A/N: This story came from my own mind. I have used the characters from the Disney TV show 'Kim Possible' the rights to all characters, events and places that were in that show belong to the Disney Corporation and not myself.
I make no money from the publishing of these stories that I write cause I just do it for entertainment. I suppose it's better that way. Now the characters that I have created belong to me. Ask if you want to use them and I will send along their bios.
I want to thank CajunBear73 for his badical beta skills. As I have said before if you can read it thank him I know I do.
I also want to thank Shrike176, KP's Man, CB73, Readerjunkie, Screaming Phoenix and Earl Allison for the reviews to chapter 9. As some have noted some of this is ewwwww. Or as CB73 has told me 'Bleah', I need something to drink. Also remember this story is rated 'M' so there is gonna be some of that in here.
Also there is some people beginning to hate Josh Mankey, he and I came to a deal...I trash him real good in one ARC and then in the next one he's a hero. By now he's probably wondering if it's worth it.
Well we've put it off long enough.

Revenge and Reversal
Chapter 10
Global Justice Headquarters:
The hoverjet landed, Shego looked out the cockpit windows. 'Well we have a welcoming committee. Good news travels fast.', she mused with a frown.
"Hi Deputy Director, what's up?", she asked after exiting the craft.
"Well I suppose we're going to need a report on this. Are you sending the jet back to get the recordings?", Du asked.
"Yeah, sorry about that, I should have remembered. It was a long hairy night and we were all beat.", Shego explained, "Not only that, but you wouldn't believe those people."
"I understand, why don't you bring in what you have and get some sleep. I have a bad feeling about all of this. Anyway Drakken won't be here for a few hours yet.", Will suggested.
"Yea, you're right. We'll have the tapes by 1800 local and by that time maybe we can figure out what happened.", she replied. Shego turned to Rhonda, "Sorry to keep you up kid, but I'm getting too old to stay up for three days straight. When you get back just get the recordings to me and you got a three day vacation to make up for it."
"Thanks Ma'am, we'll hurry.", Rhonda replied.
"OK everyone bring in all the evidence and turn it over to Deputy Director Du. Then get to your rooms and get some rest and a bite to eat.", Shego ordered.
Will was sitting across from the green woman in the cafeteria. "Well how bad did we screw it up?", Will asked.
"You didn't screw anything up, I did.", Shego growled.
"I didn't have you bring those two in. It was my decision not yours. So it was my screw up not yours.", Will countered.
"Will there's enough blame here for everyone. Hell, we can even hit Ronnie-kins with 'why didn't you kill little Joshie out of hand when you had the chance' right after he married Kimmie. I mean who would have blamed him?", Shego calmed at bit.
"Well just doing it like that would have taken a bit of covering up and remember we were still finding things out at the time. Still it's a wonder Stoppable's Ranger buddies didn't just drop Mankey out of that C-130 without a parachute. That would have saved us a ton of trouble and saved us a lot of money watching him over the last couple of years.", then shaking his head.
"Still it wouldn't have been the legal way of doing it. I don't plan on going back to being a rogue agent Shego. I've come a long way since Stoppable stomped the crap out of me.", Du explained.
"Oh I heard the rumors, I suppose that he wasn't in a real good mood then was he?", she asked.
"Oh he taught us a lesson, but he didn't go overboard. Anyway like you told the others get some rest. Maybe when we are looking at the tapes maybe we might be able to think this through.", Du replied.
"Yeah see ya later Will. I have to get some beauty rest, maybe not as much as Princess needs but...", she laughed letting it hang.
"Go get some sleep Shego, you're getting punchy.", he laughed hoping that nothing would come of the screw up.

Ronald and Kimberly Stoppable home:
"Anna I'm going to start a soup. Now when I get it going we're going to get you changed. Can you go into your room and take your shoes off.", her Daddy asked.
"Yeah Daddy I can.", Anna replied with a giggle.
"Surrre you can.", Ron observed as he looked in on his daughter to make sure she was alright.
Ten minutes later Ron walked into her room. "Hi Daddy. See I took my shoes off.", Anna giggled again.
