SPOILERS: None, it's been years since Kim Possible finished, so if you don't know the story by now, why are you reading this?

WARNINGS: If You've ever read any of my stories, you know what to expect, Oral, anal, Femme-slash, dom/sub, multiple partners, and Femme-cest.

AUTHORS NOTES: I've shifted the Kim Possible time-line quite a bit, this story takes place after the Kim Possible finale. Also, Ron and Yori were an established couple (with kinks), so he and Kim didn't get romantically involved. This can be considered an AU sequel to my other story Three Cheer(Leaders) for Ron Stoppable, one where things with Tara don't work out in the end. Also, I mention an organization from the Venture Brothers, and the Hellsing organization but this won't be a crossover with either of the shows.

Ron Stoppable's Apartment

Middleton, Ohio

May 28th, 1998

Ron and Yori were sitting on the couch, the communication screen open on the table in front of them, as Dr Director put up a picture of a girl about their age.

"This is Faith Lehane, the newly called Slayer after the death of Kendra Young at the claws of Drusilla the Mad. Normally, we don't get involved with the Slayer, but there are reasons we need to make an exception in this case. Faith is believed to be making her way to Sunnydale, California to find Buffy Summers, the senior Slayer. It is imperative that she reaches Sunnydale safely, and that is where the two of you come in. We have attempted to contact Faith, but, at the moment she is running scared after the events of the last two weeks. Her Watcher, who had actually taken Faith in as a foster daughter, was brutally murdered by the vampire Kakistos while Faith was helpless to stop it. This happened at the same time that the previous Slayer died, and the powers transfered to Faith, allowing her to escape."

Ron winced, "She's got to be out of her mind and running on sheer terror! I take it that the GJ agents weren't able to get close? She probably took them for police or something, especially since the Boston cops would be looking for her after the woman's death. What do we know about the route she's been following? It would help if we could get ahead of her and make contact in a non-threatening way."

The Director nodded, "Agreed, and from what we've been able to determine, she is heading toward Cleveland, and so far she has been hunting vampires in each place she stops. We don't know if she is driven by the Slayer to seek them out, or if she is seeking some form of vengeance for the loss of her Watcher. We do know that Faith will probably not be very trusting when you make contact. Her background was, to put it mildly, difficult. Her father died in prison while serving a sentence for armed robbery, her mother was an alcoholic prostitute who often brought her clients home, where Faith was exposed to their activities from a very young age. The mother was killed by one of the men, and Faith ended up in the foster care system at the age of nine. I'm sure you understand the sort of emotional difficulties that sort of background can cause, and they were made worse by some of the foster homes she was placed in, until Doctor Diana Dormer took her in three years ago, when Faith was 13 years old."

Yori frowned, "She's only 16? And making her way across the country on her own? She must be fairly resourceful to be able to avoid the predators that prey on young girls. Are there any plans to give the girl the help she needs, besides the two of us helping her reach Sunnydale?"

"Yori raises a very good point, Director, the two of us are more than capable of helping her physically, but neither of us have either the training or experience to help her with the emotional issues Faith will be dealing with. Honestly, what it seems she needs the most is some form of stability in her life, because without something to build on, all the therapy in the world won't help her."

Doctor Director gave the two of them a smile, "I'm glad you asked that, because our medical staff agree with you. This is going to be a long term assignment for both of you once you arrive in Sunnydale. If you accept this assignment, your enrollments at USC Berkley will be transferred to USC Sunnydale. And, before you say anything, we will also offer Miss Matthews the ability to transfer as well." Ron and Yori shared a glance, and the Director laughed, seemingly amused, "Honestly you two! Did you think we weren't aware of your relationship with Paige? Once it became clear that a relationship was developing, we investigated the young woman, because we couldn't take the chance that she was a plant from the Guild of Calamitous Intent or one of the other organizations of that nature. She is clean, by the way, although I imagine she will really be shocked when she finds out who her half-sisters are!"

Her smiled dropped, and she continued, "If things develop that the three of you form a connection, we will consider recruiting her to join your Team, Agent Stoppable, but that is a concern for the future. I do recommend the two of you be as honest as possible, within limits of security, with Faith. I'm sure you recognize the damage that could be done if you mislead or deceive her, and she finds out."

