firefist02: Your welcome.
RonaldM40196867: Yes he is. Thanks, and lol you too. Basically the MCU for one and Ive seen people make their own Ron Stoppable as Iron Man so I thought why not expand the universe on it with other cartoon heroes.
simm36: Sí lo hará, y me alegro de que lo estés disfrutando.
Grannster10: That chapter and the second chapter explained why Kim cheated.
Sakra95: Lol, I am.
Warning: I do not own the amazing show Kim Possible, Iron Man, or other Marvel references. Fictional events that I make are mine.
A plane began landing on a runway, soon revealed to be at an army base. Monique and a little girl beside her were there waiting for the billionaire, along with Shego and the limo. The hatch to the back of the plane slowly opened to reveal Wade standing there with Ron sitting beside him in a wheelchair, before Wade helped him stand up. Monique bit her lip as she was anxious to see Ron again. The billionaire in question looked far better than he had in the previous scene: his hair combed and beard gone, his right arm in a sling.
"Watch it, coming up here." Wade warned his friend as they reached the bottom of the ramp.
A pair of paramedics came up with a stretcher, much to Ron's annoyance. "Are you kidding me with this? Get rid of them." He said, Wade, holding his hand out to silently tell the medics they weren't needed.
The little girl, Monique, and Shego smiled as Ron approached them, only two cuts visible on his face. Unfortunately, the little girl couldn't hold it anymore. "RON!" She yelled out in joy as gave him a big hug.
"Hey, Hana." He greeted her with a smile as he hugs his sister back.
"I thought you were dead." Hana said with tears in her eyes.
"Yeah, that's not going to happen anytime soon." Ron told her as he ruffled her hair. He then turns to Kim, which he was disappointed to see.
"Ron," Kim was the first to speak in a wavering voice, as the others were still momentarily stunned with amazement. "You're alive…" She took a tentative step forward, wanting to hold him to reassure herself that he was real.
"We'll talk later, Kim," Ron curtly nodded at her as he brushed past her.
He then turns to Shego. "And how about you?" Ron asks as he turns towards Shego. "You miss me?"
"Nah, it has been nice to get some actual peace and quiet." Shego quips.
"Yeah, too bad it's over." Ron tells her with a smile.
"But we did miss you, though." Shego said after a moment of silence, which caused Ron to smile at that.
Lastly he turns towards Monique. "Your eyes are red. A few tears for your long-lost boss?" Ron asked with a smile towards Monique.
"Tears of joy. I hate job hunting." Monique quips back smiling.
"Yeah, vacation's over." Ron quips with a smirk.
"Where's Felix?" Ron asks Wade.
Wade just sighs. "Sorry, work has him overseas and couldn't get back in time." He explains which Ron nodded as he understood.
"You should be more sensitive. Some other people actually care about your well being." Monique spoke as Kim walks away feels bad for what she has done, not that Ron would notice.
"Aww… Wade's fine," Ron shook his head. "From the stock reports I read, he took good care of the company while I was gone."
"I was meaning Kim," Monique replied, gritting her teeth as she wondered whether her boss was intentionally trying to annoy her or plain being stupid. "She was more worried than all of us put together."
"Let her worry," Ron said dismissively. "I'm fine now, so everything's worked out okay."
"You seem to enjoy putting her through Hell, Ron," her voice turned cold, as Shego, Hana, and Wade watch silently. "Causing her so much worry, and then you brush her aside so easily. You don't deserve half a good friend as her."
"Yeah, well, she hasn't been that good of a friend to me for a few years herself," Ron shot back defensively.
"Are you still stuck six years s back?" Monique raised her voice angrily. "Do you know what Kim has done for you the past three months? She has literally exhausted all her favors looking for you. And if that isn't enough for you, she has been working literally twenty hours a day trying to track down every single lead of you."
"No one asked her to," Ron replied sullenly.
"That's the point!" Monique slapped her forehead. "No one asked her to, but she wanted to anyway!"
"Doesn't she have a boyfriend to worry about?" Ron muttered hotly. "Dan, Dick, douche-bag or something?"
"He dumped her!" Monique screeched. "Two months ago! Just because she couldn't make time for him! You were just too important for her to have her own personal life. Are you happy now?"
"Maybe," Ron crossed his arms across his chest, as the anger in him quickly evaporated. A slight smirk curled on his lips as he digested the new information.
"She gave up everything just to look for you!" Monique yelled at him. "And you didn't even bother to look her in the eye or thank her for all the trouble you put her through! God, Ron, get it into your thick head! You are important to her! So stop these stupid childish mind-games and stop trying to hurt her!"
"I'm not playing any mind-games here! And I'm not the one that did the most hurting, Monique," Ron replied uncomfortably. "Besides, there's something really important that I have to do anyway, more important than anything I've done since Team Possible was around..."
"What's so important that you couldn't even spare five minutes for your best friend in the whole wide world?" Monique replied coldly.
