3. Episode III: Alpha Match

Note from Author:

As always, thanks alot for your interest and for your comments. I would love to read more from. If you actually have the time, please write a short review about whichever episode you want to write about. I like knowing what my readers think about the story and naturally it keeps me motivated to work on my next episode faster. I will not count attention reviews like "Keep it up" without even really reading or anything towards my plans. This is a big waste of time for all of us. If you like the story please spend a few words. If you dislike something please do so as well but do not just write I shall keep it up. And by all means, of course if you do not like the story at all feel free to not read it, this is fully your choice but please understand my side as well when I want to talk with you about the story and a mere "keep it up" for 1000s of words is not enough.

The flow of episode 3 is a bit different compared to the first two as you might notice but in a way I like a lot of it more than the first two episodes. I feel it is by far more facetted than the previous ones.

This being said, enjoy the third episode.

III. Alpha Match

Far up on a mountain, on a lonely island a single light brightened up the area. "Huah, Shego! Wake up, it is time!", Drakken yawned through the loud speakers. One door of the former villain's hideout complex opened. With the last hideout they had, being destroyed by plants and alien attacks, they had to re-use one of their old ones. "A splendid morning!", Drakken greeted the sleepy Shego who just came out. He was already sitting at a table in his darkblue bathrobe, reading the "Examiner" in one hand, in the other one holding his cocoa moo. "Yeah ... morning ...", Shego, wearing black and dark-green pajamas, grumbled. Without even looking at him she passed him by to disappear through the next door. "Hm, she'll be fine", Drakken mumbled taking a sip. As she had helped him the entire last night with his preparations, being awoken this early was something she was not in the slightest grateful for.

After a while she exited the room wearing her green dress while her boss went inside of the room she was in just a few seconds ago. "Have you packed already, Shego?", he asked, then closed the door. Shego sighed and then had a seat at the table. "Yeah, I have."

Making herself some toast and taking a cup of what she did not even take a look at, she got to hear Drakken's reassuring: "Are you absolutely sure you have everything? We will be gone for a few days."

"It's fine!", she shouted, drinking something just to spit it out again. "Pfuah! Not this stuff again!" Shego hated whenever Drakken made it. She had to be in an exceptionally good mood to even remotely enjoy it.

"Anyway ...", Drakken said, exiting the bathroom in his lab coat, "We should be going soon. There is much to do for us today such as the complete restructuring of the scientific department of Global Justice as well as bringing in new plans. Or at least that is what she said." Shego did not understand a thing. "And what does that mean?", she asked to get Drakkens "It means, Shego, that in one of the major leading positions of the organization I have to take responsibility." back. "I am responsible for a great deal of research and have to manage the staff. This will be a step up from what we have done before all these years." The woman saw that Drakken really meant it this time and she had her own worries about this. Other than her he was getting used to this new situation way, way quicker and it felt scary. With just helping for the city's rebuilding and everything else that was included, she already had this weird feeling. This next part of her life was like a return to something she didn't consider possible for a long time.

When they went to the jet, Shego tried to talk to Drakken once more. "Dr. D. ...?", she tried catching his attention. He turned around, excited. "Yes, Shego?" She just could not understand it. "Is everything alright?", she wanted to know skeptically. "Of course, Shego. Now I'm fine", she got his swift reply.

"I don't know, I just mean - this relaxed and somewhat ... glad behaviour. Can you leave behind your old ideals this easily?", she continued her questions.

Drakken opened the cockpit. "Oh, Shego", he said and entered the vehicle, "I do not need any world domination anymore. Just imagine: The world's greatest and most relevant secret organization wants me in a leading position! I am pretty much on top already, just without terror and madness! Besides, it is not just about just the influence anymore. I have made the experience of how much more I am capable of. If this is how I can do it, then ruling the world is no longer necessary."

Shego began to understand it a bit better. This way he really could be influential but now it would no longer be just for him and the grudge that made him "Dr. Drakken" a long time ago. His whole mentality, though still with a lot of the old aspects retained, was vastly different now. "Well, I guess if you see it like that ...", Shego said and had a seat.

"You will see, Shego! In time, you will understand."

The gears were fully activated and they flew their way to the NGJ. During the entire flight they did not speak a single word. Drakken who furloughed his other henchmen for the next weeks was just humming, not noticing how Shego looked at him. Getting used to this gave her a hard time but she also did not want to consider that this was not her future. Because there was also this other, stronger feeling that also made her think a lot these days and did not make her leave.

NGJ was a barrel of monkeys already when Drakken and Shego arrived. With a white lab coat having put on and her hair in a ponytail Shego's entire appearance was appropriately fitting her boss's style. Together with Dr. Director they went through various departments. "If everything is said for now, we'll see each other again in the evening. The Network of Global Justice much appreciates your assistance!", Betty said and then left. The blue-face who was formerly known as Kim's arch nemesis entered one of the laboratories to get to work. There he at first observed what the best scientists and their right hands had to do. Afterwards he was ready to continue the project he already prepared for Global Justice a few weeks ago, this time though in his very own space that one of the scientists led him to. "Here, please, Dr. Lipsky", he said, "This is your personal room for research and experiments." Drakken then lectured the man for the first time: "Please, boy ... I prefer to be called 'Dr. Drakken'." Shego just grined. "Oh, yes. Of course. As you wish", the man apologized. A second one then came in to greet them. "It is an honor to meet and work with you, Dr. Drakken!", he said, shaking Drakken's hand.

When the man who led them into the room was about to leave, he was about to take Shego with him. "About you, Miss Go ...", he said when gently moving her away. Shego could only react perplexed: "Hey!" That she had to go did not happen though. Right when the scientist tried to take Shego away, Drakken jumped inbetween. "Hold it! What is that supposed to be!?", he asked. "Well, as top-class scientist in leading position you are supposed to get adequate assistance", the man justified his act and pointed towards the other scientist. "Miss Go's help will be needed in a more appropriate department in which she can use her abilities the fullest and most efficient way possible." Drakken just took Shego by her arm. "Not a chance!", he insisted, "Shego and I are a team, she stays with me!" Again Shego was stunned and looked exactly like that. She looked at him, not knowing who that man was. At first easily being so fine with this change of no longer taking over the world and then this. She had nothing but a charmed "Dr. D. ..." left. For a moment she had to think about this one moment a while ago when Drakken got the medal for saving the world and his plants wrapped them together. Could it be ...?, she wondered.

The way he insisted on her being here and what he said, made her think so much, she was almost getting dizzy. "Well, as you wish, Dr. Drakken. I must apologize", the scientist meant embarassed and took the other one with him who was pretty disappointed. "I - I hope you will observe some of my work soon!", the one who could not assist Drakken said hopefully when being dragged away. "Alright, Shego! So, let's do our work!", he said ambitiously. Shego hesitantly went with him, always one step behind, looking at his back. Then when she reached him and he looked at her with a satisfied smile she could only do the same. She knew it was not just during that one day when they were honored for saving the world that she felt like this. It already happened a few times in his presence. He really did like her. And so did she.

Meanwhile ...

Kim had finally done it. Her first day of college was over. Having actually decided to go to one in Upperton so she could be closer to Ron, she was not haunted one bit by any regrets she couldn't study abroad. While her boyfriend did actually decide to wait one year for his own college visit she this way was sure to have him around. "Hey, Kim. You forgot something!", a girl said when running to her in the parking area. "Oh, thank you", Kim said, taking her jacket that the young woman brought her, "And thank you for showing me everything!"

Kim only met a few people from Middleton High there but this new person, Charlotte, also seemed to be very sympathetic to her. She was just a bit older than Kim, had very soft facial characteristics and apart from her glasses, some bangs of her blonde, shoulder-long hair covered her face. "Don't sweat it!", she told Kim. Immediately after she realized something, when they approached a mass of people. "Oh no!", she weeped, "I hope I have not missed him!"

Kim looked to Charlotte, then to the crowd. "Who?", she asked to get a nod back to the crowd from the girl. "The guy there - he is just awesome. And he is so cool. But you can't even talk to him without one of the other ones interrupting you."

Kim could see the crowd that completely consisted of girls. "Huh! Well, surely that is just another poser!", the teenage heroine joked. Both of them were more than slightly surprised when the crowd split. They were surrounding a red sports car but away from them, still drawing the attention of the mass to him, a young man approached Kim and Charlie. "Oh, I can't believe it!", Kim's new friend screeched, "He's going straight to us!" Then he stopped before the two.

