A/N: I don't own Kim Possible, Jinx, or any of the characters from any of the shows. This story idea came to me while watching too much TV as I recovered from surgery. This story takes place instead of Dimension Twist at that time in the Kim Possible TV Show and after The Brotherhood of Evil season finale for Teen Titans TV Show.
The story presupposes that Ron kept up his studies at Yamanouchi –See Exchange Student- two weeks every summer. A year or two Kim may have been upset but after that it just became another part of Ron's never be normal.
'Speech"
'Thought'
This was my first short story (I hope! They, the stories just kept growing like that bio-thingy in KP's 'Mother's Day'.)

CRISSCROSS
Kim opened her eyes to stare blankly at a grayish-white textured ceiling. She had a throbbing headache and a sense of déjà vu that seem to go with hospital rooms or nondescript motel rooms. After she sat up slowly and swung her feet off of the bed and on the floor, Kim noticed that her backpack, her purse, and the military surplus belt with its pouches was gone, even her cargo pant's pockets were empty. The only furnishings in the room were a bed and a chair, both made of metal and welded to the floor. There were stainless steel bathroom room fixtures at one end of the room but no privacy.
Kim slowly looked the ceiling over, from long experience with villains on missions and tweebs/or Wade at home, Kim knew where to look for hidden cameras and/or microphones.
Sure enough she found three camera 'bugs', 'Perverts.' Kim thought.
Kim knew some Middleton High School cheer moves that could knockout all three cameras in a matter of seconds.
'Where's Ron? We're almost never separated.' Kim wondered
On the kitchen table, Raven and Starfire inspected Kim's mission tools and personal possessions.
"What is this?" inquired Starfire holding a short golden tube that was covered at both ends.
Raven cocked one eyebrow, "Its lipstick."
"This is a weapon then? To seal the mouth of an enemy who needs to chant or is annoying like the foul mouthed Gizmo?"
"No, this is considered a beauty aid and can be bought in the Jump City Mall."
"Then we will have to go to the Mall of Shopping to investigate this later, yes?"
"No."
The green Teen Titan stared at the pink hairless rodent, "So what are you anyway?"
"You're the animal expert, you tell us." Cyborg said from the couch.
"Look! I only change into animals that are useful." Beastboy exclaimed, "The only use I can think of for this pink thing is as a gross-out pet."
Cyborg stood up and looked Beastboy in the eye. "Well sometimes that's what I think of you as, only green instead of pink."
"That's it! I challenge you to a duel, one on one, face to face!" said Beastboy, bottom fangs showing.
"As the challenged party, I get to choose weapons and I CHOOSE THE VIDEOGAME, ROBOT RALLY XV!" shouted Cyborg in triumph.
"Aw man! I stink at that game." groaned Beastboy.
Raven pinned Beastboy to his chair with her angry stare, "And while you made this challenge with Cyborg what happened to our small pink captive?"
At a loss for an answer, Beastboy shrugged and said, "Gone, I guess?"
"Find him." ordered Raven.
"Cyborg, will you please try once more to contact Titans East and tell them that we have an infestation and could use some assistance in pest removal." Raven didn't like to say this but who knew how many other beings from the other dimension would also show up if the hole was not found and stopped?
Kim stood up by the bed only to have her loose fitting cargo pants slide down to her ankles.
Kim glared up in the direction of one of the cameras, "Oh snap! Jinx! When I get out of here you and your gang are so going to wish that you tangled with Shego instead me!"
Kim pulled her cargo pants back up and sat down on the bed to think.
Ron woke up in a strange bed alone but that didn't faze him. Ron was used to waking up in strange beds alone but this was not exactly what he expected after that hot shower scene with Pinky. Man, what a bod! Even if it is grey, all grey, well almost all grey. His belts and tools were missing but what worried him most was that his little bud Rufus was also gone. Kim could take care of herself but Rufus needed him.
Ron lay down with his head on the pillow and started the breathing exercises he learned at Yamanouchi to relax for mediation.
The Sensei tried to teach him some simple mantras but they never made sense to Ron nor did they help him to relax. So he made up his own chant, "Nachos, extra cheese, grandee sized, nachos, extra cheese, grandee sized, nachos, extra cheese, grandee sized…"
Raven's head whipped around like a pointer's on target. She stared down the hallway; there was a disturbance in the mystical energies, a small one to be sure. But even a small one when there should be none had to be investigated. "Cyborg I need you in the control room."
"Friend Raven, the smell from this Kissy Lips lip gloss reminds me of the Western Dismal Swamp of Tamerian. Ah. Such good times I had there as a child."
"It smells like somebody's gym locker or a pair of old sweat socks to me." Raven deadpanned.
Out of curiosity Starfire never did find out how that killed a cat. Starfire followed Raven and Cyborg into the Security Control Room. As they entered the Control Room the three of them saw that the room had been subject to violent damage and vandalism. The vinyl seat covers were melted and torn, the control panel smashed, except for two monitor panels, the ones over looking Ron's and Kim's rooms.
On the wall over the work station, was a crude caricature of a human head peeking over a wall/fence burned into the wall and burned over the drawing were the words Killroy was here.
