Kim didn't even pause. With what she had just found out about Ron and the way Mrs. Stoppable was cut off, there was no way Kim was going to take any chances. She dropped the phone when she failed to hear anything further and dashed out of the kitchen. She could hear her mother yelling after her as she dashed out the front door, but didn't pay it any heed. She could apologize later if she needed to.

She knew she must have been a sight as she dashed down the street at top speed, but she didn't care. It was a route she was more than familiar with, a route she had walked thousands of times in the time that she had known Ron. She knew every crack, every bump in the sidewalk, and nothing was going to get in her way.

The front door to the Stoppable house was closed, but that didn't stop Kim. She figured it had been less than four minutes since she had started her mad dash, and she hoped she was in time. Barreling into the door, it flew off it's hinges, and Kim landed on top of it, instantly alert to any sign of danger. She heard a scream, a female scream, upon entering, but it wasn't one she was expecting.

The scream had come from Bonnie, who looked absolutely terrified as she looked at Kim. On the sofa beside her, holding her, was Mrs. Stoppable. She appeared shocked, but not nearly as badly as Bonnie was.

Kim's eyes darted around, looking for any sign of danger. "What happened? Are you all right?"

"We were until you scared me like that!" Bonnie tone was harsh, but there was a crack to her voice that she hadn't heard since she and Tara found out about Ron and Bonnie's relationship.

Mrs. Stoppable held Bonnie closer, and the teen pressed against her, still shaking. "I'm sorry Kim, it was my fault. It was just Bonnie at the door, but the way she looked..."

Kim took in the scene on the couch, relaxing her stance. When she looked down at the door under her feet, Kim blushed deeply, realizing her mistake. "Uhh... sorry about the door Mrs. Stoppable.

She cast a quick glance at the fallen doorway, sighing softly. "Don't worry about the door, I'll get Gene to fix it when he gets home from his meeting."

Kim stepped off the door, picking it up and propping it up to fill the doorway. When she turned and approached the couch, she could see just what had shocked Mrs. Stoppable so much. Bonnie's hair was a mess and her eyes and nose were red from crying. Kim could also see the bruising on her left arm, with the definite imprint of fingers pressed very hard on flesh.

Kim knelt down in front of Bonnie, shocked. "Bonnie, what happened?"

Bonnie, over her initial fear, had started sobbing again. "My... my father..."

When Bonnie broke down again, Mrs. Stoppable hugged her tightly, the young teen quickly wrapping her arms around her seeking solace. The older woman frowned at Kim, her eyes hard. "That's all I've been able to get out of her so far, that and she wants Ron. It's obvious that... that monster did something to her."

Kim moved to pat moving on the back, then slowly rubbed it, trying to help. "Bonnie... can you tell us what happened?"

It took about ten minutes, with much crying and sobbing in between words, but eventually Bonnie was able to relate everything her father had told her. Every hurtful comment, every admission of guilt, everything. Both Kim and Jean were incensed by the end.

Kim's hands were clenched by her sides as she rose to her feet. "That... that..."

"Kim, settle down." Mrs. Stoppable placed a comforting hand on Kim's arm, even though she was clearly angry herself. "Nothing you can say right now will help one bit, so calm down."

"Calm down?" Kim was almost incredulous. "We should be going to the police. He should be arrested."

"Yes, he should, but all the police would have would be Bonnie's word. If Lonnie hasn't said anything by now, it's probably because her father has got her too scared to do anything." Mrs. Stoppable paused to hug Bonnie gently. "He probably thought it would work on Bonnie too. We need more proof before we can do anything. Until then, Bonnie can stay here with us to keep her safe." Mrs. Stoppable paused, and then smirked lightly. "A separate bedroom will be enforced though. No sneaking into Ronnie's room in the middle of the night."

Bonnie looked suitably shocked at the implication until she realized the older woman was just teasing her. Even Kim giggled slightly. It seemed to cheer Bonnie up a bit, especially the part about being able to stay with them, since she really didn't want to go home.

Wiping her eyes, she glanced around briefly, trying to compose herself. "So... where is Ron? I thought he was going to be home tonight."

Kim and Mrs. Stoppable shared a brief look, wincing. It was Kim who decided to answer. "Bonnie... just before you got here, I found out Ron had been kidnapped by Drakken and Shego."

