Sorry for taking a while with this, but I'm trying to tie everything together and get ready for an ending. It's not coming easy. Let me know what you think of this chapter… thanks…

Disclaimer (again): I do not own the KP characters…

Sorry, no title for this one, can't think of anything…

Anne and the kids took James to the hospital, where she wanted some tests to be done. Kim and Ron sat in the visitor's area reading some magazines.

"Kim? I don't get this magazine. It's nothing but ad's…" Kim looked over and saw that Ron was looking through a copy of 'Cosmopolitan'. She immediately snatched it out of his hands.

"Ron, what are you doing looking at that? Here, read this." She handed him a copy of 'Highlights'.

"Hey! These are neat! I didn't know they were still in publication." He then began paging through the magazine, and Kim started to look through the Cosmopolitan she took from him.

Meanwhile in the exam room:

"What's all this for, Anne? What's going on?" James was sitting on the edge of an exam table without a shirt, paper crunching underneath him, and leads attached all over his body to read various bodily functions. Mrs. Dr. P. and a nurse were watching the results on a nearby screen.

"We're just checking you out to see if everything is OK. Tell me, what's the last thing you remember before we saw you earlier today?"

"Not much. It's all kind of a blank." He said furrowing his eyebrows. "It's almost as if parts of my memories are just… not there. The last time I remember seeing you though, you had on this VERY flattering silk teddy…"

"James! Not in front of the nurse." Anne chastised her husband as she blushed. "Well, that can rule out short term memory loss. I'd like to run a CAT Scan on your brain, just to make sure though."

"Whatever you say. You're the doctor."

"I'm still worried why you didn't recognize Kim or Ron. You surely remember Kim, don't you?"

"Aside from the fact that she looks a little like you, I feel like I've never met her. Nor that boy she was with. Nice kids though. Very polite." Anne walked over to her husband and began taking the leads off of his skin.

"There. Now put your shirt on, and we'll go schedule you an appointment for a CAT. I'm also going to get a room set up for you, so you can stay here for a few days. I'd feel better if you were here rather than anywhere else. Now stay here while I go check on that blood sample I took. They should be done with it by now, I would think." She glanced at her watch, wondering what could be taking so long, and headed to the lab.

Anne walked down the hall a ways, and pushed through the glass lab doors. "Johnson, I thought I said that blood sample was a rush job."

"We're sorry Dr. Possible." Johnson said. "We just wanted to double check a few things before we gave you the report. Here, look at this SET (scanning electron microscope) picture."

Anne looked at a fairly large screen, and she couldn't quite believe what she was seeing. "What are these green things here?" She said, pointing to what looked like a miniature blood cell, but with scilia (small hairy like legs) all around it. "They look they are… repairing cells?"

"That's what we thought too." Johnson spoke again. "Look at this." He handed her a printout.

"What in the world?" Anne exclaimed as her eyes scanned the page full of data. "According to this, he's virtually stopped aging?"

"We don't understand it either. Now you see why we hadn't contacted you yet? Look at this too Doctor." He said, pointing to a smaller graph. "According to this, his immune system is virtually perfect! He has no bacteria in him whatsoever! Quite astonishing!"

Anne walked out of the lab with more questions than answers. Instead of going back to James' room, she went over to the main desk and set up the appointment for his CAT, and located a better room for him.

"I better go update Kim and Ron." She said to herself and walked into the waiting area.

"Mom… is he… is Daddy OK?" Kim asked jumping up from her seat, and noticing the look of worry on her Mom's face.

"Yes, he's fine. We're just finishing up some tests. I just admitted him for a couple of days.

"Have you found out anything yet?" Ron asked. "I mean, how could he just come back to life like that? Both Kim and I saw him. There's no way…" He trailed off not finishing the sentence.

"We've found something strange in his blood. It doesn't seem to be hurting him though. It actually seems to be helping, even healing him."

"Really…" Kim said with a far off look in her eye.

"Kim? You getting an idea?" Ron asked when he saw the look on her face.

"Just a hunch. Has Daddy remembered us yet?"

"No, Dear. I'm sorry. I'll also set him up with a psychologist tomorrow. Maybe we'll get some more answers then too."

"I've got an idea." Kim pulled the Kimmunicator of her pant's pocket and keyed Wade.

"What's up Kim?"

"Wade, I'd like you to look at some of this data that the doctors here are getting from my Dad. Do you think you can look at it? Specifically the blood work?"

"Sure Kim. But I'm no Doctor. Have them send it to me whenever they can." Kim looked at her Mom, who was standing there listening to the conversation.

"I'll have them send it this evening." Anne said.

"You hear that Wade?" Kim asked

"Sure did. I'll let you know if I find anything. Talk to ya later." The Kimmunicator winked off, leaving the KP emblem on the screen.

"Why don't you two go home, and I'll be at the house later. OK? Here's some cash for a cab." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a 20.

Both went to Kim's house, and each said they're goodnights. Ron walked to his house, and Kim called the house where the twins were, saying they could come home.

Next day at the Hospital, Psychologists office:

"Do you know why you are here Dr. Possible?" Dr. Sharla asked her patient, sitting behind a rather large oak desk.

