"But...but we identified you with Conan's phone, Kir killed you, though in her debrief she mentioned that it was the only way...wait she said something that was strange now that I think about it"

"Oh, what did she say?"

"She said 'I'm surprised that the silver bullet isn't here...oh...I see, it isn't time yet is it?' and James simply nodded"

"She was mentioning the fact that I was alive in a discreet manner but that I hadn't revealed myself yet"

"Wait, you said that you had another name?"

"Yes thanks to Conan I also go by the name Okiya Subaru, until the PSB pulled me out of classes I was a student at university, my hair is...kinda pink and I have light skin in that disguise"

"He also wears long sleeved clothes and turtle necks"

"Hey it's the only way to hide the voice changer around my neck, speaking of which..."

Akai puts back on the voice changer that makes his voice Haruto Itsuki and makes sure it's activated

"I may call you guys in this identity and you need to know the voice, also going to give you guys my number, it used to be Kir's by the way"

"What took so long to get a second phone and number by the way Haruto?"

"Originally the only phone and number available was Furuya's but..."

"But you guys didn't want that number in use, so how did you get him a second number until he got his second phone?"

"It wasn't easy trust us"

"Still...what did you need to talk to us about Kazami?"

"It's about Haruto's identity, we the PSB made it after he told us that his Okiya identity couldn't be known as working with us, and he told me, and only me about the fact that he's supposed to be a dead FBI agent known as Akai Shuichi, I'm the only one in the PSB who knows that now that Furuya's gone by the way, we need to discuss how we're going to deal with his multiple identities in the field and how we're going to keep the rest of the PSB and if you so decide James the FBI from figuring out the whole musical identity thing, especially that Akai Shuichi is actually still alive"

"His sniping skills might give it away you know"

"Not with the backstory the PSB has created for Haruto"

Suddenly three folders are put on the desk in front of the three FBI agents in the room and Akai speaks up again

"Read, memorize it, live it, if any of my fellow agents start asking questions about the sniper that's been involved in the past few months from the PSB tell them the backstory in that file and nothing else, if they've been asking questions I hope you've given them some sort of excuse that doesn't make them question the backstory or start destroying their trust in you James"

"Don't worry whenever I've been asked I've said that I haven't met the PSB sniper and as such don't know their backstory on how they became so good"

"If they find out you've lied..."

"They won't find out"

"Okay, now then there's something I want all of you to be alert for, including you Kazami"

"Oh?"

"Hattoruba Kaishin, any movement he makes I want to know about it, there's a reason behind that that unfortunately I can't get into however..."

Suddenly the door is slammed open

"I thought I told you..."

"It's urgent Kazami, the person who saved your life recently Hattoruba Kaishin...he just arrived at headquarters and collapsed before he could speak a word...we're taking him to the police hospital however..."

"Right, Haruto you're in my car...unless you want to ride with the FBI?"

"No thanks, I saw one of the agents driving recently and their driving is insane"

(Thinks) "you were the one who chose me for the Kir mission Akai...unless that's just a cover to continue to speak with Kazami about something you deem important"

(out loud) "It got everyone to safety so I don't think my passengers were complaining too much"

The group goes to the hospital in separate cars where Akai does indeed talk a little more with Kazami about certain things that he needed to know regarding the whole Curacao incident and finally they arrive at the hospital and are told that Harutoba was still in surgery

"His chances aren't currently the greatest but the doctors are going to do their best"

"Understood"

Five hours later and they found out that he made it through surgery but was currently in the ICU and unable to receive visitors. Three days later and the PSB and FBI were allowed to visit Hattoruba for the first time

"Now then, he's still pretty weak and will have to remain hospitalized for a bit longer, but he's able to answer any questions you may have regarding what happened to him"

"Thank you"

As soon as Akai (in his Haruto identity) enters the room Hattoruba speaks up

"I'm afraid that civilians can't overhear this conversation"

"Sorry Hattoruba, if that's who you truly are, but that's not the case this time, for the record you're extremely late and if you don't have a valid excuse you're going to be getting yelled at by two other people who have mourned your apparent death for way too long, that is if you're who you're saying you are"

"Who are you?"

"Oh, taking that route then, not that I can blame you really all things considered but still...very well all I have to say to you is this crows lose"

"Stubbornness and creativity win, so what's this identity known as?"

"Haruto Itsuki, PSB sniper by the way, and like I said Furuya you're months late, the three of us have been mourning your loss for months so unless you have a really good excuse there's two others who are also going to be yelling at you, we thought you were dead, killed by the Organization"

"That very nearly happened Haruto, if not for some sort of miracle my apparent death would have been real as would the funeral"

"Wait...what's going on? Why...why did you call Hattoruba by Furuya's name?"

