Kim Possible: Gifted

"Oh, look," came a snide tone as the humming stopped, and one panel opened to reveal the two women standing there. "My guests of honor have arrived. Just in time to see my ultimate triumph," he added as the sounds of metal being hammered grew ever louder around them.
"Sounds like Kimmie is almost here," Shego rasped. "Shield up, Ann," Shego told her.
"Already done. I've actually met sociopaths before now," she told the woman who held both weapons at the ready.
"Sociopaths, Dr. Possible? I think I am far more than you realize. You must see that when WEE claims its glorious destiny, our world will finally be forced to accept a new order. A new discipline. We shall rule with an iron hand, yes, but a fair one. People will be fed. People will be cared for as they should. Or I'll destroy any that defy my orders," he snarled just when he began to sound almost reasonable.
"Right," Shego muttered. "Like every tyrant that I've ever met didn't make the same promises."
"Ah, Shego. The inestimable government agent turned crusader. I've long considered a place for you in my empire. Only you seem a bit….hostile to our goals. I'm afraid you are going to have to go," he smirked and nodded to his men. "Kill her."
The first man to reach them bounced back, and landed hard, frowning as he looked around.
Another man slammed a taser baton at Shego, but it only sparked, and bounced back, too.
"Force fields? How clever. But it won't save you," the madman told her.
"Oh, I don't know," Gemini smiled. "I think I might just….surprise you," he said as a hatch suddenly exploded open, slammed across the room, and took out two men standing in the way.
"Knock, knock," Kim snarled and stomped into the room to look at the one-eyed man who smirked at her.
"We've been expecting you," Gemini smirked. "Now, I suggest you stand down, woman, or watch your mother and unlikely friend die."
"Shego," Kim frowned, following that metal finger to where her mother stood beside Shego. "What are you doing here? You were supposed to get mom out."
"Yeah, we took a wrong turn," the woman drawled sardonically. "Funny thing, though, I found the bad guy for you, and he's a real loon."
Kim rolled her eyes.
"Such clever repartee," the head of WEE sneered. "Now, Kimberly Anne. Yield or your mother and friend die."
"Don't trust him," Ann shouted.
"Don't worry, we have our force fields up," Shego added.
"Hold it," Gemini hissed when Kim took a step toward him. "Believe me when I say their silly toys will not save them, child. Watch," he said and pressed a button.
One of him yelled when the deck suddenly opened, and he was sucked down and away before the deck sealed itself again.
"Now, stand down," Gemini growled in a dark tone, "Or we'll see if your mother's force field can withstand being shunted a mile below the sea in less than ten seconds," he smiled coldly.
"No, Kim," Ann shouted.
Kim seethed, but dropped her hands, the glow of her plasma energy fading even as she did.
"You still won't win," Kim told him as she was now shoved forward to stand before him by wary men who still didn't want to trust her.
"Wrong," Gemini mocked, and pressed a tiny, pulsing square to her brow, and held it in place even as Kim's eyes fluttered, and her eyes suddenly went blank, her expression completely vacant.
"Not good," Shego said uneasily as Kim just stood there now as Gemini stepped back, and smirked at her.
"Indeed, woman. For this powerful weapon is now completely under my control, and…."
"Oh, I wouldn't say that," a voice chortled as Gemini frowned, and looked around.
"In fact, I doubt she could even blow away our force fields, she's so weak," another almost identical voice declared as two young preteens suddenly appeared beside Ann and Shego.
"Boys," Ann gasped. "What are you doing here?"
"Well someone had to make sure things worked out," Jim told her.
"We'll see how you like the depths of the sea," Gemini spat and punched a nearby button on his command chair.
"Malfunction," one of the boys asked with faint sympathy. "Don't worry, it happens to the best of old men," he told him.
"Guys, can you free Kimmie," Shego asked.
"Hicka-bicka-boo," Tim asked.
"Hoo-shaw."
"Just fry them," Gemini told Kim, pointing at the boys who smirked openly at him.
"Just try," the twins said as one.
"Kill them all," Gemini roared and glared at the boys who were just as annoying as he had feared from the reports on them.
Kim raised her hands mechanically, a growing green glow rising around them even as one eye twitched.
"Do it," Gemini ordered. "You must obey! I am your master! I control you! You are but my tool! Now obey me!"
Kim quivered violently, even as the pulsing red dot on her forehead smoldered and sparked, and fell away as she blinked, and stared around her in fury.
"Obey," Kim snarled and reached out with glowing hands, one grabbing his metal hand, and tearing and melting it in her grasp as her other hand lifted him into the air.
"Kim, don't do it," Ann shouted at her daughter as those green eyes narrowed on the man, and the other hand curled into a hard, glowing fist as the tiny dog in the command chair began to bark and whine at her.
"Drop him on your left," Tim shouted at her. "We can take care of him," the boy told her.
Kim sneered as she tossed him more than she dropped him, and he had time to look stunned just before the deck opened up under him, and he went down a dark tube that closed after him.
"Boys," Ann gasped. "Did you….?"
"No big, mom," they both echoed. "Look," they pointed.
Everyone looked toward the monitor they indicated, and it revealed a sputtering Sheldon Director floundering in the water as dozens of boats, hovering jets, and other craft surrounded the damaged lair as a grim woman in blue stared down at her brother from her hovering VTOL's open hatch.
