And howdy, been out of the saddle for a while. I had surgery a couple weeks ago and was down for a while and they told me that I can expect another six weeks of recovery. That's RL (real life) for ya. I have another procedure on my pancreas coming in a few weeks. Now you're up to date on me. I hope everyone is doing well.
I want to thank everyone who has read, faved, followed or reviewed TH so far. I still haven't finished chapter 98, but there will be a chapter 99 and that will be the last chapter of this book.
Since I mentioned reviews here is where I answer some questions: Gj agent, well Kim never told him she wasn't. Of course the drug that made her forget kinda took care of that too; CB73, Yamanouchi wants Kimmie protected, they don't care if she is knocking heels with their chosen one. The only part of her future that Ron has with Kim in Yamanouchi's eyes is as her protector. Hans plans with Kim/Ron are working nicely to break them up; Jimmy1201, my son who is a meteorologist has a graphing calculator, but he does most of his work on a computer. Eric has his hooks in Kim pretty deeply now. He is working on a plan to get our favorite trauma sponge kicked out of high school and Stevie Barkin is helping unwittingly.
Okay, didn't include data on STDs and I never had one myself.
Again, I want to thank my betas, CajunBear73 and Jimmy1201 for their work.
Let's get this show on the road,

The Hunter: Book Two
Chapter 52
Monday, Middleton High:
The blond teen was walking into school having gotten all the homework done that Felix left out for him and basically wasn't able to sleep before getting his sister up, fed, dressed and taken to the nursery and the hospital. It was a long night, but the former mascot made it work, 'I haveta work tonight till midnight, but I should be home by one and get sis into bed, my life is turning into goo, and I'll be glad when school is over for good.'
"Stoppable,", the vice principal bellowed as the blond teen passed him in the hallway as he was making a bee line to his locker, "my office NOW! MOVE IT YOU SLUG! Get your lazy ass in here before I give you a hundred pushups!"
The blond teen rolled his eyes as he turned into the mass of offices. Alice Magrath stood outside her office with her head cocked to the side and followed the formed mascot into Barkin's office before he appeared.
Alice and Ron were both sitting across from Steve Barkin's chair as the gruff school administrator had not showed up as yet. Upon him entering his office, the second in command at Middleton High eyes widened as he stated with a lowered tone, "Ma'am there is no reason for you to be in here…."
"Nonsense Mister Barkin, since you and Mister Stoppable have an adversarial relationship, which is obvious by the tone of your voice, I find it is in my job description to make sure that there are no threats made or punches thrown then explaining to the school board why this got out of hand. I do NOT want to end up in court you understand trying to defend you or cover my own ass when you go off the deep end causing young Mister Stoppable any more trauma than he has already been through due to your actions. The school board has made that perfectly clear to me over the course of my last few discussions with them that they are at their wits end with you. Just between you, me and Mister Stoppable it would not cause me any aggravation if they fired you five minutes from now." Alice informed Stevie.
The adament flat-topped school administrator informed them, "I have reviewed this clown's attendance Ma'am, unless Stoppable makes up on his school attendance we will not be able to graduate him. There are a minimum number of hours he is supposed to be on school property as per the regulations set forth by the school board. I am totally within my responsibilities to make sure this clown does not slack off…."
Ron pointed out, "Last fall you had me running stairs for hours into the night many days during the week, that ought to count for something….I mean I spent sometimes an extra four hours running the bleachers as a kind of punishment like detention hall….(Ron paused)…then there is the fact that you had us here on the weekends including a few times on Sunday. If you remember, I am Jewish, and Saturday is our sabbath. If we didn't have games, then why were we forced to be here when we could be working or enjoying family time or studying like most of the people here?"
Alice cocked her head and looked at Ron, "Can you verify these claims Mister Stoppable?"
