Kim Possible Bonnie's Secret Crush
Chapter 10 A New Leg For Bonnie
It's been weeks since Felix Renton has started working on a new leg for Bonnie. In the design, he made it look as real as possible, with fake flesh skin feel to it. A charging port for a portable phone charger. It has a hollow calf for storage. It was big enough to incorporate a gun if she wanted to. Looking at the leg he created, he felt a little proud of himself for the way it came out.
"That's amazing news. I'm sure Bonnie will be happy to hear this. I'll get her up there tomorrow. She's gonna be ecstatic about this. Thank you and see you tomorrow." Kim hung up the phone and was so excited to tell Bonnie, that she ran through the house to the living room. Bonnie was sitting on their sofa reading a fashion magazine.
"Bonnie, Betty called. You new leg is ready." The brunette dropped her magazine and started smiling.
"Really? When can we go get it?" The former cheerleader still needed her wheel chair to get around. But with the news of her leg being ready, she was ready to learn to walk again.
"Tomorrow. We can go first thing in the morning." The redhead walked back to the sofa and sat with her girlfriend.
"That works for me. I'm so tired of chairs. I really want to get up and moving again." Bonnie was so happy about getting her new leg, she gave Kim one of the biggest hugs she ever gave anyone.
"I know cupcake. But even the first step is exciting to me. I miss walking, dancing and cheerleading. I feel like I'm getting fat just sitting everyday." Looking at Kim and telling her that she understands the routine. But the ability to walk again was something Bonnie just couldn't wait to do again
Kim's mom Anne had returned home and sees the girls on the sofa talking amongst themselves. "Hello girls."
"Hi mom." Came Kim's voice followed by Bonnie's.
"Hi miss Possible." Which garnered a look from Anne.
"Bonnie, I know I told you that you can call me mom too. It's not betraying your mother. Your an addition to our family through Kim. We accept you with open arms as a member of the Possible house hold. We love you like you were our own." Anne once again reminded Bonnie of how everyone thinks of her.
"Ok, ok. I get it. I just really miss my mom sometimes." Bonnie was starting to look sad which got her a hug from Kim.
"And we'll be here for you when those feelings rise up. We all love you. Especially me, cause your my queen." The hero girl was doing her best to reassure her girlfriend. Even though she couldn't really understand those feelings, but understood the pain involved.
"Bonnie dear, why don't you come help me with dinner tonight?" Dr. Anne was going to the kitchen to cook dinner for the evening.
"I don't know what I can do to help." The brunette was looking sad.
"Sure there is. You can sit at the table and cut some vegetables for me. And maybe make the salad?" Anne suggested to the one legged former cheerleader.
Kim gave Bonnie some encouragement to go with her mom. "Go on Bonnie. You need something to help you feel, like you can help, even if your stuck in this chair temporarily."
"Ok. I'll do it. Help me back into my chair princess." Kim helped her into her chair and pushed her into the kitchen and at the table.
In the living room, Kim is picking up and folding blankets. Out of the silence was the sound of the Kimunicator. Kim picks it up and answers the call. "What's the sitch Wade? Oh. Dr. Director, what can I do for you?"
"Just checking in. Have you heard from Shego in the last few days? We can't seem to find her." Was the spy woman's question. She wanted to talk to Shego about turning against all the other villains and supplying GJ with evidence to take them all down.
"Not since we talked about the trial. Why, is she in trouble with GJ?" Kim was getting nervous about her former nemesis. If GJ arrests her before she can testify at Drakken's trial, she may not testify.
"Well, yes and no. You know she has warrants all over the world. And eventually she'll have to deal with them. But no we're not after her night now. I just want to talk to her face to face. Maybe we can do something to squash everything. At least in the US anyway." The spy woman was thinking, that with Shego helping catch all the evil super villains, Kim could settle into her marriage to Bonnie, and not have to run all over the world on missions that don't pay.
In the kitchen, Bonnie and Anne are busy with dinner prep. "Bonnie hunny, how you doing with the vegetables?"
Bonnie was sitting at the table, cutting away to get the vegetables cut up for dinner. "Almost done mom. Just a couple more carrots and I'll be done."
"Well, while your doing that, have you and Kimmie picked a date for the wedding?" It was a legit question since the two haven't discussed it in a few days.
"Have you heard anything about your new leg?" Just to change the subject, she diverted to Bonnie's leg that GJ was creating for her.
