This story is an AT, Alternate Timeline. I've gone back to before Kim was even born in this one and so I am rewriting the series as I see fit to my plot line.

Kyzano

She balanced her school life and homework with her job and when that job involves saving the world from evil on an almost daily basis, life can get complicated real fast. But this teen wasn't just anyone, she was Kim Possible. But even though the girl could do anything, life isn't exactly easy when you're not human.


Chapter I: Birth

She didn't want to remember when this all began, when these people took her from her husband, her home; her life.

But she did. Every day that passed in this prison she remembered, oh how she remembered. That night, God knows how long ago, she had been looking forward to going home and spending time with her husband after a long surgery at work. The surgery had ended at 12:17 am; there had been complications in what should have been a routine six hour operation. Instead it had taken about eight and, as one would expect, Ann Possible was a tired woman.

She'd been waiting for the bus, she and her husband had only been married for a year and so they only had one car. His work was further then hers so they would leave together and he would drop her off at work every morning on the way to his. Today was one of the rare days where he was working a longer shift then she was. The surgeon had only been waiting for five minutes when a car slowly drove up to the bus stop and opened the door. Ann didn't take much notice of the car; people came and went as they pleased. But when no one left the vehicle she tilted her head slightly in wonder. Then it had all gone black.

When Ann opened her eyes again she was very aware that she was not anywhere that resembled home. Nowhere even close. Strapped down to a table and completely naked Ann tried to turn her head to see where she was, but even her head was held in place. Fear coursed through her heart as she started to panic, barely noticing the various tubes that ran into her veins.

"She's awake! Sir Experiment 369 is awake!"

"Excellent… proceed as planned Doctor. You know what to do."

There was a pause of silence that echoed through… wherever she was being held; she couldn't tell it was all black.

"Of course sir… I shall not fail you this time." That voice made Ann's skin crawl. Despair blossomed in her soul as the sound of footsteps approached her. The sound of metal again metal, a familiar sound to the incapacitated surgeon. Something metal, most likely sharp, had been lifted off a tray. A sound she usually heard in her workplace.

"See to it that you do not."

Those were the last condemning words that Ann heard before the agony started its slow torture. That had been… well Ann didn't know how long ago that had been. All she knew was that she'd stopped struggling long ago. Something seemed off about today, usually her tormentor had visited twice by now. Perhaps she was being given a reprieve? Ann doubted it. She hadn't been moved once in the entirety of the time she had been in this hellish place. Bracing herself as the all too familiar sound of machinery whirred to life, a liquid filling the tubes that fed into her body. The pain was unimaginable, but the red haired surgeon had stopped screaming long ago.

She never knew how long the machinery fed her the liquid pain, but as the machines powered down a loud sound… an explosion? That sound reminded her of her husband as a pang of sorrow struck her heart. A moment later that familiar rumble sounded again, this time far closer. It stung her ears and the sounds of tumbling rock and gunfire cut through the usual silence of her prison. For the first time in a long time Ann opened her eyes, only to be blinded by light and shutting them quickly closed again.

A single shot deafened her as it rang throughout the room causing Ann to flinch at the harsh noise. Attempting to open her eyes again Ann squinted as she watched someone, someone with a gun approach her. She attempted to lift her head and the person with the gun stopped then seemed to say something, Ann still couldn't hear through the ringing that echoed in her ears. But as that headache inducing sound dimmed she watched, her eyes still getting used to the light, the person begin to approach her again.

"Ma'am please remain calm, we're here to help." Female, the voice was female, authoritative. More people spilled into the room and as a gloved hand lightly placed itself onto her own Ann closed her eyes as they watered over, tears running down her cheeks. Ann was only vaguely aware of her bindings being removed, wincing only out of reflex as the tubes were removed from her body. She was wrapped in something and then lifted by a pair of strong arms, cradling her like a child as she was taken away from her nightmare.

The hours that passed after that were a blur. Ann didn't know what happened, how it happened and to be honest she didn't really care. The officer that had rescued her stayed with Ann as she was taken from the place she had been forced to undergo those tortures. Somewhere along the way Ann fell into slumber, but it was far from peaceful.

When Ann awoke she found herself squinting. This place seemed so familiar. A steady rhythmic sound beeped softly in the room and it was that sound that reminded her of a place she used to work. It felt like a lifetime ago since she'd last been in a place like this. A hospital.

