AN: Well folks I'm back again. I'm working hard to get this finished, but I've got soe many distraction, online gaming, web comics, hanging out, you know some real important stuff here :).

Anyways I know I said it before, many chapters ago, but this fic is coming to an end soon, but is this no way the end of the story.

Also I'd like to go an record that I am a bad reader. I have probably misread some of the reviews I got last chapter and replied to them with the wrong information. I do apoligize for my flaw

With that out of the way back to the fic.

Bonnie sat in her room staring at her hand.

"What did you think you were doing?" she said softly to herself. She turned over to see her old stuffed rabbit lying on her bed. "This is all your fault," she told it.

Thoughts of last night rolled through her head.

"I hope I never see him again," said Bonnie, expressing her dislike toward Ron.

"I'm sorry to hear that," replied Xavier

"Are you still there,' asked Bonnie after a moment of silence. "Hello?"

He was gone, no longer in her thoughts. She looked down finding Mr. Rabbit laid out on the floor. She picked him up and stared into his beaded eyes

Xavier was right Bonnie did know the torment he was going, scared and unsure of what was happening. Then she remembered what Logan had told her, about how long she could hide what she is. After all she discovered what Ron was so quickly, how long before they figure out her secret. If they find Ron, they could find her.

She let out a deep sigh of frustration. She couldn't let anyone figure out what she is no matter what, even if it means helping Ron. But she didn't know where he was.

Suddenly an image of Bueno Nacho came to Bonnie's mind along with a familiar presence. She almost growled at it, Xavier hadn't left but he remained close by.

Setting down the stuffed animal, Bonnie shut her eyes beginning to hate herself for what she was about to do. The next thing she found herself doing was leaping from rooftop to rooftop making her way to Bueno Nacho. Admittedly, this was the first time she ever willingly used her abilities for anything. Her clothing was spared from the transformation being very loose fitting.

Finally, she managed to get onto a rooftop over looking Bueno Nacho. She heard a blitzing sound before she could look. When she looked, she saw Ron and someone laying on the ground nearby, she also heard a third person. Suddenly a red beam come form the third person hitting Ron. She watch as the event unfolded between Ron and the boy with the red beam. Without the beam, the boy wouldn't have stood a chance against Ron.

Bonnie cowered behind the roof ledge wonder what she was doing there. Who in there right mind would face against a monster.

She heard the fight continue. She didn't flee in fear that Ron would see her and attack her again.

As she cowered, another form joined her. She saw a man in hidden by shadows, all she could make out was a large cape and a helmet over his head.

The man looked over to Bonnie and spoke to her in a resonating malevolent voice, "This is not your place child. Go home."

Bonnie was further entrapped by fear. She watched as the man turned to the fighting and raised an arm. She heard a new sound enter the fighting. Her curiosity was enough to get her to look over and see as a streetlight was ripped out of the concrete sidewalk. It flew over to Ron and wrapped itself around him.

Bonnie looked over to the man, his fingers were curled up like he was grabbing something. She saw his arm starting to shake like he was struggling. His other hand reach to help and it began shaking too. She looked closer at the man he was old and frail. Through the helmet, she can see the struggle on his face.

The sound of the fighting had died, but a new sound came, a voice calling out. Bonnie looked over the ledge to see this strangely familiar voice. She saw that someone had was approaching Ron, and calling out to him. She looked to discover it was Kim.

Bonnie didn't know whether to be afraid and mad at this. Kim now knows about Ron, how long before she finds out about her. Bonnie raised her had up without thinking, she felt some of the hard plates on her skin slightly rise up. Before she could go any further, the old man's hands suddenly dropped. She looked at him pulling her arm back. She say him breathing heavily, he seemed to be exhausted.

The man regained his composure and stood as high as he could, them he turned to her his cold eyes beaming into her.

"It is not time," he said. These words didn't seem to be directed at her, but thru her.

With nothing more to say, the malevolent man slowly rose into the sky disappearing into the night sky.

Bonnie was unsettled by the events that have happened over the past few days. Since her powers first emerged, she had kept it secret from everybody, to the point where she almost forgot she had them. In some cases, her powers had come out, like her encounter with Gill at Camp Wannaweep and the giant dachshunds in Bavaria . It was fortunate for her that her powers usually started changing her on her arms. They were covered up on both occasions.

Bonnie brought her little stuffed rabbit close to her and hugged it. How long before someone finds out about her secret, how before she can no longer hide it.

