Ron, meanwhile, had gotten bored with the training sessions and headed downstairs.

"What do you say we find out what these people have in their fridge buddy?" he asked Rufus.

"Uh-huh."

The blonde made his way to the Daring kitchen and began looking through the fridge for something edible.

"Hmm, wonder what's in this container" he said, opening a plastic container he pulled from the fridge, "looks like some kind of mystery meat." He took a sniff "ugh, I guess the mystery is who would be dumb enough to eat that."

"That'd be me" Dick's voice said from behind.

"Oh sorry, my bad" Ron said "me and Rufus here were just looking for some snackage."

"I hear ya bro" Dick said "so you're with that Kim Possible girl, right? What are you, her backup dancer or something?"

"Okay, first off, KP is not a singer, I don't know where you heard that" Ron corrected "and second, I'm her partner, and boyfriend."

"Really?"

"Yes! Why do people find that so hard to believe?!"

"It's cool homie, I know where you're coming from" Dick said "I mean, most people are surprised I'm married to K. I'm not exactly the most handsome man on the planet, after all."

"Yes, thank you" Ron said "finally, somebody that understands. I don't think we were properly introduced. The name's Ron Stoppable, and this is my buddy Rufus" he gestured to the mole rat in his pocket.

"Hello" Rufus chattered.

"Neat, a talking, bald hamster!"

"He's a naked mole rat, actually" Ron said "you'd be surprised how many people get that confused."

"I'm Dick Daring, world renowned stuntman" Dick said "I'm the only stuntman ever to attempt to jump 20 buses. I didn't make it all the way over and broke most of my bones, but it was still an accomplishment."

"Badical, I wish I had seen that"

"Come with me to the garage, and we'll rap some more" Dick said, leading Ron off.

"This is where I work on my stunt related vehicles" Dick said to Ron, as he showed him around "this is my crowning achievement, a rocket powered bathtub. Unfortunately, the laws of the city say I can't drive it, 'cause it's too dangerous."

"Dangerous to you, perhaps" said a sarcastic British voice "I'm not sure about the rest of the city."

"Who said that?" Ron asked.

"Oh, that was just C.A.R" Dick said, gesturing towards the part of the garage where the high-tech spy car resided "he's K's spy car. Yup, he and I are best buds."

"No we're not" C.A.R replied "I genuinely loathe you. And that's quite a feat since I don't posses any emotions."

"C.A.R and I love to joke with each other" Dick whispered to Ron "right back at you buddy" he said to C.A.R in a normal voice.

C.A.R sighed "so who's your friend, a young boy you decided to take under your wing? Word of advice for you kid, if you hang with Dick, you'll have broken bones and pain in your future."

"Coolio, a talking car!" Ron said "hey, you sound like that car on that show about the guy and his talking car."

"Please, that car isn't worthy to wipe my hubcaps" C.A.R replied.

"Hey could you say 'I have a bad feeling about this Michael'?" Ron asked.

"What am I, some kind of trained seal to perform for you people?" C.A.R asked "perhaps you'd like me to do a jig while I'm at it?"

"Actually, I've never seen a car dance before…"

"I was being sarcastic" C.A.R explained "did you not figure that out from my previous comments? Or is your mind as small as Dick's?"

"Okay, I'm beginning to see the downsides to having a talking car" Ron said "thank goodness the Sloth can't talk, who knows what it would have to say."

"Excuse me, the what?" C.A.R asked.

"The Sloth, it's the car of my girlfriend, world renowned hero Kim Possible" Ron explained.

"Oh yes, I think I've heard of her" C.A.R said "strictly an amateur, in my opinion."

"Amateur? Dude she's saved the world more times than I can count."

"Given your mental capacity, that doesn't seem all that impressive" C.A.R replied.

"You better quit mocking me car boy, or I'm gonna all smackmonkey on your chassis" Ron warned.

"Okay, first of all, 'smackmonkey' is not a word" C.A.R explained "and second, I have no idea what that means."

"It means you're going to get a taste of Mystic Monkey Power, fender face" Ron replied.

"Mystic Monkey Power? Oh that's rich!" C.A.R replied "tell me, what are you going to do, throw poo at me? Or perhaps you'll peel bananas and toss the peels at me. Or maybe, you'll hang from a tree and make annoying chattering noises."

C.A.R was cut out of his ramblings when Ron began to develop a blue glow. Even Dick seemed amazed by the aura surrounding the teen. Using the force of his powers, Ron sent forth a shockwave that sent the door of the Daring's garage flying off, crashing in the street nearby.

"Okay, I'll admit, that was impressive" C.A.R replied.

Back up in Riley's room, meanwhile, the girls finished their impromptu training session.

"That was good, you're definitely improving" Kim said.

"Thanks to you" Riley said "you making training fun and easy."

"I try" Kim replied "but most of it is you. I mean, your mom's a spy, so you must have picked up some of her skills."

"Um, not really."

"What do you mean?" Kim asked "I know I didn't get the intelligence of my parents, but I picked up some of their other traits. Although, I suppose athletics isn't really something you can inherit…"

"No, it's because she's not my real mom" Riley explained "me and Todd were orphans until we were adopted."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know" Kim replied solemnly.

"That's okay, it's not exactly a subject I bring up in polite conversation" Riley explained "'hi I'm Riley Daring; by the way, my parents are dead and I used to live in an orphanage before being adopted.' You can see how depressing that sounds."

"Still, that's ferociously sad."

"I don't mind it" Riley said "come on, let's get something to drink and then you can't meet my mom. I really think the two of you will hit it off."

Riley headed downstairs, seemingly not upset about the big revelation she had just made. Kim, however, was still shocked by the news.

Wow, I can't imagine what it was like to grow up without parents she thought but Riley seems okay with it. Maybe I should just stay out of this, it is none of my business. But I feel like I need to help somehow.

Kim then turned her attention to the Kimmunicator "Wade, I need you to check something for me."

In the next chapter, Kim learns more about Riley's early life, and finally meets Agent K, who has a shocking revelation of her own.
