Detective Conan AU

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

"We need to talk before we get Conan back." Gin said staring sternly at Vermouth as he approached her the next day, thankfully it was a Saturday which meant that Conan would be coming back to Headquarters with Kir instead of going to school and then being picked up by one of them.

"Yes?" Vermouth asked raising a single eyebrow at the man in front of her.

"I did a double check on his DNA. It still matches ours. However your story in the police headquarters didn't match what you told me before. He had been in Japan for a while before the shootout with the FBI. He had been living with someone else for a while before he abruptly disappeared. Why did you lie?" Gin demanded looking at her and not looking happy at all.

"What did you want me to say? That my carelessness and desire to be near my son had gotten him taken by some whack-job scientists? That the FBI had to rescue my son from the scientists and that I had to take him back from the FBI?" Vermouth demanded looking annoyed at the questions and more than a bit pissed but this worked well. She had planned for this. It always payed to be Prepared after all.

"Whack-job scientists? Why? What did they do to him?" Gin demanded alarmed at this and angry.

"I'm not sure the exact reason, whether they just wanted a foreign test subject or if it was because they noticed that I hadn't aged in years and wanted to see if he inherited what caused that. Either way they targeted him specifically and took him and I couldn't get him back myself. I had to tip the FBI off to what happened and expose him to the FBI in order to get him rescued and in a place where I could get him back myself and protect him better. The only thing they did that I know of was give him some stimulants that enhanced a few of his muscles. He has a fear of needles and most scientists now so I'm not exactly about to subject him to them to get tests done when it's so soon after what had happened." Vermouth said and her fists were clenched tightly at her side.

"I see." Gin said and his eyes were closed as he considered all of that. His son was kidnapped and used as a human guinea pig by some scientists. Used as a guinea pig and had to be saved by the FBI.

"Are we done here? Conan should be coming back in soon with Kir and I don't want to have any of this said anywhere in his hearing." Vermouth asked making Gin nod once and step away from her and back towards the wall.

"If you want to then later we can take Conan to the Kudo place, where my friend Yukiko lived. Her son used to babysit Conan before we had to switch to Dr. Agasa." Vermouth offered making Gin look briefly surprised before nodding once. He'd get to see where his son spent some of his free time. See the place and meet the person that babysat his son and kept him safe before Gin knew of the child.

Conan observed Kir as she drove them back towards the Headquarters of the Organization. While most of her gentleness was likely because of her younger brother that he reminded her of…there was still something off about her. He had gotten ahold of her phone for a moment, pretending to be looking for a game to play on it, and had noticed a lot of names in her contacts list. Some of them he recognized as being from the News Station, some of them had alcoholic names so he knew they were organization members (and had mentally noted their names and numbers for later), but some of them…there were a few names in there that seemed American.

They could be from her childhood or maybe if she had gone overseas and made a few contacts there…or American organization members that weren't codenamed yet. He'd have to look up some of the names whenever he got a clear chance to try and do so.

"Your parents should both be back by now Conan-kun! Are you excited to spend more time with them?" Kir asked glancing at the boy in the backseat using the rearview mirror.

"I don't know…mama likes to squish me in hugs a lot…and papa…I don't know papa very well yet so I don't know…" Conan trailed off making Kir give him a small understand but sad seeming smile.

"I'm sure your papa will be happy to see you again and he'd be happy to spend as much time with you as he can." Kir said trying to reassure the little boy, even if he was born to the two most amoral people she knew he was still just an innocent child. He deserved nice loving parents and she hoped that even if Gin was an evil murdering bastard he'd be a good papa to the little boy.

"Maybe…" Conan looked unsure of that still and then turned to look out of the window, trying to memorize the way to the headquarters.

"We're here Conan-kun." Kir said after another two minutes of driving in silence as she put the car in park in the parking garage and turned off her car.

"Here let me get your seatbelt." Kir said reaching back and unclipping the boys seatbelt.

"Thank you." Conan said politely and then tried to open the door but pouted when he found out that it was child locked.

"Make sure you stay close and hold my hand until we find one of your parents." Kir said opening the door and holding her hand out for the boy who sighed but obediently took her hand as they began to walk into the building.

"There's the little martini!" Chianti said brightly and waving at Conan who looked confused and gave a small wave back before Chianti was steered away by Korn.

"There's your papa and mama Conan-kun." Kir said pointing out the two who were waiting just inside the main entrance door.

"Papa! I got a trick to show you! It's a new one!" Conan said brightly as he took off from Kir and over to Gin, deciding to try and test his luck. Hey you never learned more about a person by standing and staying away.

"What is it little man?" Gin asked smiling slightly as he picked up the six year old who beamed and then reached up and poked him on the nose.

"Boop."
