AU. KiGo, eventually. For the past four years, Shego was the only nightshift security at the Go City Bank… but not for long.
FYI: This fic will probably not have a major villain in it… so I just thought I'd let you all know.

Chapter 1: The New Employee
(Wednesday)
An ear deafening ring was heard throughout the large suburban house; and it immediately made Shego wished she'd taken the batteries out of the damn thing when she got home. She took a quick glance at the small screen on the back of the phone, and frowned. Her boss was calling her.
"Whaddaya want!?" she sleepily screamed into the phone as she lay back down on her back.
"Good afternoon Sunshine!" a much too cheerful female voice greeted.
She sighed "What do you want? And I told you to stop calling me that!"
"Can't I just call my favorite security guard to check how she's doing?"
"No." she bluntly answered, ready to press the 'off' button.
"Actually, I called to remind you of something…"
"About what?" she asked, rolling her eyes. Knowing her boss, it was probably something stupid like reminding Shego to go to work… or reminding her that she had the day off. How could someone forget the day when you don't have to work!? Seriously…
"Your new co-worker."
"SHIT! How could've I forgotten about her!?" she quickly mumbled under her breath as her eyes widened.
"What was that?" her boss asked with slight amusement.
"Nothing… do I have to be there early or some shit like that?"
"Of course."
"Why does she have to come in today? She'll only work two days this week… why not next week?" She asked annoyingly.
This time her boss sighed "Haven't I already told you?" she paused "Yeah, I'm pretty damn sure I have… anyways, it's because the agency is sending her over here today. We can't say no to their generous offer."
"Why is that?" she asked with a yawn while sitting up and rubbing her eyes.
"Because, my dear Shego… she was their top student graduating from their private university this year."
"Whatever… I'm hanging up now. I have no intentions of speaking to you for more that two minutes when I'm off the clock"
"Just try to be here-" she quickly tried to add, but heard a small click go off.
Shego sighed and looked down at her black blanket. She turned to her nightstand and saw that it was ten minutes 'till one "Damn bitch woke me up way too early… and thanks to her I won't be able to fall back asleep" she said as she sluggishly got out of bed.
She walked into the living room and unplugged a charger out of the outlet; then turned on her small flip phone. She quickly noticed she had a missed call from her friend Junior and smiled "I wonder what that pretty boy wants this time…" she said to herself as she pressed the button with a green phone to call her friend.
"Hello?" a male voice asked.
"Why'd you call me?"
"Oh… I just wanted to ask…"
"Make it quick! I still have to exercise, eat, shower, and get some paperwork done before going to work!"
"Right. I had forgotten you worked today… since y'know, I don't work."
"Don't rub it in."
"Anyways, I was just going to ask if we're still hanging out on the weekend… since you said you might be busy training your new co-worker."
"Duh. Haven't we been hanging out since we were kids? Besides, I'm off the clock remember? I had my schedule changed last month. "
"Oh yeah! By the way… do you have anything for me to do to keep me busy? I am so bored!"
"Geeze, I'm sorry your dad's a multi-billionaire than can buy you anything your little heart desires!"
"You really have no idea how boring it is…"
"At least you don't have to work to make a living."
"I guess I should start calling our friends and tell them where we're meeting. We're at your place this weekend right?"
"Yeah, but I still don't get why you moved out of your dad's mansion… we could've had some really awesome parties"
"I already told you that daddy always wanted to include me in his job meetings… I find no interest in them."
"Whatever. I have to go now; I'll see you over the weekend and don't forget to buy the beer."
"Same brand as always?"
"No… get something fancy and foreign this time. I'm sure it'll be a cinch for you to get."
"Oh goody! It gives me something to do until then! Thank you Shego, see you then."
"Later" she said as she cut off the call. She quickly got dressed in her sweats, grabbed her MP3 player, a water bottle, and headed out the door for her daily jog.
--(Same Day at 6pm; Bank--
The day seemed long to Shego, usually the day flew by without her noticing. She sighed as she got out of her car and leaned against it, a small breeze picked up and she put on her jacket. She took a cigarette from her pocket and lit it. She looked around the bank's parking lot and saw that most of the employees were leaving for the day; she wished she could be leaving from work…
A few minutes later she heard her name being called out behind her and rolled her eyes. She recognized who's annoying voice that was, there was no mistake "What the fuck do you want now Will?"
"Such crude language for a woman. Most women I know are a bit more civilized."
"Yeah, well… I'm not like most women am I?" she asked sarcastically as she stepped on her cigarette.
"Couldn't agree with you more."
"Seriously Will… what the hell do you want?"
"Nothing much… just stopping by to let you know that I got a raise."
"Really?" she asked in a bored tone "I know I make more money a week than you make in a month."
"Oh? How are you so sure about that?" he quickly countered.
"Okay. A) I live in a house, you live in an apartment. B) I own a car that's from this year, you have a car that's older than you-"
"My father gave that to me!"
"C) I can financially afford to screw around every weekend, while you have a part time job at the mall-"
"Owning expensive things has nothing to do with it… what's the real reason?"
