After the Mathter aka 'homework villain' as Ron liked to call him was taken in to prison and all the security in the place either disabled and/or destroyed by Kim and Ron. The lair and all its technology went up for sale at an auction house in the US of A as a way to pay for the lawyer's legal fees.
The Mathter shouts at his lawyer through his cell bars, "You SOLD off my lair? But the technology in it was…"
His lawyer a Mr. Jim Scrupulous rolls his eyes and says, "My legal fees are expensive and I did get you your own cell and managed to cut the sentence time didn't I?"
Mathter growls before shouting, "Yes but my lair! My greatest achievement, the Infinity Dome…" He is cut off again as Jim Scrupulous waves his right hand in the air and says, "Is gone. All of it and sold off to a corporation that will probably just scrap the whole thing for the spare parts that it is worth and besides since you invented it. You should be able to re-invent it right?"
Mathter nods and grinds his teeth as he says, "Well yes but it is the randomness of all this! I won't forget this!"
Jim Scrupulous waves bye as he turns and starts walking off, "Yeah, yeah… I'll see you when you get out in a couple of years."
Mathter shakes the bars hard and growls darkly, "I definitely am putting a placeholder in my memory for you."

A man sits at a large desk and grumbles as he reads some papers in his hands. Most of it was marked in red. He mutters, "There has to be a way to turn a profit next quarter…"
Just then a female voice comes on through the speaker on his desk says, "Sir, Francis has arrived for his appointment."
He presses the button next to the speaker and says, "Send him in Ms. Jeanne" before returning to his papers.
The door to the large room opens up and a tall man in a sharp business suit walks in and he approaches the desk with eagerness. He says, "Sir, you will not believe the amazing discovery I have for you!" He pauses a moment to glance at the desk which reveals several gold plated items, including the name plate that read, "Cruells Kingdom" and begins to second-guess himself as he sees Mr. Cruells glance at him with contempt.
After a few minutes of awkward silence, Cruells says in a gruff manner without even looking at him, "The only amazing discovery that you could offer is something that will bring this company out of the red for the next quarter, Jaffear."
Jaffear snaps out of his nervousness and confidently says, "Actually, I think I may have a way to do exactly just that Mr. Cruells and put us back into the green even."
Cruells looks up from his papers with curiosity and mild hope before he says, "Really? And what way is that?"
Jaffear smiles a little as he says, "Do you remember that auction recently where we acquired a lot of villain property?" He waits until he gets the nod to continue and says, "Well, among the property was this…" He places the diagram for the Infinity Dome on Cruells desk very quickly before resuming his speech, "The Infinity Dome!"
Cruells looks at it with a curious eye and half studies it as he says, "And why do I care about this big dome?"
Jaffear's smile grows as he says, "Because Sir, I believe it will become the next big teaching instrument for one of America's greatest weaknesses… Math." He takes a deep breath and says, "You see Sir with this dome we have a way to make math challenging both mentally and physically. All a math teacher will have to do is take his students to one and have them battle with their math minds and if there is one thing that kids these days like to do is to battle each other and within the confines of this dome they can do it all! They will run around getting the much needed physical exercise while keeping them alert as well as use all the math they have learned to fight or defend well!" He couldn't help contain his excitement as he quickly adds, "A small group of testers have already gone through a M-Dome and you should see it! All of the testers have their noses buried in math books in preparation for their next battle!"
Cruells thinks about it for a bit before he says, "Why was the name M-Dome chosen?"
Jaffear says, "That is because calling it the Math Dome turned off a few of our testers to the idea of trying it out, but by calling it the M-Dome as suggested by one of them. They had no more trepidation about going into it."
Cruells nods as he could feel the money flowing into his pockets already but he kept calm in his face and voice, the perfect poker player as he tells him, "Continue…"
Jaffear nods with a smile, "I have already done a bit of research and talked with a few other others and I am confident that we can have tournaments for the best M-Warrior, get schools to offer scholarships and even a few companies that are looking for bright mathematical minds to offer jobs!"