Don't I know him ...?, Kim thought. Charlotte did not say a thing but only smile in awe as she did not expect him at all to come to them. "Hello, Ladies", the young, white-haired man said.

"Now I remember!", Kim said, "I know! You are ... you were in theatre last time!" Clyde nodded. "Indeed." The crowd began to vanish when seeing how Clyde started a new chat. Charlotte was no different. When she realized that Clyde's attention was - except for greeting them - purely focused on Kim, she said goodbye: "Well, uhm ... I guess, I should go now, Kim. Ciao!"

"Do you like it here?", he asked Kim. "Should you have any questions, do no hesitate to ask me." Kim answered in her natural, nice tone: "Ah, yes. Thanks! I think it's really great here." Now she was already in the middle of a talk with him. This whole feeling of being around a very special person came back to Kim. He seemed like a wandering riddle - appearance, speech, simply everything about him was fascinating. "I see", Clyde answered. He seemed very calm and let her speak. "Say ...", Kim tried to phrase her next question, "... you still haven't told me your name, have you?"

Clyde just looked at her for a few seconds, as he often did with people. His gaze seemed cold for her for a moment, almost giving her an uncertain feeling but this quickly was gone for some reason. He was kind to her before - she had no idea what to think of him but to her he was not suspicious in any way. How charming he could be was immediately seen again when he slightly smiled. "I am Clyde", he replied.

"Nice to meet you, Clyde! And again thanks for last time!", she said now with all uncertainty blown away. "There is no necessity for gratefulness", Clyde said, "You simply appeared to be in a situation that demanded advice." Kim did not directly answer to this. She did not know how he could know so but he was right. It was his own turn then to ask: "I would like to talk some more. Maybe you want to come with me?"

Kim reactly promptly, but not sharp at all. "That is really nice of you, Clyde. But I have a boyfriend." And another surprise would wait for Kim, she got to know when he continued to smile. "Naturally", he said, "That is not what I meant." Now she really did not know what happened around her. This whole mysterious radiance and not being able to see through him threw her for a loop. "Uhm, well I guess then ...", she replied but Clyde shook his head in an understanding way. "You do not need to worry. Probably you have some time another day."

He also foretold her "We will see each other more often now anyway." An ominous and yet nice person was all that Kim could see. He seemed very unique the way he was. "Yes? Okay, then ...", she said but she did not know how to say goodbye properly. Just now she actually got to know him and for some reason she actually did want to know more about him. But it was not the time for this. He once more looked at her and ended their meeting, saying: "Well, until we meet again, Kimberly." Then he went to his car. A few more students chased after him, wildly yelling phrases like "Would you go on a date with me?" and "Clyde, was that your girlfriend?" Right now Kim thought about her Ron. She knew that she already had found the right one with her old childhood friend. This young man though seemed interesting for her in another way that she could not fully understand right now. Also she had a thing for unapproachable, special people. All she thought was that maybe they could actually become friends. After sitting on the Sloth's bonnet for ten minutes she went back to tell Ron about her day.

Usually at this time Ron was taking a break but Kim knew the time frame was way too sparse to actually visit him before he had to go back to work. With this in mind she took out her mobile phone, typing in his number. "Hm ...?", she wondered, "Strange." It was busy, so it seemed to the girl. Only a second later though her own phone rang. It was Ron - he wanted to get through to her as well. "Hey, Ron!", she greeted him cheerfully.

"Hey, KP. You got some time?" Kim did not need to think about that. "You bet!"

"Okay, I gotta tell you something!", Ron announced.

Kim was really eager to know it. Just hearing Ron's voice made her happy but she also was honest about her interest in getting some news from him.

"Earlier the office wanted to see me. First I thought it was because of the birds that got out of their cages yesterday, but ...", Ron began his story but then paused.

Kim really could not figure out from just his tone alone if it was supposed to be something good or not. She just hoped it would not be too bad.

"But now, listen: It was something way bigger!", Ron rose the tension. Kim's fingers were tingling. Right now she thought about how they surely would not fire him just because of a few mistakes of the last weeks. He improved so much since he started and was an excellent employee.

She could not wait any longer. "Now tell me!", Kim demanded.

"Okay ...", her boyfriend responded, "They promoted me!"

His girlfriend did not respond. The first thing she thought about was that thankfully it was no bad answer but when it got clearer to her what that actually meant, she started grining. "Promoted! Ron, that's great!", she answered proud of him. "Yeah, and this time it is an actual promotion, not just watching after Mr. Smarty's kid!", Ron joked around while being actually glad it was not something like that. Kim knew he very well deserved it.

Now that he told her about it, Ron could not stop talking. The entire time he told her about how Mr. Smarty himself praised him and told him that it actually should have already happened way earlier. Ron's girlfriend did not question that. She knew Martin Smarty was very fond of Ron and how much Ron liked his job, even though he messed up from time to time, especially with Barkin close to him.

"Uh, Ron?", she had to interrupt him then, "Tell me more about it later, okay?"

Ron sighed as he enjoyed the moment so much. "Okay, Bueno Nacho at Five?"

"Sure!", she then responded. "I still have to tell you about my day! Some of the professors there are really crazy! Also there was a really nice girl, Charlotte, who showed me everything. Oh and one guy - he is unbelievable! His name is Clyde ..."

"Huh?" Ron winced. What did she just say?, he wondered. He believed to have heard his girlfriend mentioning an "unbelievable guy".

"Well, we'll see each other later then!", she then ended the call. Kim had no idea that at the same time Ron still stood there with his phone like petrified.

The line "His name is Clyde ..." could not get out of his mind.

Back at Drakken's ...

Shego saw how pleased Drakken was, working on his newest creation from all sides. Besides her latest concerns though she did not wonder too much. They were in a giant laboratory, containing tools, blueprints and other stuff she thought of as garbage but what Drakken on the other hand loved. It was what he always did, now with her together for someone else though. The young woman could even witness how incredibly careful her boss this time was with his steps. He reconsidered and re-read every single step over and over again to be sure he would get the intended result. That was also something new to her. Drakken barely made any notes before. He was an incredibly intelligent person that most of the time could keep everything in mind but sometimes missing out on something or not re-checking it just led to those problems she experienced with his inventions. Now he even dismantled the parts and began various steps anew. Shego very quickly noticed with him being like this he was surely to be kept by the NGJ. As she was already thinking about the past and present she could not help but realize how successful Drakken very often was with finishing his projects. Indeed he made some mistakes from time to time but most of the actual messes were caused by Kim intervening. This awoke another thought of hers: Does he really not mind never fighting her again? Shego thought about much. Way more than Drakken right now who was captivated by his work.

"Shego ... Shego?"

Shaking her own head, Shego now left her own realm of memories.

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

Slightly bowing his head, Drakken asked her: "Is something? You look a bit ill today."

What? Who is this that?, Shego thought. Though he was a gentleman in the past in some situations this flood of changes was just too much for her. At first he was so enthusiastic about his new work, then he insisted on her staying with him and now this. She questioned if it was because he was so glad about his new position but with so many questions she actually had and no actual answers she felt so overwhelmed and helpless.

"You can go for today if you want", he told her.

Shego protested. "What? N-No, that's not necessary!" She was a bit surprised and embarassed how high-pitched she answered as Drakken's suggestion caught her off-guard and she knew how well-meant it actually was. But she also knew that the last hour she barely helped him at all, except with carrying and mending a few things so she would have felt even worse by leaving now.

"I'm fine. Thanks, Dr. D."

"Alright. Then please hand me the L-250 Proton Generator."

He turned around to proceed with his work while Shego brought him a medium-sized, dark-blue cube that he had worked on a few hours before. Very often he told her about his ideas and wildly pointed at certain spots of his concepts. She had no idea what he was talking about but as long as she could help him she did not care. For just a brief moment Shego considered approaching Drakken about how he could so easily be okay with all that as his answer from before about how he would not need to take over the world was just not enough for her. With this she also hoped for finding an actual solution for her own dilemmas. Hesitantly she tapped Drakken on his shoulder.

"Uh ... Dr. D. ..."

Drakken looked back at her only for Shego to reconsider her idea. "Eh, never mind. Its nothing", she said. You coward! This is so not like you at all!, she cursed herself. Of course being confronted with all of that she also had to realize that she could not recklessly approach everything as she usually did. She hated herself for being so insecure right now as it was a characteristic of herself that she barely had to deal with. All she knew was that she had to sort her thoughts a bit more first to actually know what was even going on in her life right now. Then she could still talk with him.