"You'll see," Ron replied cryptically.
They all got in the limo to go to their next destination. "Where to, Stoppable?" Shego asked.
"Take us to the hospital, please, Shego." Monique requested.
"No." Ron interrupted.
"No? Ron, you have to go to the hospital." Wade insisted.
"No is a complete answer." Ron replied.
"Wade's right, the doctor has to look at you." Hana said a bit worried.
"I don't have to do anything." Ron assured her. "I've been in captivity for three months. There are two things I want to do. I want a Bueno Nacho and the other..." Ron started.
"That's enough of that." Monique stopped him before he said something inappropriate in front of his sister.
"...is not what you think. I want you to call for a press conference now." He said shocking Monique.
"Call for a press conference?" Monique repeated in surprise.
"Yeah." Ron confirmed.
"What on earth for?" She asked.
"Shego, drive. Bueno Nacho first." Ron told Shego, ignoring Monique's last question.
The limo then pulled up to a very modern building with American flags lined all around as a large audience clapped. And in front of the building was Drew Lipsy, wearing quite a fancy suit, who quickly made his way to the car with his arms wide open. "Look at this!" Drew said, opening the door for Ron, and embracing his friend. "Ron. We were going to meet at the hospital." He told the billionaire.
"He should still go to the hospital." Hana insisted.
"I don't think it's gonna happen, Hana. Just be thankful he's as healthy as he can be." Wade told her.
"No, I'm fine." Ron said with the Naco still in hand.
"Look at you! You had to have a naco, yeah?" Drew asked. He brushed off Ron's suit a bit as they headed for the building, many other people in suits on either side of the door clapping as they advanced towards the entrance.
Ron Stoppable stepped into the large atrium that is the lobby of the Stoppable Enterprises main building holding a Naco in one hand while his other hand still remained in a sling.
Monique hung back as Ron was surrounded by reporters and their cameras. Suddenly, someone came up to her. "Miss Pearman?" A mysterious man in a suit asked Monique.
"Yes." She confirmed.
"Can I speak to you for a moment?" The man asked.
"I'm not part of the press conference, but it's about to begin right now." She said.
"I'm not a reporter. I'm agent Rook Blonko, with the Plumbers." He introduced.
"Don't you guys fix toilets." She asks.
"No, it's just a cover for us." Rook explained.
"You know, we've been approached already by the DOD, the FBI, the CIA..." She listed.
"We're a separate division with a more specific focus. We need to debrief Mr. Stoppable about the circumstances of his escape." He explained.
"I'll put something in the book, shall I?" She offered.
"Thank you." He said gratefully before walking away.
As Ron surveyed the room, he took note of the hundreds of reporters sitting impatiently for his all-important press conference. With a smile, he took one large bite into the cheesy snack in his hand, before stepping up the aisle and taking his position behind the podium.
"Hey guys," Ron cheerily announced into the microphones.
Before he could get another word out, reporters were instantly on their feet shouting questions at him.
"Mr. Stoppable, how did you escape the terrorists?"
"What do you intend to do with your captors?"
"Did you meet Osama bin Laden?"
"What did the terrorists want from you?"
Holding up a hand, Ron gingerly took another bite of his Naco as he savored the runny cheesy taste slowly in his mouth. Taking note that the man of the hour wasn't the slightest bit paying any attention to the deluge of questions, the horde of reporters slowly began to quiet down. Licking his lips, Ron devoured the rest of the Naco quickly. He let out a contented sigh as he savored the fading taste of his second Naco in three months.
"Alright," Ron continued, as he looked at all the puzzled faces. He let out a loud sigh, "Tell you what guys, this is way too formal and I need a seat." Ron strode around the podium, and slowly sat down in front of it, easing his way slowly down with his good hand.
"C'mon now guys," Ron spoke lightly as he gestured to everyone. "Sit down. Everyone, sit down on the floor with me. So that everyone from the back can see this."
The reporters glanced at each other and shrugged as they all sat down or knelt on the floor, watching the eccentric billionaire with rapt attention.
"Alright," Ron dusted his hands on his suit. "Now let's get to the point of this press conference. Have you ever stopped and wondered what you're doing with your lives? People have often asked me that. What kind of impact am I making on the world today? What have I done to make this world a better place? Honestly, I can't really answer all those questions now. A lot has happened to me which has forced me to reevaluate my priorities. That is why I, Ron Stoppable, would like to announce that, effective immediately, and for an indefinite time from this day forward," he paused for dramatic effect, "That Stoppable Enterprises will be shutting down its weapons division and would instead focus its efforts…"
Before Ron could finish the rest of his sentence, all the reporters immediately jumped to his feet and assailed him with a new barrage of questions. But they weren't the only one surprised; one look at his partners and closest aide said it all. Wade, Hana, and Drew were dumbstruck at the surprise announcement, and even Monique, who thought that her boss couldn't surprise her anymore, began to revise that thought.
