That Certain Look
Aconasema and Kimiko reappear back inside the medical area. Kim balks, seeing the other scientists outside their cell.
"Doctor, why are they here? Outside their cells?"
"Nick Fury flat-lined, twice. I couldn't keep him alive alone. I needed help resuscitating him. Your guards release the medical staff to help me monitor his vital, Aconasema".
"You two, get him under the medical droids' care," she casts her newest prison towards the closest two guards.
"Doctor, treat my daughter. She's your only patient until healed," Aconasema storms off royally mad.
Anne stood there the longest, preoccupied, deep in thought. Mind wrestling with uncertainty. Here was a 16-year old Hana. The same she'd seen a few days ago. She'd reverted back to her younger self, or so she thought. But, what about the youngster below?
"Doc," Kimiko got no reaction, positive or negative.
"Doc!" She shouts, snapping her fingers to get her attention.
"Huh?" Anne snaps back.
"Patch me up. Quickly, Doc," Hanna urges her.
"What's wrong, Kimiko?"
"Mama's about to annihilate an entire ninja clan, alone".
"Why?" Anne couldn't imagine her daughter doing something like that.
"I'm her blood. Our last prisoner shot me point-blank, under their leaders' orders, Doc. She's boiling with rage right now and not thinking too clearly. I must be there to temper her actions".
"Honey, that's too much responsibility for such a young girl".
"Doc, age has nothing to do with responsibility. Men and women, some even younger than me, have shouldered greater responsibilities. Kids and adults tell themselves they can't handle their responsibilities, because they feel guilty over neglecting what's right. I'm not like them. She needs me.
Mama's suffered greatly, not just for me, but everyone else here. Family means everything unto her. And besides, our powers come with a certain level responsibility. I won't abandon mine just because I'm young. She's my blood, too".
Luckily, the slug wasn't buried that deep. Her vest took the brunt. Anne inserts the forceps and extracts the .38 special slug, while distracted. She cleans and sutures the wound, wrapping it in gauze. "That's very brave of you".
"Bravery has nothing to do with my actions, Doc. I'm terrified. But, I'm more worried about what she may do if she loses control. Mama might do something catastrophic, unless I can channel her fury. She hasn't learnt how to do that constructively yet". Gold armor settles over the teen. Her body, too, loses all coherency phasing the bases walls.
Anne runs over peering out the port window. Aconasema and Kimiko stood on the red planet's blood surface. Kim hovered a few meters above. Eyes closed. Mouth moving, possibly chanting something, like last time. Three whirlwinds dip down out the sky stirring the dirt. Iron oxide particles fuse together into giant terracotta warrior. A spark sets their monstrous bodies ablaze. Mother and child fuse into one, leaving these magnificent creatures outside the base.
A fused Aconasema and Kimiko reappears inside the medical bay. The hybrid leads Anne back into the dungeon below.
Anne didn't understand her plan's intricacies, but knew, play her hand right and she might be able to cancel the price on her daughter's head, and they could all return unto their normal lives. Anne stops just outside her family's cell.
"Step back, all of you," Aconasema targets her dad, brothers, and clone point-blank with a .50-cal Desert Eagle handgun. Her family doesn't offer any resistance.
Anne stop near the threshold, "I beg you, please reconsider..."
"I said shut up," Aonasema backhands her. "My mind is made up. They must pay".
Anne loses her footing bruising her right shoulder on the cell floor.
"Mama..."
"Go ahead, Little Red, take one step towards this door. Give me a reason to ventilate a Hydra spy. I promise I won't cry," she edges her clone, shoving her mom inside. It was Anne's turn to initiate the next stage of her daughter's plan.
Kim's clone kneels by her mother, eyeing Aconasema menacingly, "Are you okay, Mom".
"Wise choice, Little Red," Aconasema slams the cell door shut, and walks away cackling.
Aconasema slams their cell door and walks away cackling.
"I'm okay, Kimmie," she strokes her hand. Kim struck her twice in the last week. Her jaw stung, a thousand pins scrapping across her skin.
A Little One on One
"Anne, what's going on?" Dr. Director inquires for the first time.
"Oh, you're too much, Director," Anne rebukes the haughty woman.
"You've spent the last several years killing anyone connected with our daughter, and the last couple of months hunting us, personally," James shared his wife's contempt for the older woman.
And they weren't alone. "Even blew up our son and daughter-in-law's apartment". Dean and Olivia Stoppable reproach her openly.
"I didn't..."
"Save your lies, Betty," Kim's clone silences her assertive ex-mentor. "I traced your explosive expert. He tried but failed to kill Ron and me, and later my parents, Ron's, and Wade's family. Your man's name was Dante Reza. He tried to barbecue us under Hammerhead's..."
