Son of Shego
Chapter 03: The Clone Factor
[Global Justice Headquaters, Location: UNKNOWN]
WOOOOSH!
Kim, Ron and Joss walked into the Main Room of Global Justice HQ.
several agents were at monitors, apparently working hard.
Team Possible saw Dr. Director staring at a Large, Wide Screen monitor which showed a Live Video of S-25, who was sitting in what looked like an "Interrogation Room"
"Dr. Director?"
Director glanced at Kim with her good eye and smiled.
"Welcome, Kim...and, Team Possible."
Joss looked at the screen showing S-25 and sighed.
"So...Director.
did GJ figure anything out about our..."friend?"
"Not as much as I hoped..." began Director
"On the bright side, he`s been very "corroperative"
but, he hasn`t said a word since we brought him in...he just sits there and refuses to answer questions."
"oh...well, what have you found out?" asked Kim
"Besides the fact that he's got "badical" skills." added Ron
"Well...took some blood samples to do a DNA test."
"and?..." said Kim, interested
"He shares the DNA of the Super Criminal SHEGO, for one."
Kim looked wide eyed.
"I KNEW there was something familiar about him."
"Yeah, the whole GREEN SKIN and GLOWING HANDS thing kinda clued me in, too." said Ron
"yeah, well...that's the strange thing." began Director
Kim raised an eyebrow.
"Strange?
what do you mean "strange?"
Director continued to speak.
"The boy`s DNA is an Identical Match to Shego`s...right down to the last Gene.
no other Genetic Deviation of any kind whatsoever, the ONLY difference being that he`s MALE."
"So...what`s that suppose to mean?" said Ron
Director looked at the young people.
"I mean, I don`t think he`s a relative per-say...I think he`s a CLONE."
Kim, Ron and Joss gasped in shock.
"C-C-CLONE!
But, how could he be a clone!"
"i`m not sure...he won`t tell us where he`s from or even WHO created him, and for what purpose."
Joss broke out of her shock and thought for a minute.
"say...why don`t y`all let ME talk to him."
Director looked at the Teenaged Girl.
"and, what difference would that make?"
"Well, he TRUSTS ME for one.
I might be the only one who can make him talk."
Director ponders this.
"Okay...agreed.
but, only in the presence of GJ Agents...he IS a Shego clone, afterall."
"I don`t thing that`s neccessary."
"it wasn`t a suggestion, Ms. Possible." said Director sternly
Joss huffed.
"fine."
[Later]
S-25 was sitting quietly in the room, his arms crossed.
his eyes were narrowed, and his tapped his fingers stressfully.
then, the doors suddenly opened.
he saw Joss walk in...followed by some GJ Agents.
"Hey there." said Joss, trying to be pleasant
S-25 just groaned.
"I don`t like being treated like a Criminal, Joss."
"I Know, I Know...but, I can`t it.
these GJ fellas...their a stickler for "Security" and all that."
S-25 just sighed.
Joss walked up a took a seat, facing S-25.
"Dr. Director said you haven`t been answering any questions."
"I don`t trust them."
Joss looked at S-25.
"Why?
their the good guys."
"I don`t care.
they remind me TOO MUCH of some people who tried to kill me, once."
Joss paused, then sighed.
"Twenty-Five...I "Know" your a clone of Shego."
S-25 narrowed his eyes even more after Joss said that indicating that "Shego" was a name that only made him angry.
"But, I also know your not like her...you saved me and all those kids back in Middleton.
I want to help you, but that can only happen if you tell us more about yourself."
S-25 glanced at teh GJ Agents.
he then looked back at Joss...his expression softer now.
"Tell them to get rid of their guns." said S-25
"That is against regulat-"
"LOOK, if you want answers from me then, I need proof that I can trust you, GOT IT!" snapped S-25 at the Agent
"How do we know you won`t try to escape?"
Joss looked at S-25.
"Twenty-Five...do you PROMISE not to escape?" said Joss, kindly
S-25 looked at Joss.
"of course."
Joss looked at the agents.
they remained still and firm.
but, then, their radios activated.
one agent took it and put it at his ear.
"Yes?"
"remove your weapons, agent." said the voice of Dr. Director
"B-But, Director-"
"that`s an ORDER."
the agent sighed he removed his weapons and dropped them...the other agents did the same.
