Part VI
Now that the operation was over and enemies were vanquished; the 2 paramilitary agencies proceeded to squabble about 'who did what' and 'who gets what', while Kim, Ron, Shang Chi, and the Drs. Possible and Manchu looked on in amusement.
"Lissen here St. George, I don't care how many outstanding warrants you have for an arrest or 'sanction', Fu Manchu is NOT leaving US soil since he: 1) asked for asylum; 2) has information we ALL need; 3) is a guest of the US Government. So put a sock in it!" said The Specialist.
"You CAN"T do this," the MI6 team leader said, "The man is a KNOWN SCOURGE to the free world and is a butcher! We've worked this case for 5 years!"
"I think you're mad 'cause a 'cheerleader' saved your ass during an 'illegal' Black Op on US soil and your boss isn't gonna like how things turned out!"
"That's it!" St. George screamed as he activated his comlink, "I'm calling the UN Secretary General right now! You won't get away with this!"
"Go ahead."
While St. George made his call on his link, The Specialist calmly waved Ron over while pulling a cigar out of a humidor that he pulled out of the many pockets on his jumpsuit, lit it, and gave him a 'LOOONNNGG' wink with his LEFT eye.
'OH SHIT!' Ron thought, 'UNC?!'
"Don't let on, nephew," Nick Fury whispered, "couldn't resist seein' how your 'girlfriend' fared under fire. Gotta say I'm impressed!"
"?"
"I took off the patch and put on one o' the Lab Boy's synthiflesh disguises. Cool huh?"
"She's just my best friend, dude!" Ron whispered.
"Uh huh… I'm gonna talk to ya' about this later. Cool it! Ya' girl's comin' over!"
"What are you guys mumbling about over here?" Kim asked.
"Nothing!" they chorused.
"Sure." Kim said with a raised eyebrow, "Sir I'd like to ask a question."
"Go ahead."
"What happened to the 2 Si-Fan you were fighting?"
"Shot 'em…" Puff, "nonlethally…" Puff, "in the ankles, knees, and hips…" Puff, "with a high velocity flechette in each joint. Why'd ya ask?"
"Ohh uhh," Kim turned green at this, "no reason…" she squeaked.
"Look Kid, yer Mom was in trouble so I followed the rules for guy's like them…"
"Which are," Kim gagged.
"No women an' no kids, this line of works' hard enough as it is without some CRAZY bastard causin' extra problems. 'Scuze me I gotta get back to work. Nice meetin' your 'GIRLFRIEND' Ron." Nick said as he walked away.
"BEST FRIEND," they chorused in beetroot harmony.

"Do not worry Anne, they will awaken to what's in their hearts for each other." Shang said.
"I know, but it's SO much fun seeing them grow together!" Anne said, "Excuse me Sirs while I talk to our friends." And with that Anne went over to the arguing team leaders.
"The prophecy IS true… what an amazing couple," Fu Manchu said.
"Beware father… they are family to me…"
"I would not dream of it my son, they WILL be spared any involvement in my 'interests'" Fu Manchu said.
"Good."
"You know why I'm here…"
"Yes…"
"And?"
"I… have forgiven you… but you must still meet justice."
"I understand."
While they were speaking Kim and Ron walked over.
"Yo Fu Manchu," Ron said as he bowed to the 'Devil Doctor'.
"Hello."
"It is our honor to meet such a 'legendary' person as yourself," Ron said in perfect Hakka.
"The honor is mine," Fu Manchu replied in Hakka.
"Thank you, Sir," Ron replied.
"Ron…"
"Don't worry KP, I just told him it was our honor to meet him."
"Ron, since when do you know his language?"
"I dunno, guess it's the ol' Monkey Power!"
"Ms. Possible it is an honor to meet you and your 'partner'… I have dreamed of the day when I would meet you both."
'He seems SO harmless' Kim thought, 'like my grandpa!'
"It is an honor to meet you sir…" she bowed, "may I ask why you needed to see my mother?"
"I have a 'condition' that requires your mother's expertise… I must apologize for the way my problems have arisen on your path… such was not my intent!"
'He's smooth…' she thought.
"Ah, if only I were a few centuries younger… truly your beauty is as flawless as the Dragon's Pearl! You are as graceful as your mother!" Fu Manchu said with a sparkle in his eye.
'CORRECTION… very smooth…' she thought.
"In my day such a maiden would be considered quite a how do you say… 'catch' as a wife… have you not considered this my son?"
"NO I HAVE NOT FATHER!" Shang cried, "she is my colleague and friend… furthermore" in whispered Hakka, "her heart belongs to another… she hasn't realized it yet…"
'HEH!' Ron thought.
"So you're betrothed to this one?" Fu asked as he pointed at a beetroot Ron.
"Uhh no sir," a SCARLET Kim squeaked, "We've just been best friends since Pre-K…"
'CORRECTION… VERY DANGEROUS!' she amended.
"That is a good way to start…"
'I'm gonna die… RON AS MY BFBF… THAT'S IT HE'S EVIL!'
"Please Father Behave…"
"…"
"Dude," Ron said to Fu Manchu, "I've been researching ancient Chinese recipes without great success and I humbly bow to your considerable experience in such matters."
"It would be my pleasure!"
"!" thought Kim.