"Tomorrow we're going in for the first fitting. I can't wait till I can walk again. I miss it. You really take things for granted when you lose your ability to do something." Bonnie was still a little depressed after losing her leg to Drakken and his evil scheme.
"Well I can't relate to what your feeling, I can understand that that it must be horrible to lose your ability to walk. And it's true, we do take things for granted until we lose abilities." Anne was taking the last of the veggies that Bonnie was working on and took them to the stove.
"Can I tell you a secret? And you can't tell Kim. I don't want her to worry about me more than she needs too." Bonnie was starting to get choked up, she's been holding some things back that she didn't want anyone to know. Like how she's really been so scared of being captured again. To be used as a hostage to get Kim, to do whatever bidding that her kidnappers wanted her to do.
"Sure. What is it BonBon?" Anne used Bonnie's real moms nickname for her.
After Bonnie sniffles a couple of times, she reveals her secret to Anne. "I'm scared. I'm scared that this could happen again and I would lose another body part to some madman, who has a vendetta against Kimmie. I don't think I could live without any other missing limbs. I love Kim so much. And I don't want my life being a burden to her. She's everything to me. She saved me and you guys let me live here. I just feel horrible that I've interrupted your live with my issues. You know you didn't have to. The way I treated Kimmie before, and still you let me in. Even rearranged your house to accommodate me. You spent so much, done so much just for me. I don't know if I could ever repay you all." Then she broke down the rest of the way. She cried with tears flowing down her cheeks. She put her hands on her face to try to silence the cries she let out.
Immediately Anne was at her side hugging the Bonnie like she was one of her own children that got hurt. "Sweety it's ok. Your not a burden to anyone. I know we've told you this before. Kim loves you too. I can see it in her eyes when she looks at you. You don't have to be scared anymore. You have all of us here to help you when you need it. And changing the house is nothing. I'd do it again if I had to. No one should ever be left alone at their lowest. No repayment is needed for anything. Kim loves you and you love her. If you makes my Kimmie cub happy, then we would heaven and earth for you too. We've all grown to love you as one of our own children. And a second sister to the twins. Now lets dry your eyes, blow your nose, and lets get this dinner done for everyone we love. Ok?"
Sniffle. "Ok, mom. Thank you. I think I really need to hear that. But I can't say I won't have another one of these episodes again. Especially when I'm feeling really down a about life and the lose of my mom right in front of me. I don't think I'll ever stop having the nightmares."
"Probably not. But at least Kim will always be there to hold you when they come."
They continued to talk as they per paired dinner for the rest of the family. They talked about what Bonnie was planing for a career after she was back on her feet, so to speak.
Once dinner was over, Kim and Bonnie took care of everything and Kim put the dishes in the dish washer. Once done with that, they returned to the living room, and watched a movie with the family. Kim was holding Bonnie close and Bonnie was leaned back on Kim.
The next morning, Kim and Bonnie are on their way to Global Justice r and d department, and Felix Renton's office. They are there for Bonnie to try on her new leg. Custom designed and built by Felix, for Bonnie, with some special additions. What those additions are, will be revealed very soon. Even Bonnie didn't know about them, yet.
After arriving at Global Justice, they made their way straight to Felix's office. Felix, who also sits in a wheelchair since he was young, worked at GJ in the RD department, where he is tasked normally with new weapons technology. He got a strange message one day from Dr. Director, about a special case where she needed him to create a leg, for a sometimes agents girlfriend, who was kidnapped and had her mother murdered right in front of her.
Felix, not one to turn down a challenge, excepted the task. It really wasn't something he would normally do, but once he found out it was Kim's girlfriends, and the schools most ruthless queen B. he still did as asked. Once they met for a design meeting, he found out that the queen of high school had made a drastic change. She wasn't the same person. Bonnie was quit nice to him for a change. Even apologized for their past interactions.
Once everyone was in the room, the head of GJ Betty Director also stopped by to grab Kim a take her to her office for their own little meeting. A meeting that would be filling out application for joining the elite group of agents. And a pamphlet about GJ training. And a quick discussion about the meeting with Shego later that afternoon, and finally, questions on how ready they were to testify at Drakken's trial.
While Kim was with Dr. Director, Felix began with showing Bonnie her new leg. The outer color tone was the same as Bonnie's skin tone. It looked like a real leg. Felix explain the construction of the leg, with the addition of metal construction under the outer wall. Which when touched felt like real skin, only cold.