Dr. Director cringes hearing his name mentioned aloud. Knowing, if he ex-protégée knew about their S.H.I.E.L.D. head agent, she certainly knew about Pedrov.
Kim gets bolder seeing her boss squirming attesting, "Chairman Pedrov, Director Fury, and your explicit orders. I came across a recording, and intended on exposing you all. That was when Aconasema caught me.".
"Caught you?" Dr. Director assumed her being a plant. And they were playing parts. It'd what she'd done in their shoes.
"Yea, she's caught me. You heard her earlier. She's thinks we're all Hydra spies".
"Hydra spies? That's crazy. You..." Her conviction starts to waver.
"You should know crazy. Your people cornered the market on lunacy and carnage. You left enough dead bodies of my friends during your little crusade".
"What's that remark supposed to mean, Possible?" The older woman resented the implications against both herself personally and her agency.
"Why ask me? Ask your brain box. I mean, their logic has been so infallible lately. I'm Public Enemy #1, Aconasema in disguise, and Hanna, oh, well, she's my daughter, I somehow tricked the Stoppables into adopting".
"Know about that, do you?" Dr. Director sighs, nervously eyeing her cellmates' damning lours.
"Know about it? How could I not?" Kim scoffs. "Hell, Aconasema can't stop ranting about humanity's brightest being so gullible".
"Humanity's brightest?" She feigns ignorance.
"Don't be coy with me, Bets!" She rebukes her former mentor. "Fury, Hammerhead, Pedrov, you, and your co-conspirators collaborated to commit mass murder, then implemented your agencies with your crimes by using your positions trying to cover up your crimes. You tarnished S.H.I.E.L.D. and Global Justice's once impeccable reputation.
That alone should've curbed your vile actions. You didn't care. You capitalized your crimes without remorse. You hunted and killed countless people. Their only crime was their former connection with me. You killed them, they couldn't tell you what you wanted to know. You finally set your sights to kill my family and friends, where you could kidnap then rape a 7-year old girl. Why? Just so she could procreate. And you could have your demigod super soldier. I don't blame Aconasem for protecting her child".
Dr. Director kept quiet. She didn't deny nor affirm anything she'd said thus far. She wasn't sure how much her ex-protégée knew. Challenge her, and she could expose more. She couldn't stay quiet when she sides with Aconasema. "I can't believe you'd speak such foolishness, Possible. That mutant murdered hundreds of agents deep in the Amazon".
"And why were you there, Director?" Kim showed no pity for their dead or wounded.
Dr. Director falters, glaring away.
"Yea," she condescends, "I thought as much. She appeared in your office. Your 'orbital bio-scanner' locked onto Aconasema and Kimiko fused. You recalibrated your scanners, separated their individual life signs, then located onto their whereabouts, like Wade tracked Shego all those years ago".
Dr. Director sharpens her eyes upon the younger redhead.
Kim didn't back down, "Know this, Director. I can't prove you personally murder my closest friends. But, Aconasema can, and she will when she's ready. What's more, she can identify your co-conspirators real identities, even expose how you allied with Hydra in hunting us. Maybe that's why Fury and you didn't finish them off last time, when you had the chance?"
"You can't be..."
"Save your lies, Old Woman," Kim silences her quickly. "It's your lies that landed us in here".
Dr. Director didn't' buy her ex-protégée's lies. She'd clearly joined this mutant to destroy humanity. She'd say and do anything to protect Aconasmea, even to playing being her prisoner. "How am I possibly be responsible for our being prisoners in here, Possible?" She feigns ignorance.
"You're here, simply because you targeted her daughter. Again, I don't blame her over taking action against you. I would've done the same in her shoes. My family and I are prisoners over my own loyalty and gullibility. I defended Global Justice, Pedrov, Fury, and you, despite what you've put my family through. I truly believed, you did what you did because you considered me a genuine threat unto the world and humanity. I even told her.
I wanted, no, I needed to believe justice still exists. That was when she incarcerated me, my family, and my friends, accusing us all with being Hydra's spies, working covertly under Fury and you, and your Boss. She assumed we intended on double-crossing, then handing over Kimiko. You can't imagine how many times Aconasema's pulled me from my cell, just so she can gloat over some new evidence exposing what you planned on doing next. She especially loved where Pedrov told you, I believe…"
Dr. Director drops her head. Cognizant about what came next.