"Sir," Anne said to Nick while she pointed at Fu Manchu, "I need to get this man to a hospital STAT."
"No problem, let me 'clear it' with St. George here… Well?"
"I'm to render whatever assistance… you require… per the Queen's, President's, and Secretary General's orders…" said a terrified St. George.
"Great, you're 2nd in command of the security detail then."
"May I ask who's in charge sir?"
"The 'cheerleader' for security and her mother."
"Sir?"
"Are you deaf?"
"No sir!"
"Then get to it!"

Later that day at Middleton Medical Center's Research wing…
"I have your test results."
"And?"
"You aren't dying… this is quite amazing really… I only know of one other case like yours…"
"…"
"The nanobots show no tissue damage… you're very healthy, internally you're a vigorous 35 years of age…"
"…"
"Your body's rejecting the serum because you don't need it so far… however…"
"I do not need to take the serum?! Then why am I healing at a normal rate!"
"It due to the high levels of toxins that you've exposed yourself to over the years while pursuing your 'interests'."
"!"
"The price you've paid for your 'immortality' is a high one… you will live a very long time… however it will be at a normal human's rate of healing for injuries… and I wouldn't put that to the test…"
"BEEP" went Anne Possible's intercom.
"Yes?"
"They're here."
"Send them in."
Kim, Ron, The Specialist (Fury), and James Possible came into Anne's office.
"?" Fu Manchu thought as he looked at them.
"As a doctor my job is to treat the sick no matter who they are. But as a humanitarian my responsibility is to EVERY human being on this planet. Therefore I have a proposition for you…" Anne stated with a glint in her eye.
"?"
"Give up your evil ways and The Director of SHIELD will grant you a pardon authorized by the UN."
"And if I refuse?"
"For starters, I'll tell them your real name. I found during my research into Asian history references to a man named…"
"No!"
"The other price you pay is that since you're genes are laced with self replicating nanobots you may be tracked…"
Fu Manchu grew VERY pale…
"Or how should I say this… 'amputated' if you don't behave."
"UHH OHHH!" said Rufus from Ron's pocket.
'Whoa Mom's hardcore!' Kim thought.
'Glad Mrs. Dr. P. likes me!' thought Ron.
"!"
"And to prove that I mean business…" Anne walked over to Fu Manchu, whispered in his ear and retuned to her desk.
"Should anything happen to me…"
"HA, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha! I accept!" Fu Manchu turned to James Possible and said, "Consider yourself to be blessed by heaven James Possible for you are married to a Kylin! It's a shame that I meet such a one and she's taken!" Fu turned to Ron, "You should take notes for the daughter will be like her mother!"
---
Later still at the Med Center…
"Kim, Ron I have to go…" Shang Chi quietly said.
"We… know…" Kim choked out.
"Shang…" sobbed Kim, "You'll come back… some… day?"
"I'll come to your wedding… take care of her Ron… She's the greatest treasure in your life…" Shang said as he entwined Kim and Ron's hands.
"I will…"
And with that Shang Chi left…
---
"Dear," James Possible said to his lovely bride at her office, "what's a Kylin?"
Anne walked over to her husband, massaged several special areas in his ear with her tongue and said with a Dragon's Smile, "Any questions?"
"NO MAAM!"
---
"Hey KP, y'know you're my best friend an' all… but…"
"Awkweird?"
"Yeah."
"Me too… Bueno Nacho?"
"Coolio!"
---
Interlude…
Somewhere in the Carribean…
"All operations are moving smoothly Sir!" the AIM technician told his green jumpsuited commander.
"And Fury?"
"Fu Manchu couldn't tell him anything except that his suspicions are correct."
"Good. Team Possible?"
"They should be ready to test your mettle in 3 more years as planned."
"Wonderful. When the world sees us crush that accursed Fury and Team Possible they WILL despair. It will prove to be a great victory when Drakken as my unwitting pawn sets things in motion."
