I will warn you. This is quite possibly one of the oddest and most improbable things that has cropped up in the sick and twisted relm known as my mind.
But I think you may like it. All characters are copyrighted to their creators while the storyline itself is my own.
It is kind of a sequel to my earlier story That One Thing, so, I suggest you read it. If you don't, prepare for a surprise. Or many. Thanks.
Oh and by the way, the only way for one to get better is for people to tell him he is screwing up. hint, hint
To the anonymous reviewer : I know. The one thing I kind of suck at is taking an existing character and keep them fit the mold. Shego is my greatest disaster in this case. And by the way Ron does get smarter.
"Azrath, Metrion, Zinthos." Everyone was surrounded in the black mist. When it settled they were standing in front of a huge T-shaped tower.
"Wow. Having an ability like that would make getting to missions a lot easier." Kim stated as they entered the tower.
"How do you normaly get around?" Raven asked.
"We help people, then they offer their services when we need a ride." Kim stated.
"They do not offer you money?" Starfire asked.
"Me and K.P. do it for free." Ron said proudly.
The elevator opened and they were rapidly taken to a large room. Kim saw a niche for the kitchen to one side and on the other was a hallway. Ahead of them was a massive sunken couch that overlooked the bay. Ron suddenly gasped. "Kim. Do you know what this means? Us coming to this other world?"
"What Ron?" Kim asked dryly.
Ron gripped Kim's shoulders and she could see tears welling up in his eyes. "No Bueno Nacho!" He started sobbing.
Kim pinched the bridge of her nose. "I think that is the worst of our worries." The kimunicator beeped its distinctive beep. "What's the sitch Wade?"
"Well Kim. They found Drakken huddled in a supply closet. Shego is no where in sight. And the entire main lab area looks like it was melted." Wade said exacerbatedly.
Kim let the Kimunicator fall away from her face with her hand. Cyborg sat down in one of the chairs around a large table. "Dr. Light and his lackeys were trying to generate a black hole right? So it is probable that you're in another dimension, possibly another universe."
Kim heard Wade, "He's right Kim. Whoever he is. That is what Drakken's device could do."
Kim lifted the kimunicator up finally. "Hey Wade. How long would it take for you to contact and collect some people for a little conference."
"I don't know Kim. Who?"
"My parents, the tweebs, Monique, Ron's parrents, and Dr. Director if you could."
"Probably an hour. They'll all be there." Wade spoke gravely.
"Cyborg here is their tech guru it looks like, so I'm going to give him the Ron Com and see if he can do the same here."
"Okay, Kim. Talk to you later." Wade cut the connection.
"Ron give me your Ron Com." Ron reluctantly handed it over. Kim walked up to Cyborg who sipped on a glass of orange juice. "Hey Cyborg."
"Yeah?" Cyborg looked up from his glass.
"Do you think you can take this and set it up on a large screen so I can introduce all of you to my family?" Kim asked.
Cyborg looked at Robin who nodded as he sat across from Cyborg with a glass of milk. "Sure Kim. It's different technology. It may take a bit."
"I'm sure you can handle it." Robin stated. Cyborg took the Ron Com and walked away. "Have a seat Kim." Kim sat down. "You all right?"
"Would you be?"
"No, that's why I'm asking."
"I'm allright. Ron seems to be fitting in." Ron was seated next to Beastboy playing a video game.
Robin looked over and smiled. "So he does." Robin's gaze returned to Kim. "I will let you know fighting super villans here is a lot more dangerous, I'm assuming."
Kim rested her head on her hands. "That doesn't change what I am. Me and Ron have been doing it for a long time. We're best friends. And we work extremely well as a team. So I am letting you know I am gonna help you until I get back to my own world. I can't just loaf about can I?"
"You can, but I don't think you could do that could you?"
Kim sighed. "Nope. Helping people is what I do." The kimunicator beeped again. Kim pulled it out and opened it. "What's the sitch, Wade?"
"Ha. Close princess, but no cigar." Shego's unmistakable sneer displayed on the small screen.
"What?" Kim was incredulous.
"Well it looks like we're in the same world again. I saw three villans leaving the factory and I tried to go with them. They knocked me out, but not before I stole one of their comunicators. Well I'm here and I know the best place to be if I want to go back is wherever you are, so. Where are you?" Shego grinned.
Kim covered the kimunicator and looked over at Robin. "Looks like someone else I know was transported here too. One more?"
Robin sighed. "I don't see why not. Do they have transportation?"
