Chapter 7

Together at Last

Kim drove down Main Street in Go City, making her way towards Go Tower, keeping her eye out for any sign of Global Justice. But there was no obivous sign of them. She assumed there were undercover agents around, but no one reacted to her presence.

Any other day, Kim would've enjoyed the drive through the city, if it hadn't been for the fact that she was on the run from the law.

A bit later and she was down at the pier, looking out across the water to Go Tower. Considering that she was on the run, she only gave herself a moment to enjoy the sight before she started her car and dove into the water.

During the submerged drive, however, Kim looked out the window and spotted something in the water. She thought nothing of it until a look at the side revealed it to be a GJ craft. Kim panicked and hit the accelerator, though the craft did nothing but sit there.

It was another few minutes before the Roth SL Coupe drove up onto the rocks around GO Tower. When Kim got out, she let herself breathe a sigh of relief. As she was stretching her legs, taking a moment to relax, she spotted a small device on the back. She bent over and looked close, immediatly realizing what it was and sneered

"Well played" she said. She figured that she shouldn't touch it, as it might be rigged. Instead she decided to continue what she was doing and walked over to the door and rung the doorbell.

Hego's face appeared on the small screen

"KIM POSSIBLE! Hello and welcome to the Go..."

"Can you let me in?" She really didn't want to deal with Hego or his personality right now.

"What can I do for you?" he asked as she entered the main control room

"You could tell me where the Wegos are" she said, getting straight to the point

"I don't know" they should be back soon though"

"How soon?"

"I dunno. But that doesn't matter, you're here and we can go fight some evil together!" he said, Kim raised an eyebrow

"Uh, no!" Kim said outright. Before Hego could respond, the other members of Team Go walked in the room. Kim brightened up when she saw the Wegos. She rushed over and grabbed them

"You have a message for me?" she asked

"We do?" they responded, confused

"From Shego?"

"Oh right"

"What? You've been talking with our sister and said nothing?" Hego exclaimed

"She was threatening us. We had no choice" they said and Wego 1 reached into his jumpsuit pocket and pulled out a letter addressed to Kim. She read it silently.

Hello Princess.

I hope that you can forgive me for all the coak and dagger, but I'm not taking any chances. Global Justice really wants me, but I know you want me more *wink wink*.

If you are reading this, it means that you've made your decision and are coming for me. I welcome this, but please don't bring anyone else. I see anyone else, I'll run. That isn't meant as a threat, Kimmie, just a warning.

If you wish to proceed, I'm relaxing on the island where we spent time together. I couldn't think of any other secure location.

Hope to see you soon.

Shego

Kim held the letter close to her chest and then realized that she was still being watched. Blushing, she ran outside and put the letter in her pocket.

Her car could make it too that island quickly, but with the GJ tracking device, they would be on top of her in an instant, she needed another way, then an idea hit her. It was a risky one, but could pay off.

She fired up her car engine, turned around and dove back into the water. From the angle she was looking at now, she could tell that the GJ sub she had passed was docked, not following her. A stroke of luck at last.

She pulled up to the dock after driving out of the water and was greeted by a GJ solider

"Good afternoon, Miss Possible"

"Hello"

"You are aware that this is a secure area?"

"Yes. I was in the area and spoke to Dr. Director, she said that I could enter and take a tour of the base and not to disturb her anymore today" The guard looked suspicious and puzzled, but not realizing that Kim had switched sides and was lying, opened the gate and signaled to the craft pilot, who was supervising the loading of supplies

"Ah, Miss Possible" he reached out his hand, Kim smiled and took it. He had a firm handshake "I'm sorry, I didn't know that you'd be coming by"

"I was in the area" Kim shrugged "How about a tour?"

"Only for you. We wouldn't trust any other civilains in this baby. It's top of the line, brand new" he said proudly

"I heard that all Global Justice vehicles come with a tracking system. Is that true?"

"What, are you doing an interview?" he asked

"Well, if you must know..." she leaned in closer and wispered in his ear "Dr. Director asked me to do a civilian review of this base and a full review of the vehicle. Best humor me" she smiled. The man understood

"Well, uh, yes. All Global Justice vehicles are equiped with a state-of-the-art tracking system. It allows the techs at HQ to track the movments of all our agents"

"May I see it?" she asked. The man thought for a moment, then smiled

"Of course. This way" he led her inside.

The craft was not small, nor was it overly big. It was only big enough to transport a half dozen GJ agents and small cargo containers. In the main engine room, the pilot showed Kim the tracking device. Kim made sure to note where it was

"Backups for this system?" she asked, making sure that she covered everything

"Leave us please" he instructed the guard. The man hesitated "Leave us" he said again

"I'm not sure that is wise, sir"

"Do you not know who this is? This is Kim Possible. If anyone is trustworthy, it is her. Now leave us" he repeated. The solider saluted and left. The pilot turned back to Kim. "Backups? Actually, yes, we do" he knelt down on the ground and opened a small, hidden panel "This is the backup tracking system" he said "It activates in the event of an emergency or if the primary becon is damaged or destroyed" he said and closed the panel. Kim made sure she committed everything to memory.

"Can I view the cockpit?" she asked. The man laughed.

"Ain't a Navy person, are ya, Miss Possible? It's called a bridge" he said, Kim forced a chuckle. "It's this way" he led her out.

