Disclaimer: I own not either Spiderman or Detective Conan. I simply thought it'd be awfully cool if they met. So basically, my vision of what's really cool is distorted.
And I'm pretty sure Kuroba Kaito is the same age as Shin'ichi and goes to a different high school, but I don't care. So this is a different AU in a way. Oh, and Yaiba is in high school here, but only for reference and cameo. I think that's all Kaito will be.
Summary: Peter Parker, meet Kudo Shin'ichi. Or more the mystery of what the heck happened to him. Spiderman, meet Edogawa Conan. Or more be scared the heck out of by him.
Chapter One
He really needed a break.
Of course, life just sneered at him when he tried to take one.
Aunt May, in all her kindness, had saved up to help Peter out for the field trip to Japan. A few months ago, he would've loved to go. Now, though…
There wasn't much to keep him behind. The crime rate in New York might go up, but it wasn't like somebody would try to take over the world if Spiderman left. Green Goblin was gone, hopefully for good, and he could use a vacation.
He just hated to leave his aunt behind.
The fact that the crime rate had, indeed gone up wasn't helping.
Jonah Jameson, eat your heart out. There was going to be no sign of Spiderman for a month.
Because he was going.
The High School in the city they were going to was offering to set up an unorthodox if useful solution to the problems of where everybody was going to stay. Various people whose sons and daughters went to Teitan High in Beika City were opening their homes for a student to stay there.
Upon reaching the high school, everyone was assigned a buddy. Local students gave Flash Thompson a pitying look when he was assigned to Kurogane Yaiba. Peter briefly wondered why.
Thompson's ex-girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, was assigned to Kurogane's girlfriend. Apparently Yaiba lived with his dad on the same property as his girlfriend's family. He felt a little sorry for Flash.
The moment passed of course, and Peter decided it was nothing less than the bully deserved.
There was a discrepancy with Peter, however. He was going to stay with a Kudo Shin'ichi, but apparently he had disappeared a few months back. Shin'ichi's family was supposedly out of the country, anyways. Shin'ichi lived alone.
So he was going to stay with Kudo's best friend instead.
Peter's girlfriend, Mary Jane, stayed by his side and while they waited for their respective 'buddies'.
Two girls sought them out through the crowd with the help of a teacher.
"Hello. M-my name is Ran Mouri." The first girl said in stuttering English. "I'm a friend of Kudo."
'His friend is a girl?' He wondered silently. The other girl said something that seemed teasing in Japanese, and Ran looked peeved. "Mou! SONOKO!" She yelled in reply.
Mary Jane cleared her throat loudly. Miss Mouri and her friend were startled. The other girl asked something in Japanese, and Ran translated. "She wants to know if you're Miss Watson."
"Yes, I am. Is she Suzuki Sonoko?"
So that was the other girl's name.
"She is. You must be who she is 'buddy' with, yes?" Ran seemed decent with her English, but not exactly fluent.
A strangely accented voice broke out in Japanese behind them. An American woman walked around them. Then, in English, she introduced herself. "Hi! I'm Teitan High's English teacher. My name is Jodie Saintmillion!"
Peter was a bit thrown off by her enthusiasm. "Uh, hi."
"You're Peter Parker, right? Right?" She nudged him for an answer.
"Yeah, that's me."
"Oh, wonderful! We DO have a common acquaintance, you know. I believe you've met a business associate of mine, a certain Nicholas Fury?"
Upon seeing him stiffen at the name, she discreetly pulled a FBI badge out of her pocket partially. He relaxed a bit, still a little wary.
"Your English is getting much better, Ran! I was expecting better from you, though, Sonoko."
"Arigato, Jodie-sensei." Said Ran. Sonoko just sulked.
So while Peter mulled over the strange events in his head, there was a line break and a cameo.
LINE BREAK
Akako watched as one of the Americans was chased by a shorter teenager carrying a sword. What was his name? Kurogane something? A giant frog chased both of them.
She leaned over to a classmate of hers. "Don't you love our school, Keiko?"
Keiko grinned as they watched Aoko chasing Kaito. Two teenagers, one a boy with blue hair and another female with white streaks in her hair stared, confused. (Cookies to anyone who guesses the Marvel cameo's identity!)
"Yup. I love our school."
LINE BREAK
Ran's father, Mouri Kogoro, lazily glared at Peter. The kid standing next to Kogoro had a very similar glare.
Something about that kid gave him cold chills. "Uh, so is this your little brother, Miss Mouri?"
"N-no. I am…what is word…" Jodie whispered something in her ear. "Ah! Guardian! That is the word." She smiled apologetically. "This is Conan Edogawa. I am watching him for a family friend." She asked Conan a question in Japanese, and he replied slightly nervously. "Conan used to live in America, and he says he knows a little English."
The kid, Conan, was glaring at him a little more after that. "My name is Conan. Yours is?"
He scratched his head nervously. "Peter Parker." Suddenly, there was a scream. "Mary!" He ran in the direction of the scream, where a classmate of his was on the floor convulsing. The classmate's name-what was it? He wracked his brain, finally coming up with Dan Greene.
Poor Greene stopped moving. Conan dropped to check the pulse.
"He's dead."
