Back downstairs, Dick ran into the living room excitedly.
"K, you won't believe it!" he shouted.
"Believe what dear?" Agent K, lowering herself down from the ceiling.
That kid, has monkey powers" Dick explained.
"Come again?"
"Kim's backup dancer guy, or partner or whatever" Dick explained "I took him into the garage, you know, to show him my cool stuff, and he was talking with C.A.R, and he got mad, and he turned blue and blew the garage door off!" Dick finished, panting heavily "it was awesome!"
"Are you sure this isn't like the time you thought you had 'raccoon powers' because a number of them were following you around, but it turned out they were only following you because your cologne smelled like garbage?" Agent K asked.
"This is nothing like that" Dick assured her "and that was fun, until they attacked me. Where's Todd? He'll want to see this."
As Dick ran off to find his son, Agent K took in this new info, just as Riley came down the stairs.
"Hey mom, I heard an explosion from the garage. Was dad souping up his bike again?"
"No, apparently that blonde haired friend of your idol has some kind of powers and blew off our garage door. Pure hogwash, really, I mean who ever heard of someone with extra ordinary powers."
"Oh dad must've been talking about the Mystic Monkey power" Riley commented "yeah, Ron has that."
"Oh really?"
"Uh-huh, he got them a few years ago, but didn't learn how to control them until a few months ago" Riley said "or at least, that's what people say on the Kim Possible message boards."
"Riley, I'm not sure I like you hanging out with someone who has a friend with bizarre powers" Agent K said "what if he, pardon the pun, goes ape and levels half the city?"
"Relax mom, Ron is cool" Riley said "once you meet Kim you'll see that."
"Yes and where is your new idol, anyway" Agent K asked, adding a tone of disgust to the word 'idol.'
"She said she had to go to the bathroom" Riley replied "I'm sure she won't be too much longer."
"What have you got Wade?" Kim asked, as she stood in the Daring family's bathroom.
"According to my research, Riley's parents were in a car crash a few years ago" Wade explained "and she and Todd were in an orphanage up until last year. But it gets better; there's no record of them ever being formally adopted. It's as if their parents just appeared from thin air."
"A coincidence?" Kim asked.
"Not entirely" Wade said "I did some more digging and found something very interesting. Remember FleemCo, that company that asked you to visit Riley? Apparently, it has a little something called 'the Replacements program' which allows kids to replace adults in their lives with better ones."
"No way."
"Way" Wade replied "and Riley's adopted parents; members of said program."
"Okay, this just got a whole lot more interesting" Kim replied "you think this replacement thing can be used for evil?"
"I'm not finding any records of that" Wade said "but it's possible."
"Ron may have been on to something" Kim replied "I'm going to meet with Riley's mom. Maybe I can learn more about this replacements thing."
"Good luck"
"Mom, did you hear? Dad says the garage door got blown off by the skinny guy" Todd said excitedly, after running into the living room with Dick.
"Yes, your father did mention something like that" Agent K replied, uninterested.
"This is neat, think of all the cool things we can do with his powers!" Todd said "I can so totally get Buzz, and anyone else who messes with me."
"Todd, you shouldn't take advantage of Ron and make him do bad things" Riley said "did you learn nothing from the incident with RoboFleem?"
"Don't judge me" Todd replied.
Before Riley could chastise her brother any further, Kim finally came down the stairs.
"Sorry I took so long" she said "I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
"Kim, your boyfriend rocks!" Todd shouted "why didn't you tell me he had cool powers?"
"Well, it's not something I like to bring up in causal conversation" Kim explained "besides, I'm just getting used to it myself."
At that moment, Ron & Rufus wandered in.
"I apologize for the whole garage door deal" Ron said "your car was copping a 'tude with me and I exploded."
"That's okay, I can't count the number of times I've damaged the garage" Dick replied.
"You're my new hero!" Todd said, glomping unto Ron's leg "come on, I want you to meet my classmate Buzz. I have big plans for him, oh yes, big plans" he added, laughing evilly.
"O-kay" Ron replied nervously "KP, this kid is making me a little nervous."
"Darling, why don't you take Miss Possible's boyfriend and Todd out for ice cream?" Agent K suggested "I'd like some alone time with Riley and her new idol."
"Oh boy, ice cream!" Dick shouted, as he ran off like a happy schoolkid.
"Dad, wait up!" Todd yelled, running after him. Ron didn't move, but instead looked at Kim, as if waiting for her approval.
