A/N: Real life intrudes. More hospital time, recovery, and a general drain of any desire to do anything after all this led to the delay in this chapter. I'll try to get back on track.

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.

'Speech"

"Speech in a foreign language or word"

'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'.) It just grew and grew like those Bittersweet Choke weeds we see everywhere.

CRISSCROSS

7. HOME AGAIN, HOME AGAIN, JIGITTY-JIG

"Jinx told me, ahem, after a slight reimbursement, that we need to find and capture Gizmo in order to send the intruders back where they came from. They are going to stay until we can find a way to send them back to where they belong." Robin stated to his team.

Somewhere in Jump City, Gizmo sneezed.

Not taking his eyes from the TV screen Mammoth rumbled "Gesundheit." and continued to watch a Japanese cartoon show about a little yellow electric mouse and his trainer.

"Why do you watch that stuff for anyway?" Gizmo complained. "Didn't I tell you that those cartoons will rot what few functioning brain cells you have?"

Mammoth thought for a moment, "Hey Giz, they" jerking his thumb at the TV screen, "always show someone sneezing when they're being talked about behind their backs."

Gizmo snorted, "Get a grip moron! I'm talking about real life not some cartoon, anime, or whatever you want to call it."

Ron and Kim sat next to one another as they each mentally reviewed the past events. They had been told that they were not prisoners so much as 'enforced guests' in a room with a locked door.

Kim tried everything in her 'bag of tricks' to no avail while Ron sat back and thought about their options, he even tried to relax and meditate with the Mystical Monkey Power to contact the Sensei in Yamanouchi back wherever they left it. 'Nachos, extra cheese, grandee sized, nachos, extra cheese, grandee sized, nachos, extra cheese, grandee sized…'

After what seemed forever, the two stopped trying and looked somberly at one another and said in unison.

"I got nothin'."

"Jinx! You owe me a soda!"

What they didn't know is that the Special Security Room was built to hold super powered villains of all types and that the efforts of a teenage heroine whose motto is 'I can do anything.' didn't make any impression on the featureless room, not even a scratch with her laser 'lipstick'. The room had also been 'sealed' against mystical, psi, or supernatural powers used by many demons, warlocks, witches, and villains who were not 'run of the mill'.

Robin's eyes narrowed behind his mask. "Play that last part back again. It might be some kind of code."

"Jinx! You owe me a soda!" sounded over the loudspeakers in the still damaged Security Control Room.

Robin could not remember his seeing Cyborg recently so he turned and asked Raven where his metallic and flesh friend was.

"Out."

Because he needed to talk to him about repairs and their 'enforced guests' Robin was forced to ask Raven, "Do you happen to where he is? Our central commutations systems are still down so our T-Coms can't work."

"No."

"No?" Robin's cheek began to twitch again.

"No, I can't help you, computers aren't my thing."

"Raven I hate it when you give me answers with little or no information in them."

Raven sighed, "Look, He's out seeing someone and wants some privacy, is that so hard to understand?"

Robin gave up the fruitless conversation with Raven and turned to Beastboy. "BB, go bring Jinx from her room to here. There are some questions I'd like to ask her."

The short green Titan saluted and trotted away to find the teen-aged girl the Teen Titan Leader wanted to talk to.

Beastboy returned a short time later, "She's not here! She's not anywhere in the Tower."

Robin's twitch was acting up again as he turned to face Raven. "You knew, didn't you?'

"Clarify."

"Don't play coy with me Raven," Robin ground out, "you knew that both Cyborg and Jinx are missing!"

"Yes."

"Raven, will you stop with these one word answers and tell me just what in Sam Hill is going on?" asked an exasperated Robin.

'Now I understand why Batman likes to work alone.' thought Robin.

Raven rolled her eyes and said, "Cyborg has left the Tower and gone to get something to eat with a friend and neither of them wants to be disturbed unless it's an emergency. Which this clearly is not."

In a rare moment of sympathy, Raven said softly. "The Team has been working hard, nonstop for too long, they need a break. Nothing big some rest, relaxation in the company of others doing something not related to work. You might try that with Kori, you know, take her to a movie and dinner."

To say Shego was flaming mad at Doctor Drakken would have been something of an understatement. They had gone in search of another dimension to get away from a teen hero and her sidekick and what happens? True to his track record, the incompetent bungler had dumped and stranded her in a dimension filled with teen super heroes.

Where there are a lot super heroes, then it stands to reason that there must be a lot super villains and Shego was not too wild about that. Villains, super or not, are notoriously territorial. The idea of her being the 'new kid on the block' in this dimension did not appeal even half as much as when she was 'top dog' in her home dimension with only a few super powered villains.

This left Shego with few options and none of them very palatable. Shego stood up and stalked out of her makeshift camp. "It looks like I'll have to compare notes with little Miss Perfect and her dubious choice of a boyfriend if we want a chance of going home, there's no future in staying here, that's obvious."