Ron waved that off, "Not an issue, Director. But, what will Yori and I be doing while we are in Sunnydale? Neither of us are really cut out for a quiet scholastic life." Yori nodded beside him, and he reached over to squeeze her hand affectionately.

The Director pulled up another picture. "This is Richard Wilkins, the Third, current Mayor of Sunnydale. Interestingly enough," she put up another picture, of the same man, but dressed in clothing from the 1950's, "this is Richard Wilkins, the Second, the prior Mayor of Sunnydale, and this," another picture, of the same man dressed in turn of the century clothing, "is Richard Wilkins, the First. The original Mayor of Sunnydale when it incorporated in 1898. The current Mayor is supposedly the grandson of the original, but there are no records of birth for either Richard the Second, or Richard the Third, and no dates of death for Richard the First or Second. There are also no records of any elections since 1898, which, if nothing else, is a violation of several federal statutes. The two of you will be investigating Mayor Wilkins, along with assisting Faith. If possible, it would be helpful for you to try and integrate with the senior Slayer and her team in Sunnydale."

"We can do that, and it does sound interesting, but, as for anything developing with Faith, we'll have to play it by ear. If you investigated Paige, then you know it took a lot of very serious discussions and thinking before the three of us decided to move things deeper. We're not going to seduce this girl just because you and Global Justice are interested in her for whatever reason!" Ron looked directly at the older woman on the screen, and she looked down, giving a sigh. When the Director spoke again, it was in a softer voice, and she actually had tears welling up in her eyes!

"Believe it or not, Ron, my interest in Faith is actually benign, I discovered several months ago that my sister's daughter, who was given up for adoption when my sister died, was Faith's mother. I had no idea that my sister was even pregnant, we hadn't spoken for years before I found out she had died. I've been searching for Faith since I found out about her mother, but when I located her she was settling in with Doctor Dormer, who was taking good care of her, and I wasn't about to uproot her. I'd been trying to work up the nerve to approach the two of them and introduce myself, when they were taken by Kakistos, and by the time we found out where they were, Faith had escaped. I don't want you telling her any of that when you meet her, unless she directly asks you why I'm interested. I'd rather tell her myself, but I won't have you lie to her, am I understood?"

Yori steered the conversation to safer areas by asking about housing and income while they were in Sunnydale, and Doctor Director shot her a grateful look before providing the information. They also went over the information that was available about Faith's activities while she was on the road, and each of the cemeteries in Cleveland would be placed under observation. They would be alerted if she was spotted and taken to where she was.

It was an hour later before the call ended, and Ron and Yori knew that had a long conversation ahead of them. Neither of them were happy at the implied message that the two of them bring Faith into their lives. It hadn't been comfortable for either of them to realize they wanted Paige in their lives as more than just a lover. It was part of the reason that Tara hadn't lasted, she just wasn't right for them, other than as a playmate, and their lives were too dangerous to bring somebody who wasn't completely right into it.

Peaceful Rest Cemetery

Cleveland, Ohio

May 30th, 1998

11:00 pm

Faith tried to stifle a yawn as she prowled through the graveyard. There had been a couple of mysterious animal attack victims who had been buried here earlier, and she wanted to make sure they stayed buried. If she was lucky, the sire would be there to welcome them, and she could get some cash before they got dusted. She hadn't realized just how expensive it could be, traveling across country, especially when you are only 16 years old and don't want people taking too close a look at why you are so far from Boston.

It was hard to believe that everything had gone to shit so fast. She and Doctor D had a good thing going, she'd even made friends at the local high school, people who didn't automatically look down on her for being a foster kid, or a whore's daughter. Or worse, expect her to put out just because her mom didn't have any other way of earning money. Sure, she didn't have any problems with a good fuck, but she chose who and where she dropped her drawers, not anybody else! She'd actually hurt the asshole jocks that tried to force her into the locker room, and was still shocked that the school punished the jocks and not her!

But it all went bad in minutes because of that damned vamp! He'd sent dozens of them to capture her and the Doc, and the two of them had done their best, but... and then the pain, and hearing the Doc screaming as they tore her apart... The sudden power, too late to help the Doc, but she dusted the ones that hurt her before she jumped through the boarded up window. And then, running, running for her life in blind terror. She still had no idea how she'd managed to get back to the apartment and grab some of her gear, but she did. The Doc had talked about Buffy Summers in Sunnydale, and how she'd lasted longer than any slayer in years, and Faith held onto that idea, that if she could get to Sunnydale, Buffy could help her with Kakistos, because she knew he was tracking her, and would want to do to her what he did the Doc, and she'd kill herself before she let that happen!

