4 Memory Beta
She sat there stroking his mark.
The scar that he used to define others, not himself.
"I love you Captain, my Captain." She whispered as she took in his rough face.
Her fingers traced every scar, wrinkle and pucker that formed his face.
And it gave her a thrill to do so, to feel that which showed yet hid the man beneath.
The Cap'n.
"Spill." She sternly said, taking him by surprise as she gently stroked his cheek. "Now."
"I can't. NOT here. We'll go to my ship. Discuss it there." He said as he turned his face into her caress and kissed her palm. He stood. The Cap'n was back. "Let's go."
"Ok." She said as she rose to follow.

As they walked along the causeway Kim thought about how they got here…
Kim's parents sent her to Triton to visit her Uncle Slim on one of the new ships her Dad had designed. Ron had to stay behind and learn his Dad's business.
While she was visiting The Others came.
The War started as a bid by certain elements in the Outer Planets to gain their independence, it was a novel concept to certain species that had never understood the concept of war 'til they met Humans. The Syndicate arose from this conflict.
Kim was 10 when they came. Her Aunt Moira and her cousin Joss had died during the flash war; she was diagnosed as having brain trauma caused by nerve plague from said war. She quickly 'recovered' and returned to Earth once the Inner Planet's lines had been pushed past Neptune.
She quickly found out she had perfect verbal retention that rivaled Ron's with perfect pitch. Her mathematical skills had increased as well.
However Kim was having problems adjusting to her expanded abilities and shut down.
Anne Possible placed Kim in her good friend Wade Load's care 'til she recovered enough to function. He was a Neuro-psychiatrist that had worked with Anne on several cases of nerve plague from the War with marked success using his second love, computers; in conjunction with traditional enzyme and tissue therapies. Kim began to respond to treatment…
Ron begged their parents to be at her side… of course they said yes.
A year passed.
Between the doses of Ronshine, the love of her family and Wade's therapy she recovered and took on her studies with a vengeance.
Meanwhile the family fortune from the starship business grew.
As did The Syndicate's influence.
The War still smoldered in places in the Five Galaxies due to the Syndicate's meddling.
With Wade's help Kim started her website and linked her fortune to it to help refugees and others that had been displaced by The War.
Kim formed a crew, bought a ship and proved 'She Could Do Anything'.
Then she met opposition from The Syndicate.
By this time she and Ron were 17. They were preparing to graduate from High School; Kim had finished most of her college as well and was thinking about their future when THE Mission came.
The Syndicate was attacking Other transports… a call for help was issued.
Kim and her crew were the closest ship in the area.
The came in guns blazing, destroyed The Syndicate ships and saved the Other fleet.
They became a legend.
Ron stood in her shadow, content that his best friend had come so far from where she'd been.
The Others watched Ron and started to call him The Man Of The Five Galaxies amongst themselves.
The Syndicate, embarrassed that Kim Possible had inflicted such heavy losses swore vengeance.
She told them to bring it.
They did.
Her Father and brothers were assassinated before her, Anne's and Ron's eyes; as well as the Five Galaxies during her receiving The Medal Of Valor for the rescue of the Other fleet.
Anne became a recluse, Kim and Ron fought on with the quiet help of Fleet Command's intel division.
The Syndicate evaporated.
Kim and Ron graduated.
Ron got disfigured by Brick; who found out why Ron was to be respected as a Chosen.
Ron went to the Academy and promised to return to Kim. He surprised his mentors at the Academy with his unconventional strategies and tactics and graduated egregia cum laude from the harshest program he could devise.
His guiding light was Kim.
His Best Friend.
His One True Love.
Kim.
Kim got her double PhD's in Linguistics and Mathematics, continued the missions with her crew and waited for Ron while striving to understand The Others.
Ron disappeared on a mission. Steve Barkin knew there was only one person that could find him. He bucked ranks with his boss' hidden permission… he didn't know how or why but he knew Ron was alive… He gave her all the data they had on a new code that had appeared…
Babel-17.
Kim realized it was a language and began to translate it.
He asked Kim to find him.
She did. Kim had picked a new crew and went in search of Her Man. He'd been captured somehow and twisted by The Syndicate into their tool. Kim was able to save him by using her experiences with her trauma and growing knowledge of Babel-17 to snap him out of it and heal him.
Ron's gratitude caused his heart to burst… He couldn't hide it anymore, and confessed his Heartfelt Love for Kim.
She said, "No Duh!" and returned it. "I Love You Too. Why Do You Think I Took This Mission?"
She and Ron mastered Babel-17, evolved it three more levels, and kept it from Fleet Command. They decided to use it against The Syndicate.
Their love solidified.
On THE Night…
She got wind of evidence that The Syndicate was TOTALLY behind her family's murder.
Ron was left waiting.
Kim became The Gypsy, left a message for Ron, and began her Hunt. She was known as 'The One That Gets It Done'. Agent Extraordinaire. The Ballbreaker in less polite company.
He received her message via Babel-20 and understood.
To help her, he left the Fleet and became The Cap'n.
Pirate, Rogue, Principled Scoundrel.
The Man Of The Five Galaxies.
The Rogue that Stood for the Little Sentient.
Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable had come into their own.
And didn't apologize for it one bit.

"Ron… I'll do it." She said with a look as they walked hand in hand.
"KP I can do it. I've been doing it. Besides you did it last time when you rescued me." He said with a grin as he squeezed her hand.
"Tell you what… let me do it and I'll make that night up to you." She said with a pouty wink and kiss on his cheek.
"Ok." He said with a grin, "Go ahead. But you'd better have something special in mind when you make that night up."
"Oh, I have something in mind Potential Boy." She purred as she wrapped herself in his embrace. "GOD! I missed you! Never again."
"Ditto." He said as he hugged her tight. "Never Again KP. I Love Ya Gal. That's why I dumped The Fleet and became Cap'n Light… For You."
"Thanks Ron." She said with a kiss, "Let's pick a crew."
