Kim Possible and Street Hawk: Daughter of Mach p 4

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

Leaving Middleton and the Flight to L.A.

Back in Middleton, Norman and the others are securing Command Center after having notified Dr. Director of their intents. She had nodded and wished them a good and safe journey. Once the doors are secured, they head to the airport in a three vehicle convoy, seeing that the couples want some time to each other.

Upon arrival at the airport, they are shown to a private jet, provided courtesy of the Nakasumi Toy Corporation. On board, they see Mr. Nakasumi and Miss Kyoko. They both smile and bow, with the vacationing team returning the bow.

Mr. Nakasumi then whispers into Miss Kyoko's ear and she translates for him. "Nakasumi-san is pleased that he could give you a lift to Los Angeles, Mrs. Stoppable. You and Mr. Stoppable are looking quite well."

Kim smiles and says, "Thank you for the lift, Mr. Nakasumi. And this time, we'll be landing, not parachuting. Even after Ron had gotten hurt. In any case, I'd like to introduce you to our friends. Norman and Jane Tuttle, Hirotaka and Bonnie Rockwaller."

Mr. Nakasumi then clears his throat and asks, "Any relation to Lonnie and Connie Rockwaller?"

Bonnie nods and says, "Yeah, they're my sisters." Taken aback, she then asks, "You mean you actually speak English?"

"Oh yes, quite fluently. I just like whispering in Miss Kyoko's ear."

Miss Kyoko says, "He's, how do you say, a little wacky."

Norman clears his throat and says, "A little wackiness never really hurt anyone. It's a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Nakasumi."

"The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Tuttle. It's not every day a successful businessman meets a Government Engineer. One that's on vacation, that is."

Nervously, Norman stammers. Ron sees this and jumps in. "Just how much do you know about us anyway, Mr. Nakasumi?"

"I am in constant contact with Dr. Director. You see, I'm a deep cover operative for Global Justice. The company is real enough, but my job with GJ is to evaluate any and all teams. So far, you are passing with flying colors. She had just briefed me about you guys last week. It just so happens I enjoy making toys with the company."

In shock, their jaws drop down to the floor and they recover them in time to hear his laughter. He then says, "Worry not, Team Hawk. Miss Kyoko is a GJ operative as well."

Norman sighs and says, "So much for my dream."

Miss Kyoko softly smiles and says, "Worry not, Mr. Tuttle. In time, your dream will come true. The spirits tell it so."

Norman nods and replies, "Thanks, Miss Kyoko."

Mr. Nakasumi then asks, "Why were you so concerned about your dream, Mr. Tuttle? Was it because of Agent Du?"

Norman nods and says, "I remember one thing that Jesse told me the first time we met. He said that he doesn't trust Feds, because you never know whose side they're on. That was on the day that he had gotten hurt. Matter of fact, I even brought the video of his last performance on a Police motorcycle. And believe me, when I say performance, I mean performance."

He brings out the tape and Mr. Nakasumi nods for Miss Kyoko to put it in. When they're all comfortable, Miss Kyoko starts the tape. They are then treated to the sounds of the 'William Tell Overture' and see a Police officer wearing a red cape and a Star-Spangled Banner helmet. They can't help but laugh at the absurdness of the way Jesse was dressed. They all then hold their breaths as Jesse makes the jump over four Squad cars. It was then after Jesse touched down safely that the tape ends.

Mr. Nakasumi then says, "I see now why the Government wanted Officer Mach. But, how did young Mr. Stoppable wind up on the project?"

Bonnie grins and replies, "It was me. I recommended Ron for the project. After all, it just wouldn't be right for a teen to quit crime-fighting after suffering an injury like that. And besides, once a hero, always a hero. Kim should be very proud of him. I know I am."

At that, the plane is in silence as they think about what Bonnie had just said. Kim then slowly starts nodding, saying, "If Ron hadn't saved us the first time at Camp Wannaweep, I wouldn't have noticed his heroic streak."

Bonnie nods and adds, "I feel the same way, K." At that, she turns around and sees Ron fast asleep, along with Norman and the others. She then chuckles and says, "Looks like Ron found a good way to pass the time. I mean, he's got to be exhausted."

Kim nods and replies, "No doubt about that, Bonnie. No doubt at all." At that, the two young women take their places beside their respective spouses and fall fast asleep. As Kim nods off, she smiles softly while Bonnie smiles her barracuda smile.

Mr. Nakasumi and Miss Kyoko watch them asleep and he softly says, "They're quite a team, aren't they? The world needs more people like them."

"It does indeed, Nakasumi-san. And yes, they are quite a team." At that, the two operatives for GJ nod off after getting comfortable.

Norman wakes up two hours later and sees a blank piece of paper. He then decides to wait until Mr. Nakasumi has awakened so he could ask permission. So he merely contents himself with examining the plane's interior. He soon sees a picture of Miss Kyoko and Mr. Nakasumi standing with Ron and Kim. He then realizes that he was one of the first people that they had helped in the past.

As he looks around, he's startled when he feels a hand on his shoulder. Slowly turning his head, he sees Miss Kyoko with a smile on her face. He then says, "I never realized just how important Kim and Ron are to Mr. Nakasumi. He was one of the first people that they had helped, wasn't he?"

"Indeed he was, Tuttle-san. You have the look of someone with something on his mind. If you unload your burden, you won't be so stressed."