"Ma'am I know this is difficult for you but please you cannot move. We are still waiting on the tests to see what was done to you." That was the voice of her saviour. It sounded worried and a touch surprised.

Ann opened her mouth to try to speak, but she hadn't used her voice in so long. The woman swallowed in an effort to clear her throat. "Wh…ere…?"

"Ma'am please don't strain yourself. You are in the hospital inside the Global Justice Base. You were brought here a week ago after I found you in one of the Worldwide Evil Empire lairs. Do... you have a name?"

The last part was almost hesitantly said, not like an uncaring soldier but the sound carried as if it was spoken by someone who was worried about a friend. "Ann…" The red haired woman knew better then to try and force her unused voice to say her last name. But her first name was easy enough.

"It's nice to meet you Ann. My name is Kaida Go."

Kaida Go. Ann would remember that name for the rest of her life, for it was the name of the woman who'd pulled her from the depths of hell.

With a bit of effort Ann turned her head to look at the woman that the voice came from. To her surprise the voice took rest in a young woman, probably around her own age of twenty six, taking a moment to try to think Ann put the woman at a few years younger then her. Maybe twenty three at youngest. She was an attractive woman, long black hair that was tied back in a single braid; her eyes were a deep forest green that had an edge in them that gleamed like a blade. This woman sitting next to her knew what it took to get the job done. She was well built and endowed as well. Ann almost wanted to be jealous of that. Some people just get all the luck. A rifle was at Kaida's side, leaning up against the wall. Normally Ann would have felt fear or been uneasy in the presence of a gun. But after watching Kaida use one to set her free Ann felt no unease with the weapon. Least not while Kaida was sitting there right beside it. She was wearing almost completely black mission gear, which led Ann to believe that Kaida was part of some kind of stealth operation. Her head hurt too much to really start thinking about this at the moment.

The sound of the door opening caught the attention of both woman and a female doctor smiled at Ann, a clip board in her left hand. "I'm glad to see you awake…"

"Ann, her name is Ann." Kaida cut in bluntly

"No last name?" The doctor asked looking at Kaida.

"She hasn't been able to tell me, her voice doesn't sound like it's been used in weeks." The black haired woman replied in an almost 'duh' tone.

Ignoring the tone from Kaida the doctor turned her focus back to Ann. "That's understandable. Well Ann the good news is that whatever they were giving you didn't work. You haven't been altered in any way that we can see." The doctor smiled to her patient.

Kaida raised an eyebrow crossing her arms. The Worldwide Evil Empire had taken this woman just to do nothing to her? This didn't add up. "And the bad news?" she all but demanded.

"Well it's not bad news per se… but, ah, Ann you're pregnant."

Ann's eyes widened a split second before she, just like the room around her, came crashing down as she fell into blissful unconsciousness.

Kaida was on her feet the second the red haired woman had fallen out of consciousness, her hands already holding her gun. "You know, there's a little thing in this world called tact. Go learn some." She glared at the doctor. "But you're sure that she's pregnant?"

"She's just at the end of her first trimester." The doctor glanced down at the charts on the clipboard for a moment. "According to the tests we've done that is."

"That… can't be good." Kaida said cautiously, choosing her words carefully in case the passed out female decided to wake up again.

"We don't know if anything has happened to the child but we've gotten nothing but positive and healthy readings. Whatever was done to Ann didn't affect her." The doctor reported, the last thing they needed was for Kaida to get angry with one of them.

Kaida frowned at that statement as she slowly sat back down in her chair, leaning her rifle back up against the wall beside her chair. Something was off about this whole situation, she could feel it. Sighing heavily there was nothing that the officer could do about this right now. Hell, Kaida wasn't even supposed to have gone on that mission. It was only because he had been reportedly sighted there that she had geared up and gone out. Kaida was on contract work with Global Justice. She was more of a lone wolf worker. But with the birth of her children, ages nine seven and five, she couldn't risk losing her life and having no word of it reaching back to her family.

