Patience Is A Virtue

Chapter 1

Wish I Had An Angel

Shego could hear the exasperated sigh of the teen hero and sympathized with her. They were no less than 20 feet away from each other. I hear ya, princess. Drakken was going on and on about his "greatest plan yet". His lair was in the side of the mountain. It was cave-like as usual, cool and dark. Tired of listening to her arch-nemesis drone on, Kim finally took out her red blow dryer and fired the grappling hook within at the railing of the platform Dr. Drakken was standing on. Swinging through the air, she snatched the stolen nuclear reactor right from his hand.

"After her, Shego!" yelled Drakken after a moment of staring dumbfounded at Kim as she took off.
"On it, Dr. D!" Shego ignited her plasma, feeling its power burn like acid surging through her veins. Her muscles contracted and she started after Kim with a wild look in her eyes. She longed for this every time. She loved fighting Kim. It gave her the opportunity to be close to Kim; to smell Kim's scent and to feel Kim's soft young body near her own. She got close enough to leap at her, and tackled her to the ground, knocking the reactor out of her hands. It clanged against the rocky floor sending a loud echo throughout the chamber.

"Ron!" Kim shouted from beneath Shego, staying the villainess's glowing hands with her grasp. Shego was strong, but Kim managed to keep the hot plasma far enough away to keep herself from harm.
"I got it!" He snatched it. "Whoa-wh-whoa!" The reactor almost slipped out of his grasp, but he kept running. Legs wobbly, he managed not to fall while juggling the reactor between sweaty hands.
"Get the buffoon, Shego!" cried Drakken. Shego and Kim were rolling around on the ground, fighting for control before Kim finally managed to kick Shego briefly off.

"Shego!" Drakken yelled, but Shego was caught up. She dodged a punch from Kim and spun to the ground, kicking Kim her off her feet. Kim spun from her position on the floor and kicked to do the same, but Shego jumped to avoid it. Shego tackled Kim and threw a punch, but Kim blocked and pushed Shego off. They both sprung up again. Dodge, kick, dodge, punch, blast, dodge. It was mesmerizing. It was like a dance in which they were so well versed , so entranced by, that often the world just melted away around them. "Shego!" Drakken's voice rang in her head, interrupting her trance.
"Ugh! What is it?" She stopped and looked up at him, which gave Kim an opportunity to get in a blow, sending Shego to the ground with an "Oof!" Kim ran after Ron, who just nearly reached escape.
"GET THEM!" boomed Drakken.

Brushing herself off, Shego got up from the ground and just looked at him for a second before saying, "Why do I always have to be the one to do these things? You're the mad scientist! Get involved for a change."
"Mrr... because you're the sidekick, Shego!" He looked at the doorway. "Oh blast, they've gone and my great plan with them." He slumped down.
"Yeeaah..." Shego said, irritated. "That plan wasn't going to work out anyways."
"Shego..." Drakken whined. "You never support me. This was going to be my—"

"Yeah, I know," Shego interrupted, "your 'greatest plan yet'. Aaaand just what exactly were you going to do once this thing was built?" Drakken, befuddled, just looked at her for a moment.
"Erm, um, what?"
"What were you going to do once the nuclear power plant was built?" Drakken blinked, thought for a moment, then sighed.

"Shego, why are you questioning my abilities as a mad genius? That's not...not..." Drakken struggled to think of a word, but failed.
"Uh huh, yeah, well," Shego continued, "when you can come up with a plan that actually works, then I might stop questioning you." Exasperated, she marched out of the chamber to her room, leaving the protesting Drakken behind.

Shego took off her boots and plopped onto her bed and sighed, wishing her fight with Kim today wasn't as short as it was. She felt her hands get cold and her face burn as the image of the fighting redhead materialized in her mind. She could feel her muscles contract, getting ready for action. She could still smell the sweet conditioner that was in Kim's gorgeous locks.

"At least it's not that 'Lather, Rinse, Obey' crap that Dr. D put out. That was the most ridiculous plan ever! Not to mention, it smelled... weird." What was Kim using this time?

Imagining herself near Kim turned her on. She could feel her heart beating rapidly, the butterflies in stomach, the arousal of her... She shook her head out of her Kimmie daydream.

Why do I keep thinking about her, Shego thought. It wasn't even that long ago that I hated Possible. Why do I feel like this? It's so not like me. She mentally kicked herself as another image of Kim popped into her mind. Her heart fluttered.

