Kim Possible Porn Story: A Real American Hero Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Reunions pt 2: Family Matters

Cobra Island

Shego gathered with the rest of the Cobra forces in the hanger bay of the Terror Dome as the large stealth jet slowed before coming to a stop from the runway to the inside of the massive fortress. She stayed by Drakkens side as he and Doctor Mindbender approached the jet, watching the gangplank lower itself from the underside.

Welcome home, Cobra Commander, Mindbender said as Cobra Commander walked down with honor guards on either side. He was dressed in his usual blue military uniform, his cloak, and Cobra symbol adorned hood. How was the graduation ceremony?

They are still blind to whats coming, Cobra Commander hissed as he pulled out a vial of blood and handed it to Drakken. Use this for the core DNA.

Whats that? Shego asked curiously.

Confidential, Drakken snapped, glaring at her hatefully, Need to know only and you dont need to know.

Gather the forces in the throne room, Cobra Commander ordered as he continued from the hanger bay down the side hall to the throne room.

What is the plan this time, Cobra Commander, Destro asked as he and the Baroness flanked the masked terrorist. Which country shall we attempt to take over?

I have a better plan for the moment, Cobra Commander stated as they approached his throne room. It will take time, possibly years, but we must remove the defender before we can truly succeed. He said as the door to the soldier-filled throne room opened. I need full MARS and Extensive Enterprises focus and support for this to be successful.

Destro and Baroness took their place beside the rest of Cobra Commanders Command Cabinet on the front line of the Cobra Troopers as Cobra Commander marched out before his throne to watch the troopers. Cobra Troopers, at Ease! the Commander hissed as he stood with his hands behind his back. Good afternoon, my loyal followers, he began glancing around the large room. Some of you are newcomers to the operation; others have been here for some time some even from the very beginning.

And some of you are merely staying around to take my command once I fall at the hands of GI Joe. It is time for you all to understand something, Cobra Commander said, taking steps toward his inner circle. Before any of them could react, he pulled a forty-five caliber pistol and opened fire on Major Bludd, hitting him first between the eyes then several more times in the chest as he fell backwards to the floor. The Commander continued to fire on his body till the clip was empty.

To be a member of Cobra is to swear unquestionable loyalty to me, your Commander, he said, holstering his gun. This is the price of treason to our cause. There was once a time when I chose to appear cowardly and weak because it motivated you people to THINK! But this… this is a new day. There will be no attempts to usurp my command, no questioning my leadership; there will be no mistakes, AND THERE WILL BE NONE OF YOUR CRAP!! NONE OF IT! Work with me, and soon, very soon, we will rule the world; work against me and I will gut you like a fish.

Questions or comments? Cobra Commander asked, crossing his arms behind his back. One could hear a pin drop. Dismissed, then. COBRA!! He called out the organizations battle cry, which was echoed by almost all present, save for a single, emerald-skinned young woman who could only watch on in a feeling she very rarely felt: fear.

GI Joe Headquarters

Kim Possible felt like she was in a dream. Her arm was wrapped tightly around Rons as he led her and their families around the base. Ive actually here about two weeks all together the whole time Ive been in Basic, Ron explained as they neared the Dojo. Ron opened the door for the family as they walked into the large room, and he smiled as they approached Scarlett, who was doing katas.

Wildcard! Scarlett smiled for a moment before growing solemn as Ron went stiff and saluted her. She returned the salute and took his hand in a handshake. Congratulations, and welcome to the Team.

Scarlett, this is my girlfriend, Kim Possible, our friends Monique and uh, Bonnie, Ron introduced, still surprised at Bonnies friendly presence. And these are my parents and Kims parents, Kims brothers, Jim and Tim, and this is my baby sister, Hana. Ron introduced motioning to his family and friends. Guys, this is one of the people who trained me. Kim, shes the one who loaned me her phone to call you a few weeks ago.

I feel like I already know ya well, Kim, Scarlett took the younger redheads hands.

Ron mentioned me? Kim asked curiously.

You kidding? We couldnt get him to shut up about you, Scarlett grinned before turning to Rons parents, and seemed to visibly hesitate a moment. And its a real honor to finally meet yall She said, shaking their hands before moving to Kims parents and friends.