Family came first, that was law in the Go household. She didn't care if her family hated one another, so long as they knew that if one of them honestly needed help they would drop everything and go help. When someone had tried to take her only daughter Kaida had beheaded the man. She thanked the higher powers, if they or it existed, that her daughter had been asleep so she was not scarred by the sight of it. No one touched her family so long as she drew breath. She was already teaching them how to fight. Though her sons were learning well her daughter that took the keenest interest in the art; something which Kaida was all too happy to teach. Her daughter could best both her brothers even though she was the middle child.

Kaida shook her head as she severed that train of thought. She would end up running around in circles and into some memories that she really did not need to go down right now. She knew who was responsible; it was only a matter of time before she made him pay. Forcing her attention back over to the unconscious redhead in front of her Kaida surmised that the other woman would be about the same age as her, maybe a few years older. That was after she discredited the damage that Ann's time spent in a WEE hell had done to her. But that in and of itself both worried and puzzled the officer. Ann had been so light when Kaida had carried her out of the Worldwide Evil Empire base. Those tubes must have been keeping both Ann and her unborn child alive. Kaida grit her teeth. The law, while imperfect, didn't do things like this to people. Not without their governments forsaking them and even then it rarely happened. When things like this happened in a country, the public tended to get angry. Just a little bit.

Kaida's focus snapped to the doctor, whom she had momentarily forgotten was also in the room, as the lab coat wearing woman marked some things down on Ann's chart before setting it down in the holder at the end of the bed, tearing off the front sheet copy for herself. Kaida sighed again and turned her eyes to the unconscious woman again. The rhythmic beeping of Ann's heart rate monitor the only sound in the room other then the occupants light breathing. Kaida was a young mother of three but she never let that, or anyone who thought less of her for that, slow her down. She was one of the top ranking gun-for-hire that Global Justice had on site. But it was only a temporary contract. Global Justice promised her that the dark haired mother would be the one to deal with him in any way she saw fit and they would turn a blind eye. That is, they would if she worked for them for five years or until the time came when she fulfilled what she needed to do. She had to stay the five years but if she hadn't yet found him then she was welcome to stay with Global Justice until she had. Kaida accepted the offer with open arms so long as she got enough time with her children. Family was law. She'd just made sure that her employer knew that.

Leaning back in her chair with a sigh the officer closed her eyes. It was time like this that she missed her old partner. Kaida was strong but that did not mean the woman was heartless. She didn't allow herself to become cold hearted. Not when there was the risk that it would hurt her children. Her old partner, a long time friend and great shot with a gun, was betrayed on what was supposed to have been a routine mission. Since then Kaida had dug through all the red tape and found that he was responsible for her partners' death as well. Another thing that he would pay for. She was also worried about her daughter. There was just something in her eyes that made Kaida worry. Not for her safety or her mental health but something… something in those dark green eyes of her daughter unsettled the mother. It was an underlying worry that did not seem like it was going to vanish anytime soon. But it was not lethal and it did not challenge her family so she let it be, that's all she could really do for the moment no matter how much she hated it.

Opening her eyes with a small sigh of aggravation Kaida stared at the unconscious woman in front of her. Kaida had seen and read about cases similar to Ann's, as sick as that made her feel Kaida knew this wasn't the first time an innocent had been kidnapped and experimented on, tortured or raped. Usually the one that saved the victim was seen as a person of safety; something akin to a saviour. Kaida vowed to herself that she would do whatever she could to help Ann return to her normal life. She'd do all she could. Ann had struck a cord within Kaida and for the life of the dark haired woman she could not figure out what it was. Barring any genuine interest in this case she knew that those who stayed by usually came out for the better. And the child that was currently growing inside Ann's womb deserved a mother. Family was law, just because it was another one did not mean she would not help if she had the power to do so. Kaida would do the right thing and help the red haired female.

Ann awoke from unconsciousness late that evening. Slowly and carefully she forced herself upright into a sitting position, the bones in her back hurting as they moved into the awkward position from the disuse. Glancing around the room Ann noticed that Kaida had fallen asleep in the chair. Had she remained there the whole time? Ann could not help the smile that came to her lips at the thought. The first time she'd smiled in months. Months… Ann's smile gave way to shock as she wrapped her arms around her stomach. Pregnant!? How could she be pregnant? As far as she knew she hadn't been raped, not even aroused once in the time she was a prisoner. But she hadn't been conscious the entire time either! Wouldn't she have known? How could she have been preg- oh God. Oh God, oh God, oh God! Had she been pregnant before she was kidnapped!? Was her child alright? Had it been the life inside her that they had been after? Did they harm her child? What was in those tubes that kept her alive and gave her liquid pain? Was her child safe? Whose was it? Did she-

"Ann are you alright?" Kaida's voice snapped Ann out of her spiralling thoughts as the surgeon looked over at her saviour.

