It was a fairly quiet and rainy day in Go City as Shego and her brothers sat in the Go Tower, waiting for a new mission to pop up. For the past week things had become a bit dull for the group of crime fighters. Not one super villain tried to seek revenge on them or wreak havoc on their city.

Shego, young with long black hair and dark green eyes, sat on a chair in the corner watching as her brothers, Hego and Mego, argued as usual. She rolled her eyes, disgusted at her lifestyle. There had to be more to life than this, she often thought to herself. Somehow all this didn't feel right to her, like she should be doing something else with her life, even though she was doing something for the greater good and protecting people from evil.

Suddenly, the alarm went off.

Some kind of evil was being carried out somewhere and it was up to them to do something. Shego turned on the screen and found a little red dot on a map of Go City near the Go City University. They all took off towards the Go Plane where they sped off ready to fight evil at its worst.

In a matter of minutes they landed on the grounds of the large University. Students were running everywhere madly, scared and not sure where to go next. Team Go took off to the Science lab where a big hole was blown into the side of the building leading to it. They saw what was once a fully functioning science lab, was now just a scrap yard with test tubes and mysterious liquids scattered all over the place.

Over in the corner a man stood laughing evilly to his group of large henchmen dressed all in red. The man was had a strange blue skin tone and wore a long blue lab coat with a black belt that hung tightly around his waist. His hair was black and tied back into a ponytail.

"Stop right there villain!" Hego called out pointing to the man across the room. The man slowly turned around facing them holding what appeared to be a vile with green liquid in it. Shego raised her eyebrow, wondering what this villain would possibly want with that.

"Put back whatever you have stolen and leave!" Hego ordered in his usual forceful bossy tone.

The man smiled wickedly at them and shook his head. There was something about his smile and the evil look in his eyes that caught her attention, something that she found strangely attractive.

"No way!" He barked in a deep voice. "Henchmen attack!"

Hego turned to Shego and said, "Catch him and take back whatever he took. We'll take care of these guys."

Shego sneered, how she hated being ordered around by her brothers…

As the henchman attacked her brothers, the villain had taken off trying to make an escape amongst the chaos.

"I don't think so!" Shego said pursuing him, her hands glowing green ready to attack him. She jumped high into the air and bounced off a wall avoiding a henchman that was blocking her way, and landed in front of the villain. He stopped dead in his tracks.

"Give that back!" Shego snarled.

"No!" He exclaimed trying to avoid her. She grabbed him by his arm and twisted him around knocking him into the nearest wall. She reached for the beaker, but he dodged her, and made a break for the exit. She leaped at him and tackled him to ground. She fell on top of him, their faces inches apart.

"Give that to me!" She growled through her teeth.

He tried to wriggle out from underneath her, and instead landed on top of her. How awkward this was, she thought.

"Ha!" He spat with a smirk. He went to get up intending to leave her there, but instead she pulled him back down and rolled back on top of him.

"I won't let you have that!" She yelled her "claws" inches away from his face. He held her wrists back as much as he could, not wanting her nails to go through his flesh.

"Well why not? I need it. I'll do more with it than those nerds ever could!"

"Like what?" She asked curiously.

"As if I would tell you!" He snorted.

"Well why not?" She shot back. He looked into her eyes. She had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen.

"Well…I….er….gah!" Shego felt like laughing as he stumbled to find the right words. He was distracted by how pretty she was.

"I'm evil and you're not!" He finally blurted out, pushing her away from him with his feet. He quickly got up and headed towards the door with the beaker still tight within his grasp, but before he even had a chance to make it that far she swiped him in the back with great force she didn't know she had. He spun around and without a seconds thought, Shego swiped him again, this time on the side of his face. He fell against the wall, wincing in pain. He slid down the wall and fell to the floor, dropping the vile of liquid at her feet. He could feel himself blacking out.

"Not like I enjoy being good…" She said looking annoyed.

"Join me then…" He offered everything slowly going hazy around him. She blinked confusingly. She had just ruined his evil plot and now he was asking her to join him.

"Why?" Shego asked.

The man chuckled and said, "Because being "good" doesn't suit you."

"Sure it does." She denied.

"Keep telling yourself that." He remarked with a very matter-of-factly tone in his voice, like he knew better. His eyes rolled into the back of his head and he blacked out.

"Shego! C'mon let's go!" Mego called out.

The police were hauling henchmen out now. She took one last look back at the villain and suddenly felt sorry for him, but why should she feel bad for someone… so bad?

