8: Biomechanics 211 — How to Flex Strong Muscles

"Kim, you're incredible. I don't think I've had a patient as dedicated as you are," Cole, her physical therapist, praised her as they finished up their session. He smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Would you expect anything less from a Possible who is also my daughter-in-law?" Isabel inquired with a proud tilt of her head from her seat by the wall.

Ann went to Kim's side, handing her a towel to wipe her face. Kim always built up a sweat during her sessions, pushing herself as far as she could go and then beyond, like she did with everything in her life. Kim smiled her thanks to her mother.

Cole chuckled as he answered Isabel's question. "No, I never would. Same time in two days?"

"We'll be here," Kim promised with a grin as she put the towel away in her backpack. She then downed almost a whole bottle of Gatorade without stopping. She grinned while disposing of the bottle in the proper place. She was finally beginning to feel good physically, like she could do things. She was not her old self yet, but she could feel herself on the right path.

"Do you want the wheelchair?" Ann asked.

"No, Mom, I think I can actually walk to the car," Kim declared proudly. She would have to do it with a cane and she would probably work up another sweat, but she could do it.

"Be sure to stay close then, dear," Isabel requested.

The hero nodded. The group of four — Joss was there with them as always — bid the physical therapist farewell and then started for the door. Joss whistled before they got to the exit and Cali rushed away from some patients. She hopped on Joss' shoulder as they stepped through the door. The cat then sighed, along with all of the other warriors.

"I wished they gave this a rest already. They're not even any good!" Joss groaned, throwing her hands up.

"Kim," Isabel said.

"I know, I know. We're going inside," Kim sighed, returning into the building with her mother.

"Do you think this'll happen every time you come out now?" Ann asked, rubbing her forehead. The first couple of times villains showed up outside the facility gunning for her daughter, she was frightened and worried for her baby girl, but now she was just irritated, right along with the rest of them.

"I guess. I'm surprised they keep trying this. I mean, it's virtually impossible for them to get past Isabel, Joss, and Cali. You'd think they'd come up with something else," Kim pointed out with a frown.

Ann shook her head. "This is the only place they can do this because this is the only place you go. I'm sure by now most villains know they can't get into your home and they don't want to chance running into Shego."

Kim giggled at the idea of anyone trying to come into their home with Shego around. She was certain that the person would end up calling the cops and beg to be taken to jail. She would not be surprised if that was the case with the guys outside, too. After all, Isabel was Shego without the plasma powers, but she did like to scold people while she was fighting, so she was just as irksome.

"Come on, they're down," Joss said, poling her head through the front door.

Kim nodded and the two redheads walked out. Kim took in the sight of bodies laid out, all incapacitated and littering the sidewalks. Some were hanging from signs or trees and stuck in bushes. From the uniforms, she could tell they worked for WEE. The bounty on her head was getting beyond troublesome now.

"When is Wade going to find who put that price on your head?" Joss huffed as they piled into the SUV with Ann behind the steering wheel.

"He says he's looking, but the person was really careful. You have to remember that he's been doing this for ten years, so people are very aware of how competent he is, so they're now trying to cut him off whenever they can. He'll find out who, though," Kim defended her friend.
