Episode 14: Learn to be Supportive
(Honestly, I hope I did Kim justice. She is the hardest one for me to write, because she is the opposite of me and a character that I did not relate to as often. She is a great character! I love her and how strong and capable she is! I just don't relate to her and that's fine! Enjoy!)
Randy was sleeping in his room on the third floor of in a peaceful and enjoying his moment of peace until someone was knocking on the door. He groaned as he marched to the door and rubbed his eyes.
"Hello?" he asked with a yawn before realizing who it was, "Kim! What are you doing here?! It is 6 in the morning and my day off!"
"This is the place where Sitch is" Kim answered simply, "We agreed to keep it here, so can I please meet with it?"
Randy noticed her worried expressions and stepped to the side.
He walked up to the kitchen and asked, "Do you want anything to eat or drink?"
"Got any tea?" Kim asked worriedly, "Please and thank you"
"Sure thing" Randy said with a yawn as he went to splash water some water on his face and prepare drinks and meals for them to share.
Kim closed and locked the door as she then walked to the basement to grab Sitch. She sat down and opened the book before falling unconscious to the ground. She fell into the empty field where she was standing alone until she heard a familiar laugh.
"Ah Miss Possible" Rose greeted warmly, "What brings you here?"
"A lot of stuff" Kim answered, "Is the elemental power of earth always the leader?"
She sat down on the earthy ground as she looked up at the plain sky. Rose carefully sat next to her and pondered on this.
"No" she admitted, "There have been elemental masters of earth that have not been the leader"
"So, should I be?" Kim asked in defeat, "I am not exactly doing a good job of being one lately"
Rose remained quiet as she waited for Kim to speak her mind.
"My friends have been learning more useful skills and important lessons without me. I am not sure if I should be even leading the team. They seem to be fine without me leading them. I am just here" Kim answered as she placed her hand on the ground to feel the dirt and earth.
Rose took a pile of dirt and then looked around themselves.
"What do you think when you hear the word "earth" and "dirt"?" Rose asked honestly as she was staring at a tree and the river in the distance.
"Oh, stubbornness, strong, defense, and my home" Kim answered unsure of what her teacher was going to do.
"Right, but you forgot the most important word" Rose said with a wink as Kim looked at her, "Support"
"Support?" Kim asked unsure.
"Yes, supporting your friends and those you care about will always be the truth of the elemental power of earth" Rose said with a grin, "I always supported my friends and those I care about until the end. I am sure you'll find that support. However, that support should also be fair to you. They need to support you as well"
Kim glanced to Rose as she held a warm expression. Rose patted her head and then let Kim return to her world. Kim gasped as she sat up while Randy was sitting next to her and holding a teacup to her with fresh tea.
"So, how'd it go?" Randy asked as he began to eat his breakfast which was a bowl of cereal.
"I have to be the support and receive it too" Kim answered unsure as she took a sip from the tea.
"Yeah, I've got nothing" Randy confessed as he rubbed his eyes, "But I am sure you will figure it out. You're the smartest person I know as well as the most... understanding"
Kim raised a brow at him as he yawned.
"Well, you listen to us and react to whatever the situation needs which cannot be easy. Sure, I get along with Star, Lapis is a cool gal, but Danny and I don't always see eye-to-eye. Yet, you somehow find a way to make sure we work together" Randy answered, "Even though we both don't know how you do it"
Kim grinned at her teacup and thanked him as he fell asleep against the basement's couch. Kim laughed at his sleepy form and took his bowl of cereal before helping lay Randy on the couch to sleep some more. She the quietly put her tea in the sink and then took his house key. He left the window open and then went to close the door. She locked it and threw the key back into the flat and closed it.
"Thanks Randy" she said with a grin and then left his townhome to meet with Ron and Vanessa to discuss how they were going to save Dr. Doof.
She walked into Nosh Olé Café and sat at a booth for herself. She ordered a glass of water and salad for herself as she waited for them to arrive. She was on her phone and tried to do some research on Dr. Doof, but she couldn't find anything on him.
"Is he that hard to track?" she whispered to herself.
"Yo! KP" Ron greeted warmly as he waved his hand and joined her, "You ok? You seemed lost in thought there"
"I'm fine. I am just thinking about Dr. Doof and how I can save him" Kim answered as she took another sip from her drink.