Joss looked back at S-25.
"so...what do you want to know?"
"Well, for starters: Where did you come from?"
S-25 sighed.
"I'm...not really sure."
"Then, start from the beginning: Tell us what you DO know."
S-25 exhaled sharply.
he was silent for a second...then, finally spoke.
"Doctor Cornealius Stryker."
"whose he?"
"HE is the..."man" who made me."
"Who does he work for?" asked an Agent, which S-25 just glared at
"Do you know who he worked for?" asked Joss
S-25 looked at Joss.
"no...I didn`t hear much about what was going on during my time locked in that Cloning Tank...or, Prison Cell."
S-25 then glanced at the GJ agents and glared at them.
"but, the facility I was kept in was filled with men that looked like THEM."
The agents eyes him.
"Okay, FOCUS here.
go on...Dr. Stryker, Cloning Facility."
S-25 looked back at Joss and continued.
"What I DID know...was that I was the product of a Cloning Experiemnt.
an experiment that dealt with cloning someone called SHEGO.
apparently, she`s suppose to be some BIG DEAL or something.
Stryker was pretty obsessed with his precious "Project: GO" being successful."
"you said to me once that you call yourself "S-25", is that what you were called there?"
"yeah...apparently I was the 25th clone created.
I guess the "S" obviously stands for "Shego"
"25th?
so...does that mean they`re were others?"
"yeah, but only I was successful.
the other clones didn`t turn out so well."
"Do you know where the Cloning Facility is?" said an Agent
S-25 glared at him.
"Do you remember where the Facility is?" asked Joss
"No, and even if I DID, it`s pointless."
"how come?"
"I destroyed it after I escaped."
Joss looked surprised.
"You...you destroyed it?"
"yeah...I did." said S-25 darkly
Joss gulped, fearing to ask her next question.
"were they...h-hurting you?"
"Hurt" is an understatement...it was TORTURE."
"What did they do?"
"you mean BESIDES locking me up in a cold cell with only stale bread and water?
well, they hooked wires into my brain and put me through this "Training"
They`d electrocute me if I did something wrong.
and, even if I DID do what they wanted...they still shocked me."
S-25 crossed his arms.
"I'm still not sure if it was part of the training...or, if he got a sick laugh out of it."
Joss was stunned at this.
"whoa...I didn`t-
I mean, I never-"
"Next question, please." said S-25
"Oh...right.
(clears throat) w-why were you in Middleton?"
"To get some answers for why I was created.
the only clue I have is that I was cloned from Shego."
"shego...
w-wait, you mean...your looking for Shego!"
"Stryker had to get my DNA somehow...
Shego must of been involved in my creation in someway."
"Is that why you were chasing those gangsters?"
"The VALENTI Gang is one of the most dangerous gangs in america...
from what I know, Shego is a skilled mercenary who works for scum like that."
"and, you were hoping they knew where she was." said Joss, figuring it out
"Yes...that was my initial plan: Question the Mob, and find Shego.
and, it WOULD of worked, too...had "Kimmie" not gotten in my way."
Joss gulped.
"S-Sorry about that."
S-25 shrugged.
"it`s alright."
Joss sighed.
"So...when you DO find Shego.
exactly, what are you planning to do?"
S-25 narrowed his eyes.
"FIRST...I`m going to force her to tell me EVERYTHING she knows about my creation.
I want to know the purpose of my existance...and, WHY I had to suffer the way I did."
Joss gulped.
"and...a-after that?"
S-25`s expression became DARKER.
anger and hate evident in his eyes.
"then...I`ll take my REVENGE of her.
nobody crosses me and gets away with it...EVER."
Joss looked at him.
she then became serious.
"one more question...why did you save those kids, and ME back there."
S-25 looke down, as if thinking deeply.
"I`m...not sure.
I guess I just...reacted."
"Reacted?"
"yeah...like it was instict or something."
Joss glanced at the agents...then, back at S-25.
"sit tight, twenty-five...i`ll get you out of this." whispered Joss
S-25 grinned.
"sure."
Joss stood up, turned and left.
she and the agents walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, Dr. Director (as well as Kim and Ron) had just finished watching this on the Monitor.
