Chapter 2Kim awoke, her head pounding. She was laying on a cold metal floor on her stomach. With a groan she sat up and looked around the dimly lit room. It was small, a cell in fact. There were two others sharing it with her. The boy similar to her age was against the wall. The boy had blue hair, pale skin, and he had a collar around his neck. Kim felt the one still around her own, and glad the cuffs were off. She looked over and saw her mother chained to the wall, a collar around her neck. Kim saw they were all wearing black body suits.
"Mom!" Kim said and crawled towards her.
"She's still out from the tranquilizers they shot her full of." The blue haired teen spoke opening his eyes, his voice a harsh whisper.
"How long have we been here?" Kim asked after checking her mothers pulse and breathing a sigh of relief.
"Not sure. I've been here a couple of days I think, you and her were brought in I think it was a couple of hours ago." The whispered voice said again.
Kim nodded and sat near her chained mother.
"I'm Kim…who are you?" she asked.
"Sirius." He said
"A-are you a…?" Kim tried to ask but couldn't find a polite way to ask the question.
"Mutant? Aye. Since you and her are here, I guess you both are mutants as well. So what can you do?" Sirius asked.
"I-I don't know. I didn't know I was a mutant till a Sentinel bust through a wall of my Junior Prom."
"Bummer." Sirius said leaning his back.
"What about you?" Kim asked.
"I can generate and absorb electric energy." Sirius said.
Kim looked up at her mother. "Why are they doing this? Earlier tonight I saved the world from Dr. Drakken, and now…" Kim leaned her head against her knees that she had moved up tight. Sirius spoke, his voice still low.
"When they brought you in…they mentioned the Hound Program…and something called Weapon X. Whatever it is, it can't be good for us."
Kim closed her eyes.
Just hours ago I kissed my best friend and now I am a mutant…
Kim looked up at her mother and wondered what the older woman was thinking, if she was remembering the death of her father and the tweebs.
God I am such a shallow bitch. Kim thought bitterly. I'm still alive. Jim and Tim are dead. Daddy…
Kim felt the tears again slip from her eyes.
God what is wrong with me? I never cry and tonight I can't seem to stop.
It felt like hours, but it might have been minutes when Kim heard her mother groan. Kim jumped to her feet. "Mom!"
"Oooo…My head." Kim heard her mother mutter, then she looked up and Kim smiled seeing her mother's blue eyes.
"Kimmie." Her mom said and Kim could hear the relief in her mother's voice.
"Mom." Kim said hugging her mother as best she could.
"It will be okay Kimmie." Her mother said.
"R-Ron…" Kim tried to say, but found it hard.
Kim felt her mother lean her head against hers.
"Oh Kimmie…it will be okay."
"No. Ron turned on me…he zapped you from behind…then me…he attacked me before…when I was trying to avoid the Sentinel." Kim told her mother.
"Oh…Kimmie…" her mother said. "I am so sorry sweetie."
Kim sniffled and leaned against her mother.
They jerked apart as the cell door slid open with a hiss. Global Justice agents spilled into the room. Kim saw Sirius get to his feet, Kim turned and saw who followed the agents into the room.
"Dr. Director." Kim said glaring at the eye patch wearing woman.
"Kim Possible." She said.
"Why are you doing this?" Kim asked.
Dr. Director looked at her and shook her head.
"It isn't my choice Kimberly. My hands are tied in this matter."
"You are in charge of Global Justice…" Kim argued.
"I have superiors. Global Justice has changed. Drakken using the Diablo's and the publicity of mutants in the news has…it has frightened many people in charge."
"Then go after them." Kim said.
"We will. But all mutants are considered a threat now Kimberly."
Kim's mother snorted. Dr. Director looked at her.
"Finally awake I see Dr. Grey."
"It's Possible. I've been married for seventeen years." Kim's mother said, her blue eyes focusing on the GJ leader.
"The neutralization collars prevent you from using you powers Dr. Grey, so you can stop trying to read my mind." Dr. Director said.
"It's Dr. Possible." Kim's mother said again.
"Your husband is dead…or should I say your second husband is dead, you seem to have bad luck in relationships Dr. Grey." Dr. Director said ignoring Kim's mother.
"At least I've had relationships, what have you had Betty? A lonely office? Some young agent in your small room at night in a forbidden liaison? Which one of these…"
Dr. Director lashed out and backhanded Kim's mom across the face hard.
"You were always a bitch Jean. In high school and now."
"You still mad Scott wanted me and never saw you?" Kim's mother said lifting her head up once more.
Dr. Director raised her hand to strike her again, but stopped. Kim had tensed and was going to help her mother when she found a barrel of a gun touching her neck.