"It's done, Shego!", Drakken said as his newest child was now finished. Taking a step back with her, they looked at his masterpiece. "So, what's that?", Shego asked, just seeing something that looked a lot like the gliders that she and Drakken used in the past, except that fact it was not destroyed by Kim Possible yet.

"That's great, Dr. Dr.?! Don't we still have one of those lying around somewhere?"

"Shh, shh!", Drakken said with a finger covering his mouth. "Watch and let yourself be amazed by this manifest of my genius!"

Via remote control Drakken activated the vehicle. And indeed Shego was amazed by what she could see, while her boss what just standing there with his grin of success ...

Meanwhile ...

Ron felt weird. Checking time and seeing how his Kim still wasn't here he concluded that she still might have something "better" to do. Immediately he noticed how paranoid he was, as well as was his thought swept away as his girlfriend suddenly came in.

"Hey, Ron", Kim greeted him, "Sorry for being late. Monique needed me at Club Banana."

"Oh, never mind, KP!", Ron meant. He would have really liked kicking his own butt now for his thoughts. "I'm sorry, I should have called you", the girl said, "I thought I would still be in time." She felt the need to say so, as she really did not want to let him wait. Ron was sitting there, quietly. Then Kim began to tell him about her college day and how she was a bit lost until Charlotte came to help her. "You really gotta meet her soon!", she said to Ron excited. Ron tried hard to smile for her but he barely could. He wanted to know something else. A new name was blocking everything else he could have thought of. For the next minute he did not fully get what Kim was telling him, neither did he care or even notice how Rufus was feasting on the boy's maxi combo. Suddenly and without any warning, interrupting Kim's "... oh yes, by the way, Charlotte wanted...", it bursted out of him:

"And that guy?"

"Uh?", Kim stopped. She looked like she was caught by something. Meanwhile her boyfriend looked at her curiously. "Oh, yeah. Right!", she said then. Indeed she had actually forgotten about him since she saw Ron again.

"A while ago there was this guy ...", she began telling him about the cinema. Before she did not even realize she never actually told Ron about the first time she met Clyde. The longer her story got, the more the bit of confidence which was left in Ron's gaze vanished. "... anyways - I met him again in the parking area of the college. It seems he goes there, too", she ended her little horror story for her boyfriend who just twitched, hearing that.

"And you won't believe it!", Kim said, "What do you think by how many crazy chicks this guy was surrounded! A farm would have been more suited for them!"

Ron was sinking into his seat without Kim noticing. She then continued: "After that he even went to me and asked me if I wanted to come with him. Can you believe it, huh?"

Ron sat up again. Wait, what?, he thought. That someone wanted to be this close to his Kim and even ask her that was something he could not accept. He still looked afraid and shocked but his determination rose now. When Kim finally noticed what her boyfriend looked like she formed a slight smile. Seeing him this jealous and afraid was something she thought of as a bit cute but she did not want him to get a heart attack. "However ...", she started her own way of soothing him, "... that guy is really puzzling to me but when I told him I have a boyfriend already, it seemed like he actually wanted to tell me something else. Must have totally misunderstood him. Weird, huh?"

It was weird in Ron's eyes. But he could hardly try to care less about what this guy wanted as long as it was no attempt to steal away his Kim. He looked very relieved now. "Yeah, there are many guys out there that no one can understand. I mean, look at me", he then said jokingly while finally bringing back a smile - to both faces. They both had each other and everything else should be irrelevant.

Kim entered her own room around the evening. Normally she wanted to relax quietly for the rest of the day. But she could not resist and wanted to know it. "Hey, Wade!", she said, activating her Kimmunicator. "Hi, Kim. How was your first day?"

Kim wanted to make it quick. "It was great so far! Could you check something for me?"

Ready to type in something, the boy first took a great gulp of his cup.

"There is this one guy, a pretty mysterious white-haired guy I have seen in college today. It was really strange but I can't quite explain what it is - anyway! Maybe you could find something out about him? Its a pretty popular one called Clyde."

Wade had to use his hand to close his mouth because he would have spat out his drink otherwise. Not believing what he heard and not typing in a single thing on the keyboard he looked at Kim with his eyes widely opened. Now he finally swallowed his drink.

"You mean the Clyde?!", Wade asked shock and awe, "The Clyde you can hear and read about everywhere? You have met him?!"

Kim was confused. "Is something wrong, Wade?", she asked as she did not expect Wade's facial expression. Also what he just said was something she was not prepared for.

"Kim, are you serious?! How can you not know this guy?!", Wade replied with another question. The girl had no idea what all that meant but she figured out that obviously in some way Wade already knew Clyde. She herself then went to her own PC, looking for information about Clyde, instantaneously getting back tons of links to websites with articles about him. Meanwhile Wade told her about the young man.

"This guy is incredible, Kim! The grades he got as well as his understanding of things and his views are so remarkable, he graduated as early as could be! He is asked to help somewhere everyday and whenever people do not know what to do next! He knowledge is vast - half of my work is based off stuff he wrote and once I did not know an answer I wrote him. And guess what? He quickly replied with a message so precise and easy to understand that I almost felt like an idiot for not knowing! He helps everyone and never expects to get something back for it. Also he ..."

Wade kept talking like a waterfall, totally lost in his little adoration. Kim very often wondered before if the boy had some kind of mentor he could look up to. And now she had her answer: It was a young man and apparently an even more extreme form of Wade. A fascinating and charming man, popular, handsome and her age. For some reason she got goosebumps. Looking at the photos of Clyde and having a peek at articles she never found an actual end to them. The actual Wade did not stop though. "Meeting him is almost impossible! I tried to but it never happened. And ...", Wade kept talking with the last few words sounding very envious, "... you so casually got to see him?!"

"Well ...", Kim meant cornered, "... I suppose I did, yes"

Speechless he just sat there on the other side of the Kimmunicator. He just could not believe it. "Oh man ... lucky ...", was all he got out. Kim herself could hardly believe what she got to know about Clyde though. Never before she had heard of him but with all that Wade told her and what she herself had seen this man was world famous. Sneakingly a thought approached Kim. Am I really so busy with myself that I don't know who else exists?, she thought. But now she very much understood why she was so interested in Clyde: He was very unusual overall. Many of his traits where not so basic-average at all. This Clyde was not just like Wade. He was mysterious and that made him interesting. But he was also like a certain red-headed someone she just knew too well.

He was like her.

"Uhm, okay. Thanks, Wade!", she then attempted to end the call, not reacting to Wade's hasty "Ah, hey!" and instead just turning off her Kimmunicator. Falling onto her bed with a window of her computer showing Clyde she felt really weird.

"Just what did I get into here again ..."

When trying to find Clyde the next day on the campus, Kim just failed. His car was not here. Now knowing that he was very well known she also decided to ask a professor. Other than a "Ho, ho, ho! Clyde isn't a student here, Miss Possible! That's a thing of the past! He just helps out everytime one of us cannot hold a lecture, the students need a better explanation or the professors need some help with an experiment!" she did not get anything.

Immediately Kim remembered how Wade told her about Clyde graduating so early and all. Naturally he was not just talking about this Clyde being an absolute genius in high school but even beyond that so him no longer being an actual student was no wonder. The parallels between him and Wade were remarkable considering this. She still did not get any answers as no one was able to tell her where the mysterious man now was. It was almost as if he could control how much information people had about him and only as much as he wanted. She questioned though how she could catch such a spectre if not even Wade had a chance. There were many ways for her to find people but this one was really like a phantom for the girl. So she gave it up for now. Thinking about how Clyde seemed to be interested in her as well, he might eventually approach her once more. A concern she had thought about was that she might already be too interested in him.

Kim was not very satisfied with the missing results though. She did not get anything she wanted. Clyde seemed so unique and unapproachable, similiar and yet different to her. She could not keep this curiousity a secret. The picture of Ron appearing before her mind's eye though she was struck by a feeling of guilt she was trying to shake off again. Persuading herself that as long as she would not do anything that could go too far and just meet him as an interesting individual, everything would be fine and thus had no reason to feel like that. And who would not be interested in somebody like him?, she also kept convincing herself. And in her eyes there was nothing that was actually bad. If this Clyde would return she could still ask him who he actually was. She could also apologize to Ron for her fauxpas of being so insensitive. Also, no matter which problem there would come up, she would conquer them all. After all she was Kim Possible. And nobody else could overcome obstacles like she could.

"Are you coming with us?", Charlotte, who followed Kim for a while already, asked her.

"Uhm, where to?"

