What if Haru was kidnapped by Vermouth and raised to become a crow?
Part V

Fallen Angel was in the back seat of Gin's Porsche with Vermouth. "It's already fifteen minutes past ten. Where's Kir?" 'Dad said we were meeting with Kir, Chianti, and Korn to assassinate DJ at Eddie P. This is Black Impact. But why would I be needed here? Dad said I would be part of the backup plan if Plan A didn't succeed. I haven't met Conan yet. I'm actually surprised Mom didn't call me out to help her and Calvados draw Sherry out. Then again, she knows that Sherry's my friend and that I'd hesitate. I didn't expect Shiho to give up on her research, shrink, and take on the alias Haibara Ai. I don't blame her. She hasn't even heard Akemi's voice in the last two years,'

As if her name summoned her, Kir's car pulled up beside the Porsche. "What happened?" Gin pointed his gun in Kir's direction. "We were supposed to meet at 10:00,"

"Sorry," Kir apologized. "I thought there was a car following me so I used a different route,"

"You're certain there's no problem?" Gin asked.

"Yeah, no problem. So could you please put away your Beretta?" Kir calmly replied. "After all, if you kill me, you won't be able to kill DJ, right?"

"Hmph, fine," Gin stopped aiming his gun at Kir. "If a car comes within 500 meters of this place, I'll so it so I suppose it doesn't really matter,"

"At 1300, I will take DJ to Eddie P," Kir went over the plan. "When I interview him, I'll move him to that spot,"

Chianti's car pulled up beside Kir's. "I'm looking forward to the thrill of killing the prey that's in front of me!"

"I'm relying on you," Kir said. "If we can succeed, no one will know. But if it's a failure it will be known by everyone,"

"Hmph, even if it fails, no one will ever know," Gin told her. "That's the way we do things,"

"Well, it's time," Vermouth spoke up. "We need to finish soon. I certainly hope that you won't need my, or Fallen Angel's, help,"

"Vermouth!" Chianti angrily got out of her car and slammed her fist to the back window. "Why is the woman who dragged Calvados out and let him get killed part of this plan!?"

Fallen Angel did not miss the angry glare Gin was giving Chianti at the sight of her daring to touch his car. "Get back in the car," Fallen Angel held up his gun. "The boss ordered her to be here just in case. If you have a problem with it, tell me now and I'll put a bullet in your skull. I'm sure we can make do with just Korn,"

"Tch!" Chianti stormed back to her car. "Like mother, like son! Both are irritating as hell!"

"It's strange that the place is Eddie P though," Vermouth lit a cigarette for herself. "It seems like a good place to kill prey,"

"Haibara, do you know who DJ is!?" Conan asked hastily. "Do you know where Eddie P is!? They used those words! I think it's some kind of code!"

"I don't know who DJ is but I guess Eddie P is some kind of car park somewhere," Haibara replied.

"Do you know who Kir, Chianti, Korn, and Fallen Angel are!?" Conan demanded.

"I don't know about Kir but Chianti and Korn are snipers," Haibara informed. "Fallen Angel is my friend as well as the son of Gin and Vermouth. He's part of the recon and assassination division,"

"Their son!?" Conan's eyes widened.

"He's not a bad person," Haibara told him. "He's only in the organization because of Vermouth. He was the one who helped get my sister out of the organization,"

The group encountered Jodie and they hurried her into the car as the crows' cars passed by. They exchanged information and tried to work out the identity of the target and the location.

The original plan to assassinate Domon was foiled by Conan and Jodie shooting the sprinklers followed by miracle rain. The crows were gathered at the rendezvous point. Fallen Angel would be following beside Kir as backup. The two crows suited up, hopped onto a motorcycle, and started heading along the route they were assigned.

When the FBI cars had surrounded them, Fallen Angel didn't know what to do. He just followed Kir's lead and maneuvered his bike onto the roof of a car. A young boy chased after his soccer ball into the road and the drivers immediately hit the break and swerved, causing both bike riders to go flying and the two crashed into the asphalt.

The FBI were shocked that neither of the two were Vermouth. They rushed the two quickly to Haido Central Hospital. Both of them survived but were declared comatose.

"We need to find him!" Vermouth shouted to Gin as they drove in the direction of Mouri Detective Agency after finding the transmitter on Kir's shoe.

Gin's knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel. "The organization comes first. It's always been this way. We're going to see what Mouri Kogoro's connection to Sherry is. The type of bug used is the same as the one Sherry left. You best keep your emotions in check, Vermouth," Though he would never admit it, Gin did care about Tristan.

Vermouth knew that Gin was right. The organization's interests was first priority. Even if she was the boss' favorite, Vermouth knew that if she made a big enough blunder, she would be punished accordingly. Since Karasuma found out that she had a son, she knew that he would not hesitate to use Tristan as leverage if Vermouth's behavior got out of hand.

A month passed. Rena remained comatose. Although he was still unconscious, Tristan started mumbling. It was too incoherent for the FBI Agents to make out the words so most of them ignored him. It was at a briefing that the most recent agent who had been on watch duty reported that he could understand the words. He had recorded them and played the tape for the others to hear.

