Unwanted Visitor
"Aconasema, I have good and bad news?"
"Good news?"
"It was extremely hard. But, I located Jupiter Kipling's origins".
"Bad news?"
"He's tied with the League of Shadows".
"Ares, I want your honest opinion. You've studied Fury's chip. Does it favor Hydra's past models?"
"The design variation fits theirs like a glove. I'm sending all evidence over your tablet".
Mariah Hill, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Deputy Director, took over Fury's duties. Emil Rocco insisted she start immediately. She no sooner settles into his office. A bright light washes over everything. Mariah covers her eyes looking up when the light. And there they stood. Inside her new office. Aconasema and a young oriental teen.
Her pupils radiate raw rage. How dare she show up inside her office? Especially after what she'd pulled in the Amazon. 600 shield agents died in that ambush. She draws her firearm but didn't get off a single shot. Her gun dissolves into thin air. She relaxes her stance asking, "What do you want here? And who's she?"
"See what I meant, Kimiko?"
"Yea, Mama," Kimiko nods. "They're brash, irrational, but amusing creatures".
One question answered. This young woman was this goddess' daughter. Mariah turns her attention towards the mother reiterating, "What do you want?"
"To warn you, don't get used to that seat. It won't be yours for long".
"Why's that," Mariah showed great concern.
"I'm charging Dr. Director, Global Justice, the GSC, and its Chairman, Ivan Pedrov, along with your Nick Fury, S.H.I.E.L.D., your Shadow Committee, and Emil Rocco with 64 counts of first and second-degree murder, criminal conspiracy to commit murder, hiring assassins to kill American citizens on home soil to cover your organization's secret association with the League of Shadows..."
"What?" Mariah leaps onto her feet, "You can't! That'd ruin us".
"Already done," Aconasema casts her evidence over her desk. "That evidence is already circulating among your hero allies and villain communities. I imagine, even your agents will wise up and abandon this sinking ship by week's end".
"Who'll file these charges? You surely can't".
"True. I can't," Aconasema grins mischievously. "Your boss and his co-conspirators murdered 24 people during their crusade against Kim Possible, over her allegedly helping me. Their personal assassin tortured Shego and Team Go, her brothers".
She gasps, her mind flooded with doubt.
"Oh, they sank lower. Your boss and his pals targeted three families for termination, just so they could get their hands on a 6 to 7-year old little girl, believed to be my daughter. Just imagine how people will react when they learn why Fury and his pals did all this.
"And why will they be so outraged?" Mariah condescends.
"Your boss appropriated S.H.I.E.L.D. funds to finance rogue scientists in developing an aggressive neuro compliance chip. These scientists completed their research. Fury didn't alert his bosses on the Shadow Committee. He contacted his co-conspirators in this war against me. They manufactured this chip for a very perverse reason.
Fury and his pals desire a weapon, only my blood can yield. Anyone else touches this weapon. And it'd slay them. But, raise up a seed from my blood, and they could have their super soldier, who can wield this mystical weapon".
"How are they supposed to accomplish this feat?" Mariah casts doubts over her claims. She wasn't prepared for her rival's answer.
"Oh, that's where my charges rest. Fury and his pals intend on using their chip to force a grandfather to violently rape a preteen girl, hoping to impregnate her. Her survival isn't paramount. Once she does, they'd have their demigod super soldier, who could wield this ancient weapon".
Mariah gasps, mortified at hearing her ridiculous charges, "I don't believe this".
Aconasema sorts through her evidence picking out three CDs and three DVD, "Listen to those CDs, watch those DVDs, and you will believe me. They're very informative. The DVD marked 'Fury's Own Confession' records your boss…"
"Dear God, if the appropriations committee hears this, S.H.I.E.L.D. is done. Who else knows about this so-called evidence of yours?"
"Loraine Cosgrove..."
"The Secretary General of the United Nations' wife. She's a major gossip," Mariah swipes her sweaty forehead. She turns back around. Her visitors were gone.
Aconasema announces the same charges against Global Justice. Interim Director Will Du reacted the same as Mariah did.
A Little Dissension Among Frenemies
In fact, Will—as Interim Senior Director over Global Justice—did what she needed most, warns his GSC boss.
"What!?"
"I kid you not, Mr. Chairman. She intends on filing charges against Global Justice, the GSC, Dr. Director, even you, personally, Sir".