Ron sat back in the chair and crossed his legs, "Ma'am, Kim's tech guy keeps those kinds of records on file on his servers just as he does our conversations with other people, I mean it's simple addition. It's also a police thing ya know. They drive by the school eight times a day during the weekends, we can call and check if you like. Anywho, different agencies want to know what we have been doing in case they have to send in a rescue team if me or Kim get in trouble. I thought the school was notified of that in our freshman year," the blond teen responded, "Should I call Wade Load and my lawyer. I have Wade on speed dial. He should be able to clear up any confusion. Also, if I remember correctly, I don't have to get my parents' permission to be out of school because I have no parents anymore. I will contend through my lawyer, if I have to, that I all I have to do is maintain my schoolwork and grades. Mister Barkin are you willing to go to court with me? Anyway, you guys have security tapes from what Wade told me, though by now they have been backed up and put on a server somewhere…."
The large wannabe hero growled, "If you try this Stoppable, I will kick…."
"Mister Barkin, you should consider very wisely your next few words. If you utter what I think you spout off you will be escorted out of this school by the Middleton Police department." Alice Magrath warned as she sat calmly, "The school board is angry with you as it is, and I have reviewed some of the combat that you and Mister Stoppable have engaged each other in gym class. I do not consider that to be exercise, I consider that to be fighting. Teenagers talk you know, and I and the school board have witnessed those recordings. Evidence is piling up on you like the contents of a landfill. If you were going to do something like that in class, you should have gotten permission from the school board and then handed out slips to the children to have them filled out by their parents. That was very clumsy of you. Just so you understand letters were sent out to the students' families yesterday."
"Yes, Ma'am I understand Ma'am, I will have those permission slips printed out so that your concerns are taken care of. Stoppable, I want you to know that you at this point do not qualify for a scholarship in hopscotch let alone football and I will contact Colorado State University to advise them to rescind the offer," Barkin promised.
"Still not gonna stay another year at Middleton High Mister Barkin since I am moving anyway whether CSU takes the schollie away or not. Anyway, qualifying for a scholarship to CSU depends on them, doesn't it?", Ron chided the school administrator.
"You can stay in high school until you are nineteen…."
"Convenient isn't it, you want me to play another year, just like you wanted Flagg to stay more years. This isn't professional football in high school you know. Anyway, next week I have an interview with Nick Gonzo that he is going to air in the fall," Ron decided to let this little crumb out of the bag.
"Gonzo? Who are you to talk to him?", Barkin grit out.
"I don't know 'cept he wants to interview me for some reason, I guess it might slip out that I am receiving threats from the school. Anyway, I guess some of my game footage made it on the internet and he wants to talk with me about it and Colorado State, he might even ask about football here at Middleton High. I might, accidently, let something slip ya know cause I am dumb."
"Permission denied Stoppable,", Steve Barkin slapped his meaty palms on the desk, "you are not authorized to give out any secrets about how football is played at Middleton High, that is classified information. Our enemies could find that information valuable and use it to defeat us in the upcoming campaign."
Ron laughed, "Something tells me I am going to defy your suggestion Mister Barkin, to keep me off camera you are going to have to toss me in the can and then that word will get to Mister Gonzo, anyway I have friends in the courts and on the police force and I know Gonzo's nephew. Anyway, are YOU able to classify data? I highly doubt it. I've been around that kind of stuff, and you sure don't look like you have any stars on your shoulders to tell me what to do." The blond teen now winked and smirked at the same time.
Barkin tried another tact, "Who is this cretin who is related to Nick Gonzo, Stoppable? I wanna know who put you in contact with him. I will make his life miserable."
The former Middleton High mascot chuckled, "Nope, not telling. You'll find out…the hard way, oh he already knows about you, I kinda mentioned your name to him and the problems I've been having. One thing I can say is that this person lives within two hundred miles of here. The only way you are gonna keep me off camera is to slap me in jail and just between you and me…I don't think you have the balls. Mister Gonzo is gonna find out what goes on here in Middleton, Colorado and that there are guys that play here for extra years…. but he probably knows all this since this person is an athlete."
