Two KPs.
Chapter Five.
November 3rd.
Marie A.K.A. Rogue was lying on her bed staring at the ceiling. Her mind wandered to a certain blond boy who lives about three doors down. He had powers that were infinite. She thought that somewhere in his vast wealth of powers, was a way to fix her problem. She was a mutant and proud of it. But with her gift came the curse of never being able to touch a person without sucking the sheer life essence from them. She would give anything to be able to hug a person for even a moment. But her pride held her back from asking him to alleviate her of her curse. She wanted to keep her powers, but she wanted to touch. Oh God, did she want to touch. "Screw this! I'm asking him." said the Goth girl as she left her room.

Ron was busy at work on leveling his character in City of Villains. His mastermind was busy at work killing several snake-like creatures. The level up noise came from his speakers. "Boo Ya! Level 20." said Ron as he played with his new stats. He heard a knock at his door, and was very surprised to find Rogue. "Hey, Rogue. What's up?" said Ron as he let the Goth girl into the room. She looked very nervous and was staring at her shoe laces. She looked up at Ron with very pitiful eyes; she bit her lip for a moment and swallowed her pride. "Ron, I need to ask you a question." said Rogue as she felt a tear sting her eye.
"You can ask me anything." said Ron not sure where this conversation was going.
"I want to touch." said Rogue in a meek voice.
Ron was taken aback by this. He knew that it was rough for her, both in asking that and going so long in life without being able to touch. "Are you sure you want this?"
"I want to keep my powers; I just want to be able to call upon them instead of it constantly going." said Rogue.
Ron touched her forehead with his hand and let his eyes roll into the back of his head. Rogue felt a sting all around her body then nothing.
"Touch me." said Ron as he looked into her eyes. Rogue was hesitant at first, and then she started to take off her glove. Her hand was shaking as she moved in to touch his face. She was shocked to discover that she could touch him. Rogue ripped off her other glove and grabbed him into a deep embrace. "Thank you." she said in a whisper as he kissed him on the cheek. Just as fate would have it, Kitty walked in.
"Ron, what is going on?" said Kitty giving her boyfriend the benefit of the doubt.
"It's not what you think..." said Ron before he got interrupted by Rogue.
"I asked him to make it to where I can touch." said Rogue as she pulled Kitty into a hug.
"Took you long enough, you stubborn girl." said Kitty as she let out a laugh. "Does this mean that you have no powers?"
"I'm not sure." said Rogue.
"Think about using it." said Ron as he touched her. Rogue thought about her power and felt the all too familiar tug as she drew Ron's power from him. She let go in a rapid motion and gasped. Ron was unaffected by the power drain. "Now you have a trigger for your power like each of us."
"Thank you." said Rogue.
"No problem, Marie." said Ron letting slip that he found out her real name.
"How did you know my name?" said Rogue.
"When you drained me I picked up some of your memories." said Ron as he blushed at a vivid image of Rogue in the shower. He was swiftly smacked by Rogue. "OWWW."
"I can guess what just popped into your head." said Rogue.
"I'll be a good boy." said Ron trying to defuse the temper of the southern Goth girl.
"I know you will. I'm just screwing with ya." said Rogue.

"But I really miss him. Can't I just call in a favor and fly to Bayville?" said Kim Possible to her tech friend Wade.
"You know that it's against our self imposed rules to use favors for such frivolous reasons. Besides, didn't Ron tell you that he'd be down for Christmas?" said Wade.
"Yeah. But I miss him." said Kim as she watched her friend roll his eyes on the small monitor of the Kimmunicator.
"One hundred and fifty six." said Wade.
"What?" said a confused Kim.
"This is the one hundred and fifty sixth time we've had this conversation. But we have something more important. The site just had a major hit. Drakken is after something big." said Wade as his fingers rapidly moved around his keyboard.
"He escaped again? What's the point in putting them in jail, if all they're going to do is escape?" said Kim as she rubbed her forehead in frustration.
"Because that's what we do." said Wade. "Your ride will be there in ten minutes. I'll brief you in the air. "
"Where am I going?" said Kim as she checked her backpack to see if she had a set of mission gear.
"LaGrange, Georgia." said Wade. "I've got to check on some information." said Wade as he logged off of the screen.

"Get away from me!" yelled Kurt as he bounded down the hallway.
"I just want to hug ya, lil bro." said Rogue as she chased after him. At this moment in time, she has hugged everyone in the mansion at least ten times. It's a rarity to see Rogue with a smile on her face. It's even more of a rarity to see her in a good mood. But right now her mood is so good that she's humming a happy tune and hugging people. Nothing could kill her mood, not even the time she ran up to Evan and surprised him. He nearly impaled her with a bone spear. All of this was because of a certain blond boy. I have to find a really good way to thank Ron. I wonder if Kitty would agree to that. Thought Rogue as she pondered a way to thank him.

