Kim Possible: Morality's Choice - Chapters 3.6 - 3.8 - Truths & Consequences

The red beam struck Kim and engulfed her whole body. All she could do was scream out in a voice already horse as everything she was began to burn away. Bonnie tossed the helmet aside and ground her heels into Kim's legs, laughing as Kim, bathed in a slowly fading red glow, writhed on the floor.

"Come on Kim, scream. Let me know how much it hurts, tell me how much you hate me, SCREAM FOR ME."

Bonnie lifted one leg off of Kim's legs and raised it high, slamming it down onto Kim's thigh as hard as she could. She took great pleasure in beating down Kim, the real Kim, not some fake goody goody version. She had wanted Kim to be herself, to see that no matter what kind of freak Kim had become she would always be better then Kim.

"Do you remember what you said to me that night at the warehouse? Do you? Because I want them to be the last words you ever hear."

Bonnie leaned down and placed her mouth next to Kim's ear as the last of the red glow faded away.

"I'm going to make you pay for every single thing you've ever done to me and I can promise you, when we are done your going to beg me to kill you."

It happened faster then Bonnie could react, Kim's arm shot up from her body and grabbed Bonnie by the throat. Bonnie, a look of shock crossing her face, sputtered as she tried to pry Kim's hand off. Kim rose up, carefully maintaining the grip she held on Bonnie's throat, and stared angrily out at her hostage. There was to be no grand speeches this time, no great fight between two lifetime rivals as they traded barbs and punches. Kim only spoke one sentence as Bonnie continued to struggle, kicking her legs as hard as she could into Kim's shins, to no avail.

"There's something I've always wanted to say to you Bonnie."

Kim reach out with her other hand and gripped the side of Bonnie's head, sliding her other hand off of Bonnie's throat and up to the other side of her head. With a quick but strong twist Kim snapped Bonnie's neck, a satisfying crunch echoing forth as Bonnie's eyes flared wide then went dim, her body crashing to the floor as Kim let go.

"Drop Dead."

Kim just stared down at Bonnie's body as it laid lifelessly on the gym floor. The woman who had made her life miserable, who had humiliated and beaten her, was no more. Kim pondered the truth of what she had just done as a rope dropped from the ceiling and hit the floor behind her. She turned to the sound in time to see Shego come sliding down the rope, her single gloved hand gripping the rope tight to slow her decent.

Shego landed and stared apprehensively at Kim as she spoke.

"Princess, tell me it's you."

Kim's face flashed a mix of emotions as she surveyed Shego, seemingly unsure of how to take the thief's sudden arrival. When she finally spoke her voice was hollow.

"Was that what it was like for you?"

Shego took a deep breathe, clearly understanding the meaning of the question.

"Yes."

Kim's eyes began to water.

"I'm so sorry. If I had known…"

Shego nodded and hugged Kim as she vented.

"It was like I was a prisoner in my own mind, forced to watch as I laughed and smiled...but it wasn't me...someone else was in control…I tried to scream, but it wouldn't come out…."

"I know princess. That's why I made her bring you back."

Kim squeezed Shego tightly and spoke softly, the last of her tears sliding off her face.

"Thank you."

Shego looked down guiltily.

"Don't thank me until you know the truth Kimmie. That day they used that damn device on you? They caught me to. I turned away from the Global Justice soldiers for just a second, when I heard you scream, and they caught me. Then they came and visited me in prison, told me you had gone back to them, showed me an article to prove it. I was so angry...I thought you had betrayed me...that it had all been some sort of trick to catch me, everything you said you felt...everything you made me feel. When I broke out that night and came to your room...I came to hurt you...maybe to do something even worse…"

Kim looked down as well, guilt over her part in Shego's distress plaguing her. She shook her head, trying to clear away the feeling.

"But you didn't, you saw me and you knew. No one else thought anything was even wrong with me, not my parents, not my friends, no one."

Shego smiled relieved at Kim's reassurance and looked down at Bonnie's body, knowing that they couldn't keep standing around like this.

"We have to go Princess. Global Justice had a large squad of guys following you and it won't be long till one of them comes in to see what you've been doing."

Kim stared down at the body at her feet, surprised at how it's mere sight began to make her angry.

"What about Bonnie?"

Shego just smirked.

"We leave her."

Shego looked down at the reverse polarizer that lay near bye, the device that had both locked away then freed Kim and slammed her foot down on it, smashing it into several pieces.

