It's been a while since I posted so here we go again.
I want to thank everyone who has read, faved, followed, alerted and or reviewed this little tale and speaking about reviews this is where I get to answer some of them so here we go: CB73, yes lil 'Eric' is entitled and yes some people called him out. There is not much use for upper crusties in the US. Stevie, Ernie and Wilmington have egos which might come to bit them. Yes, Kimmie wants that cake in all ways, but doesn't realize this puts other people off. Monique is already having a CTJ moment; bumbum8857, hey thanks dude; Bobtrumpet, better prognosis today with the surgeon, the cancer has not spread, and I am going into chemo soon.
I also want to thank CajunBear73 and Jimmy1201 for their help and yes I know I can be a handful.
Anyway, let's get this one the road,

The Hunter: Book Two
Chapter 57
Inflight on secret black Yamanouchi jet as it was climbing to its assigned altitude:
The blond teen checked over the sleeping baby as he asked Yori lowly, "Now what exactly are we facing? I know you couldn't reveal everything in front of Mac…"
The raven-haired shinobi checked out her niece, then, "Yamanouchi believes Fiske is visiting or has visited a series of islands off the coast of China and since he has been involved in those heists we investigated earlier, we feel that he is involved with this as well…We have to eliminate this possibility Ron-san. We do not know if he is still there, but there will be several other Yamanouchi assets there to assist us when we land. And before you ask , we are only going to the last place he was sighted."
"Okay, call me Doctor Obvious, but I don't wanna fight a genetically enhanced monkey dude with Sis around…If I do, I won't hold back this time.", Ron chuckled as he sat down across from his sister, allowing Yori to be close to her.
"That is why there will be several more assets assisting us. Hanna should be in no danger."
Ron opened the large diaper bag and pulled out the formula bottles. The baby food was in sealed jars and did not need refrigeration. The blond teen inquired, "We're gonna keep the plane, Yori?"
"Yes, it is at our disposal for this operation, Ron-san."
"Great! I'm gonna put Sis's bottles in the fridge, when one of the crew comes by tell them that I did if I forget, would ya?"
"We have a long way to travel Ron-san, we will encounter members of the crew at some point.", Yori grinned.
"Well at least we didn't use Wade, I've been on his pilotless flights before and it kinda spooks me. Anyway, you said a small island off the coast of China, is this airplane a hover jet?"
"No, we are flying to Shanghai, from there we will take arranged transportation to the island.", Yori revealed.
"Right…"
"And tell me more about your latest problems, you mentioned being suspended from school…"
"Yeah, Yori, when I went to school this morning the assistant principal was yelling at me. So much so that the principal threatened to fire him. Then the next thing I know he's teaching my gym class. He likes this self-defense thing in there, I've had to kick his tail before."
"Learning self-defense is a good thing Ron-san."
"Yeah it is, but he tried to sucker punch me from behind and I avoided it then he wanted me to turn around and I refused. I didn't want to give him a free shot at my head considering our past conflicts. He took another swig and I kicked out his knee in response. I was kinda arrested for assault on an authority figure. I was put in cuffs and escorted out of the building in front of a bunch of people.", Ron explained.
"I see, I must say that in Japan it would be considered a training accident if what you have revealed is factual.", Yori retorted.
"Well, there is another story in the mix which complicates things a little. I was wearing a wire with the FBI on the other end. See, Barkin wants me to stay another year or two and he's trying to force me to stay past my graduation. The government guys want him to play his hand and the school board is in on it, so they voted to suspend me to right all the crap that is going on with athletics in Middleton.", Ron explained.
Yori thought for a moment, "That is dishonorable Ron-san. It is your honor to do this to make life better for your schoolmates Ron-san, will this have an effect on your college?"
"I don't know Yori, I feel like the sacrificial lamb here. I guess as long as me and Sis are together, I can work through it."
"It is hard losing your family Ron-san,", Yori responded, "but things are looking up since you have been accepted into college."
