Chapter 2
Warnings : I'm kinda mean to Kenken again...
Note : // telepathy

Ken didn't fight when Nagi removed the blindfold. He didn't because he really couldn't. He couldn't see in normal light anymore, not with what had been done to his eyes by the Serum. Carefully, Ken listened, Crawford was moving. Well, either Crawford or Schuldig, since the two sounded a lot alike when they moved.

"Hold still." It was Crawford's voice. Then he felt something sliding over his eyes. It was plastic and rested like a pair of glasses. A second part, obviously attached to the part around his head, brushed against his hair.

"What is this?" Ken demanded. Schwartz had explained most things to him already. But then, he was technically one of them now, since they'd rescued him by 'making' him join.

"Remember the visor we mentioned?" Crawford never expanded the thought after Ken nodded. It was obvious the visor they'd talked about before was the one he was now wearing. Reaching up, he pushed down on the part brushing his bangs. Then he did something that he hadn't been able to do in several days. He opened his eyes.

"Can you see?" Nagi demanded.

"Yes!" Ken let out a relived laugh. "Thank God."

"No light is getting through?" Crawford questioned. Ken grinned, happy just to be able to see the people talking to him finally. Sure, Crawford was a little off-color, but it was better than no sight at all. And Crawford wasn't a half bad sight.

//Where did that come from?// Schuldig's voice sounded in his mind.

//Tell him and I'll kill you?// Ken through back at him.

"The part that flips up is so you won't have to completely remove the visor if it gets dark. The black out part is split, too, for lowlight situations." A tech in a lab coat explained, examining the visor while using Ken's ears as handles. "Everything's in order." The tech half saluted Crawford, then returned to his work while completely ignoring them.

"Let's go." Crawford waved for them to follow. Nagi was first to follow, then Schuldig raised his eyebrows, giving Ken a questioning look.

"What do you think?" Schuldig never completely lowered his eyebrows.

"Why should I waste my breath telling you?" Ken glared, though the visor hid it. "you've already been rooting around in my head."

"Point."

~~~~~~~~~~

~~At the Kitty in the House~~

"I haven't been able to find anything." Omi groaned, his head falling to his desk next to the keyboard. "There are no police records that could point to Ken."

"Nothing?" Youji demanded. "He can't just disappear?"

"Estet members were there," Aya pointed out logically. "And we know we didn't manage to kill all that many of them."

"Do you think that Estet has Ken?" Omi's blue eyes went wide.

"It's a possibility."

~~~~~~~~~~

"So," Ken looked at Crawford through the dark tint that surrounded him constantly now. "This vision... It's why I'm still alive... And you think you can control the future's outcome?"

"I wouldn't have pulled you out of the lab's testing program without a good reason." Crawford stood up. "I also wouldn't have gotten you fixed, either."

"You call slapping a pair of super-sunglasses on me FIXED?" Ken's eyebrows raised, but the visor killed the effect.

"I could have let them test a counter Serum..."

"The visor works just fine!" Ken yelped, reaching up to adjust the aforementioned device.

"Crawford?" Schuldig poked his head into the room. "Are you done telling the kitty why he's still alive?"

"Yes." Crawford smirked slightly. "Though he's a smartass like you."

"Good for Kenken," Schuldig ducked out of the room, telling Crawford that "Nagi needed him for something or other."

"All right." Crawford stood up. "You have to Learn to use that visor. and compensate for it. We start training tomorrow."

"And teach him to shield!" Schuldig demanded from some other room. "He thinks too damn loudly!"
