This is just something I'm trying out. If the response is good then I'll continue, but other wise my latest attempt will stop here. Not the first story I've written, but it is the first from my new account.
Beyond the Expected
Chapter 1 – Kidnap Confusion
Columbia's Medical Research Laboratory (C.M.R.L) – 1st March 2010
Kim Possible, the all American girl with the world's 'saviour' as her status. She wasn't perfect; she made mistakes just like every other being on the planet. So when the world puts you on a pedestal, that is so high up you can't see the ground, what do you do? You cover your mistake up, that's what.
Her first mistake happened on what was supposed to be a rescue mission; it was a special case according to Wade. Some big shot ambassador claims that his daughter is being forced into wrong doing, and was willing to pay top dollars to have her returned to him.
Usually Kim didn't except payments, but with college and rent to pay, she was really in any position to decline. She was going to make sure this mission went off without a hitch. Although for that to happen she should have left Ron back home in Upperton. He was bound to screw something up as always, it was amazing that they were still dating.
So far they have managed to get to the abandoned medical lab and into the ventilation system, without any problems arriving and miraculously without Ron giving away that their position. He sneezed just as they entered the shaft, but luckily Rufus grabbed his nose.
"Hey KP, how are we supposed to know what this chick looks like?" Ron whispered; not so quietly. A grumbling sound echoes through the steel shaft then faded on down.
Kim sighed, hanging her head. "Stealth Ron remember, we don't know if their armed or who knows what else. And I think we'll know an ambassadors daughter when we see one." Kim whispered, as well as covering her mouth to stop any more vibrations possibly alerting the kidnappers. Yeah she should have left Ron at home.
They continued down the shaft, till they reached the grate. They could clearly see the labs layout, although it did not look to be abandoned. The equipment that layered the large open space was shining as if it was brand new. Wade had assured her that the lab was abandoned and was not supposed to have been re-used due to nuclear precautions. How ever was here, was definitely not authorised to be.
Just as Kim went to remove the grate blocking her exit, she heard muffled voices that were growing increasingly louder and very familiar. Her breath hitched as she watched the faint green screened super walk casually into the lab, said woman was thought to be dead after the Diablo incident. Kim's mind took her back to the moment as she watched Shego fly through the air towards her death, her eyes flowing with fear and shock. The teen hero still wakes up in a cold sweat after the nightmares that night caused.
"She-Shego?" was her hushed voice's only word. Kim and Ron continued to watch in awe as Shego walked up to the main console, she pressed a few buttons, before taking a seat on one of the plush leather couches. Lifting her legs up onto the makeshift coffee table, and then resuming the trademark Shego pose, nail file included.
Dr. Drakken could then be heard squealing 'Shego', which made the green skinned mercenary roll her eyes and grumble a few unpleasant words under her breathe. The barely audible sound of Drakken running down one of the corridors towards his reclining sidekick reached the ventilation shaft where Team Possible were spying from, knocking from their awed state.
Out of breathe; Drakken flopped down onto the couch panting. Only to be pushed off by an irritated Shego. "She is doing it again, you must help me." He whined pathetically.
"No can do Dr. D. You were so persistent about having the girl, so it's up to you to deal with her. Besides she's kind of cute, once you get past the ultra weirdness." She replied with a wave of her hand.
Back in the shaft Ron was getting edgy, he wanted out of the tin can that was containing him. He was sure that the girl mention had to be the ambassador's daughter, although he was deeply confused as to why Drakken wanted to kidnap her. "KP lets kick some butt." He prompted in a shouting whisper.
Almost immediately Shego's eyes shot up from her nails to where the noise came from, and she would recognise that childish voice anywhere. The question was why was, Miss Goody Goody spying on them in the first place. Since the Diablo plan was a massive failure, she and Dr. Drakken had been laying low, not evil plotting or anything remotely criminal.
Kim glared at Ron, who was now looking a little sheepish. She gentle removed the grate and dropped to the ground, Ron following clumsily behind. As the advantage of surprise was lost, there was no point in going in all aggressive. And even then she was feeling that she was more likely to hug the green thief than harm her...again.
"Give it up you two, you're under arrest. Now tell us where you're hiding the ambassador's daughter?" Kim ordered, taking her position in front of the two felons, who were looking at her in disbelief and confusion. With her hands on her hips she stared them down.
"What are you talking about Kimberly Ann? We are not hiding anyone; we have given up villainy, for I am now a family man." He boasted proudly.
Kim's now wide eyes shifted to Shego and then back to Drakken, she could not believe what she was hearing. Drakken and Shego could not possibly be together and have made a family, it was completely ridiculous. Kim's mind began to reel; a strange feeling began to bubble in her chest. What she really wanted to do right now was either punch Drakken in the face, or to beg Shego to say it wasn't true. These thoughts and feeling really threw her off, so much so that she couldn't even form a sentence.