"Whoa...serious drama." said Ron
"Yeah, Ron...I know." said Kim, equally stunned
Director remained stonefaced.
she finally turned and faced Kim.
"Kim, may I speak to you...ALONE."
Kim glanced at Ron.
she then looked back at Director.
"Uh...sure."
Kim walked with director, leaving Ron alone they both exited to an empty hallway.
"What is it, Director?"
Director smiled.
"Kim...this is PERFECT."
"Perfect?" said Kim, unsure what the woman meant
"This "S-25" is just what Global Justice was hoping for.
a Shego Clone, uncorrupted by Villainy and Evil."
"Yes...it is quite amazing.
but, Shego used to be a hero, so...I guess I shouldn`t be surprised."
Director looked at Kim.
"Kim...Global Justice NEEDS S-25 on our side.
for too long, Criminals, Supervillains and Dictators have had the upper hand...GJ needs an advantage."
"Advantage?"
"Yes, because SHEGO is a Mercenary...and, a D*mn good one, too.
and, as a villain...Shego has been an endless source of grief for us."
Director then grins.
"But, S-25 may be our solution to this problem.
he`s a Clone of Shego who is OBVIOUSLY more powerful than her.
and, better yet...he hates Shego, and possably Evil in general.
with "a Shego" on our side...Global Justice will finally gain the upper hand against evil."
Kim eyed Director.
"Are you saying you want to USE him?"
"Not "use" him, Kim...recruit him."
"But, he doesn`t seem to like you OR Global Justice." said Kim, crossing her arms
"true...that could present quite a problem." said Director, pondering this
Director then got an idea.
"But, that`s where YOU come in."
Kim raised an eyebrow.
"what are you getting at?"
"GJ needs S-25's trust.
so, I want you to take him to your home and, CONVINCE him that joining GJ is within his best interests."
"M-My HOME!
you want me to have a Shego Clone live in my family`s house!"
"Just until S-25 joins us as an Honorary Agent...like you and your team has."
"But, WHY ME?"
"Because, S-25 seems to trust your Cousin."
"But, that`s just it: he only trusts JOSS!
How am I suppose to get him to trust me!: Help him find Shego!"
"ABSOLUTLY NOT, KIM.
on the off-chance that Shego ISN`T responsible for S-25`s creation, GJ CANNOT risk Shego luring him to HER SIDE."
Kim eyed her.
"So...let me get this straight.
you want ME to earn his trust, while lying to him at the same time."
"you don`t have to, Kim.
Drakken and Shego haven`t been seen since that Lorwadian Incident last year, even WE can`t find them."
"But, what if Drakken and Shego finally DO show up!"
"Hopefully when that happens, S-25 will be on our side.
but, if he isn`t...keep him AWAY from Shego until he does."
"BUT-"
"You can do this Kim...I know you can.
Besides...Your THE Kim Possible, remember?: "You Can Do ANYTHING."
Kim Groaned/Sighed.
"yeah...I guess I can."
"So...will you accept the mission?"
Kim took a moment to think about this.
the redhead then exhaled sharply and looked at Director.
"sure...no big, right?"
"Splendid!" exclaimed Director
"So...what should I do?"
"Take S-25 home, treat him like family make him feel "welcome"...hopefully, he`ll warm up to your team soon and be inspired to join Global Justice."
Kim sighed.
"great...we`ll be One, Big, Happy, FREAKY Family."
[Kim`s House, Much Later]
a Black Limo drove up near Kim`s House.
the Door opened, and Kim, Ron, Joss and S-25 got out.
"Good Day, Team possible...and, S-25."
S-25 just eyes the agent.
"You too.
send my reguards to Dr. Director." said Kim
The limo drove off.
"Well, thanks alot for clearing up that little nuesense...now, I`m off."
S-25 turned to leave.
"W-WAIT A MINUTE!, you can`t leave!" exclaimed Kim
"And, WHY NOT?" said S-25
"Umm...well, I-"
Kim stuttered to find a "good reason"
"We could help you find Shego!" exclaimed Joss
S-25 raised an eyebrow.
"you could?"
"SURE!
Shego is my Cousin`s arch-nemesis.
she and her fight ALL THE TIME!
so...if you stick around, you might have a better chance at finding her."
S-25 looked at Kim.
"Is that TRUE, Possible?"
Kim nervous.