Barkin got to his feet ignoring Alice Magrath's wide eyes and growled, "Your SISTER is at stake…."
Ron finished for the school administrator to make sure he understood as he rose to his feet with his fists balled up, "Nothing had better happen to Hanna Stoppable, Barkin, or you are gonna find out what kind of prick I really am. Kim is a nice person. I. Am. Not. Remember back a couple years when I was a real pain in the ass…. Well, it can happen again. Rufus isn't around to stop me anymore and I don't listen to Possible. What you started to say, I consider a threat and right now after Kim's boyfriend dropped my baby sister, I am more than a little concerned when someone acts like she might get hurt. Ya know, come to think of it, Mac, over at the Jar Head Diner, likes Hanna. He thinks of her as his grandkid. I'd hate to think there was a misunderstanding ya know. I heard him take out that robber a while back, but then I ended the threat of the other two and guess what?"
"What is that punk?", Barkin sneered.
"I don't lose sleep over it," Ron hinted, "I think I'm close to that special forces attitude that goes around in the military. A police agency I work with sometimes, told me, that some of them are looking at me to…., ya know to give me meaningful employment. Well Kim and me, but she's a natural and that's a given ya know…, come to think of it….I don't think I need a high school diploma to do that kind of work, all that's required is an attitude which I have developed mostly because of you. All I have to do is make sure that Sis is cared for, but I just found out lately Hanna has relatives alive and for a couple of weeks over the summer I think I am going to look them up to show them how much she's grown."
Missus Magrath also stood, "Ronald, it is nice that you found some of your sister's relatives, but on the other hand it is not good to threaten faculty in this school no matter how much some of them annoy you. And Mister Barkin, make sure the school district's lawyer meets with you sometime today. I am going back to my office and notify the school board of what just happened. You might want to empty your desk out. They are already upset with you, and you have given them cause for removing you from this building permanently."
"Ma'am, I apologize for my inappropriate comments, but I must point out that this loser…."
"ENOUGH, this meeting is over Mister Barkin. Ronald, please come into my office. Mister Barkin will be busy preparing his defense on several counts with the school board or at least he'd better be if he wants to keep his position at this institution. I will also have one of the secretaries bring in some boxes for Mister Barkin so that he can package his effects so that he can easily carry them out to his car if the school board decides to suspend him without pay."
The flat-topped prick of a vice principal's eyes opened wide as he understood now where he stood with the authorities who were his supervisors.
"Yes Ma'am, I have the whole thing recorded through Wade. I have to do that for reasons I mentioned earlier," the former Middleton Mad Dog responded as he rose from his chair. The wide-eyed junior member of Team Possible replied although he didn't mention that everything that was said around him was recorded by a certain government agency.
The care giver for one Hanna Stoppable followed the high school principal into her office. She sat down in her chair behind her desk and motioned for Ron to do the same, then asked "I know you and Mister Barkin have trouble getting along Ronald, but you must make an effort to try as long as you are a student here. Anyway, what was that all about?"
Ron looked perplexed.
The principal added, "The threat."
Ron asked as he rose from his seat and closed the door, "Which one, I made several."
"On Mister Barkin's person."
"Oh, for a while when I was a sophomore, I was a world class villain. I even made a weather machine, but all I really cared about was cornering the world's supply of nacos. I also snuffed out two robbers at the diner a few weeks ago, one of them made the mistake of pointing a gun at my sister. It was not an empty threat. Someone hurts her, I hurt them. Plain and simple. I've done other things I'd rather not talk about, because you do not wanna be confined in a government facility for the next twenty years. Anyway, I loved that time as Zorpox."
"Zorpox?"
"That was the identity I assumed when the accident happened which turned me evil," Ron explained.