"Do it mutie. I'll blow your head from your shoulders you won't even get a chance to blink." The GJ agent said.
"Henderson, stand down." Dr. Director said. she looked at Kim for a moment then at her mother. A smile spread across her face, it was shallow, scary with a cold edge to it.
"Hmm, she doesn't look like James…and I don't see Scott in her…so tell me Jean, her father wouldn't happen to be…"
"You shut up about what you don't know Betty." Kim's mom snarled.
"Hmmm…Henderson, take the girl to room one. Take the boy as well." Guards moved around grabbing Kim's arms and forcing them behind her back. "We'll see exactly how much I know."
Dr. Jean Possible watched as the two teenagers were ushered from the room. Kim and the blue haired boy were forced out the door, still struggling.
"What are you going to do Betty? They are children."
Dr. Director looked at her. "They are a part of the Hounds program. Kim has been selected for the Weapon X program."
Jean Possible's eyes widened at the mention of the Weapon X program.
"You can't…you must not…"
"My superiors secured the information from a contact in the Canadian government. We know about the failures."
"Wolverine and Sabertooth were not failures." Jean said.
"After the bonding process, Kim will undergo a series of mental wipes and then select programming. The Canadian Government made the mistake of taking volunteers and leaving them alone."
"Betty…don't do this. Please." Jean Possible said, tears dripping from her face.
"It is out of my hands Jean. The electric thrower will of course be undergoing a similar process, but different than Kim Possible's. After the bonding process…"
"Adamantium? Oh god, do you realize the reason Wolverine and Sabertooth survived the bonding was they had advanced healing and regenerative abilities." Jean said looking at the one eyed woman.
"GJ scientist studied Kim's DNA…when her X-gene activated we knew it was time. We discovered her powers before she was even allowed into the field."
"What? How? What are they?" Jean asked, her mind flying in a million different directions.
"Your daughter takes after her father in many ways Jean. During her final battle with Drakken we tapped into her battle suit that her tech person supplied to her. She has regenerative abilities. She's got enhanced reflexes, strength and we think a danger sense."
Jean Possible shook her head. "Don't do this Betty. All the good she's done for the world…"
"And after tonight she will do even more, as a Hound. She will be used by GJ to track and hunt down mutants along with the boy. He is a better specimen and a better match for her than Ron Stoppable."
Jean watched the other woman leave the cell, the door hissed shut. For the first time in nearly sixteen years Jean Possible wept for what had gone wrong.

Hours passed and Jean waited. She counted the tiles and then she counted the rivets in the wall.
Finally five hours later the door hissed open and four guards entered. Two carried a stretcher and put it down with the blue haired boy on it. He was unconscious and blood ran from his nose. His whole body was covered in sweat and his hair plastered to his head.
Jean looked at him, wondering what the hell they did to him. a couple minutes passed and the door opened again and once more the guards entered carrying a stretcher with Kim. She too looked like hell and in pain.
Jean stared at the two teens. Finally the door opened and Dr. Director entered alone.
"They survived stage one." She said a smirk on her face. "They will be the greatest weapon in Global Justice arsenal against the mutant menace."
Betty looked at the red head behind the bars. "We'll give them a few days to recover and then start stage two." She motioned and pulled out a controller. The bars vanished and Jean was at her daughters side. She checked over the boy as well.
"The amount of energy that young man can produce and absorb was astronomical. Truly extraordinary."
"Damn you Betty. Damn you and the world. They are children, extraordinary children, but still children."
"Now, their weapons." She said. "I'll have food and some supplies brought in. Don't try anything Dr. Grey." She got to the door. "You are expendable."
Jean didn't say anything else as she checked on the two teens. She took the supplies and water that a guard brought and used it to clean both teens.
She saw that they had trimmed Kim's hair to shoulder length. She felt both teens and they were warm to the touch.
"Fevers, your nervous system is going wild. Damn it…if they would take these collars of, if you have even a tenth of Wolverine's healing factor Kimmie, you would be better faster."
Jean fell asleep against the wall watching both.

Jean Possible snapped awake. She looked and couldn't help but smile. Sometime during the night the two had moved together, with Kim resting her head on the young man's shoulder.
She saw Dr. Director leaning against the door, her one eye looking at the two.
"Even now they know and respond to one another." she said.
"Betty…let them go." Jean Possible said, her voice soft.
"Can't. GJ Upper Brass has big plans for them."
"Betty…"
"Damn it Jean, people are terrified of mutants. It was bad enough with that whole Apocalypse thing when we were teenagers. Magneto's gotten worse and S.H.I.E.L.D. is playing the public with the Avengers and Fantastic Four. Global Justice needs the Hounds. We need to be able to go toe to toe with the rest of them. I had a squad chasing Sabertooth and they were slaughtered to a man."