The sounds of fighting up ahead got her attention, and she grinned, pulling her stake as she rushed forward, following the sounds. It took her less than a minute to reach the sounds of fighting, and she froze in shock at what she was seeing! There were six vamps trying to attack a guy and a girl, but the two of them were holding their own. The girl had a decent length sword in her hands, and she looked like she was dancing through the attacking vamps. Faith didn't know what that blade was made of, but it must be hella sharp, it actually cut the legs off a vampire with one stroke! Which explained the legless bodies rolling around on the ground as they tried to crawl away. But it was the guy who really got her attention, he was glowing freakin blue! He was glowing, and beating the shit out of the vamps with his bare hands, she actually saw him break the neck of two of them with his fists! What the fuck, over?

Faith watched for a few seconds, and when it was obvious they didn't need her help, she started lifting the wallets from the legless vamps before staking them. The guy dropped the last of the vampires and looked over at her, the blue glow fading. The girl finished with her vamp about the same time, and gave a laugh, "That was fun, lover! We should find some more before we leave."

Faith stared at the girl for a second, trying to figure out the accent, because it sounded oriental, but she had no idea where from, before turning back to the guy. Now that the blue glow was gone and she got a good look at him, he was about her age, give or take a couple of years, kind of goofy looking, but decent enough anyway. He smiled at her, but then her blood turned to ice water when he said, "Hi Faith, I'm Ron and this is my girlfriend Yori, we've been sent to help you get to Sunnydale. You might as well finish grabbing what you need from the vampires, they're going to be dust in a few minutes anyway."

She stumbled back in shock, they knew who she was! How did they find her? They couldn't be from Kakistos, he didn't use humans, and the two of them didn't feel like demons! She fought against the panic that welled up inside her, looking around feverishly for a way to escape, but she couldn't move, all she could do was stare at him, and she was having a hard time breathing, what, what was happening, she couldn't move, she had to get away, but why couldn't she breathe, no no no, gotta get away... Her thoughts were circling around in her brain and she opened her mouth but she couldn't talk, she was trying to get a breath, but nothing was happening and she was feeling lightheaded... things were going dim, until suddenly the guy was in front of her, holding a paper bag open in front of her mouth, and he was telling her to breathe, and she did, hands on her back, rubbing her back, soothing her, and she could feel herself calming down, she could breathe again, and the bag came away from her face.

He was looking at her with a soft smile, but understanding in his eyes, as he said, "It's okay Faith, we really are here to help you get to California. We aren't working for Kakistos, in fact, we're fighting against things like him. Will you walk with us to my car? I promise you that we'll explain what's going on, and then we can hit a Denny's for dinner."

While he was talking, the girl, Yori? Had grabbed the wallets and other cash from the disabled vamps before taking their heads off with her sword, and Faith was really impressed with that sword! She walked over and handed a bag full of the wallets to her. "Here you go, Faith, we don't need it and you do. But, will you walk with us? Ron and I don't mean you any harm at all, I swear on my honor."

'Honor? That's a weird way of putting it,' Faith thought, but she nodded, reaching out for the bag. Stuffing it into her backpack, she said, "Okay, I'm willing to listen, but don't try to bullshit me, okay? I think you're trying to play me, I'm out of here!"

Ron gave her a grin and said, "Not going to try and bullshit you, but there are a couple of things we can't tell you yet, for security reasons, which you'll understand in a few minutes. First off, Yori and I work for an organization called Global Justice, but don't worry if you haven't heard of us, that's the way we like it. We generally don't get involved with the supernatural side of things, we usually fight the run of the mill terrorists and criminals. But, for a couple of reasons, you caught the attention of our Director, and she asked us to help you get to Sunnydale, because that is where Yori and I are being assigned. There is something extremely strange about that town, and the Mayor, and we're going to be investigating it. Before you ask how I know you are heading to Sunnydale, it's obvious, the senior Slayer, Buffy Summers is there. Just because don't get involved with the supernatural side, that's because there are several organizations, besides the Watchers Council, that do a good enough job that we don't have to interfere. As for why you caught the attention of the Director, I think it was because you have the traits that GJ looks for in possible recruits, the high intelligence, along with a great deal of 'street smarts' and your athletic ability is an excellent combination. She didn't know you were a potential Slayer at the time, but when she looked at Doctor Dormer she figured it out. But, and again, this is just speculation on my part, the Director may have decided to keep an eye on you, because if you weren't called by your 18th birthday, the odds were you never would be, and she could arrange a recruitment contact."

