Previously…
"Betty, you had WWEE agents working in GJ without you even noticing. Don't you think there could be even ONE of them left that could still be a double agent?"
"But who could that be K…" Before Betty Director could finish her sentence, Will Du leveled his sidearm at her temple, while unlocking the handcuffs on Sheldon Director.
"Kimberly… Ronald…" Will intoned as the two had their fists clenched, ready to give Will an official beat down. "I think the two of you should stand down, or Betty Director here will no longer be the… Director. Heh heh… I've wanted to say that for a loooong time. I will no longer be a 'Number One'."
"So now you'll just be known as Alpha?" Kim said. "You know that's pretty much just a lateral position change."
"But I won't have to take orders from her." Will pressed the muzzle of his gun to Betty's temple, making her cringe. "So let's go. Possible, Stoppable… you two go first."
As Will Du forced all three out of the building, Gemini stepped up next to him as they walked out. He placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "Good Job, Alpha. When we get to WEE Headquarters, you will be rewarded."
As the group were encircled by WWEE agents, Kim finally realized the Director of Global Justice had actually called her "Agent Possible".
Chapter 10
It took a few seconds for Betty's words to sink in for Kim. Agent Possible. That meant she was working for Global Justice now. Legally. So now she had to do anything within her power to at least save the Director of who she was now an agent of, and naturally, by extension, Ron was an agent as well.
Quickly Kim took in her surroundings. Immediately to her right was Betty Director, and on the other side of Betty was Ron. Behind Kim was Sheldon, and Will Du was behind Betty, still holding a gun to her head.
She was able to steal a glance at Ron, who happened to look her way at the same time. Wordlessly, Kim indicated that she would take out Sheldon first, who was still behind her, and then Ron should take on a hopefully distracted Will and disarm and subdue him as well.
Now, you would think that all this could never be communicated with just a two- second glance. Normally, it would take two people years of working with each other in dramatic situations to be able to read each other's wordless queues and understand… oh who am I kidding? It's Team Possible here.
Faster than you could say 'Rufus', Kim whipped around with a leg sweep, knocking Sheldon to the ground. This in turn caused Will to look over at his new Superior going down, which gave Ron his opening.
With lightning fast… oh who am I kidding again… MMP fast reflexes, Ron grabbed the wrist of Will with one hand, and the gun he was holding with the other, and twisted around throwing his hip into WWEE's newest 'Agent Alpha'. As a result, Will went down, sprawled out on his stomach.
Both Kim and Ron then jumped on their respective adversary's backs and wrenched an arm behind the person's back. Two shots rang out from the crowd of agents that were around them, and Betty Director dropped to her knees.
"Betty! No!" Kim screamed out and pushed even harder on Gemini's arm, making him yell out in pain. "Tell them to stand down… NOW!"
"Put… oof… Put your weapons down!" Sheldon was able to command, and all of the agents working under him did so. "Tell them to drop their weapons to the ground Gemini, before I dislocate your shoulder!" Kim accentuated her command with another twist of his arm.
"Aaiiii! Drop them… DROP THEM!" First one by one, then all agents working for WWEE, dropped their weapons. Then the rest dropped theirs as well. Agents working for GJ immediately began picking them up and handcuffing all WWEE agents.
Kim's attention then went to… "Betty! Are you OK?"
The Director of GJ was still on her knees, but she was now also holding herself up with one arm in a three-point stance. With effort she straightened herself up and turned to look at Kim while still on her knees.
Betty Director was holding her right shoulder with her left hand, and blood was running down the woman's shirt. Kim could also see a pool of blood starting to drip from her mid-section as well.
"It… it's only a flesh-wound, Kim. I… I can…" without another word, Betty's eye fluttered, and she turned and dropped to her back.
"Sister!" Sheldon roared, and with a Herculean effort he twisted out of Kim's hold, jumped up, and before the red head could react a bionic hand clamped down on her head and started to squeeze.
Seeing all this play out before him, Ron knew of only one action he could take… save Kim. He planted a knee in the center of Will's back and turned to face Sheldon. His hands flew out in front him causing an angry beam of blue and black energy to shoot out and envelop Sheldon Director.
"Get… away… from her." Ron growled, and he brought his hands towards himself, which in turn pulled Sheldon away from Kim, who dropped to her knees with no more than a really bad headache.
Ron then started to bring his palms together, which in turn caused his energy to squeeze Gemini's body with tremendous force. "GGAAAHHHH!"
"No Ron! STOP!" He turned towards the voice, but it wasn't Kim this time. It was Betty. She was still bleeding, but she was sitting up, albeit a bit shaky. "It' my fault! It's ALL my fault! I… I'm sorry! Just… please don't kill my… my brother!"
…x x x x…
"Don't kill my brother… don't kill my brother… don't kill…" SLAP!
Betty's eyes slowly opened, and she saw someone lifting what looked like an immersion cap off of her head. Then she saw the person who had slapped her, and she had green eyes.
"Ki… Kim?" Betty Director said groggily. "Wha… what happened? Is Sheldon OK?"
"Yes Betty, your brother is in custody, and he is just fine." Kim crossed her arms. "However you…"
"Was… was it all a… simulation?" Betty asked as she looked around her and noticed a myriad of equipment and GJ scientists, including Dr. Drakken.
"Well, not really." Kim started, "We wanted to find out just how far you were willing to take our training, so we had Wade and GJ's top scientists come up with a self-learning simulation that could adapt to your reactions. It's the next level of what you tried with Ron and I."
"But… how did you get me…"
"In to the simulation? Please Betty." Kim replied with a smile. "Remember who we are? We're Team Possible. We can do anything."
Wade then stepped up to the side of the bed, still holding the immersion cap. "We even came up with a great acronym for the system we came up with, and in fact it was Ron's idea."
Ron then stepped up next to Wade. "We call it the Totally Engrossed Simulative Trainer. In other words…"
Betty dropped her head back on the pillow feeling defeated, with her eyes closed. "The TEST. How ironic…"
The End…
So, it's not that it didn't happen, it really did. But just in Betty's mind. Heh heh… I'm such a little stinker, aren't I?