"Kim's saved the world and this is how you repay her."
"Kim's saved the world and will continue to do so now as Global Justice's Weapon X and her Hound will help her along the way."
Jean looked at the boy.
"Your curious about him, aren't you Dr. Grey." Betty said.
"What do you know?" Jean finally asked, her curiosity getting the better of her once again.
Dr. Director smiled. "He has the ability to generate and absorb electricity. We've seen him create various forms from streams, spikes and balls, and his ability to throw it or even encase his body with it. He took out several of my agents with that surprise. He's also got a healing factor, an enhanced immune system. We've also discovered he has two hearts."
Jean looked up at her in surprise. "He's also got enhanced reflexes." Betty smirked seeing the red head study the young man her daughter was laying partially on.
"Look at them Dr. Grey. Use that mind you were so proud of in medical school. Look at the scientific advances."
"All I see is my daughter and young man being used as lab rats. What happened to the rules Dr. Director?"
"Mutants aren't classed as human by the joint UN." She said.
Betty Director turned to the door as it opened. "You have several days. After that your all being mind wiped and reprogrammed."
She left leaving Jean Possible with two unconscious teens.
It was another day before Jean noticed that the blue haired youth was stirring. His eyes fluttered and he groaned.
"Don't move, you've been thru…"
"Hell." He croaked.
"Yeah. Let me help you sit up…you've got someone laying on you."
"Red." He croaked seeing the mop of hair on his chest.
Jean smiled, the familiar nickname pinged her heart. Shaking her head she said "My daughter Kim."
"Sirius."
"I am. She's my daughter."
"No. My name is Sirius. or Siri if you wish."
"I'm Jean Possible." She said trying to move Kim off the young man, but her daughter's arm tightened around the blue haired boy causing him to wince slightly.
"She won't let go." Jean said with a small smile.
"Leave her be then." Sirius said closing his eyes briefly. "H-How long have I been out?"
"More than a day." Jean said filling a bowl with water and helping him raise his head and allowing him to drink."
"Do you know what they did to you?" she asked after he was done drinking.
Sirius coughed a bit and sighed. "Yeah. They hooked me into some sort of generator and pumped me full of chemicals. They had her across from me floating in a tank." Sirius stopped speaking for moment. "They had us both hooked up to wires and tubes. I remember them drawing my power time and time again and then pain…they injected me with something…."
"Adamantium. You both survived due to your healing factors." Jean said.
Sirius sighed. "That's why I feel heavier." Sirius said. "Then they tested us. Cut on us. Had me use my powers, I heard her screaming from her tank…they knocked me out. Woke me up again pumping more electricity into me from a generator." Sirius coughed and sighed. "Found out my healing speeds up if I absorb more electricity."
Jean listened as he told her. Both of them carried adamantium in their bodies. Both survived.
"Bastards didn't even use our names. They called her Weapon X and me Agent Hound." He snorted. "Do I look like a dog to you?"
Jean smiled. "No. handsome young man who my daughter has decided to make her new cuddle toy."
"Nuh." Kim moaned. "Comfy." She said her eyes still closed. "Kimmie." Jean said moving to her daughters side.
"Hurt." Kim moaned snuggling into Sirius's side.
"I know baby. I know. Come on, open your eyes. Let me see your eyes baby." Jean said.
Kim opened her eyes blinking in the bright light and wincing.
Jean saw the olive green eyes and sighed. "Mom?" Kim asked.
"I'm here." Jean said lighting touching Kim knowing like Sirius her body must have ached.
"It's not a dream." Kim said finally. She looked up at her pillow and blushed, struggling to sit up.
"S-s-Sorry."
"Its alright." Sirius said as he helped Kim sit up and Jean saw them both wince.
"I know it's a stupid question, but how do you feel?" Jean asked her daughter after getting her some water.
"Like I went thirty rounds with Shego, Monkey Fist and the Diablo's all at the same time." Kim said.
"Feel like I got hit by a bus, which backed over and did it again several times, then stopped on me and spun its tires." Sirius supplied leaning back against the wall. Jean noticed Kim sat next to him, their shoulders touching.
Jean watched as Kim was rubbing the back of her hands and her eyes widened. "No…please tell me they didn't." she said.
"Mom?" Kim asked.
The door hissed open.
Dr. Director stepped in with several guards. "Well now, your both awake. I thought it wouldn't be till later."
"Betty, tell me you didn't give her claws." Jean said turning to the eye patch wearing woman.