"Oh go ahead, just don't be gone too long."
"Thanks KP, love ya!" Ron shouted, as he and Rufus scampered off.
Once the boys had left, Agent K turned her attention to Kim. "So, you're the famous Kim Possible?"
"That's right."
"And you save the world repeatedly, I understand."
"Well, I don't like to brag, but I have ruined quite a number of evil schemes."
"Wow, you're so humble!" Riley said, amazed.
"Well then, let me ask you this" Agent K continued "have you ever faced down a band of ninja assassins in the rainforest while trying to deliver a CD vital to national security?"
"Well, no, assassins aren't really my sitch…"
"I see" Agent K replied, smiling a little "so, can I also assume that you've never stopped a plot to melt the polar ice caps and sell them as ice cubes?"
"No, but that's incredibly stupid" Kim replied "it sounds like something Drakken would come up with."
"I'm sorry, Drakken?"
"Kim's arch-enemy" Riley explained "mad scientist, has blue skin, wants to rule the world, kind of a moron."
"Well, my enemies all have normal skin and are not morons" Agent K explained "except for the No Brainer, that is."
"What's with the third degree?" Kim asked, suspicious.
"Just making sure you're on the level" Agent K replied "after all, I have to check all my daughter's heroes, to make sure they're having a good influence on her."
"I assure you, I would never do anything to hurt Riley."
"Yeah, she even taught me some cool moves" Riley said "check out this kick." The girl attempted a kick, but promptly fell flat on her butt "ow! I'm never going to get the hang of this!"
"If you want dear, I can teach you a few of my moves" Agent K said "having trained for longer than Miss Possible here, I can teach you the correct way to do them."
"I'm beginning to get the impression that you don't like me" Kim said, slightly miffed.
"Don't be silly" Agent K replied "just because you waltz into my house and steal my daughter away with your catchphrases and your website, you think that I don't like you?"
"Look, I don't know what you think , but I'm not trying to steal Riley from you, okay?"
"Oh, of course not" Agent K replied "the fact that Riley would rather learn about the world of espionage from you rather than her own mother is simply a coincidence."
"Is that what this is about?" Riley asked "mom, no one can ever replace you, figuratively, I mean, Kim is cool, but she's not you; you raised me and teach me things about the world in your own 'unique' way and I'm so grateful. And, truth is, one of the reasons I admire Kim so much is that she reminds me a lot of you."
"It's every mothers dream to hear that the person her daughter admires most resembles her in someway" Agent K said, as she pulled Riley in for a hug. After letting go, she addressed Kim "and I wish to apologize to you for my behavior."
"No big" Kim replied "you were worried about losing your daughter, I can understand. Anyway, I'm just glad you and Riley didn't have a huge argument so that she'd lose another mom."
"'Lose another mom?'" Agent K, before turning to look at her daughter "Riley, what have you been telling her?"
"She pried it out of me" Riley said.
"It's cool, I know all about the adopted sitch" Kim explained "and I learned about FleemCo and how it had a hand in things."
"And just how did you learn all this?"
"Wade, he's my genius friend" Kim explained "there's pretty much no information he can't obtain."
"I'm not sure I like the sound of that" Agent K replied "how do I know your friend won't use his talents for evil?"
"I could ask the same about the 'Replacements program'" Kim countered.
"Touche Miss Possible."
"So there I was, surrounded by Dr. Scorpius's ninjas" Agent K told Kim "and it looked like he would finally obtain the rare radioactive isotope. But using my training, I fought off the ninjas, destroyed Scorpius's base, and returned the isotope back to England."
"Wow, that was some adventure" Kim said "Riley was right, we're not so different."
"Yes, it seems we aren't" Agent K replied "and I am sorry I said you don't fight real villains; to be fair, some of my foes are quite bizarre. Like Tiny Evil, for example."
"At least you've never fought a guy with monkey hands and feet" Kim added.
"You've got me there" Agent K said "although I did fight a man who was half-chicken. You could say he 'laid an egg.'" K noticed that Kim wasn't laughing at her joke "sorry about that. Anywhere, there was also Dementor, he was a real piece of work."
"Hang on, Dementor? Professor Dementor?" Kim asked "short guy, German, yells a lot?"
"That's right, do you know him?" Agent K asked.
"Yeah, I've fought him several times."
"I had heard that he was back in action. I was going to go after him, but I was informed someone else had been stopping him. I initially assumed it was another agent, but now…"
"Mom, you never mentioned you fought one of Kim's enemies" Riley said.