Ivan Pedrov balks at that last part, slamming down his receiver, steamed. He'd helped the boss do many deplorable things over the last three years. All were illegal, not being sanctioned. He wouldn't have dreamt of doing two-thirds of those vile acts, if humanity's very existence wasn't on the line. People should hail him a hero. Instead, he'd been hung out to dry, and could wind up being labeled a traitor.
He spends the next 20-minutes pondering his situation. He couldn't devise a way out. And to make matters worse, he'd repeated called his boss' number only to hear the same daunting message, "This line has been temporarily disconnected or no longer in service. Please hang up and try your call again later". His temper flares worse with each rejection. It was past time he played his ace dialing the boss.
"Emil Rocco here".
"Hello, Hammerhead".
"Hammerhead? Who's this?"
"Ivan Predrov, Chairman of Global Justice's Global Securities Council (GSC)".
"Fine," Rocco cedes. "What can S.H.I.E.L.D. do for Global Justice, Chairman Pedrov?"
"How about we discuss the last 3-years".
"What about it?"
The Boss' denials only exacerbates his furor, "Don't play the denial card with me. I know and can prove who you really are, Hammerhead".
"Hammerhead? What the hell are you talking about, Pedrov?"
Pedrov perceives Emil dropping his veiled threat as a veiled threat. He knew he had the right man. Rocco couldn't come right out and say, 'I'm the boss'.
"What am I talking about?" Pedrov condescends. He couldn't believe Chairman Rocco's gall. "What about S.H.I.E.L.D. locating Golden Heart, lying unto its allies to mislead us, then attacking Global Justice agents in the Amazon, Mr. Chairman?"
"That's nonsense, and you can't prove we did. You've wasted enough of my time," Rocco slams down his phone receiver.
Deputy Chairman Chamberlain occupied an office adjacent Rocco's.
Chairman Rocco hears a distinct knock replying, "C'min, Will".
He eases inside his superior's office, "These walls here aren't that thick. I heard you yelling, but couldn't make out what was said. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay".
"Oh, that," he snorts dismissively. "Global Justice's Chief GSC Idiot, Ivan Pedrov called to threaten me, moments ago".
"Over what?"
"He thought I was someone code named, Hammerhead. Can you have a more idiotic code name?" Rocco breaks up laughing, hard.
Will Chamberlain joins him laughing boisterously. Inside, he wanted to kill his mentor. "What else did Pedrov say, just for laughs?"
Rocco calms down enough, "He claims, S.H.I.E.L.D. learnt Golden Heart's location then attacked Global Justice agents in the Amazon".
"What? That's idiotic".
"About as idiotic as that mutant filing charges against S.H.I.E.L.D., this committee, as well as Global Justice, its GSC".
"What charges, Emil?"
"Sixty counts of first and second-degree murder, criminal conspiracy to commit murder, hiring assassins to kill American citizens to cover our association with the League of Shadows".
"Wait, she can't be serious? I mean, really serious?"
"Serious as a heart attack, My Friend," Rocco brings their situation into perspective. "We're about to be under the GSC's Special Investigations Division's microscope. Everything we've done over the past 3-5 years called into question".
Meeting of Minds
"I'd best go prepare," Will laughs timidly heading towards the door. Mind reeling with doubts. Did Pedrov really have evidence against him? If true, why'd he mistake Emil for Hammerhead? Maybe that part was intentional? He disconnected Hammerhead's phone. He may be sending him an indirect message, but what? He didn't have time for guessing games. He couldn't chance exposure with an impending SSC investigation into what he's been doing the past five years.
Chamberlain makes a beeline for the GSC complex's parking garage. He climbs into his car and starts up its engine. Ten minutes later, he hits I-478 Brooklyn, N.Y., heading south. He grabs a newly activated satellite phone dialing his emergency contact.
"Hello".
"Viper, we have three major problems".
"What problems are those, Sir?"
"First, Aconasema has done it again. She's ignited a bloody feud between Dr. Director and her GSC and Fury and his Shadow Committee. Plus, she's stirred up our victims' families. Now, they're filing murder charges against Global Justice, its Senior Director, and GSC, as well as S.H.I.E.L.D., its senior director, including Pedrov and Rocco. Pedrov's so rattled, he's threatening to expose us all".
"What do you want me to do?"