I knew you would make it, Ron-san, or should I say Wildcard-san? Yori said as she approached the group, giving Ron a beaming smile that Kim did not like at all.

Yori? Kim narrowed her eyes before glancing at Ron. Yoris here Yoris a Joe? Youre a Joe? Kim asked the Japanese kunoichi.

As of this time last year, Possible-san, Yori smiled with a bashful blush on her cheeks.

When were you going to tell me she was here and a Joe, Ronald? Kim asked, turning her fury-filled eyes on her boyfriend.

This is… my way… of… telling you? Ron smiled sheepishly.

You can call our little Jinx a surprise, another voice joined them, and Kim watched curiously as Yoris usually calm, Zen features hardened. The names Falcon, Lt. Falcon the Joe introduced as he stepped up to stand between Monique and Bonnie. I take it the cute redhead has your claim, Wildcard? How about these wonderful examples of feminine beauty?

You will leave them alone! Yori snapped, moving quickly to shove Falcon back and standing between him and the two flushing girls. They came all this way to congratulate their friend on a job well done, not to be pawed on by a disgraceful, worthless beast with no sense of honor.

Hey, I take offense, Falcon placed his hand over his chest dramatically. I am not worthless.

What did I tell you about aggravating Jinx, Falcon, a third voice added, and Ron and Yori snapped to salute.

Aw, cmon, Duke. I cant help it; it’s fun getting her all frazzled, Falcon gave a lopsided smile to the GI Joe Field Commander.

Excuse my half brother, we havent fully got him broken into the group yet, Duke said, returning the salute to Ron and Yori. Perhaps another trip to the Slaughter House would help. Ask Wildcard here; Im sure hell be glad to tell you if the Sergeant has lost his touch or not.

Im good, Im good Falcon held up his hand before sliding a card to Monique. Call me later tonight, girls. We can meet up after Im off duty and have some fun. He whispered with a wink, either not seeing or ignoring Yoris eyes widening with rage. See you at the party tomorrow night, Jinx, Falcon added as he walked past the flustered and angered kunoichi.

Yori stood there fuming for a moment, Again, congratulations on your achievement, Stoppable-san sayonara, She said, turning on her heel and stomping out, muttering in Japanese.

I dont like that smile, Ron frowned, noticing the mischievous smile adorning his girlfriends face as she watched the kunoichi leave. What are you up to?

Nothing yet, Kim said softly as she released Rons arm, And still not off the hook, big boy.

Honest, I had no idea till I got here, Ron held up his hands. Shes Snake Eyes, my martial arts instructors, best student. He had her help me spar and learn meditation.

Snake Eyes? his mother asked with an odd expression on her face.

Yeah, not exactly the most sociable of people, and cant talk because of an accident years ago, Ron explained, But once you get to know him, hes a great guy.

Do you know his real name? Mrs. Stoppable pressed.

Thats confidential information, Duke spoke up when he saw Scarlett preparing to answer and ignored the shocked glare she sent him. He personally requested his identity to be secured; only a handful here know his true name.

Mrs. Stoppable narrowed her eyes but said no more.

Wildcard, you and your family and friends are welcome to attend an officers ball tomorrow night after your dismissal, Duke said, turning to Ron. Thats one thing youre going to have to learn: were more than just a unit, we’re a family. Im sure youll want to meet the people with whom youll be essentially living.

Thank you, Sir, Ron said, saluting his superior.

Dont mention it, Son, Duke returned the Salute, And as long as we dont have any generals around, you can just call me Duke. He added with a friendly smile. Scarlett, care to come with me?

Of course, Scarlett nodded before turning to Rons family. Its been very nice to meet yall, Scarlett smiled graciously before following Duke out of the dojo.

He told you to stop me from telling them, didnt he? Scarlett growled once they were out of ear shot. She snorted when Duke smiled innocently. Bastard, he cant run forever.

He can try, Duke shook his head, And you know he will.

