Stealthed SHIELD Special Agent Kim Possible was hiding in the shadows amongst some cars waiting for a 'Fairy Tale' (as Fury had put it) to show.

'My sources told me that this 'Bad Hand' would possibly be here… with one of his Nightstalkers… on a mission. Maybe I can get him to help me find Ron… and find out what happened to my uncle!' '!' Kim thought as she saw…

A dark haired, athletic man in a Kevlar jumpsuit, wearing a bandana mask, carrying a knapsack in a heavily gloved right hand, walked out of the garage elevator…

Several Shadows slid across the floor towards him from different areas in the garage…

'This is just like the attack 3 years ago on the rig… they're STILL HERE!' Kim thought.

They merged together and rose before him as he switched the bag to his left hand…

A blue-white glow formed around his RIGHT…

The huge Shadow formed a mouth full of obsidian daggers…

A sigil erupted from his hand as the Shadow lunged at his head and…

Held it fast as two more Shadows slithered out and headed towards him on his six…

And an Emerald Bolt HIT one of the shadows causing it to SCREAM!

'What the hell? That CAN'T BE!' Kim thought.

The second Shadow stopped, retreated, rose from the floor, and turned its 'head' in HER direction.

Kim's hair rose on the back of her neck!

Kim's neck prickled with fear as the second Shadow headed towards her hiding place!

"I've got these Hand!" a woman's voice said as a barrage of emerald bolts turned the Shadows to dust, "Don't let the other one get away!"

"I'm on it!" the man growled. "!" "There's someone ELSE down here!"

Kim turned and ran from the shadow!

It leapt after her and snared her left foot!

"AAAHHHH!" 'COLD! SO COLD! WANNA SLEEP…'

"!" "Get off 'em…" Bad Hand ROARED as he formed a seal between his hands and sent a blast of energy into the Shadow that turned it to dust, "NOW!"

The dust drifted away from Kim's dazed form…

Bad Hand was STUNNED!

Kim gazed fuzzily at the man leaning over her…

A woman ran up… her eyes glowed green in the shadows…

"Are they ok?" she said as Bad Hand checked Kim for any signs of injury or contamination, "OH NO! YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME…"

"C'mon… They'll be down here ANY second…" Hand hissed as he picked Kim up in his arms.

"mmmhhh… cold…" Kim moaned. 'safe… feel SO safe…'

"Is she clean?" The Woman hissed as she formed a portal.

"Yeah… she just needs some rest… I'll take care of everything…" he said as they passed through the portal.

"!"

Kim Possible woke from a nightmare…

And found herself safely tucked in a canopy bed with the sun shining through the window!

'The last I remember… !' Kim ran her hands over her body and found she was intact… NUDE… but intact…

'How?'

"TWEET! TWEET!"

"Mmmggh… damn… cheery birds…"

Kim looked around the room and found it to be Tudor in décor. From what she could see through an open door the bath was Tudor Modern.

A crop top, capri's, a set of Shanghai silk lingerie, and a set of sneakers sat on a chair with a note on top!

Kim eased out of bed and read the note.

Your kit's a mess… I thought you'd be more comfortable in these…

BH

'He's real!'

Kim got up showered, changed and went into the hall…

To find a tall, quietly built man with a hairline network of facial scars, his dark hair tied back; leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face…

'He looks familiar…' Kim mused.

The man wore a glove on his right hand.

'?' Kim.

"It's nice to see you again Ms Possible." The man said as he took her hand and kissed it.

"Do I know you?" 'He sounds familiar TOO!'

"Think about it…"

"…"

"…"

"!" "Ron?"

"Took ya long enough… KP." Ron Stoppable/Bad Hand said.

An overjoyed Kim Possible ALMOST broke Ron's neck as she hugged him.

"OW!" Ron.

"sorry… !" "SMACK!"

"WHAT'S THAT FOR?" Ron said as he rubbed his face.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? WE'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK!"