"Let it serve as their only warning that we're coming."

Kim grinned at the idea, thoughts of her revenge already beginning. Now that she was back Global Justice was going to pay for what they had one to her...with blood. Shego grabbed the rope she had slid down and began climbing, feeling the rope jerk slightly as Kim followed behind her. When Kim finally climbed onto the roof, she turned back around and took one last look down through the skylight, silently staring at Bonnie's body as she pulled up the rope behind her. I'm coming for you next Ron Kim thought as she began walking towards Shego's jet. And this time no one will be able to save you

Kim looked over at Shego as the jet came to rest on a small grass hill. Though she hadn't said it in exact words, Kim knew Shego was happy to have her back. After they had left the gym, Shego had shared with her exactly what happened while Kim had been locked away, how she had kidnapped Electronique, forced her to build another reverse polarizer and then spent days trying to get close enough to Kim to use it. When Shego had revealed how she had goaded and tricked Bonnie into doing what she could not, Kim was hit with the realization of just how much she must have meant to Shego. To risk everything on the small chance Bonnie really was that stupid...Shego must have been desperate to get me back Kim thought. Shego glanced over at Kim and snapped her fingers a few times, brining the teen out of her train of thought.

"Mind on the mission Princess, You got ten minutes. Don't make me have to come rescue your ass again."

Kim smiled, playfully looking offended at the comment and climbed out of the jet. She surveyed the building that lay just beyond the grouping of trees below the hill. Her house stood as it ever did, bathed in the shadows of the tress and brightly lit. She ran silently down the hill and began dodging through the trees as she made her way to her bedroom window. Shego had wanted to go straight home, but Kim had said she had to get something from her room first. It had taken a bit of pleading, but in the end Shego had agreed.

Kim stood at the base of her house and stared up at her window in annoyance. Without the tree to climb she was going to have to get up the hard way. She backed up several feet and ran forward, using her speed and momentum to run up the wall. Just as felt her feet begin to slip she shot out her arms and grabbed the window ledge, pulling herself up.

She slid the window open and slipped inside, her room exactly as it had been hours ago. Kim stood unmoving, the memories contained in the room flooding her mind momentarily. She shook her head clear and reached under her bed, pulling out a white box. It's contents had given her a little hope when she had been trapped and she didn't want to leave it behind. Once she had made sure to take everything the box had once contained she turned back to her window, prepared to leave. It was just as she took her first step toward the window that she heard her mother's laugh float up from beyond her closed door and she paused, a feeling of guilt washing over her. She hadn't really thought of her family while she had been with Shego, she hadn't thought of much but revenge, but now after seeing them again...Kim sighed softly. She knew they wouldn't understand, that they'd say what she was doing was wrong, but she couldn't just leave them again without saying goodbye.

She walked over to her desk and wrote a small note, placing it on her bed. As she climbed back out her window, box in hand, she made sure to make enough noise that she knew her parents would here. Kim landed with a grunt and took one last long look at her former house as she walked back into the shadows.

Anne Possible knocked softly and opened the door to her daughter's room, walking in.

"Kimmie? Are you back?"

Anne looked around the room for signs of Kim's presence but found none. Just as she turned to leave she spied a piece of paper sitting on Kim's bed addressed to "Mom & Dad". She reached over, picked it up and read the short message inscribed on it.

"Mom & Dad - I'm leaving again, but I want you to know the truth. Shego never kidnapped me, I chose to go with her and I'm choosing it again. That happy girl that came back wasn't me, it's what they made me. I'll always love you, but I made a hard choice and I won't back down from it.

Kim"

Anne ran to the window and searched with worried eyes, desperately hoping for some sign of her daughter, but all she saw were shadows stretching into the night. As she walked out of the room, her eyes beginning to water, her only thought was to her daughter, pleading for her to return.

:The next morning, Global Justice:

Betty tried to remain composed as Ron Stoppable walked into her office and sat down. She had received the report late last night, that Bonnie's body had been found inside her high school gym, her neck broken and the smashed remains of a reverse polarizer beside it. Betty's failed attempts to reach Kim Possible, whose mother had told Betty of a found note, only confirmed her suspicions and her worst fear. She took a deep breathe and spoke as Ron Stoppable sat down.

"Mr. Stoppable, I wish I had some other way to tell you this, hell I wish to god I didn't have to tell you this…"

Ron looked quizzically at Betty.

"Am I being fired?"

"Miss Rockwaller is dead. Her body was found last night in your school gym, her neck broken."