"And everything including your training pants too I see.", Ron observed aloud, "Come on lets get some play clothes on you. We're going to turn blue after lunch honey."
X
There was a knock on the door and Ron went out to see who it was, leaving Anna, now fully clothed and munching on some grapes, "Hey guys how did the range go today?", Ron asked the other Rangers."
"We got our choice of scopes for the team and I'm going to make similar recommendations to GJ." Walt Harris told his friend, "I'm going to order some upper receivers for those .458 SOCOMs too. I wanna see how they work."
"Sounds like a good idea Walt. You guys look hungry, I have soup and sandwiches. Everything will be done in about thirty minutes. While you have the chance you can show Kim the data for GJ and the team and she can get started on the paperwork.", Ron replied.
As if on queue, the red head showed up with a smile, "Did Ron invite you guys for lunch?"
"Yes Ma'am and while he's finishing it there's a few things we'd like to go over on this morning's exercise.", Walt explained.
"Sounds good. I'll get my notebook and we can get it done before we eat.", she told them.
While they were meeting Ron was entertaining Anna and catching the weather updates. A notice got his attention, 'Hmmm that throws a monkey wrench into everything. I suppose I'd better let Bert know.'
Nearly thirty minutes later while Anna was munching on some cheese and apples Ron called them for lunch.
"Give us five more honey. We're almost done in here.", Kim called back.
In five minutes the Rangers who took part in the morning fact finding mission were seated around the kitchen table with the Stoppables. "Uh Bert I just caught the weather update. We're gonna get hit over night with a huge storm. Do you wanna wait it out or take an early flight?", Ron asked. "Oh I just thought of something the Gulfstream got in last night. I could have it take you when you get ready.", Ron informed him
Sergeant Harris looked at the report on the news channel that was on. "Ron I have to talk to Wanda, but I think I want to be in the air tonight. I can have one of the guys from the battalion pick me up and can crash at his place and meet up with Mrs. Booth first thing in the morning. We might have to drive further south before we come east. At the most the storm might add a day or two. I won't be in a hurry to get back.", he replied thoughtfully.
"Sorry to wreck your plans tonight Sarge.", Ron told his friend.
"It's not a problem. Wanda will be alright with it.", he replied.
After lunch Walt and Bert left, leaving Tom Harris with the Stoppables. "You know I could have flown back and brought Mrs. Booth back to Middleton guys.", he informed them.
"And you're on leave too bud, don't worry about it. If you're lucky you can go to the mall with us. Albert will be fine, Wanda's even good with this. And in the end Bert will end up with a big smile on his face.", Ron told his old squad mate.
"OK Sarge let me get changed. I'd love to go shopping with Mrs. Stoppable and Anna.", he laughed.
"And you're not married?", Kim asked.
"No Ma'am."
"Well when the girls around here find guys that love to shop with them...well they go off the market pretty fast.", Kim informed him laughing, "In fact if I wasn't attached you'd be mine."
"Oh don't listen to KP, Tom. She talks like that a lot.", Ron laughed while Kim blushed.
"Uh thanks Sarge, uh Ma'am I don't ever want him mad at me...it's sorta a life ending proposition.", Tom told her while nodding at Ron.
"I was just kidding. No one will ever make me leave his side again.", Kim replied softly.

Remote location in Idaho:
Dr. Hall looked at her cards that held DNA information, humming happily to herself, 'Now we used giant gorillas last time and it worked. So we need them, but I have to increase their intelligence. Also need some scout monkeys...and wings. Monkeys with wings. Then I'll imprint what I need into their little minds. And I'll use some of my special little mice. Yes that will work. I need the hands that the buffoon took from Mr. F. Then I make more Mr. Fs and I'll make them stronger and faster.'
Meanwhile Josh Mankey was outside on a snowmobile scattering toy-like devices per Dr. Hall's instructions, 'Man is it windy out here. I can hardly see three feet. I hope I don't freeze to death doing this little chore. A nice whiskey would go good when I get done. Hmmmm maybe Amy can take a break too.'