"Uh, correction, KP, you mean we" Ron pointed out after he ordered a plate of nachos.
"Why a correction?" Kim asked as she tilted her head to the side.
"We! You, me, your teammates, Wade, and Vanessa!" Ron exclaimed as his plate of nachos was delivered to him, "We are in this together! No one or the other! All of us!"
Kim smiled softly at him as he began to stuff his face with nachos. She loved the sentiment he gave her just as Vanessa approached them. She sat next to Ron and ordered a drink for herself. She gave Ron a weird expression as she saw him stuffing his face.
"Just make sure there is a gap between you and him" Kim advised her as Kim handed Vanessa a napkin, "So, do you have anything on your father that could help us?"
Vanessa took out a folder from her bag and handed it to Kim. Kim took the folder and noticed the list of documents and achievements that her father had accomplished in his life. Kim noticed some of these achievements were mainly good and could benefit others. It confused her as to why Dr. Doof would now cause harm to others.
"He was not as bad a dad" Vanessa said worriedly, "Sure, he was an odd person, but he was always looking after me when I was growing up. I don't understand this"
Ron cleaned his hand with a napkin and patted Vanessa's shoulder.
"Don't worry. That's why we are here" Kim reassured Vanessa warmly, "We will do everything we can to help save your father. If you believe your father is really evil behind this, then we will save him. Now, we need to come up with an idea on how to save him"
"Oh! I've got it! What if we get Vanessa into trouble?!" Ron suggested as both girls glared at him, "But before you get angry, Vanessa is his daughter, right? When my little sister, Hana, was adopted into my family, my father loved her above all else. Dr. Doof should have the same reaction with Vanessa!"
Kim had to admit it, that was a good plan from him.
"That could actually work" Kim said as Vanessa looked at her in horror, "Don't worry, I will not let anything happen to you. You just have to talk with him and find out why he is doing this"
Vanessa raised a brow as Ron held a thumbs up. She sighed and shook her head at them.
"Fine, but you better not let anything happen to me. I have to go to work just like you two do" Vanessa said to them seriously until she asked curiously, "But how are we going to get my dad to show up?"
Ron grinned as he finished his nachos and answered proudly, "Leave that to me!"
They were soon standing at a busy street in their city. Ron was looking quite impressed with himself while Vanessa and Kim starred at him in disbelief.
"You want me to STAND IN TRAFFIC?!" Vanessa exclaimed as she gestured to it.
"He's got to come here and save you!" Ron exclaimed warmly, "And if not, then Kim will just rush in and save you"
Vanessa and Kim shared a concerned expression before sighing. Vanessa looked at Kim who gave her a somewhat hopeful expression.
"He's not wrong. If anything happens, I will protect you from harm" Kim promised her friend.
Vanessa sighed as she glanced from side to side of the busy street. She was about to take a step into the street, but she pulled back and shook her head.
"No, I will not do this! I will not disturb traffic. We need a different approach to this!" Vanessa shouted very unsure about this.
Ron disagreed as the two of them began to argue with each other. Kim was looking at them. She wanted to support both of her friends, but she wasn't sure how she could. Maybe they needed another approach. She took a step back and went to an alleyway to transform into her heroine form. She then turned back to them and held out her hands to them.
"Spy?! What are you doing here?!" Ron asked as he jumped at the site of her.
Before she could answer, Vanessa got an idea.
"What if my father appears because of Spy?" Vanessa suggested.
"Hang on, I do not hurt others" Spy pointed out seriously, "I save and help others"
"I understand that, so just save me" Vanessa said with a grin, "My father could never stand it when others were there for me. I am sure he will turn up when he sees you helping me"
Spy and Ron were surprised to hear this from her, but she was fine with this then it was ok. Spy then held out her hands as she shrugged. Vanessa leaned back and fell into Spy's arms. Ron then took out his phone to take a picture and posted it on his social media page to spread the news that the Spy had saved the day again.