"If she was keeping an eye on me, then why didn't somebody come and help us when Kakistos had us captured?" Faith asked, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, this all powerful organization - where the fuck were they when she and the Doc needed them?

Ron grimaced, "We didn't find out until after it happened. The agent who was watching you got killed by the same vampires that captured you, he wasn't able to get the word out, and it wasn't until the next morning, when he didn't report in, that the alarm went up. Incidentally, we called in the Hellsing organization and retrieved Doctor Dormer's remains. At the same time, they destroyed Kakistos and ground his bones to ash. The ash was mixed with Holy Water and flushed down the nearest church toilet from what I understand."

Faith's jaw dropped, they actually got the Doc out of there? And Kakistos is toast? She couldn't help it, her eyes filled up with tears, and she was kneeling on the ground, bawling her eyes out, pound the ground with her fists as she let everything go, from that first horrible realization that they were caught, through the terror and the running, and she kept crying until she didn't have anything left. Yori and Ron were kneeling on either side of her, and Yori had her hands on her back, holding her, until all that was left was dry sobs. Even those ended eventually, and she looked up at them, embarrassed. Ron just handed her a clean snot rag, and she wiped her eyes and nose. "I'm sorry we weren't able to stop what happened to Doctor Dormer, Faith, but at least she can rest easy now, you're safe, and the demon that killed her is back in hell where he belongs." Ron said softly, as he gave her his hand and helped her to her feet. Yori stood up as well, and gave her a quick hug, not saying anything, but sometimes you don't need words.

She wanted to make a smart comment, to hide how she was feeling, but the words wouldn't come. Eventually she just cleared her throat and said, "You said something about Denny's?"

He chuckled, "Yeah, I think we can all eat, it's been a long day."

Denny's Restaurant

West 150th Street

Cleveland, Ohio

Twenty Minutes Later

Ron had taken Faith's drink order, he already knew what she liked so he didn't have to ask, and waited for a table to open while she took Faith into the ladies room to clean up and fix her face. At least, that was the excuse he gave, but she knew it was to give Faith a chance to talk to another girl, in case there was something she didn't want to say in front of Ron. And it turns out there was, but Yori was surprised at the subject Faith wanted to discuss.

After the younger girl had washed her face and redid her makeup, she looked up at Yori in the mirror's reflection and said, "What's up with Ron glowing blue and turning into Chuck Norris out there? I've seen a lot of guys who were martial artists, but nothing like what he was doing."

Yori blinked, that wasn't the subject she was expecting, but gave Faith an abbreviated version of how Ron had gotten the Monkey Power, and a couple of the times he'd had to use it. That led to telling Faith how she and Ron had met, when she was assigned to show him around for Master Sensei, and some of the fights they'd been involved in together. Of course, she also told Faith about a couple of times that Paige had gotten involved with their adventures. She wasn't sure if anything was going to develop between the three of them, no matter what Dr Director had hinted, but if anything was going to happen, Faith needed to know the score right from the beginning. Yori was sure that Faith was aware enough to pick up on things without needing them spelled out.

With the next words out of her mouth, Faith proved her right, "So, who's this Paige girl? Is she somebody else the two of you work with?"

Yori chuckled, "No, actually Paige is our lover, has been for a couple of years. We met her in Tokyo not long after Ron and I got together, and I told him that I was curious about being with a girl. We were going to hire a girl for the night, but ended up meeting Paige at a club in the city. That was one interesting weekend! It was the first time I had sex with a girl, and let Ron have my ass. I loved all of it! It's a good thing that Ron keeps up his fitness training, or he'd never be able to take care of us."

Faith smirked, "Really, sounds like Boy-Toy's got some mad skills, besides the Monkey thing. Although, it does make me wonder about the expression 'wild monkey sex' I heard a couple of guys using back in Southie."

