The Kimpossible Scenario
Chapter 1
"Are you sure you want to do this Dr. Director?" Will Du said to his boss in that whiney voice that Dr. Director hated so much. "I mean… She's not even a full member of GJ yet."
"Agent Du…" Betty Director said narrowing her eye at the subordinate sitting on the opposite side of her large mahogany desk. "You know very well the abilities of Kim Possible. I feel that this… test… would be the perfect opportunity to find out just what kind of a person she really is, and how effective of a leader she would be in critical situations."
"But the test is still in the Beta stage. As you know, only one other person has taken it…"
"And he failed. Miserably." Dr. Director said before Will could finish his sentence. Will du winced at her statement, as they were both actually talking about him. "And it also worked out many kinks."
"Even with all of the problems fixed on that first run-through, don't you think it would be wise have a an actual agent do the test again?"
"You want a second shot?" Dr. Director said with a bit of a smirk.
Will took a deep breath. "May I speak candidly?"
"Proceed." Was the terse response of Betty Director.
"Dr. Director… This test is more than just a tool to gauge a person's reactions to adverse conditions. It requires a certain level of training that is only given in top schools around the country. To have an… an…"
"Amateur?" Betty offered.
"Yes! Exactly! An amateur… the unique opportunity to go through such advanced testing…"
"You think she will do better than you." The current Director of Operations of Global Justice said flatly. Will Du just sat there flustered. She had seen right through his argument, and he was beside himself with irritation.
"She's taking the test Will." Dr. Elizabeth Director said in a no-nonsense manner that caused Will Du to finally clam up.
…x x x x…
'C'mon Kim… It's summer! Why would you want to go to some stuffy old room in a utilitarian run corporation just to take a test? We took tests for the last four years of our lives!" Ron crossed his arms with an indignant look on his face. "I for one do not want to see another test until we go to college this fall."
Kim breathed out as she spoke. "Ron… It's an opportunity I just can't pass up. Betty said that I'm going to be only the second person to take this test that she and her board of directors had come up with. If everything works out, this test may just become a standard for all GJ Agents as well as the FBI, the CIA the…"
"MIB…" Ron added his own acronym.
"That's a movie Ron. This is real life here." The red head threw her arms up in the air while she spoke. "I could be the bench mark for every person who wants to belong to any of the worlds top agencies!"
"Kim it down…" Ron said as he looked around Bueno Nacho. There were only three other customers in the fast food establishment, but with Kim's last outburst, all three sets of eyes were now trained on them.
"Sorry Ron." Kim said, noticeably more subdued than before. "I'm just so psyched about this! I wonder what kind of test it will be? Multiple choice, essay… maybe it will even be an oral test. Betty was so hush-hush about what the test itself will be like, and you know how I hate surprises. But for some reason, the unknown here is what has me so keyed up."
"When is this test supposed to happen anyway?" Ron asked and took a sip of his now empty drink.
"Tomorrow morning."
"Wow… That's quick. Why so soon?"
"Betty said she wanted to see what I naturally know. I'm not really sure what she meant by that, but I'm guessing they don't want to give me a chance to study, therefore making it more like a real-life situation."
"Did she say anything about me?" The blond teen asked with hope on his face.
"Only that you can't be there with me." Kim said with her head down. She didn't like the fact that Ron was being left out, but as important as this was, Kim had a feeling Betty knew what she was doing.
"It's not fair." Ron said, crossing his arms. "Can I at least give you a ride there?"
"Of course you can Ron." The boy's girlfriend said as she reached across and lay a hand on his still crossed arms. Ron cracked a smile and uncrossed his arms, taking Kim's hand inside his two large mitts.
"Any idea how long the test may last?"
"Not certain, but I have a feeling no later than noon. I'll give you a call when I'm done, and you can come pick me up. Then we'll have the entire afternoon, just the two of us." Kim leaned across the table closer to her boyfriend.
"And then what did you have in mind Miss Possible?" Ron said as he too leaned forward, his eyelids closing half way.
"I thought we could have an afternoon picnic, just the two of us, in that new area near Lake Middleton that just opened up." The two were now inching their faces closer together.
"And what else would we be doing in such a… secluded… area?" Ron asked twitching an eyebrow up.