Middleton Mall:
Ron and Tom were carrying the packages from Kim and Anna's foray into Club Banana. Both men were sweating from the exercise, but they were tough.
The Army did a fine job getting them used to taking orders, but their strength and endurance were no match for ladies and their shopping sprees. As a result, they were sitting out front resting their weary limbs.
"Well lo and behold, I never thought that I'd ever see you back in Club Banana again.", Hope Chang stated as she checked out the new guy a little.
Ron looked at the beautiful Chinese-American woman, "Hey cheer bud, how have you been?"
"Not bad Ron, I caught that news show, looks like you and Kim got bored huh?", she replied.
"Hey we're all about helping people. Anyway I've been allowed back in Club Banana, so Kim and squirt have been dragging me in here for a couple of days.", Ron informed her, "Now what are you doing back in Middleton?"
"Well Ron I'm a Bridesmaid at Bonnie's wedding. So, I came in to get fitted for my dress. I haven't been home since Tara's wedding. And I wasn't talking about helping people I was talking about raising more cute little Stoppables.", she replied.
Ron watched Hope checking out his fellow pack mule and smiled, "Tom Wilson, this is Hope Chang one of the ten most beautiful women in the country and I count KP, Mrs. P and Monique among them. Hope this is Tom Wilson, he's a good friend that I worked with in the Army."
"Ma'am it's nice to meet you.", Tom smiled.
"Hmmm I remember you, were you at Kim and Ron's wedding a few years ago?", Hope asked.
"Yeah I was one of the guys in green. I wasn't able to make the dinner afterward though. I had to get some fresh air.", he smiled.
'Fresh air. Jumping out of an airplane at over 30,000 feet is called getting fresh air buddy?', Ron mused.
"Oh didn't you feel well?", Hope asked wondering if there was something wrong with the fine looking specimen that was sitting in front of her.
"Uh no...I uh promised to help a friend with a little problem.", he told her.
"Oh did you fix it then?", Hope asked becoming more interested in the young man.
"I think we went a long way to fixing the problem Ma'am. So I think that I and some friends of mine made a difference.", he cryptically replied.
At this time Kim and Anna approached. "Well did you give momma her exercise this morning squirt.", Ron asked Anna, "I counted at least six times around the mall."
All he got was a giggle in return.
"Hi Hope good to see you. You look great.", Kim told her old cheer mate from Middleton High as she reached to hug her old friend.
"You do too Kim, being pregnant agrees with you. How are they doing?", Hope asked her friend.
"I think I'm doing better this time. When I was carrying Anna Mom kept bugging me all the time and I was nervous about Ron. Trust me when the father of your child is being shot at it's not a very pleasant way to live.", Kim explained, "Now that Ron's home I am much more relaxed."
"I can see where you could be nervous. It's a wonder how all those women do it. Are you guys up for a snack?", Hope asked.
"Yea! BN!", Anna squealed with glee.
"See what you did Hope, Ron's got her trained. We can go over to the store in the mall and grab a bite. Tom would you take this other package that I got for Anna?", Kim asked saving the puppy dog pout for later.
"Sure Ma'am I'd love to.", Tom replied.

They were seated in one of Kim and Ron's old booths actually the same one where Ron saw Kim the last time before he left. 'Will I ever get over that?', he worried as he looked at his wife with sad eyes.
Hope made sure that she was seated across the table from the new guy because she wanted to find out a lot more about him.
"So where are you from Tom?", she asked smoothly while taking a sip of soda.
"Uh...I'm from a small town in Iowa that nobody's ever heard of. I guess it's only got about fifty people in it now.", he replied.
"Oh do you ever go back to visit friends and family?", Hope kept digging.
"Uh...No, you see all the kids my age moved out as soon as they got out of high school. We had to bus about twenty miles to another town. Anyway my brothers and sister moved before I did since I was the baby. Mom and Dad got killed in a car wreck a few weeks after I enlisted. So the last time I saw any of my siblings was during the funeral. I just went where the Army sent me.", Tom explained.
"I'm sorry.", Hope replied softly not knowing what else to say.
"Don't worry about it, I have dreams about Mom and Dad once in a while. At least they're better than the other ones.", he cryptically mentioned.