Teen Titans East, plus Starfire, searched Jump City for Mammoth and Gizmo; the intensive search had the minor criminals scurrying like cockroaches for new cover as their old hideouts were uncovered by Teen Titans East in their search for Jinx's old companions in crime.

The Jump City Police Department was also caught by surprise and was severely short handed and needed help to arrest and book the suspects flushed out by the Teen Titan's thorough building by building search, the Police Auxiliary, and help from the state had to be called in.

At the end of the fourth day, the Titans were headed back to the Tower when Bumblebee said to Starfire. "I don't know about you but I think that shrimpy Gizmo guy went to but I think he jumped in a hole and pulled it in after him."

"Yes friend Bumblebee, he can do that." Starfire agreed sadly.

Bumblebee stopped flying forward and hovered in front of Starfire, "WHAT! Are you serious? That's a whole new ballgame!"

"SNAP! Now what'll we do? That snot nosed bugger could be anywhere."

The Special Security Room was built to hold super powered villains of all types and keep them from breaking out and prevent their escape. What it was Not designed to do was to stop a skilled super powered villainess from breaking Into the Special Security Room.

The titanium and steel door fell inwards with a thunderous crash and Shego jumped over the wreckage to face the two teens as they stood in defensive postures.

'You know, for someone who is supposed to be a ninja as well as a thief, you sure are noisy." Kim commented.

"Sorry Kimmy we haven't got the time. Move now, talk later!" Shego said breathlessly as she made hurry up gestures with both hands.

The two heroes looked at Shego in surprise; she was the last person either of them expected to show up.

"Come on! Move it! As one seagull said to another 'Let's get the flock outta here!'" Shego urged. 'Really just how dense can these two be?'

"You're not going anywhere." A voice in the hall in the hall behind Shego stated flatly.

"Merde." Shego muttered to herself. It was loud enough for both Ron and Kim to hear Shego's exclamation. The two teens reacted differently. Ron looked puzzled while Kim's ears turned bright pink.

"Don't worry about it Ron, it's one of those French words that would be a four letter word in English." was Kim's cryptic explanation.

"Oh." was Ron's confused reply.

"SURRENDER NOW! THERE'S NO PLACE FOR YOU TO RUN! WE HAVE YOU OUTNUMBERED AND SURROUNDED!

Raven glared at her teammate, Robin, "Did you really have to yell like that? They are only about twenty feet away and I'm standing right next to you. Next time, give some warning so I can move far away, like to Australia."

Shego stormed out of the room, followed by Kim and Ron to face the Teen Titans that stood in the hall to block their escape.

"Che coglione! LISTEN UP! GET OUT OF THE WAY OR GET RUN OVER, YOUR CHOICE!

'Ron-san, Ron-san!'[

Ron started to wave his arms above his head, "Voices in my head. Get them out! GET THEM OUT!"

Kim ignored the teen at the other end of the hall and pinned Ron's arms to his sides in a furious hug that made them both blush. "Ron, cool it. You're so not helping."

'Ron, this is your Sensei. Your connection with the Lotus Blade has maintained this bond across the dimensions. But in order to retrieve all who crossed over with you we need all of you to maintain a heightened Ki level for ten to fifteen minuets, do you think you can get them to do it ?'

'Hai, I mean yes.' Ron thought.

The Teen Titans East were headed back to the tower when Speedy called to his leader on the TTE T-Com. "Lovebirds spotted at eleven o'clock."

"Lovebirds?" Bumblebee was puzzled.

"Yeah, lovebirds sighted at eleven o'clock on the dining area of the pizzeria where we hang out." Said Speedy, as he sat on Robin's motorcycle parked on the overpass and watched the rooftop with his electronic mini binoculars. Cyborg and Jinx seemed to be oblivious to everything except the pizza between them and their conversation.

"Cyborg and Jinx? This I do not understand?" Starfire asked her friends.

"I do, and it ain't pretty. That girl's gonna hurt him unless we can stop it in time." growled Bumblebee.

"But what about this Gizmo person we are looking for?" Starfire was confused by Bumblebee's sudden reaction to Speedy's report.

"Giz is only a villain, he's not going anywhere but Cy could be making a major mistake if he dates that girl instead of me!"

"But…"

"I'm tellin' you it'll be bad, very bad," the dark girl said grimly, "not only can that she witch's hexes mess up his circuits but she can mess with his head even worse. The poor boob doesn't know enough about girls to keep from being manipulated by her witchiness."

"But are not all male heroes like this?" asked Starfire as they dived down towards the pizzeria.

"No, it just seems like it."

"NOW THAT WE ARE ATTACKING, WHAT EVIL IS JINX COMMITTING AGAINST FRIEND CYBORG?" yelled Starfire over the increased volume of background noise made by the slipstream.