"Yeah, ya know Yori, my college test scores were all screwed up, one set of scores basically showed me to be the mental equivalent to a stalk of celery and the other scores never showed up at the house. Wade looked into that and it was like they crossed an event horizon and went into a black hole."
"I admit that is curious Ron-san…"
"See Kim was helping me study, so I know I was doing alright too…A good thing here is that CSU is going to overlook all that. All I need is my diploma, which I am not going to get this year because I've been suspended."
Yori frowned remembering what one of her instructors had told her years before, "Yes, I…Ron-san all of this happened to you this fall?"
"Well since about Thanksgiving, so yeah…"
"Once or twice is coincidence my friend, but three or four times in my experience is enemy action. When all this is over, and Yamanouchi gets its assets back from being deployed we will look into this I promise you."

Upperton:
"Sir, you should be aware that Ron Stoppable has left the country on a mission.", Wade Load informed the FBI agent who he had an agreement with to notify if Ron was traveling to a mission. The genius had kept a watch on his friend ever since he had left Snobblestone's courtroom earlier in the evening.
Special Agent Shimble asked, "Where did young Mister Stoppable go?"
"Ah Sir, according to his chip and listening in to his wire, he is going to an island off the coast of China to look for some clues about disappearing artifacts. Presently he is at forty-five thousand feet over eastern Oregon.", Wade informed the G-Man.
"Is Stoppable traveling alone Doctor Load? I do not want him to get into any trouble you understand, we are at a key moment in this investigation."
"Ah, no, Sir. He is traveling with a Japanese individual he has dealt with over the last couple of years, and his sister.", Wade explained as he hoped the concern for his friend wasn't just because of the investigation.
Agent Ribbots asked over the speaker phone, "Can we trust this man? I'd hate to have our decoy compromised after all this work."
"Girl, well, young woman,", Wade corrected, as he described Yori, "she helped train Ron and is very good in a fight. She might even be better at fighting than Kim, and her name is Yori Himitsu."
"Better than the Possible girl…I find that hard to believe Doctor Load. According to reports she is quite talented.", Ribbots commented.
"I will say that Kim is a natural and takes classes, but this Yori girl has lived this life since she was five…Trust me she is good.", Wade told whoever was listening.
"How do you know that?"
"She took down a genetically enhanced gorilla with ease. She's one of those you'd like to sign up as a close combat instructor for your agency.", Wade responded.
"We shall see. Do you know what they are looking for?", Ribbots queried.
Sighing, "Okay here is the story as I best understand it; there is this English Lord, Montgomery Fiske is his name, and he's into taking over the world by becoming some monkey god…and no I haven't been drinking or smoking anything illegal. The guy's tried to kill Ron at least four times for a theft Ron supposedly committed on his property. However, Lord Fiske had stolen the artifacts himself so I can see where he would be a little antsy about someone checking on them, in hindsight. He, also, has these monkeys who he has trained as ninjas and they do most of the dirty work for him. I would say that Fiske is trying something new and supposedly collecting parchments for some scheme. Yori along with Ron are out to thwart him somehow."
"Enough! This is a prank, Kid! How can you believe any of this?", Agent Ribbots accused.
Wade countered, "You might wanna look up Team Possible mission logs…Sirs. Just get an internet connection and log into the site. When I verify that it's you, then you can take a look at the official files, not the ones we keep for the casual fan…But…I will scan your connection to make sure it's a secure one before I release any sensitive data to you. People try to hack the site all the time and I have to keep a lookout for that, you understand."
"Very well. Expect us to contact you via secure connection within the hour."
"Yes Sir, now Kim wanted me to notify her when Ron goes on a mission without her and that is what I am going to do next. I will wait for your attempt to log in.", Wade then closed the connection. Then he decided, 'Why not spread the good news around a little so I'm not the only one having an ulcer?'
Wade frowned as he punched in the landline number for his boss' phone line. A somewhat groggy voice answered, "Yes, this is James Possible."
XXX
The Possible home:
"Sorry to wake you Doctor Possible, but Kim wanted to know when and if Ron got called out on another mission.", Wade informed the rocket scientist.
"I take it he has been?"
