A/N: Hi everyone! This is my third Kim Possible story, and I hope you like it. Constructive criticism really helps me in my writing, so if you think anything needs to be changed, or you don't like part of it, please don't hesitate to tell me. Please read and review.
Summary: Filled with new-found emotions, Kim realizes that her crime-fighting days are over. During the summer before college, Kim is training her brothers to become fellow freak-fighters. Then, the unthinkable happens one day near the end of summer. How could the girl who claimed she could do anything lose everything in just a matter of minutes? Read to find out.
Kim Possible: A New Beginning
Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him fall. The steep mountain had very little footing, but she thought her brothers were ready for this after many months of training. Without really thinking, Kim Possible drew her grappler from the pouch in her belt and shot out the hook, leaping off the surface of the mountain after her fourteen-year-old brother, Jim. As she neared the middle of the drop, Kim realized she was running out of rope, and the daring, nineteen-year-old red-head let go and dropped faster than before. Just a few feet away from her brother, Kim reached out, grabbed his foot, and pulled him into a bear hug. She hit the ground first, on her back, with Jim on top of her, and as soon as she knew they were safe, she began sobbing. Not for the pain though; she had felt worse, but for her brother and the fear she had felt as she watched him trip and fall off the mountain. She held him tightly and only let go to turn over and vomit into the grass beneath her.
Jim was scared. He had never seen Kim like this before. He watched her get up shakily, and he helped her keep her balance until she slipped down onto her knees. Pain shot through her back and legs, and she grabbed her head in a dizzy spell. Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks. If the pain had been minor before, now it was unbearable. Jim caught her head as she fainted, and placed it gently in the grass.
He grabbed her Kimmunicator, and turned it on finding no signal. He realized she had disconnected it before the mission and, after rerouting a few wires, got hooked up with Wade Load, super genius. If Wade couldn't do anything about the sitch, no one could.
Up on the mountain, Tim, Jim's twin brother, was getting worried. He decided to start heading down and grabbed Kim's grappler's rope to descend from the mountain top. As he neared the end of the rope, Tim found a sturdy ledge to stand on while he pulled the other end of the rope, and grappler, which was disguised as a hairdryer, up to him. After pushing a button to retract the rope and hook, he jumped from the mountain, pushed another button which made the hook and rope shoot out, and lodged the hook in another rock near where he had just been standing. 'I'm glad our first lesson was how to use these things,' Tim thought. 'I really need to thank Kim for that.'
When Tim touched ground, he retracted the rope and turned around. He knew something was wrong right away when he saw his brother sitting with his face buried into his knees beside Kim who was laying down and very pale. "Jim!" he cried as he ran over to where they were. "What happened?"
The paramedics arrived just as Jim had finished telling the story. Both boys solemnly climbed into the ambulance after their sister was put on. They were afraid of what their parents would say and of what Ron, Kim's boyfriend, would think. Neither talked on the way to the hospital, and when they got there, their parents were in the waiting room. Apparently, Wade had gotten hold of them. The twins ran into their parents' open arms, both comforted that they were there. All four sat down and waited for news about Kim.
A/N: Well, I hope you liked it so far. I know Kim seems a little OOC, but you have to remember that saving the world was something she had become accustomed to. Giving up something you've become so used to is never easy, but in the wise words of a certain baboon (sorry Ron) "Change is good". Or is it? Well, if you're still reading, please review my story. I want at least two reviews or I won't update. I need to know that someone is reading this story. Thanks!
