Aftermath - Chapter 2
Thanks to everyone that read and reviewed !
Now onto the story
IV
James Possible rest in the guest room in the Stoppable's house next to his wife. He probably should be sleeping, but sleep had evaded him for the last hour. He couldn't pinpoint one cause, the different sounds and lights coming from the window, the unfamiliar, yet still comfortable, bed he was sleeping. Of course maybe the greatest cause was the fact that his beloved family was homeless.
Along with his wife they had always worked hard in order to provide the best they could to their daughter and sons, and the result was a home filled with memories, and he was darn proud that almost every one of those memories were good.
And now it was all gone.
In a flash, in one of their happiest days everything had turned upside down. Their daughter kidnapped, the knowledge that not only they weren't alone in the universe but also clrearly outclassed by other races in therms of technology and weaponry, and finally their home.
He couldn't be more thankful for their friends and their generosity, today they had a roof over their heads and a loving place to be thanks to them. One always expect that friendships would be there when things were bad, but to actually see that had been incredible. It had shook him to his very core. He could never repaid them enough.
His wife stirred, and he wondered if she too hadn't been able to sleep or of he had woken her up.
Ann Possible had also been trying to sleep and her husband squirming wasn't really helping. She turned and smiled at him "Couldn't sleep either?"
"Right now I'm wondering if I will be able to sleep at all again. Too much in too little time"
She sighed but smiled at him nonetheless "I know what you mean, I was hoping we could get at least one good night sleep before start stressing about all this. But I guess now is as good as any other moment" She knew what he meant. She also knew that his current housing situation was their main concern
"We can rebuild hon, it will be like starting all over and I'm really really glad Kim got all those scholarships"
Fortunately they had both been successful in their respective professions and had never carried a very ostentatious way of living. With Kim's college situation almost resolved, if she ever finished picking one that is, their main concern was the house. It would probably cost a lot of money, and like he said would feel a lot like starting from zero once again, but they didn't have a choice, living in this house was a blessing but, even if they never talked about it, they couldn't impose on them. And the sooner they made the necessary arrangements the sooner they would recover their house and maybe avoid the rising in prices that would follow for sure once everyone managed to recover from this situation.
"James, what are we going to do in the meanwhile? Even if the banks and construction companies are open tomorrow, even if we find the original blueprint of the house it would take months to fix it. Dean and Danna had been great, but they have Hannah to look at, and while I think the kids will manage it isn't fair on anyone here"
"Well we could look into some hotel?"
"We need a plan B hon, like us there are a lot of people that lost their homes and that's without counting everyone that is stuck here that came for the graduation" They had a lot to do, and she was sure that tomorrow at the hospital and the space center they would have their hands full.
She wondered how many hurt people there were, and felt guilty about not thinking about it, she had been so occupied trying to maintain everything as normal as possible that the fact that earth was invaded hadn't caught up with her. Saving their daughter had been their top priority, and while she had wanted to go save her too, she realized that her husband, later replaced by Shego, and Ron were the best options. Her thoughts turned to Ron for a moment, he was clumsy and sometimes she wondered if he would ever really mature. But she had never doubted, not even for a second, that he would face every of his fears, any threats from this planet or others in order to save her daughter.
She knew he was going to bring her back, so instead of worrying she helped Nana and the Stoppables to maintain order the best they could in that extreme situation. Her faith had been rewarded when they saw Ron landing with Kim in his arms and the biggest smile on her daughter face.
He had brought her daughter back.
James was thinking in the same lines. Tomorrow they really need to do a lot of things, and they were going to be extremely busy. While the space center was dedicated mostly to research, the threat had come from space, so he was sure there were going to be a lot of questions and planing for the future.
There were aliens out there, violent ones to top it off, they will have to be prepared for next time. That would mean a lot of work, but on the bright side he thought at least his work wasn't going to be at risk. "Do you ever wonder if all those years ago we should had stopped kimmie-cub from going to missions?"
The question surprised her "James surely you don't think this is her fault? We should be grateful that she is a teen heroine, the world would be conquered if not for her. Sure, maybe it came sooner than we expected, but if not now then next year, or decade, Kimmie saving the world doesn't change the fact that those aliens exist!"