The villains were resting in the basement of their building and working on their own areas to prepare themselves against the heroes again. Julian was reading texts as he is conjuring his lightning to strike a few targets. Tom was going over the new bank records and loans. Ones that did not satisfy their requirements were burnt to a crisp in his hands. Gideon was using his magic to create new ideas to bride his loyal customers with. Dr. Doof was preparing new inventions that could fight against the heroes and heroines. Julian was checking his phone as he noticed a message trending again about the heroes and heroines saving the day again. However, Julian was surprised to see the person in the photo was Dr. Doof's daughter.
"Excuse me, Doctor Doof, but do you have a moment?" Julian asked as he checked on the message and clicked on the photo of the Spy with Doctor Doof's daughter.
"Sure, creepy kid, what's up?" Dr. Doof asked as he screwed a bolt to a robot and lifted his goggles.
Julian giggled as he held his phone out to the doctor and waited. Dr. Doof adjusted his eyes and looked at it before letting out a surprised yell. He grabbed his hair with his left hand and pointed at the phone with his right.
"Why are you screaming?" Tom asked annoyed as he walked up to them, "You just paid your college debt"
He leaned over Dr. Doof's shoulder, looks at the phone, and lets out a "huh". Gideon was curious too and decided to look over Dr. Doof's other shoulder and see the image.
"What are you going to do about it?" Gideon asked as he egged the doctor on.
"Well, not much" Dr. Doof confessed as he calmed down and went back to work.
"Why not?" Tom asked surprised.
"She saved my daughter" Dr. Doof answered simply, "As long as she is not hurt, then that is fine with me. I may not like that my enemies did save her, but they kept her safe"
Tom and Gideon disagreed as Julian tilted his head from side to side about that. Julian returned to his phone until he found another image of the Spy accidentally dropping Vanessa on the ground.
"So, if the heroine dropped your daughter, would you react?" Julian asked with a malicious grin.
"Yeah, probably why?" Dr. Doof asked with a shrug as Julian held out his phone before him again.
The doctor glanced at the phone and back to his robot. He blinked, looked back at the phone, and then let out a frustrated yell.
"How dare they! They will pay for harming my precious little girl! Doof Bots to me!" Dr. Doof ordered as he raised his hand and ordered the robots to march.
Dr. Doof then used his powers to change into his villain form to then marching right after them. Tom and Gideon were watching the doctor leave as Julian let out a chuckle.
"This should be good" Julian snickered as he glanced to Tom and Gideon.
Spy apologized to Vanessa as she reassured the Spy that she was fine.
"Did you get it?" Vanessa asked as she looked at Ron.
"Yeah and posted it. It is already gaining popularity" Ron answered with a nod of his head.
Vanessa stood up and glanced at the phone until she saw the two photos. She was fine with the first one where Spy was holding her, but she wasn't too pleased about the second image of Spy accidentally dropping her when the camera flashed.
"Did you have to use two?" Spy asked annoyed.
"Kids need to know that heroines can make mistakes too!" Ron answered with a nod of his head.
Spy shook her head at them until they felt the ground shake. Ron and Vanessa were pushed to the ground by Spy as she looked around for the source of the shake. She shouted for the people to get away until she saw the robots before her! She held her fists as the Scientist was riding on of them.
"Ok, Ron, you're plan worked a little too well if he gathered all of the robots" Spy whispered slightly annoyed.
"Ah, Spy, how unexpected we cross paths again, and by expected, I mean completely expected!" the Scientist shouted as he pointed at her, "Get her and bring her to me!"
Spy sighed as the robots were surrounding her and prepared to fire lasers at her! She slammed her feet on the ground to make the earth rise to then latch onto her body for protection. She could withstand some of the lasers, but she knew she couldn't last forever.
"I want her alive!" Scientist ordered seriously, "Especially since we need that bracelet of hers. I want to make my wish too"
Spy slammed her other feet to make the earth rise and have her look down on the robots.
"Alright, now how am I going to defeat all of you at once to then capturing the Scientist?" she whispered as she tried to think of a plan.
The robots then rammed themselves against her pillar of earth to try and knock her off! She struggled to support the pillar and keep it from falling apart.
"Hm, it seems like she's struggling" Scientist noted as he then clapped his hands to only having the robots look at him.
Spy tried to make sure the pillar didn't collapse, but the robots jumped on top of her pillar and faced her! She sighed as she moved her hair out of his face and held up her fists. She slammed her hands on the pillar to make the earth fall from her and attack the robots coming towards her. She punched a robot coming towards her.
