I would absolutely love to see more of this. The way you're dealing with Kim's psychological trauma is absolutely marvelous, but I think your greatest success with this story is Joss and her beliefs. That distinction between what is right and what is necessary is always a tricky one, and bringing the issue to the story makes it that much deeper.

Please, please, please, finish these stories.

It's been three years since you started them, and I really want, and need, closure on them.

I remembered this existed. I'm very glad I did. Hope to see more soon.

This is another awsome series it's really getting good now and I can't wait to see what happens next. I mean Ron turning into a badass and breaking kids down psychologically. Glad to see things moving forward for everyone still curious to see who this shadow group is that has it in for Ron and Kim though. I would also like to see if she can change the world once again. Looking forward to seeing what comes next.

man, this story is messed up! it is really good though!

Thanks for the Lawn Gnome and the Ron meltdown after the proposal to Kim. I was beginning to doubt this was Ron.He is way more focused and driven than usual.He has swung from goofball to a person who can terrorise with a look.I believe that Kim's return is helping him find his center and he is helping her find hers.The conversition with the voice is interesting; guilty conscience,the lotus Blade, or something further up the food chain? This keeps getting better with every update well worth the wait.

Quite the conversation Ron had with his 'conscience' there. Some very important things to consider; and if the timing of the event is as Ron mentioned, something very important is about to come up concerning himself and Kim in the current state of the world and US. They will need each other and they may not have the comfort of time to get settled in together before it all starts around them.

From Ron's talk with Samuel, it looks like the behind the scenes activities of the government are starting to get a little out of control, Bill of Rights wise...

Soon, very soon, it may start.

What a shifting of gears here. At least Kim said yes. And she's got something else to talk to Shego about...

Promises made for each other that they will keep. Each knows they will need help and will give and accept it willingly. The scope of Kim's reason for prison discussed a bit better, perspective more than realized by Ron. His actions would have put Kim in another prison, whether he knew it or not.

Blissful sleep interrupted by, what now?

That's got to be the most subduesd proposal I think I've seen. But it works here, becasue of teh seriousness of their conversation.

As to what it looks like happened to Shego, NO ONE deserves that. But it sounds like someone was trying to goad Ron into doing something illegal and get him in trouble. Good thing he didn't bite.

Looking forward to the next chap...

A couple grows deeper in love,questions are asked and a searching for answers is continued.Shego has had a rough time and Ron in effect,rescue's her? Listening to voices in your head can't be a good thing talking back has to be worse.

Impressive and very well written. There's a great conversation between Kim and Ron on how things are between them, how Kim and Ron are feeling about each other and need each other in this rather dark future and even a look back at the life of one of their old friends (Scary). Dramatic, touching and scary just about sums up this very well written chapter. Definitely awaiting more.

Incredible. This follows Inside Looking Out very well. Picking up where it left off -- Now Kim's adjusting and very well. She's even trying to save the world despite the fact she can't do it the way she did prior to her incarceration. And she got help. Ron, who's honed his skills and business sense becoming the master of Lotus Blade and one of the richest men on earth, her Parole Officer Rabbi Katz who has her best interests, and Colonel Verne who's slowly getting her back into saving the world in his own way. Colonel Verne seems to have her best interests but not in the same way as Ron or Rabbi Katz. Tara and Monique have changed as well but are also they're same in some ways. Then, we learn that Joss has changed as well and has her moments disagreeing with Ron's methods. Still she goes about saving lives like her cousin only as a firefighter. And then Kim has PTSD attack. And most recently, Ron enlightens Kim to the sitch between him and Joss. And the Kim enlightens Ron that they still very much need in healing the world and each others in their lives. You got some very interesting subplots running and I'd most definitely like to see where this goes.

You're not going easy on us readers, walking through those compelling questions again and again ...
Still I believe Ron's got the wrong answer here, and I do not think that marrying him is what Kim should do at this stage ...
I'm really wondering what her answer to that one will be.

Quite the philosophy discussion in there. I was familiar somewhat with the Jewish pacifist movement in Europe before it really went bad for them in Germany. Hard to take that stand of non-violence when your murderers want you to not fight back as they slaughter you.

The chapter showed how much each needs the other in their lives. Not a crutch, but a welcome port to comfort and bolster the other before going out again.

Not quite the evening Ron had planned for to make his proposal to Kim, but.. let's see what Kim's answer will be.

Bad poetry, huh? Yeah, I tangled with Puritan literature way back and I can only imagine how much worse a time you are having...

I really have no idea how to review this chapter, as this has actually taught me a few things. It has also affirmed some of my own theories and... beliefs.

Now to see Kims reaction to Ron's question. Seems like it was just... put out there, but I guess we'll see.