"Shopping, of course!", the glasses lady said, "We talked about it with the other girls yesterday."

Kim totally forgot it and right now she was not in the mood either. Nor did she have the time.

"Oh, right. I'm sorry, I can't today", Kim said, folding her hands in front of her face. "Really?", Charlie replied smugly to tease her a bit. "Meeting your boyfriend?"

The teenage heroine didn't though. Even though she would have wanted Ron around at this time and also apologize, he was still at work. When she had only an "Uhm" to reply, the Kimmunicator beeped.

"Sorry!"

Kim retreated back to her car, leaving a confused Charlotte behind.

"What's the sitch, Wade?"

"Have you met him again, Kim?", Wade asked excited, "What did he say?" The girl rose an eyebrow. Leaning against the Sloth she considered how to answer to this. Then she decided to go for the most honest route and gave him a very disappointed "Hah ... no. He wasn't even here today." Seeing Wade like this she didn't know who was more interested, Wade or herself. While Wade had an actual interest in Clyde because of academic nature, Kim more wanted to know about what kind of person the young man was.

"Oh really? Ma~n ...", Wade replied with a hanging head. His dissatisfaction still was that of a child, other than Kim's. Then she noticed something was wrong. "Wait -", she said, "Have you beeped me just because of that?"

Scratching the back of his head, Wade shyly looked away then back to her. "Well, ha, ha. Mainly. But I also got something for you." He then showed her a video message of Global Justice with Dr. Director asking for Kim's help. It was another top secret operation.

"What is it about?", Kim asked the young genius. "I don't know either", he responded, "I guess they did not want to risk it being in the wrong hands again." Then he continued: "Such nonsense! As if someone could actually get my mails!"

The girl was clueless. She could understand that Wade didn't believe in holes within his information system, as accurate as he was with his work. However with the NGJ even now not risking to say something, Kim assumed it must have been something extremely important once more.

Moody as Wade right now was for not knowing anything new about Clyde and feeling a bit hurt by Global Justice, Kim decided to leave him alone.

After her little chat she went to Ron at Smarty Mart to take him with her. During a quiet moment she also would have the time to talk with him, so she thought. At best right after they were done with the NGJ.

With her mission clothes and the suit already in her trunk Kim was on her way to Ron. She wanted to be quick therefore even ignored the complaining customer she was passing by, almost crashing into them. "Sorry!"

Trying to be more lucky where the market's staff area was located, she actually found him standing right in front of a door.

"KP?"

Ron was surprised but he did not let out their normal hug followed by a kiss. "What's up?", he asked. "I'll tell you on our way!", the girl said. Taking him by his hand, Kim made him just stumble forward a few steps. "Wait, wha- Kim!", he meant perplexed. His girlfriend turned back around to him, saying gently: "Ron, we have to hurry to Global Justice. They need us."

Her gaze was slightly begging him as she still feared she would have unfair thoughts, thus she wanted to have him around, end the sitch as fast as could be and then finally settle things. Her boyfriend however had no good news for her. "Kim, uhm ... I can't go right now. I'm sorry."

Really disappointed her hand slipped out of his own. Having already seen how they stood in front of the store manager's room but not knowing why, she just asked: "Huh? But why can't you go?" The smile she had for him vanished, the pleading shine in her eyes and the tone that said he should stay with her though remained.

"Mr. Smarty is still in there", Ron told her, "Can you believe that? He himself is telling me about my promotion and what I have to do next!"

Kim knew this was important for Ron. Martin Smarty was such a busy man, Ron could only consider himself lucky that same man who had to find some time for him actually managed to do so.

"But ... Ron!", Kim said hestitant, "They're waiting for us!"

"I am really sorry, but I can't!"

Ron immediately became silent after that as he did not know what to say after that anyway. Looking in Kim's eyes he did not understand what was truly going on. He already felt it was not just about Global Justice. At the same time Kim very well understood Ron's position but she felt so guilty about probably not appreciating Ron as he deserved it and also really needed him around her. Her look saddened as she looked down at the ground now.

"Kim, what is really the matter?", Ron asked empathically, "Did something happen?"

"Ron ...", the girl started slowly, "I ... I wanted to talk to you about yesterday ..." She knew it was not the place here but she at least wanted him to know what it was about.

"Oh ... I see", Ron replied. He already assumed it was cloudy above the two of them. It was this strange atmosphere they both could not truly define though they at least somewhat knew where it came from. And they mutually shared the opinion that, as important as their respective other was to them, they should converse about it soon so everything would get better again.

Ron did one step forward, taking Kim's right hand with both of his. He got sure she would look at him again, then he smiled at her.

"We'll talk about everything later, okay? Everything will be alright. I promise."

So Kim smiled, too. Touched from this and almost shedding a tear she gave him another kiss.

"Yes!"

A little relieved now, Ron looked at her leaving. As made as they were for each other he started to feel better the moment he cheered up his girlfriend. He felt the two of them being connected like this nothing could be a real problem.

Driving alone to Global Justice, Kim was already missing her dear boyfriend. For the mission but also for herself. Still she was aware of how it was something he had to do

Succeeding in finishing the mission would be something she could do without his help, even if it was something important, so she thought. As Kim Possible she was this confident. Nonetheless she gave herself a moment to check her equipment if everything was there. To be really sure she decided to put on her battlesuit below her regular clothes instead of wearing her mission outfit. This was an advantage she still wanted to have without Ron around. During her dress up she thought about how her boyfriend was important for her in really all life situations. With this she also realized how this feeling of guilt had a few good things because apart from showing how much she loved him she also saw again how lucky she was.

The main entrance hall of the NGJ was where Kim was greeted by Dr. Director herself. "Miss Possible! It is a pleasure to see you again", she said. "Good to see you again, Dr. Director. You wanted to see me? What's the sitch?", the redheaded heroine replied. Betty took her with her then. "Just a moment. Let's talk in my office."

When they were there Betty closed the door behind Kim. "Please have a seat", she meant pointing at a chair in front of a big desk that would have occupied half of Kim's room. The girl expected the office to look exactly the way it did: It was full of switches and notes where the leader of Global Justice could fulfill her duty and really everything just screamed this was where such a high-ranked person would work. The shelves, monitors and anything Betty would need to professionally manage the organization were no exception.

"I must apologize, Kim", Betty started her explanation while sitting down on her own chair on the other side of the desk. "Surely you must have noticed we are a lot more careful these days."

Kim was really interested in this. "Oh well, what is all of this about?", she asked. "Since the incident with Mimi-Kim we had to get sure to close possible gaps within our information network", Global Justice's leader told her then.

Now Kim understood. It was child's play for Mimi-Kim to get news about Global Justice. Kim's homepage was an easy target for her because she barely had to deal with Wade by just using Kim's password but Global Justice was a gigantic network and just knowing about the organization alone was already something not everyone did. Dr. Director continued her concern: "This is why I am glad you are here today. Here we do not have to worry about such problems."

Kim looked at Betty, wondering what she was talking about. "No worries about what?", she asked her.

"On our way to this place you have seen that we are taking our security way more serious now. However for some reason some new information about a new project have found their way out of these walls."

Kim could not believe it. Again?, she thought but she did not want to be impolite and say so. She just wanted to help. The girl sat there in traditional thinker's position with her chin resting on her fist. "Hm ...", she tried to find an answer, "It could be a spy, don't you think?" With this she had thoughts similiar to Betty's.

"I suppose so", the leader of the secret organization said. "And if that's true this person could have probably also given information to Mimi-Kim and how to easily enter and leave the headquarters."

Indeed this would be a big problem, so Kim's thoughts. Immediately she saw how serious all of this truly was. "I need your assistance, Kim. We need to get the double agent and protect our invention!", Betty said. And for Kim this was an obvious thing. There was no way she would not help. "No big! Let's do this!", Kim said while standing up, earning an honest "Thank you, Miss Possible." from Dr. Director.

The girl now thought about what the first things to do would be. Still she had no idea about the person she wanted to find. Thinking about how Wade would probably be able to help then, she was ready to use her Kimmunicator. "I'm just gonna ask Wade what we can do to find this double agent!", she said. Betty just shook her head. "That's not necessary, Kim. We already know what to do."

Kim lowered her arm again without activating her little device. "Huh? What do you mean?", she wanted to know. "We do not need to find this individual right now", Betty explained to her. "We probably do not have any time and this person seems to be a pretty clever one. Only the attempt alone, even a very sneaky one, might be noticed and they might retreat then before we can get them. I am convinced we will get our answers the moment our creation is about to be stolen by the one we really have to deal with. All we need to do is being ready for it."