"Here we are" he said. Kim grinned

"How does one drive this thing?"

"Well, with recent breakthroughs in AI navigation technology, we can enter coordinates into the panel here" he pointed to a small keypad on the wall, below a screen "And the computer will take us there" he turned to the front control panel "Course, that's no fun. Any real navy person drives her with their own skills"

"How?"

"This level to control main speed. The rest each have their own controls, but depth and manuvering are controlled through the wheel" he pointed to the steering wheel "It's just like on a car really. You can drive one of those, you can drive this thing" he said. Kim stood up

"Good to know" she suprised the man with a twist kick, knocking him to the deck and unconcious.

She ran towards the main hatch, but ran into the guard

"Miss Possible, how goes the tour? Where is the pilot?" he asked. Kim wasted no time in delivering several punches that knocked him down.

When she got outside, she walked over to her car and grabbed her bags

"What are you doing?" A guard asked her

"Oh, I'm headed overseas. The pilot offered to give me a lift" she lied

"But we aren't headed oveseas. We're headed down to Miami" he said

"Oh, I... Uh" she didn't know what to say, so she put down her bags and kicked the man right in the gut, sending him flying back, unconcious.

"GET HER!" the other guards yelled and opened fire. Kim jumped around, dodging all the bullets and taking out the guards one by one until they were all defeated.

Kim picked up her bags and headed for the sub. When all her gear and as much stuff as she could pull out from her car were all stowed safely, she went below and tore out both the main beacon and the backup. Making it so that she couldn't be tracked. When that was completed, she dragged all the crew on to the dock.

Once that was done, she walked outside to her car. Standing in front of it, This is the last piece of who I was. Time to sweep away the past she thought to herself. Starting the car, she turned it around until it was facing a large concrete building. Shedding a tear, she hit the button that activated the rocket boosters and jumped out as it took off.

When she looked up, she didn't see her car, all she saw was a flaming pile of wreckage where she had aimed it.

"Track that" she muttered and raced for the sub.

In Dr. Director's aircraft, she was watching the tracking readout of where Kim's car was. She looked closer, wishing that the teen would make a move. Suddenly the blip dissappeared

"What the...?" she glared at the screen. When nothing came up, she turned to the pilot "Set a course for the becon's last known location!"

"Yes, Ma'am" the man said and took the controls.

About ten minutes later, she was standing in front of the wreckage that had been Kim's car. Her head fallen. GJ special agents were going over the wreck

"Doctor!" one agent called her over. She walked over slowly

"She was so young. So much potential. One wrong mistake and she ends up like this. I only wanted to help her. Why did she have to go?" she asked the man as if he knew the answer

"I don't know, but we didn't find a body"

"WHAT?"

"All we did find was this shirt" he held up a burnt shirt, it was a black crop-top, or it was. Dr. Director's eye narrowed

"Well played Kimberly. Well played indeed" she said to herself. Another agent rushed over to her

"DOCTOR!"

"What is it?"

"We have the crew of the new sub, they were unconcious on the pier" her eye opened and she pointed towards the pier. The man ran off, Betty close behind

"She came here saying that you had asked her to do a civilian review of both the base and the new vehicle" he said as he was sitting down

"It's okay. No way you could've known. What happened?"

"She asked to see the tracking system, then the backup system. I showed her how to drive the vehicle afterwards"

"My my. She is good"

"Dr. Director!" yet another agent called

"Yes?" the man held out two devices

"THOSE ARE THE TRACKING SYSTEMS!" the pilot exclaimed

"Yes, they are" she said calmly. "Your move Kimberly"

Kim lay back in her chair. According to the computer, only another half hour till the island

"I still can't believe how easy that was" she grinned. She figured that using the computer to drive meant that GJ could track her. So, as planned, she switched off the main computer when she hit the half hour mark and drove it manually. It wasn't as smooth a ride, but she hoped it would be untraceable.

Shego was reclining in her beach chair, soaking up the sun rays

"This is nice. I wish I'd found this island years ago" she said to herself. Behind her came a brushing noise that signalled someone was moving through the bush

"WHO'S THERE? I'M ARMED" she snarled. Kim emerged a few seconds later, smiling

"It's just me" she said, Shego got up as quickly as she could

"KIMMIE! YOU CAME!" she said and raced towards the fallen hero

"Yeah. You think I'd leave you?" Kim asked

"I just figured that you might not show" Shego said and she embraced her

"Well, it wasn't easy getting here. I'll tell you that" Kim said

"Tell me what happened" it was then that Shego noticed the burn marks on Kim's face and all the dust in her hair

"Not here. I stole a GJ sub. We can talk inside" Kim took Shego's hand and pulled her in the direction of the sub.

"And that's how my day has been" Kim finished

"Well, Kimmie, you've really switched sides, huh? I guess after all that, you must've" Shego smiled "And all to see me. I'm flattered" she smiled "And this thing is pretty impressive too" she added

"You think that we could move in together?" Kim asked, blushing slightly

"Kimmie! Why didn't you ask sooner?" Kim smiled "I just have to get some stuff from Drakken's place and we're set"

"But I don't have anywhere else to go" Kim stated

"I can fix that. I have an idea in that regard. It's in the stuff I want to pick up at Dr. D's" Shego winked

"Alright then" Kim smiled and sat down in the pilot's chair "Setting a course for Drakken's island"