"What..."
"Uh Hope, what you don't understand is that Sergeant Wilson is a combat soldier. I can tell you that he may have nightmares on occasion. Ron still does in fact and for a while I was at a loss on how to help. I can tell you that after thirty months of being married to Ronnie he has gotten better. I know this is hard to understand, but I think that Tara can back me up on this too. Ben's had a hard time as well.", Kim informed her friend.
"I didn't know Kim. I thought it was all just walking around.", Hope replied.
"Hope I don't want to scare you off from Tom, but being close to a Ranger is not for everyone. The military has a high number of divorces. There is a lot of stress on combat troops doing multiple tours and their families.", Kim told her friend.
"I'm sorry I didn't know.", Hope replied though still interested in the young man.
"Uh Tom I never asked, but were you with Ron when...when I was injured?", Kim asked.
"Uh..Mrs. Stoppable, I don't know what to say.", he glanced at Ron who nodded.
"Yeah I was...I'm sorry we weren't faster, then after Ron went down. We sorta went nuts a bit and most of us weren't listening to the radio. All we wanted to do was kill the bad guys.", he reflected, then continued.
"He was shot in the head and we had to leave him and pursue the bad guys.", he continued, "We take an oath never to leave a Ranger behind and at that point we did. It was very traumatic for us. A few of the guys had to talk to shrinks for a bit to get over it."
Hope looked at Kim, then Ron, then Tom, in shock, "You're pulling my leg right?"
"Uh, no Hope, we're not. This is no joke. Ron has PTSD and probably Tom does as well. I know between the UN bombing and the raid I went on, I had it too. I just don't know if the drugs that Josh had been forcing me to take made it better or worse. For a long time I just had nightmares about Ron.", Kim replied.
"Drugs?", Hope asked in shock.
"Yeah Hope I got married to Josh Mankey while he and a few others were controlling me through mind altering drugs. The whole plan was to draw Ron out in the open and kill him. Everything else was bogus. They wanted Ronnie dead because of some honor thing from when Ron went on that exchange trip."
"It seems like this one guy stole something of great value from his school and Ron helped get it back. The head of that school found out and turned the student out because he lost his honor. That guy plotted to kill Ron over that. He used Josh Mankey to break me away from Ron by using drugs and mind control. That's why I'm trying to have the marriage to him annulled.", Kim explained.
"But Josh just emailed me a few weeks ago asking if I knew anything about what you were up to.", Hope confided, "I told him I'd find out. I thought he was just making sure you were alright. I didn't think he could do anything that disgusting."
"I really don't want Josh to know anything about me Hope. Do you know that his family may still think that my children belong to them? That's what they told me after we got married.", while Hope's jaw dropped, Kim continued.
"Do yourself a big favor and stay away from the Mankeys. As Ron always said about people like that 'they are five hundred miles of bad road'. So don't tell that arrogant ass anything about me and my family. If he contacts you again let me know. I still have that restraining order on him and his clan.", Kim responded.
"Oh my God Kim, I was going to let him know how you were doing. I'm glad you told me.", she replied with wide open eyes.
"Don't worry about it Hope. Josh is a smart boy, he'll probably just stay away. If he doesn't Ron will skin him alive and don't think my husband isn't capable of protecting me and my children.", Kim informed her.
"OK I promise Kim. Just think he could have used me to get to you. I'm sorry.", she blurted out, "I'm afraid that he might come after me and why would you be worried about Anna?"
"When we were married the clan told me that my children belonged to them. The Mankeys acted as if my kids were their property.", Kim informed Hope.
"Don't worry about that Hope. I think that I can convince flyboy that it's not in his best interest to harm you.", Tom Wilson reassured her.
"But you don't even know me. Why would you do that?", Hope wondered aloud.
"Because you're a friend of Sergeant and Mrs. Stoppable. I owe the Sergeant, Ma'am. When I got to our unit I just finished Ranger Selection School and I was assigned to his squad."
