Chapter 7: The Deep End
AN: Special thanks to Sabre for his edits.
It was 7:05 in the morning and Ron was just waking up.
"Good morning, KP, my most badical bride," Ron cooed.
But when he opened his eyes, he noticed that Kim wasn't next to him.
"Kim?" Ron asked.
He sat up and noticed that she wasn't in the bedroom.
"KP?" he called again.
He soon heard the sound of vomiting coming from the bathroom.
Ron ran out of the bedroom and looked over at the bathroom to see Kim coming out.
She looked really sick; her skin was slightly pale and her eyes were baggy. She looked like she was having trouble walking.
Ron was horrified at this, "Kim, are you ok?"
"No," Kim said, weakly.
She started to stumble, before Ron caught her.
"I got you!" Ron said.
He quickly brought her over to the couch and sat her down. She laid her head back on the couch.
"KP, what's happening to you?" Ron asked, worriedly. "Are you sick?"
"Yes," Kim answered weakly. "I first noticed it when I threw up just now."
Ron looked at her poor wife. Then a thought came into his head.
"We need to call Wade, right now," he said urgently.
He immediately found his Kimmunicator and quickly beeped Wade.
"Hey, Ron, what's up?" Wade answered.
"Wade, we have a major sitch!" Ron spoke with urgency in his voice. "Something is really, ferociously wrong with Kim!"
"What's wrong?" Wade asked, sounding worried.
"I'll show you," Ron said.
He pointed his Kimmunicator screen at Kim so Wade could see her.
"Oh, my goodness!" Wade said, horrified. "Kim, are you ok?"
"No," Kim said, meekly.
"I don't know what's happening to her," Ron explained. "She wasn't like this until this morning. I heard her throw up before she came out of the bathroom like this."
"Quick!" Wade said, urgently. "Let me scan her so I can isolate the cause of what's happening to her."
Ron held the Kimmunicator up to Kim before it sent out a blue beam that went down her body.
"Ok, done," Wade announced. "Just give me a few minutes to analyze this."
Ron put the Kimmunicator down and looked at Kim.
"I'd better get you some water," Ron said.
He ran over to the kitchen, grabbed a glass cup and poured water from a pitcher into it, and brought it over to Kim.
"Here, KP, drink this," Ron offered.
Kim smiled as she lifted up her arm and took the water from Ron's hand.
She then started gulping the water down like it was nothing. Ron was amazed and relieved that Kim still had enough strength to drink a whole cup of water that fast.
As soon as she finished the water, she handed the cup back to Ron.
"Thanks, Ronnie," Kim said with a grateful smile.
"Anytime, my most badical bride," Ron said with a smile.
"Oh, my gosh," They heard Wade say.
"What's you got, Wade?" Ron asked.
"It looks like Kim has been… poisoned somehow," Wade explained.
"Poisoned?!" Kim and Ron said in unison.
"How?!" Ron asked in disbelief.
"The data from the scan indicates that Kim has been contaminated with a large dose of snake venom," Wade continued.
"Snake venom?!" Kim blurted out in disbelief.
"But that much venom at once could kill Kim!" Ron said in horror.
"And I know why it hasn't," Wade said. "It seems the effects of the venom have been slowed by pollen from the Polaris Orchid flower."
"And I'm guessing this flower is different from the one that almost made Kim literally fade from existence?" Ron speculated.
"Yes," Wade confirmed. "When used in the right way, the pollen from this flower can be used as an antidote for most poisons. But there is only a small concentration of it inside Kim, which is why it is only slowing down the effects of the venom."
"But how is this venom inside me to begin with?" Kim asked.
Ron thought of something and went wide eyed.
"Uh, Kim?" Ron said getting Kim's attention.
"Yes, Ronnie?" Kim asked.
"You said you were feeling drowsy last night, right?" Ron asked.
"Yes, right after we came home from Italianos," Kim answered.
"Someone must have gotten you to eat or drink the poison while we were at Italianos!" Ron realized.
"And whoever did it must have engineered the poison so that it would only make Kim sick, not kill her," Wade speculated.
"Talk about an insane plan!" Ron commented. "And it's also sick and wrong!"
"Who could have done that?" Kim asked in disbelief.
"Well, there was something strange about that waitress who handed us our drinks," Ron pointed out. "She had my monkey senses going off."
"You think it was that waitress who poisoned me?" Kim said.
"I'm not sure, but I'm just saying she might be," Ron said.
"I'll do some digging to find out who poisoned Kim," Wade announced.
"Good, Wade," Ron spoke, before scowling. "I want to find out who did this to Kim so I can make them pay!"
"Ron?" Kim said worriedly.
