Author's Note: Unless I get a massive outcry otherwise, this will be the last chapter of this story. It's been fun, but I want to move on.
Chapter Fifteen: Diana and the Dragon
"What kind of situation?" Diana asked as Luis and Clark flashed through her mind. When the young genius didn't answer, Diana became frustrated. "Wade, what the hell is going on?!" Before Wade could answer, Diana heard an old tone that she always hoped she would never hear. Her old earpiece from her Team Go days was flashing frantically with red light. An SOS from the twins! Diana shivered as she placed the device in her ear. The sound of shuffling and grunting could be heard. Then, Diana heard Clark murmur in discomfort. Finally, Diana heard more shuffling as someone put the comm unit in their ear.
When the Dragon spoke, a chill ran down Diana's spine. "Well, isn't this a first?"
Diana had to shake the fear from her mind at hearing her own voice, a bit older, but still hers come form somewhere other than her own mouth. "What are you here for, you bitch?!"
The Dragon laughed with a sinister tone. "Scarlet Widow and I are looking for an heir. I'm getting older and will need to pass my rule safely to her when the time is right."
Diana's eyes narrowed. "You won't get your claws in my daughter, you monster!"
Diana could imagine the Dragon calmly studying her nails with a bored expression as the tyrant raised an eyebrow."What's that I hear?" The Dragon asked in a mocking tone. "You actually want to play 'family' and protect it." She sneered.
Diana's fists tightened. "You lay one finger on Kim or Madison…"
The Dragon smiled. "I'm not the one that's going to have the baby. Now, are you?"
Diana's heart stopped, "Kimmie…"
"…will be easy to kill in her current state, especially for my Widow." The Dragon stated with something that almost sounded like affection but didn't quite make it to genuine feelings.
"You're nothing but a psychopath, and the Widow was simply right for manipulation when you showed up." Diana growled as she patched in The Tweebs.
"I'll be expecting you, Diana. Here…" Diana looked at her Kimmunicator as a map appeared with a dot on it. "..,in an hour to discuss 'family arrangements'."
Diana glared at the location. "When I get done with you, you'll beg to go back."
It took the Dragon only a moment to answer. "With you? I'm touched, but self-incest isn't me."
Diana shook her head in anger and tapped a button on the earpiece to end the call.
"Did you get that, Jim and Tim?"
The boys responded calmly. "Protect…" Tim started. "…Kim and our niece…" Jim continued. "…from evil Kim."
Diana had a moment of pity for the Widow as she imagined the Tweebs wrath unleashed on the woman. I hope she plans on getting her ass kicked. Diana thought as the moment of pity passed.
The boys then spoke in unison, "That butch won't know what hit her."
Diana's silence was deafening.
"What?" Tim asked. "Kim is pretty masculine." Jim chuckled. "I wonder-"
Before Jim could finish his thought, Diana cleared her throat. "Just keep her safe, you two." Diana growled as she ended the call.
Diana glared at the road ahead as she mounted her bike to meet her tyrannical double. I hope you know what you're doing, Diana. The woman thought as she rode to her destination.
Kim was startled from sleep by her door opening. Peering through the darkness, Kim saw two forms stand in her door. Then, the two forms rushed Kim and covered her mouth. Before Kim could throw her attackers into a wall, sounds of someone on the roof distracted Kim as the two boys only nodded and mumbled softly between themselves. Then, they left and returned, armed with strange weapons that looked like a cross between an ordinary rifle and laser weapon.
"Keep a bead on that target, Megan." Jim growled. "Pandaroo and Mean Green Junior are secure. Any movement?"
Megan smiled and fired. "Not anymore…"
"How strong are the tranquilizers?" Jim whispered to his brother.
"Normal thorazine augmented with a plasma negating agent…" Tim responded. "…should keep the Widow down long enough."
Jim nodded and sighed, "Never thought we'd have to use the Sigma Contingency on our big sis, er an alternate of her."
Kim glared at the boys as they detained the Widow in plasma-proof cuffs. "When this is all over, we need to talk, boys."
"When Shego came to the house…" Tim said quickly. "We started working on an anti-Shego plan." Jim finished for his brother.
"When this is all over; me, you two, and Diana are going to have a long talk." Kim said softly.
Tim and Jim only paled in response.
Meanwhile, Diana tensed as she approached a warehouse that seemed to be the place indicated on the GPS.
This place screams trap. Diana said with a sigh as she walked into the warehouse and looked around nonchalantly. At least ten squads from GJ and WEE… Diana shook her head at the thought. "You want a show, Miss Hot Shit Dragon?" Diana growled as she walked into the obvious trap. "You'll get one."
Diana shook her head and sighed as she saw the weapons trained on her. "Hey, Dragon Bitch! Are you gonna let these sub-par dumb asses soften me up, or do you want to fight me at my best?"
The Dragon walked out of the shadows in her queenly regal garb, green and black color scheme just like Diana. She then hissed as green plasma broke out of the ground with an ear-shattering concussive roar as flames licked equally at Global Justice and Gemini goons indiscriminately. The men that weren't roasted by the flames held their ears and cried in pain. Many retreated and ran, wobbling and falling as they did because of the damage to their inner ears.
"Betty, Gemini;" the Dragon growled with an irritated tone as if she were reprimanding children. "I told you to keep your men back until my heir was secured!"
Diana smiled and nodded as the pair of doppelgängers circled, sizing each other up. "Get what you want and let Betty and Gemini destroy themselves squabbling over the scraps. Smart…"
The Dragon raised an eyebrow as she calmly dodged Diana's punch. "You are calm while your love and child are in danger?" Her face betrayed a moment of confusion.
