Kim Possible: Gifted

"Movement, movement," an agent shouted as he ran into the bedroom, waking up Crash and Dash. Agent Burn was outside, doing a roving patrol at the late hour, but so far everything seemed quiet again and were it not for the missing mother, things would have been more than settled otherwise.
Only Crash knew it was not that simple and was on his feet instantly as he reached for his equipment belt.
"Who is it," he demanded as his partner and three other agents in the room jumped up, and prepared. "WEE? Another group?"
"It's Possible. Shego's car just took off without warning, and I mean it took off. She barely got out of the drive, and it flew straight up into the sky and headed west. We had no calls logged, but something happened to make her move."
"Obviously. Get tracking on her, and let's find out where she's going. Everyone suit up. I want one team to stay and watch the house. The rest of us are going to try to follow her. Let's move people. We don't want to arrive too late this time!"
No one argued.

"Is the message prepared," Gemini demanded as he walked back into his command center after seeing Dr. Possible put in a secure cell.
"I was awaiting your order to send it," the new Beta told her.
"Do so. I want Kim Possible in my hands, and at my side before dawn. Soon," he smiled, eyeing the small chip in his gloved hand. "Soon the world will be mine!"
"Sending the message now, sir. The line is ringing."
"Soon," Gemini smiled arrogantly.
The new Beta looked uneasy as he looked around, one hand on the console as he tapped it.
"Well," Gemini demanded.
"They…aren't picking up," he said fretfully.
"Aren't….?"
"They're either….asleep, or…..just aren't picking up, sir," he said. "I don't understand. I was certain by now they'd be more than ready to snatch at the phone for any news. Perhaps…. Perhaps she just stepped out," he tried to offer.
Gemini scowled.
"Incompetence! That is what this is," he spat. "Well, when I have her chipped, I'll have her willful ways ended, but good," he swore. "Try the father's cell phone," he demanded.
"Yes, sir. Good thinking, sir. Ringing now," the anxious Hench replied as he quickly changed numbers.
The man waited, looking nervous again, and finally, Gemini growled, "Well?"
"It's….still ringing, sir," he was told, the man looking ready to flee, if only he had someplace to go. "Wait…. No, it's going to voice mail," the man said, looking past anxious now.
"This is not how I planned it," he said, just as his entire base shook.
"What was that," he demanded.
"Sir, something just hit the starboard hatch, and exploded," a man shouted over the intercom. "We're taking on water, and can't contain it. We have to surface, sir!"
"Do it. Have all hands standing by. And find out what hit us."
"We already know, sir," the man reported. "Screen four. It was an antique car."
"What," Gemini and Beta both sputtered as they turned, adjusted the monitors, and saw the sleek green and black coupe banking around, small missiles leaving wakes as they exploded from under the undercarriage of the unlikely vehicle.
"Brace," Beta shouted, and the entire base shook again.
"Who dares? Who dares…?"
"It's Possible," someone said, the screen zooming in to focus and now showing Kim in the car next to a smirking woman as the vehicle behaved impossibly unlike a car.
"And her current sitter Shego," Gemini glowered, knowing that face from certain files. "We'll deal with them when we surface," he declared. "Bring Dr. Possible to me at once."
Beta all but fled as he shouted, "Yes, sir," over his shoulder before the madman could say anything else.
~KP~
"This is too easy," Shego muttered as they fired a third wave of mini-missiles as they watched the underwater lair now moving to surface before them.
"Be careful. Remember, mom is probably in there."
"That's why I was targeting the obvious hatches. They likely have failsafe's to seal them off, and they'll be guarding them when we come in from above as we planned."
"Just remember. You find mom, and get her out. That's your job here today," Kim told her.
"Trust me, Kim. I'll find Ann, and leave you room to cut loose. Just remember, these are the sort you can't give a chance. So don't play games with them. This guy is the kind to just kill everyone around him if he can't get his way."
"I know. I just hope the trail we left was obvious enough for GJ, because as big as that thing is, we may need backup," she admitted, eyeing the massive dome now nearing the surface as they turned, flew after it, and then broke the surface to hover over the very top of the dome.
"I wager even Bets can figure out this gambit on her own. Okay," Shego grinned and opened her door as Kim did the same. "Let's go knock, and see who wants to play," she smiled.
"Right," she said and hit the top of the dome even as her hands began to glow. She tore into the superstructure, melting and tearing a wide passage for them to use even as men inside shouted, and pointed up at them.
Just before Kim was dropping in just before Shego, and smashing anyone in her way out cold before they could react.
"I've got Ann's signal now," Shego told Kim, howling up her wrist. "The boys were right again. They had a jamming signal, but this close, it's crystal clear inside this loopy boy's clubhouse."
"Go. I'll tear up things, and find this loon. Because I am so done waiting on him to do things," she spat, and just tore a heavy hatch off its hinges, and slung it at the men on the other side.
The men howled in fear and ran as she charged and shouted, "Who wants hurt first?"