Kim was perplexed. Meanwhile Betty went to the door. "For some reason this sounds to me like you even know who that person is working for."

"I can feel it", Betty told her while looking back.

Kim did not know what the Global Justice's leader meant with this ominous answer but she was sure that very soon she would know more about all of that. Following Betty's steps then she had her next question already prepared: "So? What is it we have to protect actually?"

"You'll see in a minute", Betty replied. They then arrived in front of a big door and she turned around to Kim once more. "This is our department for new vehicles. Just a little while ago we were lucky to find a brilliant scientist for a leading position to overlook many of our departments as well as work on their experiments. A few weeks ago he started working on the new vehicle and from what I have heard the last two days he worked on it with barely even taking a break."

With this Kim knew she had to expect a lot of scientific and astounding genius behind the door. There were many inventions she was already allowed to see. Many of them were not really interesting for her compared to how much she had to keep them safe. Just listening to Dr. Director though this had to be something really big.

Betty thought of it as very important to prepare the girl so she gave her another hint. "Listen, Kim. You surely will not expect what is gonna happen when we enter this room. So please be ready."

"It's fine", Kim said, "I doubt any crazy invention can shock me at this point." Betty just smiled though. "I did not mean the machine, Kim."

Still not really getting what that meant, Kim only had a "Huh?" as response for Betty. Soon she would know it though so she did not ask more about it.

Using the identificator on the wall to open the door, Betty's last step of the number input was interrupted. Both women heard a loud boom above them. When they turned around and looked up a part of the ceiling was gone. The alarm started with the first agents gathering. From above other people entered the room. None of them was from Global Justice though.

"So he is early today ...", Betty said only to get back a confused "What? Who is early?" from Kim. " Same Kim did not need to wait for an answer of Betty though. "It seems I can still rely on my family greeting me", a menacing voice resounded. Looking up again Kim could see who Dr. Director was waiting for.

Gemini was looking down at Kim and his sister.

An entire batallion of the evil twin's henchmen confronted the agents, ready to follow Gemini's orders. He still looked the same as Kim knew him: Bearded, with an eyepatch covering his left eye and in his own uniform. Smug as he was he still looked down to them. NGJ's scientists meanwhile did their best to find a safe place somewhere else just to be replaced by more combatant agents.

"So it really was you, Sheldon!", Dr. Director yelled at her brother. Real anger was burning in her eye as Kim could see clearly. The girl already presumed this would be bad - she also did not need to wait long for her thoughts to be confirmed true when Gemini sarcastically said: "What's the matter, lil sis? Aren't you at least a little glad to see me? After all you have not called me once!"

The overconfident tone of Gemini's made Kim sigh. Those arguments were something she already knew from them and knew the man's comment was only half of what would come. Betty did not hesitate to strike back: "Oh, you bet I'm gonna call you! Once you are under arrest!"

Looking up her own forehead, blowing away some bangs from her face and taking a deep breath, Kim tried to endure what she had to witness. She was used to so many things. Yet seeing two so experienced adults acting like children was something she could not bear. Kim also did not understand how the agent's of both sides could just stand there, watching this. They also seemed to feel off-place going just by their exchange of confused gazes, from what Kim could see.

When Betty finally decided to change subject, Kim felt slight relief. "Tell me, what are you here for, Sheldon?", the woman asked her brother who in the meantime came down on a rope. "You very well know why I am here! I want your new toy!", he answered. Gemini's reply sounded way less sarcastic and evil for Kim as she already knew that a lot of this actually came from honest, childish envy.

"You really are unbelievable!", Dr. Director said upset. "Can't you be serious for at least one single time? Anyway, you will not get it, no matter what you want to do with it."

Facepalming, Kim could just grunt a loud "Uhn ..." She would rather have covered her ears to not listen to this anymore as she knew this could go on forever. Instead she decided to be the one to ultimately end their little chat. "Hey guys - would you please just get to the point?! A lot of bad people, they wanna steal something, we fight 'em!", she said.

The twins looked at her, caught by surprise. Arrogantly Gemini said: "She is right, Betty. The girl has an eye for the detail. You must have lost yours."

"Ouch ...", Kim said empathically looking at Dr. Director. This was a real sucker punch, the girl thought about this unusually mean comment. And she saw that Betty did not feel different about this as she now really lost her nerve. "Ngh ... that's it!", she shouted and pointed at her brother. With a dedicated "Get 'em!" the leader of Global Justice ordered her agents to attack.

The hall in front of the vehicle department became a battlefield of GJ and WEE. Kim did as some of the agents by knocking down the first of Gemini's henchmen. A few sidesteps, some jumps with accurately placed kicks and everything was under control. "Soon the alphabet should be full!", Kim joked while brushing through her hair. While doing so she was looking at her last defeated enemy. One of many agents of Gemini whose uniform marked his identity with a Greek letter.

"Kim!", Betty said while passing by, "Watch out for the double agent!"

The teenage heroine was the only one who could fully observe the battle. Immediately she saw who it was: A young scientist with short and light-brown hair tried to slip through the battles and aimed for fleeing by climbing Gemini's rope. If it wasn't for Kim. "Wouldn't you like this?!", she said, ran forward and made a long jump. Climbing the rope in record time she had no problem reaching him. Kim already got him and grabbed his leg. He struggled to shake her off but failed. Instead they both fell down over five metres. Using the grappling hook of her suit she still wore underneath, Kim still managed to save them both. When she tried to pin him down, waiting for another agent to take him away, she was unpleasantly surprised: The man she thought of as a mere scientist could hit her with a swift punch that made her roll away.

Kim stood up again. She had to see how not just the one agent who wanted to help her, but also two others in those few seconds were already knocked out. The man just grined. "You are definitely not who you seem to be", the redhead said. With this heard, her new enemy threw away his scientist clothes, revealing the WEE uniform he wore.

The letter was an alpha.

So he found one, huh? No wonder this guy was so much trouble for Dr. Director, Kim thought, very well acknowledging how skilled as an agent this man must be. She knew now she really had to be ready to rumble. Both dashed towards each other.

The director was busy enough already so she did not notice any of this. Gemini was chasing her and not playing fair. While she was was better at normal combat, he had an arsenal of tricks like the electric shocks that came out of his glove. His sister could gracefully dodge them with some back handsprings. Trying to hold back Alpha and just looking for one moment at what happened on Betty's side, Kim noticed that what she could see reminded her a lot of the battle with Joe-Jitsu who also tried to defeat Ron in similiar fashion. She could only hope for Betty that Gemini was not somehow able to actually shoot lightning. Nonetheless she hoped the best for her fellow fighter as she also once got hit by one of Gemini's shocks and therefore knew getting hit by that alone was already bad enough. A moment later though, Betty also got hit by the metal hand that touched her shoulder. At the same time while Gemini's sister was collapsing and thus trying to hold herself on her knees, Kim was blown back by Alpha. "You hurt my feelings. Am I so boring?", he now finally began talking though Kim already disliked hearing his voice. "Spare me your sarcasm", she said and attacked him once more.

The partially paralyzed Betty held her shoulder. "You have enhanced it since last time ...", she lamented. "Hmph, what did you expect? I know that I should not underestimate you", her brother countered.

Now he was standing directly before her. "That's it for today, Betty! We wanted to get our newest little toy", he said snapping with his fingers. Hearing this, Alpha gave Kim another evil grin. "This is going to be interesting", he foretold. Before she could even react, a backwards somersault kick made sure she would be thrown back again. The girl wanted to run to him but with a loud noise the extra space Alpha's former attack made was even more widened. Kim had to jump back to not get hit by a flying machine landing between them. And it was not the only one of its kind that came through the ceiling. Two more joined.

"If you don't mind -", Gemini said to his sister and nodded at the pilots of the machines. When Kim said that one of the pilots also exited the cockpit to let Alpha in, she tried to intervene but a laser beam from another vehicle hindered her from finishing her job.

"This was really smart, bravo", Betty said. She still could barely move and standing up was also not an option for now. "This is well thought out of you and I am sure your new recruit has a lot to do with this." Gemini smiled. "I have put all my heart in teaching him. He is ... the beginning of your doom." His sister also smiled though. "Your problem is though, like always you have not thought about what is gonna happen next", she said to him

"Oh, sister. You are defeated", he mocked her. Very sure he had won this already and full of himself, he asked: "Who should change something about this now?"

"I have not talked about myself ... but her", Betty replied with her smile having vanished.