"Also, find a doctor that can help Kim," Ron ordered. "She needs medical attention pronto!"
"Ok, I'll call Doctor Director, see if she can have someone whip up a cure," Wade announced. "What are you gonna do?"
Ron sighed, "I have to stay here and take care of Kim. There is no way I'm leaving her side while she's in this condition."
Kim smiled at what Ron just said.
Wade nodded, "Ok. I'll contact Dean Princeton and let him know you and Kim won't be coming into school. I'll also contact the rest of the team to let them know you two won't be coming into the school and to tell them to be ready for anything. Between this and that microphone something tells me that someone is out to get you too."
"No kidding," Kim commented.
"Thanks, Wade," Ron said, gratefully.
"I'll let you know what I find," Wade announced. "Wade out."
Ron sighed and turned to Kim, "Don't worry, Kim. No matter what, I'll always be by your side. I'll do everything I can to help you get better."
Kim smiled even more as tears came pouring down her face, "Thank you so much, Ronnie! I don't know what I would ever do without you."
Ron smiled, "I will always be here for you, KP. No matter what."
The two embraced in a hug.
On Senior Island, Junior was sitting in his room staring at the small box he had in his hand. He was hoping that soon his father and Gemini and their informants would discover where Bonnie had been hidden.
"Junior," Senior said as he came into the room.
"Yes, father," Junior responded.
"It's time," Senior said with a serious face.
Junior gasped, "You mean-"
"Yes," Senior confirmed. "The time has finally come to rescue Bonnie."
"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Junior said, repeatedly.
He got up from his chair and hugged his father gratefully.
"Ok, ok," Senior said. Junior then pulled away before Senior continued. "But we have to move quickly. First, we're going to meet Gemini's men at WEE Headquarters so they can take us to where Bonnie is."
"Well, then no time for dilly-dallying," Junior said, excitedly. "Let's go save Bonnie!"
Senior nodded, "We will, Son. We will."
Tara, Hope and Monique had arrived at school. They had heard about what happened to Kim and were horrified that something like that would happen to her. As they walked through the hallway, they conversed.
"I can't believe this!" Tara said in disbelief.
"I know," Hope added. "First, someone spies on Kim and Ron now someone poisons Kim?"
"That's going way off the deep end," Monique commented with a scowl. "I ought to find whoever's doing this and just give them a fist right to the face."
"Me too," Hope said, equally as angry.
"Hey, guys," A new female voice was heard.
The three turned to see Emma and Alexa walking up to them.
"Oh, hey Emma. Alexa," Tara greeted.
"Where are you headed?" Hope asked.
"Oh, we were just going to the music room to practice some of our Irish dancing routines," Emma replied.
"Cool, so are we," Tara added.
"Hey, where are Kim and Ron?" Alexa asked.
Tara, Hope and Monique looked at each other nervously.
"Kim and Ron aren't coming into school today," Tara answered.
"Why not?" Emma asked.
"Because Kim is really sick," Hope answered.
"She's sick?" Emma asked.
"Yeah, but that's not all," Monique spoke. "Wade said that Kim might have been poisoned."
"Poisoned?!" Emma and Alexa gasped in disbelief.
"Yep," Hope said. "Kim and Ron think that someone might have gotten Kim to drink the poison while she and Ron were at Italianos last night."
"And the effects didn't get to Kim until this morning," Tara added.
"But who would do such an awful thing?" Alexa asked in disbelief.
"We don't know," Hope spoke. "But Wade is doing some digging to find out who did it."
"I hope Kim gets better," Emma spoke.
"And I hope whoever poisoned Kim is found and brought to justice," Alexa added.
"Oh, trust me," Monique chimed in. "Wade isn't going to rest until that is done."
"And I bet Ron won't go easy on them either," Hope chimed in.
"Not even close, girl," Monique agreed.
Unaware to the girls, Giselle was listening in on everything they were saying.
She smirked as she walked away.
"Well, we'll see you later," Emma spoke.
"And tell Kim we hope she feels better soon," Alexa added.
"We will," Tara assured.
Emma and Alexa then walked away.
"Hey, girls," Another familiar voice came from the other direction.
The girls turned to see Shea walking over to them.
"Shea?" Tara said in surprise.
"What are you doing here?" Hope asked. "Not that we're complaining."
"Oh, I applied for a teaching job here," Shea answered. "And me and Drew are going to be moving into a townhouse here in Burbank."
"You are?" Monique said in surprise.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Hope asked.
"Well, we wanted to surprise you," Shea answered. "And I bet Kimmie will be very surprised to hear that she'll probably have me for a teacher, again."