Ron's mouth went slack and the color began to drain from his face.

"The remnants of a reverse polarizer were found beside her body and Miss Possible has gone missing. That means.…"

Betty hung her head, unwilling or unable to look at Ron as she spoke.

"It means it was Miss Possible. Shego must have forced Electronique to build her her own reverse polarizer and she somehow got close enough to Kim to use it. I'm...I'm sorry…"

Ron didn't speak, he didn't blink, he just sat unmoving.

"I notified her family and we are giving her a full burial in a private cemetery."

Betty reached under her desk and placed the single working reverse polarizer on top of her desk.

"I promise you Mr. Stoppable...Ron...we will catch Miss Possible and I will personally make sure she feels every once of guilt and horror that she deserves."

Ron finally spoke, in a soft dead tone.

"...No."

Betty blinked in surprise.

"What?"

Ron stood up and grabbed the reverse polarizer, surprising Betty with his quick movement.

"This thing isn't the answer, why can't you see that? This thing that you built, this damn thing got Bonnie killed and you want to use it again?"

Ron's face grew angry and he threw the helmet to the ground, crashing his foot into it again and again until it was just a broken mess.

"It didn't bring back Kim, it turned her into a happy mindless zombie. You keep trying to make things like they were, but they aren't. Bonnie died because you said Kim was to valuable to spend time in jail. Well was it worth it? Was getting Kim back worth losing Bonnie?"

Ron stormed towards the door, only speaking once as he left, his tone returned to it's soft dead nature.

"Tell me everything we do is right now."

Betty sat stunned, at a loss on how to react. Part of her felt far beyond guilty, knowing that what he had said was true, she had traded Bonnie's life for Kim's blind obedience. Part of her felt angry at that truth, angry at the loss of what could have been the greatest weapon for good they had ever had, angry that he had spoken to her in such a manner. As she tried to set her mind straight the speaker box on her desk buzzed. Betty touched a button on the unit and spoke.

"What is it?"

"Miss Director, you'd better turn on a TV."

"What channel?"

The voice hesitated notably before it replied.

"All of them."

:Hours Earlier, Shego's Lair:

Shego slid her glove back onto her hand and turned to face Kim.

"Glad you know you kept it safe like I said."

Kim smiled at Shego, the teddy bear that had been holding the glove hanging in one hand.

"It meant a lot to me that you sent it. It let me know you were out there and I didn't feel so trapped."

Shego nodded.

"Enough mushy stuff Princess, we need to talk about what we're going to do now. The doofus is still walking around and since Global Justice still has their reverse polarizer it's risky to try and attack him or them."

Kim frowned. She had been hoping to spend some personal time with Shego before they went back to business, but it looked like Shego had other ideas.

"I know…"

Kim closed her eyes in deep thought. Shego didn't speak as she watched Kim, smiling softly as she watched her concentrate. She had thought a lot about her feelings for Kim while the red head had been gone and while she didn't understand them fully yet she knew she liked her life better when Kim was in it. As if on cue to prove the though Kim suddenly smiled and spoke.

"I know exactly how to make it so they can't ever use that damn thing against us again."

Shego looked impressed.

"Oh really? Care to share Princess?"

Kim just smiled playfully.

"We going to expand the playing field."

Kim began walking towards the room's far door.

"Were going on a trip Shego and I'll tell you everything while your flying us, but first you need to change into something more…business like."

Shego arched an eyebrow.

"This better be good plan pumpkin."

:Studio 9:

The producer grinned widely as Kim Possible smiled and explained what she wanted.

"Of course we can do that Miss Possible. After what you did to fix out broadcast tower it's the least we can do."

Kim shrugged in false modesty.

"No big. It's just need a few emergency welds, and that lightning storm wasn't really that bad. Are you sure you can do a world wide broadcast on every channel?"

The producer waved his hands wide.

"We'll have your face on more TVs then Camille Leon's last mug shot. All you need to do is sit at that desk over there and we'll take care of the rest. Will your assistant need to be with you?"

The producer nodded towards Shego, who had dressed herself in a tight but casual business suit, placed her hair in a bun and now wore a thick pair of glasses.

"Oh no, she's just here to make sure everything run's smoothly. Isn't that right Sharon."

Shego smirked.

"Oh I'll make sure everything run smoothly all right."

Shego turned to the various employee's who stood around staring in awe at the arrived teen hero.

"What the hell are you losers standing around for? You got jobs to do, so go do them. NOW."