"Find and destroy Pedrov's evidence, and terminate him".
"Nick Fury and Betty Director, too, Boss?"
"Both".
"I've heard an unsettling rumor, Boss. It seems, we targeted the wrong people. The little girl isn't even this goddess' daughter. Aconasema tricked us into chasing decoys?"
"I can't argue there," Chamberlain as Hammerhead cinches. "She probably did this to keep us busy until she planned her next move".
"I'd say, she's ready now, or she'd never moved against us this quickly".
"Can't argue there, either," Hammerhead delegates their next move. "We must also strike back. This SSC investigation will start within the week. And they'll have me under heavy surveillance. We must deal with Pedrov immediately. The Possibles, Stoppables, and Loads can wait. Call the boss, he'll know what we should do next".
"I'll relay your concerns," Fukushima cracks up laughing, abruptly hanging up.
He'd hung up. On him! Only then did he irony. He disavowed Dr. Director's actions, classifying her as a rogue agent. G.J. would be free and clear if someone exposed her actions. Now, Viper did the same thing unto him. He contemns his gullibility, believing he was Viper's boss. He deduces, the rumors were true. Viper worked under the real Boss,'Nicolo Silvino'. Strucker's new alias".
"Kim, the device is ready," Ares comes over her earbud.
Kim taps her ear bud twice, signaling she was busy but would respond as soon as possible. She kills the digital recorder, and vanishes from Chamberlain's backseat".
The Art of Subterfuge
Nearly twenty scientists spent two weeks locked inside a cramped lab. All tasked with building an emergency neruo-synaptic override module. She'd put her mom in charge of this project way before she acquired Fury or Dr. Director.
Aconasema materializes inside their lab, "Is the device ready, Doctor?"
"I believe..."
She backhands her mother without warning grumbling, "I didn't ask your opinion. Such opinions leave room for doubt. You could be right or wrong. I ask you a simple question. And I expect a simple, prompt response, yes or no answer, not excuses. Do you understand me, Doctor?"
"It's ready, Aconasema," Anne affirms, climbs back onto her feet, while rubbing her stinging cheeks.
"Now, was that so hard?" She prays her mother understands, and can someday forgive her actions. "Millions of lives hinge on this device working properly".
"You three, escort the other prisoners back unto their cells".
"What about me?"
"I can't release you just yet, Doc. You still have emergency surgery. If your patient dies, so do you and your family. Now, move," Aconasema shoves her violently towards the O.R.
Every scientist glares among themselves, feeling sorry for Anne, but relieved their part in this madness was finally over.
Anne's jaw still stung over Kim's blow. She waits until well beyond earshot asking, "Kimmie, what's going on? Why all the roughhousing?"
Kim didn't respond. She didn't have to.
Anne enters the O.R. and stops cold, observing a 16-year-old Hana standing near the operating table. "What the…?"
"Hana and my clones are below," she lies. Hers was. Hana reverted back to her younger self and was below. A clone took her 16-year old Kimiko's place. Kim tries to explain her actions, "I'm trying to arrange it where Hana and I can return home, unto our old lives, Mom.
If this fails, Hana and I must vanish forever. Which mean, Ron loses his wife and sister, and the Stopaables lose their daughter. Worse of all, Hana loses the only Mom and Dad she's ever known. I don't know what else I can do. I can't leave her with them, if she isn't safe, Mom".
Anne didn't understand everything. She comprehended enough. Her daughter was doing whatever she thought was necessary to save her daughter. She'd do the same thing in her place. She simply couldn't understand, "Is that why this man is so important, Kimmie?"
"Mom, you're operating on my boss, Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. If he lives, there's hope that Hana and I can possibly return home. If he dies, we never can. S.H.I.E.L.D. and Global Justice will blame his death on me. His global counterparts will come after us with blood in their eyes. We'll be marked for life. We won't be safe anywhere. And we'll always be a clear and present danger to anyone around us. My plan hinges on his survival. He's crucial to helping me resolve this situation".
She'd studied this chip's schematics, the same schematics Kimmie delivered unto Tony Stark. Even he hadn't figured a way to diffuse this chip. "Honey, I can't disarm this implant. It's a very high-tech neuropathic nano-explosive".
"Don't freak out, Mom," Kim calms her worst fears. "I never expected you'd be able to remove or disarm this chip".
"Then, Darling, I'm confused. Why am I here?"