"Maybe a bit of this…" Kim whispered, and captured Ron's lips in a kiss that curled his toes.
…x x x x…
The next morning Kim had to call Ron early and make sure he was awake so he could pick her up in time to make it to GJ Headquarters.
"Kiiim…" His slightly whiney and muffled voice replied after picking up the phone. "It's too early. Rufus isn't even awake yet. Heck… birds aren't even awake yet."
"It's only 7 Ron. I need to be at GJ at 8:30, so c'mon Sunshine… get up."
"OK… "Ron groaned. "See you in 20 minutes."
"That's my Ron." Kim said with a smile that could be heard over the phone.
…x x x x…
Ron had indeed been able to wake up, get a shower, and was able to get his girlfriend to GJ Headquarters a good 15 minutes early. Of course, her morning greeting after the two sat in the car away from the prying eyes of Kim's parents was a great motivator.
Kim waved to Ron as he drove away from the front of GJ Central, and then entered into the front lobby. The guard looked up and acknowledged her with a smile, and waved a hand towards the metal detector that all visitors had to walk through.
Kim walked through the system without a beep, and continued on to Dr. Elizabeth Director's office, which was on the second floor of the two-story building. Kim had only been there once before, and it was when she and Ron had to make a report directly to Dr. Director after the Lowardian situation.
Kim also knew that the two-story office building was built over the subterranean area that housed Central Command for GJ. She had been there only once before when GJ thought they were on to something with their so-called… "Ron Factor" project.
When Kim walked into the reception area just outside of Dr. Director's office, the female receptionist looked up and spoke. "Go right on Miss Possible. Dr. Director is waiting for you.
Kim walked in and saw Dr. Elizabeth Director typing on her computer. The Director looked up as Kim entered, she motioned her to sit, and said she would be right with her. Kim sat in one of the two high-backed leather chairs positioned in front of the desk, and proceeded to wait until Dr. Director was finished with what she was doing.
"Kimberly… It's good to see you." Betty said after finishing what she was doing. "Are you ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." Kim said, her full attention on the woman in front of her. Dr. Elizabeth Director commanded high respect, and gave respect equally where it was warranted. Both her and Kim highly respected each other, and it showed in how the two interacted with each other.
Betty Director stood from her chair, and stretched her arms over her head. Kim winced as she heard one of the woman's shoulders emit a loud crack. "Don't ever get old Kim. It sucks." The older woman said with a smile. "Follow me and I'll take you to our testing area."
The two walked in relative silence out of her office, and down a hallway to a standard elevator. Kim was a bit surprised when Dr. Director pressed the down arrow button, which the good Director noticed.
"We don't use transport tubes all the time you know." She said with a smile, reading the young woman's mind.
The two entered the elevator after a short wait, and the car descended quickly. Barry Manilow music wafted from the speakers, and Kim couldn't help but give Betty a questioning look when she heard the song Copacabana start.
"Hey…" Betty said, "At least it's not the Muzak version."
The elevator slowed and dinged, announcing it's arrival at their destination. "This way." Was all Dr. Director said, quickly taking the hallway to the left. Kim dutifully followed, as she had no idea where inside the complex Betty had taken her. She had only been in a few places in GJ, and this wasn't one of them.
It was a short walk to a set of double doors, and Betty pushed one of them open, holding it for Kim to walk through. Inside the room was what looked like a standard classroom. It had three rows of long tables with chairs facing the front of the room, where a large dry-erase board was hanging on the wall. Off to one side was s small desk, and a pulpit that could be used by a teacher or professor for lectures.
"Take a seat Kim. One of our agents will be here soon to administer the test. Just relax, and you'll do fine." Dr. Director Gave Kim a genuinely warm smile. "Don't worry. I have faith in you."
"But…" Kim started to say. She was starting t finally get a bit nervous.
"I wish I could tell you more, but it may affect your performance." With that, the Director left Kim alone in the room, closing the door quietly.
…x x x x…
Kim picked a chair near the front of the room, and sat down with her hands folded in front of her on the table. She saw a clock on the wall and noticed that is almost 8:30.
"I hope the instructor won't be late." Kim said aloud, if only just to hear her voice, as it was eerily quiet.