Cruells grabs a pen from his desk and taps it in thought before he says, "Suppose the villain comes after us for his technology?"
Jaffaear smiles as he says, "I already have spoken to our legal department. They say that we own the technology fair and square. Legally he can't touch us if he tries to demand any money from us for use of his Infinity Dome."
Cruells grins at him before laughing and says, "Very good! You have thought this through right down to the last detail!
Jaffear smiles back at him and says, "Thank you sir! Should we get started?"
Cruells nods at him, "Yes, get started immediately!"
(Nearly a Year Later)
Kim calls up Wade on the Kimmunicator to find that he isn't there again. She sighs and softly whispers to herself, "Wade better not be at the M-Dome again or I'll need to seriously start thinking about finding a new website manager."
A few moments later the call is redirected and Wade is seen running around, dodging some mathematical blasts. He says, "Hey Kim, do you need something? I am kind of busy at the moment."
Kim restrains herself from sighing and says, "Yeah Wade, I was wondering if there were any missions."
Wade smiles a little says, "One moment…" He fires a mental math blast from his skull, which apparently does the job as he jumps into the air and shouts, "Yes! Another one for the Star Avatar!"
Kim says, "Focusing here Wade…" A sentence that she never thought she'd have to use much with Wade but given his interest in the M-Dome, it was something that seemed to need a lot of repeating.
Wade stops celebrating and says, "Sorry Kim, got caught up in the moment. Are you sure you don't want to play the game? It is really fun and great exercise. I've lost so much weight that I think I'm almost at my ideal weight."
Wade nods and says, "And I'm happy for you that you're finally getting into shape, really but what about the missions Wade?"
Wade points at the screen as he says, "Oh that, I set it up so that your Kimmunicator will have instant access to any and all requests, plus I set up an artificial intelligence to know which ones are the most serious ones that you need to be alerted to. The fact that you haven't gotten any alerts today means it is quiet today."
Kim says, "Ok, and when were you going to tell me about this little upgrade?"
Wade rubs the back of his head with hand as he says, "Sorry, kind of slipped my mind. I was going to do it before I left for the dome but then I got this challenge over the computer and well…" "And you left immediately without remembering to tell me about the upgrade, I think I get the picture Wade." Kim says, finishing Wade's sentence for him.
Wade decides to change the topic and says, "How's college going for you and Ron? And is he doing ok with Global Justice's teachers?"
Kim smiles a little as she says, "College is going great with Ron really improving a lot in all his classes and he's getting an easy A+ in his cooking class. His mission skills have also really improved with GJ's teachers, he isn't just a sidekick anymore… he is a partner and hero just like me." She looks over at Ron in the kitchen where he is cooking a meal for their date and says softly to Wade, "I am so proud of him and I haven't told him yet but I have gone from thinking to knowing that I really love him."
Wade smiles big and says, "That's great Kim!"
Suddenly a voice from behind Kim says, "What's great Kim?"
Kim turns around and sees Ron with two plates, and two champagne glasses with a big bottle of apple cider in champagne bottle form. She smiles at him, "Oh, I was just telling Wade how you have really been improving in all your classes lately."
Ron grins as he turns towards the table and with a spin, places her plate at the her seat and his plate at his seat perfectly before he says, "Well Kim, I seem to have some great inspiration for doing better and what better inspiration than you?" He places the glasses down before opening the bottle, filling them with graceful flourish.
Kim lightly blushes at Ron's compliment, something that she has found herself doing more ever since she came to the conclusion that she loved him and that he was the one for her. Now all she needed to do was wait and see if Ron would come to the same conclusion. She beams at him and says, "Thank you Ron and dinner just smells absolutely delicious as usual."
Wade chuckles and says, "Well I can see that you two are busy. I'll let you go Kim. Call me if you need anything else."
Kim doesn't take her eyes off of Ron as she says, "Later Wade" before pressing the button to close the connection with practiced ease.
Ron moves to Kim's chair and pulls it back for her as he says with elegant flourish, "May I offer thy beautiful lady a seat?" He flashes his natural smile at her.