"Hang on now," Ron insisted as he tried to quell the mob. Just before he could say anything further, someone had interrupted the press conference.
"Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen," Wade had stepped up behind the podium and spoke to the crowd. "It would seem that Mr. Stoppable has had a very long day and he is tired from his recent escape from captivity, leading to this rash decision. Mr. Stoppable and I would like to discuss this… Interesting avenue further before we proceed with any decision of that magnitude. With all due respect, we will not be fielding any more questions."
As the reporters clamored for more answers, Wade had already ushered Ron into the elevator, followed closely by Monique and Drew. The metal doors shut quietly behind them, before the soothing elevator music started playing. Wade was shooting angry glances at Ron, while Drew was trying to scrutinize Ron's bemused look. Monique had just turned to study her latest brown Dolce shoes; the tension in the elevator was close to suffocating her.
Just as soon as the elevator doors slid open, Wade stomped out and looked coldly at Ron. "What the hell was that about? Don't you think you should discuss this with us before making a decision like that?"
"Wade," Ron replied. "I have had three months to think about it."
"Ron," Wade spoke, as he placed a hand on Ron's shoulder. "We've been friends for over fifteen years. Five of which I've spent with you building this place. This decision of yours affects not just the lives of thousands of employees currently employed by Stoppable Enterprises but also the hundreds and thousands of soldiers who are currently relying on our technology to keep them safe."
"That's right, Ron!" Drew interrupted hotly. "We invented the personal light combat armor, that's not only half the weight of Kevlar but just as effective and recyclable! We have done good things with this place! We've advanced technology so far that we are able to do things that we never thought possible!"
"But at what cost?" Ron raised his voice at his two partners. "Do you know what I saw out there? Weapons! Our weapons, used against our own soldiers! It turns out that we weren't just supplying the good guys! Someone has been double-dealing!"
"That's not our problem!" Wade protested. "That is just a problem with the system. Someone out there has been reselling our weapons! That's all! All we can do is tighten our security measures, input tracking devices and…"
"No! Wade, listen!" Ron cut him off. "Those weapons had shipping labels that were here in the states... As in the labels that are on the boxes while still under Stoppable Enterprises control, handled by our employees, and our management! These did not come from outside!" Ron glowered at a shocked Wade, who's eyes had widened at Ron's statements, and then at Drew, who's eyes had narrowed at the very same declarations. "Don't you see what is going on? What we're doing is wrong! More weapons aren't the key to resolving global conflict…"
"But haven't we been successful so far?" Wade pointed out angrily, quickly recovering from his shock. "Shutting us down won't do anyone any good, Ron. This is bigger than all of us and suddenly you want to call it off because you have a change of conscience?"
"Don't you think we should?" Ron shouted back. "Do you want to see our weapons in the hands of a child? We've gone too far, too fast! We've made so many weapons that we've lost sight of what this company was supposed to do! We were supposed to protect people! What is the point of protecting people if our weapons ultimately end up in the hands of the enemy?"
"Look, Ron," Wade squeezed his temples as he spoke. "You and I know how important this work is. Listen to me, Ron. Go home and take a break, take some time off. Take a month off, cool your head for a moment before you go through with this decision."
"Wade… I know this is what I want to do…" Ron spoke, but as he looked at the stone faces of Wade and Drew, he knew his words were falling on deaf ears.
"Take the month off, Stoppable," Drew insisted coldly. "We'll talk about this again after that."
"Fine," Ron threw up his hands in frustration. "But this matter is far from resolved." He strode off angrily towards the elevator, with a quiet Monique following closely behind him. His two associates watched him with arms crossed as they glowered at his back.
"This is not good" Drew said to Wade after a moment of silence.
"Agreed," Wade replied. "But he is right. Someone has been using our weapons without our knowledge, and I think it's time we find out who." With that statement, the two walk off not knowing someone has been watching the interaction the whole time.
The figure then forms a smirk as he spoke. "This is getting interesting…"
Here is a quick little update, hope you all like it as the next one will be a bit longer, but what did you all think of it. And yeah Kim finally returns, but as usual Ron brushed her off for the crap she did.
And can I get everyone's opinion on something? Which would sound better? Rufus becomes an AI as a stand-in for JARVIS? Or keep Rufus alive and eventually make him have his own Iron Man suit? Let me know in the comments. Would greatly help as I'm stuck between the two.
So my plan for the 5 stories this month is to try to do one chapter per week, but knowing my schedule it will be hard. Unlike last month I will try harder to get more stories written out faster. I'm sorry I couldn't get more than 2 chapters on most of the stories out, June was hard for me as I work 6 days a week with one of those days being a double shift as I work very long hours. It's why I am having a very hard time to write out stories for you all. If anyone is interested in helping out write a few scenes I wouldn't say no for the help. Just shoot me a PM and we can talk about that. But other than that, here are the stories this month.