"WHAT?" Bonnie was on her feet, all her problems forgotten in an instant. "Then what are you doing here talking to me? Why aren't you out there getting him back?"

Kim moved quickly to reassure the distraught teen. "Bonnie, Ron will be fine. Drakken gave me a deadline, and he never breaks those."

Bonnie looked at Kim incredulously. "Are you kidding?"

Kim shrugged. "It's in the villain's code or something."

"Villain's code?" Bonnie glanced at Ron's mother before turning back to Kim. "That has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard."

"I know, but it will keep Ron safe until I can get there and save him."

Bonnie locked eyes with Kim, her expression firm. "Don't you mean until WE save him?"

Kim's eyes widened slightly, even as she watched Bonnie wipe the remaining tears from her eyes. "Bonnie, I don't think that would be such a good idea. I think you should just..."

"DON'T!" Bonnie's hands were clenched at her sides, anger spilling off her in waves. "Don't you tell me what I can and cannot do. Don't you dare tell me to sit here while the best thing... the only thing in my life left is trapped and being held by those crazy freaks. I'm going and that's final!"

Kim took a moment to think about it before let out a slow breath. "All right Bonnie, you can come." For the first time since arriving, Kim saw Bonnie smile. "But..." Kim held her finger up to make her point, "you have to do what I say or I leave you in the plane. Got it?"

"I've got it." Bonnie was quick to agree.

"All right then. I have an extra change of clothes up in Ron's room." At the sidelong glance, Kim smiled. "I am over here pretty often, it only makes sense to have a mission outfit here. Ron has one at my place as well. And don't forget to grab Rufus, he should be sleeping up in Ron's room."

With a final nod, Bonnie headed upstairs to change. Mrs. Stoppable watched her go and then turned to Kim, a concerned look on her face. "Are you sure it's such a good idea to have Bonnie go with you? She's still pretty fragile."

"I think she'll be fine. Besides, it's probably better to give her something to do rather than just sit here and worry." Kim was checking through her spare bag she kept at Ron's, making sure she had everything they'd need without having to make a stop at her house on the way to the airport. "Plus, I do know she can handle herself, she did when we ran into Gill that second time at Camp Wannaweep. If she can free Ron while I deal with Shego, we'll have them outnumbered."

Mrs. Stoppable surprised Kim by pulling her into a hug. "You two be careful, and bring my little boy home."

Bonnie shuddered as she glanced up at the disappearing plane. She had just skydived for the first time in her life and it was a lot scarier than she had imagined. The sensation of throwing yourself out of a plane with only fabric and nylon to stop you from crashing into the ground was one of the scariest things she had ever done. It was even worse than the hang gliding or the bungee jumping she had done with Ron when she had gone on that mission with him. Of course, it might have been worse because Ron wasn't there with her. Just his being there made everything seem so much easier and comfortable, even if she was still scared.

Bonnie felt a hand on her arm and turned to see a concerned looking Kim. "Bonnie, are you all right?"

"Yeah, just..." Bonnie cast one last look at the plane as it faded from view completely, "I was just wishing that I could have been with Ron during that jump."

Kim lay a comforting hand on Bonnie's arm, smiling faintly. "We'll get him back, I promise."

Bonnie blinked rapidly, clearing her eyes before a tear could spring forth. "All right then, what do we do?" She looked up, her eyes following along the height of the cliff to the imposing castle up at the top. "I mean, is there a secret passage we can take? Or maybe rock climb up and over the walls and drop in from above on them?"

"Nope." Kim smirked with a bit of self-satisfaction. "I figured we'd take the front door."

Bonnie turned quickly, her shock evident. "Are you crazy?"

Kim just smiled confidently. "Nope. Drakken never traps this place, I think because he tends to forget where he places them and he uses this place a lot. With his henchmen gone and only Shego, we should have no problem getting to him before he figures out we're here early."

And that was something Kim was pretty confident about. Drakken had called while they were in the air already, and Wade had provided a nice background to make it look like Kim was still at home. He had even managed to work a Tweebs experiment into the background to make it all the more realistic. That had been only twenty minutes ago and Wade hadn't detected anyone leaving the lair.

