Crossover: Detective Conan/Young Justice/Magic Kaitou
Universe: Today's Lesson Is....
Characters: YJ Team (primary Robin/Dick), RED, Conan, Kaitou KID
Summary: KID has made his announcement! He's coming to America to steal something. Can the YJ team stop him?
“Surrendering would be good,” Artemis said. She pulled back an arrow, aiming it KID.
Kid smirked. The air around him is confident and wide. At the same time, Conan leapt forward. “NO!” the smallest boy shouted. “Don’t--!”
Instantly, pink smoke filled the area. Wally made a quick run around, dispelling the smoke. Once it cleared, the teens found nothing but an empty rooftop. KID was gone. Megan turned around to see a white dot flying away. “There he is!” she shouted.
“Don’t let him get away!” Kaldur ordered.
“On it!” the team chorused. Wally sped down the stairs, Superboy leapt into the sky, Megan picked up Kaldur and Artemis pulled out her grapping arrow and all them took off.
“Wait!” Conan shouted, rushing towards the edge of the building.
“Hold it!” Robin said, grabbing Conan by the collar of his shirt. “Look, we’ll handle it from here. Go back to the hotel okay?”
“You don’t understand!” Conan said frustrated. He ducked under Robin’s hand and continued his race toward the edge.
“Wait!” Robin called after him. Behind his domino mask, his eyes grew wide when he realized that Conan’s shoes were glowing. Where did that soccer ball come from? Conan swung his leg back and the ball went flying towards Artemis who was lagging behind the rest of the team.
“What are you doing?!” Robin shouted. “Artemis!!” He watched as the soccer ball flew at a high speed, before colliding into the archer.
Conan looked up at Robin. His blue eyes were narrowed and sharp behind his glasses. “That isn’t your friend,” he said calmly.
Artemis burst into a white cloud of smoke. From the cloud of smoke, fell Kaitou KID. He turned toward Conan and Robin, grinning widely, and tipped his hat. Then his hang glider flew open, catching KID before he fell to his death. With one last wave, he flew off in another direction.
Robin immediately reached for his ear-comm, trying to alert his teammates that KID was flying in another direction. “Damnit,” he swore. There was only static still. There was no way to catch up with KID now. He was flying with the wind.
“How did you know?” Robin asked, turning to Conan. “How did you know Artemis was KID and where is the real Artemis?”
Conan walked over to the door, and pulled it away from the wall. Stashed hastily behind the door, was an unconscious Artemis. Her equipment was missing, but relatively she was unharmed. “Disguising himself as other people is one of KID’s favorite tactics for escaping,” he explained. “That’s why playing Dog Pile the Thief never works. KID just slips away when he gets the chance. It’s why it’s better to face KID alone or with one other person, but a group? It’s a bad idea.
As for how I knew it was your friend, well judging by the way your friends left the rooftop and their general appearance, all but you and her have some sort of superpower. KID is human; he doesn’t have any special abilities, not like superspeed or flight. That means he can’t disguise himself as some of your friends because if he gets called out on something, there’s no way he’ll be able to duplicate the power. That leaves you and her. He can’t disguise himself as you. You’re too short for him to believably pull it off. That leaves her. She’s closer to his height after all. ”
Conan then turned to look at Robin; his blue eyes calculating carefully. Something about Conan’s expression caused a chill to run Robin’s spine. ‘There’s no way this is a seven year old kid,’ Robin thought to himself.
“Plus for some reason, he’s interested in you,” Conan said.
‘Nope, you’re the interesting one in my opinion,’ Robin thought.
Conan shook his head. “I’m going back to the hotel now,” he said, his voice taking a more childish quality. Robin blinked at the sudden shift. What happened to the calm, serious, high intelligent voice?
Conan smiled, almost mockingly. “Let’s play next time, Chiisana Kishi-kun!” He then disappeared down the stairs.
