A beautiful meadow. In the distance was an outline. A boy. But who could it be? They start running towards each other, arms held out. Closer and closer they come, but she still can't see who it is. They finally embrace. His face still hidden, he turns to her and says,

"Kim, you need to get up! Wade called. He was worried when you didn't respond. Kim? Kim! Wake up!" As she opened her eyes, a fuzzy picture of her father appeared.

"Welcome to the land of the living, Kimmy-cub. I trust you had a good flight from dream-land?"

Kim rolled her eyes. "Daaad."

"Sorry, sweetie," replied Dr. Possible, leaving the room.

'Parents' thought Kim. She sighed, remembering her dream. 'Very strange,' she thought. 'I've never had a dream like that before.'

As she touched a button on the Kimmunicator, she was still contemplating the dream. The fact that she couldn't tell who the person was happened to be driving her nuts.

"What's the sitch, Wade?" she asked.

"Thank God you're ok. I was getting worried. Now then, we just got a hit on your web site. One professor Charles Xavier. He said something about mutants in his post. I think it's worth a look. He's coming here in his private jet to pick you and Ron up. I've already informed Ron, and he's on his way to your house." "Ok, I'm on it," Kim said.

"Oh, one more thing," said Wade. "I have a couple new gadgets for you." He pushed a few keys on his keyboard. "This looks like an ordinary pair of gloves, but they allow you to stick and climb on walls with a push of a button, in any kind of weather. Sort of a 'Spider-Man' effect. I read about something like them in a community. It has to do with Geckos. Anyways... This is a laser that temporarily stuns an opponent; it also doubles as a keychain. I might have more later on."

"Thanks. You rock, Wade," Kim said.

"What else is new?" Wade joked.

The screen went dark. As Kim got ready, she let her mind wonder over the things she wanted to do this summer. 'I had hoped this would be a NORMAL summer for once,' she thought as she walked downstairs. She stopped short when she saw Ron chowing down in the Possible kitchen.

"Hey, KP!" Ron greeted Kim.

"Well you sure took your time getting over here," Kim chuckled.

"I thought I'd come over for a second breakfast. I'm starving!" he said, biting into a big apple he had in one hand while holding a pop-tart in the other.

"So, I sure didn't expect the summer to start this way. How about you KP?"

"Me neither. I was hoping for a normal summer." Kim replied.

"Yeah I know. What's up with that? Don't villains go on vacation or something?"

Kim smiled at that. "We had better get going. We wouldn't want to keep Professor Xavier Waiting." They head to the airport..."

*insert traveling music of your choice here*

"WOW! A BLACKBIRD! BOOYA!" shouted Ron. "I LOVE THAT PLANE! If Wade ever comes out of his room, remind me to kiss him!"

The Kimmunicator springs to life.

"I heard that! Now I'm never leaving my house!" Wade said. "Besides, I didn't have anything to do with it. It belongs to Professor Xavier."

"Wade, how come we never heard anything about Drakken springing this guy from jail? We almost always know." inquired Kim.

"Well, it seems that Drakken might actually be learning. He didn't post his plans all over the internet this time." replied Wade. "I'll see if I can dig up anything else. Later Kim."

"See ya, Wade," Kim responded as the screen went dark for the second time that day. As they approached the Blackbird, a ramp lowered and a mechanical wheelchair rolled down.

"Greetings. I am Professor Charles Xavier. We will be leaving for New York shortly. I will fill you in on the way."

They board, and are soon accelerating down the runway. As the jet leaps into the air, Professor X begins to speak, "A dangerous mutant, who goes by the name of Kinesis, was sprung from the maximum security detention center last week. He is a very formidable foe, with the power of time-travel. The X-Men defeated him long ago, probably even before you were born. Now he has escaped, with the help of Dr. Drakken, of course."

Kim and Ron looked at each other. This was going to be one hell of a weird summer.

Hee hee... this is getting interesting, if I do say so myself... Next chapter... we catch a glimpse of Drakken's diabolical plot. TBC... R&R