Theyre his family and hes just Scarlett shook her head. He just makes me so angry sometimes. His folks are right there and he knows just how much Id give just to see my mom one more time

Hey, you know its just something he has to work out on his own time. You know Snakes as well as anyone, Duke said, placing a hand on her shoulder. But if you ever need to talk, you know where Ill be.

At your desk, nose-deep in paperwork? Scarlett smiled softly, Thanks, Conrad, youre a great friend.

Any time, Shana. Duke gave her a soft, one armed hug. Just be ready for damage control when the idiot finally decides to come clean.

Damage control, Scarlett snorted, glancing back to see Ron leading his group out of the dojo. Thats a nice way of putting it

Ron and the family walked around for a while before a deep voice caught his attention. Youre the new guy, aint ya? Wildcard, right? Ron turned to see a tall, heavily built African American with a small soul patch but no other hair besides his eyebrows. Word is your cookings good / least thats what Duke said / Im pretty good myself / but well see whos best when everyones fed.

The names Roadblock / Im the heavy weapons and cook on this rock, the man introduced before motioning to his companions. Heavy Duty here is my cousin / he likes good food too, but his cookin aint worth a cussin.

How ya doin, Wildcard, Heavy Duty shook Rons hand.

This heres Wild Bill / hes air transport, Roadblock motioned to the cowboy to his left. But dont eat before you go with him / He makes losing your lunch a sport.

Howdy, Wild Bill tipped his hat, and Im not that bad.

And this is Shipwreck / hes a former Navy SEAL, Roadblock motioned to the bearded sailor to his left. Long as you dont mess with his bird / there wont be a big deal.

The attention then went to Bonnie, who had just loudly gasped. P-Papa?

Shipwreck blinked and looked at the woman standing with Wildcards family. Bonita?

Papa! Bonnie cried out and threw herself at Shipwreck, who welcomed her with open arms.

What are you doing here, my Little Mermaid? Shipwreck asked as he finally released the young woman stepping back to Ron and Kim, who were staring at her in shock.

I went to school with this guy; we were friends, Bonnie said, placing a hand on Rons shoulder.

Since when? He asked before groaning in pain as her high heel slammed into the top of his boot.

Dont listen to Ronnie; hes always been a joker, Bonnie grinned innocently.

Bonnie? Kim narrowed her eyes.

‘Scuse us a moment, Papa, Bonnie said, grabbing Kim and Rons arm and nodding for Monique to follow, then smiled at the Possibles and Stoppables. Be right back she said as she pulled them away.

Bonnie, what the f…? Kim asked in a whisper.

I cant let him know I was a bitch in high school, Bonnie replied, cutting her off before glancing up and waving at Shipwreck. I cant let him know I was as much of a bitch as my mother itd itd break his heart Bonnie frowned, It almost killed him when he found out Connie and Lonnie werent really his, and Mom made me change my name to her maiden name

Wow, you actually admit it Ron shook his head.

Look, theres things I did to try to survive in high school that Im not proud of, and a lot of ’em have to do with you two, Bonnie glanced away, I guess when you left to join GI Joe, Ron, it just brought back some memories of seeing my Papa leaving first to serve in the Navy then GI Joe. I I admire that. And also, I could understand the pain you were feeling there, watching him go without you, Kim.

You said in your speech at graduation that the world outside high school was a place for a new start, and when I saw all this going down, I thought this would be a good opportunity, Bonnie bit her lip. I understand if you dont want to; I know I was a horrible person and

Water under the bridge, Ron said, placing a hand on her shoulder. Id hug you to let ya know youre forgiven, but kind of not allowed to right now, so

So, Ill do it for the both of us, Kim said as she hugged her former rival tightly.

Guess I can officially welcome you to the gang, Bon, Monique winked at the girl, who was struggling to keep from crying. DTE, Girlfriend, Ronnies a new recruit and we dont need your old man, the Navy SEAL, to tear him up before he gets off base.

DTE? Bonnie blinked.

Dry those eyes, Kim and Ron said in unison.

Monique speak, Kim shrugged with a smile. You get used to it.

The four returned to others and watched as Bonnie hugged Shipwreck again. I was hoping youd be on base; its been so long since Mom let me see you she said into her fathers chest. I was hoping Id surprise you

Definitely surprised, Shipwreck smiled.

