the idea of him staying with Ran, whose father is a Private Investigator – albeit a bad one.

The only people who know of what truly happened to Kudou Shinichi are Agasa Hakase, his parents, Osakan teen detective Hattori Heiji, Kaitou Kid, and Haibara Ai.

No matter how much of a low-profile life he wants to lead so he can find the crime syndicate, crime follows him like a lost dog.

There Conan sat, in the passenger seat of Agasa's old Volkswagen Beetle, brooding over his situation.

"Aw. C'mon Shinichi! Cheer up! Gin and Vodka can't stay hidden forever." The white haired inventor tried in vain to cheer up the 'child'.

"Sure seems like forever." Conan muttered. Agasa glanced at Conan through the corner of his eye while he kept his main focus on the road. A small smile twitched his lips upward.

"I was going to give it to you later on…but…" He hesitated; he could tell Shinichi's curiosity had perked up even though he was trying his best not to show it. The car stopped at a red light. Giving it one more thought, the doctor gave in. "Oh what the hell. What harm could it do?"

The light turned green and Agasa tapped the gas. "It's in the glove compartment." he said.

Conan leaned forward to open the small box in front of him, but couldn't reach. Cursing his shortened limbs, he unbuckled his seat belt. Agasa watched, waiting to see the young detective's expression. Conan was just about to flip the small lock when something caught his eye. His eyes widened in horror and he yelled, "Look out!!"

Agasa quickly turned back to the road just in time to see an SUV hurtling towards them. On instinct alone, Agasa quickly swerved to the left, scraping against the side of the vehicle. There was no time for relief when a telephone poll suddenly made it's presence directly in front of them. Agasa quickly hit the brakes, jolting forward and hitting his head on the steering wheel.

Conan, however, didn't have anything keeping him in the car, and went flying through the windshield. He landed with a thump three meters away.

People flocked around the crash site, those who weren't frozen in shock calling the paramedics.

Agasa groaned from where he leaned hunched over the steering wheel, blood trickled down his cheek.

Conan lay unconscious on the hard cement, bleeding from multiple gashes caused by the glass.

About four feet in front of him, his glasses lay forgotten.
