Just forget the World…
Wade:
Two days later…
"Honey, here is the list of what you need to get." Kim agrees to go out to the store for the few items Ron needs to make dinner tonight.
Kim dashes off to the bedroom, and as she quickly gets dressed, Ron thinks to himself, I didn't have to twist her arm too much to go run this errand. Why didn't I realize how much she needs some relief from her current lifestyle? The twins, Cindy and Mindy, have just laid down for a nap after the 2 pm feeding. Ron agreed to watch over them so Kim can have some time to do what she likes to do, go shopping. Or is that the 2nd best thing she likes to do? Then again, she has not been in the mood for the 1st thing lately. As soon as she leaves the driveway, Ron grabs the Kimmunicator and hits the button.
"Hey Wade, what's up?"
"Not much Ron, quiet day today." The genius is still typing on his keyboard, surrounded by all his equipment.
Ron, looking for small talk, asks, "How is married life going?"
Wade, now a grown man with goatee, looks up and gives a huge smile, "Great, Olivia and I are both doing, uhmm, well." He leans back and places his hands behind his head, "How are Kim and the twins doing?"
"Cindy and Mindy are doing great and growing strong. I am a very lucky man."
"Sounds good Ron, but you didn't answer my question about Kim. Is she okay?"
Ron starts to open his mouth, closes it, and then opens it again. "Wade, I need a mission."
"That is good to hear. I am glad you two are doing so well. Wait, you need a what?"
"English, Wade, I…need…a…mission, for Kim."
"Okay, but you just got back from a mission. And what has this to do with Kim?" The shock showing clearly on Wades' face. "You know she is no longer considered active. In fact, she told me herself about the decision to drop out and focus on raising the twins."
"Wade, I know that. Kim and I discussed and argued this decision for weeks prior to her due date. You know her, She Can Do Anything, including raising the children and saving the world at the same time. But right now she needs a mission and needs one ASAP. What do we have?"
"Ron, why are you doing this?"
"Wade, my good friend, my Kimmie has a bad case of cabin fever. She would never complain out loud, but I can see it in her eyes. She needs the relief that she can only get by going into mission mode, solving a problem and maybe beating up a few villains and henchmen."
"Well, currently her website has very few hits. They are almost all pretty much the standard 'cat in a tree' stuff, nothing about saving the world. Maybe try calling Global Justice?"
Ron thinks for a moment, "Can't, they would only handle the big issues. We need to find something, anything, for Kim to do, as a mission where she will not get hurt."
Wade stops and stares at Ron, "Is Kim cool with this?"
"Whoa, Wade holdup, Kim does not need to know anything about this. If she knew, she would not want to take on the assignment. This will be just between the two of us."
Wade gets a very serious look on his face. "Ron, you know what happens when you keep secrets from her…do not do this. Think about the Yamanuchi incident," Wade lowers his voice to a whisper, "think Yori."
Ron tells Wade, "It's OK, and Kim is not here right now; you do not need to whisper. And besides, she got all over that jellin on Yori, about the time I put that certain ring on her finger." Then with a huge trademark smile Ron quips, "Wade, don't think of this as a secret, think of this as an early birthday present, HA! But we do need to keep this a much a secret as we can. Need to know basis, as few people in the loop, etc. You don't think Olivia would say anything?"
"Ron, I have to tell Olivia, I'm not going to keep a secret from her."
"But Wade, you are the master of secrets. Don't tell me you forgot about having Kim and I tagged with tracking chips? Or the time you hacked into her computer and read her online diary?"
Wade stares down at his keyboard, "Fine Ron, let me see what I can do." Wade pondered a minute, "Do you think she is up to the challenge of a mission?"
"Not yet, she still practices yoga and starts each morning with some Tai Chi exercises, but Kim and I have not been in a good sparring session for over a year."
Wade again stares at Ron and says, "So how is she to complete a mission?"
"Don't worry Wade, let me handle it. I will make sure she is ready. I'll let you handle the sitch, Think bad guys, some odd crime, transport, etc. The whole mission planned for her, start to finish."
"Ron, I would do anything for you guys, you and Kim are like family to me, so can I give you some brotherly advice?"
"Go Wade…"
"This needs devious planning and a lot of underhanded strategy. Top it off with complete secrecy and maybe a bit of ruthlessness. We are going to need to bring a specialist in on this."
Ron stops and thinks for a moment, "Yeah? Who?"
Wade starts to smirk, then recovers and goes into his mission mode expression. "Call Bonnie for help…"
Ron's eyes light up with that thought. "Wade, you rock!"
Wade now gives a big smile, "I am what I is…"