Got another surprise, was saving it for this to tell the only guys that matter, namely you and my friends, Bonnie said, glancing back to Ron, Kim, and Monique. I filled out the paperwork last week. Im going into the US Navy.

One question: do you remember what I always taught you about dealing with seadogs? Shipwreck asked, looking Bonnie seriously in the eye.

If a sailor tries to get in my pants, I kick them in the balls, Bonnie said as if it was the most obvious thing.

Thats my Little Mermaid, Shipwreck smiled, hugging her, Just promise this ol sailor youll be careful

Only if you do the same She replied.

The happy moment was interrupted by a beeping from Kims Kimmunicator. No she said, seeing her programmed alarm going off.

Time for me to report back to my barracks Ron sighed, glancing to Kim longingly.

Dont worry, Kimmie-cub, Mr. Dr. Possible said, placing a hand on Kims now-trembling shoulder. You two will be back together for real tomorrow night. Just keep thinking: one more night.

Hes right, KP; hang tough, were almost there. Ron smiled, holding out his arm to her.

Youre right, my GI Joe, Kim sighed as she linked her arm with hers, Well see you to your barracks and meet you there for the party tomorrow.

The group walked back to the barracks, making idle chat as they went. When they stopped, Ron noticed Kims grip on his arm tighten. Just till tomorrow, KP, Ron smiled, patting her hand. I love you, He whispered as she finally let go.

Love you, too She breathed back, taking a slow step back toward her parents and two friends.

Ron gave her a small wave before walking into the barracks, both starting to count the minutes till the dismissal.

Go City

The sun had set on Go City, and Team Go had just got in from their evening Patrol, preparing for an evening of rest and their usual fight over what to watch on the television. The argument was stopped by the sound of the doorbell of their towers front door. I got it, Mego said as he left the living room and walked down the stairs to the door. Whos there? he asked, turning on the doors camera monitor.

Pizza delivery, said the brunette in a pizza delivery uniform with a Russian accent.

Do you have a name on the order? Mego asked.

A Heath Goforth? the brunette replied, pushing her glasses up on her nose.

Thank you, Hego! Mego breathed, turning off the monitor and unlatching the doors locks. God knows the kitchen cant survive the Wegos’ cooking again he said before the slight sound of a silenced pistol echoed, followed by the thud of a body hitting the floor.

Worse than the Dreadnoks Baroness smiled as she continued into Go Tower.

GI Joe Headquarters the next evening

So, youre a dad, huh? Ron finally got around to asking Will as they dressed in their evening dress uniforms.

Shes why I was, as you so elegantly put it, a stick in the mud, Will gave a tight smile and a small laugh when Ron flushed, the better I did, the better I was paid. And I didnt want Candi to want for anything. I dont want her to ever want for anything.

What about her mom? Ron asked before looking away awkwardly. If you dont mind me asking I mean just saw your folks and your kid at the graduation

Candy, we were childhood sweethearts, not all that much different than you and Possible, Will said, tying his tie, only we met in sixth grade opposed to your pre-K meeting Candy she had complications during childbirth and

Im sorry, dude, I didnt know Ron said apologetically.

Its ok, you had no way of knowing, Will shook his head, Just word from one whos been there treasure every second you have with her.

Speaking of which, my ladys a’waiting. Are you and Candi going to be at the dance? Ron asked as he put on his cover.

You know it, Wildcard, Will slapped Rons hand in a quick shake. See you guys there.

Take it easy, Straight Arrow, Ron smiled as he walked out of the barracks and made his way to the gymnasium where the dance was set up.

Ron was entered the crowded dance floor and saw several nicely dressed people in both civilian and military garb. Families really dig this kind of thing, ya know? a young man said from where he stood by the door. Dont really get along with mine enough to ask ’em to come and party, so I get to play doorman. Tunnel Rat, and you must be Wildcard, Tunnel Rat said with a crisp, New York accent. Nice to meet ya.