"Uhhh...S-Sure!
me and Shego ALWAYS fight, it`s like our hobbies."
"Course both Shego and Drakken haven`t been seen or heard from since last year so, don`t expect to be finding her RIGHT AWAY...(frankly, I don`t mind the peace and quiet.)" said Ron
S-25 exhaled.
"great...so much for tracking down those Gangsters, again."
"So...will you stay!
you know, I would REALLY love to get to know you better." said Joss
S-25 looked at Joss.
for some reason, there was SOMETHING about the girl`s forest green eyes that got to him.
either THAT, or that Western Accent of hers.
which for some reason, S-25 found..."cute".
S-25 finally sighed.
"ALRIGHT...fine.
guess I`m in no hurry to be anywhere else." said S-25, his arms crossed
"GREAT!"
Joss rushed over and hugged S-25 tightly...
who gritted his teeth from the girl`s "Strong Grip"
"c-c-can`t...b-breathe!"
"OH!, Sorry..." said Joss, releasing him quickly
"Guess I don`t know ma` own strength."
"what are you, some "Body builder" or something?"
"No, I just help out my Pa at a Ranch in Montana."
S-25 stared at her awhile.
"oh...well.
that would explain it, then."
Kim walked up.
"O-Okay...
now, let`s all get inside the house." said Kim, who looked pretty nervous
S-25 sighed.
he walked with Joss towards the house atop a hill.
"hey, Kim...why are you freaking out?" said Ron, who was worried about his girlfriend
"i`ll tell you when we get to my room." whispered Kim
The door opened and the group walked into the house.
"MOM!, DAD!
WE`RE HOOOOOOOOOOME!" said Kim
"Welcome Back, Kimmie!" exclaimed Ann Possible
The teens all walked into the kitchen.
Jim and Tim were the first ones to notice S-25.
"Hey...that guy looks like your Arch-Enemy, SHEGO!" said Jim
S-25 eyed the twins.
Kim`s parents then took notice.
"Say...he DOES look alot like her." said Tim
"So what if I do...what`s it to ya!" snapped S-25
Jim and Tim froze for awhile.
"Kim, you know how we feel about bringing Supervillains to the house." said James Possible
Kim rushed over.
"Oh, He`s NOT a villain.
he actually saved some people earlier today!"
"He did?"
"Oh, I think i know what`s going on..." Began Ann
"You...D-Do?" said Kim
"yeah.
I heard that that Shego Person has Brothers in Go City."
Ann looked at S-25.
"You must me a relative or something, right?"
"Uhhh...sure." said S-25
Kim approached Joss and S-25.
"Why don`t you two go watch some television in the living room...i`ll be there in a minute."
S-25 shrugged his shoulders.
"whatever."
S-25 walked off, followed by Joss.
Kim then quickly turned and faced her family.
"OKAY, HERE`S THE SITCH!
THAT KID`S CALLED "S-25", AND HE`S A MALE CLONE OF SHEGO AND, GLOBAL JUSTICE PUT ME IN CHARGE OF MAKING SURE HE DOESN`T BECOME A VILLAIN LIKE SHEGO!" said Kim quickly
Kim's parents just stared at her, then looked at one another.
"Did you get ANY of that?" said Ann
"Actually, WE DID.
this guy is a Shego Clone, and Kim is suppose prevent him from becoming evil like Shego is." said Jim
"Ahhhh..." said Ann and James in union
[The Living Room]
S-25 was sitting silently on a couch his arms crossed and a glum expression on his face.
"So...what do you wanna watch FIRST on TV!
this thing has "1,846" channels!"
"and, probably nothing to watch, either." said S-25
Joss looked at him, then sighed.
"Okay...what DO you want to do?"
"The only think on my mind is finding Shego."
"Well, sorry.
but, you heard Kim and Ron...Shego and Drakken have been under the radar for a LONG TIME."
"Yeah-Yeah, I get it.
but, i can`t help it...finding her is all I can think about."
Joss looked at him.
then, thought of something.
"and, you know what is all "I" can think about?"
S-25 looked at her.
"What?"
"Giving you a BETTER NAME.
because, "S-25" just isn`t working for you."
S-25 eyed her, the sighed sharply.
"yeah...I guess you right.
do you have anything in mind?"
