Detective Conan Blind AU

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)

Conan didn't move or say anything as he stood quietly in front of Doctor Agase who had finished the nanobots and all that he needed to set up the 'Echolocation glasses' as he called them. Of course Agase had gone off and named it something much longer and more complicated, complete image viewing glasses for everything in a thirty foot radius was a bit of a stretch to remember much less say…and that was the simple term.

"The shot will hurt like any other shot involving a needle will, however the nanobots and all hooking your brain up to your glasses and the new sensors and all in those will likely burn like acid." Agase warned the boy who merely shrugged his tiny shoulders at this.

"It can't hurt much worse than a bullet to the stomach did." Conan said casually and both of his new parents straightened up and frowned heavily at that while Eisuke looked confused and the others all winced since they were there for that and remembered how exactly that had happened and turned out. Well except for the Kudo parents who looked alarmed and shocked at hearing about this as well. This was the first time either of them remembered hearing about this!

"Good point." Agase agreed as he gently entered the needle into the boy's head and began to depress the syringe so that the nanobots were injected into his brain to do their job. It would work just as well really, and might even have some very nice side effects, if he had only injected it into the boy's blood stream but…well this was Shinichi he was doing it to! He didn't want any unplanned side effect popping up and hurting the boy's recovery or risking overloading his already taxed and battered body.

"We are getting him a bullet proof vest, the kind the government uses." Gin said in a no-nonsense tone to his girlfriend who nodded her head once in agreement.

"Good to know we were both thinking the same thing." Rena said causing his lips to twitch a bit but they were both fully focused on their son who was going through a lot of pain and agony just to get even a little bit of his sight back…and he didn't make a sound.

Kir and Gin were distressed at their son being so used to pain that he didn't even make a sound at something that was supposed to feel like acid being poured directly into his brain. Not a peep or whimper, he just gave a small twitch on occasion.

Exchanging a look the two of them were both of the same mind, being thankful that they had taken Conan in and adopted him to keep him away from all the things that had pained him before.

"It worked. I can see outlines of things and people." Conan said after a moment or two as he blinked his now semi-sightless eyes around the room a bit and then paused when he got to Gin and he looked surprised.

"Wow papa. You're really tall." Conan said looking up and up and up until his neck hurt from just how tall Gin was while the Detective boys were cheering and the adults were a bit relieved that at least a portion of Conan's sight was back! Even if he couldn't see colors he could still see people and things and now wouldn't be as likely to run into something or hit someone else with his soccer ball by accident.

"Yeah I am buddy but don't worry. Papa doesn't mind carrying you around in his arms or on his shoulder so that you can be tall too! My little man is going to be just as tall as his papa whenever he's fully grown!" Gin said gushing slightly over Conan as he scooped the boy into his arms gently and then proceeded to nuzzle and smother the boy's face in kisses.

"You're going to spoil him dear, and besides he has to walk some time or else his leg muscles with atrophy." Kir pointed out smiling slightly as she put a hand on Gin's shoulder and peered at Conan curiously, trying to see if she could tell anything was different or out of the normal for his eyes and glasses.

"You're pretty tall too mama." Conan said peering at Kir curiously and causing her to smile as she stole Conan from Gin to cuddle the boy close to her chest with a smile.

"Yes I'm taller than the average woman by a good bit but that's only cause I take after my dad who used to be really tall as well." Kir said smiling as she kissed Conan's cheek and then rested her head on Gin's shoulder as she easily held their child in a way where his busted and broken bones wouldn't bother him.

"Now that Conan-kun can see again can he come outside in the snow and play with us?" Ayumi asked tugging at Gin's jacket and making the man glance down at her surprised before exchanging a look with Rena.

"Okay but you'll have to wait a few minutes while we go upstairs to change his bandages and then bundle him up in some nice warm winter gear and jackets. We don't want him getting sick after all since that could just make it even harder for him to get all better." Kir said after a moment and making the children look eager and excited.

"Okay! And we'll keep a careful eye on him too to make sure he stays okay and doesn't get hurt this time!" Ayumi promised happily and making the criminal couple twitch a little bit, this time. She specified this time regarding him getting hurt. They did not like the sound of that at all.

"Don't worry too much. After all we'll be out there too. I think Ei-chan promised him a snowball war." Rena said smiling at her brother who grinned at her and hurried upstairs to go get dressed for the weather as well, tripping over a stair and nearly face planting the door.

"I'm alright!" Eisuke called back.

"This is why he can't hold Conan unless he's sitting down or standing still." Rena told her boyfriend dryly.

"You're a disaster waiting to happen is what you are." Everyone nodded in agreement with Haibara's merciless words.