Kim tapped Gemini on his shoulder. "Hm?", he responded surprised when turning around and seeing the redhead. She was standing there and now it was her turn to grin.

"Playtime's over", Kim said. Gemini was only moderately impressed. "Oh yes, Miss Possible. I forgot you were here. But don't worry. You know my right hand Alpha already, don't you? I am sure he is ready for another round. And I have more presents for you."

A few laser cannons from the vehicles, including Alpha's, now aimed at Kim, as they already knocked out most of the other agents.

"Let's dance!", Gemini said and ran towards the still locked door while Kim had to evade the barrage of her new flying problems. A few of them were meanwhile helping Gemini to open the door. Kim knew the door would not stand for much longer and as she was also a target of these things she had more problems to worry about. With her battle suit she had her secret weapon though. She was really glad that she considered how much of a difference Ron made in those missions and that this was more important to her than her own pride or she would have never taken the suit with her. Taking off her normal gloves she could re-shape the suit to catch a few of the lasers and fire them back, though those flying monsters turned out to have a shield around them to make any attack useless. Other than the door though she was lucky to only be attacked by a few smaller beams and salves. Before the pilots could actually get a chance to really use the greater ones against her or even more of the annoying ones she should make a pile of garbage out of the machines though, so she planned. Catching the next charged beam and throwing it at a cannon she managed to destroy one.

"Oh, a clever girl", Gemini said, "But do you think you can do this alone?"

He's right ..., Kim thought. With Gemini having learned so much and being assisted by Alpha to coordinate things it was a tough match. And right now she was not even attacking Alpha's airship that from what she had seen was even more technologically advanced. The next attack she tried to hit the ship next to her with was also completely useless because the shield was still intact. One more attack of same machine could be reflected at least so she was able to destroy another cannon. Now it got a bit exhausting for Kim though. First she had to fight the henchmen, though they were no real challenge until Alpha arrived against who she could not even land a single move once he revealed his true identity. And now fighting against all that should really give her problems. Her last maneuvers slowed her down a bit but she still was able to fight. Running to the other cannons that fired at her from another ship, she could hear how the door was blasted open. The fire stopped. Large blocks of metal and rock were flying around and great dust cloud covered the room.

"Huh?", Kim got scared as for a moment she had the feeling of having failed. Though nothing was lost, she thought. She would not let Gemini win. She was a Possible and that meant she was a fighter.

Her enemy Gemini observed it all with his arms behind his back. Victory seemed to be so close for him so he got back a wide grin on his face. "Now get it!", he told some agents who got back on their feet so they ran into the cloud where before there was the large door.

"Oh no!", Kim said dedicated and followed them. For only a few metres though - then she stood still again. Black-green energy blasts flew out of the cloud and together with the sound of hard punches and kicks all of Gemini's men were also thrown out.

"This ...", Kim said gasping. It was familiar to her. And she could not believe it.

"No~ way ... this can't really be?!"

And then she saw it could very well be. "Seriously Kimmie ...", a voice she knew scolded her in a challenging tone, "Have you gotten weaker? I suppose you haven't had a real challenge in a while."

"How should she, Shego?", Drakken asked, now appearing behind Shego. "Who would have been better for that than us?"

"Shego and Drakken?", Kim said, really not believing her own eyes. The teenage heroine considered a lot of things could happen after Betty's announcement. Still she thought this was something she really could have not been prepared for.

Shego was already wearing her black-green Go Suit again.

"Let me lend you a hand", Shego said, now standing in front of one of Gemini's flying machines, knowing she would destroy it very soon. Forming a fist in front of her face, she charged her shego-typical energy.

By getting a chance to fight again, she was back to normal.

Kim was standing there, looking at her smiling rival and Drakken as if she would wait to wake up any second. Gemini was also looking stunned seeing how the tides had turned. One of the things Kim thought about now was if her and them collaborating really was no one-time-in-a-life thing. She heard already Drakken got some medal but this right here was too much for her.

"What does that mean?", Kim asked for Betty to just say she would explain everything later when there's time. Now she also could stand up again.

"So I am leaving this to you, Shego!", Drakken told his assistant and went back into the room. Shego's amused grin stayed while Kim and Gemini had nothing to laugh about. "What's the sitch, Kimmie?", Shego teased her, "You want me to handle this by myself or do you also want to show me what you got?"

Kim promptly but still not believing this reacted: "Uh, yes! You better believe it!"

The smile of Shego's became different. The joy it stood for was not just only about shocking her rival Kim but also herself waiting for the upcoming fight and bringing Kim to do as she knew from her. "You best don't stand in my way!", the woman said.

"Hah!", Kim could only laugh. "I will be the one doing this, Shego!" Saying so, she now bent her head to smugly look at Shego with just one eye.

"Do your worst, princess!", Drakken's assistant challenged her and both ran towards different machines. Gemini was rooted by shock. A vein on his neck was swollen from sheer anger. "Something is wrong, isn't it?! This should not be some contest!", he complained loudly. "Give it up, Sheldon!", Betty said while approaching her brother. "It's over!" Gemini though just closed his eye without even looking at her. He laughed. "Ha, ha, ha ... maybe you should wait for it to actually end."

"What are you talking about?" Betty's question still sounded very upset as she just saw Gemini as being a bad loser right now but she expected him to do something sinister again, especially as he was fighting fairly well this day. "I am not done with you yet", he explained. At the same time he once more snapped with his fingers to call for three more vehicles. With this, six of them were now waiting to attack. One of them already had two damaged cannons, the one that Shego was going for was only barely damaged by Kim.

"Oh, lookie here!", Shego said excited. "More for me!" Using her energy salves to break open the energy shield and the cockpit of the airship. And she was successful. The shield was down and her energy caused the first injuries on the weapon. Meanwhile Kim tried to destroy the one she was already doing very well against before. With it missing two of its artilleries it was way easier for the girl to focus on attacking.

"Not so fast, Shego!", Kim said sarcastically. "Keep something to share it with me."

"Hah!" An excited Shego pierced through the cockpit's glass just to drag out the pilot and throw him away. Using just the sheer force of her powers she did not even need to bother about the weapons. "I thought you wanted to try keeping up with me? Maybe next time", she teased Kim and jumped for the next one. While doing so she turned during her jump to fire an energy ball back to the last airship she fought against to ultimately make it a pile of metal garbage.

Kim's problems were a bit greater. She had no super powers and even the enhancing effects, also while using her own blue light of the suit, pretty much did not help against the energy shield of her enemy. She tried to attack the cockpit then, same as Shego, now that she noticed that part was seemingly not protected. "Ow!", she said. It was bulletproof glass nonetheless. The pilot laughed about Kim's failure but the girl did not want to accept that. As she saw two shots from other machines coming at her, she caught them with both of her re-formed hands, unified the power and smashed it against the cockpits glass to break it open. Now the man inside had nothing to laugh about when he had to join the other, already defeated pilot.

The girl saw four airships were left. One of them was fought by Shego and the other three were used to stop the women from proceeding. At least they tried to do so. When Kim got to the next one she could see how Shego again did not waste any time to get through the field and repeated what she did from before. One powerful punch covered in her Go Light should get her through to the one who sat in there and afterwards blast the vehicle to pieces by firing one last energy ball into was once seemed to be an inaccessible machine. Shego was enjoying herself. While she was jumping back and being in mid-air, the flyer exploded which made her only grin. Really everything she did now made her feel great as this was simply what she could do best.

Kim knew she had to be quicker. Already trying to demolish the cannons of the next one and a smart way of using the fire of the other weapons and her own enhancements she wanted to get through the shield and glass. Whatever would be down first did not matter to her. While being a bit upset about Shego she very much was also having her own fun. Same showed her own smiling face. It was a serious mission but even such missions getting like this for the teenage heroine normally never were anything big. And together with Shego it felt more like some sports match for her. Therefore it had some interesting taste for the both of them: They felt entertained and wanted to bathe in this feeling as long as this would last.

Like the rivals they were.

The twins were still standing there, watching the spectacular battle starring Kim, Shego and a few agents who wanted to just get them but simply had no chance of hitting the athletic women with their moves. Betty was impressed by how persistent and original Gemini was. "Though their assistance is much needed by you it will not change anything. The outcome will be the same", he said to her.

Then he turned around and ran to where the destroyed door was to get to Drakken. When Betty followed him, Gemini already aimed back to shoot little missiles out of his glove which should distract her. Using the moment of her dodging them, he used the few remaining henchmen that were recovering to enter the next room. Dr. Director did not different. A few jumps and sidesteps later she ordered some agents that were also already pretty exhausted after the flyer's hits and made them follow. "Go! No time to be wasted!", she said and went with them to show her brother who's boss.