Kaida looked over the, now sitting upright, woman. Her heart rate monitor was what had woken Kaida out of her light slumber. Ann was hyperventilating and her heartbeat had picked up considerably. The difference in the usual rhythmic sound was what had jostled officer Go awake. The red haired woman was clutching herself around her stomach in an almost painful looking self hug. Ann was shaking, subtly, but she was. Kaida knew that Ann was only moments away from having a panic attack and one look into the red haired woman's eyes confirmed that. Kaida could see the panic dancing in them and at best, the officer guessed, that she had less then a minute to calm the distraught woman in front of her. More then likely, especially from the way Ann was holding onto herself, that the woman feared for her unborn child.

"The doctors said that nothing was wrong with your child Ann. The foetus is alive and quite healthy." Kaida said calmly. Ann really couldn't have a panic attack; it might compromise her child as well as her own health. Something that Kaida, as a mother herself, did not want to see happen.

While the chemicals in those tubes kept Ann and her unborn child alive, it did not keep them in optimum health. Ann had lost a lot of weight and while carrying a child that was bad. Ann was going to be in the hospital for a few months at the least. Given her circumstances Ann would probably be here until after the birth, just to make sure that there really was nothing wrong with her child. No one at Global Justice was fool enough to think that the Worldwide Evil Empire had done nothing to her in the time they had the woman in their captivity. Slowly uncrossing her arms the female officer leaned over and placed her hand lightly on Ann's arm, giving the distraught woman a soft smile.

"You and your child are safe Ann. I promise." Kaida had always kept her promises when she made them. That was why she rarely ever spoke those words.

Even her children knew this about Kaida. That was why when their mother promised something they knew that nothing short of her death would keep her from sticking to her words. Kaida would just as readily break her arm then break her word. Her bones would heal; her children's trust in her might not. Kaida hoped that the seriousness of her words would convey themselves silently to the upset woman.

Somehow, through all her confusion, doubt and fear, Ann understood what the other woman was telling her.

Kaida smiled a little wider as Ann slowly began to calm down. Taking her hand from Ann's arm as the officer leaned back Kaida knew that if she hadn't wanted to stay by Ann's side before that she certainly would now. Kaida instinctively knew that the instant that she and Ann had made the silent invisible connection, that she would have stayed with the red haired woman anyway. To hell with the higher ranking officers; she was staying and there was nothing, come hell or high water that was going to stop her.

The first month wasn't as bad as most people, Kaida included, had thought it would be. Kaida remained true to her word and stayed with the red haired woman. After the first few days of this the two were transferred to a more practical room. In Kaida's opinion that was just a fancy way of saying that the room they had both been moved to was both a fully functioning hospital room and workspace. Though the female officer was done with her schooling, Kaida maintained an attitude of 'there is no such thing as useless knowledge' and with all the resources Global Justice had to offer Kaida was more then satisfied with all the research and reports she could gleam her eyes over. The fact that she could do this while keeping a watchful eye on Ann just made the set up that much sweeter.

After three weeks Ann had been able to use her voice like anyone normally could, though for a limited amount of time, and to everyone's surprise they found out that she was the neo-surgeon that had gone missing. Her full name was Ann Possible. She had been in the news and, thanks to her disappearance; they knew that Ann had been experimented on for little over two and a half months. The doctors hypothesized that she had only just been impregnated, as early as about a week before she was kidnapped. It was extremely likely that the child growing inside Ann's womb belonged to the man she had married.

Now Ann's husband was a whole other type of person. Least that was what Kaida thought of the man. But when she had first broken the news that Ann was alive and in good hands, well, Kaida had trouble coming up with the right words to describe just how grateful he was that his wife was alive. The man cried, he'd cried long and hard the first time he saw his wife again. Kaida was a touch jealous of Ann, she'd found herself such a devoted and loving husband. He had been working to try to find her and had remained completely faithful to her as well. Even when it seemed that the surgeon would never be coming home. Apart from that, Kaida learned that he was a rocket scientist that, once the DNA results came back, was indeed the father of the child in Ann's womb. This news alone made both parent's-to-be elated.