If ya need someone to help ya get in or through something, Im the guy to call, Tunnel Rat grinned, Also not to bad in a brawl either oh, shoot

What? Ron turned to look directly into a white masked and hooded face with dark brown piercing eyes. Uh Hello? Ron gulped, noticing the majority staring nervously.

Stoppable-san, the ninja growled ignoring several of the MP present with hands on their weapons. Ive been waiting for you to show your face here tonight.

Do I know you? Ron gulped nervously.

I am Storm Shadow. You broke my cousins heart, he growled with more than a hint of anger.

Snake Eyes’ hand came to rest on Storm Shadows shoulder just as Yori, dressed in a military uniform, stepped between Storm Shadow and Ron. Cousin, it is in the past.

But Storm Shadow growled, his fingers dancing over one of his katanas.

I said it is in the past, She snarled with the same ferocity.

So be it Storm Shadow said, stepping away from his cousin and jerking his shoulder away from Snake Eyes. It would be in your best interests not to hurt her again. Ever. He glared back at the MPs that had gathered. Ill be leaving now. Enjoy your party, Yori-chan; tell Falcon if he touches you, I will have his guts for Baroness’ garters.

Ron, and everyone else for that matter, watched Storm Shadow walk casually out of the hall. Yori? Ron asked glancing to the Kunoichi.

You never hurt me intentionally but an unintentional rejection is a rejection nonetheless she said, looking down at her boots. But it is, as your lover says, no big. I have healed and recovered, and it is my honor to be your friend and sister-in-arms.

Well Im still sorry Ron said, offering her a humble bow as he was taught by Master Sensei, only to squeak when she gave him a quick hug.

Friend and sister-in-arms better be all, Kim said teasingly as she stood there with their families, Monique, and Bonnie.

You need not worry about me stealing him away, Possible-san, Yori grinned, And I will be sure none of the less honorable females on-base attempt to do so either.

Do you see what I see, Mon? Bonnie looked around the room like a child in a candy store.

I do, Bon, Monique grinned in ecstasy. MIU.

Men in Uniform! They said together before walking quickly into the gym.

And there they go Kim sighed as she stepped up beside Ron.

This is so cool! Jim and Tim exclaimed.

Now comes the issue of keeping those two from tearing the place apart Anne sighed, seeing the mischievousness in her boys eyes.

Perhaps my sister in arms and I can help, Yori smiled graciously. Dial Tone! She called to the corner table where her best friend sat, typing on her laptop. Dial Tone was a young girl, eighteen at best. She had short, blond hair, styled not that different from Bonnie, and a pair of glasses over her deep blue eyes.

You called, Jinx? Dial Tone smiled as she approached the ninja.

Would you like to help me ruin Possible-sans brothers for any other girls? Yori smirked.

As Roadblock would say once you dance with a Joe, Dial Tone winked, The others just blow.

Lets, Yori said as she and Dial Tone offered the younger twins their hands. The boys just stared in shock as their faces turned blood red.

Oh, for the love of Newton Dial Tone rolled her eyes as the two girls grabbed the boys and pulled them out onto the floor with a timid squeak.

That should slow them down for a few days, Anne smiled turning to see the Ninja standing awkwardly with Ron. You must be Snake Eyes? she said, drawing the attention of Rons parents and sister to the only Joe not in military dress, instead in the same black bodysuit and full mask with visor.

So where are you from? Mrs. Stoppable asked as Hana stared at the ninja curiously, her little mind processing why his stance seemed familiar to her.

Mom, leave him alone; he cant talk, anyway, remember? Ron said, placing an arm around Kims shoulder, making her visibly shudder and smile. His background is classified for a reason, and Id guess its a good one.

Snake Eyes nodded his thanks to Ron before turning and walking quickly back to the corner where he was hiding before.

Ron blinked in surprise at his mentors quick departure before smiling down at Kim, Kim, can you excuse me for just a second? Ron asked, and Kim nodded reluctantly.

Ron moved to his mom, and Kims dad whispered something to them. They nodded, and Mrs. Stoppable passed off Hana, who continued to stare at Snake Eyes, to her husband, and the three stepped away from the group to talk.