"So you see Miss Possible, I have no intention of going back to my old life, when I very content in my new one. So if you would be so kind as to leave us in peace it would be appreciated." He waved joyfully, only to add some more as an after thought. "Although I would have liked to have Shego show you the door for old times sake, but I don't particularly want you any where near my dear Shego". He growled, with an intense glare to boot.
The green mercenary stayed quiet the whole time, she was too caught up in seeing her princess again that she wasn't paying enough attention as to where Kim's goofy sidekick had sneaked off to.
Only when a screaming brown haired woman came waddling in as fast as her heavily pregnant body could carry her, did Shego snap out of it. Moving quickly, taking advantage of Kim's mentally paralyzed state, she ran full force towards the brunette. With a high flip she came between a scared pregnant woman and a dead man aka Ron Stoppable.
Before Ron even realised it he was knocked 3 feet into the air from a well placed uppercut, surprisingly his jaw remained intact. Seeing that the buffoon was in a great deal of pain made her smile. Shego turned back to the woman. "Patti, are you okay? You know you're not meant to be moving around too much."
Patti nodded, while taking refuge in Shego's strong arms. They weren't quite as comforting to her as her Drewbie's, but they felt safe none the less.
Again Kim was back to the torn feelings, who was this girl getting all cosy with Shego. Shego never hugs anyone; well there was that little mishap with the Attitudeinator. Shego was going to tell Kim something and Ron had to screw up yet again and ruin it all. She refused to speak to him for weeks; she was so put out after losing Shego as a close friend. She had really grown attached in that small amount of time they spent together.
Kim watched as Shego led the girl over to Drakken who was looked caught between overly concerned and pissed off. Then again he was quite justified to do so, as the blonde idiot that followed Kim Possible around the world was chasing his pregnant fiancé.
With Patricia settled in Drakken's arms, Shego spun around to sort the buffoon out. Well she would have if Kim hadn't finally gained control of her limbs and jumped into action. "Don't start with me Pumpkin; he can't just go around chasing heavily pregnant women thinking its ok!" Shego growled.
Kim sighed knowing that Shego was right, but she just couldn't let the super powered mercenary wail on her boyfriend, even if she had wanted to do it herself for some time now. "I know that okay. Look just shows me where the ambassador's daughter is and we'll leave you alone okay, I promise." She pleads. Shego scrunched her face up, all the feelings that she had suppressed for the red head were storming through her body.
"I can't let you take her Kim." Shego replied, holding off all the raging emotions coursing through her. She reluctantly crouched down into a defensive pose. Kim had nearly killed her the last time they fought, not physically, but she broke her heart that night she was kicked in to the electrical tower.
This was not what Kim wanted at all. So instead of returning the fighting pose, she ran at Shego, moving faster than the green woman could think. Then before she knew it Kim was clinging on to her for dear life, her whole body shaking. "I'm so glad your okay Shego, I thought I lost you." She mumbled into Shego's cashmere dark green jumper.
Frozen in shock, Shego didn't know what to do, well she knew what she wanted to do and that was to wrap her arms tightly around the younger woman. But she knew that was not what she should want to do. Instead she attempted to pry the younger girl off of her.
"Uh Kimmie, what are you doing?" Shego asked, holding Kim away by her shoulders. In the corner of her eye she could see Ron frowning at the scene they were making; clearly he wasn't happy with his girlfriend of 2 years hugging a dangerous villain. He saw what was brewing between the two, when Shego has her attitude reversed. He stopped it then and he'll stop it now.
As Kim pushed past Shego's preventive hands, she re-wrapped her arms tightly around Shego. She didn't really care what the sitch looked like or how stupid she looked, she was just so happy to be near Shego again.
Taking advantage of Shego stunned state, Ron attacked only to be jumped on by Drakken. He had been watching the girls along with Patti, but she had seen Ron moving towards Shego and so she nudged Drew to do something. And he never moved so fast in his life, in seconds he had Ron pinned to the floor.
They grappled on the floor, till they knocked into the hugging girls. It took a while, but Shego finally let herself hug the red head. Slyly Shego gave Ron a swift kick in the back, trying to stop him from possibly hurting Drakken and stopping him from taking Kimmie away again. She wasn't bitter at all.
Kim pulled away from Shego, although she wanted nothing more than to stay in her arms. She knew these weren't the normally feelings of relief, but she honestly couldn't care less. She was happier now than she had been in a while. And she was definitely regretting not leaving Ron at home.
"Ron, what are you doing?!" Kim screeched. She glared down at Ron who was still being pinned under a surprisingly strong Drakken. He looked up at his girlfriend completely baffled, she was actually shouting at him, Kim never shouts at him.
"What am I doing? What do you mean what am I doing, what are you doing?!" He shrieked. Once Drakken had let him up, Ron started to wave his arms around manically.