"Say hello to Furuya Rei, supposed dead PSB member who also used to go by Amuro Toru or in the Organization he was known as Bourbon, by the way Kazami, James, Jodie and Camel all know the full truth about me"

"Full truth about you Haruto?"

"None of your business Bill"

"Yes sir"

"As I was saying this had better be good Furuya, you have no idea how much I want to punch you right now after what you've put us through"

"Oh I have a good excuse alright, near death coma in an unknown facility for two and a half months after my body was switched out and the rest of the time spent regaining my strength and escaping my captors...who aren't part of the Organization by the way but have very...brutal methods to keep the people they have under their control, I got lucky in my escape in all honesty"

(Sighs) "fine you win a pass from being punched by everyone, but they are finding out about you being alive and you can expect to be questioned still by them"

"I know"

"By the way Asakura is trying to speed things up on his end because his charge has gotten severely hurt a few times and his mortal enemy is getting more and more bold, almost to original levels according to him"

"Okay, that's bad news"

"No kidding, but for now you have other questions that need to be answered and our cryptic talks are probably going to be questions too so we need to have a private discussion about our next move"

"No kidding, but anyways here's the fully report that you definitely are owed as my subordinate Kazami"

"Then...then it's really you Furuya?"

"Yes Kazami, it's me"

"But I saw you die...I was there when...when...I don't believe it's you, even if Haruto believes it for some weird reason of your two speaking in that weird code of yours I don't believe it, I can't believe it not after so long"

"Kazami...do you trust me?"

"Haruto?"

"Do you trust me?"

"Yes...I trust you"

"Then believe me when I say it's him, Furuya Rei is alive, he needs time to recover but eventually he'll be back in the fight against the Organization...though how he's going to do it I have no clue since he'd be at huge risk in his actual identity...oh by the way Kir, also known as Mizunashi Rena, actual name Hondou Hidemi is back in the states with her brother and both are currently being hidden by the CIA, it's for the best considering..."

"Right, did you fake Kir's death?"

"Yes we faked Kir's death"

Suddenly Kazami clears his throat

"Not that this isn't interesting...but story...now"

"Right, does anyone have a recorder first? I only want to say this once for the record, at least for now, I know I'll probably be asked clarifying questions later but...right now I just want to get everything over with"

And so three hours of explaining later and everyone could tell that Furuya really needed to get more sleep

"Before we leave, I'm letting you know that I'm letting the other two know about you and to expect a couple of visitors soon, don't worry I'll make sure that they're calm...relatively speaking anyways and I'll also be back to have that other conversation with you regarding Jodie and Camel...oh and Kazami too I think"

"Later, your place is safest to have the one discussion I think"

"You're right about that"

It took two whole months but finally Furuya was released from the hospital and the identity he had used to identify himself to Akai was now his actual identity until he could reveal himself to actually be alive. During that time Akai had explained that he had revealed himself to Jodie and Camel the day Furuya had been taken to the hospital near death and had revealed himself to Kazami when Kazami had told him about Furuya's apparent death, two days after his release from the hospital the four who remembered the future got together at the Kudo house

"So...what all needs to be discussed?"

"Do we reveal ourselves as people who are mentally, or in KID's case physically from the future or not? If this keeps up we're going to get more and more mysterious while having to reference things that others don't know yet but we do, as it is Bourbon not only used a code name that only the two of us knew about but I had to use the challenge/response code on him since I had to make absolutely sure it was actually him and not some imposter who had found out about the specific name"

And with that the arguing started, and it was long, occasionally loud and very divisive due to the fact that they had never truly discussed this situation possibly coming up before, not even with Akai and Furuya had believed it to only be the two of them who remembered the future had they thought about this possibility, they couldn't afford to think of such a possibility due to just how dangerous that would have been with either one still in the Organization and with the fact that Furuya had basically been in the Organization until the end originally they simply didn't think anything like the current situation would come up, the argument actually continued into the next day but finally they were able to reach a concensus

"So we're agreed then huh?"

"Yes, we reveal what happened to the four of us, though first...Kudo, Akai you need to decide if you're going to reveal yourselves to everyone first...wait that means I also need to make that decision"

(Sighs) "I think if we're going to reveal what happened to us we have no choice but to tell them the whole truth including the fact that two of our number are supposed to be dead at the moment, one is supposed to be in high school and one is...is simply in the strangest situation out of the four of us, by the way...Snake"

"He'll get what's coming to him I promise, but right now he's gone to ground which is a good thing in my mind because Nakamori almost got killed at the last heist"

"Still not happy about what you did the night I first did training with the PSB by the way"

"Yeah, you only lecture me about it every time we meet"

"Anyways, when should we do this?"