"Yes Sir."
"Is there anything Kimmie can do at this moment?"
"No Sir."
"Then there is no good reason to wake her, she went right to bed after she came home from being out with Monique and Eric. I will tell her in the morning and then she can make contact with you when you know more."
The young genius responded, "Yes Sir, I am just calling because she wanted to know. She was a little aggravated at Ron being in court for striking Mister Barkin after he had taken a swing a swing at him."
"He did? What happened Wade?"
"I monitor the team members you understand…"
"Yes, and you have my and Anne's approval. It is for safety, not as an invasion of personal space."
"Yes Sir, I monitored the sounds of Mister Barkin trying to strike Ron in class through the wire he is wearing for the FBI. When Mister Barkin tried a second time, Ron kicked his knee out and sent him to the hospital. Ron was charged with assault and was released on his own when he stood up before Judge Snobblestone later in the day. Later when Ron was at work, he then was met by a Japanese citizen about investigating a theft and he left with her. Oh, Ron has been suspended from school…it looks like until the end of the year."
James Possible knew that sometimes the kids get called out on missions at all hours, "Darn, he didn't need that…Is this going to affect his scholarship?"
"Uh Sir, that is up in the air at the moment. The school seems supportive, but as for now, I do not know for sure."
"Is Ronald safe and is the baby alright."
"Yes Sir, it seems just to be an information gathering mission like the last one. Ron's sister is with him. I heard through the wire that there will be security provided by the Yamanouchi School."
"The exchange school has people who provide security? I didn't know that Wade, I know Ronald studied poetry and such."
"Uh yes Sir, I think it is a curriculum in another part of the school.", Wade responded as he didn't want to lie outright.
"Do you know where they are headed Wade?"
"Yes Sir, they are flying into China, but I do not know the final destination at this point."
"Very well, good night Wade and thank you for calling. Maybe this heads up will keep Kimmie from freaking out when I tell her in the morning.", James Possible disconnected and mentally left himself a note to tell his red haired daughter over breakfast about her best friend being called out of country, considering she was in a frustrated mood when she got home earlier in the evening.
After the rocket scientist ended the call, Wade listened in on Ron for a while. Getting bored with that he began looking at the security recordings of the Barkin/Stoppable incident from the previous day. The genius winced at the first swing by the vice principal of Middleton High as it barely grazed the left ear of his friend.
Wade Load, over the summer and fall, had watched his friend and team turn into a BAMF, who had developed a caustic attitude when he was pushed around and had the ability to hit back very hard to the point of being lethal. There were also times Ron Stoppable simply lashed out. He had seen the blonde teen extract retribution on some college athletes who had attacked his other teammate and so the genius knew that, although the former Middleton High mascot had distanced himself from the heroine, he was still protective of her. Even more, he was protective of his adopted sister.
Wade Load knew that Ron remained friendly but being abandoned, and before that, being slapped, had gotten the blond teen's attention and not in a good way. The former mascot had gotten the heroine's attention with his performance at some of the football games and the boxing match before Christmas, and maybe had knocked some sense into her.

Drakken's lair:
"What are you watching on the computer screen, Shego?"
"Not sure, but it seems like Barkin got smacked around by Stoppable.", the former heroine responded.
"Stoppable? Who are you…"
"The buffoon, blue boy.", Shego clarified.
"Not sure, but it looks like Stoppable popped him in class and put him in the hospital.", she informed her boss. Then continuing, "The police took Stoppable out of the school in cuffs and booked him. I think getting picked on all the time made him snap."
"But taking on a teacher, Shego?"
"I'm telling you Doc, Stoppable is dangerous. We knew about the kid's improvements since last summer when I tried to kill him and failed. It's no fluke, someone has been working with him since at least that long. And there is something else we need to discuss…"
Doctor 'D' rolled his eyes, "Now what? I am not ready to send you on another vacation…"
"Possible is still allergic to her partner. At some point I think we need to 'cure' her before an asteroid hits the planet or something."
Sighing, "Maybe you are right Shego, I will begin working on the antidote."
