Well then I looked up the tri-city areas and realized I've been spelling them wrong Middleton, Lowerton, and Upperton.
Chapter 18: Caught
Ron was not having a good time. Sheila had immediately locked him out of the bathroom despite her body language saying he would be allowed in. He was also sitting across from the last person he wanted to be when his super villian girlfriend was showering upstairs.
The Director of Global Justice Betty was sitting on his couch cross legged skimming through the file on Jackie.
" You breaking into my house aside, what exactly are you doing here? How do you even know I was here"?
"I knew you was here because you was nowhere to be found in the school and I would love to know why you and Kimberly decided to leave while the school was in lockdown".
"That was like ten minutes ago, how the hell"?
"Ten minutes? We searched for you both for an hour".
"Oh well then I took a harder punch than I thought the time simply flew by".
'I was in that nightmare for almost an hour…'
"An excellent segway to why I'm here Ronald. Would you explain exactly why Jackie went after you and how you managed to beat him and claim his amulet . I'm not dumb Ronald and I will be disciplining those agents you lied to saying it was a fake Jackie tricked you with".
" Still can't believe the elite agents believed that. Alright Betty…"
"Director"
"Betty"
"Director"
" Betty"
"You've grown disrespectful after your time in that hole"
" You've grown rather disrespectful as well. I'm trying to answer your question you asked me after breaking into my home for no reason and you keep interrupting Betty".
"Your really working my nerves with that smart ass mouth Ron…"
" Oh boo hoo your feelings are hurt. I help save the world damn near everyday against bigger threats than a midget with a god complex. You'd know that if you didn't sit on your ass waiting for us to make a call so you can clean up. So thanks janitor for coming in here uninvited and definitely welcomed questioning me for doing your job. Please tell me how exactly did Jackie get into your highly guarded facility and make his way out with that amulet to come and fight me Director".
Betty was angry but lost for words. She couldn't say anything. This wasn't one of her employees even if she wished he was. Despite what everyone believed Betty wanted Ron more than Kim. He was nearly a perfect agent before the necessary training. Who would be a better secret agent than the boy no one could remember? He was a world saving teenager. He should be fluided in clothing brand deals and sports brands but if you didn't constantly be near him you'd never remember who he is. Betty even found herself forgetting constantly having to look through the Ron factor files to remember him. It got to the point where it was the first thing to come up in the database when searching for any of his files. Kim would be an excellent agent to send in extraction and arrest and was a good candidate to be the next director but she was nowhere near Ron's seemingly natural ability to be forgotten. He could be used over and over even on the same target as they wouldn't notice him or forget in a day or two.
" FINE ". Betty had to take a deep breath. Ron had hit a sore sport for her in the fact she was stuck behind a desk doing paperwork and not on the field like she used to be with her partner Barkin. They both were soldiers before joining GJ thanks to their performance. Betty believed herself to be better fit for the field but she couldn't allow what happened to her to ever happen again.
"I… apologize. We both know you can handle yourself against danger but Jackie with that amulet is far more dangerous than Shego let alone anyone else. See this as me trying to understand just in case he gets his hand on it again from us".
"Your never getting this from me. You let one of the most powerful items in the world just get stolen right from under your nose. I'm not saying it's safe with me either but atleast I won't let the only person who knows how to use it get it again… As for how I beat him. I couldn't fight him or take a hit so I did the next best thing. I stroked his ego. He has a god complex and believed himself better than everyone. So I challenged him in games I couldn't win til he let his guard down. Arm wrestling, darts, mountain climbing, and finally when I got him who could pick up the other. His head was so far up his own ass he didn't think I could reach his neck when he was twelve feet tall. I grabbed the necklace off him then knocked him out when he was human again".
"He actually bought you would challenge him in all of that"?
"Well his breath was kind of bad did you guys keep tabs on him"?
"... Yes he was a raging alcoholic with a drug addiction. Now your telling me that the drunk made the impossible journey from lowertown to outside the tri-city on a nearly three hundred mile journey just to lose to you in a bunch of games. You've gotten better at lying Ronald but your nowhere close to getting past me. We found the abandoned arena Ronald their was scratch marks everywhere and it looked like someone burned any blood that was left behind. We also found a bunch of food reporting missing laid out with very large craters. The various holes and damage seemed like whoever was fighting Jackie didn't just have an arm wrestling match. I want to know what happened or are you gonna tell me with his massive ego and god complex he'd allow his face to be slid across a wall.