"That's right, boys," Jim told the men around them.
"We have complete control of all your systems. So, just give up, or…."
"We feed you to our sister," Jim concluded.
Every man in the command center shared a single look, and dropped their weapons and threw up their hands even as GJ agents stormed the chamber, and the tiny dog continued to bark and snarl at everyone.
"Told you we'd be a great backup," Jim and Tim told Shego.
"Mom," Kim smiled as she walked over, and hugged her, the surgeon having dropped her own force field by then.
"Are you okay," Ann asked her, returning her cautious embrace.
"I should be asking you that," Kim retorted as she smiled happily as she turned to hug Shego now even as Will Du led the second wave that entered the command center, and looked around with a curt nod.
"Beta team, download everything, and prepare to flush this lair," he ordered. "Possible…."
"Yes," four voices replied.
Will Du looked beyond dour as all four looked expectantly at him.
"You all have a debriefing with Dr. Director at HQ," he told them. "You, too, Ms. Gordeaux."
"It's Shego, and you know it, errand boy," she spat.
Which made the twins snigger.
By then, most of the Henches had been led away. Yet as Will started to approach the family, he looked down in consternation as a tiny dog attempted to worry his pants leg, and he eyed it indignantly before he ignored the snarling animal, telling one of his agents, "And someone contain this….creature."
"Lets bail," Shego told them.
"Just hit recall on your car remote," Tim told her.
"It'll come right to you," Jim assured her.
"After we reach a hatch, boys. This tub is likely ready to sink already after Kim's hissy fit," Shego pointed out.
"Hissy fit," the redhead fumed as they walked off, leaving Will to bark his orders. "I was giving you a distraction. You were supposed to get mom out. Not bring her to the bad guy!"
"I did get her out. Only they still tracked us. And managed to drive us right into the wrong hatch."
"Motion sensors," Jim and Tim nodded. "We overlooked that one. And we were so busy taking over the main computers we didn't think to shut them down at the time. Our bad. We'll get to work fixing it, though," they nodded.
"You do that," Shego muttered as they headed up the corridor toward the nearest hatch. Outside, Global Justice agents surrounded the damaged, and creaking lair and only then did Shego press the button on her car remote that brought the flying car around to hover before them as the agents watching just shook their heads.
"Climb in, guys, and let's blaze," Shego said.
Even as the car rose into the sky, they looked down, and Shego whistled.
"Damn, Princess, I'm surprised that thing hasn't already sank," she said, looking down at the tilting, smoking lair that had a lot of holes in it.
"You fired all the missiles," Kim accused.
"Missiles," Ann sputtered.
"Hey, I only hit the main hatches. You're the one that went to work dismantling all the support structures down there."
"I did what you told me," Kim shot back.
"Missiles," Ann echoed, eyeing her sons who sat in the back with her.
"We had to give her some defenses," the twins looked back with matching chagrinned expressions.
"Missiles," the brain surgeon echoed. "Where did you get missiles?"
"We built them, mom."
"Yeah. They were only mini-missiles, though. Strictly defensive," Tim assured her to cover his twin.
Kim and Shego shared a matching look as they flew away, and burst into laughter.
Just as something chirped, and Kim dug into the pouch at her side, and pulled out the communicator Wade had arranged.
"Kimberly," Dr. Director's stern visage appeared. "I believe you have a debriefing with me that I'm expecting."
"After I get mom and the boys home," she smiled. "It's been a long day."
"I'll say."
"We need to talk to them, too," the senior agent informed her. "So just…."
"Talk later. Gotta go," Kim said and switched off the device.
"You hung up on Bets," Shego grinned.
"Well, uh, we do gotta go let dad know we're all safe," she said. "I think any silly debriefing can wait for that."
"By the way, what are you wearing," Kim was asked now as Ann leaned forward. "I noticed while your clothes were ripped up and scorched again, you have something under them that doesn't even look burned.
"Oh, uh, something Wade fixed up for me," she grinned and lifted one arm that showed the white sleeve. "He managed to create a plasma-resistant garment kind of thing."
"He just has the fashion sense of a colorblind comic book geek," Shego remarked.
"Hey, it's not that bad."
"Remember, I've seen the thing," Shego taunted.
"You…."
"Me," Shego grinned back at her.
"So, boys, how did you know that Kim could free herself like that," Ann asked as she leaned back in the seat.
"Well, duh, mom. We figured out she fried anything electronic on or around her when she fired up that plasma. It wasn't hard to guess that anything on her was toast the moment she got heated up," Tim said.
"And let's face it, that guy was dim anyway if he thought those heavy-handed commands of his weren't going to tweak Kim. Just look at what she did the last time someone tried to command her to do anything," Jim smirked.
"I am not that bad," Kim shot over her shoulder, making Shego snigger.
"Watch it, Shego," she huffed.
Shego only grinned.
"We're just all really glad you're okay, Kim. That all of us are okay. Now, let me hit the gas, and get us home so we can finally relax," Shego suggested. "ANI, step on it," she told the computer brain.
"Sounds like a plan," Jim and Tim grinned as the flying car roared, and headed back toward the coast even as more GJ jets flew past them.
No one cared that a few banked, and followed them back.