Moments later, Ron walked toward the DJ on the stage, while Mr. Possible and Mrs. Stoppable returned to the rest of the family, both with tears in their eyes. Whats wrong? Kim asked, as she, Mr. Stoppable, and Mrs. Possible looked concerned.

Nothing; youll see, dear, Mrs. Stoppable smiled brightly as Mr. Possible simply placed a hand on her shoulder and she noticed he was trembling.

What do you mean you dont have that song? Ron asked in disappointment.

There a problem, Wildcard? Duke asked as he wheeled General Hawk toward him.

General, Ron saluted.

At ease, son, whats wrong? Hawk asked the new Joe.

I just I really want to dance to this song with my girlfriend, and the DJ doesnt have it Ron sighed before telling Duke and Hawk the song title.

There is a live band available and Duke glanced around the room, Covergirl, can you come here for a second? Duke flagged down the redhead.

You called, Fearless Leader? Covergirl beamed as she walked up to the men.

Can you sing a song for us? Duke asked.

For you, Duke, anything, Covergirl winked, causing Hawk to snort, but Duke seemed completely oblivious.

Ron explained his plan to them in detail, causing Covergirl to squeal softly. Thats so sweet! Of course, Ill help you, Wildcard. But youre going to owe me a favor, buddy.

You got it, Ron smiled before walking back toward Kim and the family as Covergirl stepped up on the stage.

Care to dance? Ron offered his hand.

What are you up to? Kim asked with narrowed eyes and a smile.

Just wanted to dance, Ron smiled.

Hey, guys! Now for the special request for the evening This one goes out to my boy, Wildcard, and his lady, Kim Covergirl said as she strapped on a guitar.

Alright, then Kim blushed slightly as she gave Ron her hand, and they joined other couples out on the dance floor as the music began to play.

I thought you were trying to get our song from prom Kim commented as she recognized the intro music of one of her favorite songs.

Love that one, but I think this one suits the sitch more, Ron smiled as they began swaying and moving to the slower music.

What if I told you it was all meant to be?
Would you believe me? Would you agree?

You look good in uniform Kim whispered, slightly awkward.

Thank you Ron replied as they swayed.

Its almost that feeling that we’ve met before

So tell me that you dont think Im crazy

Ive missed you so much Ron forced out as they spun. But you were what I was fighting for. Youre what I was pushing to get to when we had to go through the desert. He confessed, causing Kim to flush but she didnt break eye contact.

When I tell you love has come, here and now

A Moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this.
Some people search forever, for that one special kiss.
Oh, I cant believe it’s happening to me.
Some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this.

This has been the longest few months of my life Kim replied as tears appeared in the corner of her eyes. But I know I know this is something you have to do. And I am so very proud of you right now

That means a lot, KP it was Rons turn to flush. I cant help but feel like everythings changing, and it’s not going back

Everything changes, but beauty remains.
Something so tender, I cant explain.

Kim looked at him questioningly with more than a hint of fear in her eyes. Were not what we used to be But thats life, ya know, no going back You either plunge forward or let everything pass you by

Well, I may be dreaming, but till I awake,

Can’t we make this dream last forever?

You can relax, Ron chuckled, Im not dumping you, he laughed when she turned bright red. See, you cant hide from me. Nobody knows you like I do he said, and she giggled as she felt him playing with her fingers.

Then, what are you getting at? Kim smiled and looked up at him with curious, trusting eyes.

And I’ll cherish all the love we share, for a moment like this.

I just I want to say, I love you. I always have, and I always will. No matter what happens to me or us, He confessed with more conviction than shed ever heard in his voice.

Could this be the greatest love of all?
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall.

And does that old saying still stand? Ron asked with a nervous smile. That you can do anything?

Duh, of course, Kim laughed, I am Kim Possible.

Meanwhile, the two sets of parents watched curiously. They look real serious out there Don Stoppable commented.

Ron is Dana said, placing a hand over her husbands as he held their adopted baby. His eyes widened when he noticed the engagement ring his mother gave him to give her missing from her hand.

So let me tell you this

Some people wait a lifetime for a moment

So, let me put that to the test, Ron replied, lifting her hand to eye level. What do you say, KP? Wanna give that ‘death do us part’ thing a shot?

