The rockets in back roared to life sending the two teens careening forward and out of town. Ron saw a car approaching on the other side of the street, he ignored it as he kicked the engines into full power.
The heroes pulled up outside a fairly large structure near the outskirts of town. The building was several stories high and appeared about the size of a small factory. A large door beckoned entrance. The fact that it was open showed the truth. The two teens looked at each other. "You know it's a trap."
Kim flashed him a smile. "I'd hate to disappoint."
Ron grinned as they got off the scooter. The two teens walked slowly and deliberately toward the door. Each was weary but knew that together they'd be able to handle whatever was in the building. They passed through the portal into the darkness on the other side. A large metal gate slid into place leaving them in darkness. Ron chuckled nervously. "Like I said, a trap."
As he spoke, several spotlights turned on. The two teens were momentarily blinded before they heard the sound. As their eyes cleared up several figures in red suits moved silently towards them. Both of their eyes narrowed in hate, but only Ron voiced the thought that was on both their minds. "Syntho-drones."
Kim whipped out her grappling-hook and launched it through the chest of one of the synthetic warriors. She whipped it around dragging the drone with her.
Ron jumped over as the line headed his way. He barreled toward another drone and dove between it's legs. As it turned, it's head was blown off with a golden blast from Ron's hand.
Ron turned to find Kim and saw her being overwhelmed with drones. His hair started to lift into strange looking spikes as he watched his partner be attacked. He launched himself into the fray with a fury that would have scared Kim had it been directed at her. His leg whipped out and removed the head of a drone while he reached out and slammed another to the ground. With the sudden fury of blows as a distraction, Kim was able to launch herself off one of the drones and onto the shoulders of another. Her grappling-hook found a perfect target as several were lined up in a row.
It fired and impaled all but the last one in the line.
She leaped off and her leg connected to the chest of the missed target while Ron pummeled the drone she'd left behind. His hand went straight through it's abdomen and out the other side before he ripped it out and moved into a leg sweep.
Two syntho-drones dove toward him and he found himself supporting Kim as her legs flew outward and caught them both under the chin.
They found themselves back-to-back as they waited for another assault.
They kept an eye out for any movement as their separate communicators demanded attention. Ron pressed the button that activated the screen in his watch. "Not a good time Wade."
"Actually, it's the perfect time."
As soon as he said that lights started to switch on all over the building. Ron blinked in surprise as he saw punching bags, weight training equipment, and in one corner, what appeared to be an empty glass chamber.
Kim and Ron turned to face each other then looked at the smiling face on Ron's watch. "I'd like to be the first to welcome you to the Team Possible training and command center.
Kim seemed almost speechless at this declaration. Finally she managed to react. "What did you say?"
Wade let out a small abrupt laugh. "Welcome to Team Possible's new headquarters. Sitting just on the outskirts of Middleton and fully equipped for any type of training you can think of."
Kim looked around in fascination while Ron let out his feelings with just one word. "Badical!"
Kim found herself mentally agreeing with her boyfriend. "Wade, how? What happened?"
"We got an anonymous donation on the site to be used for a training center. I managed to stretch it by remodeling an old building."
Kim looked thoughtful. "Find out who he is."
Wade took a sip of his drink. "Already did it. The man is a respected, and very public figure known for his philanthropic work. He wants to remain anonymous and given his history, I plan on respecting his wishes."
Kim nodded silently. "Wade, this is just, incredible. Who designed it."
Wade smiled. "He donated the money. I designed the place. Wait till you see what's upstairs."
Kim and Ron looked around and saw a flight of stairs over to their right. The two walked up to the second floor and peeked into a room next to them. They stared in shock. The place was full of equipment. Parachutes, grappling-hooks, jet-packs, rocket skates, and things neither of them recognized lined the walls. "Boo-ya! This is awesome."
The two walked down the hall looking into room after room. Several appeared to be bedrooms. They walked down the hall again and looked into another room. It seemed to be some sort of workshop. Kim dragged Ron away from it before he could touch anything. They came to the last door in the direction they'd walked.
The two looked in it at the same time and the same thing came from both their mouths.
"Wade?"
"Wade?"
The tech genius looked at them smugly. "Hi guys."
Ron started to freak in astonishment. He pointed to the door and back to Wade all while stammering. "But you're, and you, not in your, and here, and why aren't you in your room?"
"I'm free. The court papers finally came through."
Kim's eye raised in surprise. "What court papers?" She lowered herself onto a chair. It was obvious she was taking this better than Ron, who still looked rather shell-shocked.
"Emancipation. I'm a college graduate who has several government contracts. I should not be living with my parents."
By this time Ron had quit his stammering and was busy poking the smaller boy in the arm. "So is this like some kind of android?"
Wade looked at him in annoyance. "No, I'm right here, and that hurts." Ron poked him in the arm one final time. "Will you stop that!"
"Eh, sorry. We haven't seen you since you attacked Team Impossible." Ron's mind drifted back to that little debacle and he released a small chuckle. "I can't believe you willingly left your room. I was starting to think only a system crash would get you out of there." Ron reached to shake Wade's hand. "Sorry about the poking. I'm still not used to seeing you in person."
"Okay, but keep your hands to yourself. So how do you like the place?"
"It rocks, but why didn't you tell me? Why'd you keep it a secret?" Kim's green eyes shone with interest.
"I wanted it to be a surprise. So, want the grand tour?"
Wade walked slowly down the hall in the direction Kim and Ron had ignored. "The whole place was payed for by the donation. Now check this out."
Wade opened a door filled with vehicles. Motorcycles, All-Terrain Vehicles, Snowmobiles, Jet-skis, and things Kim couldn't identify sat in the room.
Ron stared in shock.
Nobody made a sound for at least a minute. Wade smiled knowingly. "Everything we need for every climate and terrain in the world. Even out of this world." That was when he pointed to a series of lockers against the wall. "We've got Space-suits, courtesy of Middleton Space Center, and Scuba gear, even a mini-sub. If you need to go anywhere, we have the equipment. Now come on, I have one last thing to show you."
Wade led the way to the other end of the room where what appeared to be a slide led down to another floor. Without hesitating he jumped down and was closely followed by his friends.
Ron's jaw dropped and Kim followed suit. The most impressive object yet lay in front of their faces.
"Say hello to Team Possible's Hangar. Home of the newly built solar-powered jet. All those favors are a thing of the past. From now on, you're riding in style."