Kaida's husband, though she loved the man dearly, was a bit of a character. He was quite focused on his work life and as such he didn't usually spend a lot of time with his kids. Kaida always made sure that it wasn't out and outright neglect, that would harm her children and that was not acceptable. She would kill the man before she allowed him to harm their children. Even if they were his. Family came first and if he was going to put his work first, unless she made him or unless it was truly serious, then she would put their offspring first. No questions asked. Kaida was aware it was a strange relationship, but they loved and respected one another. That was enough for her.

During the second month that Ann was at the hospital, the red haired female now just reaching the end of her fifth month of her pregnancy, also went abnormally smoothly. Which was both a shock and a pleasant surprise for everyone. Though Ann did get those infamous pregnancy cravings Kaida was more then happy to split the late night food runs, when Kaida was with the expecting surgeon that is, with Ann's husband. He was also more then happy for the help and on more then one occasion he told the female officer that she didn't have to be doing all this. What she had already done for the Possible family was more then they could ever repay. Kaida would hear nothing of that. She had become quite close with the pregnant woman. She did this out of friendship not duty.

Another welcome surprise was that Ann was never overly rude or mean to the nurses or doctors. Something which everyone was grateful for. Sometimes, as no one is perfect and Ann was pregnant, Ann did get quite a bit quick tempered but even then it was never overly condescending or mean. Everyone always forgave the pleasant woman when she slipped up with her temper. She was one of the best patients that they'd ever had, Kaida could attest to that herself, and to be honest everyone found this temperament in Ann Possible amazing, especially when she was still in recovery from her experimentation.

Ann had come a long way in such a short amount of time. Kaida speculated that it had to do with the fact Ann knew she was going to be a mother soon and, Kaida tried her best but it still went to her ego, that the surgeon had told her psychologist that it was because Kaida was there with her whenever she could be just to talk or to find content in the other woman's presence. Kaida and Ann would talk about everything and then nothing at all. Family was a big topic between the two. After all, Ann was expecting and Kaida had already had three of her own. Usually the red haired surgeon asked for advice and Kaida was all to happy to share her knowledge. Though the two differed on some things they both agreed; Family was law.

On other days, these days were always less cheery and good natured, the two women talked about Ann's time with the Worldwide Evil Empire and the experimentation that she had undergone. According to her superiors, Kaida found out that the last man she'd killed in that place was the Doctor that had been experimenting on Ann. Without him the WEE had scrapped the project because though most villains are insane it takes a special breed of sadism to experiment on a living human being. The kind that were currently not available in the world of crime. So the experimentation stopped and they had once again defaulted back to their 'get-a-lot-of-missiles-and-blow-the-world-up-unless-we-get-money' plans. Everyone was grateful for the change.

However something kept turning up in their conversations. It was a concern that Ann had and no matter what happened, if the two talked about the WEE or the experiments, Ann's project name came up. Experiment 369. Global Justice had run it against all the decoding and similar equipment that they had available and so far come up with nothing but a bunch of garbage and things that made no sense. The only thing that they could hope for is that it didn't pertain to literal numbers. That was just too much to stomach.

At the near end of her second trimester Ann got sick.

Really sick.

Neither Possible wanted to see or know of their child's gender so they did not want the doctors looking either. Normally this would have been an impossible request. But Global Justice wasn't exactly normal and with a little, persuasion from Kaida the doctors ran tests that would ensure they would know what they needed but would not have to look inside Ann's womb and find out the gender of the child. It was all kinds of tests that the two Possible's had to be sworn, legally binding, never to repeat to anyone else. Turned out that the child was just fine, Kaida already had a bit of respect for the unborn kid, it was a survivor that's for sure.

It brought a small amount of sorrow to Kaida's heart to see the strong Dr. Possible on life support. But what had to be done, had to be done. Ann was sleeping a lot more then usual as well, which was strange from the average pregnancy but this was attributed to the experimentation. But it was a small price to pay, in Kaida's opinion anyway. So long as Ann had her child healthy and they both remained alive so would the doctors in this place. She'd lost one close friend, damned if she would lose another. The two continued to strengthen their bond when both were awake however. This made it worth the times Kaida found the red haired surgeon asleep. Kaida had been forced to return to duty right before Ann got sick. Part of the officer blamed herself for Ann's condition even though that wasn't the case and highly illogical. If it hadn't been for Ann's insistence that she return to duty the black haired woman wouldn't have gone.

