Thanks to Wispr for reviewing.
By the way, it's Mercy, not Marcy. You misspelled it on the review lol.
…and they drove off, leaving only a piece of paper on the ground.
Without the balance he got from years of martial arts, Monkey Fist would have fallen when he landed. Lucky for him, thanks to training, he was like a cat more than a monkey. Landing on his feet, he looked down at the piece of paper. It fluttered down gracefully despite being dropped in such an ungraceful manner.
With confusion in his eyes, he bent over and grabbed it. "Mercy, meet us in the warehouse at midnight." He read what was written, frowning instantly. This was from the mob? Oh dear…
The door to the Possible home was thrown open.
Out came a running Ron, Kim, and Mercy. He turned to face them, note in hand, only to be tackled by the blond girl. "Oomph!" He winced, trying not to fall over.
"Oh my gosh, Monty you had me terrified! Are you hurt? Did they hit you?!" She almost shouted in his ear. In her hurry, she had forgotten to wear her gloves and glasses, showing her burnt flesh.
"No, no, I'm fine. They just hit the window, it would appear." He answered while attempting to exam the shattered window from afar. Holding her in his arms, he glanced at the little white 'x' on her cheek and kissed it suddenly, making Ron trip over his foot and slam face first into the pavement.
"What was that?!" Stoppable screamed almost on the top of his lungs. If the gun shots didn't bring out the neighbors, that surely would.
Without answering, they all scuttled back into the house. In Monty's hand was the piece of paper from the mob. Something told him though that he should hide it, that Mercy hadn't said much about the mob to her friends for a reason. Stuffing it into his pocket, he was pelted with questions.
"Why did you kiss her? Who was that? Who shot at us? What happened?" Ron asked, repeated by Kim. All three teens looked, in short, very tired and out of it. Both Stoppable and Possible were even swaying as they stood but Monty suspected if they sat down, they would fall asleep.
Shego had her arm around Kim, touching her arm that was farthest from the green wearing woman. Although she herself had given Kim much more than bullets to dodge and worry about, the teenager looked a little weary. She had faced Doomsday devices, alien technology, plasma covered women such as her lover, lasers, guns…even melted cheese. Still, she was prepared for it, expecting it.
This time in the midst of a sleep over, she wasn't and that was what scared her.
Bullets went through her home, her home! It didn't get any more personal than that. Not to mention, it was meant for her old friend. Was she not supposed to be Kim Possible, the girl who could do anything and save anyone? And here she was, unable to save even her own friend!
"It was the mob." Monkey Fist confirmed what they already suspected and knew. Hearing it said out loud and thinking it were far two different things. The difference, or at least one of them, was fear. It was one thing to think about the monster in the bed with gave you anxiety but when you actually said it out loud and heard a thump in response, which was when real fear took over.
Mercy's grip on his hand was as tight as the rope name the Englishman was named after. She had glanced down at his pocket which made the monkey lover wonder if she saw him stuff the paper in there. If she did, she didn't let on. "Kim, I'm so sorry I got your window trashed because of me."
"It's nothing to worry about." The red head quickly replied, waving her hand as if swatting gnats away. "Really; that was why we got bullet resistant windows. We suspected one day one of my enemies might try something…thank goodness we did." It was clear that she was imagining what would have happened if they didn't.
"Why did you kiss her?" Ron found his voice once again. Although he seemed less hysterical, he still looked shocked. In fact, he looked floored.
They looked at each other for a long moment.
Finally, Mercy looked at the young lad and inhaled slowly. "Well…to be honest…Ron, Monty and I are a couple."
"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo," Ron inhaled briefly before continuing, "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
He had fallen to his knees with his fists raised in the air, obviously a dramatic gesture. Sadly thanks to his frog covered PJs; it wasn't as dramatic as he wanted it to be. Finally his chocolate brown eyes opened and looked at Shego who quickly pulled away from Kim.
"…Why were you just touching her?" His eyes narrowed as he slowly stood. No longer was his distraught about Mercy or her lover. This made both teenage girls wince inwardly; if his reaction had been that bad to hearing the monkey loving man had scored, what would happen once he realized the truth? What would he do, how would he feel or react, to the knowledge of Kim and Shego being together?
Mercy tugged on Fiske's hand and pulled him away. Grabbing the paper from his pocket once they slipped outside, she read it. "…Are you…can you come with me? To settle this?" She looked up shyly, fear sparkling in hr eyes. "I don't think I could handle any of them without you."
Monkey Fist leaned forward and kissed her on the lips softly, pausing to slide his tongue in. "I'm your body guard and boyfriend, am I not?" He whispered with a small grin.
Next chapter: Showdown of the mob; Ron questions Kim and Shego…will he find out the truth? Review please!