It was Ron's turn to have nothing to refute Betty. He couldn't comprehend how GJ not only found him and Kim missing and found the battle ground. Betty smirked at Ron she hadn't even brought out her ace in the hole and she already had the young man backed into a corner.
Tsk oh well the jig is up. Truth is I stole the way to use the necklace back when he first transformed. I wanted to get my hands on it just in case. You know how it is with the people we go up against. I didn't feel safe after that. It was one of the first times I felt like me and KP couldn't do anything. T-that if we weren't so lucky we'd both die. I mean you understand right? We literally had to fight someone that could throw us across the room with their mind and fly".
"Thank you for being honest Ron, I'm expecting a full copy of the methods on my desk by tomorrow".
" No can do Betty, I'm keeping the amulet. It's mine you're welcome to try and take it but it won't work".
"I won't try, I already know it won't work. If I was to attack you Shego would turn that corner and kill me".
Ron's eyes widened large and so did Sheila who was listening from the stairway. Sheila came out from hiding hands lit glaring at the smiling woman.
"Hey now if I wanted to fight you'd be surrounded by now. I just want to have a chat with the both of you".
"How the hell do you know I was there".
"I know a lot Shego like how you've for the most part been staying out of trouble...for the most part. You're not usually one to wait in line so I imagine you shoplifted since you found out Ron was in trouble. Shego staying out of trouble is a huge load off our back so I found no reason to stop whatever is going on here. In fact I've hidden it from practically everyone. Having Shego not putting our operatives in the hospital every other week and cutting down on plasma resistant armor is going to cut our expected finances by seven figures. It's even higher than the bounty on your head".
"How did you know that was me? I was in disguise, a much better one than usual".
"Oh your disguise was perfect I would never have known it was you. Too bad we put a tracker on your hovercraft while you was trapped in the hole. You've been a very busy woman camped out at a teenagers house. We wouldn't have known about a lot of things going on if it wasn't… is that our tracker"?
"Yes it is".
" Sigh I'll let it slide I was going to deactivate it. I don't really care what you two have going on. Friends with benefits or a couple I don't care. What I do care about is Shego staying out of trouble. As long as Shego stays out of trouble and you go to school Ron you're free to do as you please in Middleton. Shegos not allowed in Upperton and Ron you're not allowed in Lowerton unless it's mission related".
"Are those the names of tri-city? Theirs no way I've been saying them wrong my entire life. I have property in two of them".
"Exactly why you need to stay in school". Shego and Betty both looked at each other slightly weirded out; they both said the same thing at the same time.
"I thought it was town at the end of them".
"It's called the tri-city area, why would they be called towns"?
"... we're just gonna not talk about it".
"It's ok you're cute and blond you don't need a brain".
"I'm gonna just take that as a compliment".
Betty would be lying if she wasn't somewhat amused seeing the couple bicker at each other while seemingly forgetting she was here. Instead of ruining the moment Betty got up intending to leave.
"Well this was a good chat. Your school will be on lockdown for the rest of the week of course it's all going to be given out as homework. See this as an extension of goodwill taking our biggest headache away".
"Oh wait before you go could you call back that Flynn Ignition Cognito what his name is back. Guy is really starting to creep all of us out ".
Betty couldn't believe her ears. Her brain couldn't process what was said either as she tripped over nothing and landed face first in front of Sheila. Once it registered what Ron had just said Betty jumped up looking at Ron like he grew a second head.
"You know about Flynn… you know Flynns name? How"!?!?
"Woah there calm down. I know Flynn is there because the woman that used to be my neighbor suddenly sold her family house right after the Ron factor was being studied. She'd been hounded for awhile for that house and never broke. Then suddenly she's gone in a day moving to Las Vegas and a creeping looking guy moves in and never leaves until me and KP leaves. Oh and Gemini told me his name".
"God damn it I'm gonna skin that one eyed freak. Stupid peice of shit always gotta…"
Ron and Sheila watched on shocked as Betty went off about her brother. Ron knew they weren't the most mature around each other even having to admit his old self was a bit more mature but he'd never seen Betty as anything but the cool, calm, and collected type of leader yet here she was in his living room having a bloody nose from her fall and going off about her brother who couldn't even hear her. Sheila couldn't help but facepalm this was the leader of GJ. It was hard thinking about how hard of a time she had breaking out the first time. It of course got so easy she could do it in her sleep but that first time was a very painful experience.
