This chapter is based on Detective Conan chapter 549 p.11. We'll see how this goes.

Subaru Okiya sat the curry down on the desk in front of the trio of kids who were playing a game at the Kudo mansion. The kids had wanted to come and try the new game that had just come out on the huge console at the mansion, and had not yet had anything to eat that Sunday.

"So, Conan-kun and Haibara-san aren't with you today?" He asked in his pleasant persona as the simple, unremarkable, graduate student staying in that house for a while. "I usually see all of you together."

"No…" Genta began to grumble, "they're off doing something top secret that doesn't include us again. We're supposed to be the Shounen Tantei, but they always do things by themselves." The other two excitedly nodded in angry agreement.

That had the Akai Shuichi side of him very interested. What could two, admittedly abnormal, children have to do that would not involve their friends? Now, mind you, that special side of Subaru would not be at all interested if it weren't for the fact that one of the kids was the girl he had been tasked to protect, and the other being the genius who had faked his death and led to him being able to protect the other one.

"Did they tell you anything about what they were doing?" One, simple question. One question that could hold secrets people would kill to know if they knew the full story and the answer was possibly hidden in the minds of three perfectly normal children.

"No, I wonder what make Conan-kun and Ai-chan so different from us?" Ayumi asked as she focused her attention on the game, upset that her crush and best friend were always keeping secrets hidden from the group.

"Super powers?" Genta asked, making a suggestion that made as much sense to him as any.

Subaru could not help himself and gave a full laugh at that. Not a fake one but even the Akai Shuichi that he kept hidden inside of himself was amused at that comment. "Well, I suppose that could be the case." And in a way it was. The intelligence of the two kids could be considered superpowers, they were so far ahead of everyone else.

Even if he was right, and Edogawa Conan and Haibara Ai made up Kudo Shinichi and Miyano Shiho, it was still so far outside the realms of normalcy that they could easily be considered super powered beings. Completely disregarding the fact that shrinking humans, by all forms of common sense, should be impossible, there were still a large number of irregularities anyone who spent enough time could find between the two. A sixteen-year-old smart enough to go toe to toe with some of the smartest minds of the world's biggest criminal organization and different government bodies with only his brain was certainly unusual.

He knew for a fact that he and Furuya Rei were also far ahead of the boundary, so he was not really the best person to say that, but considering that they were both older and in situations that allowed them weapons or physical fighting it was absolutely amazing that he could keep up. No, maybe sometimes even surpass.

It was no debate that he, Furuya Rei, and even other members of the FBI or PSB were better at field work. They were better at staying calm and handling any amount of pressure or odd situation that came their way, but Conan was likely to be unparalleled in understanding what happened and coming up with a plan to counter the enemy.

"So, Subaru-san? What do you think?" Genta asked him, as the other two looked up at him with expectant eyes.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't listening. Could you repeat the question?" Akai disappeared with that sentence and Subaru Okiya came back to the surface.

"We asked you what kind of superpower you think Conan and Haibara have." Wow, the kids were really getting all into this, weren't they. It was always nice to see innocent eyes, it had helped him shake out of his mental walls that were built when Akemi died.

"Well, maybe Conan-kun can look into the past or predict the future. And Haibara can read minds." The children applauded at his suggestions and went back to debating what sort of abilities Conan and Haibara could have. He could easily picture the two not-kids walking in the Kudo house to find their friends debating what sort of supernatural abilities they possessed.

Haibara would just look away and make a sarcastic comment like, 'supernatural abilities, they says' while Conan would look at them in disbelief and lose all form of coherent speech. 'Oh, yes, that will be fun.' was the last thought Subaru had before allowing the kids to continue playing.