"Oh, but we did. What kind of weapon would she be if she wasn't armed." Dr. Director said with a smile. "I'd contain them if I were you Possible. Without your healing factor active it could be deadly to yourself, not to mention painful."
"What?" Kim asked still scratching her hands.
"Kimmie, listen to me." Jean said ignoring the others and forcing her daughter to look her in the eye. "They bonded a metal called Adamantium to your skeleton. During the process they also inserted claws into your forearms. With a certain muscle contraction they'll pop out the back of your hands. You need to keep calm and not flex your forearm muscles."
"Very good Dr. Grey." Dr. Director said with a smirk. "Now then, since the three of you are awake you should be aware that stage two will start tomorrow."
"Stage two?" Sirius asked.
"Yes. We wipe your minds and in stage three we program you."
"Can I say I pass on the mind wipe thing?" Sirius asked.
"No." Dr. Director said emotionlessly.
Kim looked at the woman she trusted, she thought of as a friend.
Did all my friends turn on me? All I have left is mom and…
She looked at Sirius and felt she could trust him. Thought I could trust Ron as well. She thought bitterly. But I feel safe around him, even when they were doing those horrible things to us, I feel…content. What does it mean?
"So Kim Possible," Dr. Director's voice drew her from her thoughts. "Ready to serve Global Justice once more?"
"No." Kim said.
"Well, sadly you don't have a choice. Besides, as a mutant, you no longer have rights under the constitution of…"
"Give it a rest." Sirius said, his voice sounding tired. "So do we get a decent last meal as ourselves?"
Dr. Director chuckled. "I suppose that can be arranged." She made a motion and three men wearing lab coats came in. "These men wish to inspect you all. Don't give them any troubles."
Jean looked at the man who ran a scanner over her body. The man turned to Dr. Director. "You said she had three children?"
"Yes. The other two were twins. Unfortunately they fell to the Sentinel."
"Order a retrieval of their remains." The man said.
"Have you no respect for the dead?" Jean growled.
"They're just mutants." The man said pulling injector and jabbing her in the arm. She felt the needle and saw the vial fill with her blood.
"Dr. Ash?" Dr. Director said.
"Hmm. Yes. Take this one to lab four." He said and went over to listen to the others as they poked and prodded Kim and Sirius.
Guards moved and escorted Jean out the door. Her gaze locked on Kim's until she was out the door.
Betty Director watched and listened in as the doctors talked.
"Can you eject the claws?" one asked Kim.
"That would not be wise without her healing factor active." Betty said. Sheesh. The brightest minds in Global Justice and they are a bunch of idiots. She thought.
"Sorry, Director." The man said. They ran scanners over both Kim and Sirius. they took blood samples.
"Hound, do you know what types of electricity you can absorb?"
"Hound respond." The doctor said again and nudged Sirius.
"Fuck off." was the reply.
"Why you filthy…"
"Enough. We'll test their limits after the mind wipe. What do the scans show?" Dr. Director demanded of the three.
"The adamantium successfully bonded to Weapon X completely." Dr. Ash said checking the scans from the other two.
"And Agent Hound?" Dr. Director asked.
"The Hound also is successfully bonded, however it seems to have formed more over vital areas."
Betty entered the room further and took the scanner and checked the readings. "Hmmm. Shame we couldn't give him claws as well, but they might have disrupted his ability to use his normal mutant gift."
She tapped something on the scanner. "Looks like it formed a shield over his chest cavity with a lighter coating on his arms and hands."
"I saw that. It's like his body directed the adamantium to vital or important areas." Dr. Ash said stepping up next to her.
Dr. Director looked at the two mutants still sitting against the wall looking exhausted.
"Push Stage two back another day. I want to study the data we've collected. If their mutations can change factors in the project I want to make sure there are no mistakes."
The three doctors nodded. "When you finish with Dr. Grey, bring her to my office."
"Director?"
"While she is a mutant she was also one of the top minds in the field of mutations when she was younger, before she became a neurologist. I'd like to see her reactions to some of these findings. It's not like she'll remember after Stage two anyways,"
Kim and Sirius watched them go, neither saying a word till the door was shut.
"What a bitch." Sirius muttered.
"I used to think of her as an ally." Kim said softly.
Sirius leaned his head back. "Wonder when they'll feed us? I haven't eaten in a couple of days, and we were out yesterday according to your mom, and the day before as well…"
"You had to mention food." Kim said as her stomach made a sound in protest.
Sirius shrugged and shared a chuckle with her as his own stomach made an answering sound.
They sat in a comfortable silence for some time, their shoulders touching the whole time, both lost in their own thoughts.
AN: I had the first three chapters done for a while and decided to share them with you all until I get my usual grove on.