Wha? Kim blanched before she noticed the small diamond ring on her finger. Ron?

Dad got that ring from grandma, gave it to my mom, so now Im continuing the tradition Ron said as he dropped to one knee. Kimberly Anne Possible will you marry me?

…like this

Kim stared in complete shock as tears filled her eyes and began to slide down her cheeks. Yes yes a hundred times, yes!

Some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this.
Some people search forever, for that one special kiss.

Kim heaved Ron up by the collar and devoured his mouth in the deepest kiss yet, which Ron happily returned. The song was almost drowned out by the applause.

Oh, I cant believe it’s happening to me.

I cant imagine anything making this better Ron whispered into her hair as they held onto one another.

Some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this

Kim and Ron returned to their families, fighting through the crowd of Joes and their family members shaking hands and patting their backs.

Kim was practically tackled by her mother, Bonnie, Monique, and Yori. Congratulations, Son, James said as Rons mother hugged him.

Throughout all this, Hana never took her eyes off the masked ninja.

Congrats, Wildcard! You too, Kim! Scarlett grinned as she walked up to the group with Snake Eyes carefully tailing her.

Thanks, they said together.

Jinx, Kim said quickly. You owe me a Hawaiian Honeymoon.

Brudder, Hana said out loud.

Whats the sitch, Hana? Ron glanced to the baby in his fathers arms, but to his surprise, she was staring directly at Snake Eyes.

Brudder! She said again, reaching for the ninja.

Uh oh Scarlett breathed.

Snake Eyes took a few steps back before turning toward the exit. BRUDDER! Hana bellowed jumping from her fathers arm and flipping through the air to land in a crouch. BRUDDER!! BRUDDER!!!

What the Scarlett goggled at the infant, who took off running after the ninja faster than many of the Joes.

Snake Eyes glanced over his shoulder and seemed visibly surprised to see the toddler gaining on him. With the grace and agility of a master ninja, he wall-jumped along the corner of the gym to land on one of the rafters, but saw that he was far from safe as the giggling child literally started running up the side of the wall.

What are you feedin that kid? Scarlett asked in amazement, watching the child go after the commando.

Snake Eyes tried to run along the rafter but was not fast enough before he was tackled by the giggling child and thrown off balance. He twisted in the air to take the brunt of the fall with the happy, laughing child safely in his arms. All present gasped and winced when Snake Eyes landed shoulders first onto the floor.

Eyes! Scarlett cried out as she and the Possibles and Stoppables led the group running to his aid. Are you ok? Scarlett asked, and Snake nodded his response.

Brudder Hana cooed happily, wrapped up in Snake Eyes arms.

Brudder? But I thought I was Brudder Ron scratched his head.

Snake Eyes glanced around the room in what seemed like panic before looking to Scarlett. You cant run anymore, Hon Scarlett gave a supportive smile. Time to fess up

I dont get it Mr. Stoppable looked around in confusion.

I think you guys need some privacy Duke said as he and Scarlett helped Snake Eyes off the floor. Gym locker rooms this way

The Possibles and Stoppables as well as Snake Eyes, Scarlett, and Duke entered the locker room. Ill try to keep it private Duke said as left the room and shut the door firmly behind him.

Whats going on, guys? Ron asked as Kim hugged his arm.

Snake Eyes has something important to tell you Scarlett said, glancing to Don, Dana, Ron, and Hana.

Scarlett turned to her lover, took his hand firmly in hers, and squeezed it affectionately. No matter what happens, Im right here and I ain’t goin nowhere. She whispered to the ninja.

Snake Eyes glanced around the room before his shoulders slumped and his head bowed. He let go of Scarletts hand, reached up, and first unsnapped the visor from his mask to place it in a protective pouch on his belt. Then, with trembling hands, he gripped his mask and pulled the covering from his face

I know, Roadblock didn’t talk in rhyme in the comics, but I always loved that in the cartoon growing up. Roadblock was one of my favorite Joes. Some questions have been answered, some still standing, and some not even asked yet. More to come!