"Yeah, I`ve been thinking of several for you..."
Joss thought a bit.
"Okay, what do you think of DRAGO?"
S-25 just eyed Joss.
"are you serious?"
"Well, it`s the only name I can think of that ends with "Go"
"How about a name that DOESN`T have the word "Go" in it?"
Joss exhaled sharply.
"Okay-Okay...i`ll think of something else."
Joss thought a moment.
"green, green, green...
emerald...shamrock...jade."
Joss`s eyes suddenly lit up.
"HEY!, That`s It!"
"What`s it?"
"JADE!
That could be your New Name: JADE!
It`s the name of a GREEN Stone AND, it`s short for the name "Jayden"...which is a Normal Name."
S-25 pondered a bit.
"Jade, Hmmm..."
"You like it?"
S-25 looked at her...then, smiled.
"Okay.
Sounds cool, Un-Stupid and isn`t predictable...Jade it IS, then."
"GREAT!"
just then, Kim and Ron walked in.
"So...how are you kids doing?" said Kim
"Just great, PRINCESS." said Jade with Wit
Kim eyed Jade.
"We`re doing just fine, Kim.
I already gave him a new name, he`s JADE now." said Joss, proudly
"Jade.
Hmmm...well, I guess that`s a nice name."
Jade raised an eyebrow.
"you GUESS?"
Kim stuttered nervously
"Well, I-"
"oh, forget it.
I want to speak to you, anyway, Possible." said Jade, who stood up
"Speak to me?
A-About what?"
"Well, if I can`t find Shego at this moment.
then, how about you tell me EVERYTHING you know about her."
"K-Know?...like what?"
"Well, for starters: your Mother mentioned that Shego has brothers...mind explaining that?"
"Well, I-"
"Oh, she was talking about TEAM GO.
their a Superhero Team in GO CITY that Shego used to be part of." said Joss
"Shego...was a Superhero?"
"WAS is the key word.
she left the team to become a villain, the team fell apart afterwards."
Jade sighed.
"great...this Shego is just full of surprises."
"Oh, you don`t know the half of it..."
"WEEEEELL, I`ll just leave you two ALONE to talk."
Kim quickly grabbed Ron`s hand.
"COME ON, RON!"
"HEY!"
Kim and Ron quickly left the living room.
Jade just crossed his arms and sighed.
"that cousin of yours is WEIRD."
"yeah...she IS acting kinda "squirrly", today."
Jade looked back at Joss.
"So...about Shego."
[Kim`s Room]
Kim drug Ron into her room.
"KIM...what the "Diggity" is going on!"
"YEAH!" added Rufus
Kim exhaled deeply.
"Okay...here`s the thing.
[Later]
"And, that`s It!
So, NOW I have to get "Jade" to trust me AND Global justice while trying to keep him and Shego from meeting until GJ`s sure he`s on our side."
Ron looked at her.
"But...you said-"
"I KNOW WHAT I SAID!
ohhhh...I just know this`ll end badly."
"I know what you mean.
though your tagline is: "I Can Do ANYHING", well...let`s face it, KP: Your a TERRIBLE Liar."
Kim sighed.
"I know, I KNOW!
but, it`s just like Dr. Director said: Drakken and Shego haven`t been seen in over a year.
so, as long as they stay hidden...MAYBE I won`t have to lie.
and, besides...even if they DO show up, maybe Jade will be on our side by then...r-right?" said Kim, nervously
Ron thinks a bit.
"Well...he and Joss DO seem to be getting along pretty well.
and, he DID save all those school kids that one time, so...I`d say he`s off to a pretty good "GJ Hopeful" start."
"You really think so?" said Kim
"SURE!
but, just to be safe...we`d better get him interested in "Crime Fighting"
"Right, that sounds like a good idea.
but...how are we suppose to do that?"
Ron took something out of his backpack: Comic Books.
"Ah, BOO-YA!"
Kim looked at the books.
"Comic Books?
that`s gonna make Jade join Global Justice?"
"Not just any Comic Books, KP: SUPERHERO Comic Books.
and, I brought all the good ones, too!"
Kim took the books and looked at the covers.
"a guy dressed like a Bat, a kid that sticks to walls and, some hairy guy with knives sticking out of his hands...yeah, NOT seeing how this is gonna help, Ron."