Kim smiled. "They'll get here." Kim uncovered the kimunicator. "Shego, if you promise to be good the Teen Titan's say that you can come. It's the giant T-shaped tower in the bay."
Shego grinned. "Villans honor." She cut the connection.
Kim put the kimunicator back in her pocket. She looked up at Robin who was ashen. "What?"
"Did she just say 'Villans honor'?"
"Yeah. She's a villian."
Robin leapt to his feet. "I can't believe you just invited a villan here." He turned. "Titans, Battle stations" All the titans that remained in the main area were a flurry of activity.
"Active defenses will be online in twenty seconds." Cyborg said loudly.
"Good." Robin replied.
Kim stood and shouted, "Wait!"
"What?" Robin shot back, annoyed.
Kim held up her hands, "I don't know how villans work here, but in my world villans have a code. Your home is hallowed ground."
Robin turned to her. "And this Shego adheres to this code?" Robin sneered, incredulous at the words.
Kim got right in his face. "As tightly as I never attacked her at hers." Kim relented. "Besides, she knows that the best chance to get home lies with me."
Robin maintained eye contact with Kim for several seconds before breaking off. "Titans, standdown." Then more commandingly. "Maintain active defenses. Come to the main room we have a new guest to meet."
The titans gathered in the main room across from Kim and Ron. "Whats going on Robin?" Cyborg asked.
"Yes, friend Robin. Why immediately stand down from the stations of battle." Starfire floated over.
"It appears as though one of the villians from Kim's world was also transported here." There was a collective gasp. "Also, it appears as though Kim needs some education on villan behavior here in Jump city." Robin settled his gaze on Kim. "I don't really care how it works in your world, but here villans will attack you at your home."
"In fact several have attacked while we were sleeping." Beastboy lamented.
"And my security system is the only thing that keeps them out." Cyborg stated proudly.
Everyone heard the sound of a soda tab being popped. "Your security system kind of sucks. Why do you guys have thirty bottles of mustard?" Shego sauntered out of the kitched and stood beside Kim. She daintily sipped the soda.
Kim introduced Shego. "Titans, this is Shego. She is a master theif." Kim continued on to introduce the rest of the titans.
"Hey she has green skin too?" Beastboy beamed.
Shego enflamed one hand in plasma. "What of it?"
Kim watched as the laid back demeanor instantly changed. They were ready for battle. Kim laid a hand on Shego's arm. "Shego, you are way out of your luege here." Kim smiled apologetically at the titans. "She's a little sensative on that subject."
The titans relaxed as Shego's plasma subsided. She flipped a lock of her long hair over her back. "I'm sure Kimmie has offered her services to help you fight crime eh?"
"She has?" Robin asked.
"I won't do that." Shego stated.
Robin smiled. "Fine then I suggest you get to work with Cyborg to beef up his security. Apparently it is below standards."
Shego looked at her nails. "Way below standards. Since I'll be sleeping here I think it would be wise to at least feel safe."
Cyborg shuffled off mummbling. Kim's kimunicator beeped again. Kim opened it. "What's the sitch, Wade?"
"You ready on your end?" Wade mumbled.
"Wow that was quick." Kim raised her head. "Cyborg, how is that link coming?"
"Ready to go whenever your techie is." Cyborg called from the semicircle of couches, and waved everone over.
"Okay, Wade." Kim said as she stood.
"Okay." Wade cut his connection.
One of the windows that overlooked the bay filled with static then displayed Kim's living room with her entire family. "Now that is a big screen." Ron said as he flopped down on the couch.
"Titans here is the people I know. From right to left." Kim indicated the people on the far left. "This is Mr. and Mrs. Stopable. Next it Dr. Director, head of Global Justice, an international anti-villan group. Then we have my parents Mr. Dr. Possible and Mrs. Dr. Possible. Next is my twin younger brothers, Tim and Jim. And finally is Monique another of my best friends." Kim indicated the titans. "Midleton I would like to introduce you to the Teen Titans from your right to left. Starfire, Raven, Robin, Cyborg, Jinx, and Beastboy. I believe you all know Shego in the background." Kim sighed. "I am in the hands of the titans for the time being. Dad I am counting on you and Wade to come up for a way to bring me back."
Mr. Possible coughed. "We know it was a quantum singularity on both sides that caused it. And that it must still be open for the kimunicator to still work. I promise honey, we at the lab will find a way to bring you home."
"I know you will dad." Kim said.