He raised his hands in surrender "I didn't mean it like that" His wife raised an eyebrow "But today when she was giving her speech all I could think was that she wasn't safe. I saw Ronald try to grab her and wondered it it had been worth it. Maybe you are right, and she is safe now, but what if she hadn't?" They both felt a chill in their spine "You say a decade, maybe they wouldn't have come for a century or more, and … " He struggled a bit "And I wouldn't care as long as she was safe" He wasn't looking at her, ashamed at his thoughts "You must think I'm a monster"
She lifted his face so he would face her, and he was shocked to see her smiling. She is beautiful was all he could think "Of course I would think that coming from the man I've been married for more that twenty years, from the man that only wants her daughter to be safe. From the man who was ready to go to space in order to save her" That smile was her teasing one, full with sarcasm, but this time also with love. They were homeless, he still felt ashamed from his thoughts, but if she was going to be at his side, he knew that he could do anything.
She kissed him softly on the lips "Look we can talk about it more during breakfast, but I'm sure Wade can help us track the blueprints or at least a good architect, I'm going to the bank before my hospital shift and you can start calling our usual contractors. Now lets go to sleep 'monster', we have a really long day tomorrow" Mission mode as her daughter called itt had been something inherited from her, deciding the best course with what they had.
He smiled before lying next to her, and was surprised when he finally was feeling his eyelids heavy, the soft breathing next to him told him that her wife was felling the same. His last thought were about how lucky he had been all those years ago to have met her.
He wondered if that how Ron felt about his daughter.
James wasn't the only one feeling ashamed and unworthy. Ron had waited until he was sure everyone was sleep before silently leaving the attic that he was sharing with the Tweebs and sited in the kitchen. It was partly lighted by the moon and the lights coming from the outside. He found the quietness comforting is his current state.
The world was safe, Kim was safe, he had finally embraced the Mystical Monkey Power.
And nothing else had changed. The world kept spinning and he was still without any kind of college future and worrying about his romantic future and how the center would not hold.
But that wasn't what was keeping him awake. He had crossed a line he never wanted to. But at the same time he couldn't say he had any actual regret. Maybe regret wasn't the right word, he didn't want to do it again, he would do anything in his power to avoid doing it, but if it came between saving Kim's life or letting her die he had no doubt. The fact he wasn't really thinking about the world, but only about Kim didn't help either.
Sensei always talked as he was destined to have this power, that it was his right. He had faith in him unlike anyone he had ever met. Anyone but Kim. But the truth was that all he had done, was because of Kim. He had accepted this powers, had fought the two aliens because of her. He had felt anger, unlike anything he had ever felt when he saw Warhok lifting her and talking about her as a trophy.
He had been scared, but it quickly transformed into hate. Hadn't Sensei appeared at that moment to remind him about his powers, his destiny, he would had been ready to tear them apart with his bare hands. Probably dying in the process and dooming the world.
He wasn't worthy of this power, he couldn't be trusted. If he was capable of feeling all that hate, he had to wonder, had he killed them because there wasn't any other choice? Had he done it out of spite? They had threatened her, therefore they had to pay. And if Kim had been killed? He had never been good at dealing with his emotions, and he didn't dare to think of a world without Kim. Ironically giving him this powers was the same as leaving a monkey within arms reach of the world's nuclear arsenal. A very emotional unstable monkey.
He was worst today than the day before, at least yesterday his mayor issue was dying alone while Kim conquered the stars. Now he was a weapon of mass destruction and once Kim realized what he had done he was going to be really lonely. He wondered if Sensei would let him stay in Yamanuchi.
Kim had wandered to the kitchen for a glass of milk, the day had finally caught on her and fell asleep as soon ash her head touched the pillow. But she was suddenly awoke with her heart trying to leap out of her chest. Hannah hadn't seem to notice, she was sleeping with her in Ron's old room, and she managed to find her way to the kitchen without waking her. While she hadn't spent as much time here as Ron in her house, she knew it like the palm of her hand.
Still feeling jumpy because of the nightmare she had, she couldn't remember what it was about though, she almost screamed when she saw a figure siting in the kitchen. It didn't take long for her to realize that it was her boyfriend.
Ron had heard the gasp and turned towards the noise, she recognized her thanks to the moonlight illuminating her face and her green eyes that seemed to have a light of their own, he smiled despite everything, she was safe "Hey KP, funny meeting you here. Trouble sleeping or bad dreams?" He knew that she had been asleep, his mother confirmed it when the put Hannah to sleep.
