Kim smiled at Ron, fixing his tie and flattening his lapels. "You know you don't have to be here for this." Ron said, taking a nervous breath. He was once again moments from his 'first' board meeting for his company, and still had no idea what he was doing.
"Are you kidding? Last time I left you alone, you were kidnapped, forced to battle super ninjas, and freed an astral plane of Monkey Fist's tyranny. You honestly think I'm going to miss out on that again?"
"They're ready for you, Mr. Stoppable. Again." Kalea announced, poking her head into the room.
"Just a few minutes, Kalea!" Kim replied, and the door closed again. She still hadn't completely decided if she liked this secretary of Ron's. She was certainly older, with dark skin and hair, and an aura of confidence that Kim knew came from a career in the the shark infested corporate world. "All the no longer mystical fighters and Yohan are being trained at Yamanouchi, Mantis is in prison therapy, and the Yono is defeated." she said. "How does it feel to save the world again?"
"Now that it's done? Good." Ron admitted. "I don't think I want to go through that again though."
"I think you deserve a break, hero." she grinned, taking his face in her hands and tickling his lips with hers for a moment before pulling away again. "I haven't heard back from Wade yet if he managed to get in contact with Drakken. I know Shego wasn't fond of her family, but I figured she would still want to know about Hego."
"How'd the rest of Team Go take it?" Ron asked, suddenly sober.
"Wego was understandably shocked, though Mego is dealing with it in his own way. Last I heard, he was writing a book about HIS experiences under Hego's leadership."
"Hey, speaking of books..." Ron said, eager to change the subject. "Have you heard anything about a book I may have mysteriously written?"
"You?" Kim snorted. "Sorry, Ron. But you had a hard time in English class, never mind writing a book."
At first, Ron was going to argue, but then shrugged and conceded the point. "Ready?"
"Re..."
'Beep beep beepbeep'
Kim dug into her purse to pull out her Kimmunicator. "What's the sitch, Wade?" she asked, mentally considering how long it's been since she said it.
Wade appeared on the Kimmunicator screen, breathing heavily as he ran. The background was unrecognizable, but Joss's voice could be heard struggling in the distance. "Just got a hit on the site about the Seniors and Joss and I are kinda busy with Killigan. Can you guys cover it?"
Kim and Ron looked at each other, grins growing to match the other.
"Mr. Stoppable?" Kalea asked again, open the door to find an empty room and a scribbled note in large, child-like writing on the table. 'Off to save the world. Please take care of stuff.'
Kalea sighed. "This is going to be a regular thing, isn't it?"