"THE WORST KIND! SHE'S THE WRONG GIRL FOR HIM!"

Starfire hovered in midair as Bumblebee sped by. "Friend Bumblebee, I am most confused could you help me understand why we must do this awful thing?"

Neither Cyborg nor Jinx was blind to the two women overhead and as much as Jinx's fingers itched to cast a hex, she didn't. Cyborg's arm rested lightly on the young woman's arm as he asked, "Relax, we're all friends here. Even if they buzz us, they won't mean anything by it, sit back and enjoy the show this our date."

Both Kim and Shego walked over the ruined doors to face the Teen Titians in the hallway.

"Déjà vu, Kimmy?" asked Shego.

"Don't call me 'Kimmy'." KP snarled back at her green and black dressed foe.

"What do you say; we put our scuffle off 'til after we settle the hash of these yahoos." Shego suggested as a truce between her and the 'princess'.

"Sounds good to me." Kim said grimly. The hallway was just so wide and no more, that meant there was very little maneuvering room. People were going to get hurt, maybe seriously.

The two sides squared off and prepared to fight. Ron remembered what the Sensei had told him and screwed up his courage to squeeze his way past the two women and walked between them and the Teen Titians.

"Ladies, ladies let the Ron-man talk to these fine folks for a few mementos and I hope that we could come up with a less painful solution." Ron said as he took a deep breath and walked towards his perceived enemies.

"Has your sidekick totally lost his marbles or is he trying to switch sides while he has a chance?" Shego whispered.

"No, Ron knows what he's doing." Kim whispered back.

'I hope.' Kim thought to herself.

Ron looked over Robin in his skintight superhero costume with a slightly puzzled expression on his freckled face. "Dude, did we interrupt something or other when we showed up? Because man, it looks like we interrupted a costume party or sleepover or something?"

Robin ground his teeth together and glared at the blond teenager.

Ron ignored Robin's expression and continued. "Look we could fight here and trash the place, with several of you getting hurt, or….."

Raven could sense that Robin's temper frayed what little control he still had. This was almost as bad as Robin's obsession over Slade at its worst. She quickly decided to intervene before things got out of hand.

"Or what?" Raven asked dryly.

"Or we could say that this is all one big misunderstanding, call a truce, and have a 'friendly' match in a gym or something like that." Ron said with his trademark goofy grin as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"I was right. Your sidekick is as goofy as he looks." Shego said.

"Don't be so negative, I think Ron may have just talked them into giving us some maneuvering space and out of this dead end." Kim angrily whispered back.

Raven stared at Ron and the two women behind him, the silence stretched like taffy. Finally Raven said "You're on." in a flat emotionless voice, "At the training grounds outside."

Small dust devils blew across the training grounds fitfully between the two groups of teenagers who faced each other.

Robin stood confidently in the center of his team, with Raven to his right, and Beastboy on his left.

The three others had spaced themselves in line to face the Teen Titians. Kim Possible in the center, with Shego on her left, and Ron Stoppable on the right; Ron spoke in a low voice to Kim. "Sensei said that we need to keep our Ki or emotions at a high level for ten or fifteen minuets."

Kim muttered grimly, "We can try but why?"

"Between Wade and Yamanouchi they need that amount of time for a chance to pull us back." Ron answered.

Kim passed on an abverated form of Ron's message to Shego, and said only that they had to drag out the fight for ten or fifteen minuets for a chance of a lock-on and of their being retrieved.

"Enough already, let's do this!" Shego snarled.

Ron looked the two lines of people as they faced each other with the dusty field between them. Ron felt like this was the western movies that he and Felix used to watch. On impulse, he whistled the theme from the movie The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

This was too much for Shego. "Why is he whistling that? I know that the two of you think I'm the 'Bad' but what does that make you Kimmy? The 'Good' or the 'Ugly'?

"Shego, just concentrate on the fight, can't you say anything without making it an insult?" Kim asked.

"Sorry, just not my nature, you can ask Doctor D. about it when we get back but you'd have to do it before I fry his sorry tuchis for dumping me here." Shego answered.

Beastboy didn't wait for a signal from his teammates, he morphed intro a green rhinoceros and charged Ron.

Ron gaped at the Beastboy's changed form, "That would be sooooo cool if he wasn't trying to hurt me."

"RON RUN!" hollered Kim as she drew her red hairdryer/grapple gun, and fired at a test pylon between Ron and the charging Beastboy. At her end of the field, Kim secured the line to another test pylon and released the cord from her grapple gun.

The blonde teen hero did what Ron does best, he ran as fast as he could to get away from the four legged green tank with a pointy tip.

Robin charged forward with his Bo stick extended before him. Kim ducked under the Bo stick and pivoted on one hand as she attempted to stop Robin with a leg sweep. Robin dropped his Bo stick to leap over Kim's attack in a forward roll, only to be hit by Shego's plasma charged Karate slashes to his ribs.