She answered while siting next to him and taking his hand, her quest for milk and sleep pushed to the back of her head. Nightmares or not Ron had never avoided sleeping, whatever he was thinking bothered him a lot. And she was not going to leave him to fight his demons alone "Bad dreams actually, but I don't really remember what about. I could guess though" She smirked at him, and it almost broke his heart, but turned serious again "You?"
He wondered if he should lie, avoid the issue, enjoy his last days with Kim before she realized what he had done and dumped him. But she deserved better "Honestly" and he squeezed her hand "I haven't got to the nightmares part, guess you need to be sleeping first" It wasn't the direct answer she deserved, but it was what he could give her right now. He wanted to talk about it, but didn't know how to start the conversation.
Kim sighed, for all the love and history they had, they also had some communication problems, and she couldn't blame all of it on Ron, she too had avoided talking about college and had let him despair and feeling alone about the future when she was feeling the same.
She decided to put an end to it. They had been friends since they had memory, and for the last year that relationship had only grew. They were in love, and if they were able to surpass this little barriers they had put on each other then there was truly nothing the future could throw at them that they wouldn't be able to handle. "Ron you know that there is nothing you cant tell me about. No more secrets remember? We are in this together, we will deal with it together too" She was holding his gaze, she had really believed that the whole thing that she might break up with him for whatever reason had been put to rest at the beginning of the year. But she hadn't considered the college front but she was not going to let her college issues or his insecurities eat away the best thing that had happened to the both of them. She loved him, and if she had her way with it they were going to to have all their life together, she was young for sure, but she hadn't started this relationship with an expiration date. As long as he would have her, she would be there for him, and even after too she would be there for him too.
He hadn't broke eye contact, but a little frown appeared on his face "I'm not really sure you can understand this KP"
"The Mystical Monkey Power?"
"No, not that, well that too, I don't understand it myself honestly, don't know if I could explain it"
"Try then, that's all I'm asking"
He sighed, he really didn't want to go there, to explain all he had thought and felt in those minutes "When Warhok punched me and you were unconscious they started talking about you, how you were going to be a trophy" Kim closed her eyes, she hadn't known about this, but let him continue "And I was so afraid that I couldn't stop them, that I was going to lose you, it was worse than when you were kidnapped" He closes his eyes "And then I was just angry, at them for doing this and also to myself. If I hadn't try to go toe to toe against him you would have find a way to defeat them"
Of course he was feeling guilty, Kim knew that he always took his mistakes to the extreme, and she had thought him crazy when he charged. But he was guilty of anything, this wasn't his fault. They were fighting to alien conquerors that had took control of the world in seconds.
Ron kept talking "And then Sensei appeared behind me, telling I was the Monkey Master, that it was my destiny. And I saw you and knew that I had to do something. Suddenly it was as if something snapped. As if I was doing it forever I knew what to do, I knew Monkey Kung Fu, I knew I could hold them and pushed them away. And then..." He didn't know to to continue, what he had felt was incredible, he was completely focused on the fight, he knew how long it would take him to accept all the power, where the ship was coming from, the necessary strength and energy in order to make sure that it would collide and explode, and he also knew it would stop the invasion for good. His brain had decided the best course of action before he realized he was doing it. Instinct, one he never knew he had.
Kim of course had seen all this having been recently conscious, so she choose her next words carefully, she had thought he was worried about his powers, not what he did with it "And then you stopped them, you saved the world, you saved me" She was holding both his hands now and saw the doubt in his eyes before he said anything.
"I killed them" And he couldn't look at her anymore "And that's not the worst part, I was convinced that it was the only way, but I hated them" He spoke now more harsher "Maybe there was another way, maybe I could have done something else, all this powers and the only thing I could do was that? But they had threatened you and I hated them"
"Ron..."
He couldn't take it anymore and some tears started falling "And I know I would do it again. I know if the choice was losing you or doing it again I would do it again. And of all the world the only one that saw me like that" The tears were falling freely now that he was about to admit the thing that bothered him the most "Was you"
She remembered the unnatural wind surrounding him, the intense smell of jungle filling her nose and the shrieking that seemed to come from everywhere. But above all she remembered the blue eyes, shining with something akin to madness and malice when facing the two aliens. Maybe, if she could consider the origins of the power, she could say that it wasn't madness, not even something evil, but primal. They had to find a way to train him, or at least test his powers and how conscious he was in that state, for his soul and sanity more than for anything else.