Near the end of the next month Ann was sleeping a little more but she got a little less sick. A payoff that was all too good for the situation. It was worth sleeping more to make sure that both she and her child were alright. Kaida was just glad her friend wasn't near, or even close to, critical anymore. It was also around this time that Kaida began looking into the nagging feeling in the back of her mind. Kaida swore she knew what the secret behind 369 but for the life of the officer she could not remember. As the weather was getting warmer and turning into almost summer like temperatures Kaida could see that her friend was getting restless.

Halfway through Ann's seventh month of pregnancy everyone was given a scare. Ann knew something was wrong because she felt like she was having contractions. Thankfully it was a false alarm and the problem was averted. The moment Kaida found out she was over and visiting Ann the next day after speeding through a mission that should have taken another two weeks. They got the job done and when Kaida found her friend still pregnant and still very much alive she calmed down. The two talked longer then usual that day.

Two weeks before the end of Ann's third trimester everyone was given another scare, though this time the fright was very real. Ann's water broke.

When Kaida got wind that her friend had gone into labour two weeks before she was supposed to be due Kaida nearly had a heart attack. She wanted to be there for her friend, oh how badly she wanted to be there! But there was nothing the female officer could do. She wasn't even in the same country as Ann, hell; she wasn't on the same continent. So all the black haired woman could do was wait. Wait and pray to whatever higher powers that were out there that her friend and child would be safe. Kaida and Ann had become quite close with one another; the last thing the officer wanted was to see her friend or her friend's child dead. If there were any higher powers listening, Kaida prayed that they would help.

Ann was in labour for almost nine hours before her child was born. While only just above average for women whom are birthing their first child it did not make the process any more pleasant. But the birth had gone smoothly and Ann knew that the years to come with her child would be more then worth every second she'd spent in pain. However, as Ann lay there exhausted from the birth slightly delirious and trying to get her breathing back under control, she knew something was wrong. Her child was crying, as most children usually do, but the doctor and orderlies had a serious, one had a frightened look, about them. Whispering to one another as the Doctor wiped down the baby and wrapped the child up in a small blanket.

"My… child…" Ann closed her eyes, though she was thoroughly exhausted there would be hell to pay if they did not hand her child to her.

Her words seemed to remind the staff that she was in the room and they moved back into professional action. The doctor careful picked up the baby and turned walking over to Ann with a smile.

"Congratulations Mrs. Possible. It's a girl." The female doctor said in a soft cheerful tone as she placed, as softly as she could, the newborn child into her mothers' waiting arms.

Even as her newborn daughter was gently given to her Ann knew something wasn't right. The doctors' tone had been well masked, Ann gave her professional approval to the woman she wouldn't have noticed if she had not been a doctor herself, but Ann still caught the hint of worry that had served as a secret undertone to those words. Holding the small bundle to her chest Ann smiled as she felt a warm feeling wash through her body, her baby's cries settling down, the newborn feeling safe in her mothers' arms.

Opening her eyes slowly Ann stared down at her beautiful baby girl. Smiling down at her baby Ann shifted the bundle in her arms a touch so that she could gently brush the back of her finger against her daughters' cheek. A loving caress to calm and sooth her daughter as she settled into this new world. Her child had inherited her vibrant hair colour, as was apparent from the fine slick hairs that covered some of her daughters head, and like her parents she had a similar skin tone to the both of them. She had two small arms with four fingers and one thumb each in their proper place on each of her tiny hands, and her facial features were all normal as well. Her small ears looked normal enough to Ann and her daughter's closed eyes showed no signs of irregularities or abnormalities.

Ann could not see what the staff had been so unnerved about. As the small child in her arms started to squirm, in an almost uncomfortable manner, she began to cry once more. Ann stared down in wonderment at her daughter as she felt a small limb moving against her arm and as the surgeon moved her the offending limb her daughter started to quiet down once more. Perplexed Ann gently brushed aside one part of the blanket that surrounded her child staring for a moment before her mind went completely blank.

Her daughter had a tail.