"The outer skin will warm up to body temperature once you attach it to your stub. Inside there is a set of connectors that when touched to you outer sleeve, will automatically start to receive information that will activate in inner mini computer, which will start the warming process. If you touch this spot, it will open the calf muscle to reveal a hidden compartment that you can use to carry whatever you want in it."
Bonnie was very impressed with how Felix could build a leg that looked like her old one, and had a storage compartment. "So if I wanted to, I could carry a gun in it?"
"You could, but you don't need to. I have installed a forty five caliber gun in the heal. If you touch here, it will open this spot on your ankle to access the trigger for it. Touch here on the back of the leg to change out the magazine. I figure you would want something along these lines for your own protection." Felix thought of everything before Bonnie did. He had a suspicion that she would want something to protect herself if anything like this ever happened again.
It wasn't long before Kim rejoined them in the wheel chair bound scientists office. She arrived just in time for the fitting to begin. "What did I miss?" Asked the redheaded hero. Bonnie smiled at her.
"Well I know everything about the leg now." The brunette said.
Then Felix spoke up. "Well almost everything. There are sensors around the top that taps into your real legs nervous system. So when your walking, your new leg will answer to that signal, and you will be able to actually bend the knee and wiggle your toes. It looks, feels, and touches like the real thing. Nobody will ever be able to tell it's fake until you take it off. Which I recommend because you need to charge it up at night." Felix had certainly thought of everything for Bonnie's leg.
"That's awesome Felix. Has she tried it on yet?" Kim just wanted to be there for the fitting. Everything else she was sure Felix would have thought of.
"Not yet, we were just getting to that part. Here Bonnie, put this on your stub like this, then try on your leg." He showed her how the latex cover went on the stub before she put stub leg into the new leg.
"Well, how does it feel?" Kim asked as Bonnie tried to stand up to put her weight on it.
"It feels like, it feels like my old leg was never taken from me. It's very comfortable on the stub. And look, I can bend the knee and I can feel my toes wiggling."
Bonnie was starting to cry as she sat down in her chair again. The realization that she would be walking soon, was almost to much to bare. She thought she would never walk, again after she woke up in the hospital, and they told her they had to remove her leg in order to stop the gangrene from spreading.
"Now you need to set up an appointment for physical therapy to learn to walk again, and then your all set. You will be walking again before you know it." Felix said, watching the smile that appeared on Kim's face an the smile from Bonnie as she reached out to hug Felix from her chair to his. That put a smile of his face to see that the work he put in to this special project, had made it's new owner so very happy. Even he had a tear in his eye.
"Thank you Felix. You made my fiance very happy. Now we will be cable to walk down the isle when we get married." Kim was now hugging Bonnie from behind while talking to him.
On their way home, Bonnie insisted on wearing her new leg to get more familiar with the feel of it. Bonnie was curious why Dr. Director had taken heart away before Felix could explain to them everything about the leg.
"Kim, where did you and Dr.Director go when we first got to Felix's office?"
"Oh, that, it was nothing. I just had to fill out my application for GJ and when I start training to be an agent." Kim smiled as the words left her mouth. She could still be a hero, but now she would get paid for it. And her and Bonnie would be able to start their lives together.
Bonnie was just as happy as Kim the she got into GJ. They could finally get their own place. "That's awesome. Our lives are starting to get back to normal, and maybe I can get some grants to some college to study law. I want to be a lawyer Kim. That way you can catch them and I can send them to jail."
"That would be awesome Bonnie. But wouldn't you rather defend people then prosecute them? I mean it's totally your choice. I'm not telling you what to do or anything like that." Kim, was just nervous that someone Bonnie would put away, will try to get revenge on her for sending them away. She obviously didn't want her soon to be wife, to put herself in any kind of danger.
"Kim, are you worried about me? Do you not want me to be a lawyer? I guess I could do fashion like mom and my sisters. It just I thought we would work together in some sore of way. That way we could be financially set for when we decide to adopt some kids." Bonnie wanted kids, she didn't know if Kim wanted any. They never talked about it anyway.
At the end of what Bonnie had just said, Kim slammed on her brakes a pulled off the road. Luckily there was no cars behind them at the moment, other wise they could have caused an accident. "What did you just say? You want kids?"
Bonnie looked at Kim straight in her eyes. "Well yeah, don't you want kids? I mean we never talked about it. I wasn't sure if you wanted kids or not. I think you'd be a great mom."
Kim reached out to Bonnie and pulled her lips into hers. "I would love to have a family with you. But, I didn't think you would wanted any kids. So I didn't say anything."