But above all she remembered how he had floated in front of him, and when he opened his eyes, the usual loving brown in his eyes was there, watching her, loving her.
She had never felt more safe than in that moment.
Ron wasn't facing her, but she spoke knowing he would listen "When we were escaping the ship I kept thinking what we were going to do with them. If we managed to stop the invasion, or later when they were captured by Drakken, what we were going to do? We had already let Warmonga go, and she came back to conquer the world, what if we let them go too? What would be the next thing? Could we let them stay here as prisoners? What our scientist would do to them? Would they even allow something like this? Would they burn with our entire world before being captured?"
Ron was looking at her now, he hadn't thought of that, and Kim continued "I was reaching the point when I knew how all of this was going to end, even if I didn't want to, even if I was thinking about as a last option" This was hard for her, despite their dangerous missions, there were rules and she knew that with their arch foes that choice was never going to be made. But Warmonga and Warhok were different. "I was ready to do it, for all of us, and for you too. And trust me when I say I would do anything to take away your pain, even that" Now Ron was looking at her open mouthed and she felt self conscious "Wouldn't you have understood if I have done it? Would you still love me?" She too had her fears concerning Ron. She didnt know what would happen to her if Ron stopped looking at her with love, devotion but above all trust.
"Of course Kim" She smiled, but knew that Ron wasn't completely convinced.
"But that's the problem Kim, you knew, you thought about it, I didn't! I just acted, I don't even remember making the decision, I just did! You were thinking about the invasion, the machines, consequences, I wasn't, I shouldn't have this powers, I cant be trusted with this"
"Ron you are the most caring person I've ever knew. And I am not the only one thinking like this. Sensei, Yori " Her tone went a little darker saying her name "they all believed in you. And they were right! You saved the whole world! You did what you had to, and the fact that you are now struggling with what happened should be proof enough that there is no better person to carry this power"
She was smiling at him, but still he couldn't shook away Warmonga's scream before crashing with the ship
"Ron it will take time to heal, it wont be easy and you have every right to feel like this, but know that I don't blame you, I don't think any less of you and I'm glad that you stepped up to save me. And when you are felling sad or angry or whatever, know that I am always going to be there for you. You are not alone in this, we are Team Possible, you are my boyfriend, not only when we are wining, but also when we are felling down. Specially in those moments"
What he had ever done to deserve having her in his life? He was still feeling guilty, but knowing that Kim was still there, and even that at some point she felt the same gave him a little peace. He smiled at her and she respond in kind, followed by a yawn from her cutting the silent moment "Guess the day is finally catching up with me"
She smiled, kissed him and left him with a promise that he would try to get some sleep too.
There were a million things going around his head but eventually he fell asleep too. It wasn't until the next morning that he realized that he hadn't suffered any nightmares.

Wade had been working like crazy since the alien invasion stopped. First it was to make an assessment of the invasion, mostly to see if all the machines had actually stopped and the lowardians hadn't left any surprise.
After that, and finding that his parents and house were safe and in one place, he had worked to fix worldwide communications, it was a slow process, the aliens had done more damage than just a simple black out, but starting from Middleton he was being connected to the rest of the world.
Except from Middleton most of the world had suffered minimum damage and casualties, this had been personal for sure and the city had suffered the most. Even then the process had been so smooth and had last so little that most of the city was functional, most of the people lived in the suburbs and mostly office buildings, fortunately unoccupied at the moment, had been destroyed. The exceptions being the Possible's house and part of the school.
Knowing that almost everyone was in good shape and the world started fixing itself, he started on some side projects. He needed to know more about the Lowardians, even if it meant searching on every secret facility on the world. He hacked GJ main frame and the US government and army, but it had been a waste of time, he knew that there was only one place where they could have something about their aliens invaders.
Area 51
The worst kept secret of the world, was actually really well protected against ground and air forces, its defenses in that aspect only comparable with their cyber security. It had taken far longer than intended and had only found very little information.
Reports of other alien races talking about the scourge of the universe, whose might was feared across the cosmos.
How some lowardians were in search of something called the Great Blue, a messiah kind of being that would gave them power beyond their wildest dreams. He remembered Warmonga confusing Drakken with that. Those other explorers, and he hadn't really went deep enough to know what had happened to them, were also trying to find him, a last gamble to use the Great Blue against their oppressors.