"He had met me for only a couple of minutes when he invited me on an outing. I was made to feel at home with those guys and they treated me as an equal. For the first time in my life I was part of something bigger and I knew that any one of those guys would take a bullet for me. I found that after a few days that I felt the same way about them.", he informed her.
"OK Mr. Tom the bodyguard, you can pick me up at eight at my parents. Don't be late. I am expecting dinner and a movie. Don't worry about being grilled by my father. He'll be elated that I'm going out on a date around here. It'll give him a faint hope that I'll move home.", the former cheerleader told him.
To Kim she continued, "Make him earn the information Kim. I mean the flowers and what kind of movies I like. I want to see just how resourceful he is."
Hope got up and leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, "You never know, if you pass all the tests tonight it might be one to remember."
"Bye guys, don't stay up waiting for Mr. Wilson tonight.", Hope laughed.
Tom watched the beautiful young woman leave. "What just happened?", he asked.
"You got a date with a real hot woman Tom.", Ron observed, "Not as hot as my wife, but still...uh just how good is your heart?"
"You know how good it is. I uh guess I better buy some slacks and a nice shirt.", he announced.
"Ron you watch Anna and the packages, we have a mission.", she explained pulling Tom out of the Bueno Nacho with a strong tug on his arm and a determined look on her face.
"Sarge?", Wilson gasped with wide eyes finally finding out just how strong the former teen heroine was.
"Hey I can't save you this time bud. You got yourself into this. You can get yourself out of this. I know better than come between KP and shopping for clothes.", Ron laughed as Anna climbed up in his lap, "Come on Anna let's find a cart and move all this stuff out to the van. Mommie might be a while."

Drak-Dem Labs:
"Come on you guys finish loading the hovercar. Shorty and I have a meeting at Global Justice.", Drew Lipsky urged.
"What's going on Sir?", a female technician asked.
"We lost the trail of two people. Now losing the two individuals may not be a bad thing. One of them has a fixation with a certain friend of mine. If she is able to hurt this friend or his family and friends, the world as we know it might cease to exist. That's why we need to look over the surveillance tapes.", the blue scientist explained.
The short former midget-maniac and the blue Drew entered and closed the hatch for the hour long flight to GJ Headquarters.
"Vat do you think ve vind herr Doctor?", Demez asked.
"I have a sneaking suspicion that Shego and her team were all hoodwinked by Amy. We'll know in a few hours.", Drew replied.
Ja herr doctor do zey have good coco moo at der Global Juztize place?", the diminutive one asked.
"That they do, Demez, but I don't think it's as good as mine...but then whose is? You can judge for youselv...I mean yourself when we get there.", he replied. 'He's getting me to sound like him now. Good thing Duff Killigan isn't in our group, that would sound even more strange.'

Remote Idaho:
It was late afternoon when Josh Mankey reentered their new dwelling. He was shivering from the effects of the snow that had worked it's way down his neck. In short he was miserable.
"Honey Bunn I need a whiskey, I almost froze out there.", he told her after he tracked Amy down in her lab.
"Oh I'm sorry my little honey bunny. I'll make you some soup to warm you up then you can have some joy juice.", the older woman giggled.
"How are you doing Amy baby?", Josh asked as he nuzzled her ear from behind.
"Oh honey I have the first specimens in the vat. I should know more in a day or two, but it does look promising.", she replied as she picked the half frozen artist up to give him a hug.
"I thought that you had those machine thingies that made up your little creations fast. Why did you change the way you did things?", Josh asked.
"Well honey bunny. I found for one thing that the intelligence the little guys had was pretty low so I really couldn't expect them to learn and retain more than just simple orders. By taking a slower approach the creations have a much better understanding of what I want from them.", the fat geneticist explained.
"I didn't know it made a difference.", Josh replied.
"Even most of the researchers don't know Joshie. They're governed by morals and ethics. I gave that up many years ago when the Cuddle Buddy Corporation rejected my plan to bring their stuffed plushies to life. Just think of all the money we could have made.", Amy fumed remembering how she was laughed out of the corporate board meeting years before.
"So I began making my own little buddies, only some of them were not so little. Then Kim Possible caught me and they took me away to be examined by their specialists. What they didn't know is that my babies were loyal to me. After only a week or two they busted me out.", thinking fondly of that event.