Norman looks over at Jane and says, "Her son's birthday is coming up soon and I want to build a special go-cart for him." Miss Kyoko smiles, goes to a desk and brings out some paper.

She then says, "Any design would work, Tuttle-san. I know of Felix's condition as Mr. Nakasumi and myself had met them during the abduction spree by the BeeBees."

"Really? Where at?"

"The belly of Thunderbird 2. We met Lonnie, Connie, Felix, Tara, Monique, Joss, Wade and Ms. Rockwaller. Along with several other world leaders."

Norman grins as he thinks about what Miss Kyoko had just said. He then sighs, sits down and starts drawing on the paper, softly speaking as he does so, hoping to not spoil the surprise for Felix.

"Let's see. Hand controls on the steering wheel, possibly some cyber-robotic components to equal his chair and possibly to assist with emergencies. A roll cage, just in case of a rollover. After all, it wouldn't do for little Norman to lose his Father due to a go-cart crash." At that, he keeps mumbling and drawing until he gets done. Nodding in satisfaction, he turns the paper around for Miss Kyoko to examine.

She smiles widely at the sight of it. Wings and jets to jump over obstacles, such as stalled carts or pile-ups on the track. A roll cage that can be removed for easy loading of the driver and secured using bolts. And, of course, lights if he wants to race at night.

Miss Kyoko smiles widely at Norman and replies, "I'm sure Felix-san would love it, Tuttle-san. Is there anything else you need?"

Norman ponders and snaps his fingers. He replies, "I need to call Commissioner Altobelli before we land. How far out are we?"

"One hour to go, Tuttle-san. The pilot has learned of massive cloud coverage in the Los Angeles area. So he has elected to slow the plane down until he gets an updated report from the Terminal." Norman nods as Miss Kyoko hands him the phone.

He dials the number and hears a familiar voice.

"Los Angeles Police Department, Commissioner's Office. Rachel Adams speaking."

"Rachel, it's Norman. Is Commissioner Altobelli around at the moment?"

"Norman! How good it is to hear your voice again! Just a moment and I'll patch you into his line."

The exchange takes less than a minute when he hears Altobelli's voice. "Norman, how soon are you going to be out here? Jessica's been bouncing off of the walls since we came back from our outing to Jesse's grave and his favorite fast-food spot. If I didn't know any better, I'd say she's seriously psyched over meeting you and the team."

Norman chuckles and replies, "My team's the same way, sir. Matter of fact, I'm kinda psyched as well. As to your question, we should be there in an hour. It's a jet belonging to the Nakasumi Toy Corporation."

"Wow, I didn't know your team ranks such privileges. How do I sign up?"

Norman chuckles and replies, "Actually, it's more like a favor. You'll understand when you meet my team, Leo."

"Looking forward to it, Norman. I'll have a van waiting for you upon arrival and I will personally be there to greet you and your team. Jessica, Rachel and Sandy will be there as well. I think Sandy intends to give you a massive hug."

Norman snickers and says, "Somehow, I don't think my wife would appreciate it." At that, Altobelli starts laughing. The two men then swap a tip or two. They then end the conversation on a light note.

Altobelli says, "At least you won't have to worry about your team being called into action any time soon."

Norman replies, "Let's hope it stays that way, Leo. Let's really hope for that much. My team has been through so much insanity, it's nuts."

Altobelli laughs again and answers, "I'll bet it has, Norman. See you at the Airport."

45 minutes later, the jet has touched down on the tarmac. Ron, Kim, Bonnie, Hirotaka and Jane all wake up from the sound of the tires striking the tarmac. Jane looks around and sees Norman chatting with Mr. Nakasumi. She then smiles warmly as he shows Mr. Nakasumi his drawing for a go-cart for Felix. Mr. Nakasumi then bows, with Norman returning the bow.

Ron pats his pocket and says, "Rise and shine, Rufus." Rufus pops his head out of the pocket and rubs his eyes, indicating that he had slept comfortably inside Ron's pocket, like he usually does.

Bonnie asks, "How can he stand being in your pocket all the time, Ron? I thought there were cages for naked mole rats."

"Nah, I'm not a cage guy, Bonnie. Besides, he likes it in there. Don't you Rufus?" Rufus nods his head and bounds over from Ron's shoulder to Kim's, giving her a nuzzle on her cheek.

Kim giggles and says, "Glad to see you too, Rufus." At that, Bonnie starts giggling and then laughing when Rufus leaps from Kim's shoulder onto Bonnie's.

She strokes him on his head and says, "Thanks for making life memorable, Rufus." Rufus then bounds from Bonnie's shoulder onto Hirotaka's, giving him a deep bow.

Hirotaka returns the bow and says, "I'm glad to know you, Rufus-san." Seeing Jane and Norman are nearby, Rufus then hops from Hirotaka's shoulder over onto Norman's then Jane's shoulders.

At the same time, they say, "Rufus, you are a party animal." Rufus then bows to Mr. Nakasumi and Miss Kyoko.

Resuming his act, Mr. Nakasumi whispers into Miss Kyoko's ear. Miss Kyoko then says, "It was our honor to fly you and your human friends here, Rufus-san. Please, take good care of them." Rufus bows and winks, causing Miss Kyoko to giggle. He then scampers back into Ron's pocket.

At that, Team Hawk had arrived at Los Angeles on vacation. Or so it would be for the time being.