The clock struck 8:30, and no one entered the room.
"That's odd…" Kim said to herself. "GJ is anything if at least punctual. I hope everything is…"
Suddenly there was a muffled 'whump' sound, and Kim felt the table shake slightly under her hands. Her eyes went wide at what could be happening. "What was that?"
She heard another 'whump', and felt another shudder, but this time it was a bit stronger. Suddenly a klaxon blared over a small speaker mounted in one corner of the room. After the irritating noise ceased, a voice came over the speaker.
"Attention all GJ Agents. Report to your posts, and remain there for further instructions. This is not a drill… I repeat, this is not a drill."
Immediately Kim went to the doors, opened one, and stuck her head out in the hall. She couldn't see anyone at first, but she could hear many voices, and the sound of running feet receding away from her.
One lone GJ Agent ran past her from the opposite direction that she was looking, and her hand quickly grabbed the man's uniform, causing him to abruptly stop.
"What is going on?" Kim demanded and she saw fear in the man's eyes.
"We're being attacked! Find a safe place, and stay there!" The unknown agent yelled into her face.
"But I can help!" Kim said as she shook the man's shoulders. "Just tell me who's attacking!"
"Do NOT tell her anything." A voice that Kim immediately recognized shouted behind her. Releasing the agent's clothing, Kim turned around and faced GJ's most obnoxious agent, William Ignacious Du.
"Will!" Kim said immediately. "I can help! You know that! Just tell me what is going on!" The sound of a much closer explosion shook the hallway, causing dust to fall from the walls and ceiling. The lights flickered, but stayed on.
Will Du huffed as he stood in front of this insufferable amateur. He couldn't just leave Kimberly here, as she could possibly get hurt, or worse. Kim noticed his hesitation.
"See Will… You know that I can help. Can you tell me what is going on?"
"Follow me." He growled, and took off running with Kim directly on his heels.
…x x x x…
Will Du could run fast. Very fast. Kim was hard pressed to keep up with him, and if they didn't have to turn corners and dodge other agents, Kim had a feeling he could out distance her in a long race. But in this case, she was able to keep a respective distance behind him.
The hall was starting to get more and more crowded as the two got closer to their destination, and when Kim and Will burst through a set of glass double-doors, Kim immediately recognized GJ Central.
There were three large screens in the front of the room mounted on a circular platform. In front of that was a curved bank of about 12 computer consoles, each one of them manned by a GJ Agent.
Behind them was a single large console, which had a high-backed chair, and in this chair sat non-other than Dr. Elizabeth Director. She was typing furiously at her console, and spoke into a handheld communications device that looked like a cross between a cell phone and Kim's Kimmunicator.
"I TOLD you… Get those agents to sector 4 immediately, or we are going to lose shielding to our generators!"
The entire room shook with another explosion that sounded twice as loud as the ones Kim had heard in the classroom. The amazing thing was that no one seemed to pay any mind to the explosion, and continued to do whatever they had been doing.
"Kimberly!" Dr. Director said when she noticed her and Will enter the room. "I'm glad you're here! We have a situation…"
"Dr. Director!" A heavily Russian accented voice shouted. "Ve have an incoming message. Shall I put it on the viewer?"
"Yes Mr. Lenhov… Do it."
The center screen blinked from an outside image of the complex, which had been showing the smoking ruins of buildings, to a face that no one recognized. However, the race of being that was now glowering at them was immediately known by everyone in the room.
"Lowardians…" Betty Director muttered to herself.
"People of Earth… This message is for the military group that calls themselves… G… J. I am Commander Wardawg, of the first Battalion. We have come in response to an emergency call from Warhoc and Warmonga. Our sensors do not detect them anywhere on the planet, so I am assuming that this so-called… Global Justice… is holding them prisoner in a shielded facility.
"Release them at once and I might… might, consider NOT blowing up this miserable planet. You have 15 of your Earth minutes to respond."
The Lowardian Commander then extended a hand out with palm down, formed a fist, and then slapped it onto his chest. He then extended it back out, again with palm down. "For Lowardia!"
The screen then went black as the communications link was severed. Everyone in the room was struck silent by the ultimatum given.
The only thing that was going through Kimberly Anne Possible's mind? "Where is Ron?"