As they took off in the Go Jet, Shego's thoughts returned to the blue villain back at the University. Who was he? She wondered to herself while Mego drove them home.

"Are you ok sis?" Hego asked noticing how distant his sister looked as she stared down at the city below.

"I'm fine." She said not even looking at him. He just shrugged it off and began bickering with the Wego twins over what restaurant they were going to stop at for dinner later. Shego sighed and folded her arms in disgust. Why couldn't she have been an only child? She had to get away from them and this lifestyle, but how? She didn't even know where to begin.

Later on that day they finally decided to go to a local Italian Restaurant, which they often visited. So often, that Shego was beginning to hate spagetti. For this outing, they dressed casually so they could blend in with the rest of the crowd. Shego wore a pair of black jeans, a green tank top with a hoodie.

As they pulled into the restaurant parking lot, Shego noticed a nearby magazine stand. One of her favorite past times was browsing through pages of the latest fashion-trends and headlines. "I'm going to go pick up a magazine or two." She announced to her brothers as they each got out of the car.

"Ok, we'll get a table." Hego said while they parted and went into the restaurant.

Shego hardly noticed the man sitting on a stool watching her as she scanned through each magazine one by one trying to decide which ones she would like to buy the most. Finally her eyes came to a stop on one in particular called, "Villainess". She paused for a moment, her head tilted off to the side slightly, looking at the cover of the magazine wondering what contents lay inside the pages. She had never seen that magazine before, it must have been fairly new. Becoming a villain would be a total 180 degree change in her life, it was definitely something different and exciting. So with that in mind, she picked it up and began browsing through the pages. There was definitely some interesting things in it, things that definitely caught her attention. This was the magazine she wanted to buy more than any of the others, but what would her brothers think if they caught her reading it? She tried to think of a plan to fool them. With a sly smile forming on her mouth, she came up with the perfect excuse. She decided that telling them she was just "checking up" on all the villains was good enough.

She couldn't wait to get home and read it. Stuffing it in her purse, she strode into the restaurant to find that her brothers had found a table and had their heads buried in their menus. Why even bother? She thought. They ordered the same thing every time they were here, usually the cheapest thing on the menu. Hego was such a penny-pincher. She reluctantly sat down with them, fighting the urge to just leave them there and go home to eat something she actually wanted for a change. The whole time they were there her mind was on her magazine and she thought of nothing else.

Once they finished dinner they went back home. Shego immediately rushed to her room and shut the door, locking it behind her as she went. She plopped down on the bed and pulled the magazine out of her bag, eagerly dying to read it. She smiled contently to herself as she slowly flipped through the pages.

About halfway through the magazine she found a section called, "The want ads". She was surprised that it would even have such a section, and it did indeed have many openings. She skimmed through each of them curiously, wondering why a villain would put out an ad. Most of these were for office work at a place she never heard of called, "Henchco". Office work wasn't her thing. Shego knew she couldn't start off as a fulltime villain yet, but maybe she could start off being a side-kick to get some experience in the field first. She was already physically capable and would be perfect for the job temporarily till she got the knack of things.

Her eyes came to a stop on one listing in particular one posted by someone who went by the name of Dr. Drakken. Interesting name, she thought. The name alone caught her attention so she read further.

Looking for a full-time side-kick to help me in my conquest to take over the world. Pay is negotiable. Must be physically capable to perform many possibly heavy-duty tasks.

"Sounds great!" She said out-loud to herself. Now how would she go around to setting up an interview? She pondered. She scanned the page and found at the very bottom a small inscription, "Contact the editors of VILLANESS for further information on any of the job opportunities listed."

Shego picked up her cell-phone and dialed the number. A man picked up. "Hello, my name is Roger co-editor for Villainess. How may I help you?" He asked in a sort of robotic tone.

"Hi, my name is Shego. I was reading a listing in the want ads and would like to apply for a job." She told him in almost whispering, hoping her brothers wouldn't hear her.

"Who was it posted by Miss Shego?" Roger asked politely.

"Doctor…um…" She looked at the article again, not remembering the name. "Dr. Drakken!" She blurted out.

"Oh, I'm sorry. But Dr. Drakken is currently incarcerated. Is there any other job you'd be interested in?" He told her. She frowned.

"No…thank you." Click.

She tossed the magazine on the table beside her bed and lay there staring at the ceiling. "I guess I won't become a villain as soon as I thought." She mumbled with a sigh. The only hope Shego had was that perhaps in the next issue there would be more job listings for a side-kick. In the meantime however, she was still stuck with her brothers and still stuck being something she didn't want to be anymore, a hero.