"Just trust the Ronster, KP...he knows what he`s doing."
[Later]
Kim and Ron walked into the living room.
"Okay, are you kids ready fo-"
Kim suddenly sees that Jim and Tim and at the couch, watching TV.
"Hey, Kim!" said the Twin Teens in union
"What are you "tweebs" doing here!
where is Joss and Jade!"
"oh, they went over to Bueno Nacho." said Jim
"Bueno Nacho?
what on earth for!"
"Jade was bored...and, hungry." said Tim
"oh."
[Meanwhile, at Bueno Nacho]
"...and, That`s how Kim and Ron foiled Drakken "Little Diabo" scheme." said Joss
Joss and Jade (now wearing regular clothes) were sitting at a table in the restraunt.
they had spent most of the time talking (Mainly about SHEGO and her activities)
"and, Shego?" said Jade
"Oh, Kim knocked her into a tower.
it electrocuted her, then fell on top of her...but, she survived and went to prison."
"wow...she sounds tough."
"yeah, she is...tough enough to escape from prison TWICE."
Jade sighed sharply.
"You alright?" asked Joss, concerned
"oh...I don`t know.
I guess this Shego sounds like a real monster to me."
"yeah, she has done some awful stuff.
thievery, espionage, assault, murder, you name it, she`s done it."
Jade narrowed his eyes.
"yeah...which only make me MORE suspicious of her.
if she`s done all of that, what are the chances that she was involved in my creation?"
"Hmmm...dunno.
I guess "pretty good."
Jade just slumped down and grumbled, his arms crossed.
just then, some teenagers walked by...then, stopped to star at Jade.
Jade noticed this and glared at them.
"Take a Picture, it`ll last longer."
"DUDE...that is FREAKY." said one Teen
"Yeah, you skin is so...so..."
"Green?" said Jade, getting annoyed
"YEAH!, GREEN.
what are you, sick or something."
Jade clenched his fists, cracking the bones a bit.
"no...but I AM getting "sick" of something else, right now."
Sensing Jade`s anger, Joss finally spoke up.
"Hey!
why don`t y`all go away, if ya` can`t say anything nice."
the teens looked at each other, then started laughing.
"Hey...what`s so funny?"
the teens soon calmed down and replied.
"Oh, why nothing "Little Lady" said one Teen, in a Mock "Western" accent
"Yeah, we`re just a buch of "Mangy Coy-Yotes!"
The teens all laughed.
Joss wa snow getting stressed.
"HEY!
S-STOP MAKING FUN OF ME!" said Joss, who was tearing up
the Teens just continued to laugh at Joss.
"Aww, look..."Calamity Jane" gonna cry." snickered one Teen
Joss was indeed almost ready to cry.
if there was one thing she hated, it was people making fun of her Accent.
Jade, however...had gad ENOUGH.
the teen finally stood up and faced the two, teenaged boys.
"why don`t you take your business some place else and stop bugging us."
the First teen just sneered at Jade and got in his face.
"and, what if we don`t, "Broccoli Face?"
whatcha` gonna do then, HUUUUUH!"
Jade just smirked.
he was HOPING he`d say something like that.
"oh, nothing...just THIS."
Jade put an extended finger right at the teen`s face.
the tip of his finger charged with green energy...
then, the teen was blasted with a large burst of energy.
which sent him flying through the air and crashing into a wall...making him DAZED.
"GAHH!, YOUR A FREAK!" exclaimed the other Teen
"takes one to know one, I guess." said Jade, sarcasticly
The teen runs away.
and, despite this show of force...all the other people in the restraunt paid little mind to it.
in fact, a few clapped at Jade`s bravery.
in which the Teenager just smiled sheepishly.
Jade finally approached Joss.
"Well...come on, let`s go.
I'm sure we can find something else to do."
"uhhh...s-sure." said Joss, who was wiping away her tears.
the two teenagers left the restraunt by the time they made it to the sidewalk, Jade spoke to Joss.
"you, uhhhh...okay?"
"sure."
"you don`t SOUND alright."
Joss exhaled sharply.
"well...okay, I guess i`m not alright.
I thought i`d be used to people making fun of the way I talk by now...guess I was wrong."
"I don`t think there`s anything wrong."
Joss looked at Jade.
"you don`t?"
