Kim's head felt like it was cracking, her lungs hurt with every breath she took, and her vision was stinted. Her hearing was off at first, it was as if everything was far away then it was extremely loud. She could feel a breeze, but she didn't know where she was. Every time she tried to remember what happen, her head hurt like she had been drinking, even though she hadn't. What she could vaguely remember, was that she had been on a mission, then the rest was fuzzy. As she tried to move her body, nothing occurred. Then she felt a shiver run down her spine and little goose bumps formed on her skin. She then let out a small sneeze, and sniffled.
Kim could hear Ann's voice in her ear, but it had a somewhat of a mechanized tone to it. "Kimmy are you okay, can hear me?". Kim tried pushing herself off of the bed she was laying on, but her body ached and was sore all over. It was if she had gone twelve rounds with Shego on a bad day. She was able to set up straight though, with much restraint, but her eyes were unfocused and the light hurt her. She could make out that she was wearing some kind of gown, and found that the breeze she had felt earlier had come from the open back of the gown.
Kim looked over to where the voices were coming from, and had to squint her eyes to see the vague outline of her mother. "Mom, it's cold. Can you turn up the heat?" Her throat was hoarse, like she has been screaming all night and hadn't had anything to drink. With some determination, Kim stood and padded her way to her mom only to hit a glass wall of some sort.
Kim fell onto her butt after she hit the glass. Her legs felt like jelly, though the only thing that was hurting her more right now was her pride! How could she be this weak, and in front of her mother? That was the nail in her coffin.
Kim's heads was still swimming and her head still hurt, but at least she wasn't feeling so cold anymore. She wasn't sure where that window had come from, she knew she wasn't at home but right now that didn't matter. With some will, she was able to stand but still couldn't see very well. She pressed her hands against the glass wall once more.
Kim's next words were a little too light for her liking, but everything still hurt. "Mom, where are you? What the hell happened?" Kim's face turned a slight shade of red, as she hated to swear in front of her mother. Ann's voices was soft, but still had that mechanized quality to it as she spoke. "Kim its okay, you're safe! Honey I know you must feel out of it, but do you remember what happen to you before you woke up?" Kim could hear the concern and sincerity in her mothers voice." I wish I could remember, alls I remember is that I was on a mission and after that it's blank. What happened mom?" Kim could feel her voice giving out on her as she had to hide the little fear that was building up inside of her. The worst part of it all, was feeling so weak and powerless in front of her own mother.
As Kim was trying to talk, she was also trying to figure out where she was. She knew she was in a small room and that the glass in front of her was tinted, as well is that there were more people than just her mother on the other side of the glass. But she couldn't make out who they were, for all she could see it could be Betty, her father, or any number of people. Some things were not adding up, why was her mother here in this room as well as herself? There was something wrong, but her mind wasn't getting in gear and it was maddening to her. Kim started to repeat her family's motto like it was a chant, forcing herself to stop being so weak. It was working, kind of. She was able to stand on her own two legs now, without feeling like she was going to fall. Her eyes and thinking were a bit harder to fix, but it was working little by little.
Kim breathed in through her nose, and exhaled slowly. She could feel her mother on the other side of the glass, almost like she could see her. But Kim's eyes were closed, at least she thought they were closed. At that, Kim lost her sense of balance and fell on her bottom again. She wasn't able to see or feel her mother, but it almost seemed like she was chuckling at her for the fall and it just made Kim's cheeks redden even more. Ann's voice was filled with laughter as she spoke, " Are you ok Bubblebutt? That's the third time you fell. Are you okay?". Kim hated that nickname, but it was something only her mother ever called her. It reassured her that it was truly her mother that was there. "Mom you know I hate it when you call me that." Kim forced herself back on her feet, this time she was able to stand without falling.
Kim placed her hand back on the glass, she wanted to see if she could feel her mother again. It took a little more time, but she was able to, which surprised and frightened her. She could feel one other body in the room besides her mother, but she wasn't sure who it was. Alls she knew, was that they had a larger heat index than her mother. Kim spoke again, her voice still as scratchy as before. "Mom, who else is in there with you?" She kept her eyes shut, but she could feel both her mother and the other body moving. Ann's voice held some surprise when she answered. "What do you mean honey? Can you see us?" Kim's voice was a bit softer, " I am not sure how, but it's like I can feel and see you in the room. It's just you and one other, but there is something odd about the other. They're giving off more energy, so to say, than you. Kim was trying very hard to both see this new way and not lose it. It was like seeing her, but not quite so.
Her mother was glowing, but the other person was like a ball of bright light like her. It was like they were torches, giving off so much energy. She couldn't tell what they were wearing or what expression was on their faces, it was more like seeing an outline of energy. It was still a bit scary, but as long as she knew she wasn't alone it wasn't so bad. As odd as it was, she didn't like to be alone. Her body wasn't hurting as much at least, which was a good thing. She was also getting hungry and could go for something to drink as well.
Kim could see and feel that her mother was talking to someone, and not too long after, the other person was walking out of the room. "Did I say something wrong mom?" Kim wasn't feeling the best, but she hated to think that she upset someone. Ann spoke with a caring voice, "It's okay, we need to get you something else to put on, unless you'd rather wear a gown all day." Kim could only blush at that thought, she almost forgot that she was only in a gown. She still couldn't remember what happened to her clothes, but at least her sight was coming back. Even if was coming in little pieces. Kim had to laugh a little to herself, as an old line popped in her head from Star Wars about being in a carbonite for so long. Yes, she was a little bit of a geek, but that was just one of the things that made her unique. Getting that out of her system, she could tell that something was happening. There was a panel opening in side of her room that held some clothes. They were heavy and not her kind of clothes. There was some sort of pattern, but at the moment she couldn't place a color to any of the pieces of clothing. Color was muted to her eyes, but at least, she thought, that it would come back to her in a short while. "Mom, what are these? Where are my clothes?" She knew she sounded a little whiney, but she liked her clothes.
Kim didn't get a response, but decided to put the clothes on. Luckily they came with a new bra and panties. She slid them on under her gown, even though her mother has seen her naked she didn't want to put on a show for anyone. She did the same thing with the bra, pulling her arms under the gown and slipping it on. Once it was on, she removed the gown quickly, and got into the other garments to cover her cold, naked body. She wasn't sure where they got these, they were just her size, but they were warm and she was happy to be covered.
Ann's voice was soft and caring as she spoke. " Kimmy, I am opening the door. Are you ready?" Kim was extremely happy for this, and had to resist the urge of jumping up and down like a little kid. She had some questions to ask her mom as well, when she entered the room. "Mom where are we? I know we're not in GJ, but where are we?" Kim's heart rate was picking up, there was some fear inside her. She would never show it though, as she was Kim Possible, she wasn't ever supposed to be scared. Ann's response was quick and held some fear of her own, but there was also some hope as well. "Honey you have to calm down. Once you get out, I'll explain everything to you. You have been out for quite a while." It was a bit difficult for her to not to tackle her mother, but she was able to control herself enough from doing it as the glass began to open. She could feel the cold air that rushed in as soon as the glass was open, and see the blurry body outline of her mother. Though her eyesight was getting better, it was still a bit hard to see things.
Kim had to shiver a little after the door opened, it was quite cold in there. When her mother stepped forward, she grabbed her into a huge bear hug. From what Kim was able to see, she could make out the distinct outline of her mothers short, red hair. At first Kim was a bit timid to the hug, but soon relaxed into it. She was reassured that it was her mother by the scent of her all too known perfume she wore.
