Kim Possible and Street Hawk: Revenge of the BeeBees p 10

Disclaimer: I do not own Kim Possible, Street Hawk, Robocop or Thunderbirds. Wish I did though.

A New Ally and Reunion of Friends

Back at the Middleton Space Center, Jane and Dr. Porter are working on removing the hive-mind portions of the robot's central processor. Any piece they manage to remove, they manage to replace with a memory chip capable of 1000 hours worth of memory. They even manage to analyze the hive-mind portions and find it can be adapted into one mind for the robot. As Dr. Porter works on ridding the portions of the virus, Jane programs the robot very much the way Robocop was programmed.

She types in the robot's prime directives at Robocop's suggestion. 'Serve the public trust. Protect the innocent. Uphold the Law.' She even types an extra one for good measure. 'If in doubt, flip a coin. Heads you do, tails you don't.'

Jane then remembers why Robocop made the suggestion. "If Mallardo is able to get BeeBee back under his control, he'd have to contend with the reprogramming. Nice work, Dr. Tuttle."

Jane merely smiled and said, "As a friend of my son's once said, 'no big.' Just glad I could help today, Commander Murphy."

Suddenly, Norman runs into the lab and says, "Felix and Tara have been abducted! Little Norman is crying his head off and I found out Corrido had a brother. And a sister."

Street Hawk asks, "You sure? I thought my predecessor dealt with that bunch a long time ago."

Norman nods and goes on. "You see, when the original Street Hawk took Anthony Corrido out of the picture, it left only his brother and sister alive. The sister had a daughter. Guess who she was."

Street Hawk ponders this and hazards a guess. "Adrena Lynn." Norman nods and Street Hawk says, "Well now. Doesn't that just bite nuts and butts?"

Robocop jumps in and says, "I'll find out more about the Corrido family history." He goes to the nearest terminal and extends his data spike. He inputs his information and the search criteria. In minutes he has his answers.

He then withdraws the spike, goes to their side and says, "Anthony Corrido was survived by Robert Corrido and Elizabeth Corrido-Lynn. Elizabeth was disowned when she went outside the family's desires for a family of her own. She kept in touch with both of her brothers for they felt that she had gotten a raw deal. After Anthony died, she had a miscarriage in her first pregnancy and a successful one five years later. Daughter's name, Adrena Lynn. Status, deceased. Involved in the hit-and-run injury of Ron Stoppable. Went into a coma when the van she was riding in went off a cliff at a high rate of speed."

Street Hawk then adds it up and says, "I'm the target then. It's supposed to be a trap for me. Kidnap influential people, expect me to come in and rescue them, and then trap me when they have me right where they want me."

Robocop nods and says, "There is a high possibility that you are correct, Street Hawk. Problem is, what are you going to do?"

Street Hawk bows his head in thought and then perks it up. "I'm gonna do a fake surrender." He asks, "Dr. Tuttle, how much longer until Diana's new body is ready?"

Jane grins and replies, "It's just about back together, Street Hawk. Why, what's up?"

"How hard would it be to arm the robot with non-lethal weapons? Like knock-out gas, tranq rounds and memory blankers?"

Jane ponders this and her face lights up with a smile in realization. "You're gonna do a Trojan Horse. With you on the cycle and Diana leading the way, a rope around you and the cycle."

Street Hawk nods and replies, "Exacto."

Diana swirls out of the port and says, "I don't like it, Street Hawk. What if it backfires? You'd be defenseless."

Street Hawk shakes his head and says, "Not if we put an magnesium flare collar on the robot. Only it'll send a blinding light into everybody's eyes around, say, fifteen feet."

Robocop grins and says, "Like an EMP device, just enough to short out their eyes for a period of time."

Street Hawk nods and says, "Bingo." At that, the crew starts planning.

Mr. Barkin, with his tactical experience, is proving himself valuable in planning the assault on the compound. Robocop looks at Street Hawk, who merely shrugs and smiles behind his visor at the same time.

Meanwhile, inside the Hood's lair, Josh decides to visit his captive audience. As he goes down the stairs, he starts smiling evilly as he thinks about the looks of shock on their faces when they see him. Instead of their fearful whimpering, which is what he had expected, he finds them chatting happily, despite their circumstances.

Infuriated, he yells out, "Hello, you're captives, not guests!"

Connie looks around, smiles and sarcastically says, "No wonder we're in cages. I thought this was part of a party game. Hey guys, we're hostages! Is that cool or what?"

Felix slaps his forehead in mock surprise and so does Tara before they let out a loud laugh and Tara says, "But hey, it's okay. It's insane!" They all let out a massive bout of laughter, except Josh is not laughing.

Even Joss gets in on the act. "So you're the side-windin' varmint that tried to have my cousin-in-law killed. When we get done with this party, we're gonna do a branding party! Lonnie, Connie, you're invited. So are you Felix, Tara, Monique and Wade. How about you, Ms. Rockwaller?"

Ms. Rockwaller asks, "What does a branding party entail?"

Joss replies, "We take a hot branding iron and we press it into Josh's backside! Of course, since he's mostly a butthead, we'd have to brand him several times before the party ends." She then lets loose another bout of laughter with the others joining in. This infuriates Josh even further.

Josh snarls and says, "Ron Stoppable is not your cousin-in-law. He's a loser, plain and simple."

Joss snarls right back and says, "If I weren't in this cage right now, I'd fight you head on, you weinerheaded butthead." At that, Joss lets out another massive laugh before she feels an impact on her jaw.

She looks up and sees Josh standing, flexing his right fist and smirking at her. He then says, "You best watch your step, little girl. You won't get to see your cousin get married if you don't."

Joss, tears falling from her eyes, says, "I've already been there and done that, you moron. You're the loser, not Ron. Only a loser would strike a lady." In a huff, Josh stalks off, leaving Joss sobbing softly, resolving not to let him hear her cry.

Tara kneels down, reaches for Joss' cage and asks, "Joss, can you get to me? I need to see how badly you're hurt." Joss weakly nods and goes to the side of the cage that Tara is reaching for. Tara frowns when she sees a bruise starting to appear on Joss' jaw. She then says, "You've got a bit of a bruise, but looks like there's no lasting damage."

Monique snarls and says, "So Josh was the one responsible for Ron's getting hurt and ending his career as the Mad Dog. When I get out of here, I'm so gonna go Mad Dog on Mankey's behind and tear him a new one." She then slams her fist into her palm.

Lonnie, Connie and Ms. Rockwaller agree on that front. Wade and Felix can only numbly nod as they think about the heyday that the ladies would have with Josh.

Tara asks, "Wade, did you bring any gadgets when you were grabbed?"

Wade grins and replies, "Sure did. Problem is, however, that it's top secret. You cannot tell anyone about it." When the others nod, he fishes into his pocket and brings out a remote, much like the one Kim was given for emergencies long ago. He presses the right button and sees a red light flashing on it, indicating it's working.

He then says, "All we can do now is wait. I just sent our location to a specialized rescue party and to some friends of mine."

Not quite satisfied with the cryptic response, the others shrug and return to the chatting which had been so rudely interrupted.
