"I can't believe you're going without me!"
Kim rolled her eyes. "Ron, for the last time. You've got exams to study for, and you need to figure out where you are with your Monkey Powers since the Lotus Blade was broken. I need to find Team Go's dad so he can find a way to bring Hego, and hopefully Shego back."
"I know that, Kim. But..." Ron's lip quivered as he wrung his hands. "What if the Seniors find you alone out there? What if Shego's dad isn't even there?"
"Wade went through Team Go's archives and found his notes. He's positive. Not to mention that Wade has a bit better equipment than was available at the end of the eighties." Kim answered, zipping up her backpack and slinging it over her shoulder. She adjusted her mission gear and clipped her utility belt over her hips, before turning to touch Ron's cheek. "I'll be fine. Bonnie can't hide any more, remember? She can't shrink, shapeshift or control birds, thanks to Drakken. I'm sure I'll be able to avoid them if I need to. Besides, something tells me they'll be licking their wounds for awhile. Get some rest." she ordered, doing her best to assure him. Planting a kiss on her fiancé's lips, she added, "I love you, okay? The wedding's only a month away, and nothing could keep me away from that." she grinned, sliding a hand gently around his back before spinning away and grabbing her car keys from the table.
Ron followed her with a puppy dog pout of his own. "Just be careful, alright?"
Kim cocked her head to the side as she opened the door. "Hey..." she said with a smile. "It's me!" Before Ron could reply, Kim was out the door and descending the elevator down to the parking garage.
While Ron had wanted to severely upgrade their living accommodations with his surprising windfall, Kim had dialed him back, even though she found it a challenge not to agree with him. But it was only a month before they were married, and she didn't want everything he had earned to dry up like his first Naco royalties check before that happened. He was being surprisingly responsible this time, though his suspiciously attractive Hawaiian secretary Kalea seemed to be helping keep him earth bound.
She passed another tenant on the way to her car, slid into the Sloth, and started it, pausing for a moment as her hunch played with her emotions. Something felt wrong all of a sudden, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She looked at her wrist kimmunicator for a moment, contemplating calling Ron to make sure everything was fine, then decided against it. The 'wrongness' vibe she had felt had subsided, and she risked being late for the GJ cargo jet as it was. There simply wasn't anywhere for the herculean sized hyper jet to even get close in the heart of Diverse City.
"Here we go." she said to herself, starting the car and revving the engine. "Next stop, the jungles of Brazil."