There was also a link to the meteorite that had landed years ago and given powers to the Go family, along with detailed reports on their powers, but classified nonetheless as a failure by the directors of the investigation. Having little interest in mutants they let them go on their own. They had been prisoners for months and suddenly thrown away without a second thought.
There were other reports all saying mostly the same, planets first conquered by a single ship, drained of its natural resources and techological developments, and left the survivors to starve in a dying planet. As long as the planet had resources they would use the natives as a slave force. The process went planet by planet , only stopped momentarily by territorial fights among the lowardian ranks. How Area 51 had gotten this information he didn't dare to investigate.
His next project was to figure out what had happened after Drakken had managed to stop the lowardian machines, it all seemed to be going well, a small victory in the large scale but a victory nonetheless, when some kind of energy destroyed the mother ship and stopped the worldwide invasion.
He had used every trick he knew of, cellphones, transit cameras, Tim and Jim's satellite, if there was a camera or mic in the area he was getting the images.
His jaw fell to the floor when he got his first shots. He couldn't believe what was seeing, Ron in what could only be a Mystical Monkey Power powered up phase, had defeated in less than a minute the biggest threats the universe had ever seen.
This was incredible! This was ground breaking, a new era not only of technological advancement but also in magic was at their door.
This was dangerous... he realized as his excitement was replaced with dread.
He remembered what had happened to the Go family, and they were just kids, Wego had only been babies. He noticed also how Ron's aura was blue, and couldn't help to wonder it he was the Great Blue the universe was searching for. The power he held seemed to support that theory.
But it didn't really matter if he was or not, everyone was scared, and if Area 51 had done all that in a time of peace, what could they do now? This could be dangerous, but he needed more time to investigate, he needed to talk to Kim and Ron, maybe even contact Yamanuchi.
He needed more time and info.
But for now he could protect his friends. He started downloading all the data and erasing it from the sources, no one but him would get their hands on this. He really hoped that no one else had seen this in person besides Kim.
An alarm appeared on his computer signaling that GJ was trying to do what he had already done, and was glad it took them all that long. By the time they started everything was blank. Signals lost, videos cut short, there wasn't any indication that something had happened in that zone.
It would at least win them some time. GJ might not be the most effective in stopping Draken and company, but they were still a very dedicated group of people under the competent Dr Director.
Just to make sure he hacked GJ to see if they had managed to find anything, and was glad when he realized that they were in the dark, they had to many protocols to follow, and was glad they did since that meant they had started searching late.
Kim and Ron were his best friends, they together, as a team saved the world, he would save them too.
VI
James and Anne entered Dean's office in the house. Danna had asked them and were surprised to find Ron there too, nervous but happy.
Dean started talking "I don't know if you remember but since he created the Naco he is entitled to royalties from worldwide sales of the product a small percentage sure but it was a very popular product. However after the Diablo incident the company was sold and the new owners tried to cut their losses. Slowly they took away the Naco from the menu. According to the contract they would send a check when the royalties reached a certain amount or a determined time passed. A week ago we received a letter with the last royalties he would ever receive"
Rons mother continued "The first time we let him have it all at once, a lot of people thought we were crazy, that a 15 year old couldn't be trusted with that money, that we were negligent of out boy" She looked sadly at his son "And maybe we were. So when this one came we decided to save it and talk to him about it, we were going to wait till graduation but then everything happened that we just talked about it today"
The Possibles were uncertain, while they were incredible happy for their non official son they didn't get why they were telling them this, but frowned when Ron started talking.
"And people were right, I shouldn't have been trusted with all that money at 15, I shouldn't be trusted with all that … " Power he thought with some irony "Money now either, but that doesn't mean that all that money cant be be used for a good cause, that why we are creating a non profit organization to help the city with the reconstruction, starting with the school... " he faltered a second "and your house." It would take a lot of planing and help, but the last time he had all that money it had transformed him, and he didn't want that, he just didn't want to add more temptation to his already cracking sanity.
Anne gasped and James jaw hit the floor. Anne however was the first to recover "Ron, sweaty, its an incredible generous offer but we cant accept it. That's a lot of money, you should save it for yourself, we will be fine" She wanted to hug him, this boy she loved like her a son was offering so much, but they just couldn't accept it.