"After I helped Monty out I knew that I loved him even if Dr. Drakken made a play for my affections. So anyway I'm going to use my little rodent friends and some flying monkeys. I am sending in some giant gorillas to make sure that we get the hands.", she paused.
"The hands are the key, if they belonged to Mr. F then I think that if I make enough of him as clones we'll be able to overcome the buffoon and kill him. Maybe we'll be able to take down his perky little wife and the brat. I'll get a good tissue sample of her and then your family can do what they want with her. If Kimmie and Ronnie are both dead their kid should fade from everyone's mind pretty quickly.", Amy finished her thoughts.
"OK it sounds like the family has some plans for some of Kim's friends. Heck we might get to the top of the gene pool in only a few years.", Josh replied with hope.
"Come on Joshie we have time for a little cuddle before I make dinner.", she whispered huskily as she took him by the hand and led him into their little love nest.

Middleton Mall:
"Well how did it go guys?", Ron asked his wife and the stunned Ranger.
"It was fun.", Kim replied.
"Yeah it was fun Sarge.", Tom shook his head to refocus setting down his packages for a moment.
"We were able to set Tom up using only seven stores.", Kim Stoppable beamed.
"Seven very big stores.", Sergeant Wilson squeaked, "Ah Ron...Was Mrs. Stoppable ever a Drill Sergeant?"
"Maybe in another life, but I'm sure she would have been good at it.", Ron replied as his wife blushed at the compliment, "Anyway while you guys were busy I got the other bags out to the van and I called Becky to let her know that Albert is taking the corporate jet tonight because of the weather."
"Good idea that you remembered Ron. Did you call the crew and let them know that they're flying to Washington tonight?", Kim asked.
"Yes I did boss lady. They have the Gulfstream already fueled and the pilots are just waiting for Bert to call before making their flight plans. I also called Bert...It seems that Wanda was saying goodbye to him and I might have interrupted something.", Ron informed Kim.
"Oh you might want to confirm with Monique that Albert is definitely going to meet with her tomorrow. If I know the Sergeant he'll go over that new Acadia with a fine tooth comb even if it does only have five thousand miles on it."
"I'll call Mo and give her Albert's cell number.", Kim replied, "Anyway we have to stop for candy and flowers. Tom has to make a proper statement to Hope. It seems like she likes what she saw. I've never seen her that in charge."
"Yeah I was wondering too, she was always laid back. Maybe we ought to talk to her later on honey.", he replied as he got Anna up.
"Remember she likes Jessie's Chocolates. Luckily we have one of their stores on the way home. We'll pick up some flowers too.", Kim told him.
"Yes Ma'am. Am I going to have to do this all the time?", Tom asked since he had never really dated.
"No but it's a nice gesture on the first date since you guys are going to do so much tonight. By the way.. Tom do you dance?", Kim asked.
"Not very well.", he replied nervously wondering how deep he was already in.
"Well Hope does and she enjoys it. If you take her out after the movie and dinner then to dance you'll make big points. Since you admit to not being a very good dancer this will let her teach you. I promise if you do you'll have more fun and endear yourself to Hope too.", Kim advised.
"Yes Ma'am, is it this hard to date?", Wilson continued to worry.
"Tom, you have a very nice girl interested in you and you seem to be interested in her. Give it a chance. Trust me she's worth it. She would not have come on to you like she did. She must have felt something.", Kim informed him.
Ron had an idea and got on his cell phone. Ten minutes later he had a big smile on his face making Kim wonder what he'd been up to.
After Tom climbed back into the car he noticed Kim laughing after Ron had whispered into her ear. "OK what kind of joke has been played on me now. Hope doesn't want to go out does she?", he asked.
"Oh not that Tom. This is going to blow Hope's socks off. There's no way she's going to expect this.", Kim chuckled.
"Why what happened?", Tom asked.
"Well Tom it's like this...", Ron began.
A/N: Ah ha so you get a cliffie out of me. Will it be a good one? A bad one? Guess you'll have to wait till next time to find out.