Betty caught herself right after she ranted about how Gemini used to eat her crayons just so she'd fail art class. She tried to hide her blush as she coughed and made the quickest dash for the door escaping through it while slamming it close. The woman seemingly disappeared after she went out but to Ron her movements was clear. Ron could see her going through a tube that he would make a point to destroy. GJ had a tube going from his door mate that somehow he never noticed looking at Sheila from the other side of the world. Looking over your saw one at Kim's house too more than likely to grab them up as soon as they left their house for a mission.
Ron watched Betty make her way underground til she reached a elevator that lead right into his 'neighbors house. Ron was so occupied watching he didn't notice his surroundings but Sheila did. Ron came around once a cry rang out. Ron dropped his sight to see Sheila had pinned down a ninja and had a tight grip on their throat as she held them in the air. Ron didn't immediately ask to let the ninja go. Who knows why they just suddenly made themselves known or if they were friendly or not.
" Are you enjoying your vacation"?
"Gahck I-I enjoyed stealing peaches".
" Let them go Shego, they're friendly".
Sheila dropped the ninja who coughed madly as they tried to breath properly. The ninja took of their mask bowing deeply towards once her breathing got to a acceptable level.
' I get a girlfriend and suddenly women are breaking into my house'.
"Hello Yori, mind telling me why your here".
" Cough H-hello Stoppable-san Go-san".
" Wait huh".
"I don't just claim to be the best Ron".
"It is true Ron-san we still don't know how Go-san tracked us to our base but she did indeed defeat everyone including Master Sensei".
"Respect where it's due I would have lost that fight if he was younger age ruined a amazing fighter".
The word age triggered Ron deeply and he had to take a deep breath.
"Well thats a lot to take in secret ninja school not that secret and weaker than I thought".
"Excuse me"? You down playing me buffoon"?
"No… I just mean uhh well I… uhh I put my foot in mouth again…. I… Just saying Jackie could blow threw them".
"Well yeah that's not really a fair fight, it's a zombie with magic versus a bunch of ninjas and martial artists. Don't just forget y'all are walking natural disasters".
"A zombie… magic what"?
Before the couple could explain they watched as Yoris alert eyes glazed over.
" For the love of everything don't tell those annoying ass people about anything please"!!
Wukongs waved his hand sending the sleep Yori away.
"I go to the library again and not even two hours later your already mixing in with the wrong crowd now I know what Nu WA felt".
"Nu Wa? You mean the one that created humanity"?
"Created humanity? What no Nu Wa was a nasty old hag that used to try and sculpt me into one of her toys".
" I'm so confused about time. If what Sheila said was true wouldn't that make Nu WA older than Anubis by a long shot"?
"Yeah by like five hundred AD".
"... you don't know how our time works do you".
" Your concept of time is very confusing.
"If going purely by years, how old are you"?
"About six hundred thousand".
"That's completely different than 600 AD what did you mean by Anubis' age? How old is he and is the earth that old".
"AD is like after a certain point if it's 2000 AD and you're looking at 1 BC that's 2001 years ago pretty sure AD and BC are just religious terms".
"I hate your species, that makes no sense".
"You know that but not what city you live in".
"I'm being bullied by a chameleon".
"We can still play buffoon goes ouch".
Ron held out his hand inviting Sheila to do what she wanted. " Ahhh oww OKAY okay I'm sorry. I've seen your hands, what are those gloves made out of".
Sheila released her finger from Ron's side and smiled sweetly at him while pulling out her nail file. "It's a special material that makes it easier to cut through bullet proof glass but I'm finding a secondary function of punishing a certain thick skinned buffoon quite satisfactory".
"Why wouldn't you just melt the glass"?
"Oh I don't know plasma sensors, fire alarms, or you know don't want melted glass or melted whatever I'm stealing to be a problem".
"Never thought of that we always thought you just smashed and grabbed".
Oh I do sometimes but you know not everything can just be stolen learned that the hard way when I smashed a glass case and nearly got my hand snapped off. Diamond tipped bear trap was waiting for me if my reflexes wasn't so good it would have caught me".
"They wasted diamonds on a bear trap of all things just to try and catch your hand… What business was that"?
"Pop Pop Porters… Don't you go making trouble. I better not find you sneaking off to do shit with your ninja gear gone".
Wukong had been flipping through texts books as the couple went at each other, becoming more and more confused. The monkey had picked up a habit of scratching his head with his tail as he flipped through the book. He had spent too much time looking for lost friends and only came back to check up on people he liked and thought could make it to the next level and never bothered to check on how the world was developing.