Ron stared aimlessly at the wall ahead of him. He had just been released from a mind trap, now finding himself back in the hospital, still in his bed.

He somehow remembered something he'd rather forget. He remembered what happened to Monkey Fist that night at Mount Middleton.

The savage beating he'd given Monkey wasn't why he wanted to forget, as frightening as it was. It was the unrestricted anger he felt that made him forget. It was an anger so great he stopped caring and would destroy anything in his way. He felt it every time he lost control, nothing was sacred.

Despite the unbridle rage Ron has not yet killed anyone. He somehow understands why. Somehow, he can feel what his victim is feeling. While as the beast, he can sense other people's emotion. Every time he felt the overwhelming fear from his victim, he was drawn back. It was like their terror was a line strong enough to pull him back to the surface.

"Ron," called out his mother. He didn't respond. "Ron? Ron? Ron!"

Finally, Ron snapped out of it when he felt someone shake his shoulder. He turned to see his mother.

"Are you all right?" she asked

"I… I don't know," replied Ron.

"How are you feeling son," came another voice from the other direction.

Ron turned to the other side to see his father, and then her looked down and replied, "I don't know… It's… I don't know. I'm just scared and confused."

"That is a perfectly natural response for what you have been thru," spoke another voice from the doorway.

The stoppable family turned to look finding a bald man in a wheelchair wearing a tan suit. Behind him was Mrs. Dr. Possible in her doctor's coat.

"You," spoke Ron softly immediately recognizing the man.

"I'm sorry, allow me to introduce myself," spoke the bald man. "I am Professor Charles Xavier. I am a psychiatrist. I've come at the request of Dr. Possible."

Mrs. Possible resisted the urge to look down at the man for his blatant lie, instead she smiled.

"You're not a figment of my imagination, are you," asked Ron?

"No," laughed Charles, "I am very real."

"Ronald," called his father.

Ron just turned away looking down at his lap pondering what has happened to him.

"I know this my seem sudden," spoke Xavier, "but I would like to speak with Ron in private."

Ron's parents just glanced over the Xavier, thinking of how sudden this came up. Then they glanced at each other wondering how the other felt on the matter, both felt the same, unsure. Finally, they looked at their son and the answer became apparent. Ron seemed to be inattentive, lost in a way as he blankly stared at his lap.

"We'll be outside," said Mr. Stoppable.

"I can take it from her Anne," said Xavier before moving himself forward into the room.

Stopped by the bed Xavier waited for Ron's parents to leave. He gave Mrs. Possible a reassuring smile before she closed the door.

"Try to prepare them for what's coming," said Xavier to Mrs. Possible as she closed the door.

Mrs. Possible, although it had been a while, learned to tell the difference from his voice and his thoughts, but it was quite obvious by his words that he had projected it into her mind. She paused briefly before closing the door.

There was a moment of silence As Xavier looked at Ron as his attention was on his own memories. Xavier could sense he was trying to make sense of everything that has happened in the last couple days, but he couldn't get the pieces to fit.

"I know you've gone thru a very troubling ordeal these last couple days," spoke Xavier.

More silence followed before anyone spoke again.

"I don't know what I am anymore," said Ron dejectedly still staring down at his lap.

"Don't be discouraged, Ronald. There is hope."

"What kind of hope is there for me? They say I'm a monster."

"They say there is a monster. They never said you were it."

"I know I am!"

"It doesn't have to be that way. I can help you."

"How?"

"I can teach you, show you how to take control of your abilities so that you don't have to be that monster."

Ron wanted to believe that what Xavier said was true, that he could somehow control this ability he had, but it was hard. After how hard he tried people still got hurt because of him. It was hard to forget especially since the attacks were so vivid in his mind.

Ron's head suddenly piped up. There was another presence in the room with them. One he was very familiar with and it was calling out to him. Although it wasn't a shout, it called out to him. Ron looked over to Xavier and saw what was calling out to him, standing on the bald man's knee.

"Rufus," called out Ron softly.

Rufus made an audible, "Hi." as he waved at Ron.

"How," began Ron, "they…"

"I asked Ann… sorry. Dr. Possible to bring him. Rufus has told me many great things about you," said Xavier before handing Rufus over to Ron.

