Kim Possible: Morality's Choice - Chapter 2.1 & 2.2 - Heroes & Villains

The hunt for Kim Possible had begun. In truth it had began six months ago yet despite the resources of a global task force and an ongoing world wide search no trace of Kim Possible had been found. As unlikely as it seemed, it appeared that the former teen hero had not set one foot into the outside world in the six months. Equally odd, and somehow tied into the Kim Possible matter Betty thought, was the fact that there had equally been no traces of the green thief Shego, who normally made herself known the same night she would break out of prison. It was as if both had seemingly vanished from the planet.

As Betty sat in the conference room and stared at the assembled Kim Possible task force she vowed that such failure would not continue even if they had to knock down every door in the world to find Kim Possible. She addressed the task force with a cold tone, one that she had using with increasing frequency as more and more days passed without a sighting.

Betty: Six Months! Six Months we've been searching for Kim Possible and we've found nothing. Would anyone care to explain how Global Justice, the most impressive and capable law enforcement agency on the planet, cannot find one teen hero?

One of the scientist she had assigned to the task force spoke up.

"Ve've been pouring over the constant stream of data that ve receive from the various security centers and agencies around the vorld but Miss Possible simply hasn't been seen. Perhaps this means she has had some sort of change of heart and is simply to horrified at what she has done to return?"

Bonnie slammed her fist down on the table creating a large boom that echoed throughout the conference room.

"Hell No! You all know what she tried to do to me and Ron, you know she damn well isn't just going to start feeling bad. She's hiding because she knows I'm coming after her..."

Betty stood stoically as Bonnie launched into another one of her rants against Kim Possible. Six months of dealing with Miss Rockwaller had taught Betty a lot about the girl. She had shown she could be a force of nature when she wanted, all fury and rage and yet it always seemed tempered by consistent grace. Bonnie had taken quite well to her training, far better then Betty had expected, and in just 3 months she had easily matched Betty's own top agents in all agility and speed trials. Likewise the girl's fighting ability had proven to exceed all expectations. She didn't know what kind of training Bonnie had had, but she had shown herself to be an impressive straight brawler who wouldn't hesitate, and quite frequently like to, fight dirty. She has placed her first instructor on medical leave after he had been foolish enough to turn his back on her during a supposedly routine sparring match. Whatever it was that was driving the girl, and Betty suspected it was something that ran deeper then mere teenage animosity, it made Bonnie a true force to be reckoned with and exactly what was needed to match Kim Possible.

All that did not mean she was any less of a pain to be around however. Her self serving, world deserving attitude had quickly earned her a harsh reputation even among her own task force members.

The only individual who seemed to be willing to put up with her even at her worst was Ron Stoppable, a fact that did not escape Betty's notice. He had proven himself a great surprise as well, quite different from the last time they had met. His development had come as such an unheard of rate that she often wondered if there wasn't more to him then he let on.

She had heard the rumors of course, secret mystical monkey powers, an odd ability to attract bad luck that somehow managed to work in his favor yet even during the Ron Factor project long ago he had never shown the kind capabilities he had shown in just the past sixth months. He and that naked mole rat of his had shown a penchant for stealth and acrobatics that frankly amazed her, not only because of how unusually good they were, but because of how different he seemed when he was at ease. It was as if he were two different people sharing one body.

Outside of the training courses he was goofy and klutzy, constantly causing inadvertent disasters or finding some new way to make a fool of himself yet that all changed when he entered a training session or simulated mission. He suddenly became one of the most agile and quick reacting men Betty had ever seen. Gone was frequent habit of tripping over his own legs or stumbling haphazardly around, instead he would suddenly scale whole buildings in half the time it took most of her men or cross obstacle courses as if he had run them his whole life. Even his combat instructor had been taken aback by the change, constantly presenting reports in an unbelieving tone about that day's session where Ron would show moves or abilities that were usually only seen in masters.

Betty brought herself forcefully out of her mental reflections and focused her eye on Bonnie.

