What if Haru was Shukichi's twin and became a PSB Officer?
I made him Shukichi's twin so he's around Scotch's age
When you die, you're supposed to remain dead. Unless you become a zombie. Michael Leo Field, despite reading articles that said that zombie viruses are impossible, believed in the possibility of there being a zombie apocalypse. It's not like he'd ever be there to struggle to survive the zombie apocalypse because he died. And he was certainly not a zombie.
That meant that he was supposed to stay dead. Staying dead meant that you shouldn't be able to breathe. You shouldn't be able to move. You shouldn't be able to see. You shouldn't be able to hear. You shouldn't be able to smell. You shouldn't be able to feel, through both physical touch and emotionally.
But he was experiencing those things. That meant he was alive. But he couldn't be alive. He died and when you die, you're supposed to stay dead. No, he was definitely not in denial. No, he was definitely not panicking. Maybe he was actually a zombie?
He was now a baby that had just been born. He was being held in one arm of his mother and another baby was held in her other arm. He rubbed his eyes with tiny fists, trying to focus his vision. He looked towards his mother, this time his sight much clearer. 'It's Sera Mary, Akai's mother!'
"What are we going to name the twins?" A man that he recognized as Akai Tsutomu asked. In his arms was a four year old boy with short, wavy, black hair and green eyes. That boy was Akai Shuichi.
"The older one has your dark hair," Mary tiredly answered. Of course she would be tired, she had just given birth to two kids. "His name will be Akai Shukichi,"
"Isn't that too similar to Shuu's name though?" Tsutomu sweat-dropped.
"I like it!" Shuichi smiled.
"I guess you have Shuu's approval for the name," Tsutomu chuckled. "What about the blonde one?"
"Akai Mitsuharu," Mary informed.
"Kichi, Haru," Shuichi called to his new baby brothers. "I'm Shuu, your big brother!"
'Oh my god, I can't believe Akai was this adorable when he was a kid!' The newly named Haru thought. 'I can't believe he grows up to be the FBI's Silver Bullet!' After a couple more minutes, Michael Leo Field finally came into terms that he had been reincarnated into the Detective Conan World as Akai Mitsuharu, the younger twin brother of Akai Shukichi.

Life in England was rather peaceful, though it took a while for Haru to get used to the British slang and terms. After all, in the Real World he had lived all seventeen years of his life in Hawaii. Thankfully English was his first language and also the language of England.
At around three years old, they were introduced to Tsutomu's friend, Haneda Yasuharu, his friend's wife, Haneda Ichiyo, and their son, Haneda Kohji. The three brothers quickly befriended the future shogi Meijin, though it was obvious that Shukichi was the closest to Kohji. Haru didn't mind and often stuck around Shuichi while the two were hanging out. Kohji was like a cousin to them and his parents were like an uncle and aunt, despite having no blood relations.
Tsutomu taught his sons Japanese. Haru struggled the most but with extra tutoring from Shuichi, he succeeded in his lessons. Haru studied extra hard in order to make his family proud of him. Shukichi and Kohji often played shogi together and the length of their matches increased each time they challenged each other. Kohji ended up winning a majority of the rounds.
When the twins started school, classes were easy and Haru was often bored, staring out the window after he finished the day's lesson. 'Now I know how Conan feels,'
More years passed and the news of Kohji's death came. Haru stared at the television screen in horror. 'I knew he was going to die! I-I've been distracted by this peaceful life! Kohji died seventeen years before the start of the series! Why didn't I stop him!? I'm so selfish! I should've kept track of the plot! I could've saved him!'
He was struck in the chest once again when Tsutomu went missing and the family had to move to Japan. Haru kept on blaming himself, thinking that he should've stopped Tsutomu from going to the US. During the plane ride to Japan, he made a vow to not be useless anymore. He thought of joining the FBI but he didn't want to be a distraction to Akai. He decided that he would join the Japanese Public Security Bureau.