Smiling nicely at Shego, Kim quickly grabbed a hold of a hysterical Ron and took him to a quiet corner. While Kim dealt with them drama, Shego looked over to Drakken, who looked at Patti, who then shrugged. She had only just recently joined to two; she didn't even know who Kim and Ron were.
"Are you sure about this Shego? I mean I know you've like Kimberly for a quite a while, but I mean after that Diablo incident..." Drakken trailed off, looking down guiltily. That whole thing was his fault and he knew that. He was very lucky that Shego forgave him for that plot, especially since it was a direct attack upon her crushes emotions.
"I'm sure as can be Dr. D. I gave her up once, and well look at her...she's not happy with the buffoon. I'm going to fight for her this time, I get that she may not like me in that way, but life is too short not to go for what you want right?" Shego looked between Patti and Drew. Both nodded their understanding of what Shego was saying.
The whispered argument, had turned into a full on blow out. Ron was starting to get more aggressive in his actions, now he was only centimetres away from Kim's face. Shouting in her face about how Kim was turning against him and their world.
Although once Ron started talking about taking someone away from Kim, she lost it. Faster than anyone could react, Kim's hand shot out and firmly slapped Ron across the face, with enough force that he was knocked to the side.
"He's not yours to take away, don't you ever bring my baby into this!" Kim screamed down at him. Shego quickly walked over to the two heroes. Her brain was fuzzy, after Kim's outburst about her baby. When did Kim have a baby? Who was Kim's baby?
"Sshh Kimmie calm down." Shego soothed, wrapping her arms around the furious red head. Kim started to relax against the pale woman, although her glare never wavered.
Ron was livid, Shego was right in front of him and hugging his girlfriend. Soothing away the girl's anger, that was his job not Shego's. Alright so he was the one that angered Kim and he had just been slapped for over stepping his mark, but it was still his job to calm his girlfriend.
"Get your filthy hands off of my girlfriend!" He shouted, veins bulging in his forehead and neck.
"I think you should leave Stoppable, Ciao will be in here in a few seconds and he hates blonde guys." Shego gave a glare of her own at Ron. "I'll take Kim to where ever she wants to be later on." She then whistled gentle, away from Kim's ear.
It wasn't long before two large golden brown wolves came into the room. One was baring its teeth, while the other didn't look too bothered, they both trotted over to where Shego and heroes stood. Both wolves took there places at Shego's side, one to her left, the other to her right.
"I'll see you back at the apartment Ron, Roman is staying with my parents for the weekend." Kim said through clenched teeth. She wouldn't put it past Ron to go and take Roman from her parents, so she would be going there to get Roman as soon as Ron left.
Not feeling so brave in front of the large wolves growling at him, Ron took his leave, but not without a sneer and deathly glare at Shego before he turned the corner.
"Ciao, Bella...follow him out." Shego ordered. The wolves were gone in a blink of an eye.
Kim had some concerns for Ron's health, but he had pushed her over the edge by threatening to take Roman away from her, saying that she was unfit to take care of him, as she must have lost her mind to even consider hugging a criminal.
"Shego I need to you take me to my parent's house...fast." Kim said. Shego didn't reply, she picked Kim up with ease and ran to the bases hanger, where her trustee jet lay in waiting.
It took under 20 minutes for Shego to reach the Drs Possible house. She wasn't happy that she was leaving Kim so soon, but she wanted to make the girl happy. So when Kim asked her to keep the jet engines running she was quite confused. It wasn't long before Kim came back aboard. Although she wasn't alone this time, there in her arms was a small black haired boy clinging to her.
He turned to look up at Shego, who was already looking down at him in confusion. His emerald green eyes stared back with the same confusion in them as Shego's. They stared at each other for a while, till the small boy started giggling and hid himself in Kim's hair.
"Roman this is Shego" Roman looked over at Shego again, this time he smiled brightly and attempted a little wave with his tiny hands. "Shego this is Roman, my son." Kim laughed as Shego choked a little. "You okay? She asked.
Nodding Shego, quickly took the jet back into the air. They were just in time to see Ron parachuting down to the garden they had just taken off from. Kim shook her head and scoffed, he was so predictable.
"Would you like to come back to my place?" Shego asked uncertainly. Kim nodded happily; she was actually excited to be around Shego again. Things had become so dull around Ron, he was changing and it wasn't for the better. Kim knew that Ron wasn't all to blame; he had taken her getting pregnant hard, especially since it wasn't his. Although in Kim's defence they were broken up at the time she got drunk and slept with that random at the club.
"I just need to go and pick up Ciao and Bella, and then we can get going." Shego said, she looked like she was deep in thought. Kim knew exactly what was going through the mercenary's mind at that moment.
"I'll answer all your questions when we get to yours, I promise." Kim smiled, making Shego smile back. It felt good to smile; Shego hadn't been able to honestly smile in a very long time. The universe really did have a way of coming around to those who waited long enough.