Robin stood and indicated for Kim to take a seat. "Hello, Possibles, Stopables." Robin nodded. "I am Robin leader of the Teen Titans. I will say that your daughter is in good hands here. She is with one of the groups of super heroes that protect this planet. Beastboy here can morph into any animal he chooses. Jinx has the ability to cause, as best we can tell, bad luck on any component. Cyborg is mostly a robot. Starfire can concentrate solar energy using her emotions to emit a powerful bolt of energy from her hands or her eyes. And Raven is a half demon capable of telekenesis, telepathy, and astral projection. She also dabbles in time control. I, however, have no super abilities. I am just very good at my chosen vocation." Robin paused. "Now I would like for you to send your children out of the room. The rest is not necessary for them to hear."
Mrs. Possible looked angry, but sent the tweebs, Tim and Jim, to their room. "Why was that necessary?"
"Her, too if you don't mind." Robin indicated Monique.
"No, you don't. If Kim can hear it so can I?" Monique replied.
"As you wish." Robin sighed deeply. "I do not know what the portal did, but it seems to have given some powers to people who have passed through it. Shego seems to have the ability to control plasma."
Kim spoke up. "She always had that ability."
Robin turned around. "Shego, do you notice any difference in your powers?"
Shego stopped filing her nails to do a once over. She lit her hand up in plasma and tossed a ball into the air. She caught it and dissapated it. She sat motionless for a few moments and sniffed the air. Finally she made a small cut on the back of her hand and watched it heal. "Nope no change." She returned to filing her nails.
"I am not so sure about your son and your daughter. I am fairly certain your daughter has some."
"Why is that?" Mr. Possible asked.
Robin smiled. "She was swatted aside by Mammoth and turned a five megawatt turbine generator into a horseshoe. She walked away with only a dislocated shoulder. I think it is safe to say she can take a hit."
Kim raised her hand. "Raven here healed me. I'm okay."
"That's my daughter." Mrs. Possible commented.
"What I really wanted to give to you is the very real danger that your daughter faces here. We fight super-villans on a daily basis. Villans with the power to control the elements, the mind, and their own bodies. We do our best. A couple of months ago we eaven had to defeat an inter-dimensional Deamon named Trigon." Robin scowled.
"I thought deamons didn't exist?" Mr. Possible asked.
"Yeah, well we didn't think it possible for the entire world to be consumed by flames in less than a minute, but we were proved wrong. It is not easy being a super-hero here. The villans will even attack your home while you sleep. I don't know what kind of status your daughter has there, but here not even a super hero is safe from common criminals. Jinx if it's okay with you?" Robin indicated the pink haired girl.
Jinx gave a quick squeeze to Cyborg's hand and nodded. "About two years ago. I was sixteen at the time, and enrolled in the Hive. It was kind of an academy for super villans. Anyway, I was walking back to the school when I was jumped by three common criminals. They raped me, Mr. and Mrs. Possible, and I killed them cause I could not control my powers under the stress. The Titans took me in and saved me from myself."
"It is not a safe world your daughter finds her self in." Robin stated simply.
"Why are you telling us all of this?" Mrs. Possible said shakily.
Robin lowered his head. "Your daughter has expressed a desire to help the titans fight crime, when it I am fully able to let her stay out of harms way here at the tower. I am asking your help to convince her to stay safe."
"What the hell are you doing Robin?" Kim asked standing.
"Kimmie cub?" Mr. Possible waited until his daughter's attention was on him. "He has just as much right to try and convince you as I do." Mr. Possible let his words sink in. "However, Robin, I have already tried on multiple ocasions. I trust in my daughters judgement."
"As do I." Mrs. Possible laid a hand on her husbands shoulder. "We do not like the idea of our daughter in harms way, but that doesn't change the fact that it is what she chooses to do."
"And, we support what our daughter chooses to do." Mr. Possible stated proudly.
Robin pinched the bridge of his nose. "Fine." He huffed. "I will do my best to train them to protect themselves."
"That is all we ask." Mr. Possible nodded.
Wade's small square spoke up from the corner of the screen. "We may have more issues than that." Wade paused. "I have been monitoring the transmission and I are seeing a temporal disparity." He looked up from his computer screen. "Kim, the world you are in is pulling away from ours, time wise."
"What does that mean Wade?" Kim asked.
"Well, by what I am seeing, in about three hours it will be impossible to talk normally. Your time is accelerating at almost an exponential rate." Wade typed furiously. "I'm setting up the Kimunicator to start sending comunicae as burst transmissions when it becomes necessary."
Kim sat heavily on the couch. "I know I said I'd stay in touch when I moved out, mom. Looks like it's going to be harder than I thought."