Shego managed to slip away without notice even as Kim pointedly made a showing of smashing anyone and anything in her way. She was being so effective at her distraction as she just raced down the corridors seeking a passage to the next level, and that must of the men just fled her and didn't even try to fight.
Far below, in the heart of his lair, Gemini watched on multiple monitors as the redhead tore through his lair, scattering his men, and all but destroying anything in her way. While his men looked on with trepidation, Gemini only smiled.
"Soon," he murmured. "Soon."
He only smiled on as the redhead used unbelievable strength, or emerald glowing hands to tear through his defenses without effort, and while his men looked more and more anxious, Gemini still only smiled as the shuddering booms of Possible's passage now became more and more audible without the monitors, and the entire lair seemed to be vibrating with her punches as her very expression became more and more angry with every step.
"She's a demon," someone finally rasped, seeing her eyes glaring almost as heatedly as her hands as she bypassed one hatch to just smash through a wall, and surprise the men waiting on her with an attempted ambush.
"Soon be our demon," Gemini smiled as Pepe just shuddered and cringed at his side by then, obviously just as unnerved by the strangeness around him as the men.
The men only looked at one another with genuine fear as the redhead almost unnaturally drew closer and closer as if sensing right where they were just then.
"Where is Dr. Possible," Gemini finally asked.
"Uh, well, she…."
"Where," Gemini bellowed.
"Well, she….ah, wasn't in the detention cells," a man told him. "We are….looking for her now," he only then admitted.
"Wasn't in the….? Was she not secured on my command," he demanded.
"Well, of course, sir," the man told him. "Only she…seems to have vanished since," he admitted uneasily.
"Incompetence," he growled low, his smile fading in the wake of his growing anger. "Find her. Now."
"We are looking, sir," the man assured him as he sweat heavily under his Henchco uniform. "We are looking very hard."
"Wait," Gemini murmured, now realizing something that only just occurred to him. "Where is Possible's companion? Where is Shego?"
"She, ah, well, she….vanished just after she entered the lair, sir," another man told him.
"Vanishing women," Gemini eyed the reporting Hench. "Unlikely. Search the entire base with IFR and motion scanners. They are obviously using some kind of ocular occlusion."
"What," a man sputtered.
Gemini's metal fist slammed down on a panel, activating a button which opened a hatch below the man's feet that sucked him out of the command center, and down into the waiting ocean below.
"Incompetence aside, I will not abide ignorance, too, in my lackeys. You, Theta," he elevated the next Hench. "Do you know what I mean," he demanded ominously.
"Of course, sir," he bluffed somberly. "It is quite obvious. I am scanning on all spectrum and using all resources to locate the women now," he assured his furious leader.
"Good. Good. There may be hope for you," he smiled coldly as the man just worked controls he didn't even understand since he had been a janitor until a cousin got him this gig which he deeply and seriously regretted just then.
"Whatever has made them invisible," another Hench reported, giving his companions a grim look as he explained those earlier words, "Is apparently masking their body heat, too, sir. However, I have all interior motion sensors on now, and we should be able to detect them…. Located, sir. Two unseen bodies indicated moving to Level Four now. I'm dispatching a squad to intercept."
"Seal the hatches on that level, and wait," he smiled. "All we have to do is contain and flush them right to us now," he smiled again, and that smile on Gemini's face was less than inspiring.
~KP~
"This way," Shego hissed as she kept her free hand on Ann's as they ran, the woman holding one pistol at the ready even as they moved through the maze trying to find a way back up to the hole where her car waited.
"Is Kim all right," Ann asked not for the first time since Shego broke her out of the holding cell, and they both activated a stealth field even Ann had not realized the boys had put into her force field watch as she had deemed it.
"I'd say fine," Shego said, looking around as the base vibrated ominously again. "She keeps on, though, and she's going to sink this clubhouse again."
"She always did get carried away sometimes," Ann smiled ruefully as they ran for another hatch even as a new group of men rushed down the corridors. Even if they weren't seeing them just then, Shego began to realize something as the men continued to appear, less than inadvertently making something occur to the former agent.
"They're driving us," she realized as they took a hatch that led down again. "Somehow, the freaks have figured out where we are, and they're herding us. Looks like we might as well drop the invisible shtick, and go for your force field, Ann, because if they decide to start shooting, we're in trouble."
"Too bad the boys couldn't make both work at once," she sighed. "Still, I guess that's too much to expect even from them," she added.
"Give them time. You won't believe what they've already done to my car," Shego muttered, glancing up the hatch, and eyeing a foot she promptly put a hole in, making the men above them hesitate about following. "This way."
Ann ran faster now, and while they both were ready to activate a force field at any moment, they still realized they were in trouble when a hatch slammed in their faces, and before they could turn, they heard another heavy steel panel slam down behind them.
They were trapped.
Shego looked grim as she pulled her other weapon, and handed it to Ann who shook her head rather than take it.
"Better get ready, Dr. P," Ann was told as Shego didn't press her as heard something humming around them. "I get the feeling we're about to land hip-deep in this one."