"It's been a while, Shuichi-niisan," Shukichi greeted, approaching his elder brother with Masumi by his side.
"Yeah, about seven years, right?" Akai slightly turned his head in their direction. "Mitsuharu's not with you?"
"That's weird," Shukichi glanced around. "I could've sworn he was with us when we came to the beach,"
"Haru-nii said that he was hungry so he went to grab something to eat," Masumi informed.
"Huh?" Akai raised a brow. "Who's the brat?"
"Don't be mean," Shukichi scolded. "She's not a brat. She's our younger sister!"
"N-Nice to meet you," Masumi nervously peeked out from behind Shukichi. "My name is Masumi,"
"Where's Kaa-san anyway?" Shukichi inquired. "She went to the hotel to meet you but didn't the two of you come here together? Haru said that the two of you got into a physical fight,"
"Haru's right," He removed his sunglasses, revealing a bruise on his left eye. "Kaa-san's knife-hand strike hit me in the eye and now I look like this. I also landed a punch or two so she's probably putting some ice on it,"

Haru had stood by Shinichi and Ran's side when Shinichi exposed the three men's attempt to get free food from the café by planting a fly in their mostly eaten plate. He led the two kids away before the men could start a fight. Haru and Ran were separated from Shinichi. They encountered Yukiko who was looking for her son. After a couple minutes of searching, Haru and Ran found the young detective with the Akai Family.
"There you are Shinichi!" Ran said. "Your mommy was looking for you!"
"Yo, Shin-kun," Haru greeted.
"Ran! Haru!" Shinichi turned to them.
"Are you still playing Holmes?" Ran asked.
"I'm not playing!" Shinichi denied. "This is my training for when I become a famous detective!"
"But you'll be in danger if you overdo things like this!" Ran tried to reason. "Those guys back at the café looked angry!"
"Brats, we've finally found you!" The three men from early approached them. "You really made a fool of us back at the café, didn't ya?"
"You brought it upon yourselves," Shinichi responded. "You put a fly in the yakisoba you were almost done eating and made a scene just to get out of paying for it,"
"We'd have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you!" He roughly messed up Shinichi's hair.
"Leave him alone," Haru grabbed the man's wrist in a tight grip.
"You bastard!" The man threw a punch at Haru.
Haru dodged with ease and delivered a kick to the man's stomach. He took a deep breath and got into a fighting stance. It wasn't Haru himself who scared the three men off. It was the dark aura being emitted by Haru's family.

After he graduated high school, Haru changed his name to Field Haru and entered the police academy. Mary was suspicious. "I can tell that you don't plan on being a regular police officer,"
"PSB," Haru replied. "Like Pierrot-nii, I'm going to hunt down the crows,"
Mary sighed. "The two of you are brothers. Honestly, I think you're more like Shuichi than Shukichi,"
"We are Dad's sons," Haru reminded. "When I start infiltrating the crows' nest, I will cut all contact from you guys and take on a different alias. If you see my in the streets, you do not know me,"
At the police academy, he befriended Furuya Rei, Morofushi Hiromitsu, Date Wataru, Matsuda Jinpei, and Hagiwara Kenji. They were a tight knit group of friends. After graduation, they took separate paths. Kenji and Jinpei joined the Explosive Disposal Unit. Wataru became a police detective of the first division. Rei joined the National Police Agency Security Bureau Planning Division. Hiro and Haru both joined the Public Security Bureau.