While Kim was still a bit behind, seeing Shego like this was enough for her to keep her fighting spirit alive. The cannons on the vehicle she stood on were defeated by now. And not just that, before she actually managed to destroy them she made sure the pilot made the mistake of actually aiming at her. That way a single dodge was enough for the cannons to destroy both glass and shield of its own ship. "Oh, oh ...", the man said knowing what would happen next. The moment Kim saw this, she had kicked the cannons to metal hell and turned around to see how a great part of the machine was gaping open from the attack the pilot was dumb enough to unleash. He tried to flee but after Kim had hit the flyer with one last strong attack to make it completely unusable, she jumped off, landing right in front of the guy who panically wanted to land a hit on her. In vain though. Evading it with ease, Kim knocked him out. Seeing him like this and the trash of metal next to her she was having a good time. "Okay! Two left!", Kim said enthusiatically. Too late though as while saying this the second-last flyer already exploded in a green light. "Shego!", she yelled but Shego did not listen. She was already running to the last one:

The one with a grining agent Alpha who was just leaning back until now, not even attacking the women.

Kim and Shego were now standing in front of the last glider, the better equipped one which was keeping their hardest agent within. "That was very entertaining", Alpha said, "But the others were stationary. Let's end this with a little flight!"

Shego brought back the glow of her hands and before Alpha could lift off she and Kim hung themselves on the flyer. Alpha, expecting this to happen, giggled. Flying far up with them through the hole in the ceiling and now reaching the outside they had to deal with him and his airship in the sky over Tri City. The man was really having the time of his life. Whenever Kim and Shego wanted to attack a spot of the vehicle, Alpha did some swift full-spins with his gliding machine so they could not do anything but hold themselves on it. They knew he was much better than the rest.

"Don't you enjoy this view? Its quite romantic to overlook everything from above here!", the man mocked them. Kim and Shego knew outsmarting Alpha would not be this easy. He surely would not destroy his own airship the way the other one did and even Shego's energy blasts were not helpful by now. Thinking she would able to destroy one of the four cannons on the flyer right after a timed shot when Alpha was done with one of his spins, she tried but failed when another shaking movement influenced her aim. "Nice try", Alpha said, "I have heard of Team Go already. So you are the one with the Green Go Light."

"I am not a part of Team Go!", Shego yelled now standing up again and in front of the cockpit. Kim was standing on the other side of the dome. "Doesn't matter", Alpha said, "It means I do not need to underestimate you. You know the shield already, right? Let's see how you can handle its true potential." Then he clicked on a switch that made the energy shield expand, forming a spheric force field. Surrounding the flyer and pushing both woman outside they fell, landing in the parking area of Global Justice.

Shego and Kim looked up with their eyes following the smug agent flying around and in the process also shooting at them with his laser cannons. It was relatively easy for them to dodge them which was also thanks to him not really trying as full as he was of himself.

Whenever Shego found the time she tried to use her own energy blasts, so tried Kim to fire back what came from Alpha. However, when they actually managed to hit the nimble flyer, they were immediately rendered useless by its force field. "This can't be! This damn shield!", Shego shouted angrily, now firing more of her green bolts towards it. Avoiding to get hit by the next four beams, Kim followed where they came from. Seeing this she had an idea. "Shego! When he shoots beams instead of salves we might have the chance to fire directly against them!", she informed Shego, "With this we might be able to get through the shield!"

Shego stood next to her. "Smart plan, Kimmie", she said, dodging the next one. "But why would I need you for that?"

Kim only looked at her with a risen eyebrow. "Now don't be this smug!", she said, "Do you really want to claim you can do this on your own? We have to time this and trick him or else its not gonna work!"

"Okay, okay!", Shego said, "So, what have you thought of?" Kim then explained to her: "I'm gonna distract him and when he wants to fire I am gonna use my own shield. Then you step in to fire back!"

Shego considered the plan. "You must be fast or else he will probably stop his attack and we cannot get through the shield!" Drakken's assistant imagined what would happen and she actually thought about it possibly working. "Okay", she said, "Then let's do this."

They both split up to follow their plan. Kim ran over the area, waving Alpha to her. With her grappling hook she catapulted herself up the roof of Global Justice's main entrance. She then turned around, seeing how Alpha slowed down his airship next to the roof. Levitating in front of her he was ready for what he thought of as his finale. "Tired already?", he asked, floating in front of Kim. Then he readied the four cannons and charged the energy. With all of the artilleries targetting her, Kim provoked the agent. "What are you waiting for?!", she challenged him.

Then he fired.

Don't disappoint me, Shego!, Kim thought and triggered her suit's force field that the lasers did not manage to get through. It was but two seconds later, then Shego jumped in from the side, holding back the beams. Her hands were shining in a powerful green light that had almost all of Shego's might focused in. Alpha looked flabbergasted. "What?", he said, now seeing that it was all planned.

"This is very, very exhausting!", Shego complained. And Kim really could see how the woman had to brace herself against it. Shego's confident grin returned though. Concentrating even more, she pushed back the beams with her own to fully strike the flyer with them which exploded with this. Alpha jumped off, landing on the roof, really mad.

Both Shego and Kim were in battle position. Alpha also took on his stance but then calmed down. "I should not have underestimated you like this. Fighting the two of you now would be pretty stupid. See you next time ...", he said smiling and turned around.

"Forget next time!", both women yelled at the same time but when they approached him he just threw a smoke bomb over his shoulder. Shego and Kim coughed and had trouble even seeing each other. As the smoke was gone, Alpha was as well.

They were not really happy about this but at least they had won the battle and stopped Alpha and therefore Gemini's best man. Jumping back down which involved getting through multiple floors that Gemini's men devastated by creating that hole, Kim and Shego were finally able to join Betty.

Most agents by now were already captured by NGJ agents but the few that followed their leaders were now protecting their respective leader and therefore fought their last round for that day. Since Gemini had gotten to Drakken, he tried to get his hands on his invention, therefore fought with him about the remote control. "Gimme that remote control!", he demanded, only for Drakken to reply with a very blunt "Forget it!" Dr. Director wanted to help Drakken but Gemini shook her off. Even more surprised was Gemini the moment when some vines came out of Drakken to defend their master. Gemini thought of this a a good chance. He thought with the vines leading his shocks to Drakken he could defeat him but even attempting to do so showed him true failure. The plants were following Drakken's will, just throwing a humiliated Gemini across the room and doing the same with his agents.

"Wow, those things are really something", Kim said. Shego could just wonder when Drakken would get rid of the plants but seeing him being able to pull off something like this she thought it would probably even be a bad idea as they were pretty good.

Gemini was now back on his feet. Betty was standing next to him. "What are you smiling about?", he said. "You have just missed your last chance", Betty told him. A few metres away some agents as well as Kim only were awestruck. "Wow ...", the redhead said. When Gemini wanted to look back at Drakken, he saw that he was gone. Just as the vehicle he was working on for the last days.

"What? How can this be?!", Gemini wondered. Dr. Director only scolded him. "Like I thought! You didn't even know what it can do! Again you just wanted what I have, everything else did not matter!"

"Isn't that flattering? After all I know if it is something you have it must be good!", Gemini responded and re-started their little verbal fight. "Yeah, we already know this part, Sheldon! Why don't you just grow up!", his sister meant.

Shego was perplexed. "What. is. that?", she wanted to know. Kim just giggled. "Welcome in my world, Shego", she told her. Behind them a noise should make them turn around then. "Drakken?", Kim said. The blue-faced scientist floated next to them with his newest glider.

"Teleportation ... so this it can do", Gemini said. Drakken wanted to pose. "Oh, it can do a lot more than fly and teleport", he said while Betty grined. Drakken just pulled another switch and said: "Behold! This is one of its many functions! Everyone stand aside!"

Aiming at Gemini, the scientist caught WEE's leader within a light-white beam that made it impossible for the man to get away. "Aah!", Sheldon yelled. "Well, I would say we call it a day", his sister meant in a mocking tone.

"Well fought, sister. But this will not be our last battle!", Gemini promised. "I am not done with all of you yet!"

"Sure. Enjoy your stay in prison before that", Dr. Director said.

With this it was over. The three woman gathered. Betty understood that they had lost Alpha for now but she thought it would just be a matter of time until he also would be defeated. Together they were exchanging satisfied looks while the ones between Shego and Kim were more personal. Kim saw that once more Shego had helped her. She could trust her and thought it should also stay that way.