"Well, before, before we were an item I didn't want kids. But being with you has made me a new woman out of me, and I have so much love for you, I want to make you happy anyway I can. And I want a family with you. I didn't know, but somehow I knew, you wanted a family too. Especially after seeing how cool your parents are with you and your brothers."
"Then it's settled, we will be a family one day." Kim grabbed Bonnie by the hand and kissed it. "I love you Bonnie. Lets go home and chill till Betty and Shego get there. I have to mediate between the two of them. So they don't destroy our home."
Shego arrived first at the Possible house. Kim's front door is red with a four pain window in it. They had a ring door camera, so when she walked up to the door, she bent down and waved at the camera. Then Kim's voice came through the speaker. "Come on in Shego." She opened the door to see Bonnie standing next to it.
"Hey Shego." Shego's mouth almost hit the floor when she seen Bonnie, standing on two legs.
"Holy shit girl! Your standing. That's amazing. Can you walk yet?" Shego was stunned to see the pretty brunette out of her chair. Standing by the door to greet her on her own level.
"No, not yet. But Kim helped me set this up so I can say, thank you, for helping Kim to save me. I don't know how much longer I could have survived." Bonnie stretched her hands out to hug the pale woman with the raven black hair.
Shego returned the hug to the brown eyed brunette, and offered to help her back onto the couch. "Your welcome. Anything for princess." She leaned down and picked her up by her legs and carried her to her seat.
Bonnie let go of Shego when she leaned her back on the sofa. "You mean our princess, don't you?" She smiled at the pale green woman now standing in front of her.
"Yeah, well at least you get all of her." Shego was jealous of Bonnie for getting to be with her ex nemesis, when she to wanted to be with the redheaded hottie.
Bonnie, had a growing suspicion, that she beat Shego in getting Kim. She would have to ask Kim about it later for sure. But, it wasn't long before the ring camera went off again as Dr. Director came up to the Possible house.
"Come in Dr. Director." Kim yelled to the door so the one eyed spy woman could walk in without pushing the door bell.
Once the GJ head walked in, Shego was the first to great the spy. "Hello Betty. How have you been?" It wasn't known to everyone, but, Shego and Betty Director knew each other from Go city high school. In fact, Betty was the only person in high school to treat Shego like a normal person. They could have been friends if the comet didn't hit her.
But, it did and Shego was just to the point where she was tired of everyone and their jokes and pranks on her. This the point in Shego's life where a life of crime seemed to appeal to her more than being a hero. But Betty tried to be friend the girl, who was so with drawn at this point that it was mostly useless to try. Shego was to far gone by that point. But it also didn't stop Betty for sticking up for the pale green girl.
"You know how it is. More bad people to catch everyday. But, thanks to Kimberly, we are gaining on the crime in the tri city area. So are you ready for this little meet and greet that Kim set up for us?" Betty wasn't, in fact, ready for this. She definitely didn't want to start a fight with Shego. She still had thought of the two of them being friends.
Finally Kim was ready to get these two to talk peacefully. "Ok guys, let's get this meeting under way. First some ground rules. No yelling, no fighting, and absolutely no plasma blasts. This my parents house and your not allowed to hurt anything in here. Do I make myself clear?"
Both women nodded in agreement. "Good. Now Betty, give Shego your number, and Shego you give yours to Betty. I am tired of being the middle person between you to. I want you both to contact each other and leave me out of it. I have more important things to do than relay messages between you too."
"Understood miss Possible." First came Betty to agree to the Kim's terms. She already had her phone out, waiting to for Shego to give up her digits.
Shego on the other hand was not so willing to give up her number so quickly. "I don't know. I kind of don't want to. I like my privacy and only a select few get my number."
"Shego I swear, talking to you is like talking to and iceberg. You only want to do what you want to do. These are the conditions I set for this meeting. You either give Betty your number, or I will." Kim said it like an order. No way was Shego gonna get her way on this.
"Fine. Her Bets." Shego slid her phone in front of Betty just enough so she could copy down the number.
While Betty was putting Shego's number into her phone, she decided to let a little information... accidentally of course. "You know Shego, in high school, I wanted to be friends with you. I even stuck up for you when those other assholes would pick on you. I didn't think it was right since you couldn't help what you had turned into cause of the comet."
"Whoo Bets, T.M.I. for this group. Besides I never asked you to stick up for me. I could handle those jerks by myself." Shego's eyes were narrowing as she responded to the one eyed spy.
Betty wasn't phased by Shego's eyes, or the tension in her voice. "But you didn't have to is what I'm saying. You didn't need to push me away like you did. I just wanted to be their for you like friends should."
