A/N: I got the idea for this fic almost right after I had finished uploading Trouble in Paradise and I did start it a few weeks after that. Didn't work on it for a number of months until last June. Hence the long delay. But here it finally is.

Disclaimer: Alas, Captain Planet is still not mine. But my OC Kim and her pet Buddy are.

Prologue

Cap came to. At first he didn't know where he was or how he had got there. The superhero had to shake his head a number of times to clear it. He stood up, still feeling a bit wobbly but able to stay on his feet. Looking around he realized he was aboard Blight's ship.

All of a sudden, everything came back to him. He and Kim had been on their way to a place only he knew for his girlfriend's birthday, the destination a surprise for her. Gaia had cautioned him to be alert because she had sensed something was up. But things had happened so fast that neither of them had had a chance to do anything. Two canisters had flown at them. Kim was out cold in no time but Cap had managed to stay conscious for a moment more before he had blacked out, as well. The last thing he had seen had been the net that had extended to catch them. Had it been the combined effect of the gases that had left him so disoriented or something totally different the doc had come up with?

The last of the fog cleared his head. Kim! Where was she? The superhero looked around and spotted his girlfriend lying on her back on the floor a short distance away. She was still unconscious but was showing signs of waking up. Cap went to the woman.

Or would have if he hadn't met a transparent wall blocking him from getting to her. So he was forced to just watch as his girlfriend slowly returned to consciousness. She seemed to be alright if you ignored the minor scrapes she had. Cap could have just broken the barrier but had a feeling he would need his strength for later so refrained from doing that. It took a lot of willpower, though, his boyfriend side fighting with the superhero side. The latter won but only slightly. Better to just wait and see what would happen. There didn't seem to be any immediate danger present, anyway.

Kim groaned but didn't open her eyes yet. "Come on, honey," the superhero encouraged her. "Time to wake up."

She stirred and opened her eyes. Her whole body felt sore. "What happened?" the woman asked.

"You're both my prisoners, that's what happened," a voice said before Cap could reply.

The superhero eyed the villain. "What's this all about, Blight?" Capturing him he could understand but why had she taken Kim as well? Had the doctor just been impatient and hadn't cared whether or not they were both taken?

"This is getting a little old, isn't it?" Kim asked, uneasy. She had hoped never to meet the scientist up close again. Then the woman noticed the transparent wall separating them and was going to protest but noticed the bandage on the crook of her arm. Had Blight taken a sample while she was unconscious? What for? She caught the superhero's attention and showed the bandage to him. A peek under the gauze told them a sample had indeed been taken.

Cap was equally confused. Why take a sample of his girlfriend's blood of all things? He did have some inkling of it. It just couldn't be possible, could it? Well, hopefully they would find out eventually.

"There's nothing in my blood that could interest you," Kim said, unaware of his thoughts.

"On the contrary," Blight stated. "There is."
