Middleton we have a problem

Chapter 3

Hello to all fans this is something that must be said most regrettably I DO NOT OWN KIM POSSIBLE Disney does and unless their lawyers are interested in a slightly used soul, body sold separately, that wont change. And I must also say thanks to my beta DJ Dubois dude you rock out loud. (At least I think you're a dude)

Italicized words are thoughts.

"Alright Fist, the first time you were captured who captured you?" Shego stepped back from her prisoner to lean against the wall.

Monkey Fist thought for a moment and with a scowl replied, "It was that blasted sidekick Ron Stopple." He seemed to seethe just remembering that name.

So it was that sidekick that captured him… how in the world did he manage that? Monkey Fist was hard for ME beat! That lapdog should never have been able to do something like that… could Kimmie have been training him? Her thoughts were interrupted by a question directed to her from across the room.

"Why do you care anyway?"

She walked closer to him and in a sugar coated voice "Do you remember where you are?" He stared at her confused not sure what she was talking about. "You are tied to a chair in a cell somewhere that no one can hear you scream, or look for you, not that anybody would come looking for you anyway. Do you really think now is the time to be asking questions?" she put a hand near his arm ready to strike it should he give a wrong answer.

"Well if you put it like that I suppose not." He instantly wished that he had not opened his mouth he doubted that she would forgive another mistake like that.

She moved her hand. Good I think he's learning to do as I say, now if only Drakken would learn that. She put her mind back to the task at hand "Good, now next question how did the sidekick manage to capture you? I know he can't fight."

"He was only able to capture me because he STOLE MY MYSTIC MONKEY POWER! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ONLY MINE! And that BLASTED rodent of his distracted me. That fool could never have beaten me otherwise." He fumed at rembering how Ron had been fighting with him when his mole ret had tried to break his monkey statues and how after he caught all of them Stoppable had caught him off guard and attacked him breaking all his statues.

So he did fight with Fist Hmm… sounds like he held his own at least for a while. Not bad, but what is it with this guy and "Mystic monkey power." Thing?... wait… if he has this "Monkey power" and he looks like that… and if stoppable has it too… does he look like HIM! She pictured stoppable with monkey feet and hands. She was only able to suppress her shudder through her extensive training. OH THAT is just SICK! She shook aside the disturbing image and returned to her questioning.

"So if Stoppable stole this "Monkey power." From you does he look like you?" she did her best not to shudder at the image.

"What? Oh do you mean does he have such amazing feet and hands? Of course not these are the product of radical genetic mutation and surgery so that I might be a better master of the Mystical Monkey Power!" he gave a contented grin knowing that he still had this important "edge" while Stoppable did not.

And he thinks looking like THAT is a GOOD thing? She wondered why all villains but her seemed to have absolutely no fashion sense. Oh well at least I know that Stoppable isn't some hideous monkey freak. "Ok so what is this "Mystical Monkey Power" anyway?"

"It is the great power that will let me CONTROL THE WORLD with my monkey ninjas! Bwa! Hahaha!" he started a VERY monkey like laugh.

She ground her teeth and covered her ears. Ok that has got to stop I've only hear it once and that is way to many times. She walked over to her prisoner and using her nails jabbed into his burned arm. She was rewarded with a loud scream and something not very flattering about her mother. "Ok you do that laugh again and you lose something." He seemed to be in too much pain to talk, so he just nodded slightly. "God! That was a worse laugh that Drakkens! I didn't think that was possible! And that was not what I wanted to know I meant what can it do?" She was generally interested if it turned out that one could gain fighting skills like his from this Monkey Power.

He seemed able to talk again now that most of the pain had subsided. "Mystical Monkey Power gives you great power what else do you need?"

She thought for a moment and with a smug grin retorted, "How about not being captured?" He glared at her and if looks could kill, it would have. "Well as much as I enjoy our little conversation I gotta go, bye!"

He screamed at her back "Wait! We had an agreement! I answered your questions now LET ME GO!"

She turned and gave a pout "Aww I thought you forgot, oh well deals a deal." She lit up a hand and shot a plasma bolt at the ropes just lighting them on fire not quite breaking all the way through.

He screeched, "Wait! What! That burn's! OW! HOT! HOT! HOOOOOOOOT!" he was trying to get away from the fire eating away at the ropes and his hands.

Hmm should I be merciful and put it out? She thought about it for a moment then felt a stab of pain from her rib and decided not to do any thing about it. "Oh I'm soo sorry, I did not mean to do that." she gave a vicious grin "Just like you did not intend to crack a rib when we met." And with that she walked out side to her hover jet listening to Monkey Fist screaming, so far it's been a pretty good day. She was kept occupied with that pleasant thought on the ride back to the lair.

Announcer voice [meanwhile at Ron Stoppable's house]

"I mean do you think this is a good or bad thing? And don't give me that "Don't freak out it'll all work out." thing cause it WONT all just "Work out." I mean this is SHEGO!... So what do you think buddy?" Ron stopped his ranting and turned to face his pet and best bud, yep you guessed it, Rufus. (If you did not get that before I put it down go watch the series again and then come back, we'll be waiting)

Rufus needed to think about this for a second his human had come home early today with a very depressed mood, the fact that he had come back at that early hour on a Friday was strange, he usually went out with Kim on Fridays. So he had guessed something was wrong. And after some persuasion and large amounts of his "Big Animal Eyes"(if you thought of the movie robots when I put that down we are on the same wave length) he had gotten his human to talk. And boy did he TALK he had just been witness to a half hour marathon of raving, complaining, and self doubt. Now he knew that he was far smarter than other animals but another Sigmund Freund he was not.