"I thought you had one…"
"Meh, I tested it. Right now, I am not sure it will work, but the allergy symptoms that Jim's daughter has to the buffoon will not last much longer and by now they must have started to lessen. I will speak with DNAmy about it since this was a collaborative effort"
"How were you able to put a time limit on it, Doc?"
"I didn't, I just I tried to make it permanent, but six or eight months was all I was able to get on the computer simulations I ran. The chemicals simply began to deteriorate after about five months. I wanted something to last a lot longer, but it was the best I was able to come up with. I suppose I need to work on it sometime."
"Doc, you did pretty good with it from what I saw when I was there teaching. The Princess and the buffoon are now split apart like we and your buddies always wanted. The problem we are facing is do we really want them apart?"
The blue, almost-genius cocked his head to one side for a moment, then said, "Ah, the buffoon. See, I can remember…"
The mint skinned villainess rolled her eyes, "Yeah the buffoon, the idiot kid who made you remember his name last spring."
"Meh, where was I…I am working on a couple of ideas Shego, but I haven't gotten far as yet. I suppose I should work on that too. Amy Hall did most of the work on the allergy part and did all of it on the memory part as well. Mostly what I did was to have the device to spread the chemical for her amnesia. I guess I could see if she has something that could help at least with the amnesia. Maybe she can help speed up the allergic reaction too. Working together it might only take a couple months."
"Ya know Doc, that might be a good idea. I'd hate to step up and save the world because Kimmie wasn't able to do with her new boyfriend who appears to be as worthless as tits on a boar.", the former member of Team Go snarked.
"Yes, yes…uh doesn't he look just like Syntho-901?", the villain inquired as he fiddled with a gadget then put it away and turned on a backup computer.
"Close enough to be brothers, Blue Boy."
Drewbie opened up a file and put a password into it and began to scroll down. Finally, he came to a number and pushed on the icon.
Moments later:
A Spanish voice asked, "Mister Lipsky?"
"The same Mister Senor, how are things with you?"
"We are quiet here. A lot better than Mister Jones, for example, he is quiet permanently however."
"The word is that he threatened Kimberly Anne Possible and a strike team went and rescued her. Whoever did that was very competent. There wasn't a soul left alive on the island except for a kennel full of exotic dogs.", Doctor Drakken responded, "At least that is how I understand it. What have you heard?"
"Drew, I was informed by my sources that pressure was put on a senior official in INTERPOL by various influential people to recover their gems. Intelligence indicated that Jones was responsible for the thefts, so he asked Betty to get Miss Possible to go in and retrieve the items. Global Justice refused, citing her being a minor without her normal support to do such things until Mister Stoppable returned from an exchange trip to Japan."
Doctor Drakken rubbed his chin, "As much as I deplore Kimberly Anne Possible, her father would go insane if something happened to her and he may end up turning villain and take out his revenge on a whole continent. That man, although mild mannered, could be dangerous…and…then…his Mother…"
"What about Doctor Possible's Mother, Drakken?"
"Okay, Jim didn't tell me a lot, but his Mom was the first female to finish the Underwater Demolition Course while she was in Naval Intelligence. Immediately after he mentioned that during a kegger at a party, he shut his mouth and refused to say anything more about it. Now that I think about it, I'd have to wonder if abilities like that is genetic.", Drakken muttered, "Anyway, is Amy Hall on your island? She is the main reason I called, I wanted to speak with her."
(AN…Senor Senior, Senior, yeah, I know it's a dorky name but he is a 'canon' character in the show, has an extensive intelligence operation that would rival a number of small countries…all of this for a hobby.)
"She is out on the beach getting some sun, Drakken. I will have one of my servants go out and tell her she has a call from you. Can you wait for her to get here?"
"Of course, I have something I am working on anyway."
"Certainly, one moment."
Senior came back on, "There was some news of you hijacking a nuclear-powered train and then abandoning it in the mountains. If you don't mind me asking, what was that about?"