"O, yea, Director, Aconasema heard and recorded your secret conversation," she strokes her deepest regrets. "You told Pedrov, and I quote, we've gone too far now, we can't back down—alluding unto your involvement in murdering my classmates, allies, and Team Possible support base, as well as illegally detaining and incarcerating suspects. And why'd you do all this. So you could hunt a little girl, who was only a decoy in a sinister game of wits between your Boss and Aconasema. And what's Pedrov say, Dr. Director?" Kim teases her over being disavowed.
Dr. Director drops her head. She knew her protégée knew more about their operation than she ever dreamt possible. She wished she could get word back unto their allies. At least she could still save her world and humanity. Her protégée had clearly been brainwashed. She was a lost caused, but exploitable.
"Oh, yea," Kim digs in the spurs, "he disavowed your murderous actions. You must bear the bitter consequences of your own actions. Aconasema, however, can absolve Fury easy enough. You knew…"
Her accusations finally sink in along with the implications. "What," Dr. Director protests. "you can't be serious, Possible. This isn't you".
Hears The Truth
"Mom," Kim rest her case. Her mom could share her medical opinion. Maybe that would convince the pessimist, though probably not.
"My daughter speaks the truth, Director," Anne attests. "Aconasema discovered, Hydra planted a neuro-synaptic compliance module near the base of Fury's skull. That's why she pulled me into surgery. I was tasked with removing it".
"Did you?"
"No. I couldn't," she shakes her head.
"Let's pray these idiots don't try to activate that chip. And she finds out it's still active".
"She'd be more convinced than ever we're Hydra spies," Professor X plays his part, joining this heated debate. Dr. Director was difficult to read, but he tries. That was probably why Aconasema housed them in co-joining cells. They'd be close together. Maybe she'd lower her guard and he could get a read?
"What about you, Wolverine?" Dr. Director takes a dig at the mutant.
Wolverine detested playing the weakling. He swallows his pride deploying his claws. He strikes the cell bars snapping several claw's tip ends. Wolverine collapses on his knee nursing that arm, "Whatever she used in constructing these bars. The material's harder than adamantium. I also suspect, whatever this material is, it coats her entire skeletal structure, like adamantium does mine. But, unlike mine, hers is semi-soluble and in constant flux. I suppose, that is what enables her to rearrange her bio-mass and pass through solid objects".
"You expect me to believe you're her prisoner, too?"
"Lady, believe whatever the hell you want? But, yea, I am".
"Yea right, and I'm the pope," she wounds his male ego. Maybe then he'd become more volatile and unintentionally divulge this mutant goddess' real play. He was talking, so she deepens the wound, "Why would she incarcerate her own father? That part of this little ruse doesn't make any sense".
Wolverine sees through her ploy. He diffuses her tactic, "Lady, I can't believe your unmitigated gall. Here we are. All of us prisoners. And you persist on playing with your stupid mind games. Well, save it! They won't work on me. I'm Weapon X, remember?" He smites his chest.
"Men and women a hell of a lot smarter than you tried these same games, and more, against me, decades before you were even born, Mrs. Director. You're not as smart as you might think. If you were, you'd realize. Fear trumps logic here. My daughter knows, you created me as the ultimate weapon. I know I'd never purposely harm my daughter or granddaughter.
However, my daughter doesn't know me that well, and, quite honestly, she can't take the chance. For all she knows, you and your conspirators could've implanted some chip inside my head, like Fury's. All you'd need to do is throw a switch, and I'd turn against and possibly harm them, acting against my own will. She isn't sure who she can trust right now, or if she can trust anyone ever again".
"This irony is," Dr. Anne Possible backs up his testimony, "you're sacrificing all our lives for a little girl who cannot possibly be Aconasema's".
"What are you talking about, Anne?" Dr. Director shouts in disbelief, but still inquires, as if she still valued her medical opinion, and willing to entertain the possibility she might be right.
"Aconasema's daughter isn't even Hana's age. Her name's Kimiko Hanamura. She's 16 years old. And your co-conspirator, Hammerhead, put a slug into her right shoulder".
Wolverine loses it, hearing they'd shot his granddaughter. "Lady, you'd best pray I don't get loose, or you're dead! You hear me….D-E-A-D!"
"Wolverine, calm down," Professor X rebukes him, convinced, he's about to blow this ploy, if he didn't reel in his legendary temper.
Dr. Director backs up into the far backwall in her cell. She wanted to put as much distance as she could between her and this unstable mutant. She sees the blood in his eyes, all hostilities directed towards her. She starts to doubt her early reaction. Maybe they really were prisoners, like her, and not working with this humanity-hating goddess.