And his human needed some help he could see that, Cheese be dammed! He was going to help him! From what he was just told his human was beginning to develop feelings for one of their main enemy's. Shego! Now he himself liked Kim a lot. She always knew just where to scratch, but the had to admit that Kim had gotten much more self centered and cold recently, the fact that she blew his human off for Mankey/Monkey was enough to prove to the mole rat that Kim was becoming a bit of a jerk and that was beginning to hurt his human. From what he knew Ron having this "crush" on Shego was ok. No harm to anybody, of course that fact that Ron had thought Shego was beautiful was old news to him. He remembered when Kim had shown Ron Shego's wanted poster he saw Ron's reaction it was a far less potent version of what happened to him when he saw cheese… yum… cheese… but as far as he was concerned if telling his human that having a few small feelings for Shego was fine with him would make him feel better, then he'd do it as many times as necessary. After all it was only a crush what's the worst that could happen?

He got up and scurried to the edge of the desk and gave Ron his version of a thumb's up and a "S'ok"

Ron looked down at his pet relived, "Thanks buddy I knew I could count on you. That really makes me feel better." His mood lightened considerably asked, "How bout a late night cheese raid" and with a big grin put his arm out to his pet.

Rufus responded with an ecstatic "CHEESE!" and ran up his arm to perch on his shoulder, and with a happy squeak the headed to the kitchen.

[Announcer voice] "Meanwhile at Drakken's lair"

"Shego where have you been?" Drakken was sitting behind his desk working on another one of his doomsday devises.

"I was out on an errand Dr. D, did you need me for another, operation gherkin?" She smirked at the memory of the time he couldn't get the top off a pickle jar and had her open it under the guise of "operation gherkin". The henchmen in the room looked at their hands remembering that none of them could open the jar and how much it hurt their fingers. She smirked again

Drakken looked back to his work trying to hide his scowl, "Shego what have we discussed about undermining my authority?"

She turned towards the door to leave. "Yeah, yeah Dr. D I'll try to remember that next time."

He yelled at her back as she left "Good, see that you do!"

She walked to her room and after finding her key went inside. Her room was styled much like her jump suit. Black and green were the predominant colors, she also had a few pieces of furniture a luxurious bed an easy chair a few bookshelves and a large plasma screen TV on the wall and one painting by a small time Hawaiian artist. She walked in and sunk into the easy chair.

What a day this has been, she sighed, at least the bruises have pretty much healed. She raised a hand to her side to probe her rib. Ouch! She cringed Looks like that one and my leg may take a bit longer to heal. She looked over at her painting it was an ocean scene with dark waters and a twilight sky. There was a patch of clouds and one edge that had a red glow coming from somewhere in its depth. While many might consider it a dark scene she found it very peaceful and looking at it helped to relive her of stress and worry. When she finished admiring it,she grabbed her remote and flipped on the TV. Junk… junk… junk… ah! Here we go.

She stopped on a cooking show; they were making a pasta dinner apparently. That look's good, I need to remember to have Drakken hire a good chef instead of him cooking and making those stupid cookies of his. She watched until the show was over, and after a rather loud grumble from her stomach, she glanced at the clock.

Six, good it's just about time for my shower. She had always loved showers, the hot water pouring over her always made her feel better and relaxed her, she headed for the bathroom.

Her bathroom unlike the rest of her room was a light blue color instead of a green or black. After undressing she checked her side in the mirror well at least it will be easy to hide, I wonder why it is taking so long to heal? She stepped into the shower and let the hot water run down her body and over her side. Mmm… that feels good, she began to relax and let her mind drift back to the sidekick and Monkey Fist, so if what Monkey Fist said is true then the sidekick can fight now huh? I'll have to remember to try and fight him the next time I see him see just how good he is. For some reason the thought of fighting the sidekick appealed to her. I wonder why I like the idea of fighting him? Oh well I'll figure all that out later right now I just want to enjoy this…

[Announcer voice] "Mean while at the Middleton mall"

"Hey Rufus are you ready?" Ron leveled a challenging glare at his pet. Rufus returned the glare with an "h'nk uh-hu" "Alright then ready… set… zombie slaying go!" Ron and Rufus started hitting the buttons on the new zombie slayer game at the arcade. After he and Rufus had talked they had gone out to Bueno Nacho and had a relatively small pig out session. After they finished their game, with Rufus wining of course they headed for the door to go home. But on the way they passed Club Banana and Ron saw Kim going into the dressing room. "Hey Rufus I think I just saw Kim you see monkey boy around?" Rufus looked and gave him an "nk-no." "Huh. That's weird I thought they were out tonight… oh well maybe we can hang a bit before we leave." To Ron the thought that he just couldn't see Mankey, never crossed his mind but later he was truly glad it did not…