The principal frowned upon hearing this as she also decided to check on the teen's story herself, "I understand about not revealing government secrets, but the other threat about revealing something?", she queried the blond teen as she lowered her voice.
"That? Well, have you ever noticed that Steven Barkin tries to hide stuff all the time while leaning on the kids to get them to either comply or to get them to do his bidding?", Ron inquired as his voice lowered to a whisper.
"Yes, someone from law enforcement has spoken with me while I was in Denver over a week ago. I had traveled there to see my sister. He met me in a park after contacting me. My sister was sitting away from us. I cannot reveal what he said…."
"It was a federal agency, and he had a badge?", Ron inquired with his still lowered voice.
"Yes."
Ron muttered lowly as he leaned forward so that only she could hear, "Sounds like the conversations I have been having with a similar group. Something is going on which I am not at liberty to talk about. But that's not saying much since I am a mushroom."
"A mushroom?"
Ron chuckled lowly, they keep me in the dark and feed me bull…. uh stuff."
With a small smile Alice Magrath shook her head and asked, "I heard your sister hurt herself. Is she going to be alright Ronald?"
"Yeah, right as rain," Ron grinned, "Luckily it happened with witnesses watching and since one of the witnesses was the doctor Hanna was supposed to see…. well, it made writing the reports out a lot easier." The 'never be normal' guy looked around, "I heard the guys who took care of your questions also took care of this. And CSU was one of the first contacted. I don't know what set this off, but it is huge. I know I don't wanna get caught in the middle of this upcoming shit storm that is about to descend on this berg. And I highly advise that you dot all your eyes and cross all your Tees."
"Ronald does that mean your scholarship is fake?", Alice inquired.
"I don't know Ma'am, right now I'm treating it like it is real, but I won't be surprised if the college thing doesn't pan out. My original plans are still in effect, and I can work with either path happening."
"What are those plans if you do not mind me asking? I have heard rumors, but it is better to hear it from the horse's mouth so to speak."
"I have a villa like place in Lowerton that basically has been paid for with Mom and Dad's insurance money, my insurance agent who is a friend of the family bought it and will transfer it to my name when I turn twenty-one. I do have a job outside of Middleton, and it is an easy commute from the villa to the diner. I have it planned out that my wages will cover everything with a little left over so Hanna doesn't feel deprived…I want her to be happy and will do everything in my power to ensure that takes place."
"I have heard about you being sued for your home…I am not happy about that."
"Neither am I, which is why I do not want Eric whatever his last name is nosing around in my business OR my sister. He's already screwed my life up and I don't want him doing the same with Hanna's. He was babysitting Sis at Kim's house and dropped her while I was at Tank Woodson's funeral…. I'm still upset about it considering I didn't even want him around Hanna."
"I can see your point of view. Now does working as a cook truly make you happy Ronald?", Alice inquired as she leaned forward over her desk and clasped her hands.
Ron sat back in his chair to show he was relaxed, "Welllll, I'd rather be a lady's man…it's got all sort of perks ya know, but for right now I am content with my lot in life. My life of adventure is coming to an end, and I am gonna be soooo boring it won't be funny. I'm gonna be known as Hanna's older brother who is going to give guys trying to date her heart attacks. So, I am going from 'never be normal' to what a boring guy that no one will have anything to do with."
"That is more than a few years down the road Ronald," Missus Magrath advised.
"Yeah maybe, but we'll be into a routine by then. I figure she can start dating at about forty-five."
"Spoken like an overprotective older brother Ronald."
Sigh, "I hope it ages well Ma'am. My primary goal is for her to grow up and get a good education then find someone and be happy."
"And you?"
"Ma'am, it is what it is," Ron responded.
"And your relationship with Miss Possible?"
"Not really a relationship as in romantic one with her or anyone else for the reasons I already mentioned. She has Eric the limey (Ron again dissed the 'English' teen) and I have me and Sis. It worked out alright for me although people on the outside looking in see me as flawed. I have heard there are other girls in the area interested and…. well, I'm just not, so that lady's man comment from before is pretty ludicrous. Enough so that I have to admit it."