Tara chuckled nervously, "Yeah, I bet she will."
"Speaking of which, where is Kimmie anyway?" Shea asked.
"Um…" Tara said, nervously.
"Well, you see…" Hope said.
Shea's face turned serious, "What's wrong?"
"She's really sick," Monique blurted out.
"What?!" Shea said in shock. "How did that happen?"
"Well…" Tara started to say.
Back at Kim and Ron's apartment, Kim was sitting on the couch waiting for Ron to bring her some soup. After Wade had contacted Dr. Director and told her that Kim had been poisoned, she sent a medical officer right away to give her an antidote. After that, Kim was feeling a little better than she was when she woke up, but it would still be a little while before the antidote fully eradicated the poison. Because of that, Wade insisted that Kim not go on another mission until she was all better. As much as Kim wanted to object, she knew Wade was right. She also knew that if another mission had come up, the rest of the team would handle it.
Since then, Ron had been doing everything he could to take care of his wife.
Just as Kim was about to call to Ron, he soon came up to Kim with a bowl of chicken noodle soup.
"Here you go, KP," Ron announced as he put the bowl of soup on a tray in front of Kim.
Kim smiled, gratefully, "Thanks, Ronnie."
"So how are you feeling?" Ron asked.
"I'm feeling fine," Kim answered. "Better than I did just a little while ago."
"That's great to hear," Ron said.
"But it'll still probably be a while before I can go on missions again," Kim groaned.
"You heard Wade," Ron pointed out. "You can't go on missions in your condition. And this time you're not gonna disobey him."
Kim raised her eyebrow, "Name one time I went on a mission while I was sick."
"Well, there was the time when Drew sprayed you with that mist that literally made you fade from existence every time you got embarrassed," Ron pointed out. "Then there's the time when you caught a cold from the tweebs-"
"Ok, Ron, I get it, I'm sorry," Kim said with her hands up. "I just hope that the rest of the team will be able to handle missions without us."
"Don't worry, they will," Ron assured. "And no matter what, I will always be by your side helping you get better."
Kim smiled and started tearing up, "You are so sweet, Ronnie. I don't know what I'd ever do without you."
Ron smiled and leaned in and kissed his wife. Kim returned the kiss with all the passion she could muster.
After breaking the kiss, the sound of beeping was heard from Ron's Kimmunicator.
"What up, Wade?" Ron answered.
"Guys, you're not gonna believe this!" Wade said with a serious face.
"What's the big, Wade?" Kim asked.
"Kim, I found out who poisoned you," Wade announced.
Kim and Ron's eyes widened.
"You did?" They said in unison.
"Yes, I dug through some footage taken the night Kim was poisoned," Wade explained. "And you're not gonna believe what I found."
Wade showed a video of a waiter walking by the kitchen, before he was pulled in, and a new waitress walked out in the waiter's place. The video also showed the waitress putting something into Kim's drink before walking over to Kim and Ron's table.
"Could that thing that waitress put into your drink be the poison?" Ron wondered aloud.
"It's gotta be," Kim suspected.
"So it was that waitress who poisoned you, Kim," Ron speculated. "I knew she had my monkey senses going off."
"But why would that waitress want to poison me?" Kim wondered aloud.
"Funny you should ask that," Wade said. "There's actually more I wanted to show you."
"There's more?" Kim said in surprise.
"Yeah, and you're not gonna believe this," Wade said. "Take a look."
Wade showed footage of the waitress walking to the back door, waiting to see if anyone was looking and then taking off her apron. Then to Kim and Ron's shock she reached up and pulled off her hair like it was a wig revealing long black hair and took off her sunglasses revealing a familiar face.
"Giselle?!" Kim and Ron said in utter shock.
"I'm afraid so guys," Wade groaned.
"Giselle is the one who poisoned me?!" Kim said in total disbelief.
"First Giselle tried to get under our skins; then she insulted Shea; and to top it all off, she poisoned you?!" Ron said in shock.
"And I bet Giselle might be the one who was spying on you two yesterday," Wade speculated.
"Just as I suspected," Kim groaned.
"But why would she even do this?" Ron demanded.
"Hmm," Kim thought for a moment. "Trying to get under Shea's skin, spying on us, poisoning me… sounds like Giselle's not pulling childish pranks on us."
"You mean…" Ron started to say.
"Yes," Kim said grimly. "Giselle has gone super-villain."
"You think?" Wade asked.
Kim nodded, "Or at least she might be working with a super-villain."
"Giselle's officially gone way off the deep end this time," Ron snarled. "Next time I see her I'm gonna go monkey style on her."
"Ron," Kim spoke, softly. "I know you hate Giselle for poisoning me, but I don't want you to be turning her into a human pretzel."
