Summary: Sometimes, Heiji saw things.

---

“You’re a long way from Osaka.” An amused voice drawled and Heiji spun, trying to spot where it came from. “Hattori Heiji.”

”Yeah, well.” He shrugged, the hairs on the back of his neck prickling. As far as he could tell, he was alone on the rooftop. Yet he knew that there was at least one other person there.

Sometimes, Heiji saw things. Things that no one else saw and things he wouldn’t wish anyone else to see. Things from the future. Scenes that might be.

Sometimes, he could do something about it.

Sometimes.

When luck, timing and circumstances were on his side. If he could figure out what the trigger was, how to defuse the situation in time. Sometimes it was something small, getting someone to turn left instead of right and avoiding getting hit by a car and causing a five car pile-up.

Sometimes it was something major.

“And what brings you here tonight, Hattori Heiji-kun?” A white-clad figure seemed to materialise out of the shadows, silent as a ghost, dressed in an old fashion tuxedo, top hat and cape. The Kaitou Kid gave him a rather ironic feeling tip of the hat.

”You.” Heiji said, his voice feeling too rough as he spoke, part of him wondering if he was looking at an illusion. With all of the tricks the phantom thief pulled, it wouldn’t surprise Heiji at all if Kid was actually some sort of spectre.

”Me?” Kid drawled with an air of almost hurt innocence as he circled around Heiji in a large arc, heading for the edge of rooftop behind Heiji. “And what could you want with me? I haven’t even sent a notice yet.” With a near negligent wave of his hand, a white card appeared.

”Yeah, I know.” Heiji nodded, trying carefully not to look at the card too hard, watching the Kid’s shadowy face. “I came ta ask ya not to send it.”

”Oh?” There was a dangerous little echo in that sound. The Kaitou Kid was not someone who took to being told what to do lightly.

He’d had a suave answer all planned out for this. Logical, rational and well thought out.

”There’s this nutso, okay? Complete nutjob, thinks the world has gone to pot and everyone’s evil. So he’s doin’ somethin’ about it.” The words came rambling out of his mouth. He took a breath, trying to stop the flow of words as much the rush of images that it accompanied. Fire and screaming and bodies everywhere.

”And you think he’ll do it about it during the heist.” The Kid said softly, that dangerous undercurrent still in his voice as he paused at the edge of the rooftop.

”Yeah.” Heiji nodded. “Ya always do attract such a crowd.” Very large, happy rowdy crowds.

”I see.” The Kid turned his monocle-clad fact towards the card in his hand. “In that case-“ The card went up in a burst of blue fire, burning away without leaving any trace of ash behind.

Heiji felt a rush of relief rush through him. No Kid Heist, no massive gathered crowd. Which meant that they had more time to find the whacko before he finished what he was setting up to do. “Thank you.” He breathed.

”Oh, I fully intend on receiving payment for passing up this opportunity.” The Kid purred, sounding very smug and predatory at the same time.

The Kid stepped forward, the only feature visible on his face was the lips curved up into a definite smirk. Heiji felt his eyes widen slightly, resisting the urge to back up a step. He’d almost forgotten. There was a brief window of opportunity that this collection of diamonds was going to be in town before being sent to the auction houses in Hong Kong.

Kid paused in front of him, a gloved hand sliding down the side of his face before capturing his chin, holding his face steady. Heiji gulped, staring into a pair of deep blue eyes. “The next time you have a vision with me in it, let me know.”

”Ah… buh?” Heiji managed to get out.

The thief patted his cheek, the sharp grin turning friendly. “You’re not the first person I’ve met to predict the future.” The Kaitou Kid confided in him, before disappearing with a twist and a backflip off the edge of the building.

”… Oh.” Heiji said, his brain finally catching up to the conversation. Yeah. That might make things a little easier in the future too.
