As Kim entered the cave she realized it actually wasn't one, but rather the mouth of a dark tunnel, a lavatube spacious enough for two people to walk abreast of each other. Wary for any sights or sounds of movement signaling danger emeraled green eyes scanned the ground, the frozen footprint path of permafrost glittering in the dim light. "nawt egzatly breadclumbs, buh ah'll taeg eet." (Not exactly breadcrumbs, but I'll take it.) Kim laughed softly to herself as she reached up to give the metal stuck to her tongue a gentle tug.

It didn't budge.

With a sigh she dug a flashlight out from her Team Possible uniform waist side storage systems otherwise known as cargo pants pockets, flicking it on and following the path with caution. Retracing the path superheated molten rock had once traveled to form the tunnel Kim weaved back and forth behind the trail of frozen footsteps. Following a turn the white beam of her flashlight was no longer the only source of illumination. An eerie red glow had begun, soft at first but gradually getting brighter, bringing with it an increase in the temperature of the air surrounding the girl. "Thurbey thays…around theeth cloner eeth a great beeg room of thsteaming hot lava that could fry me to a clithp if seego's not already waiting for me with her stupid flames first. No b-…SHTUPID PLANE!" (survey says around this corner is a great big room of steaming hot lava that could fry me to a crisp if Shego's not already waiting for me with her stupid flames first. No (big)…STUPID PLANE!) Kim spat angrily, glaring at the metal still stuck to her. It had grown warmer in the heat, but still held fast to the tip of her tongue.

Muttering hateful things about the scrap of metal, the plane, the plane's mother, shego, something about ron and wade owing her big time and how certain tweebs and an annoying egotistical cheerleader would never leave her alone about the seemingly glued disk stuck to her tongue Kim began up the last part of the trail. "Figtureth it'd have to be a thteep eencline…" (figures it'd have to be a steep incline) Kim grumbled as she climbed her way up the steep slope.

Halfway up the climb the temperature rose dramatically, a blast of hot air blowing out as though it were a vent, coating Kim in the moist heat as she let out a scream of aggravation. "ah am gonna keel seego for making me come heer!" (I'm gonna kill shego for making me come here) Kim grumbled, pulling at her already sweat-soaked top. "augh! Theeth eeth just nasthty…" Kim whined, succumbing and peeling the shirt from her body. Clad only in the cargo pants and a black sports bra Kim continued the rest of the way up the slope, panting and falling into a slumped heap once she reached the top, dragging her sweat glistened body towards the inner chamber with a heaved sigh, flopping onto her stomach and laying on the floor completely limp and drained of energy, eyes closed.

Then she heard it. A soft "Plink!" and the weight suddenly removed from her lips. Opening a single eye she watched the silver disk fall onto the ground, rolling in an arc before swiveling down like a bottlecap…just in front of the redhead's nose.

She sighed and went limp, gently bumping her forehead against the solid rock beneath her repeatedly several times. "Figures…you'd wait through the hike, up the trail, through the tunnel, up the climb until I'm entirely EXHAUSTED…and decide to fall off. No big, I see how it is." Kim muttered to herself after a few moments, shifting her arms around to push herself up with a tiny groan.

Opening bleary eyes to examine the vast expanse the redhead had discovered herself in, her tongue decided to play. Freed from its icy imprisonment with the unholy metal disk from hell the soft pink appendage roamed through the girls mouth, experimentally running along the girls lush lips, moistening them as she took in a breath of air. "Shego!" she called out, hearing only the dull roar of lava and the blazen heat far below, making no echo on the rocks. "Shego! I know your in here! Nobody else in go tower can flay that jet, and I know nobody else would use such tacky colors. I mean Hell-o! This is the new millennium!" Not to mention nobody else would send unholy bits of metal to attack my tongue Kim said inwardly, said muscle still peeping in and out of her mouth, testing its newfound mobility as she began explore the vast cavern, sticking close to the nearby wall as she slowly took in the new surroundings.

yes yes, I know its not that good (at least I dont think it is) but your the reader you tell me. This was mostly filler to give an idea of time, and...pretty much entirely improved within the last two days. I'll add more chapters as I get time to type them up. For now just enjoy and review whatcha got, aye? scallywags