"Ok, I can handle this" she encouraged herself as she then swiftly kicked a robot coming towards her from behind.
Ron was covering his head with his hands as Vanessa looked up at the pillar. She could see the pillar breaking apart from the robots. She could see Spy shaking as she tried to fight the robots coming for her.
"We have to help her!" Vanessa shouted as she picked herself up and then ran towards her dad.
"Wait!" Ron shouted as he tried to reach out for her until he screamed and ran from the robots coming towards him, "I am too young to die!"
He ran down the street until he felt something zap throughout his body as Witch flew right pass him! He gasped as she let out a hearty yell and swung her wand to strike the robot down! Ron hit the ground and hugged his head to take cover from the attack.
"Are you ok?" Phantom asked as he held out his hand to Ron.
Ninja landed behind Phantom as Siren landed behind Witch.
"Please tell us what happened" Phantom asked as he faced Ron.
"We were trying to find a way to save Vanessa's dad, but things sort of took a turn the worst" Ron answered as he rubbed the back of his head nervously.
The rest of the Sparks were surprised by this as Ninja asked confused, "But why would she do this alone? She's the leader, sure, but she also knows we are team and friends. We help each other out!"
"Unless something else happens" Siren asked as she glanced to Ron and their team.
"You got something Siren?" Witch asked curiously as she tilted her head to her.
Siren wasn't entirely sure, but Ron suggested with a shrug, "She did mention something about support"
"Support?" Phantom asked as he glanced to Ninja.
Ninja shrugged at him until they saw the robots shaking the ground and trying to knock her off the pillar.
"It doesn't matter now. We have to help her!" Ninja shouted as he spun his scarf and tied it against a streetlight.
He pulled himself up and landed on the platform behind Spy. Spy coated her right leg with earth and swiftly kicked at Ninja who ducked just in time.
He raised his hands up in defeat as he said in a panicked tone, "Hey! It is me, remember? A good friend who gets himself into trouble, got a girlfriend despite the odds, and always pranks Phantom?"
Spy relaxed until the pillar was shaking again! Ninja spun his scarf and held out his hand to Spy.
"This isn't going to hold. We have to go" Ninja said as he was expecting Spy to grab his hand.
He turned to look at her and was surprised to see her just starring at his hand.
"Uh, we should leave before this comes apart right under our feet" Ninja said as she continued to look at it, "My Okaasan said to always treat ladies and those who identify as such with respect, but I am also sure they would not want us to die here. Sorry Spy!"
Ninja grabbed her hand and jumped off the pillar as it collapsed. He swung themselves away and was able to gently land Spy on the ground. He continued to swing and landed on top of a streetlamp. Spy blinked a couple of times until she saw the robots coming towards her! She didn't have time to react and just prepared to take the attack.
"Heads up!" Phantom shouted as he flew pass her and slammed his feet on the ground to make a wall of ice appear between them and the robots!
Spy sighed in relief as Witch then flew above the wall of ice with her wand above her head. The wand was gathering electricity and growing stronger too. The robots continued to throw themselves at the wall of ice as she simply cast her lightning at them. The robots looked up at her surprised.
"Shocked to see us?" Witch taunted as she stood there with a grin.
"Spy are you ok? We came as soon as we saw the fight" Phantom informed her as he looked over his right shoulder to look at her.
She looked at them as they stood at either side. She was panting heavily and fell. This surprised everyone as they looked at her. Witch jumped from the wall of ice and landed next to Spy as Ninja stood beside Phantom.
"Hey, are you ok?" Witch asked calmly as she gently placed a hand on her shoulder.
"No, I didn't think this through at all" Spy answered as she hugged her arms, "I thought I could handle this. I am the leader. I should be able to handle this. I'm sorry"
Everyone was kind of speechless at her state and simply waited for her to explain her feelings to them.
"I wanted to be the best leader I can be to you all" Spy explained as she let her arms fall to the ground, "Lately, you've done everything well without me. I was questioning if I should be a leader to all of you"
The team looked at each other and then her. Siren landed before Phantom as she cast a wave of water to knock down the incoming robots.
"Well, you're right" Siren answered plainly, "We have figured out a few things without your guide"
Spy looked down as Witch glared at Siren.