Dean answered her "Anne you don't have to worry about Ronald, there was enough to separate a part for his future, he should be able to do anything he wants or needs, and there is a lot of money left"
James had finally recovered "But but we cant, you already given us so much"
Danna smiled at them "We could sit here all day and tell you how it is reasonable to accept the gift, how a lot of people wont trust a new organization that only wants to help, how we will need all the help we can and how rebuilding the house of the hero that saves the world in her weekends is almost necessary. But the truth is that Ron, and we of course, love you. We know you can do it on your own, but your daughter had given so much for the world, and your family had given so much love to our son that we really cant accept a no as an answer. You are all family to us and we could never let you though this alone"
The shock had passed but Anne, while deeply touched, wasn't convinced "But that's the thing, there are a lot of families that could use the help more than us, it wouldn't be right!"
Dean smiled "Actually except from some buildings downtown, most of the damage was in roads and your house was the one that took more damage, we had Wade run some analysis. The money wont be enough to rebuild everything but it should cover most of the houses fixes and we are hoping to get some traction and hope that other millionaires would follow the example"
"When exactly did you planed all of this" Asked James
Danna nodded to his son "We wanted to surprise all of you with some breakfast and later talk to Ron, but he was awake in siting in the kitchen" An almost haunted look passed though his features and Anne wanted nothing more than hug him to take whatever was bothering away "And there inst that much planing honestly, this is the idea, it will take some work to create it and manage it, most of the ideas come from Ron, we can smooth the details later, and would gladly accept any help"
As one both Possibles hugged Ron "Look Ron we don't know if we can accept, this is too much, but we will think about it OK? We will help you with this of course, but this is a little to much all at once" Ron nodded and felt a weight lifted over his shoulders. Anne release her hug and took his face in her hands "We love you Ron and we really think that what you want to do is only proof of your big heart. All those years ago Kim wasn't the only one to discover you. We did too and never regretted it." She smiled at him and Ron couldn't help but smile too, he loved all of them, even the Tweebs, but he knew he had a special care for her. He left to the kitchen leaving the adults alone felling better than the last 2 days.
The Possibles watched him go to the kitchen, James was already drooling about the breakfast that boy would prepare, but then turned towards his parents to tell them that hey couldn't accept it, but were stopped when Dean started talking "We are proud of him you know? He didn't want any of the money and thinking about all of you, not just Kim, he came to this idea"
His wife continued "We know that this is hard to accept, he wanted to give money for Hannah's college fund and we are still not sure about accepting. So we understand how you must feel. But I beg of you accept it, for him" That shocked the Possibles.
Dean took his wife hand "We never were the best parents, we know it, we took him from granted, we didn't communicate with him" They both closed their eyes and the Possibles didn't know what to say to them " But though all that not only Kim was there but also you, you probably were more parents to him than us" Anne wanted nothing more than to hug Danna when she saw a tear in her eyes "He loves Kim with all his heart, we all know it, but he loves you too. You had given so much to him over the years, things we never did, and we wouldn't ask of you more if it wasn't really necessary. But we ask you anyway, just one more time, for him"
"He had been feeling so lost" Continued Danna "This is the first time in weeks that he has a goal, not receiving any letter, not even rejection letter hurts him, even if he didn't realize it. He wants to do this and we support him, and we asked of you to do the same. We don't have any right to ask more of you, but please"
James looked at Anne and with a glance at her face knew that they would accept it. It was a gift, unnecessary, but something given from his heart, and if it helped him feel better with himself they would do it in an instant. Black holes threats, complains about the food he ate were just jokes, they loved him, and hadn't realized that he was hurting so much. He was a part of their life as well as their sons and daughter. He took her hand and smiled at her, and she smiled back. "Ok guys we accept, I cant believe we are doing this, but for him we accept"
Danna relaxed and seemed to be a breath away to crying and Anne couldn't take it anymore and hugged her, while James grab his friend shoulder.
What felt like a nice moment between both families was cut short by the ring bell, followed by Kim shouting he would take it and then silence.
When they approached the door to see what was happening the Possibles were shocked to silence for the second time in the morning.
There with a shy Dr Drakken waving at them from behind, stood Shego.
It took a little longer than anticipated, and while Im not 100% sure about putting everything I wanted from the Kim/Ron scene I'm actually really proud of how it turned out, specially the last part.
Now all that is left is the final chapter! Again thanks to everyone that read and reviewed, every message is very welcome! Again sorry for the mistakes and grammar!