Kim led Bonnie to the base of the mountain and through the lower door, they're target set. Drakken and Shego were going to regret kidnapping Ron.

"Why won't you just tell me your passwords?"

Ron, bound to the wall, just shook his head. "Nope, not gonna tell you."

Drakken by this point was beyond frustrated. "Please? I promise I'll let you go if you tell me?" Drakken's tone was almost pleading at this point.

Ron paused as if considering what would be the two hundredth request by this point, then just smiled. "Nope, sorry."

Drakken let out a scream of frustration, a scream that caught Shego's attention as she re-entered the room. "Are you STILL trying to get his account passwords from him?"

Drakken fell to his knees, holding his head in his hands. "I just can't get him to give me the information I want. I have tried everything I can think of and nothing. Nothing!"

Shego just shook her head, throwing herself into one of the chairs and picking up her magazine. "Yeah, I have to say I'm impressed. I figured the buffoon would have cracked after the first hour of your whining."

"Shego!" Drakken grumbled briefly before an idea hit him. He scuttled on his knees to beside Shego, looking up at her with baleful, pleading eyes. "Shego, perhaps you could... maybe... try and get the passwords yourself?"

Shego looked down at Drakken with a bit of disgust, but sighed, rising to her feet. "Fine, but I don't want to hear you whine for at least a week after this."

"Deal." Drakken leapt eagerly to his feet, rubbing his hands in anticipation. "Now buffoon, we'll get that information from you now."

Shego rolled her eyes, but approached Ron, raising one hand and lighting it. "All right, let's get this over with. Are you going to give me your passwords or..."

"I don't have them."

Shego paused, but it was Drakken who seemed the most stunned. "What do you mean you don't have them?"

Ron's smile never wavered. "I mean it was my Dad who set it all up. I don't even know where all the money is right now."

Drakken was flabbergasted. "But... but... it's your money?"

Ron's expression fell slightly, but not much. "Yeah, but I don't think I would have done well with it if I had control of it all myself. I tend to get a little..." Ron paused, trying to think of a word that would apply and coming up blank, "umm... not sure what the word I'm looking for is, but I don't know how well I would have handled it myself. So I asked my Dad to handle it all."

Drakken fell back into one of the chairs, looking lost. "So we grabbed the wrong Stoppable?"

Ron's smile returned quickly. "Yup."

Shego turned back to Ron with a chagrined expression on her face. "You listened through all of Drakken's pleading and whining JUST to tweak him?" When Ron nodded, her smile broadened. "I think I like you a whole lot more now."

"Shego," Drakken looked deeply offended, "stop fraternizing with the enemy."

"Yeah, especially since that's MY boyfriend!"

All three heads turned to see Kim and Bonnie standing in the doorway, neither one looking all that happy. Shego let out a groan, shaking her head. "Did you just leave the door open for them?"

"No." Drakken crossed his arms in front of him, then slowly let them drop. "I might have... maybe... left it unlocked... just a little."

Shego shook her head, leaning against the wall beside Ron. "You see what I have to put up with sometimes?"

Ron nodded sympathetically with her. "I see, I see. You know, if you worked for us..."

"Ron," Kim stared at him crossly. "we are NOT hiring Shego."

Shego just smirked, moving away from the wall to get ready to fight. "Don't worry, I wouldn't have accepted anyways." Shego gave Ron one last appraising look. "Now maybe girlfriend, so I can get my hands on all that money..."

"That's MY boyfriend!" Bonnie's voice was sharp and carried through the room loudly. "You won't TOUCH my boyfriend." As she was speaking, Bonnie advanced swiftly on the villainess, much to everyone's shock.

Even Shego seemed taken aback, uncertain of what to do. "Uhh... what is she doing Princess?"

Kim took a step forward, though she knew she'd never catch up to the brunette. "I don't..."

"YOU STOLE MY BOYFRIEND!" With a roar, Bonnie charged forward, tackling Shego before she could respond, bringing her down quickly to the floor.

Kim watched in shock and awe, with only one thing running through her mind. "This is SO the drama."

Author's Notes – Next... Bonnie versus Shego for... yeah, okay, so that won't last long. How about this... Shego versus Kim!