"The train, well Kim Possible had suffered from the amnesia drug that Doctor Hall made and Shego and I thought it would be better if she shocked herself into mission readiness. The train, as I read later, had a small radiation leak, but the engine got out of control and the sidekick had to stop it with an axe before it crashed into a town. We were acting like we were trying to drug an Army base, although the effects of the drug were made to be short acting."
"Did you succeed in getting Miss Possible 'mission ready' Drew?"
Sigh, "Yes, but now her sidekick appears to be very able to defend himself. I won't advise getting into a fight with him. He has become more capable.", Drakken told the old Spaniard.
Senior responded, "As we have backed away from the plan to destroy Miss Possible and her assistant, Junior and I have also suspended any attempts to take over the world. I would suggest you do the same, Drew."
At that point a huffing and very large woman entered the view of the screen, "Drakken, what do you need?"
"Doctor Hall, by chance have you made an antidote for that substance you gave me last year…the one designed to give amnesia to Miss Possible?"
Amy thought for a moment, "No, I have the formula for that on my computer, it will take a while to 'cure' my cuddle buddy friend though, are the effects still holding?"
"It seems so, Doctor Hall."
"I will open up the lab and begin working on the anti-allergen formula first, since it was actually less complicated than the antidote for the amnesia one. Although, it should begin to wear off. I expect it to take me no more than a week. When I get it to you then you will be responsible for applying it to Kimmie. Can you agree to do that for me?"
"Y...yes, I can do that as long as you tell me how to get it on or in her.", Drakken replied.
The rotund biologist thought for a moment, "I suspect that the drug will be either in a powder form or an aerosol one. I will have to do a little research on my end to see which is easier to deploy from our end and absorb on Kimmie's end, Drakken. I will be able to let you know in a few days on which would be the best way to deliver it."
"Do you need a ride to your lab, Amy? My assistant could fly you there."
"No Drewbie, I moved most of my equipment to the island here. I did that last fall."
"I didn't know."
"I decided that Senior and I could work together, Doctor Drakken. I will call you when I have more information on the delivery system you are going to have to build for this. Goodbye for now." Doctor Hall broke the connection.

Agent Ribbots read through the report on the 'secure' part of the Team Possible site and muttered to his fellow agent as he read through one of Kim Possible's missions from the previous fall after he had watched 'hacked' video of the same event, "This is totally insane, those kids are in the middle of conspiracies to take them apart. I am gonna download this and put it on our secure servers. I've never even seen a green alien woman with that kind of tech."
Finally, the FBI agent called Wade load again.
"Yes Sir, do you have a question? I have been monitoring the feed.", the genius inquired and stated.
"This is not a hoax, Doctor Load?"
"No Sir hold on I'll load up a training mission from last fall. This is taken off of Global Justice archives."
Again, the FBI guy asked, after a running commentary from Wade, "How bad were Stoppable's injuries? That was at least a fifty-foot fall."
"Uh, Ron Stoppable had some bruises and muscle strains, Sir.", Wade responded.
"Huh? No broken bones…"
"Sir, that happened during the fall football season. You can check the records and game films if you want, but he never missed a game, even after having his arms ripped to shreds by a dog and later walking a hundred and fifty miles in a blizzard.", Wade informed the FBI agent.
"Alright, some of that has to be bullshit, Doctor Load…"
"Sir, I am going to download some movies to your computer. I think you should take some time to go over them. I think some of Ron's durability comes from his participation with a group, of which his current companion is a member of, that Ron flourished since his joining. I can't say much and you didn't hear it from me, but be advised that there is more going on than you think there is.", Wade told the agent, "Also, there is a government group from within the military who is watching Ron with the purpose of recruiting him."
"Who are they?"
"Not sure Sir, but it is covert from what I gather, and I don't really know their name, but their CO is someone named General Cree.", the super genius informed Ribbots not letting the agent know exactly what he knew.
Sighing, "I will try to run it down, Doctor Load, it might take a few days."
"Yes Sir, I think with some of these organizations their security is pretty tight. I will speak with you later.", Wade then broke the connection mentally relaxing and also hoping he didn't give away all of his abilities with his computer system. The young African American genius did not want to get between two or more alphabet agencies if they were going to have a turf war over the blond ninja.