Kim wonders if Ron can hear her heartbeat that beats in her chest, as it seems a bit loud to hear before she nods, not trusting her voice at the moment. She moves to the seat and just as she sits down, Ron scoots it forward with perfect timing so that she sat down just right.
Ron turns to go to his seat and promptly trips on the corner of the rug that the table was sitting on top of, causing him to fall right on his face. He immediately hops up as he calls out, "I am ok!" He had expected some eye rolling, an amused sigh or something but all he got was more of that odd smile from Kim that she'd given him lately. Taking it as a good thing, he moves quickly over to his seat and sits down.
(Meanwhile at the M-Dome or what used to be the Mathter's Infinity Dome)
Wade turns to his fans in the stands where many of them were waving signs cheering him on and one was even waving a phone number with the words "CALL ME!" under it in smaller print. He waves and smiles but it wasn't for his fans that he was smiling for, it was for his friends. He knew that after the Warmonga/Warhawk incident, everyone was a big fan of Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable. After all, it was one thing to save the world before the world knew it was in any sort of actual crisis but it was another to save the world when it was made very aware of the crisis. Still, the reason for his smile was because Kim had still felt close enough as a friend to him to tell him that she loved Ron before telling Ron and he had no doubt that he'd been failing a bit in his webmaster and friend role lately but the M-Dome was just so… addictive!
Wade had gone in to try it a mere week after it had opened because it had been such a big hit right away. As it grew in popularity, the major schools and corporations got into the educational game where it offered cash, prizes, scholarships and even jobs for the best and old enough. He already had a pretty cool and high paying job in addition to working at Kim's website which allowed him access to technology that had allowed him to make her battlesuit and many of the other gadgets that she used for saving the world with.
Wade walks over to the concession area where a majority of people were getting drinks or snacking down on something to regain their strength. The majority of the food was the healthy sort for bringing out the best in the Warriors. On huge flat-screen televisions were reruns of the latest battles including his truly as well as ones currently going on at that moment.
Wade wonders for a moment if Kim even bothered to think that things like her gadgets were not cheap and where the money came from. He supposes that someday he could tell her that Global Justice had started to pay for anything they needed after the second time she helped them which in turn had helped develop the battlesuit much faster than he would have going through his usual means at the company he worked for.
Wade sits down at a table and drinks from his bottle of water before a girl walks up holding an autograph book in her arms and asks him to sign it to Nerima. He does so quickly and wonders how many more he'll have to sign before his mother comes to pick him up as he starts to drink more water from his bottle.
As if in answer to his thoughts, his mother walks up to him from behind and says, "Did you have a good time playing here and signing autographs for cute girls, honey?"
Wade barely resists the urge to spit out his drink and instead nearly chokes as he tries to swallow resulting in him coughing with his mother kneeling beside him and patting his back to help.
Wade wipes at his mouth to get rid of some spilled water and quickly says, "Mom! You know I have a girlfriend! Saying stuff like that will only make her jealous!"
Mrs. Load aka his mother, just smiles at her son and says, "Don't worry, I was just only teasing. I think she'll understand."
Wade grumbles too low for her to hear, "Not likely…"
Mrs. Load stands up and says, "Come along, it is time for supper now."
Wade is about to say that he wanted to stay a little longer and watch some more fights when his tummy growls at him loud enough for them both to hear.
Mrs. Load smiles teasingly at him and says, "Looks like your stomach agrees with me."
Wade sighs and nods, "Fine, I am coming." He gets up and together they leave the large M-Dome built on some large property in Middleton.
AN: Well everyone, I hope you'll enjoy this story. It was something that popped into my head while I was watching a KP episode and heard the words, "They should totally teach this way in Trig" from Ron with Kim agreeing. It made me wonder just how such a thing could come about in their reality. I think this will be a fun story to read if you give it a chance. So if you have any thoughts about this story or any suggestions, I would love to hear them.
As usual all votes, thoughts, ideas, suggestions and more are always welcome.