"I guess I've lost my memory, or something like that." He responded, sitting on a rather large over-stuffed leather couch.

"Yeah, something like that. Do you know what happened to you?"

"What do you mean?"

"About 3 days ago something tragic happened to you. Do you know what that was?"

"Three days ago. Let me see…" His face showed concentration. "I remember… I'm sorry. I j… just don't…"

"That's OK. What is the most recent thing you DO remember?" Dr. Sharla began writing notes on a pad of paper.

"It's kind of… personal." He replied, face blushing.

"Something with your wife?" She asked, prompting, even though she already knew the answer.

"Yes. She was wearing something very sexy…" He faded away, thinking about the memory, and a small smile formed on his face.

"You don't need to say anymore. I'm sorry to have intruded on your personal life. Now what about your children?"

"My… children? There's more than just this… 'Kim'… I was told about?" James truly looked confused.

"Yes." The psychologist said bluntly. "You also have twins, Jim and Tim."

"T… twins…?" Suddenly he looked like he was about to be sick.

"Would you like to lay down James? How about a drink of water?"

"Yes, please. Thank-you…" Suddenly his eyebrows furrowed together as if he remembered something.

"James…?" Dr. Sharla prompted. "Did you remember something?"

"Those… words. Please, and Thank-you. I used to tell someone to always say that. But I don't know who…"

"James, with your permission, I would like to try and hypnotize you, and try to get you to recall what you seem to have forgotten. Is that OK with you?"

"Yes, yes it is."

That after noon, just after cheer practice, Wade beeped Kim. "I think I found something Kim."

"What's that Wade?"

"You're not going to believe this, but I think somehow Shego brought your Dad back to life!"

"No way! You're right, I don't believe it!" Ron stepped up to her side just as Kim spoke.

"Don't believe what Kim?"

"Hang on Ron." She said, putting a hand up to stop him from talking. "Do you have anything to back that up Wade?"

"Just a grainy picture from a convenience stores security camera that was on the opposite corner of the mortuary. It picked up someone standing on the corner that looks a lot like her. Here, I'll show you."

A black and white picture came up on the small screen showing a figure standing under a street light. From the shape it was definitely a woman, but the person wore a long trench coat with a large brim hat that covered most of the face. Long black hair was draped over the shoulders. Wade hit play, and the street light went out as soon as the person started to move.

"Wade, play that back, but in slow motion. Can you zoom in on the street lamp about waist high?"

"I can try, but the focus will be terrible." Wade typed at his keyboard, and the image enlarged at the point Kim mentioned. No detail could be seen, just light and dark. Then without warning, a small flash appeared before the street light went out. "There!" Kim exclaimed.

"Now zoom back out, and watch that spot again, Wade." Sure enough, after watching that single spot on the short film, just before the light went out, the figure had placed a hand on the light post, and a very small flash of light appeared at that point. This confirmed that it was definitely Shego.

"I've got you a ride coming in 5 minutes, and a location on their hide-out. Looks like they've moved out of the time-share lair."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Well, well, If it isn't the Princess and her buffoon." Shego said as the two heroes showed up at their doorstep. Kim decided to just try the direct approach, and had rung the doorbell.

"Can it, Shego." Kim said angrily, and pushed past the Villainess into the lair, Ron on her heels. "We're here to talk."

"Talk? Yeah right! Little Miss Princess! You want something. What is it?"

"Where's Drakken… It concerns him too."

"He's not here. Now when are you leaving?"

"After we get some answers." Ron said. Shego warily looked at Ron, remembering what he had done in the time-share lair when she had tried to blast him.

"Answers to what? I haven't done anything wrong. Recently."

"Why did you do it Shego?" Kim asked angrily, and stepped towards her nemesis.

"Why did I do what? You know, Kimmie… you're trying to blame me for something I may not have done." Shego was starting to sound a bit nervous.

"You brought my father back from the dead. Why did you do it? HOW did you do it?" Kim was still advancing on Shego, who was slowly walking backwards. She finally noticed that Kim had backed her against a wall. She looked back at the wall when her heel hit the baseboard, and wondered when Drakken had put a wall there.

This is the first time anyone has ever backed me in to anything. Shego thought. Kimmie sure seems angry with m…

Suddenly Kim's forearm slammed Shego against the wall. "I want answers… NOW!"

"C'mon now, Princess. I thought you would be happy that Daddy Dearest was alive again.

"Yeah, I'm happy about that, but NOT about the fact that he doesn't remember me!" Kim's hand shot to Shego's throat, and began to squeeze. Shego started to gasp for air.

"Why don't you blast me with your powers, Shego? HUH?"

"I… (gag) Don't want to…"

"You don't want to what?" Kim said with even more malice in her voice than before.

"I… might… (cough)… kill y… you" Kim narrowed her eyes. That had never stopped Shego before now. "Also… (huff), I can't seem to light… (gag) my h… hands!"

"Kim…" Ron's hand landed on Kim's shoulder his voice calm.

To be continued…

Thought I would end this with a bit of a cliffie. What's keeping Shego from lighting her hands? Could Kim Kill Shego with her bare hands? And what kind of answers will we find out from James when he's put into the hypnotic trance?

Find out in the next chapter. Same Kim time, same Possible channel…
