Chapter Nine: True Colors-Part One

Kim and Veronica didn't know where they were when the blacked out sedan they rode in stopped. Kim shivered as they walked into the training area a few hours after they were taken at gunpoint by Betty. Kim's first instinct was to run, but she had no where to go. "Kimmie," Veronica spoke gently when she saw the teen in danger of giving up hope. "Don't you do this to me!" The woman growled with a hard glare. "We'll teach Betty and Gemini we're not their personal toys, but we have to play nice for now." Kim was broken. "They took us away at gunpoint and shoved us in cars without giving us so much as a warning!" Kim said as tears showed in her eyes. "Welcome to the real world, Pumpkin. A world where people use you and experiment without pause on you just because you don't fit as 'normal'. The only reason GJ didn't haul you off sooner was because you didn't show any signs of physical difference." Veronica knew Kim was still unsure about her, so she was slow to hug the girl and offer what little comfort she could. Kim squeezed the tears out and pulled Veronica into a tight hug. "I need you, my Knight." She said quietly. Veronica rubbed Kim's back and kept her close. "I'm not going anywhere, Kimmie." Knight? What does she mean by that? Veronica thought to herself as Kim continued to lean into Veronica, drawing strength from her presence.

The Possibles were nervous. They hadn't seen any hint of their daughter or her girlfriend since GJ hauled them away. That was two weeks ago. Wade wasn't even able to track Kim. In the wake of Kim and Veronica vanishing, Wade came clean that he planted a tracker on Kim and Ron for emergencies like this. Wade had to tell the Possibles that there were two options as to why the tracker was not functional: a) GJ found and deactivated Kim's or more likely b) signal interference. "This has got to be some scheme to get back at me for breaking up with her all those years ago." Ann said sadly as she put her head in her hands and fought to keep it together. James put a hand on his wife's shoulder. "You listen to me, Ann. It is not your fault Betty has her head screwed on backwards." James said gently. "We have to focus on Kimmie Cub and her girlfriend right now." Wade had an idea. "Ron may be able to help. Let me call you back after I talk to him." Wade said with a smile. Ann and James looked at each other in confusion. "Ronald?!"

Ron Stoppable looked more fit now that Yori moved to the States to help Ron keep training. It was in one such training session with Yori that Wade called. Ron's Kimmunicator screen came to life right as Ron pinned Yori in a sparring match. For a moment, Wade thought they were…being intimate. "Am I interrupting something?" Wale's voice spoke from the device's speaker. Ron turned back with a blush. "No, Wade. What's up?" Wade shivered as he looked away from Ron and Yori for a moment. "Kim and Veronica were captured by GJ." Ron's face hardened. "I never trusted that one-eyed bitch." Ron growled as Yori put a hand on his shoulder. "Should I patch you through to Yamanouchi?" Wade asked calmly. Ron shook his head. "Yori and I will rescue KP." Yori gave him a piercing glare. "…and Shego." That was still a sore spot. Kim always acted odd around Shego. It didn't make sense to the blonde. "She's tried to kill Kim so many times. What's going on with her?" Yori smiled and wrapped her arms around Ron from behind. "Give her a chance, Ron-chan. Kim needs you now. You need to honor her by respecting Shego, too." Ron sighed and kissed Yori's cheek. "I'll do it for you and Kim only."

When Ron and Yori dropped in front of Mr. and Mrs. Possible from the living room vents, Mr. Possible jumped back in surprise. "Ronald…it's *ahem* nice to see you again." Ron only nodded. "Wade, are we secure?" Wade came on the TV with a nod. "I have schematics for GJ's latest building. It's a training facility of some kind, but it's…" Wade gave Ron and Yori an odd look as he double checked the plans. "…build under and integrated into the new design of the high school." Ron blinked. "What happened to the school?" Wade shook his head. "Ron, I don't think it's my place to tell you what happened. You'll have to ask Kim when you can." Yori saw her boyfriend tense for a second. "Wade is correct, Ron. We must find out from Kim-san herself." Ron nodded and looked at Mr. and Mrs. Possible. "We will bring Kim back, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. P." With that, Ron and Yori disappeared in a smoke bomb.

Inside the underground complex, Kim sighed. "We can't get out." She whispered. Veronica glared at her. "'Nothing's impossible for a Possible.' Your Mom and Dad saw us get hauled away. Ann will not let Betty keep you. She's probably sent Ron after you." Kim looked up. "Veronica, you said, 'Ron'. You didn't call him 'Buffoon'." Veronica laughed at Kim. "People can change, Kimmie." She said gently. "Ninja Girl gave him a kick in the nuts he needed. I've grown to respect him." Kim glared at her. Veronica giggled. "I said, 'respect' not 'love'." Veronica grinned at Kim in a devious way. "For someone with such a bleak outlook on lesbians, you're well on your way to being one. You enjoyed yourself in my body, you enjoyed the kisses I gave you while you were in my body, and you even a have a unique nickname for me: Knight." Veronica looked at Kim as saw a glimmer of hope ignite in Kim's eyes. "There's Kimmie." Veronica said with a smirk. "Where did you get that nickname anyway?" Kim blushed and looked away as she tried to ignore the question.

Kim's eyes met the optic of a camera as she looked away and avoided the question. "Fastball…" Kim mumbled. "What?" Veronica asked. "Fastball Special me at the camera." "Why?" Veronica asked in confusion. Kim kissed her cheek. "Trust me." Veronica smiled, picked up Kim, and threw her at the camera. Kim gripped it tightly, reached behind her head, and plucked a tiny device from her scalp. Please, let me be right. Kim thought as she carefully placed the micro-tracker on the back of the camera. Kim grinned as the camera glitched, and an LED on the tracker glowed red. Once Kim was sure the tracker was active, she jumped down from the camera and landed on her feet. "What was that for?" Veronica asked. "I just gave Wade our location, and the Trojan in the tracker will give Wade access to this sector of GJ surveillance." Kim said. Veronica grinned. "I like this new side of you, Pumpkin."

Ron and Yori were going in the empty school building when Ron's Kimmunicator pinged in his ear comm. Ron simply pushed a button on the earpiece to send acknowledgment. Wade spoke. "Kim's tracker just popped back online with a back door into their surveillance systems." Ron nodded. "Expand the Trojan to comms, Wade. If a GJ Agent farts, I want to know about it." Wade only chuckled at Ron's hyperbole. Ron and Yori slipped deeper into the bowels of the dragon until they came to the lower levels. Ron smiled when he spotted guards and slid around them with ease. When Ron heard footsteps running toward him and Yori, he tensed on instinct. At that moment, Wade broke into the GJ comms. "…and Subject Two are loose!" Ron scowled as he heard Betty respond, "Terminate on sight!" "No one hurts-" Ron cut himself off when he saw the source of the footsteps. "KP!"

At Ron's jovial shout, guards seemed to materialize out of the walls. "Kim, get Shego out of here and go! Yori and I will take care of these guys." Ron said with an alien seriousness in his face. "No, Ron. I'm done running!" Kim pulled Veronica into a passionate kiss and giggled. Ron was stunned. "Kim?!" Yori elbowed him. "Don't spoil the moment, Ron-chan!" Her grin only widened as Veronica turned into green plasma and became armor around Kim. "Alright, boys! Let's party!"
