Chapter Ten: "Anything's Possible for a Possible."
Veronica tried to soothe Kim's worries. "Look. Your dad let me stay with you guys when my head got put on backwards. He'll be ok with this." She told the scared strawberry brunette.
"You don't understand." Kim said as she turned and looked Veronica in the eyes.
"Dad has a WORKING black hole generator buried in the garage!" Kim shivered. "He'll use it on you when he sees…" Kim trailed off suddenly.
"What is it, Princess?"
Kim's eyes lit up. "Jasmine! That's what we'll…"
Veronica smirked. "You got our daughter's name when I called you 'Princess', and that's the first one that comes to mind?"
Kim shrugged. "She's badass in her own way." Kim responded calmly.
As soon as Jasmine made it inside, the young girl made a B-line for the fridge and started to eat like the Tasmanian Devil. Kim felt a pang of sadness and anger as she watched the girl eat. Drakken was not going to like Kim the next time they met.
When the girl finally started to slow down, she looked at Veronica and smiled. The woman smiled back and opened her arms.
"Come on. You don't have to be afraid anymore."
Jasmine smiled and looked at her new family with tears in her eyes. Fear seemed to melt away in an instant as Jasmine latched onto Veronica.
Kim smiled at this and said, "You need to get to bed. It's getting late."
The girl nodded and looked around. Then, she started to shake. "There's no place for me to sleep."
Veronica sighed. "Jasmine's right."
Kim laughed. "No big. I have plenty of room."
Jasmine was about to squeal in delight when Kim put a finger to her lips and motioned for the girl to be quiet.
"We don't want to wake your Grandparents." Kim shook her head as the three of them walked back to the bedrooms. That's a majorly weird sentence. Kim mused before she tucked Jasmine in and got in on the other side of the bed.
"Good night, Mommy."
Kim smiled and gently pulled the covers over the girl and herself. "Good night, Sweetie."
As Veronica slept, she saw Drakken actually appear to succeed in his plans for world domination through that horrible Mexican restaurant where the Buffoon liked to dine regularly. Somehow, Drakken made giant robots out of kiddie toys the restaurant sold with its food.
"What the Hell has Drakken done this time?" Veronica mumbled as she looked at the destruction around her. Instead of making the antihero happy, she felt pain throb in her chest at the sight. "Drakken, call off the robots now!" Veronica growled as her fists ignited in warning.
Drakken seemed confused by Veronica's threat. "Shego, we are this close to realizing my dream of world domination…" He bent his pointer finger and thumb so that they were almost touching. "…and you pick now of all times to go on conscience?" He asked, confused and angry.
Drakken turned and smiled darkly. Veronica followed the madman's gaze and froze. In the path of a robot's pincer stood Jasmine. She saw the arm coming at her but didn't move an inch. At the last moment, Kim showed up. The Teen Who Could Do Anything grunted as her muscles strained against the machine.
"Anything's possible for a Possible." Kim growled out as Jasmine ran out of the path of the arm.
Veronica jumped down to Kim's aid and started to run toward the superspy in a panic. Too late, she arrived. Kim's arms finally stopped, and the giant pincer turned Kim to pulp. "No!"
Veronica woke up and sat bolt upright in bed. "K-Kimmie, no…" Veronica managed to squeak out before sobs took hold of the woman.
Kim heard Veronica crying from across the hall and quietly slipped out of bed to not wake Jasmine. Kim made it to Veronica's bedside and looked at her girlfriend in worry. Veronica never cries. This must be serious. Kim surmised as she gently kissed Veronica's lips. "I'm here and will always be here." Kim vowed, every word overloaded with meaning as Kim spoke them.
Veronica finally found herself a few moments later. "Kim, you died trying to save Jasmine from Drakken's latest plot." The antihero's lips trembled as she spoke. "Before you died, you said your family motto."
Kim smiled softly at that and held her lover a little tighter.
"You held back the arm as you said, 'Anything's possible for a Possible.' Kimberly Ann Possible…"
Kim blinked in shock at hearing Veronica use her full name.
"I want to be able to do anything, and I know I can with you by my side." Veronica gripped Kim's hands tightly in her own, and the couple locked eyes. "May I take your name for the rest of my life?" It took a moment for Kim to process Veronica's words. The teen's emerald eyes widened. "Veronica…I…" The antihero's face fell. "YES!" Kim shouted as she hugged Veronica tight.
"Knock, knock..." Mr. Possible said with a glare as he stepped into the room. "What's going on here?!" Kim wanted to slap her father for ruining a grand moment. Then, she realized what her dad was probably angry about and blushed scarlet. Between the loud cries and Kim's yell, it wasn't hard to figure out what James Possible thought he heard.
"Dad, I can explain…" Kim said as she held her hands up slowly.
James nodded, and Kim began to recount the night.
She was about to wrap up when Jasmine gently pushed past the man and said, "Mommy, I had a nightmare."
Kim brought the girl close, kissed her forehead, told the girl she was ok, and smiled. "Dad, meet your granddaughter, Jasmine Possible."