Haru took on the alias Michaelis Leon. Hiro and Rei became Tatsuya Daisuke and Amuro Tooru. They had waited an entire month of no contact with their family and friends before joining the organization. Of course the trio joined separately through three different circumstances. They worked hard to raise in ranks. Daisuke and Tooru became Scotch and Bourbon while Leon became Martini.
Leon was annoyed. "Isn't Martini the type of codename for a female agent?"
"The boss probably thought you looked like the lovechild of Gin and Vermouth," Another codenamed crow, a blue haired man by the codename of Cognac, commented.
Somehow, in the lonely organization, Martini found a friend in Cognac. Against better judgement, that friendship blossomed into an actual relationship. Thankfully, Scotch and Bourbon weren't around him much since Leon had been the first to join to infiltrate the organization and the two were on the newer side. He wouldn't be receiving lectures from the two for a while.
Months later, the two found out. Scotch laughed it off and gave him a thumbs up while Bourbon reminded him that their mission was first priority and that personal feelings shouldn't get in the way. Martini nodded, though a part of himself prayed that he would be able to be with Cognac after the organization's fall.
Then came the day that the three spies would be going on a mission with a new member: Rye. Bourbon was suspicious about Rye, something about his aura that seemed off. Scotch trusted Bourbon's judgement but wasn't as conspicuous as him. Martini knew about Rye's true allegiance and got along fine with him. Rye had recognized Martini but the two acknowledged each other only by their codenames. In the organization, they were not Akai Shuichi and Field Haru; they were Moroboshi Dai/Rye and Michaelis Leon/Martini.

Bourbon and Martini rushed up the stairs to the rooftop where Rye and Scotch were. 'Please let us make it in time!' But before they even reached the door, a gunshot rang out followed by a thud. Their heart raced and when the door slammed open, they were met with the sight of a dead Scotch with a bloody Rye holding the murder weapon.
"Traitors must be punished accordingly, right?" Rye held up Scotch's phone. "Unfortunately I shot him through his phone. The information is unsalvageable,"
Despite the fact that Martini knew that it was a suicide, that it was his and Bourbon's fault that caused him to pull the trigger, Martini couldn't stop himself from glaring at Rye with an intense hatred. "Yeah," That word was full of rage and venom. He hated himself for hating Rye.

Cognac had invited, though it was more like urged, Bourbon and Martini to his apartment. "There are no bugs here," Cognac poured them each a glass of alcohol. "The crows can't hear us,"
"Why don't you get to the point, Cognac?" Bourbon asked. "I understand why you would want Martini here but why me?"
"Scotch is alive,"
Immediately, Bourbon drew his gun and pointed it at the blue haired man. "Don't joke about such a thing!"
"I faked Moron Sushi Hero Mist's death," Cognac revealed.
Both Bourbon and Martini were silent, staring at Cognac as if he had grown another head. "D…Do you mean Morofushi Hiromitsu?"
"Yeah, that's what I said," Cognac raised a brow. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Nevermind that," Bourbon said. "What do you mean Scotch is alive? I held his lifeless corpse in my arms!"
"I concocted a plan with him to fake his death," Cognac informed. He took out his cell phone and clicked on one of his contacts. "This is a burner phone. I'm destroying it after this meeting. Do not contact him in order to prevent suspicions from falling onto either of you,"
Bourbon put the phone on speaker. "H…Hiro?"
"Rei? Haru?"
Tears started to fall. Martini had never seen him cry like this before, not even in the anime or manga. "Hiro, why didn't you tell us you were faking your death?"
"Cognac said to fool one's enemy, one must fool their family and friends. Your reactions had to be as real as possible,"
'Those words are similar to the ones Akai said when he revealed his disguise of Okiya Subaru to Jodie and Camel!' Martini noted.
Haru, Rei, and Hiro all had a tearful conversation before they finally had to end the conversation. Martini and Bourbon still had to keep their hatred towards Rye or else people would grow suspicious about the sudden change in attitude. Bourbon left the apartment not long after the phone was destroyed, leaving Martini and Cognac alone.
"How did you know that we weren't true crows?" Martini interrogated.
"I knew that Furuya Rei was a NPASB Officer and that Scotch was a PSB Officer," Cognac informed. "Since they were friendly with you, you were obviously one of them too. Besides, if I didn't trust you then I wouldn't **** you,"
"Jonah!" Martini was bright red.
"Come on, you're embarrassed from me saying it?" Cognac teased. "It's a miracle you don't die from embarrassment when we actually do it,"
"JONAH! SHUT UP!"
If I was going to have Haru join the PSB, I needed him to befriend Hiro and Rei. Of course he had to infiltrate the crows' nest too. Rei doesn't know that Haru is Akai's younger brother.
Cognac didn't tell Martini that he's an outlier, but he knows that Martini is one.
