In true Crow fashion it's just a short chapter to see if you all are interested. I've had this premise on my mind for a while and I hope you all enjoy it. I'll have a preview up for chapter two on pat r e on dot c om / Crow Jones later today. I already have the next few chapters of this story outlined and I also have the next two arcs of hidden affections in mind if there was anyone curious about the status of that.

"KP I'm telling the truth I need your help!"

"Will you stop making a scene Ron?"

The people gym did find it kind of awkweird when Ron burst through the door, but most of them quickly got back to minding their own business. Besides the few like Bonnie that wanted any gossip they could get. This fight looked juicy. Kim's little sidekick came in shouting about evil toys.

"Eric will you just give me one sec? After that we can dance." Kim said with a sweet smile

"Sure Kim, I'll be waiting."

Kim dragged Ron over to the punch bowl by his ear as he did his usual scream of discomfort. It was common so no one really paid it any mind. She snapped him in front of her and glared as if she wanted to set him ablaze. Scary.

"So you're telling me that my most prolific scheming villain took over Bueno Nacho, and is now using the toys you talked about hating, to take over the world. Except only you can see them." She waited for him to open his mouth to speak in confirmation of what he said then cut him off. "I have another theory."

"What is that KP?" Ron smiled hoping Kim saw something he didn't

"I think you're jelling. You didn't like Eric from the start."

"KP this isn't about…."

"I'm not finished!" she nearly yelled while whipping her hands to the side in front of his face "I think you can't handle that I actually had a date this year. I think you can't handle that maybe, just maybe this means there will be someone new in my life. You jelled on Monique just as bad when she came along. Well Ron, you're not going to ruin the most important night of my life with these childish games. I'll tell you again like I told you in the treehouse, It's time to grow up."

A few people near them winced as far as Ron could tell, he also heard a few damns in the crowd. He was hurt by what she said and the fact she thought he would go to these extremes just to ruin a date for her. He even saved a few of her dates before and went to the Amazon just to get a plant so she wouldn't disappear on her first date with Josh.

Realizing it was pointless he straightened out his slouching body and looked down at Kim. "Fine, I'll do it myself." Ron then walked back out the gym doors.

Kim stood around uncomfortably until Eric wrapped his arms around her midriff from behind. "Come on Kim, lets have the best night of your life."

Drakken and Shego

Shego was doing her nails waiting for party time. She was kind of disappointed actually. All this time they spent plotting, scheming, the fighting, all for Kim Possible to be defeated by her need for teenage romance. They recently got a call from Eric saying she's not going anywhere. By the time she would become aware that her sidekick was right it would be too late. This made it a great surprise when the scanners went off to tell them someone had entered the building.

"Is it Kim Possible?" Drakken said, a little worried. Things could go bad very quickly.

Shego looked at the screen. She saw Stoppable strolling through the hallways. He looked miffed but that didn't really matter to them. "No, just the sidekick."

Drakken gave a hearty laugh when he learned this. "Oh. Just send some henchmen."

Shego usually let him mess up, but not this time. When they were this close to victory. "He deals with henchmen all the time and he looks mildly serious. He can bumble his way through henchmen and maybe possibly find a way to to destroy the signal. We should send the old synthodrones. He can't bumble his way through that."

Drakken gave it some thought. On another day he might have ignored her worries, but she was right. She had quite the tactical mind for a bruiser. Which is part of why he picked her. "Very well Shego."

Ron

Ron was very aware that they knew he was there already so he just went through the front door. No use trying to sneak in. He never got any tech from wade that allowed him to disrupt scanners. Even if he got to the control room he would have to deal with Shego and the henchmen anyway. That sounded like loads of fun.

It was too quiet as he made his way through the building. Not even a janitor in sight. This more than confirmed it for him. No corporate office is going to be completely empty. Especially since it's not even midnight yet. He knew it was empty, and he knew he was being watched on the cameras, yet he felt like there was something closer. He heard a swing coming from behind him and ducked while elbowing whoever it was in the crotch. It surprised him when he heard absolutely no response until he looked up.

"Synthodrone."

He ducked a few punches then turned to run, only to bump into a second synthodrone.

"This tanks."

finding a way to deal with one would have already been an issue, but dealing with two? He ran through hallway after hallway but it wasn't really any use. Synths don't get tired. It doesn't matter if he has much more endurance than a normal person or not since these aren't people. Before he could think of anything he hit a dead end. Who designs a corporate office like this? He turned around and saw the synths stalking towards him. Welp didn't matter, there was no way past them. Although he then saw a white flash out of the corner of his eye.

As soon as it was there it was gone. Weird. He prepared to get restrained or knocked out by the synths continuing their advance but it never came to pass. One synth suddenly began to lose the form it held until it was only a puddle. Standing behind him was a female ninja clad in a white uniform, wielding daggers. She began her exchange with the second synth as Ron trailed off in thought.

It wasn't Kim, that was for certain. Kim had no reason to hide. Yori? No. Yori wears black as is traditional for yamanouchi. Who in the hell would come for him then? Were they actually here to help him or was it just a person trying to screw over Drakken? What would they do with him? His thoughts trailed off when a dagger punctured the synths chest.

"wow." were the only words Ron could form. Although he tensed up when they turned their attention towards him.

"Don't worry, I'm a friend." She said

Ron immediately recognized the voice but couldn't place it exactly. "Do I know you?"

The ninja huffed out a breathy laugh then began to remove her mask. Flowing blonde hair began trailing down her back.

"No way."

She looked at him with her brilliant blue eyes and smirked "Yes way."

"Tara!?."