"Enough Miss Rockwaller. I did not call this meeting so that you would have an audience for your rants against Kim Possible. We are here to discuss the current situation and what is going to be done to rectify it. You are all well aware that Miss Possible has somehow managed to..."

It was at that moment that the meeting room became bathed in red light as a klaxon sounded and a uniformed guard walked in.

"Miss Director, we've had a sighting. A security firm based in Italy has sent us footage from a warehouse camera that appears to have caught a fleeting image of Kim Possible chasing a masked individual across a rooftop."

Betty turned and faced the guard.

"How long ago was the image captured?"

"According to the security firm the time stamp of the data was roughly one hour ago."

Betty frowned slightly. One hour meant that it was unlikely that Kim Possible would still be there, but at the moment it was their best lead and she was not about to let it go unchecked. She turned back to the assembled task force.

"Move out! Mister Stoppable, Miss Rockwaller you know your orders. I will remind you Miss Rockwaller, this is a capture mission only. You are to bring her in, and not in the condition you left your last sparing partner in. Do I make myself clear?"

Bonnie just scowled and nodded as she walked towards the door. If Betty Director thought she was going to bring Kim in without giving her some serious payback then that cyclops obviously didn't know her very well. Besides, she thought as she walked through the doorway towards the hanger, accidents happen. It's not her fault if Kim should happen to fall on her fists over and over again.

Ron swallowed hard and followed silently behind Bonnie. This was it, their first meeting with Kim since everything that had happened six months ago. This was his chance, if he could just get her to listen for even a few minutes maybe he could save her from what she had become. As he passed Betty Director she stopped him with a firm grip to his shoulder.

"Do not let your feelings get the better of your Mr. Stoppable. If it doesn't work you will need to take her down. If you hesitate at all she may get away and I assure you that if that happens I will be holding you personally responsible."

Ron turned his face away from her, not wanting her to see the reluctance in his eyes, and nodded before quickly walking out of the room.

Betty watched the task force file out without anymore words and as the last member left the room she took a deep breathe. Six months without a single sighting and now Kim Possible just happens to be caught on a warehouse camera in Italy of all places? It didn't sit right with her. Either Miss Possible had gotten unusually sloppy all of the sudden or she wanted to be found. Betty hoped for the former but knew that the latter was the more likely answer. No matter what the answer was though, Betty had no doubt that this was going to end with Kim Possible being brought in. She smiled slightly as she thought of everything that Ron Stoppable and Bonnie Rockwaller had undergone in a mere six months. Kim Possible didn't stand a chance.

Though they had set off immediately it still took the task force another hour to reach the supposed warehouse that the footage had come from. By all estimates Kim Possible now had a two hour lead on them yet they were going to treat the situation as if she was still present and proceed from there.

Per the plan when they touched down Ron and Bonnie would be first to locate and engage Kim Possible. Each had been trained specifically for that task and in the incredibly unlikely event that they were still unable to subdue the former hero they would signal for the rest of the task force who would then swarm the area. It was hoped that by that time Kim Possible would be worn out and their pure numerical superiority would provide them victory. It was not the most cunning or complicated of plans but as Ron and Bonnie crept silently along the hallway of the warehouse, careful to not make any sound as they inched their way towards the roof door, they both knew it was the quickest way to victory.

The roof door was opened with as little sound as could be done and Ron took the lead position as he slipped quietly out into the night air. Though his body was silent as he scouted the expanse of the roof, his mind was hardly such. He knew this was his only chance to explain everything and yet he had no idea what he would say to Kim if and when he found her. How could he make her understand how sorry he was about what had happened? How could explain why he had never told her? Worse, how could he tell her about that feelings that had continued to develop between himself and Bonnie over the past six months? His mind flashed back to their last warehouse meeting, to the things that had been said that...he didn't regret, but had been said in tones he knew had only made the situation worse. He knew he had changed since then, that he wasn't the same man that had stood across from Kim six months ago, but right at that moment he felt as nervous and useless as he had ever been.