"Just so you know, Faith, if you're ever interested in finding out for yourself," Yori said, moving to stand next to the girl, "If you play with Ron, you play with me as well. I'm saying that anything is going to happen, not right away, but we're going to be spending a lot of time together on the way to California, and even when we get to Sunnydale, because there's a room for you in the house we're renting. But, if you decide at some point you want to find out why I'm smiling all the time, you need to know what the rules are."

Faith actually blushed, before she smiled, "I'll keep that in mind, never had a problem with being with a girl, but I ain't too sure about letting him knock on the back door. Always heard that was wicked painful!"

Yori shrugged, "I never found it uncomfortable, but Paige taught Ron how to get her prepared the first time, and he did the same to me after I washed him, and none of the other girls have ever complained about it hurting."

The younger girl stared at her, "Other girls? How the hell many girls are you two fuckin?"

"Right now, just Paige on a regular basis. Most of the others are just for a night or weekend of fun. There was a girl who was with us for a couple of months, but she couldn't handle the trouble with have to deal with. It's too bad, she's a sweet girl, she just had too much of a streak of conventional in her." Pushing herself away from the wall, Yori said, "So, are you ready to get something to eat, or do you have any other questions I can answer?"

The growling of Faith's stomach answered that question and with a shamefaced grin, she headed to the door.

OTWTS & OTWTS & OTWTS

Ron looked up with a smile when the two of them made it to the table, and then he did something Faith wasn't expecting. He stood up and held out Yori's chair, and then hers. She didn't know people actually did crap like that outside of the old movies, but apparently she was wrong. Ron handed her a menu and said, "Order as much as you like, Faith, it's work related, so it's on the expense account!"

'Expense account? What the fuck? Is this for real?' she thought, but didn't say anything, the items on the menu all looked too good to care about how it was getting paid for. Hell, she had more than enough in her pack after Yori gathered those wallets to be able to buy one of everything anyway. When she made her decision and gave the waitress her order, she sat back and said, "So how did you get hooked up in this crazy life, Ron? You aren't that much older than I am, did you get recruited while you were in school?"

Ron grinned, "No, not exactly. You see, I'm best friends, and just friends, with this girl named Kim, we've been friends for years, and the two of us ended up getting into the wildest scrapes, and a couple of them we ended up landing in the middle of GJ operations. I think they decided to recruit us and give us training so we would stay out of their way! Didn't work out the way they expected, though. The two of us are one of their more effective teams. But, Kim is going back east to one of the Ivy's for college, and Yori and I are going to California for school. That was the reason, besides the fact that we're a couple and don't take solo missions if it's not urgent, that the two of us were asked to meet up with you."

By the time Ron finished telling stories of he and Kim, and having her and Yori in tears of laughter at a few of them, their food was there, and eating took a backseat to story time. Faith was surprised that Ron was eating just as much as she was, but at least his manners were decent. She supposed he would need to eat high energy foods if he and Yori were going at it all the time. She had been mostly teasing Yori earlier, but, watching the two of them, she had to wonder what it would be like to be with them, not tonight though, she was way too tired and dirty to even think about getting nasty. But it's still a good two or three days drive to SunnyD, who knows what can happen? She had pretty much decided to go with them, it would feel good to be able to relax a little bit, and not have to worry about being jumped when she tried to catch an empty boxcar going passed.

Faith had to admit, a full stomach was a good feeling after the last couple of weeks, although she wasn't able to finish her ice cream, but that's okay. She was just so relaxed that she could sleep for a week. She was trying to stay awake, but the stress of everything was just too much, and she was nodding off in her seat. Fortunately, Ron noticed, and they paid the bill and headed to the car. She actually fell asleep in the car, only to jerk awake when the car stopped a little while later. Faith barely remembered following the two of them into the hotel room, she just stumbled to the bed and managed to get her boots off before falling back, asleep before she hit the pillow.

It was a few hours later that she woke up with a start, only to find that she was undressed, and wearing a large t-shirt and her panties. She wondered who had changed her clothes, and hoped it was Yori, because if a guy took her clothes off, she wanted to be awake to either enjoy it, or kick his ass if she didn't want to take her clothes off. She heard a noise from the other bed, and could vaguely make out the two of them moving, and rolled over to try and sleep again, they were too busy to answer questions anyway.

Faith was wondering how they managed to stay so quiet when she fell back to sleep, and for the first time since that night, didn't have any nightmares.