"P…Pier…rot…T…Tai…ko…Mei…jin…Mama…Papa…Help…I…don't…wanna…go…with her…"

"Pierrot? A clown?" James questioned. "The Taiko Meijin a shogi player, I believe. But why would Fallen Angel be calling out to them?"

"Akai-san, are you alright?" Bill asked, noticing that Akai's expression had changed to one of disbelief. "Do you know why Fallen Angel's calling for them?"

"Shu…ichi…Shu…kichi…"

'It can't be…' Akai's legs felt like jelly and he started swaying. 'All this time…I had been by his side for years…'

"Shuu?" Jodie gently called his name. "Shuu, are you alright?"

Akai's legs finally gave in and he collapsed to the floor. 'Tristan Vineyard is Akai Mitsuharu…'

Akai regained conscious about an hour later. He ignored his coworkers' concerns, worries, and questions and got up. Before he reached the door, it flew open. "Fallen Angel's awake!"

"Let me see him," It was an order, not a request. He didn't care if he had just fainted in the middle of a briefing. He needed to see Tri—no, the person he need to see was Mitsuharu. 'Please, don't be a coincidence. Please be real. It's too much to be a coincidence. He's been missing for all these years. He has to be Haru!'

By the time they reached the room where Tris and Rena were being held. The other guard that had been on duty was knocked out cold and Tris was nowhere in the room. "Find him!" James ordered the rest of the agents who immediately scattered to cover more ground.

'No…' Akai leaned against the wall for support. Once again, he felt lightheaded. 'Where is he? Where is he!? WHERE IS HE!?'

"Shuu, calm down," Jodie instructed. "Let's go and sit down for now. One of our agents is bound to find him soon. It hasn't been long so he couldn't have gotten far. How about we head to the roof for some fresh air?"

Akai nodded, not wanting to be cooped up inside of the suffocating hospital. Unlike in canon, Haido Central Hospital had a rooftop garden. When the two reached the location, they found Tris sitting on a bench next to Jonah. The two hadn't noticed Jodie and Akai's presence nearby. When Jodie made a move to approach them, Akai stopped her.

"Don't you ever want to return to your family?" Jonah asked Tris. "You can get rid of your hair dye, change up your hairstyle, and go by your real name. The organization won't ever know that you had woken up from your coma,"

"Believe me, there's not a day that goes by that I don't wish for that," Tris said. "But if I leave the organization, you'll be by yourself. Akemi and Shiho are no longer part of the organization,"

Jonah gave him a sad smile. "Don't worry about me, babe. Your freedom's important,"

"So is your freedom!" Tris snapped. "I…I'm not leaving you behind. You're my boyfriend, my soulmate. I refuse to let you suffer alone!"

"You may not get another chance," Jonah reminded him. "Tristan Vineyard can disappear for good and, after seventeen painful years, you can finally be Akai Mitsuharu once more,"

Akai finally moved towards them followed by Jodie who was shocked at Tris' real name. Akai sat down on the other bench near them. "M…Mitsuharu…" The name felt odd on his tongue, despite the fact that he had been crying out that name for years. This was the first time in so many years that he was using it to address someone in person.

Tris bit his lip and refused to face him. "How much did you hear?"

"Everything," Akai answered truthfully.

"Are you mad?" Tris asked.

"No," Akai hesitantly reached out to put a hand to his baby brother's shoulder. "I'm relieved and happy. You're alive and healthy,"

"During all of these interactions ever since you met Akemi, I never told you my real identity," Tris recalled. "I treated you like a stranger,"

"I should get going," Jonah looked at his watch. "I'm going to falsify a report and claim that I have seen no sight of Kir or Fallen Angel in Haido Central Hospital, nor have I seen any FBI Agents," He pecked Haru on the lips before leaving.

Jodie felt like she was intruding upon the two brothers and thus decided to head back inside and inform the others that Fallen Angel had been located.

"You're really close to Jonah," Akai noted.

"I love him just like how you love Akemi," Tris looked up at the sky. It was a dark grey shade and would soon turn to black with specks of white. "Is our family cursed?"

"What do you mean?" Akai questioned.

"Rum murdered Kohji," Tris listed. "Papa's missing. Vermouth kidnapped me," He sighed and leaned further back on the bench. "Mama, Shukichi, and Masumi all know who I am. I befriended Masumi back in middle school and, ironically, was an older brother figure to her. She called me 'Tris-nii' and I was happy. I had a relationship with my little sister. They found out my identity from a maternity test. They suspected me due to a drawing I made of Kohji wearing the fox yukata,"

Tris started to cry, his voice no longer stead. "I want to go home. But I can't. I can't leave Jonah behind. I can't leave the organization. If I leave the organization, I'll lose my position. I'm a codenamed agent and as the son of Gin and Vermouth, I have some privileges. I'm so close to confronting Rum and the boss. I'm so close…" He let out a choked sob. "I'm so close to avenging Kohji and Papa…"

"This is not your fight," Akai hugged him. The physical contact ensure him that he wasn't hallucinating, that everything was real, that Mitsuharu was real and in his arms. "Be free,"


Will Haru stay in the organization or finally cave in and return home?