The employees jumped and began scurrying around, they had long ago been conditioned to act when someone started barking orders. Shego just smiled satisfied. Kim laughed softly and walked over to the desk as the Producer walked to his chair behind the camera.

Moments later the producer raised his hand and pointed at Kim, signaling her to speak.

"Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, I am sure many of you know me but for those of you who don't my name is Kim Possible. Recently many of you may have seen a story about me being kidnapped by a super villain only to be rescued by Global Justice.

Kim paused momentarily and took a breathe, smiling all the while.

"I'm here tonight to tell you that the story is a lie put forth by Global Justice to cover up what they did. The truth is.…"

Betty sat rigidly as the image and voice of Kim Possible played out on her TV. As she spoke she told of how she had been pursuing two criminals for many months. She revealed that she had incapacitated one and was about to do the same to the other when Global Justice had stepped in. She painted them as a group who had long held a grudge against her, who had so hated her methods and her actions that when she had refused their threats to do things their way they had, without hesitation, used a mind control device to bring her under their control. A device that had left her nothing more then a happy mindless zombie, unable to feel, unable to think, unable to be Kim Possible.

Betty gritted her teeth in anger as Kim continued her story, the pure audacity the once teen hero showed in crafting her story, carefully leaving out the presence of Shego or the acts of violence and near homicide she had done, striking right to Betty's core. As Kim drew her story to a close and thanked the world for listening to the truth, Betty slammed the button on her desk speaker box and spoke.

"Tell me you have a lock on where Miss Possible is broadcasting from."

"We do ma'am, but.…"

Suddenly every light in the building turned off and Betty found herself sitting in dark. She quickly grabbed the communication device on her belt and yelled into it.

"What the fuck happened?"

A nervous voice replied.

"The entire base was just hit with a massive power surge that fried both the main and backup generators ma'am. We are doing our best to reactivate then and locate the sou…"

Suddenly the device went dead. Betty screamed loudly in frustration, staring upwards as she spoke.

"What the hell is going on?"

As if in answer to the unheard question, a single accented voice filled the base, emitting from every communication device at once.

"Global Justice. You pitiful little men with your reliance on your little toys, what will you do when you can't turn them on? You thought you could use me like a tool and then throw back into prison to rot? I'm going to show you what happens when you cross me. Prepare to face the fury of Electronique."

Betty cursed loudly, unwilling to believe that so many fucking things could be going so bad all at once. She grabbed the cache of weapons she kept under her desk and silently cursed Ron Stoppable for having destroyed their reverse polarizer as she walked out her door.

:Studio 9:

Kim smirked softly as the producer gave the cut sign. Global Justice wouldn't be able to take a step out there door now without the whole world watching them, there was no chance they could ever use that reverse polarizer again. The producer walked up to Kim as she walked away from the desk, an incredulous look on his face.

"What a story. I can see it now, we can do a full expose, "Bullied By Big Brother: The harrowing tale of Kim Possible." The ratings will be huge."

Kim gritted her teeth and smiled, already becoming sick of the producer's slick attitude.

"I'll think about, but if you'll excuse me, I've got to get going, isn't that right Sharon?"

Shego grinned mischievously and flipped through a small scheduling book.

"Indeed. Miss Possible has a meeting between two very important sheets to attend in twenty minutes."

Kim laughed inwardly as she picked up on the meaning of Shego's statement, while the producer looked confused for a moment, sure he had misheard one of the words in the statement. Kim and Shego walked away, leaving the producer to stand there puzzled, and out the studio building. They had made it half way to the jet when a voice called out from behind them

"Kim!"

Ron's tone belied a controlled anger that he knew he didn't posses and was hardly surprised when Kim turned instantly and struck a fighting stance.

"Ron. What are you doing here? Not that I'm not grateful, it saves me the trouble of having to track you done."

"I saw you on TV and had Wade trace the signal."

Kim did not wait for any further comments as she dashed forward, her face going hard. She slammed her hand forward as she came within arms reach, attempting to shove him off balance but he flipped away, returning the distance between them.

"No Kim, not this time. I can't beat you and we both know that. I tried fighting you, you beat me. I tried pleading with you, you ignored me. I even…"

Ron bent backwards, ducking a punch Kim threw as she bounded back beside him, not willing to stand around while he talked.

"...tried accepting what Global Justice did, but all that did was cost Bonnie her life."

Ron's voice wavered as he mentioned Bonnie.