"But that doesn't stop you from being the leader to us" Siren further explained, "You do support us with everything we do. However, that does not make you invincible either. You need to lean on us. Let us support you as well"
Spy glanced at her and then to Witch who's expression changed from anger to a joy.
She looked at Spy with the brightest grin to reassure her, "Yeah! You always do everything by yourself and put yourself in harms for us. We can help out too and carry your troubles too. You're not alone"
Ninja raised his fist in the air as he shouted in delight, "I agree too! You were always helping us and even making sure we are safe. Come on, we are a team. We should help each other out"
Phantom nodded his head in agreement as he said with a smile, "You are the smartest person we know too, but you should be able to lean on us as well. We lean on you, so let us return the favor"
Spy slowly smiled at her friends. She slowly rose with Witch's help. They were looking at the wall of ice while Siren was still controlling the water to have it wash over the robots continuously.
"I could freeze the water over" Phantom told Siren, "That way, the robots will not be able to move"
"And then I can zap them!" Witch said as she slammed her wand into her open palm hand.
"I can swing Spy towards the Scientist, so she can reach and reason with him" Ninja finished as he grinned to Spy.
"That sounds like a plan I can get behind" Spy answered as Siren went first.
Siren waved her hands to create a wave of water to wash over all the robots. She made sure the water pulled the robots into it and did continuous damage.
"Phantom, you're up" Siren ordered as Phantom ran to the water and placed his hands in the water.
"Ok, just think of the impending doom a society faces when it doesn't listen to the masses of the people" Phantom whispered as his hands were becoming colder.
He let out a yell as he froze the entire water and trapped the robots in it. Witch then flew above the ice and slide across it with her wand in hand. She slammed her wand on the ice and sent a powerful, electrical shockwave throughout the water.
"Time to shut you down!" Witch declared as she sent the shockwave.
The Scientist grabbed his head and let out a wail of defeat, "No! How dare you! I can't believe you defeated my entire army of robots!"
Ninja wrapped his scarf around another streetlamp as Spy grabbed his hand. He pulled themselves upward and towards the Scientist. He threw the Spy right at him. Scientist screamed as he raised his hands and waited for her to fight him. Instead, she stood up and held her hand out to him. He blinked at her hand and then at her in utter confusion.
"What? Why?" he asked in a bewildered tone "I've been literally trying to destroy you since the day we've met"
"Yes, but I know someone close to you who is suffering seeing you like this" Spy answered, "She wants to save you from this chaotic situation you've put yourself in"
The Scientist lowered his hands and just sat down.
"Who asked for me? My ex-wife is doing well, but my goody two shoes big brother is the mayor of a small town. My best friend was a balloon who recently popped" the Scientist said as he continued to list a bunch of individuals who were in his life except for his daughter.
"What about your daughter?" Spy asked in a bewildered tone.
He stopped listing people and was quiet. He looked down and sighed.
"Vanessa's doing well. She's got a high paying job and a bunch of friends" he said with a sad yet happy expression, "She's enjoying the life I wanted to have, but I couldn't due to a lot of traumatic backstories in my life. Is she the one who wanted you to check on me?"
He seemed confused by that, but he was also very pleased talking about his daughter.
"Then, why are you doing this?" Spy asked confused as she tried to understand him.
He sighed as he looked down and confessed, "You want to know why I wanted to make a wish, correct? Well, I wanted to wish for was peace and care for my family. I know my ex-wife isn't too fond of me, but if I can give my daughter a life of joy and happiness without worry, then my wish is worth it"
The heroes and heroines were touched by his wish. He only wanted to help his daughter.
"But then why all of the robots?" Ron asked bewildered.
"Well, I have to stop these five heroes and heroines" the Scientist answered simply, "If I defeat you, I get my wish. It is a simple as that"
The heroes and heroines looked at each other before Ninja asked as he scratched the back of his hood, "Do you mean defeat as in "knocking us out" or defeat as in "ending our lives"? Because it feels like you are trying to end our lives"
The Scientist raised a hand, then lowered it, and left his mouth agape.
"I suppose you do have a point" he confessed as he then looked at them, "But that does explain why I was paid so much"
"How much?" Phantom asked curiously as Siren smacked his shoulder.