"That's the question alright, do we wait for Snake to be arrested or not?"

"Let's not...we need to end this stupid situation and soon, we're all getting really, really tired and my younger counterpart is getting a bit too reckless for my liking"

"But Pandora"

"I know...but there's not much choice in the matter, if we don't start taking down the Organization soon...well it won't be good that's for certain"

"You're right, we've created unintentional ripples by doing what we've been doing with our knowledge of the future, even if we've tried to minimize those ripples they've still happened"

"By the way, want to sign both bits of paperwork again Furuya?"

"Yes, I'm willing to guess at my funeral you called me little brother"

"Just soft enough for my ears only I promise"

"In either case best make it all legal once more and earlier than last time too"

And so the next day at PSB headquarters everything is laid out for the FBI and PSB, for the FBI especially, minus those who already knew it was hard for them to believe that Akai Shuichi was actually alive and had been this entire time, more so for the snipers than anyone else, the PSB wasn't fairing much better in regards to Furuya but they proved their identities soon enough, then Kudo and Asakura dropped their bombshells in regards to identity and all the officers would have arrested Asakura if not for the other three keeping their colleagues back

"There's more that you need to know and it's going to be even harder for you to understand than what you were just told"

"How hard is hard?"

(Sighs) "I already know what you're going to do so I'm asking everyone here not to laugh at us, we know what's generally going to happen in the future due to time travel"

"What?..."

The four sigh and with a nod it's agreed that Kudo would do all the explaining and he does, how he, Furuya and Akai were sent back to the past from the future mentally with Akai and Furuya explaining that they had been sent back the day before Scotch's death that they were unable to prevent and Kudo explaining that he was sent back the day they had faked Akai's death with Hondo Hidemi, then Kaito explained what had happened to him in the future and how he had been physically sent back a couple of years before his younger counterpart debuted as Kaitou KID

"Wait...the name you heard as Haruto, the way you reacted...the words you used in the hospital when we met Furuya again as Hattoruba Kaishin"

Kudo interrupted at that

"Wait...seriously? You two seriously came up with a code name using us four?"

"We didn't know if we were the only two sent back from the future, as it is we've sort of forgotten how it happened in the first place, it's more a vague dream than anything for Furuya and I, and probably you Kudo, as such we wanted a way to honor the four of you and that was what we came up with"

Kazami clears his throat

"As I was saying it was almost as if you two were automatically giving each other a code of some sort, and then there's the reaction after Akai's apparent death for five days and the phone call immediately afterwords"

"Yes that and more is explained through what happened to us in the future, including what Akai and I are going to request which is two forms of paperwork, one to make each other the person who has final word in regards to medical care and also one that makes us legally brothers, me being the younger brother and Akai being the older brother"

"Anything else you can think of while you're at it you four?"

"Well...I do want your help taking down Snake sooner, after all in the original timeline he kills Nakamori protecting me and I found Pandora after his death, then did one final heist with permission to give KID closure, oh I want help with finding Pandora sooner as well so that my younger self doesn't have to become immortal like I did"

"We also simply want to take down the Organization sooner than we did originally because with us coming to the past we've created ripples that have changed things greatly, one of them being that Furuya was with the Organization until basically the end originally, not almost assassinated like this time around"

"Not my fault"

"Oh we know that, that's why we didn't yell at you like we wanted to, you're lucky Akai found out first"

"Don't I know it"

"Anyways I think it's time we get serious if we're going to take down the Organization with the help of people who remember the future"

And so with the four people who remember the future getting more serious than anyone had seen of two of them the Organization is taken down three years before they originally had been, and this time Nakamori survived getting shot by Snake and Pandora was destroyed without younger Kaito getting turned immortal, when the two timelines caught up with each other there was a brief period amongst the four who remembered the future of worrying what would happen to both Kaito's but it turned out that things had changed enough that they could stay in the same timeline without any consequences, at least without any major consequences, all that really happened was certain people noticed the similarities between the two Kaito's on occasion and some people's memories returned as well but that was basically it regarding the two Kaito's, as for the other three due to the fact that they didn't suffer nearly as devestating lossess as the first time rebuilding both the FBI and the PSB back to it's former strength didn't take nearly as long plus Akai didn't have to get used to a whole new team which had been a factor in the original timeline in his getting sniped, as for Furuya due to the fact that he wasn't forced to basically rebuild the PSB from the ground up he wasn't nearly as stressed as originally and thus wasn't killed in almost the exact same shootout as originally (he had been a little distracted keeping an eye on all the rookies in the PSB in the original timeline)