"I don't think you recognize your own handiwork, Mom. You helped design this neuro-compliance chip, implanted at the base of this man's skull".
"Me?" Anne rasps. She'd devoted her life to helping people. She never dreamt her research might be used so easily to harm the masses.
"Yes, you," Kim fingers her mom. She didn't do this to condemn, but give her a reason to look closer at this device's schematics. Maybe she'd see something Stark and the others missed.
"When'd I help someone design something to harm people?" Anne believed her daughter was truly mistaken about this.
"You helped Stark Enterprises design a chip to help quadriplegics walk again".
"Yes," she nods with recognition, but not seeing the connection.
"Well, Hydra stole, the modified your research. Now, they can implant these chips in people's heads. Hydra's scientists can siege control over someone, causing his/her to act contrary to his/her own will. You must open this man's head and insert my chip…"
"Yea, but…"
"It's okay, Mom," Kim beckons her patience while she explains. "My chip doesn't control these people".
"What then is its purpose, Kimmie? I don't feel comfortable implanting another chip into a man's head. Someone's already violated his trust. Now, we're contemplating doing the same thing".
"Relax, Mom," Kim coaxes her sensibilities. Even she had to admit. She'd been acting strange lately. And she couldn't explain why. Her mom had a right to doubt her motives here. Fury did persecute, then fire, and lastly try to kill her. Her mom wasn't sure about her motives any more.
She brings their situation into proper perspective, "This Boss—whoever he/she is—will consider Fury a liability, and eventually throw the kill-switch on Fury's implant. If he does, and Fury's chip processes that termination signal, that implant will inject a lethal poison into his bloodstream. My chip is nano-morphic, and will merge with his current implant, interfacing with its com systems".
"Oh, I get it. It'll act as a filter".
"Exactly," Kim nods.
"What about Dr. Director's, Kimmie?"
"The medic-bots removed hers without any issues. Besides, hers wasn't neuro compliance. She knew what she was doing, every step along the way. Hers was a simple tracker. Someone else is examining it. I doubt he'll find anything that'll help us disarm Fury's chip. Theirs are so different. If he can, maybe we can safely remove this chip altogether. For now, even the medical bots calculate his chances of survival better under your care than theirs".
"I'll do my best, Kimmie".
"I know, you're appalled by my recent actions, especially when I struck you. I pray someday you can understand, and maybe forgive me, Mom. Please understand, though. I'll do whatever's necessary to get Hanna back home, even to dying. The Stoppables are the only family she's ever known. I don't wish to steal that. If I can't return her home, my marriage is over. Ron will never forgive my disappearing with his baby sister".
Anne sighs heavily. She didn't envy her daughter's position. Parenting was hard enough. She only wished to remove these burdens but couldn't. She could only offer comforting words, "I may not truly comprehend the stakes here, or grasp why you've acted the way you have, Kimmie. I certainly grasp the drive of motherhood. You'll do whatever's necessary to keep your little one safe".
"I'm glad you understand that much, Mom. I can't explain anymore right now. I promise, if we're still alive when this is over, I'll explain what's going down in greater detail, Mom".
"Kim," Wade interrupts urgently, "they're moving against Pedrov".
"Is he attending the conference like I said he would?"
"Well, yea," he wavers a bit, unsure how she knew he would.
"Just relax, Ares. Don't get so hyper. Everything is under control. Identify the jet's flight attendants".
"There's two stewardesses assigned to this flight".
"Good," Kim lays out her plan. "Choose one and arrange her to win an all-expense paid vacation to Hawaii, Acapulco, wherever she want to go the most. I want you next to create Scarlett Flame a temporary cover identity, and reassign her to replace this attendant. I'll sweep Pedrov's Stockholm suite. We need him alive, if we're to bring down those behind this madness".
"Alright, Kim," Wade signs off. His voice ripe with uncertainty.
"You'd think he's a newbie. Always dramatizing over every little detail lately," Kim winks at her mom, then vanishes.
Anne rubs her jaw, not sure what to think. Her daughter strikes her, then starts joking about Wade. Her recent actions defied logic.
Anne starts to prep for surgery.
Anne starts surgery, uncertain what to expect next. Her daughter surpassed anything she ever expected she could accomplish in life. Now, she'd become hthe most wanted woman on Earth. If you enjoy what you're reading, drop me a PM or review.