"Hold, up. What the hell are you two talkin about?" Monique cut in.
Wade did some more typing. "Monique, It's like this. If you send a message every day, Kim will get them every day at first then every week, month, years. Your still sending them once a day." Monique looked into the screen understanding what that meant.
"Is the signal degrading?" Robin asked.
Wade typed some more. "Signal is still strong. As time seperates it may get weaker, but I don't believe so."
Dr. Director finally spoke up. "We can rule out another dimension then."
"Why?" Mr. Possible asked.
"If it was mearly another dimension than time would not be splitting. Whenever Kim went into that place another universe split off. Temporal mechanics makes my head hurt." Dr. Director sighed.
"I think it best for the scientists to work on the problems. The way it looks there is much more support for Kim on your side. I will lend all the support I can from over here, but it isn't much." Robin sighed. "Anyway, I am getting some sleep. Tomorrow is a training day." The Titans groaned. "And your daughter and companions will need rest too." Robin left.
The rest of the Titans began leaving. Starfire stopped. "New Friends. There are several empty rooms at the end of the hall over there. I will leave you to talk with your parents. I do not believe it will be a problem if you desire food from our stores. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Starfire." Kim said and watched the orange skinned young woman fly away. Kim sighed. "Well this sucks."
"Your telling me girl." Monique stood. "I gotta go, but I will be sending that daily message. That's a promise."
"Thanks, Mon." Kim looked at her father who was already dressing down his lab coat. "Anything's possible for a Possible, right dad?" Her voice broke.
"Look Kimmie Cub, you and Ron have saved the world many times over. I think I can manage punching a hole into another universe." He put a hand on his wife's shoulder as he stood. "I'll be spending a lot of time at the lab. Don't wait up."
"Just grab your pillow on the way out. You know how that cot gets your neck sore."
"Oh good thinking." Mr. Possible left with a smile.
"I will join him. I know a thing or two about temporal mechanics." Dr. Director left the screen.
"Mom, Dad?" Ron asked.
Ron's father pointed a finger at the screen. "You just stay by Kim's side. You keep her safe and you will be safe, got it?"
Ron nodded. "You got it pop."
"We'll be sending messages along with the Possibles, so you do the same allright?"
"I will mom." Ron sighed.
His parents left the room hugging each-other. Leaving Wade and Mrs. Possible. "You know I love you Kim. I don't want you getting hurt."
"I'll try mom." Kim couldn't help the feeling that they were saying goodbye.
"Your father will get the rest of you home. Or our name isn't Possible." She couldn't help the tear rolling down her cheek.
"I know mom. I'll stay in touch." Kim spoke waveringly.
Her mother cut her connection leaving Wade filling the whole screen. "It's all set up Kim. Just open the kimunicator and it will start recording to send a message. You sleep well Kim."
"Good night Wade. And thanks." Kim said as the connection was cut.
Kim held her head in her hands and small sobs escaped her. The sobs subsided and she was nuged. Kim looked up to see Shego handing her a plate. "The buffoon found some sandwich stuff and made some."
"Thanks, Shego." Kim stood and took the plate and followed her to the table.
"You know that Robin fellow is right. This world is nothing like ours. I really don't want to fight the things here." Shego said as she drank from a soda.
Kim grinned, "But I thought you were the best?"
Shego held up a hand. "Don't try and stroke my ego. There is self confidence, and there is stupidity. I am not stupid Kim. You may think you can take on anything, and I see that as stupid."
"But at least Kim is willing to try. Ain't that right K.P.?" Ron set three sandwiches on the table.
Kim took a bite of her sandwich. She chewed slowly and swallowed. "Fine, if after the training session tomorrow, I don't think I can handle it. I will back out."
"But, K.P.?" Ron asked incredulous.
"Shut up, Stoppable. Now that is a smart choice." Shego watched the look of complete despair on Kim's face. "It may go against your grain, but so is staying in a hero's house for others."
Kim gave a small smile. "Right." She took a deep breath. "Till tomorrow then." The remainder of the meal was eaten in silence. The rooms they had been given were well kept, but bare. It would do for now.
I want to appologize in advance to the readers. From here it gets rushed. I know, bad Idea. But I want to really get to where I want the story to go. I think the way I did it works really well and this way it ensures that I will actually finish something. So many of my stories end up at the bottom of a very deep pile as more ideas take precidence before the first one is done. Zoom on over to and look for Draconians in the fantasy section and you can find my very first Idea for a story. I'll finish this one in a few days hopefully.
