Chapter One: Reborn

Kim Possible was dead. That headline rocked the Villain World to its core. Many of Kim's enemies gave up villainy when news reached them of Kim's death. The villain game had a certain charm to it when you had a capable adversary to fight, and without Kim Possible, life became dull, especially for a certain green antihero. Shego refused to believe the cover story of Kim's death. An explosion at a research facility couldn't take out Kim. Kim survived multiple tangles with Shego, not only survived but held her own. A person that strong would not go easily into the cold arms of Death. Shego knew Kim would fight for her life no matter the opponent, and Kim would come back. The redhead had to come back and make life interesting again for the antihero. Shego sighed as she pondered her grief and stood. In place of her normal catsuit, Shego wore jeans and a Guns 'n' Roses shirt. I won't wear my signature look again until Kimmie is back. Shego vowed as she left for a midnight jog.

The girl formerly known as Kim Possible sighed as she drove her bike into a small town in the Southwest called Jasper, Nevada with early morning rays of sunlight shining over the tiny area of civilization. Small, quaint, and peaceful…. Kim observed. It's the perfect place to start over. Kim sighed as she met the local realtor for a walk through. The house was a small two bedroom, one bath cookie cutter prefabricated building. As Kim looked around the neighborhood, she noticed a boy with jet black hair leave the house next to the one she was viewing on a beautiful blue racer. Kim's old instincts pinged that something was off about the bike, but for the moment, Kim ignored the teen and his bike. After looking around the house, Kim closed the deal and decided to buy the small house and make it her own.

That night, old demons arose to greet her. Kim was back in that fireball expecting to die as she stared into the flames set by Dementor. Kim screamed and coughed as smoke choked her. Her eyes grew heavy and her vision blurry. Then, Kim passed out right as a silver flash took her sight. Kim woke up screaming and felt the plated armor of the Centurion Project against her skin. The former super spy looked around the room hastily and let herself relax again as the armor returned to its original form, a bracelet bound to Kim's left wrist. Kim closed her eyes and steadied her breathing. When the woman got up and examined herself, she smiled contently, took a shower, and headed to her first day at a local burger joint that seemed to be the only place to get a job in town.

Jack was having one of THOSE days. First, Arcee was called out to a mission in the early morning, so Jack was forced to fall back on his old ten speed. Then, the chain fell off on his way to work meaning Jack had to run to make it to work. As Jack made it to the employee entrance, he thought, At least running from 'Cons is keeping me in shape. Just when Jack thought his day couldn't get worse, Vince decided to show his ugly mug.

"Hey, shrimp! Where's your bike?" Jack sighed. "She's in the shop; the spark plugs were in need of changing." Vince grinned. "Then, I can rough you up for beating me and trying to take my girl a few days ago!" Vince growled as he gripped Jack's shirt and and picked him up off the floor. A woman's voice called out. "Hey, Smartass…" Before he could react, Vince was sent to the ground by a mean left hook. "…leave the guy out of it! He's just doing his job." Jack looked up at his rescuer to see a woman in her late teens or early twenties. The woman wore a tan ensemble of a light jacket, white t-shirt, and jeans with matching tennis shoes. Jack quickly got to his feet and blushed. "Thanks. I'm Jack." Jack offered her a hand, "Alex." Kim responded as she gave him a few shakes. As Jack looked at Kim, he noticed something was off. Her hair color wasn't naturally blonde, and "Alex" had a look in her emerald eyes that screamed of pain.

Kim was a fast learner and took to the duties easily. Flipping burgers wasn't glamorous, but it gave her a paycheck to live on. Customers weren't that bad with the exception of one or two really tedious orders and the odd rude jerk. All in all, it wasn't a bad job, but it did make Kim reminisce. Strangely, she thought of not her friends but Shego. I wonder what she's been up to since I left. Kim thought. A part of her wanted to be fighting Shego again. The adrenaline, the speed, the banter…Kim missed it so, but she would never openly admit to enjoying Shego's elegant duels. That was only a secret for Kim and Kim alone.

After her shift was over, Kim walked outside and saw three purple cars screaming towards her. She was about to activate the Centurion Project when the cars changed course and started to go after Jack. Strangely, Jack just rolled his eyes and mounted his bike calmly. Kim's eyes went wide as she watched Jack and the bike rocket off. When she caught up with them on her own bike, Kim was not prepared for what she saw. Three roughly humanoid robotic forms stood and glared at Jack. Kim expected the boy to be scared, but he only smiled and got off of the bike.

The bike's parts shifted and grew before Kim's eyes into a sleek, blue-clad feminine warrior. Beautiful as she was, Kim knew this…femme was also extremely deadly if you crossed her. Where did that word 'femme' come from? Kim barely had time to process the thought. Through the Centurion Armor's dormant sensory enhancements, Kim heard the scream of jet engines four klicks out and closing. "Ambush!" Kim growled. Before the group of aerial Vehicons could add to the fight, they were intercepted by Kim. The woman sighed in happiness as adrenaline coursed through her. "The is a private party! You weren't invited!" Kim growled as she took down the drones easily.

When Kim returned to Jack and the fembot, Arcee raised and optic ridge at the enhanced human. "Who are you?" Kim tried to lie. "I'm…" Arcee's optics glowed for a split second before the femme cut her off. "You're Kim Possible, but you are rumored to be dead." Arcee eyed the armor quickly, and her optics narrowed as the armor retreated into the form of a simple bracelet. "Ratchet, I need a Bridge." Kim was shocked when a portal opened a few yards away. Jack looked at Kim. "Where did you get the knockoff Apex Armor?" He asked. Kim shrugged. "I don't know what-" Jack held up a hand. "We'll talk about it with Optimus back at base." Kim's last thought before she entered the portal was, Who's Optimus?

The 'jog' turned into a search for Kim. Shego liked the fact that even her brothers thought her Glow allowed her to generate plasma. In truth, Shego's Glow granted her super-speed which she used to heat the the air around her hands until it became plasma. She hated using raw speed because it felt so barbaric and brutish to her and reminded Shego of how her brother used his Glow to beat the crap out of any obstacle until it gave in with no finesse whatsoever. Now was not the time for finesse. Shego used her knowledge of frequency dynamics that aided her in controlling the plasma she created to zero in on Kim's unique frequency. "I'm coming, Kimmie." Shego said as she vanished into a wormhole she created which would take the antihero straight to Kim.
