The Prompt: Take two cartoon heroes and put them in an elevator together. What happens?
After looking over a quick Google search for cartoon heroes, I realized I don't need to have Batman and Superman together. It could be any hero from any movie or show. I could have so much fun with any combination but I chose Kim Possible and Hercules. Feel free to look up any clips on them if you need to know how they act.
Kim Possible stood in the elevator with one hand on her hip. Her other hand was holding her Kimmunicator.
"Okay, Ron, I'll meet you on the fifth floor then. Mr. Rodriguez will be in the third door on the left. Good luck with your scooter."
"Thanks, KP. Bye!"
She clicked her Kimmunicator off as the elevator doors opened on the second floor. Her eyes opened wide when she saw a tall, muscular man barely wearing anything walk into the elevator. His body type reminded her of one of Drakken's henchmen, only much more attractive. She tried to not let him get her off-guard as he stood next to her.
"Seven please," he said in a cheery voice.
"Sure." Kim pushed the button and stared straight ahead.
"I'm Hercules," he grinned, holding out his hand.
Kim wasn't used to his friendliness. She returned the handshake. "Kim. Kim Possible."
"What brings you in here?"
"I'm on a mission. I'm meeting with Mr. Rodriguez. What about you, in that get-up?" she gestured to his Grecian tunic.
"I'm trying to set up a trip to take. There's a travel agent in here."
Kim nodded. "I see. Whoah!" The elevator started rattling violently. She held onto the railing.
Hercules was holding his arms out to balance but he still hit into the wall as the elevator stopped. He stood up straight.
"What happened?"
"There must have been a glitch in the system." Alert, Kim switched on her Kimmunicator. "Wade? Wade? I have no signal in here," she sighed as she put it back in her pocket.
"Don't worry, I'll get us out of here," he spoke with confidence as he strode to the doors.
"Oh, I'm not worried. I wouldn't try that if I were you."
Hercules pulled at the crack of the doors and grunted. "I'm an expert at this."
"Yeah, but they're held shut with electricity, and we're on the third floor. If you open it we'll fall out."
Hercules ignored her and continued pulling.
"Are you done now?" she asked with her arms crossed after he stopped pulling when he noticed there was no floor on the other side of the doors. "Give me a boost, and I can get us out."
"I don't see how a little girl like you can help."
Kim scoffed. "Oh please. You must be all muscle, no brain."
"I am not. You're just so frail and thin."
"Fine, I'll do it myself." And with that, she jumped from one wall to the other until she hung from the ceiling bar.
Hercules watched in shock. "How can you do that?"
While still holding onto the ceiling, she used her other hand to push the ceiling panel up. "I'm a cheerleader." Once the ceiling panel was out of the way, she flipped up and into the hole.
"Amazing!"
Kim surveyed the elevator and saw a wire that was loose. "You're the problem." After studying the elevator shaft further she called down, "There's a problem with the wires. I can't fix them. The only way I see us getting out of here is manually operating the elevator."
"I can help with that. Watch out."
Kim moved another section of the ceiling away as Hercules jumped up. She lost her balance as he landed down with a thud.
Hercules jumped up again and grabbed onto the hole's opening, slightly bending the elevator. Once he was able to fit his broad shoulders through the hole, the rest of him came out easily.
"Where is the cable?"
"Over there," she pointed to a thick black twisted cable.
Hercules walked carefully over to it, reached up, and pulled down with all his might. The elevator shifted up, but Kim was able to keep her balance this time.
"I think we should be going down," Hercules said as he pulled the rope in the opposite direction. The elevator slid down fluidly. They both watched the marks on the walls go down in number. "This is the first floor," he announced.
"Great job, Hercules!" Kim grinned.
"Thanks, but how do we get out?"
"I think I can handle this part."
Kim jumped down and landed softly on her feet. She pulled out her Kimmunicator, and Hercules landed not so quietly next to her. Her Kimmunicator worked now that she was on the ground level. She explained the situation to Wade, and he set up her device to override the elevator circuits. She plugged the Kimmunicator into the circuit box. Hercules heard some whirring.
"Try pulling the doors open now," Kim instructed.
Hercules gave a great heave and wrenched the doors open. Meg, Ron, and Rufus were on the other side. Wade had told Ron what had happened, and Meg happened to be there at the right time. They cheered when they saw the doors open.
"Hey, we make a pretty good team." Kim held out her hand to shake.
He gripped it tightly and shook. "Yeah, we do. Nice meeting you."
"Same here," Kim replied, rubbing her sore hand. Hercules had a strong grip.
"Are you alright, Kim?" Ron asked.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine, but Ron, let's take the stairs."