" Ok this still doesn't make any sense I'm going to take your textbook brother good luck and stay away from that school especially that undying fart. Theirs a reason he's made it to that age without reaching our realm…. Well actually no point in hiding it from you, you're one of us. He doesn't truly want his brother or his sister destroyed otherwise he'd have done it himself. Watch your back".
With that Wukong kidnapped Ron's entire backpack and made his way out. He didn't teleport rather left through the front door. Both Ron and Sheila watched through the still open door as the monkey got surprised when the door mat came from under him. The duo could hear him screeching all the way down the tube.
" The first ever time he doesn't just teleport away he falls in a hole".
"Me and you are gonna have to fight for that chameleon jab".
" I know I just fought a jackal but I try not to abuse animals….owwwww okay okay stop I sorry… I just don't support monkey on chameleon hate crime
Ron watched in fear as the claws on Sheila's gloves appeared again, having put them away after getting him a second ago.
"Hehe let's uhhh relax, you look actually mad now… Sheila… It's not too late to say sorry is it? I think I'd rather we fight… stop walking at me like that". Ron backed away as Sheila creeper closer. They stayed like this with Ron backing up as Sheila creeper closer into Ron felt himself bump into a wall. When Sheila got right infront of him Ron couldn't help but whine and flinch prepared for pain that never came. Instead he was patted on the head while Sheila was laughing at him.
"Don't worry Ron, I'm gonna save it all for your training practice starting tomorrow".
"Why'd you say it like that...t-training practice I…"
"Shhh. It's not optional. You're mine and I always demand the very best. Getting hurt in any way by some failed wrestler is unacceptable so I'm gonna train you".
"...I'm scared".
" Good. I'm not going to be gentle".
"You're supposed to make me feel better and comfort me".
" You'll get your loving and comforting spearmint back after beating you".
"You didn't mean to beat me into shape, did you"?
" You know me so well".
The cheerful smile on girlfriend was messing with Ron. Someone shouldn't be able to make your mind go blank from how beautiful you found them while admitting they're gonna beat you.
" Today's gonna be your last day of peace til I'm satisfied".
"W-wait a second Sheila I-I could die you know I need food to he…"
" Shut it".
"Yes ma'am…Wait I'm sorry that ju…"
" Shut it ".
"Don't worry your pretty little head my favorite out of your friends gave me the perfect thing to make sure that doesn't happen. It's so easy to get as well you're gonna be good my little punching bag".
"..."
Sheila pulled over a bag Ron hadn't noticed was next to him against the wall. Inside of the bag was a bunch of wrapped mystery meat from the school. Sheila unwrapped it and stuffed it in Ron's mouth. Just like when Wukong it instantly filled him up.
"No no no no no please nooooo".
" He was very amazed that a recipe for ancient food was being fed to children. Apparently it's some kind of super supplement to your kind and a nutritional meal to everyone else".
"Sheila…"
" Hmm I guess their can be one way for you to get out of this".
"What is it? I'll do almost anything".
Sheila couldn't help but giggle at Ron's response. She was going to tease him but his words already stopped that in its tracks.
" You already guessed what I was gonna say so don't worry".
"As if. I already signed up for getting my ass kicked the rest of my life when we got together...this just feels like it's gonna be sadistic torture".
"It is".
"Again you're supposed to comfort me".
"And you're supposed to be the man in the relationship, things change".
"... what does that mean… don't make me reconnect the shared feelings thing. If I can make my MMP stop, I can reactivate it".
" Is that a threat? Stoppable… I was going to have fun with you today but training is starting now".
".You were going to have fun with me either way".
Both of us would enjoy the fun I was thinking about now it's just me".
"My big mouth and being terrified don't go together".
" See you're already learning".
Ron started sweating and dodged out of the way of the claws coming for his chest and went into full survival mode as Sheila went at him like she was possessed. The smile on her face didn't change at all despite her actions.
A/N
Thanks for all the reviews and messages I'm glad y'all are enjoying.
Monkey steals peach is a martial arts move and I used that as a reference for Yoris answer. Felt like it would be a good fit as a secret password for the monkey worshiping school. No one would willingly admit they stole peaches. It's not a part of the actual story so I felt I needed to explain it.
Also I found out Yamanouchi was founded in 338 AD while I stated Wukong was 600 AD from the story of journey to the west so its cannon he has no idea what times he's talking about.
Tldr: Authors dumb and doesn't fact check before writing