"I have heard through the grapevine that there are other young ladies interested in you if you swing that way…."
"Ma'am, while having girls interested in me sorta strokes my ego…. well, I'm not interested in anyone at this point in my life," the blond teen responded.
"So, you're waiting for a college girl?"
Ron shook his head, "As I have said before, I am devoting my life to my sister. Everything I do from this point forward is to make sure that she has something she can look back on with no doubt in her mind that I supported her. You see Mom and Dad really didn't spend a lot of time raising me, they loved me, but I don't think they knew how to raise a child. Since I haveta take that parenting class from Barkin I should ace it since I have had months of experience being the primary care giver to Hanna."
"Mister Barkin may not be the instructor in that class Ronald…."
"Yes. I. Will," they both heard a rough growl.
Ron rolled his eyes as if he never heard the gruff comment, "Ma'am it doesn't matter, I can carry sis and that five-pound sack of flour at the same time while annoying the chowderhead next door. If I can walk across the damned state in a freaking blizzard and then play in the championship football game a few days later with torn up feet, get a concussion and keep playing, I figure that I can ace that class that Barkin is teaching while standing on my ear," Ron snorted, "BUT since my hero and mentor in the next room is teaching that class and the way he looks at everything I do he will find something wrong with everything I do so I don't expect to pass since there is one standard for Middleton High and another standard for me. Therefore, I just don't care, I hope my attitude changes in college. The jerk in question can bite my crap splattered ass."
Alice Magrath was a little taken back by the blond teen's invective. "Would you like some coffee, Ronald?"
"Please Ma'am…. hot and black, Mac sorta changed how I drink the stuff."

In the next office:
The flat-topped school administrator growled lowly as he heard himself being disparaged by Kim Possible's sidekick because he had his ear up against the wall, "I outta gut him like a fish…like they tried to do to me in boot after I ratted those guys out for getting extra helpings of dessert from the chow hall."
(AN…. please notice that Steve Barkin had no idea that the blond teen he had been bullying around used a mystical sword that could change shapes and the training to use it…if he had known this the school administrator would have wanted Ron Stoppable as far away from him as possible.)
The wannabe hero Jar Head winced as he remembered the 'blanket party' the following evening in retaliation for him being a snitch. It was one of three he endured during his time in the Corps.
(AN…. a 'blanket party' is a way that corporal justice is, unfortunately, meted out in the military to unsavory characters who either break the rules or trust between comrades. While not condoned, sadly it is a fact of life. We had a guy in basic who marched up and down the aisles of the barracks after lights out shouting out cadence while doing so. Some of the guys after a few weeks got this fella to knock it off so they could get some sleep. To accomplish this, bruises had to be delivered to this person to get his attention that many in the barracks were not happy with his all-night excursions through the barracks. Of course, this was back during the draft, and I am sure he was just trying to get out under a 'section eight'. There was another one….he did not care to wash himself and after a few weeks had a scent to him. He was convinced to take a shower.)

At Kim Possible's locker:
Monique Jenkins walked up to her auburn-haired girlfriend and asked, "Did skinny boy get in last night?"
"Yeah Moni, he made it back about three this morning and was supposed to be in school today according to Wade," Kim responded as she removed the school materials, she needed for her morning classes.
"Has Ron told you anything about where he went over the weekend GF?"
"We really haven't spoken 'Nique. I hope that sometime today that we will talk over the Kimmunicator, I don't want him to have to seal up that suit just for me. I know that Yori took him and Hanna somewhere."
"Yori, you mean that Asian girl that came looking for him over a year ago? The cute Asian gal?"
Kim responded, "Yeah, that's the one."
"And the one who kissed him?"
The red head cringed inadvertently, "Yeah, but it was on the cheek. It's not like they were trying to swallow each other's tongues or went looking for a bed or anything."