"I guess I was so use to people hating me that I didn't see it that way. Sorry Bets. I guess I should have seen that. I was just so full of rage at that point, that I didn't notice someone actually being there for me." Shego was starting to lighten up her anguish at the spy woman, it wasn't her fault that Shego's life turn for the worst after that day.
"Anyway, Shego, can we count on you to testify in court? Against Drakken? I know you two have a history together." Betty was almost pushing Shego, she wanted to count on her, but with Shego's record...?
Shego just staired at the the short hair brunette across from her. "Look, I'll do it for Kimmie and her gal pal. I just don't want to have to go back to prison after words. Cause I know that's what's going to happen anyway. And just so you know, Drakken crossed the line with me for kidnapping and torturing that girl, what's her name?"
"It's Bonnie, Bonnie Rockwaller. That's my fiancee's name." Kim gently reminded Shego of the brunettes name. Just so it was clear, and besides, she didn't think Shego actually forgot it or not.
"Right. Bonnie, or duchess for short. Anyway, I'd love to help, and I will, of course. I'm just saying, it would be nice to not have to go to prison after." Shego dropped her head and spoke softly with sadness in her voice.
"What if you grant Shego a pardon, if, she becomes a confidential informant, on all the other super villains? I mean, if that is she wants too." Kim interrupted the two women with an idea of her own.
"I mean, look what she did for me and Bonnie. She's more hero than villain now. Without actually being a hero. But, you could use her, from time to time, on missions against them."
Betty thought about it for a while before she spoke up again. "That is true, you did perform an act of heroism. Rescuing a kidnapped high school girl would in deed wipe your record clean. I'll talk to the governor after this and get back to you."
"If you could accomplish something that impossible for me, I'll forever be in you service. I'll tell you anything you want to know. And yes I'll testify next week at Drakken's trial." Shego felt the world lifting off her shoulder, a weight she's had to bear for most of her life.
"Well if that's all there is, I'll just see myself out. Oh, and Kimberly, your first GJ meeting is a big success. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way." With that, Betty turned and headed towards the door.
"I'll walk you out Bets." Shego got up and walked behind Betty. She turned her head around. "See ya princess, take care duchess, you leg is awesome."
Once the two walked out the door, they stopped on the porch standing side by side. "Betty, I'm, I'm sorry about high school. I,I was at my end though. You showed up for the last year of high school, by then, I had been through the ringer. First the comet came and turned me into this, a freak. I didn't trust anyone by then. So I just ignored you. I'm sorry."
Betty turned to look at Shego. "There, there's the girl I always wanted to see. We could of been best friends, but, I understand completely why you just brush me off. I guess I've always known, it was that reason why you did. But a little secret, I always thought you were so cute with that pale skin of yours."
Shego's jaw could have landed on the porch, if it could stretch that far. She was stunned, that Betty Director thought she was cute in high school? What the hell was that about? A more questions were racing through the pale skinned woman's mind, as she tried to register what she just heard.
The raven haired woman's eyes were a blur, and her mouth was gapped open. Her mind was racing so fast, she couldn't see straight. She felt a finger on her jaw as it was pushed slowly up till it was closed. Her eyes began to come into focus as the spinning started to slow. Once her eyes were focused enough, she could she Betty smiling at her with her arm stretched out, and her finger on her chin.
"High there, beautiful, it's been a while since I've been able to slip my guard's for a while. I guess the cats out of the bag now, isn't it?" Betty's smile could almost be considered ear to ear, if it was true.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that. Betty, i...I never knew. I feel guilty now for not noticing." Shego was still in shock of the new development. One, she miss back then.
Betty was still smiling at the pale skin woman. "It's understandable for what you had been through, both at home and at school. I read your file, CPS on your parents asses for the miss treatment of one Shannon Ann Goodwin. Interesting read. You wanna talk about over a drink at my place?"
"Uh, well, um yeah, sure, I guess that would, be ok. Nothing bad could happen could it?" Shego was still in awe, of the information she had received, just a moment ago.
"Then follow me on my bike. It's out in the country so, watch it on the dirt roads." When Betty and Shego had gotten to their bikes, Shego seen that Betty had parked her bike, on the lawn next to hers. Once they had their helmets on, they both mounted their bikes. They were identical black bikes, except Betty had gold rims, while Shego's were chrome. They started their bikes and Betty led the way off the lawn and down street, heading for Betty's very private cottage in the woods.