"Kimmie, what are you doing to me?" she said aloud. She adjusted herself on the bed and only felt a little sore from fighting. Was she going easy on me today? She looked into the eyes of the imaginary Kimmie. They were soft, even as her face was defiant. Does she care about me too? She often would let Kim win their battles every now and then, even when she herself could easily have beaten her. Her ego, however, would never have let her tell anyone about this. Though, as Miss Go, when the attitudinator struck her, she didn't much have an ego. She remembered feeling all sorts of light and fluffy. She shuddered.
"Good thing Stoppable turned me back just in time," she said aloud. "I can't believe I almost told her how I felt." She closed her eyes.

She found Kim to be strangely fascinating. She wanted to get inside her head, to see how she thought and how she felt. What used to be hate for the teen she could feel coursing through her veins had turned to... she couldn't even think it let alone say it.

"I am evil!" she said to herself. "What the hell am I doing? I don't like her! I can't like her!" But what if she likes you? Her brain was going a mile a minute. Her palms were getting sweaty, so she took off her gloves. She sighed again and ran her fingers through her long raven hair. Oh, Kimmie. She visualized taking the redhead in her hands and giving her a strong kiss. She gasped.

She couldn't help it. All the feelings she had been stuffing down exploded in her mind all at once. Her face and hands started to sweat, her insides tingled and her heart started beating faster. She longed for Kim, to feel her, to hold her, to kiss her, to touch her. Shego fought back tears.

"I am a villain!" she shouted. "I hate Kim Possible!" She was breathing hard. Keep saying it and maybe you'll believe it...unlikely, but it could work.

"What, like Drakken's stupid plan?" she scoffed. "Maybe I shouldn't bother." She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "Maybe I do want Kimmie..." she trailed off. Kim was so beautiful, so strong, so confident. Shego opened her eyes with a stern look. "If I want Kimmie, I will take her." But it wasn't just Kim alone that she wanted. In her mind, she was fighting Kim, both of them fighting for control of the other. She bit Kim's lip, taking the startled redhead off guard. With one movement, she spun the girl around, put both arms behind her back and forced her to the ground. Shego put her body on Kim's, keeping her still. She could feel Kimmie's struggling and contracting muscles melt under her strength.

She wanted her submission, something that would be very hard to get from the acrobatic fighter. She grinned mischievously at herself.
"Oh, Kimmie," she said. "You have no idea what kinds of things I would like to do to you..."

She licked her lips. "You may not know it yet, cupcake, but I know you long for me too."

Kim just wanted to go home and sleep; she didn't even feel like returning the reactor to the plant just yet. She was so tired from the mission, though she didn't know why. All she did was climb a mountain, fought through an army of dumb henchman, and listened to Drakken babble on and on about his latest plan. This was all normal everyday stuff. And then of course there was the typical fight with Shego. Shego… Kim let her mind wander as she imagined fighting the dark-haired villainess, rolling on the ground with her, being beneath her. She shook herself from her daydream, feeling a little hot. She climbed the stairs to her bedroom and opened the window, allowing the cool night breeze to flow in. She placed the backpack containing the tiny reactor by her dresser. Without bothering to change her clothes, she got into bed and held her pandaroo.

She was tired of having to be so strong all the time. Ron was her boyfriend, but he was always depending on her for direction and comfort and strength. She could never completely depend on him for any of that. He was a good and loyal friend, but she often just wanted someone to take her and hold her and let her be weak, and just let herself fall apart. Thoughts of Shego appeared in her head again. Kim frowned and pushed them aside. Why was she thinking about Shego? That wasn't any way related to what was previously going through her mind.

She shrugged and let herself drift off, as Shego slowly slipped into her dreams.

Shego awoke to a loud obnoxious voice on the PA.

"Shego, come into the lab!" Ignoring it, she tried going back to sleep and almost succeeded, when it boomed louder, sounding impatient. "SHEGO! I need you in the lab NOW!" With an irritated sigh, she got up slowly, zipped her black and green boots on and stormed her way to Drakken's laboratory. Forcing the door open, she glared at him with her cold emerald green eyes.

"This had better be an emergency," she grumbled, "because I was seriously enjoying my beauty sleep."

"No talk; just listen!" said Drakken, waving his hand at her. Shego stayed her anger at being ignored, as she was a little curious about Drakken's next move. "I haven't given up on my plan yet. Kim Possible hasn't yet delivered the nuclear reactor back to the plant you stole it from. I have an assignment for you..." Shego smirked, as Drakken started babbling about the details of having Shego steal the reactor back. A chance at conquering my princess, she thought. Patience is a virtue, they say, but I'm not so virtuous. "...and I want you to also— Shego, are you listening?" Drakken said. Shego shook her head out of the clouds.

"Yeah, get the reactor back from Miss Priss. Don't worry, I gotcha, Dr. D," she said running out. She was surprised he wasn't protesting her leaving so quickly, especially since she hadn't let him finish. Maybe he's just tired, she thought. Understandable.