"To be fair dear, I didn't know until just now" Agent K replied "yes, I remember that battle well. It was when I was just starting out as a spy. And he didn't go by 'professor' when I knew him..."
Several years earlier….
Despite the heavy fortifications on the lab in Britain, its' security was breached by a villain with a purpose.
"At last!" screamed the young Dementor, flanked by several of his henchmen. The villain wore metal armor under his trademark outfit, as well as a metal mask in place of his helmet.
"Vith the electro magnet at mein disposal, I can bring ze world to its' knees!"
"The only person being brought to their knees today, will be you, Dr. Dementor!" said a female voice, as a young Agent K flipped out from behind some machinery.
"Ahh, ze famous Agent K" Dementor said "how did you know I would be here?"
"It wasn't that hard" Agent K replied "a villain of your caliber couldn't resist something as powerful as the electro magnet. Besides, you mentioned it in the latest issue of Modern Villain magazine."
The agent produced a copy of the magazine from her suit. On the cover was picture of Dementor with the caption "Dr. Dementor; genius, or wacko?"
"I am still not happy vith ze face I am making on ze cover" Dementor replied "get her!"
A number of his henchmen, who were less muscular then his current ones, charged Agent K. The spy flipped up and came down with both legs on one of them, knocking him out. She then traded blows with another, before taking him down with a sweep kick.
Three more of them rushed her from all sides, ad she was buried under their bodies. But, using her skills, she slipped free.
"You'll have to do better than that gentlemen" she said.
The goons rushed her again, but this time she produced a smoke bomb and threw it at them. While they coughed, K quickly took them out with her skills.
"Now to deal with you Dementor" she said, searching the lab for the diminutive villain.
"Guess again!" came Dementor's voice, and K ducked as a blast of energy zoomed right over her head.
"Mein armor should prove to be more zan a match for you" Dementro said, firing blast after blast from his gloves.
Hiding behind several crates, Agent K mulled her options.
I'm not sure I can handle him with that armor of his she thought, scanning the lab but I don't think I'll have to.
She flipped out of her hiding spot, just as it was blasted by Dementor, and activated her grapple, swinging towards what she hoped would help her.
"You are only delaying ze inevitable Agent K" Dementor said, trying to blast her "mein armor is designed to withstand ze shell of ze strongest tank, und is immune to bullets, flamethrowers, und laser fire."
"That may be" Agent K said, landing atop the electro magnet "but can it withstand the forces of nature?"
Quickly, she aimed her grapple at the controls for the magnet and pulled the activation lever.
"I cannot believe I did not see zis coming" Dementor commented.
The magnet activated, and with it's incredible range, Dementor was soon stuck to it.
"How ironic, the one thing you planned to steal has brought about your downfall" Agent K said.
"You think you have won, but I vill get you for zis" Dementor raged, as he wiggled against the magnet "I vill not forget how you humiliated me!"
"Yes well, when you get out of jail, we'll talk about it" Agent K said "until then, cheerio" she added, swinging away on her grappling line.
"Zis is so embarrassing" Dementor said "but at least it cannot get any worse."
Just then, a mysterious guy entered the lab.
"Dr. Dementor?"
"Ja, vhat do you vant?"
"I represent Marvel comics" the guy said "they feel you are too similar to their 'Dr. Doom' character. Unless you change your appearance, they will pursue legal action."
"Gah! Vhy is zis happening to me?"
"And that's pretty much it" Agent K concluded "I battled Dementor a few times after that, once when he tried to steal an experimental British sub. By then, he was calling himself Professor Dementor."
"How did you know about that comics thing? You weren't there when it happened." Riley asked.
"Please Riley, I'm a spy, I can find out whatever I want" Agent K replied "after a few defeats, I never heard from Dementor again. Then, I heard he had resurfaced, but before I could do anything, someone else had stopped his plans, so I quit worrying."
"And you never thought that he might seek revenge?" Kim asked.
"No, our battles were so long ago, I doubt he even remembers" Agent K replied.
Suddenly, two of Dementor's muscular henchmen crashed in through the window. The door to the house was smashed open, and several more henchmen piled in. And following behind them was their diminutive leader.
"Agent K, it has been a long time, but I finally tracked you down" Dementor said "und now, I shall have my revenge!"
"Something tells me he remembered" Kim commented.
In the next chapter, Kim & K work together to battle Dementor and his goons. Plus, the evil doc outlines the details of his revenge.