"What would YOU know of love?!" Diana growled.
Caught off guard by the question, The Dragon caught an ax kick to the face. Diana pressed her opening and ran on the downed woman. As Diana sent a flaming fist toward the tyrant's face, The Dragon moves out of the way and countered with her own plasma.
"Is it better to be feared than loved?" Diana asked she calmly deflected The Dragon's off balance attacks.
"What did fear get you, Dragon?"
Diana didn't wait for and answer and kept pressing. Diana could sense the building anger and pain in The Dragon. Her plasma was getting hotter with her anger. The Dragon gritted her teeth and started flinging fireballs at Diana in a rage.
"Let me tell you: It pushed everyone away from you." Diana whispered in the Dragon's ear as she she pinned the Empress.
Diana picked up the The Dragon and threw her across the room as plasma rolled through her veins at a steady pace, giving her a moment of super strength.
"I am the Queen of the World!" The Dragon countered.
She attacked with new power and landed on her feet before she could hit the wall. The enemy's attacks stabilized paradoxically as rage gave her an odd calmness. Then, The Dragon roared in true animalistic fashion and let her body morph, changing into a odd biped dragon-like creature.
"OH SHIT!" Diana said as her eyes widened at the sight.
Before Diana could react in word or action, the monstrosity came upon her and sank its clawed right forelimb wrist deep in Diana's chest.
"You will DIE bowing to me!" The Dragon declared as her eyes blazed with fury.
Kimmie and Maddie… Diana thought as she looked up at the sky and prepared to meet her fate. …I love you.
NO! Kim heard Maddison tell frantically. Mom's dying!
As Jim and Tim brought the Widow to Kim, Kim looked up from her stomach and started sobbing. Then, Kim looked at her brothers with dead eyes, closed them, and only released a blood-curling scream before the room was swallowed in green light.
Jim and Tim looked around for a moment and gasped as they saw Kim on top of Diana weeping softly. The Dragon only looked on in mild confusion at the scene and ever so slight amusement playing on her lips.
The Widow looked at her "lover" in stunned shock.
"You…" The Widow looked between Kim's weeping form and The Dragon. "I was wrong." She whispered with hurt in her eyes. "You truly are a beast."
The woman formerly known as Scarlet Widow backed away from the Dragon and looked at Kim and Diana as emotions tore her mind asunder. Finally, the woman knelt, closed her eyes and concentrated. Her hands burned bright with red plasma.
Kim looked up at her alternate in confusion at the feeling of heat expanding across Diana's body.
"'Anything's Possible for a Possible.' Right…uh…sis?" She said nervously. "Call me Kate."
Kim could only stare in shock as Diana's body drew in the red plasma greedily. After a moment, the fatigue began to show on Kate's face as she pushed more plasma into Diana's body.
Soon after, Diana began to stir. "W-What happened?" The temporally deceased woman asked tiredly as she looked around. Diana tensed when she saw Kate.
"Easy, Diana…" Kim said gently. "Kate brought you back."
It was then when Kim winced and her face lost a bit of color. "The baby…"
Kate just nodded. "Get Kim to the hospital, Diana! I'll handle The Dragon and the double goon squads!" When Diana gave her a momentary questioning look, Kate growled. "The Baby wants out! Get your ass to the hospital now!"
Diana didn't try to argue, picked up Kim in her arms and flew to Middleton General as fast as she could. As Diana landed in front of the Labor and Delivery entrance, a muffled boom and a brief flash of red light took Diana's attention.
"Damn…" Diana whispered softly as she temporarily wondered if Kate survived the faux nuclear blast she created.
Inside the hospital, Diana yelled, "I need help here!"
A doctor and two nurses rushed up to the green woman. "What's the problem?"
Diana would have facepalmed if her hands were free, but she settled for an eye roll. "She's in labor, you idiot!"
The doctor and nurses changed instantly. One nurse went to get a gurney. The other started taking down Kim's information. Then, the nurses and doctor started wheeling Kim back to the delivery room. When the doctor saw the chart, his face contorted in confusion. Then, he stopped and looked back at Diana in disbelief.
"I was there, dumbass." She growled. "I could go into detail about how, but unless you want third degree burns, I suggest you go back to your job and tend to my WIFE!"
"Y-yes ma'am!"
"That's what I thought you said." Diana mumbled as she followed the doctor into the delivery room.
After refusing to be scrubbed in, Diana had to give the doctor a few minutes' worth of Microbiology lecture and show her plasma to convince him.
"Trust me. If I don't want it to live, it doesn't live." Diana deadpanned as Kim giggled in spite of the pain she was beginning to feel.
"So…you always loved me?" Kim asked between slight grimaces that were steadily deepening.
Diana blinked in confusion. "What?"
Kim smiled and squeezed Diana's hand. "You only ever hurt me once." Kim explained as she remembered the pain in Shego's eyes as the green woman drew blood during that one fight. "If you wanted me to die, I would have been dead after our first fight."
The thought made Diana shiver. "Never…Princess." Diana stated as she kissed Kim gently.
Hours later, the cries of a newborn filled the delivery room. As the baby was laid on Kim's chest, the new parents smiled at their daughter.
"Welcome to the world, Maddie Go-Possible." Kim whispered as Diana grinned.
"You have no idea what kind of trouble you'll be…" Diana whispered as she smiled at her daughter.
Beatrice, Megan, Wade actually in person this time, the Possibles, and Monique all looked at Diana nervously.
"What? You know it's true!"
Please Read and Review.
Author's Note 2: I really enjoyed the story "Kim Possible is Ghost Rider". The story appears abandoned, and I want to give it a shot. How does one "adopt" a story?