Kim's clone discerns her ex-boss' reserve doubts. Wolverine outburst endangered their ruse. She must distract Dr. Director or she might figure out what they were doing. " "Are you getting a little nervous, Director," she prods her timidity. "I wish he could get loose. If I could, I'd be the first to personally unlock your cell and let him inside".
"Kimmie-Cub, you can't mean that," her father disproves such talk.
"The hell I don't, Dad," she defies him openly. Her eyes locked with Dr. Director's. "First, she protects her brother. I naively justified her little indiscretion, saying, Gemini's family. Now, she joins Hydra hunting a 7-year old little girl. She murdered my closest friends, and sacrificed all those Global Justice, S.H.I.E.L.D., and Hydra agents. And for what? Nothing! Hanna isn't even Aconasema's",
"You Heartless Bitch!"
Changing Direction
Dr. Director had known Kim Possible long enough. She seldom displayed such anger or used such foul language. She changes the subject fast, "Where's Fury? And Ron?"
"Like you give a damn".
Anne knew this was a clone. She shared her daughter's bitter memories and tendencies to get a little emotional over what G.J. put them through a few years back. At least, Dr. Director tried to make amends by asking about Ron. Kim had already crossed the line. There was no turning back now. She'd sealed her fate. She had another chance her. Anne couldn't allow this clone to venture down the same path.
"Kimmie," she rebukes her sharply. But, her plan backfires. Her sons side with their clone-sister.
"No, Mom, Kim's right," Jim sides with her.
"She asked about her partner first, and only then, Ron".
"Don't you understand why?" Kim tries to justify their outburst.
Her mom and dad shake their heads replying, "No".
"Ron was an afterthought. She only mentioned Ron to soften our disdain towards her," Kim explains her ex-boss' tact. "It's a form of psychological coercion. It's designed to ease a mark's hostilities towards you. And, if done right, it can motive a suspect to identify with your objectives. Sometimes, a suspect will even trust their interrogator enough to share classified information, they wouldn't normally share with anyone. I know how she thinks, Mom," Kim glares towards Dr. Director with deep distrust.
"Oh, Kimmie, really," her mother didn't buy her paranoid conspiracies.
Dr. Director smirks. Knowing she's garnered a least one source. For now.
"To answer your question, Director," Anne supplies what she wanted to know. "Ron is in critical condition. I can't say why she's protecting him. I only know, Fury is in worse shape than Ron, and she's also protecting him".
"Why's he in worse shape than Ronald?"
Anne didn't initially buy Kim's paranoia. Everyone wasn't against them. She started to feel like Dr. Director may be playing them. She wondered, could her daughter be right about all this. She'd claimed, Dr. Director manipulated them on numerous occasions in the past.
Anne teeters on the brink of losing her temper, "Weren't you listening earlier, Director? Aconasema discovered a neuro-compliance chip buried in Fury's head, and tried to make me remove it. Fail or he dies, and she'd kill my family".
Dr. Director senses Anne's distraction. She seizes this opportunity sneaking back an earlier question, seeking clarity. What Anne tell the truth? Or was she part of this ruse? "Did you remove Fury's chip, Anne?"
"No, I didn't," she deadpans.
"Couldn't or wouldn't?"
"I couldn't," Anne didn't hesitate.
"Implying, you would've removed that chip if you could've".
"You damn right I would have," she replies without regret. "I'm a doctor, devoted to helping people. No one deserves a chip in his/her head. Who knows what that thing could force him into doing?"
"No lip, Kimmie," Anne silences her rambunctious daughter.
"Where's she now?"
"Not that you could really stop her, Director," Anne rubs her the wrong way. "She and her daughter have gone to take out a Turkish branch of the League of Assassins".
"What!?" Wolverine only gets madder glaring harder at Dr. Director.
"Aconasema believes the league's backing Hydra".
"Enough," a nearby guard shouts wrapping their cages. "You're acquainted. Now silence is all we wish to hear".
"You can't..."
They'd warned the unruly prisoner. She simply wouldn't listen. Two guards target her firing their electric stunners. Dr. Director convulses violently, screaming in hellish agony, as thousands of volts of electricity course through her flesh. The torment lasts a few seconds, but leaves its marks. Dr. Director lay unconscious, still convulsing on the floor.
No one else showed any pity.
Big mistake. Strucker's people shot Kimiko, Kim's daughter, Wolverine's granddaughter. Now, both mutants are pissed and wanting revenge. Kim sets her clone free then puts her plan into motion. Can she wrangle Hydra's forces, while avoiding S.H.I.E.L.D. and Global Justice's assassins, and still keep the world and her family safe, preventing a war between humans and mutants? Only time will tell.