Ron was busy at the moment doing the one thing he does best. Ron has nearly taken over the kitchen during the three months that he has lived at the mansion. Right now he was busy at making dinner for everyone. He was putting the finishing touches on desert, when he felt two hands cover his eyes. "Guess who." said a sultry voice.
"Kitty?" said Ron.
"Yup. Whatcha making?" she asked sounding like a three year old.
"Banana pudding." said Ron as he sprayed a layer of whipped cream on top of the pudding.
"Mmmm good." said Kitty as she ran a finger along the whipped cream and took a lick. She let out a demur giggle as she watched her boyfriend gulp at the sight of her licking her finger.
"You keep that up and I'm going to wind up doing something beyond just making out." said Ron with a wolf-like look.
"You can't take advantage of the willing. Besides that will be a very important moment in our lives." said Kitty.
"I know, that's why my subconscious is getting a really good workout." said Ron with a smirk as he pulled her into an embrace and gave her a very deep kiss.
Scott walked in to get something to drink and immediately did a 360 and walked out of the kitchen. Rogue walked in after Scott, and went up to them. "Kitty, I need to ask you a question." said Rogue. She leaned in and whispered in Kitty's ear. Kitty turned red for a second and then replied.
"Sure, but I get to go first." said Kitty. Ron got a confused look on his face and then was in complete shock when Kitty laid a deep soul burning kiss, followed immediately by Rogue. His eyes rolled into the back of his head and he passed out.
"I killed him!" said Rogue as she put her hands to her face about to cry.
"No, he's just in shock." said Kitty with a smirk.
"He'll be OK then?" said Rogue.
"Yeah, just expect him to blush around you for the next couple of days." said Kitty as she watched Rogue snicker and start full blown laughing.

"Drakken has stolen codes for several nuclear missile silos." said Wade. "He now has access to our nuclear arms."
"That means that we are all going to die if the world is not handed to him." said Kim in shock. She was used to hair brained schemes from the mad doctor. But this was downright evil.
"His base is heavily fortified. Beyond just a few hired goons." said Wade. "You're going to have to go in through the sewer."
"Ewww. But if I must." said Kim shuddering at the thoughts of all the creepy crawlies down there.
"Ms. Possible, the drop point is coming up." yelled the pilot as he opened the bomb bay doors.
"I'll get more info when I get to the ground." yelled Kim as she shut down the Kimmunicator.

Kim headed inside after getting the layout for the complex. She made her way through the vent system until she reached Drakken's command center. She watched Drakken move around his vast network of computers, punching in random bits of data. A small beep alerted him to her presence. Kim couldn't remember anything beyond that because a small jet of gas spewed forth from hidden nozzles around her in the ventilation shaft. She was out before she could blink.

After Ron woke up from his kiss induced coma, he asked Kitty. "Why did Rogue just do that?"
"She wanted to thank you for all you have done for her." said Kitty with a smile.
"You're not mad that another girl kissed me?" said a confused Ron.
"No, because it was a one time thing. Rogue's got the hots for Gambit. So I'm not worried in that respect." said Kitty.
Ron still confused said. "Girls are the second most confusing thing in the universe."
"What's the first?" asked Kitty.
"VCR set up manuals. Have you ever tried to decipher one of those?" said Ron with a smile.
"I've got to know this, Ron. Who's the better kisser, me or Rogue?" asked Kitty when she realized that Ron was OK.
"You, Rogue's too inexperienced at it. But you do that thing with your tongue." said Ron not noticing that Logan walked in as he was saying that.
"I'm going to ignore that comment, boy. You've got a call from some guy named Wade. He said it was a level green sitch. Whatever that is." said the burly man as he grabbed a root beer from the fridge.
"Oh no! Kim's in mortal danger." said Ron as he rushed to get the phone.

"What happened?" said Ron as soon as he picked up the line.
"Kim's been captured by Drakken. He's gone even madder than before. He has codes to all of the nuclear arms in the United States. Kim went in to bring him in, but she was knocked out and stripped of her gear. I know this because of this message that they sent." said Wade as he hit play on the madman's message.
"Tech guy and Buffoon. We've got Kim Possible in our clutches. Just thought you'd like to know, toodles." Then Wade came back on.
"She's in Georgia. Ron, we need your help." said Wade with deep emotion in his voice.
"I'll be there just as soon as I can." said Ron as he hung up the phone.
Ron rushed to the Professor's room and told him what was up.
"I'll be back as soon as I can." said Ron.
"Wait. You're a part of this team now. You don't have to do this alone. Kitty and Kurt will come with you." said the Professor.
"Yes, oh and can we borrow the jet?" asked Ron.