With a sigh of relief, the genius shutdown the connection as he thought to himself, 'Maybe with Ron's life turning to shit he may have some decent employment opportunities even if his scholarship gets pulled.'

The Ranch:
Otto's eyebrows narrowed as he handed his nephew another glass of schnapps, "You challenged a judge, Hans? In his courtroom?" The older German was a little cranky as he was lacking sleep after his trip to buy an island refuge for the team off the coast of Ireland and had not gotten his sleep pattern adjusted yet.
Sighing, "It cost me some pocket change uncle, but I was trying to put Stoppable on the spot to make him look bad.", Hans Reusch a.k.a Eric Thornbottom responded.
"Was this about the child, again?", Otto inquired, "I fail to see the significance of bringing a child into this."
"I think that path is still one to work on, Otto. NOT having the baby with him will further isolate that clown even further and cause him to lose focus for when we decide to take his life sometime this spring or summer.", Hans raised the glass to his lips to savor the taste of the liquid, "I consider it to be a public service."
"Each to their own Nephew, now as you know you have purchased a small island off the southwest coast of Ireland. The deed will be coming to Niles Botherall, who I left behind via a lawyer. He will oversee the modifications to the place. It is normal for transactions like that to take place in such a manner for the rich and famous which you are supposed to be.", Otto explained then added, "Cash works, credit is nice, but waving a certified check under their noses works wonders. I left our man there to watch the installation of updated utilities. He intends to make sure all the locks are changed and will hire people who used to work on the island as caretakers until we leave here until we arrive there."
"Otto, just out of curiosity, what is the name of our new abode?"
The older German raised his glass to his lips and took a sip, ahhh, "Horse Island, Hans, it is less than a kilometer away from the main coast of Ireland. Oh, for security I gave them another name to use for you on the deed for the property."
"What name did you use, Otto? I need to add it to my list of aliases."
"Walter Morris is the name the deed will be listed under. There are a number of buildings and a few places where we can setup security to let us know if anyone gets too close. I have also made arrangements for three boats to be purchased. A small one for going back and forth to the mainland, a fast boat to get away and a larger one to go out on the ocean. I have also made preliminary conversations into having arms brought in to make it easier to get away."
"That is good, all good villains need to have an escape plan. Now, are there any good taverns in the area?"
"Yes, there is no need to worry, Botherall and I took in the sights over the course of our stay in the area. They are just like some of the pubs we used to frequent in England for those two years. You will be able to adapt to the change and there will be red heads, just none that know sixteen styles of kung fu. You will be able to relax much better there, if we all stay discreet and don't try to repopulate the whole area."
"I feel much better about that, I think one of these days Little Miss Possible is going to take a swing at me.", Hans/Eric, and now, the newly named Walter, chuckled, "Now that we are getting closer to the end of this adventure, I think we need to call the men in and begin to plan for our orderly departure from this desert of humanity and travel to the land of busty red heads."
"I will notify them Hans, but it will probably be tomorrow before most of them can make it in for the briefing.", Otto responded just before he snapped back the rest of his drink.

Over the Pacific Ocean:
The blond-haired teen yawned as he stretched. He glanced over at his raven-haired sister who was still quite asleep.
The baby's Aunt, seated next to the tyke and was also sound asleep.
Ron thought to himself, 'They look so cute together. Yori and Hiro are gonna be great parents.'
The American teen just sat there and watched the two sleeping as he remembered how close he used to be to one Kim Possible. The pain in his chest caused our hero to quash the memories of what he used to have with the beautiful and heroic cheerleader. 'At this rate I will be in a grave at this time.'
The head of the Middleton branch of the Stoppable clan noticed a flashing light by Yori's seat. He glanced around and saw a button flashing by his. Rolling his eyes, Ron pushed, the button, (We will be landing in six and a half hours Yori-san.)
Our hero spoke barely above a whisper, (China?)
(Yes, Chosen One.), came the response. (AN…someone obviously recognized his voice.)
