[A/N: One chapter on Kim before we get to Ron and Yori]

Chapter 1 [Two Weeks following "Revivals" ]

[Global Justice Training Headquarters—Amsterdam]

As on any given day, GJ hummed along at its usual pace. Agents proceeded to meetings. Trainees made it through their exercises. Terrorist activities were spotted and dealt with. Other threats were harshed on. The complex diverted its attention along all of these lines and never had a down moment as a result.

Even if some worried about it…..

Kim flipped through the air, bounded off any surface and tried to shut out her ever annoying instructor. She routinely made the GJ training randomizer look foolish as it flailed around to track her moves. She dove between laser blasts. She easily evaded the razor blades zipping toward her before imbedding themselves in the walls. A kick of her foot dealt with the flying poles.

Her fellow trainees had accustomed themselves to watching what they called the 'cheer show'…partially because Kim was a cheerleader and also as a backhanded slap at the instructor's put down of that role.

At least on most days that was the case…

But not on that day….

She landed in a squat on the mat in front of Will Du. Even the landing wobbled. She bore a scorch mark from the low level stun burst earlier in the exercise. Her uniform had suffered a scratch from the razor blades. She wasn't herself….

…she acted normal…

She saw her friends staring almost in disbelief. Chill! It's no big! Really! She grimaced while standing straight and waiting for the arrogant leader's assessment.

Du smirked admittedly enjoying her subpar performance. Ever since they'd first met, he'd hated how the high school girl had outwitted him in getting Duff Killigan before he could. How Dr. Director favored this agent over all others. Worse how many times she and Trousseau violated the rules. Now he savored her less than par performance. "Not bad, Possible…Not bad."

I'd like to wipe that smirk off of his face! "I can do better. Sorry, guys."

The other agents averted their eyes from the Asian instructor not wanting to watch him baiting the teenager.

"I'm sure. What's eating you? A melodrama? Or maybe your monstrous friend?" he baited sarcastically.

She bristled and wheeled around. "Excuse me? That was Zorpox! Ron was a victim like everyone else! He was possessed!"

"If you believe in demons, Possible. Nursery rhyme stuff. Admit it. Your friend's a menace," he taunted.

She clenched her teeth. She wanted to slap the obnoxious man silly. "He is NOT! Like you would know the REAL SITCH?" She clenched her fists at her sides. "At least I KNOW THE SITCH! I helped GET HIM BACK! Deal with that!"

"Enough, Agent Possible," Dr. Director interceded. "Agent Du, I'd say the same!" She strode into the room purposefully.

Kim stifled her further responses and stood at attention.

"Agent Possible needed critique on her distraction," Du replied.

"Assessment not torment, Agent Du," the leader disagreed. "Agent Possible, you may return to your quarters. Given the circumstances, it is understandable why you'd be distracted."

Kim nodded silently. He harshes on Ron and it's 'understandable? Major brain pain! She turned and hustled from the room before her eyes could tear up. She wouldn't let Du see her like that. She couldn't let anyone see her shame and fear….

…fear at how a part of her best friend wrecked havoc on several cities and injured several friends and allies….

…fear at how that part imprisoned her and his wife while serving a demon right out of Hell itself….

That was so not Ron! SO NOT! She slumped to the tiles and rubbed her forehead.

"Kim?"

She glanced ever so hesitantly to find her BF standing there. "Rick? What are you doing here?"

"Dr. Director switched my assignment," Rick informed her. He gently extended his hands toward hers. "You."

"This is too dramaish. Du gets me mad. Now you got to babysit me," she lamented.

"That's not what she said, Kim. Du was out of line. You didn't deserve that. None of us do." He embraced her. "Let's get cleaned up. Then you get some Johann's."

"Perogis?" she supposed hopefully.

"Only the best for my GF. You're worried about Ron. No big. We'll chill. Meantime awesome dinner for the best redhead in the world. Spanking?" he affirmed.

Her eyes sparkled. She smiled broadly. "Spanking!"

He kissed her forehead. "Half hour. Just be ready to enjoy." With that, he headed back to his own quarters to clean up himself.

She exhaled deeply as she swiped her access card and opened her door. Maybe Du couldn't stand her. However she still had the friends and the awesome BF. She was on her way for a smashing date with him.

Take that, Du….Enjoy the harshing from Dr. Director….