Ron's smiling eyes got a wolfish glint in them.

"I'm Bad Hand… after being treated as anything but 'Ron'… I left… and went back to school…"

"School?"

"Yeah… I got trained by… The Defenders…"

"The Defenders?"

"Yeah… It's a group that Dr Strange formed… they deal with crap like the Shadows you saw in the garage…"

"Your folks…"

"I know… I was at the funeral… paid for it even."

"Where?"

"I used a glamour and sat three rows behind you guys…"

"I didn't see you… Wait… You… Ronald Dean Stoppable… Know how to use MAGICS?"

"Yeah… Strange, Moondragon, and some others showed me how to use the Power as a bridge to Enlightenment… and other things…"

"So the Nightstalkers are real."

"Yep."

"And the legend of the Merc known as Bad Hand… is that true too?"

"Uh…" Ron sheepishly rubbed the back of his head, "yeah."

"So you're the Merc that broke The Hand's slavery racket… the Merc that destroyed HYDRA's link to the Kingpin… The Merc that helped a little girl get her parents back when AIM kidnapped them… not because they were heavies in their field…"

"But because AIM made her feel helpless and alone… yeah… that's me… Her name's Annie Hudson. I get a birthday invite every year… her folks are pretty cool."

Kim STARED at this man that had been content to just be her partner.

"Why didn't you return my emails?"

"I withdrew from everybody… I'd had enough of people… the shock… and it seemed like you were gone so long… after I left I kept an eye on you… but I figured you'd never want to see me again…"

"Ron I looked all over the WORLD for you… I wanted my Best Friend back…" 'LIAR!' Her heart cried.

"Sorry… Uh Kim… I…"

"Mornin' Princess, 'Scuse me."

A nude Sheila walked out of Ron's room, went into hers, collected some lingerie, and walked back into his room.

"!" SCARLET Kim.

'What the Hell?' Kim thought. 'He's got some 'Splainin to do!'

"Ron… why did… is Sheila…" Kim tried to say under the Wolf's eyes.

"…"

"Sheila's done her time Kim… by working for Bruttenholm… 'cause her family arranged it… it was either that or…"

"Or What?"

"Face Hellboy…"

"No."

"Yes."

"Uh who's…"

"Liz Sherman… they're twins…"

"…"

"Do you love her?" Kim asked Ron.

"Kinda Sorta…" Ron said as he stared at Kim.

"What The HELL Does That MEAN?" Kim.

"She got me back on my feet Kim… we've been there for each other… What are you REALLY asking?"

"Uh… (BEETROOT) Nothing…"

"The Great Kim Possible Can't Ask Her Former Partner A Simple Question. I guess not everything's possible for a Possible… Well just so you know… I DO STILL LOVE YOU, but I'm NOT gonna step on Sheila… She was here first, and deserves respect. We'll help you and then you're on your way. Capice?"

"BASTARD!" Kim SWUNG on Ron with a Haymaker. Ron ducked it and put up his Right arm!

"CLANK!" "… OW! OW! OW! OW!" Kim.

"…" Ron stood up and reached for her arm.

Kim flinched and backed off!

"Let me see it… could be broken." Ron.

"Get AWAY from ME!" Kim Glare.

"STOP BEING STUPID AND LET ME SEE YOUR DAMN ARM!" he roared.

Ron reached for her arm and examined it.

"Hmmm…"

Ron Looked at her with Wolf's Eyes.

"What are you doing? Stop it." 'No?'

"Stop What?" Wolf's Grin.

"it…"

Bad Hand Leaned In…

'SHIT… FUCKING BASTARD… MMMHH… HE'S A BASTARD… AND CAN KISS LIKE THIS!'

He ROUGHLY GRABBED her breast…

'I… ohh god…' Kim wrapped herself around Ron and melted…

"If you two are done I'd like to get my breakfast!" Sheila said with a humorous glint in her eye.