'Or not like you and Stoppable were trying to do to each other last summer and fall.', Miss Jenkins thought to herself, "Well GF maybe Ron has finally found someone to make him happy. Maybe after graduation she might go to school with him since he seems adamant not to need any local female companionship. You did say she was smart…," Monique kept thinking and had what she thought was an epiphany, "So, this Yori girl likes Ron?"
"Yeah, she does," Kim admitted.
"And the kid is what fourteen months old now?", 'Nique asked.
"Yeah, about I would say. No older than a year and a half."
"Soooo, did Ron ever see this Asian girl two years ago?", Moni queried her friend.
"I don't know Monique. What are you trying to say?"
"What if she and he got together and the kid is theirs? It would make sense that the Stoppables adopted her."
"Moni are you serious?", a now serious Kim Possible asked.
"Yeah, I am GF, where was lil Ronnie a year before the Junior Prom? I'm asking because of the time frame on how old the child is."
"Well…. He didn't help with the prom that year and neither he nor I could go because we weren't upper classmen. I mean I helped plan and did a lot of the work," Kim responded after she thought for a moment, "Anyway, Ron ended up going to Paris with his 'rents…I had to rat sit Rufus. He had ate something that had this computer chip in it and a couple of bad guys wanted to get it from Rufus."
"Rufus ate a computer chip?", Monique snorted.
"He thought it was a nacho chip, I mean I had a heck of a time keeping that hungry mole rat away from Shego and Drakken and we almost ran into Ron and his Mom and Dad in Paris, but we never did. I didn't want Ron to know that we were in Paris too, it might have broken my trust with him. Anyway, that was about the only time I was away from Ron except for when he went to Japan on that exchange, or I went to cheer camps or up to visit Uncle Slim and Joss. Well, we went down to Florida without Ron once too," the red head explained.
Monique set all the extra info aside and focused on what she wanted, "And Ron met this Yori over there? In Japan I mean, I know he met her at least twice."
"Yeah, I guess. I mean I've met her too like I said. She was very nice to me, but I could tell there is something between them although I am not sure what it is."
"Well GF, I remember her, and she is one exotic girl…she's the kind of thing a hormonal teen might go for," the fashionista pointed out, "You know something he can't get around here."
"Well, I don't think Yori would be good for Ron…"
"Maybe, and that girl from Lowerton? And that MacTavish cheerleader girl?", 'Nique queried, "You told me about her last fall after the Mountain Side game."
"I don't think they are Ron's type Monique," Kim answered.
"So, you get to be happy while little Ronnie doesn't? Sounds kinda hypocritical GF. You might wanna consider letting him make his own decisions about how he's gonna screw up his life. He's already had it change on him." Monique offered sound advice from her perspective.
"I'm trying to look out for Ron's best interest, anyway you've bagged on Ron most of the winter…. what gives Monique?"
"Like I mentioned before GF that coach from CSU called me out on how I looked at things, so I kinda had an epiphany about Ron Stoppable after I thought about it."
"So, you're a Ron fan now?", Kim almost jested.
"Not so much a fan, but I'm at a live and let live stage with him. If he gets a girlfriend and she knows what she's in for with the baby I'm all in for it even if it's this 'Yori' girl," Monique Jenkins explained, "Now I'm not saying that Hanna Stoppable is Ron's and her child, but if the tyke is that's their business. There have been plenty of kids born out of wed lock who have grown up normal GF."
"Moni, I don't think Hanna is Ron's kid, she doesn't have any of his features, but if she is, I can agree that it is his and the mother's business and no one else's," Kim agreed.
Monique pointed out, "Whether the kid is or isn't, is for Ron and whoever's concern. Everyone else needs to butt out Kim."
"Butt out of what Kimberly?", Eric asked as he suddenly appeared.