"Well, I don't know what else to say, Shego. I am really glad that you have helped me. Thank you." Showing her honesty, Kim held one hand towards her rival who stood there, arms akimbo. Shego had an amused look now. "Hmph", only came from her when for a moment she closed her eyes to think about all that happened - all that happened during the last years. Then when she opened her eyes again, she shook the girls hand and gave her a clear reply: "Until next time, Kimmie. Someone has to get sure we don't get rusty, huh?" And they both knew each other could do the best.

Kim now looked at her former arch enemy. "Thanks to you too, Drakken." The scientist did not say anything to her. Instead he still had his grin from before. He was glad he could protect his new baby and be the one to end this battle his way and also his involvement being acknowledged by Kim did mean something to him. One day his genius would be acknowledged, he foretold some people long ago. And while he was known for long now the last few weeks felt for him like the first time it really was like people did. "Shego!", he said, "We still have a lot to do!"

Shego was glad about this change of subject. "Eh, yes!", she said shyly, "Let's get back to work!"

Then they went away after Betty thanked them, leaving the glider and the captured ones behind.

Kim had to laugh slightly. She knew for Drakken and Shego this was as unusual as for her. Nonetheless she could already feel they were now a part of the good side. It still felt a bit weird for her, so she thought but she would eventually get used to it. Similiar to Shego.

When Betty approached her to thank her personally once more, the girl only had her obligatory "Ah, no big!" for her. Then she wanted to leave. She was missing Ron a lot and wanted to talk with him.

Approaching the entrance, Kim was once more stopped by Dr. Director. "Please wait another moment, Kim!", she pleaded. Kim did not know what Betty had to say to her now so she just waited, curious about it.

"I was very intrigued by your collaboration with Miss Go", Betty said, "To be honest I did not expect you would be fine with it this easily. For this I very much thank you and hope we can count on you if another situation demands it. Also with you two and Dr. Drakken."

More surprises for Kim. Meanwhile a bit more far away from them Shego came out of an elevator, now back in her lab coat and dress - something that the teenage heroine had never seen before. Looking at Drakken's assistant who just did something for her boss, she also made Betty look at Shego.

"Of course I have also talked with Miss Go about this already", Global Justice's leader said to the girl, "She does not talk very much about herself but she said her role in this incident was something she prefered, though she would not want to give up her assisting job."

"Uah!", Shego scared and blushed. She had heard what Betty said over there. But she also did not want to intervene. She knew earlier she would have done something like this. Now at this moment though she just hoped that the two women would not have noticed her reaction, or even her presence.

Kim still looked very glad. "You can count on me!", she said.

"Thank you very much, Miss Possible", Betty replied. "You know, I think it is very important to be clear and honest to other people. I am sure you two have your very own way of communication with each other but this honesty and clarity is something I wish for everyone to have."

Kim and Shego heard Betty's words. And they felt that this seemed to be very fitting for their own current situation in many ways. Shego though now really used the chance to go fly a kite.

With these words Kim had to think about her boyfriend. Being honest and having trust - those were things that were a must for her and Ron's relationship in her eyes. And she knew they really needed that right now.

All she wanted now was saying goodbye to Betty to see him. "I am sure you will find a way to get along. As I have seen you two, no you three today, I am very glad and hope you can quickly get used to this", the head of Global Justice said. Kim nodded. "I am sure about that", the girl said. Then she waved and went her way. Turning around once more she then said to Dr. Director: "And really - thanks a lot."

Betty also nodded. She could see that somehow Kim was really considering her words in more than just the context of Shego and Drakken. "Sweet youth", she said with a smile.

Kim was finally driving back home. She really was taking Betty's words to heart, not having the slightest idea that Shego did, too. The woman did not like so much emotional stuff but not knowing what to expect was something she feared even more and that made it very hard for her. Already knowing how Drakken would react was something Shego wished for. But she didn't.

Kim was finally back home at night. After seeing her family for a minute she would go to see her boyfriend. "Hi!", she said while opening the door. "I'm back!"

No answer though. She just saw her mother going upstairs. Ann did point at the living room and smiled. Then she went away. When the girl then entered the room she could see Ron sitting there, already waiting. "Hey, KP!", he greeted her with a kiss. "Hey, I just wanted to go to your house!", she said.

Ron did not know how to start. "Well, uhm ...", he said. Kim was also a bit nervous but again was very charmed by what Ron looked like right now. She took him by his hand, said "Come with me!" and exited her house to sit down before the door. Here the two were alone with their feelings. The stars above should do the rest. And so they just watched them fascinated as if they would shine for just them right now.

For a while they stayed silent. Being together here was very soothing for them,

Clarity! Now tell him!, Kim thought and deeply inhaled. "I was a fool, Ron", she began to explain.

"What?", Ron wondered, now looking at her. She still was watching the stars.

"I was so muddled", Kim said. "Its because I was worrying so much. And it was all my fault. I should not have been so reckless towards you. In a way I can see now why you were afraid so much during graduation."

Ron didn't say anything. He knew, while it was not exactly the same reason why he was afraid, it still was very similiar. He was afraid of losing her for the very reason she was so exceptional and therefore leave him behind. It being because of another person, another location or something else. He was so happy when she told him she would stay in Tri City to study and knew why she did so. But this Clyde scared him a lot.

"But I was telling you, Ron. Nothing will change between us. I wanted to tell you earlier today but then I made another reckless mistake by not even listening to you."

Kim now looked at him with this gaze that she only had for him. The gaze of the loving ones.

"You are way too important for me, Ron. I love you", she said, exchanging those gazes with him. Ron found the courage to reply: "You know, Kim. I so often think about how lucky I can consider myself to have you as my girlfriend. You are amazing. I really don't know how a guy like me can be the one you want to be together with.

"Ron ...", Kim said sad. She felt so guilty right now. It was over a year ago when she acted very superficial by choosing a popular guy over him even though she actually loved him already. Right now she did not want to say it to Ron because she feared it would have hurt him very much. But she was very sorry about it and felt like it was some sort of betrayal for their friendship. Now thinking about it though she also could slowly forgive herself because she also became aware her heart kept the feelings that mattered and made her choose Ron without even caring what others would think.

"I have also worried a lot about this new guy you have told me about, Kim. Even more than this drone dude that Drakken sent", Ron said. "Even while we were talking about it. The idea that you could be interested in someone else the way I saw you are, is scary. They must be really special to get your attention like this. But I also did not want to be so repellent when you wanted to get me from work. I am sorry."

Kim was very touched and looked at him empathically. She then leaned towards him with her face getting closer to his. "Ron ... that ... between you and me does not need any reason", she told him. "I love you the way you are. You are you and who and what I want."

She then lovingly smiled just for him which he could only give back. He knew trust was something he could give her but sometimes there were moments when he lacked confidence in himself. Kim's words though meant a lot for him.

Everything in the world.

"Hah, I guess we both worried way too much ...", Kim said.

"I guess ...", Ron replied.

Both deeply were looking into each others eyes.

When Ann looked out of the window from above she could see how the couple was kissing under the stars.

The night was still not over. Kim and Ron had to talk a lot. He was telling her about his Smarty Mart duty which made Kim very happy as she was now normally talking with him again. Also because she could see how happy he was. When she on the other hand told him about Global Justice, Shego and Drakken, he was just awestruck.

"Woah! Not really?!", he interrupted her inbetween. "Yes? Unbelievable, huh?", she replied.

They chatted for a long time to make up for what they missed.

Meanwhile ...

Shego and Drakken were back in their hideout.

"Well, that wasn't so bad, huh, Shego?", Drakken said, heading for the bathroom. "The glider works, we were able to defeat Gemini and even our old teenage foe helped us."

"Yeah ...", Shego gave him a short response. She still had something else she pondered.

"I think our future is very promising, Shego!", he meant. Our future ..., Shego thought, giving this even more meaning that Drakken did. She was standing at the same spot for ten minutes, since they came back. Now do it! Talk to him!, she tried to encourage herself. Going to the table were Drakken had put down two cups for them, she wanted to gulp down her doubts before she would approach him. Instead she reluctantly swallowed the cocoa moo. "Not again!", she yelled and crushed the cup with her green light.

"What's going on, Shego?", Drakken yelled out of the bathroom. "Did something happen?"

"Uh, yeah - no! I - I have just dropped my cup!", Shego lied embarassed.

But some day she would tell him all.

That was what she decided that night.