Ron strained a bit as he accepted Rufus and placed him on his lap. The two stared at each other, Ron unsure what to say after all that has happened and Rufus gathering his thoughts to talk to his friend. Rufus started first by leaning a paw against Ron's body.

"I'm okay buddy," responded Ron.

Rufus backed up and let loose a glare of distrust toward him.

"Okay so I'm not okay. But what can I do."

Rufus suddenly pointed and Ron followed it looking upon Xavier.

"Rufus has spoken very highly of you," responded Xavier. "He is also very concern for your wellbeing."

"I don't know," stammered Ron. "I mean, I don't even know what's happening to me."

"You are going through change."

"Ain't that an understatement?"

"Perhaps 'change' wasn't the right word. You are evolving, becoming something different altogether, but still remaining as yourself."

"Isn't that an oxymoron, you know, putting two words together that mean totally opposites?"

"You can't keep running away," said Xavier trying to keep Ron on the subject at hand.

"I know, but…" stated Ron as he trailed off.

"I can help you, Ronald. You just have to want it."

"I do want help."

"All you need to do is ask."

Ron looked away for a second before looking down at Rufus.

"What do you think buddy?" asked Ron to pet companion. "Think he can help me?"

Rufus looked over to Xavier and gave him a scrutinizing eye. He scuffled over to the edge of the bed to get a closers look. Xavier couldn't help put smile at the pink rodent's observation. Rufus finally looked back at Ron and with a hearty smile nodded to him.

"Well if Rufus trusts yah I guess I can," said Ron to Xavier.

"You put a lot of faith in his opinion."

"He's one of my best friends. If you can trust you're friends than who can you trust?"

Xavier smiled again at Ron's wisdom. He truly was a kindhearted soul; hopefully he could overcome his ferocity that his powers have endowed him with.

"With that settled it time for the next step."

"What's that?"

"We tell your parents?"

"What!"

Ann Possible waited patiently outside Ron's hospital room with his parents. She was worried about Ron. She knew what would happen if Ron agreed to Xavier's offer. As much as she knew about her friend, she didn't want to see Ron go.

She looked up at Ron's parents seeing their concerns as they held hands.

"John, Pam," called Mrs. Possible. They looked at her with curious eyes.

"Ann," called out Pam.

"There is something you need to know about Ron. He's… going through some changes."

"What kind of changes?" asked Mr. Stoppable

"I think it would be better if Ron told. It may be something you might be ready for but, it's something you need to know."

"If it's so important why can't you tell us?" asked Ron's mother.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Believe me it would be best if you heard it from him." There was a moment where they stared at each other trying to trying to understand what was being said. "Ron's going to need your support. What ever he is going thru he will need you to be there for him."

"He is our son," spoke John boldly. "We will love him no matter what."

Ann just smiled at their devotion to their son.

Just then, a knock came from Ron's room.

Hours have past since Ron's talk with Xavier. Now, he sat in a wheelchair in Kim room, which just so happened to be right next door to his. He waited patiently, working his thoughts as Kim rested so that he can tell her with stumbling over his words. He needed rest himself but he wanted to be there when Kim woke up.

He felt obligate to tell her after telling his parents. After all the effort she went through to get him back, after all the adventures they had been through, he had to tell her.

Rufus sat on his lap as glum as Ron. He felt his blight and sorrow of all the events that have happened recently. He wanted to help, but he was just a small little animal.

They had lost all track of time as they waited but eventually Kim began to stir. Rufus was the first to notice. He looked at Ron but he still lost in thought. He acted on his own giving Ron same more time to think.

Rufus darted along, scurrying from Ron's lap to Kim's bed. He stared at Kim afraid of the next action he was about to do, patting her on the face. It was enough to wake her.

Kim blinked into consciousness. She shut them again as her brow wrinkled down. She sat up as her hand slowly reached over to hold her head. The throbbing pain she felt before was still lingering, though it had greatly subsided, it still bothered her.

"Kim," chirped Rufus gaining her attention.

Her eyes met with the pink wonder. He turned to Ron almost forcing her to do the same.

"Ron," she called softly after noticing him.

Ron was still within his thoughts. He hadn't heard Kim nor did he notice Rufus had left him.

"Ron," she called out again, this time loud enough to gain Ron's attention

"Kim," he called out as his eyes met hers.

AN: I think you all know whats going to happen next. You knew it was coming since the beginning. This will be the first time I've come up with a title before I've completed, or started with its chapterSo, next "Ron's Decision"