"Oh honey, Moni had an idea that Hanna Stoppable might be Ron and some Asian girl's baby," Kim explained as she ignored the fashion maven's not-so-subtle gestures not to say anything.
'Eric' began to chuckle, "I find that to be absurd Kimberly. I can see where no attractive and intelligent female would be interested in him as he is a failure and has been his whole life."
Monique pointed out to the suave and uppity 'teen', "Opinions are like assholes boy, everyone has one although some are larger than others. Colorado State seems to like Stoppable well enough to give him a free education in exchange for running around while carrying a leather covered bladder that is filled with air. And since they have years more experience the grading talents of young men, I'd have to give them the edge over your opinion Eric."
"Be that as it may, I trust my own observations Miss Jenkins in this matter. My family for centuries has accrued considerable assets by making critical business decisions. I may also suggest to my parents to donate money to this school and make the donation contingent on the clown's free ride being removed," 'Eric' crossed his arms and tried to appear threatening, "I see no point on wasting good money on a failure."
The red head hissed, "That would be evil Eric."
The African American female's eyes narrowed as she placed one hand on her hip, "It sounds like you are about ten minutes too late Eric and a dollar short of cash to pull that off. Anyway, your family has never lost money on a bet then hotshot?"
"Realistically, I admit the family has over time, but usually not. We are very wealthy you understand and in gaining that wealth we have had to take risks. And being wealthy lets everyone know what the actual score really is," the 'English teen' responded in an attempt to outmaneuver the fashionista as she could out logic him and pin him in a debate corner within seven moves.
Kim made to say something more when the warning bell for home room sounded. At the moment the world saving heroine was not happy with her squeeze.

Josh Mankey was walking down the hallway towards homeroom when he suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. Next to him Tara King, cheerleader and Josh's girlfriend, stopped too. She asked, "What is it boyfriend?"
Josh squinted for a moment then gasped, "Milk shake and fries…. together in a large glass. When we go home tonight let's get some ice cream and fries. I wanna try this out. Ron Stoppable may not be the only culinary wonder at Middleton High."
"Fries inside milk shakes? What kind of ice cream?", the baffled platinum blonde inquired.
"Let's start with vanilla and chocolate, maybe some strawberry too….just to see if it's my imagination or I'm going crazy…..oh chocolate or chocolate chips," the artist didn't actually realize that he was on the verge of starting a new ice cream trend that would make him and his girlfriend a whole lot of claude.
{Jimmy: Can't say that I've tried it. But I like salted caramel in ice cream, so maybe salted fried potato sticks in ice cream could be tasty…"}

Suriel chuckled as he returned from his 'white ox' form and into Inturo Mekaski as Metatron frowned. The Scribe of G_d asked, "Was that necessary my friend?"
The archangel, who interacted most with humans over the years, observed, "I was getting bored, and the artist is already susceptible to our suggestions. Remember the painting?"
"Yes, I was there with you, I agree he is quite pliable as a vessel to send messages to inspire others around him, they will need him after our client disappears and the female withdraws into herself."
"Unfortunately, true, the female will snap emotionally for a time until she finds new purpose for her current existence. I wish this was not so, but the evil one will have his small victory before the tables are turned and the righteous prevail."
"Do you have more insight my friend?"
Suriel smiled tightly, "It has not been revealed to me as yet my brother."

Kim and Monique entered their homeroom and noticed that Mister Barkin wasn't waiting for the class to begin with his arms crossed (As normal). Instead, Miss Stacy Waddle was standing in front of the blackboard.
The heroine frowned, "Ma'am, Mister Barkin is usually our homeroom teacher is he out today?"
"Mister Barkin is indisposed at the moment Miss Possible although you may see him around later."
"I hope he is not sick," Tara added as she thought that someone being executed should not be injured or sick.
The replacement teacher just smiled as she hoped the administrator who was holding her back from getting the vote by the school board for her tenure would be sacked and that the harassment she had been receiving would end soon.