(Good, I need to get cleaned up and make warm up a bottle for Sis…I'll wake Yori in a few minutes.), Ron replied to whoever it was.
Ron unbuckled himself from his seat and went into the galley to warm up a bottle. He checked his watch and grunted to himself, "Three AM, this sucks. I'll let Sis sleep in a little more."
The blond teen, who for months had been masquerading as a football player, went to the 'occupied' to take care of business and then went back to his seat. Yori cracked an eye and said softly, "Go back to sleep Ron-san, we are hours away from landing."

The Possible home, Middleton:
"Yawn…Morning Daddy.", the red head greeted her rocket scientist father.
"How are you feeling Kimmie?", James Possible inquired as he plopped her plate down at her usual seat in the breakfast nook. The plate had two waffles with a smaller plate with eggs and bacon on it.
Kim opened the fridge and got out orange juice and pulled four glasses out of the cabinet, filled one of the glasses and took a sip.
Sigh, "Still a little torqued, Wade found out Ron got suspended from school. He might not be able to graduate."
"I'm sorry Kimmie. But he might have to take classes over the summer to graduate so he can go to college next fall.", James responded.
Kim sat down and cut into her waffles then put a little bit of syrup on them, "This is totally bogus Dad, Mister Barkin has been picking on Ron for years and just this one-time Ron defends himself, he has to go to jail."
"Well, another thing honey, Ron got suspended through the end of the year, he will not be back, or if he is, it will be next fall. Missus King called me up since I am as close to a parent that Ronald has right now.", James informed his highly talented daughter.
"Suspended?"
"Dad, that could ruin Ron's scholarship…"
"I'm afraid that we will hear about that in the next day or two Kimmie. If Ronald does not graduate, then his chances of scholarship being revoked are quite high."
Kim grabbed her glass of OJ with trembling hands, "That is terrible…I need to call him…"
James advised, "Don't call him on his cell phone."
"Why?"
"He's on a mission honey. He was asked to go last night."
"Dad, all missions are Team Possible missions, they have to go through me.", Kim countered.
"Maybe, but a Japanese person met Ron at the diner last night and he went with her…well he and Hanna went with her.", James corrected himself at the end.
"Her? Japanese? Yori?!", the red head spat out as if the name left a bad taste in her mouth.
"Yes honey,", James replied, "I do believe that was her name…"
"Where did Ron leave Hanna, Dad?", Kim was serious now and was contemplating babysitting the child instead of going to school. She had a pretty good idea that Steve Barkin wouldn't be in school today because he wouldn't be able to get around.
"Ronald took the baby with him, Kimmie…"
The teen red head then tapped the 'connect' button on her wrist unit.
The African American adolescent's hologram image appeared over her wrist. "Morning Kim…"
"Can it Wade! Now, where are Ron and Hanna?"
"Yamanouchi called Ron out last night and since it was going through museums or something like that, they said it was safe to take his sister along. Yamanouchi does have pretty tight security if your mission to Jones' Island was anything to go by.", Wade responded as he sipped on a mug of something.
"Why wasn't I called?"
Wade countered, "Kim, what could you do?"
"Right, not much. Sighing, "Where are they right now?"
"Forty thousand feet above the Pacific traveling just under MACH One."
Kim ordered, "Bring up the audio on Ron's chip, I wanna make sure."
"Uh sure."
"Uh Yori, you wanna keep an eye on Hanna while I heat up her morning bottle and get her grub ready", Ron's voice asked.
"It would be my honor to look after Hina-kun's daughter Ron-san."
"Huh, who is Hina?"
Yori informed her American friend, "She is Hanna's Mother, she died in a car crash. Hina was my older sister."
"Which makes you Hanna's Aunt, right?", Ron's voice queried.
"It is so, but as much as my sweet niece has bonded to you; I do not think you can ever be replaced in her heart, Ron-san."
"She at least recognizes me as her meal ticket Yori, that's one good thing."
"What are you going to do if you cannot graduate Ron-san?", Yori asked as Ron went in the galley.