"Please, who is this Killroy and why was he here?" asked the perplexed Starfire.
"Never mind, with Robin hurt; he could be harmed by whoever did this. I think that you should stay with him until Titans East arrives."
Starfire left and literally flew to Robin's bedside.
Raven looked at the mess and asked Cyborg, "See what you can do. I have a bad feeling that this Killroy character might be a psychopath. Kori and Gar have little idea of the depths of true evil that a human being can sink too."
"Meanwhile, I'll try to find out why those two monitors were untouched. Perhaps our two guests can shed some light on this."
As she listened to all this Shego smirked to herself. She had vandalized the Security Control Room to cover the theft of the tapes made during her fight in the Medical Room so that the teen heroes would have no record of her. But instead of just covering her tracks, Shego had inadvertently caused some major confusion for the occupants of the tower and even better, caused trouble for Kim and her buffoon and even for Pinky.
'It can't get any better than this.' Shego thought with glee. Later that night Shego dropped down into the kitchen for something to eat. Whatever was in the refrigerator, Shego decided not to chance it. She couldn't decide if it was her imagination or some of the stuff in there was alive. Either way she couldn't take a chance in an unknown dimension. So Shego left the refrigerator door open and raided the canned goods and dry packaged foods instead.
"This is where the mystic disturbance is coming from." Thought Raven as she looked at the two doors at the end of the hall, she turned to the door on her right where the 'feeling' was strongest. After the door silently split apart to slide open Raven stepped into to Confinement Room to peer at the blond teen boy who appeared to be sleeping. But Raven knew better, he was either in a light trance or meditating.
Ron had gone into to breathing exercise to calm himself down and true to his nature, he fell asleep. Ron woke with an itchy feeling between his shoulder blades that he was watched. His brown eyes opened to look curiously at the impassive hooded young woman who stood at the foot of his bed.
Ron kicked up with both feet with the intention of completing a reverse roll over his head to a handstand and push off into a flip that would allow him to land on his feet behind the head of the bed and face the blue cloaked woman with the length of the bed between them. At least that was the plan; instead Ron made a body slam at full tilt into the wall behind the head of the bed. Ron crumpled back on the bed in an untidy heap.
'The report that Jinx made about him was correct in almost all particulars.' Thought Raven as she left the room to check on her other 'guest', Kim Something, and see if the reports on her are true. Before Kim's door to the Confinement Room split open, the alarm on her Titan Communications Device sounded. Raven answered only to have Cyborg warn her that Kim had knocked out all three cameras with a series of kicks and jumps.
"Stay where you are until someone is there as backup. This Kim can be dangerous." Said Cyborg over the T-monitor.
Raven frowned at this. "Not a good idea. The first intruder, that Jinx calls Green Granny in still on the loose, a potential psychopath we know only as Killroy is also loose and then there is that pink animal Beastboy lost control of. Not to mention I need you to plug that hole between dimensions up before anymore uninvited guests come here."
After she took a deep breath, Raven had the door to Kim's room slide open and stepped in. Only to be kicked without warning with a reverse spin kick to Raven's left ribs and she went down like a pole axed steer. Before Raven recovered from the attack Kim had had shoved some wadded mattress sheet in Raven's mouth and tied a gag, then tied her ankles and wrists together with strips torn from the remainder of the mattress sheet.
Before she stood up Kim hissed in Raven's ear, "You tell the pink haired villainess that her gang isn't big enough, I'll still bring it down. If any of my teammates are hurt, you people are so going to pay for that."
Kim adjusted her belt made from mattress sheet, jumped over the bound Raven with a short hop, and went to find her teammates. Kim ran into Ron's Confinement Room even though she knew there was a good chance that the surveillance cameras in this room were still active. She threw Ron over her shoulder in a fireman's carry and jogged out the room and down the hall towards the center of the 'T' building and pushed the down button for the elevator. Once the elevator started down, Kim carried Ron up the fire escape stairs until she reached the roof. To her right Kim saw the small square elevator shaft housing. After she opened the maintenance door, Kim pulled her best friend in the small room with the elevator motor and its drum of cable. There they hid and rested away from prying eyes for the first time in hours.
Rufus hid under the couch until that evening and watched Shego raid the kitchen for food with his beady little eyes. After she disappeared back up into the ceiling, Rufus made a beeline for the refrigerator in hopes of finding some cheese. He took one bite of the tofu and threw it on the floor. After his fill, of what he could recognize as food, Rufus looked for a hiding place and found a nesting place in an old pile of dirty clothes in the back of Beastboy's closet. Somehow that reminded him of Ron's room, even if the scent is different.
Wade lost contact with Team Possible as soon as they entered Dr. Drakken's old lair and couldn't reestablish it. He was forced to give up when the overhead satellite reported an explosion large enough to destroy the lair. Wade contacted Doctor Director, head of Global Justice, with his information. An SAR (Search and Rescue) team was dispatched as fast as GJ could get it airborne. Nearby Middleton Hospital was alerted to the emergency.
At Yamanouchi, Sensei was worried, He could no longer sense the Chosen One but the Lotus Blade glowed blue which indicated that he was still alive, somewhere.