Ron sighed, "I'm sorry, KP. I just hate it so much when someone tries to hurt you."
"I know, Ronnie," Kim spoke. "In any case, we need to stop GIselle before she hurts anyone else."
"I'll contact Dean Princeton and show him what I've found," Wade announced. "I'm sure he can handle it."
"Do it, Wade," Kim spoke.
"You got it, Kim," Wade spoke. "Wade out."
Senior and Junior walked into the control room of WEE Headquarters where Gemini was waiting for them.
"Ah, Senior. Junior," Gemini greeted them. "I am glad you could make it."
"We wouldn't dream of missing an opportunity like this, Gemini," Senior said. "And many thanks for the information that you found from your sister."
"My pleasure, Senior," Gemini replied with a smirk. "And I must commend your little informant for coming up with a plan as diabolical as poisoning Mrs. Stoppable."
"Yes, I was impressed with that myself," Senior spoke.
"Our men are ready and waiting to go on this mission," Gemini announced.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Junior said, excitedly. "Let's go save Bonnie!"
"Ok, Junior, you go meet with Gemini's men," Senior said to Junior. "There is something I must talk about with Gemini."
"As you wish, Father," Junior said before walking away.
After Junior was gone, Senior turned to Gemini and spoke, "I still can't believe what you told us about what happened to Bonnie."
"Believe me, I was just as surprised as you," Gemini spoke. "To think my sister would go to that level to prevent an evil genius like Miss Rockwaller from causing any more trouble."
"Hmm," Senior thought for a moment, "I think I should really like for Team Possible to know how much their trust in Dr. Director… is greatly misplaced."
"What are you suggesting?" Gemini asked with a raised eyebrow.
Senior smirked.
Dr. Director was standing in the control room of her headquarters. She was relieved to hear that the antidote she had her scientists make for Kim was already working. But she was also worried about why someone would want to poison Kim.
"This is all part of the nefarious scheme to free Miss Rockwaller, I just know," Dr. Director thought to herself. "And poisoning Kim was obviously a way to keep her at bay in order for it to happen."
"Dr. Director!" Will's voice came.
Dr. Director turned to see will coming in with a stressed look on his face.
"What is it, Agent Du, what's wrong?" Dr. Director asked.
"The Project Generation 4 plans have been stolen," Will said, urgently.
"What?!" Dr. Director said in shock. "How did that happen?"
"I'm not sure," Will spoke. "I was just checking on the plans and noticed they were missing."
"Hmm, this has to be Gemini's work," Dr. Director, surmised. "Only his men would have the skills to break in and take the plans without tripping an alarm. But then, how did they know that the plans were here?"
"I'm not sure, Ma'am," Will said as he shook his head.
"Gemini doesn't even know about this place," Dr. Director, speculated. "He wouldn't know to come here… unless..." She then thought of something, and went wide-eyed. "He must have had a way to track the plans here."
Suddenly, an evil laugh was heard echoing through the room.
"Very good, Betty," Gemini's voice was heard. "But I'm afraid you caught on too late."
"Gemini?" Dr. Director said as she looked around for her evil brother. "Where are you?"
"Not here," Gemini spoke. "I am simply my bug to hack into your communication systems so I could speak to you."
"Bug?" Dr. Director repeated in surprise. "What bug?"
"The one my loyal Agent Zeta planted on the case before you brought it all the way to your quarters," Gemini gloated.
Dr. Director gasped, "That's how you knew the plans were here. So the exchange meeting with Duff Killigan was all a setup."
"Indeed it was," Gemini confirmed. "But the bug was also used to listen in on everything you and your agents have been saying for the past night. Including the… information you so generously divulged about… Miss Rockwaller."
Dr. Director's heart sank.
"Gemini knows where Miss Rockwaller is," Will surmised.
"Indeed we do," Gemini confirmed. "And now we will help ourselves to rescuing her, per my agreement with Senor Senior Senior."
"Over my dead body," Dr. Director snarled.
"Oh, I'm afraid you don't really have a say in the matter, Betty," Gemini retorted.
Suddenly, the room went dark and the alarm was going off.
"What's going on?" Will wondered aloud.
"The bug was also used to hack into your systems," Gemini explained. "And now I just put you on lockdown. Now nobody can get in or out. And on top of that communications have been disabled. Now there is no way you can warn Team Possible about what's happening. Oh, but don't worry. Kim Stoppable and her team shall know everything in due time."
Dr. Director snarled at the fact that she had been tricked like this. She only hoped Kim and the rest of Team Possible would be able to stop Gemini from freeing Bonnie.
To Be Continued…
