Kim Possible walked up to her old home. Waves of nostalgia swept over her as she rang the doorbell. A middle-aged man opened the door, and looked at her with sad, deep eyes. Wordlessly they embraced, and tears fell from Kim's emerald eyes.
"The doctor says that Jim is recovering steadily….but Tim…" Kim's mother broke off, leaving no doubt as to what she meant. Kim sat ashen-faced on the sofa, looking into her mother's eyes, so much like her own, and saw fear. Suddenly Kim spoke:
"I am going to kill Shego" She said, in a cold deadly voice " I am going to hunt her down and rip out her heart" The tone she was using meant she was being literal about that.
"Kim, I know you want to, but she is too strong. You know your brothers are talented in their own right, and she didn't even try… You saw what she did to the wall, just by throwing Tim into it, she would kill you and not bat an eyelid." Kim's dad said to her, he had dropped the tone he normally used and was intense, staring her down. " I don't know how strong you have got, fighting in that… monastery but I don't think you're anywhere near strong enough."
"No… but maybe Team Possible is." Kim whispered to herself
"What was that Kim?" Her father asked
"Nothing, I'm going to find Shego now." Kim said, and got up to walk out of the door, "Oh and I'm borrowing the car," Rattling the keys with a twinkle in her eye, she walked out the front door.
Minutes later, she was swerving round the streets of Middleton, and she got Wade up on the Kimmunicator.
"Hey Wade, I know he won't want to see me, but where's Ron at these days?"
"At the moment? He's at his house, not too far from you….." And Wade gave her the directions.
Ron sat on the sofa at his house, Rose had a laptop and was sitting next to him, typing furiously.
"Rose, stop working so hard, you can't find anything else about the centurion project, it's too highly protected." Ron said gently, and closed her laptop
" I suppose your right," Rose sighed " We'll just have to wait until Shego, or Drakken does something we can track." She shifted up closer to him, and he found himself wondering about her, not that he had stopped over the last three days. She was still a mystery to him, in terms of her history, but she was as close to him as anyone else had been for the last few years in these few days. She reminded him of a girl he once knew, or thought he had known anyway, before she changed. Rose blew a strand of her brilliant blond hair from her eyes and stood up, " I need to do some sparring Ron, I'll get slow otherwise, which isn't a good idea with Drakken having the Centurion project."
"Good idea, I have a weights room set aside for me downstairs, that's got plenty of room." He nodded.
Rose stepped into the gym, it was the relative size of Ron's whole flat, and a whole floor of blue mats was lain out, perfect for sparring.
" This is all set aside for you? You're more loaded than you look" She said with a wry smile.
"This whole block of flats was supposed to be one house, for me it was GJ's way of thanking me, but I only needed one floor, and I thought this would be a good addition too." Ron said, and Rose looked around at the weights, the machines and other training equipment that were scattered around the room carelessly. They were both clothed in Gi now, him wearing the orange robes that are affiliated with the Shaoilin Monks of China, Rose found herself wondering how he came by them, she was dressed in the normal white Gi. They stepped forward onto the mat, and struck there ready stances.
"You're going down Stoppable!" She taunted, half jokingly.
" We'll see." Ron smiled a confident little smile, and charged her. He swung as though to punch, but instead swung a sweeping low kick, taking her feet from below her, and flipped backwards, tumbling like a professional gymnast and striking his ready position again. She got up, flipping back into a combat pose,
"Oh, It's on now, Stoppable!" She said, and launched herself of the ground, Ron moved back into a low stance, and she brought her foot hurtling into his face, he stepped, caught her foot and threw her, she landed sprawled on the mat.
"I was just checking how good you were, I can stop holding back now." Rose said, and launched herself at him, their hands moved at a blistering speed, each punch blocked or dodged, until Rose caught Ron's fist, and brought her foot hurtling into his stomach. Her foot met, not soft skin as he had expected, but a ring of muscle, and he grunted, flung backwards, but not far enough. She overbalanced and collapsed on him, and they laughed as they hit the floor, they sat there in each other's arms. That was when Kim came in.