"naw...
I think your accent is...cute."
Joss stared at Jade.
she then turned and blushed.
"Well, anyway...thanks for sticking up for me."
"I didn`t do a good job." said Joss, feeling ashamed
"at least you TRIED...that`s all that matters."
"Well, I couldn`t let them make fun of the way you looked."
"yeah...I can understand that."
Joss was silent, then spoke.
"have you...even been teased over your Green Skin?"
Jade shrugged.
"Well, I traveled alot after I escaped that cloning facility...
and, in every town I went to, I encountered some "weird looks" from people, so...yeah, I guess."
"how long ago was that?"
Jade thought a bit...then, sighed.
"i can`t remember...it`s been too long."
"oh...i see."
there was a silence.
"well...just so you know: I like your skin color."
Jade looked at her.
"You do?"
"sure!
green is a nice color."
Jade blushed a little.
"your just saying that."
"no, i`m not.
I think it`s a nice color...goes with your eyes."
Jade smiled.
"Along with some OTHER features." said Jade, who charged his hand with energy for a moment
Joss giggled.
BEEP BEEP BEEP-BEEP!
Joss suddenly stopped and looked at her pocket.
"what is it?" said Jade
Joss reached in and took out a Blue, Handheld device.
"My Kimunicator."
Joss pressed on a button.
Wade appeared on the screen.
"Hi, Wade." said Joss
"Hey, there Joss."
"So...what`s up?"
"we have a situation.
Global Justice has detected a disturbance in the Amazon Rainforest.
details are sketchy, but, all clues point that DNAmy is in the area."
"DNamy?"
what`s a DNAmy?" said Jade
Joss turned to Jade.
"DNAmy is a mad geneticest...who is OBSESSED with "Cuddle Buddies."
Jade just scoffed.
"you mean those Plush Toys I keep seeing?, what`s so threatening about THAT."
"Plenty." began Wade
"DNAmy is known for Illegal Gene Splicing.
most in mixing various Animal DNA...occasionally with Human DNA, as well."
Jade pondered this.
"Hmmm...Gene Splicing.
okay, that registers as WEIRD."
Joss looked at Wade.
"What`s Amy doing in the Amazon?"
"Not sure, yet...
but, her mutations have been spotted in several locations there.
GJ believes she`s looking for something...they just don`t know what, though."
Jade scoffed once more.
"I thought those "Spy People" were suppose to know EVERYTHING." said Jade, his arms crossed
"Wade...why are you telling this to US?, shouldn`t you be telling Kim?"
"Kim and Ron are currently on another mission...to stop Professor Dementor."
"Now, HIM...I know of." said Jade
Jade suddenly thought of something.
"W-Wait a minute!
me and Joss haven`t been in town THAT LONG, are you telling me this all happened "Half-An-Hour" ago?"
"Uh...yeah.
in fact, DNAmy just came up.
look, I know your new at this, Joss but, I couldn`t think of anyone else to send."
"No Big, Wade.
just give me and Jade some time to get ready, and we`ll-"
"WHOOOOOOA!, THERE!
who said anything about ME going!"
Joss faced Jade.
"JADE!, COME ON!
DNAmy is somewhere in the Amazon doing...something, WE HAVE TO STOP HER!"
"Joss...we don`t KNOW what she`s doing in the Rainforest.
fro all we know, who could just be hunting for new DNA Samples or something."
"In the hands of DNAmy, that`s as dangerous as an Atomic Bomb in Dementor`s Possesion." said Wade
Jade groaned.
"Look, unless one of her "Wild Mutations" are rampaging in a populated city I fail to see the urgency, here...why not let GJ handle it."
"J "CAN`T"...that is why they called us."
Jade snickered.
"Riiiiight, of course not."
Joss looked at Jade.
"Jade...I`ve always wanted to go on my first SOLO mission.
and, I was hoping you`d come with me...PLEEEEEEEASE!"
Joss began to quiver her lip, her eyes now wide.
Jade just stared at the girl...who was (as much as he hated to admit it) getting to her.
"okay, stop it.
STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!"
Joss continued her "Puppy Dog Pout."
Jade gritted his teeth, growling to himself he finally sighed deeply as he looked at her.
"I won`t have to wear those ridiculous Cargo Pants will I?"