When Raven saw Shego's charge at Robin, her soul-shadow plucked up and threw a Volkswagen bug sized boulder at Shego.

Shego struck twice more at the surprised Robin, while Kim had to back flip away from some more of Raven's soul-shadow powered rocks and debris that was thrown in her direction.

"Shego! I can take him out by myself! You need to get what's her name who's throwing rocks at us!" Kim dodged to one side to have a minibus sized boulder fly by. 'Really, really BIG rocks.' Kim thought franticly.

"Sorry, no can do, Kimmy! I've got bird boy on the run and I'm going to make sure that he and his gang pay for hunting me."

Kim sighed; there was no reasoning with Shego when she was in a pissed-off mood.

Ron's running would have been the pride of any track and field team; now if he just didn't have this green rhino chasing after him.

Raven threw another boulder but this time at Ron.

Kin saw the missile that Raven tossed at Ron, "RON! DUCK!"

Ron's eyes glowed blue for a moment and before the boulder could hit a large blue shield formed in front of Ron and attached itself to Ron's left arm.

Raven stopped her attacks to stare impassively at the Ron's blue mystic shield.

'So this is what I felt before from his room. It doesn't seem demonic. I wonder who or what gave him this power.' Raven thought. As Raven hovered in midair, Shego saw her chance.

"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" yelled Shego as she threw several of her green plasma bolts at Raven.

Caught by surprise, Raven took several hits and was thrown back against a rocky cliff, where she fell to the ground, for the entire world like a boneless rag doll.

Robin's attacks on Kim were relentless and she slowly gave way before these his attacks, remembering that Ron had told her that they were delaying for time, not to win.

Ron's blue shield became the blue Lotus Blade then a blue armband. He walked over to Beastboy and asked, "Hey man, are you all right?"

Beastboy had morphed back into his human form and had tripped and plowed face first into the gravel that formed the field of the Training Ground.

From her height advantage, Starfire noticed the black energy that was Raven's soul power and bursts of green energy. Starfire knew that the energy wasn't from her so it had to come from the intruders.

Starfire dove down to prevent a battle between her three friends. "FRIEND BUMBLEBEE! FRIEND JINX! FRIEND CYBORG! I need you to listen. There is something happening at the Tower and I think it is trouble for the rest of the Titans. We MUST hurry!"

"I'll ride with Cy in the T-car, Starfire can you give a lift to Jinx back to the Tower?" Bumblebee called.

"That I can do Friend Bumblebee." Starfire called as she swooped down and scooped up Jinx under her arms.

"Hey! Don't I get a say in the matter?" Jinx said outraged at the cavalier manner that the actions had been carried out her legs kicked futilely at the air as she was carried away.

Bumblebee pulled out her T-phone, which wasn't linked to the wrecked Communions Center in the Teen Titans' West Tower and told Speedy to return to the Tower ASAP.

Shego spun about on one heel to attack Robin's back while Kim desperately maintained her defense by switching and combined her sixteen styles of Kung-fu to keep Robin's attacks from landing a serious blow to her.

Ron started to run to Kim's aid when a series of green star bolts struck the ground just in front of him. Ron's broken field running would have done the NFL proud and served to frustrate Starfire to no end.

When Jinx started to throw her Hex Bolts the tide of the fight turned against the three visitors from Kim's universe. Things started to look grim for our heroes (and villainess) when they started to glow blue and slowly vanished from sight of the Teen Titians.

Shego was first to rebound from the Blue Glow, "Alright who did this and who want's to get hurt first?" as she powered up her hands.

Kim was on her feet a fraction of a second later but she stared on open mouthed shock at the large courtyard and obvious Japanese architecture of the central keep.

Ron picked himself up and stared at the shorter, red robed man who stood before him. "O-teaai wa dokosesu ka?"

The old Sensei smiled under his white mustache, The Chosen One had not changed his child-like innocence even as he ran off to look for the promised bathroom.

Kim watched as Ron ran away. "Excuse me, Sensei, where are we?" Kim remembered the Sensei from when she helped Yori rescue him from Gorilla Fist.

"Fear not Possible-san, the three of you raised enough Ki to allow me to guide you back to your own time and place." the old Sensei answered.

Shego, on the other hand was not so patient or polite. As she looked around, she snarled, "Deus ex machina! Alright who wrote this! This has got to be one of the worst plot endings, EVER!

Finis

Shego's Note: Most FanFic writers are masochistic by nature that's a given. They write these stories fun. Can you believe that! Kimmy, Ron, and the other do-gooders are in this for the fame game. I mean even the web site is named after her. A villainess like me wants to be paid in some form of compensation, if not money then reviews on just how nasty I can be. CIAO!