"Dad!" Vanessa shouted as she rushed and embraced him in relief.
"Vanessa! How did you find me out?" Scientist asked as he held his daughter and checked on her.
She glanced to the heroes and heroines before explaining, "I asked them for help since I was working with them at my job. They're my friends and have worked with me since I arrived here. They were the ones who supported me with my choice to find and save you"
He was speechless at his daughter and grinned. He gently ruffled her hair as she smiled.
"It seems like my wish came true" he said in relief as he looked up at the heroes and heroines, "Thank you for looking after her for me. Though, I should probably renounce being a villain and trying to unalive you"
"Unalive?" Witch asked confused as she tilted her head to the side, "I don't think that's a real word"
"Won't stop me from saying it" Ninja whispered as Siren smacked his side.
Scientist and Vanessa stood up as they grinned at the heroes and heroines.
"Thank you" the Scientist said in relief as he reached for Spy's hand.
As they were about to shake hands, until there was an incoming, familiar wave of heat. Ninja and Phantom reacted first as they rushed to try and save Vanessa and Scientist! Ninja was able to grab Vanessa, but Scientist pushed Phantom back as the heat trapped him!
"Dad!" Vanessa shouted as she reached her out her hand to her dad.
Ninja held her back as Inferno and Wizard appeared before the heroes and heroines. Wizard turned to the Scientist as he shook his head while Inferno was facing the heroes and heroines.
"You're not getting our fourth member so easily" he stated as Witch gripped her wand.
She charged forward and prepared to slam her wand against him, but he summoned his claymore to stop her attack! She didn't stop, but he didn't surrender. Ninja ran towards the Wizard who flicked his hand to cast a bolt of lightning at them. Ninja stopped as Wizard glared at him.
"Inferno, we are ready" Wizard answered as Inferno pushed Witch back!
Witch was surprised and then tried again. Inferno stood behind Wizard who conjured up a powerful teleportation spell to whisk them away. Vanessa sighed in defeat as she sat down behind them. They turned to her, mostly unsure of what to do next.
Spy stepped up and answered, "Let's head back to the flat. Ninja and Witch can prepare some food for us. Phantom, Siren, and I can take Ron and Vanessa there"
The teammates listened to her and carried out their orders. They returned to the flat and were sitting in silence. They weren't pleased with how this day turned out and didn't know what they could even say to lighten the mood. Kim looked at her glass of water and then nodded to herself. She stood in front of everyone and prepared to help them.
"Hey, everyone, I know today didn't go exactly like how we though it would, but that doesn't mean we should let this loss hurt us too much" she spoke as she looked at her friends who were staring at her, "For now, we can feel hurt, but let's not make it ruin our rest of the night"
Her teammates nodded to themselves and her as they slowly began to smile and grin at each other. Vanessa was still looking sad and holding herself as she was sitting down with her back to the couch.
"And don't worry, Vanessa" Kim reassured her as she sat in front of her friend, "We will save your father. I promised you we would"
Vanessa raised her head and smiled at her warmly, "Thank you, Kim, everyone. That means a lot. I will also do everything I can to help as well. He is my dad"
Her friends gave an encouraging smile and expression to Vanessa warmly. With that, they enjoyed a nice night together and tomorrow they would plan to find a way to save her father. Kim smiled to herself as she understood Rose's lesson. Just as she supported her friends, they supported her. With her confidence as a leader restored, Kim knew she could lead her team and support their town from anything that comes their way.
"Ah! Give me a break! She is my daughter!" Dr. Doof said as he raised his hands in defeat and fell in his chair.
"And what about the heroes and heroines who were standing before you?" Tom asked annoyed, "What were they doing?"
At that statement, Dr. Doof remained quiet. He really couldn't talk himself out of that.
"At least we know what will keep you working with us" Julian threatened as he held a malicious expression, "If you don't want anything to happen to your daughter, then you will defeat the heroes and heroines with us"
"You wouldn't dare!" Dr. Doof said in an angered tone as he glared at the young adult.
He looked at Tom, Julian, and Gideon who were each holding malicious expressions. Dr. Doof sighed in defeat and promised to help them defeat the heroes and heroines. He looked at the floor and hoped that the heroes and heroines will do everything they can to stop them from causing any harm to their city and those they care about.