- - - - -

Bonnie watched from the doorway and waited for Ron's signal. She knew Ron was nervous, he wasn't able to hide much from her anymore, but in truth she couldn't fathom why he was. In her eyes Kim was nothing more then scum, someone who had tried to kill her and Ron, who had viciously beaten and tortured them and enjoyed every moment of it. She rubbed her arms subconsciously, the memory of her body being subjected to what Kim had done playing fresh in her mind. She hadn't told Ron, she saw no reason to yet, but that night had left her with permanent muscle damage. It was not severe but it was enough that she had found herself unable to perform basic cheer routines that had once been second nature to her. In her mind prison was to good for Kim and it was only the thought of her rotting in a jail cell while some dyke did unspeakable things to her for the rest of her life that made Bonnie feel even a little better about the idea.

Ron reached the roof's edge and began scanned the nearby rooftops. Though this was the roof Kim had been spotted on Ron knew he had to search any near bye places she could have reached as well. It had been said of him, by quite a few people, that he had the almost supernatural ability to attract horrible luck. Those people would certainly have counted this instance as a perfect example as Ron spotted Kim pacing back and forth on a rooftop only one building over. Perplexedly she appeared to talking to herself. He briefly wondered if Shego was hiding somewhere near bye, but since he could see no trace of the green thief he decided to act on what he could see and signaled quickly to Bonnie who made her way to Ron's side and looked towards the roof Ron indicated.

Her eyes went wide despite herself. It was Kim, finally. She was going to make that bitch pay in blood for what she did, to hell with Betty's orders.

Ron and Bonnie both quietly positioned themselves onto the roof's edge and crouched before leaping forward to the adjoining roof. They did not bother to silence their landing, they both knew Kim would know they were there even if they did. Kim spun around and faced the noise that suddenly appeared behind her, her face a mix of anger and surprise at the source.

"Ron? Bonnie?"

Kim struck faster then Ron or Bonnie had expected, her surprise at their appearance apparently not enough to slow down her reaction to it. Before the pair could even fully straighten up from their landing she dashed forward and threw a punch that missed Bonnie's face by mere inches as Bonnie reflexively leapt backwards. Ron was not so lucky as Kim carried her momentum into a low kick that knocked Ron backwards onto his ass.

Ron flipped back onto his feet quickly and raised both of his hands trying to get her to stop.

"Kim wait! We just want to talk."

Kim just smirked and punched her right arm forward, on direct impact with Ron's face. Her punch never even got close as Bonnie charged forward from behind Ron and slammed her full weight into Kim, shoulder first. As Kim stumbled backwards, caught off balance by the sudden slam, Bonnie turned instantly on her right leg and slammed her left foot into Kim's midsection as hard as she could.

It was enough to knock the already unbalanced Kim onto her back and send her sliding roughly backwards across the roof. Bonnie smiled at the effectiveness of her strike, but her smile instantly vanished as Kim rolled sideways out of her rough slide and used the momentum to rise back onto her feet, staring at Bonnie with a cold grin and gleeful eyes.

"More."

Bonnie and Ron had little time to consider the implication of that single word and the look that accompanied it as Kim leapt forward at them, her leg outstretched into a flying kick. As Bonnie and Ron each pivoted sideways, allowing Kim to pass between them, Kim smirked as if she had wanted them to do exactly that and suddenly dropped from her flying kick into a hand stand and spun, her legs slamming equally into both Ron and Bonnie. Both were knocked back hard as Kim flipped back onto her feet and charged immediately towards Bonnie. As Bonnie braced herself she stole a quick glance towards Ron and they shared one unspoken thought between themselves. This was not the Kim they had once known.

Author's End Notes: Chapter 2 is not going to be as long as Chapter 1 was, but even though this particular set of sections wasn't very long do go assuming Chapter 2 is going to be by any means short. I am trying to break it up in such a manner that you get some good cliffhangers out of it so sometimes I have to break it off early. Please continue leaving reviews, they let me know that people are actually reading and enjoying the story which is what keeps me posting.