"I...I can't forgive you for what you did to her...but I destroyed the reverse polarizer. It wasn't the answer...it didn't make you realize what you've become...I was wrong to go along with it. The truth is I was wrong about a lot of things. You are Kim...I don't know why what I did made you become this...I don't know if Shego even had anything to do with it…"

Kim looked back towards Shego at the mention of her partner's name. The thief waved her arm as if to say I'm here if you need me. Kim swept her arm high, hoping to strike Ron's right side but he pivoted at the last moment and kept talking.

"…but I know I can't fight you anymore. Your not a battle I can win Kim…"

Kim maintained a disinterested look as Ron spoke, dropping low and sweeping her legs in a wide arc. She smirked as he leapt up and quickly rose, latching both her hands onto his head as he landed. Before he could react she began to squeeze his head.

"Then your going to make this very very easy. Any last words?"

Ron's voice came in a strained raspy reply, his eyes looking past Kim.

"…So I'm letting someone else try."

A second voice spoke from behind Kim, it's words sharp and harsh.

"Kim!"

Kim turned towards the voice, keeping her grip on Ron's head. Her eye's went wide at it's source. Anne Possible stood looking worriedly at her daughter.

"Kim please stop. Ronald told me everything, you need help."

Kim's face went blank, her mind unsure of what to do with the new situation. Anne continued as Kim stood shocked.

"I know what Ronald did was horrible and what Global Justice did was unforgivable…I can't imagine how much it must have hurt to be trapped like that, but this isn't the answer you have to know that."

Anne looked down and closed her eyes, trying to force back her rising tears.

"Please Kim. I know my little girl is in there somewhere. We didn't raise you to be like this. Everyone is worried about you, please come back home and let us help, we'll find a way to make it better I promise."

Kim looked back at Shego, the woman who had once been her enemy but now fought with her, who she knew loved her, and stared at her pleadingly, silently begging Shego to tell her what to do. Shego turned away, hiding her face from Kim's eyes.

Kim looked down sadly, her voice wavering with emotion as she spoke.

"I'm sorry…"

Kim twisted Ron's head sharply, feeling the bone's in his neck break, and let go, letting his body fall to her feet. She turned, not daring to look at her mom, and ran past Shego to the jet, a stream of tears trailing her. Shego followed quickly and neither woman spoke as the jet lifted into the sky and shot off into the distance.

Anne Possible just stood and cried silently to herself.

:That night, Global Justice:

Electronique cursed and ranted as the two Global Justice agents tossed her into the back of the waiting police van. Betty stood and watched it drive off, her left arm wrapped in a bandage from the severe burn Electronique's close range shock had given it. She rubbed the bandage absentmindedly and sighed, knowing that by now Kim Possible was long gone. The fallout from Kim's speech had all ready begun and despite their official claim of "No Comment at this time." Betty knew that she would have to go before the world in the morning and answer for everything Kim had said. Betty walked into her office and sat down at her desk, not at all looking forward to the long night of speechwriting she had ahead of her.

She had resigned herself to beginning when the TV that sat on the far side of her room lit up.

Betty looked up in mild surprise and spoke in a demanding tone to the two faces that stared at her.

"Who the hell are you?"

Jim and Tim smiled, psyched that their long range signal broadcaster had worked, enabling them to speak and hear through any device that could send or receive a signal of any kind..

"Were Kim's brothers."

"Our mom told us everything, we want to help."

Betty stared hard at the boys. She could feel a headache coming on at the mere sight of these boys, but she did her best to remain level.

"I see."

She reached into her desk and pulled out a single manila folder. She began flipping pages until she found what she was looking for.

"Your names are Jim and Tim. According to this file your both quite young and wildly destructive. Now, does this seem like the type of organization that has a habit of recruiting children, even if they are supposedly geniuses."

Jim and Tim appeared insulted.

"You look like the kind of organization that is getting it's butt kicked by our sister."

"Yah, your going to need our help if you want to stop her."

Betty narrowed her eye.

"That's a very presumptuous thing to say. How do I know you'll do any better then we have?"

Tim answered forcefully.

"No one knows our sister better then us. Besides, it's not like we could do any worse then you've already done."

Betty had to admit they had a point, but she didn't wish to concede to mere children.

"If you know everything your sister has done then you know catching her and Shego is going to be a near impossibility after the speech she gave today."

Jim and Tim just smirked confidently.

"Anything is possible"

"For a possible."