"Let's just say the boss and I are really good friends." she said with a smirk.
He laughed "Are you trying to imply that you have an affair with her?"
"Maybe… maybe not." she said nonchalantly as she began walking towards the entrance of the bank "Go home Will... I can take care of the bank for the night."
"Well, call me if you wuss out… I'll have my gun ready all night!" he yelled after her, while Shego only threw him the bird.
Before entering the bank, Shego quickly popped in a piece of gum in her mouth "Looks like it'll be another long night…" she whispered to herself as she looked at the skyscrapers behind her.
As soon as the thick sliding doors opened in front of her, Shego saw her boss "Shego! Nice of you to join us!" she greeted with a smile, but soon changed to a small frown "Why do you smell like smoke?"
"Why do you think?" she asked as she walked past her.
"I thought you were quitting" she asked as her eye looked at Shego.
"Well Betty, obviously I haven't. Now excuse me while I go to my office."
"I'll be in there shortly to give you a brief report on our new employee."
"Sure" she quickly said as she walked across the other side of the room to reach her office. She took a quick glance to the left and saw a door next to hers; It read 'Will Du' in big bold black letters in the front "That bastard…" she mumbled under her breath "One of these days I swear I'm going to kill him."
She stopped in front of a door next to Will's. It was similar in every detail to his, except the door in front of her had her name on it. She quickly unlocked it and went in while slamming the door loudly behind her. She removed her jacket and threw on a char in a corner, turned the lights on, and went to go sit in her chair. She put her feet on the desk, took out a small book from her drawer, and began to start a Sudoku puzzle.
Minutes later her boss entered her office "Haven't I told you to knock when you're coming in?"
"I think you're forgetting who's in charge here." she commented as she sat in a chair in front of Shego's desk.
She sighed and sat upright "Well, this IS my office."
"Shego Honey, just because I-"
"Is it necessary to call me 'Honey'?" she interrupted.
Betty slightly smiled "Where was I?... oh, just because I refuse to fire you, doesn't mean you can walk all over me. I can fire you on the spot if I wanted to…"
"The question is… do you want to fire me?"
"Must we go into this now? Your co-worker will be here soon."
"Answer the question."
Betty was quiet for a moment, she stared at Shego, who smirked back "No." she curtly answered.
"Damn right you don't! Without me, this place would've been robbed clean! Especially with that bastard Will working here."
"Do not make fun of my nephew… it's bad enough that he gets paid less than you."
"Right. I've forgotten about than" she said with a grin "Would you mind running it by me again why I get paid more than he does?"
"Not right now. We don't have much time before she arrives."
"Oh right before I forget… Will thinks we're having an affair." she bluntly stated.
"What?... Why?"
"I don't know why, he said it. I mean, I never even knew you rolled that way."
"I don't… I have an ex-husband if you recall."
"That's nothing to be proud of!"
"I'm not saying I am."
"Oh. Well I just want to clear this up, there's now way in hell that I would have sex with you. You're hot and all, but you're just too old."
"Forty-seven is not old"
"When you're twenty years older than I am, in my book it is."
"Look, I'll talk to my nephew later. Right now I just want to finish this up and wait until Kimberly shows up so I can go home."
"So her name's Kimberly? yech…"
"Yes, her full name is Kimberly Ann Possible."
"Great, anything else?"
"Well she's coming from across the country, so she's new to the city. So it would be nice of you to show her around the city over the weekend"
"Keyword, 'would'… sorry boss, not going to happen. By the way how old is she?"
"Not forty-seven." She said with a frown.
"Aww c'mon Betty! You know I was kidding! To prove it to you, I'll make sweet love to you right now" she said as she stood up.
"I just love your sense of humor" Betty sarcastically commented as she glared at Shego with her eye "She's twenty-two" she said as Shego sat back down.
"Wow… a year younger than when I first started working here. Impressive, but that doesn't mean she'll be better."
"Of course. Now then, I'll be waiting for her over in my office. I'll bring her over here when she arrives."
"Yeah yeah" she said with a wave of her hand as Betty was exiting, but looked over at her as she opened the office door "Betty?"
She turned around "Yeah?"
"We should hang out sometime, so we can find you a boyfriend. You're too old to still be single."
"Oh? What a generous offer."
"Well, I'm just that good of a friend."
"You really mean it?"
"Yeah."
"What about you?"
"What about me?"
"You're still single too."
"Yeah well, I like being single… besides, I'm not quite ready for another boyfriend. Especially not after Erik"
"It's been nine months … forget about him. We'll go out sometime soon alright? And we can go have some drinks on me. But right now I have to go wait for Kimberly out in my office." she said as she exited Shego's office.
--(30 Minutes Later)--
"Hello?" a red headed young woman asked as she entered the building "Hello?"
Betty poked her head out of the office "Kimberly?" she asked as she walked towards the young woman.
"Yeah… but I'd prefer it if you'd call me 'Kim'. I'm not really fond of 'Kimberly'." she said as she extended out her right hand.
Betty took Kim's hand in her own and shook it vigorously "An honor to meet you Kim! I'm Betty Director, your boss."
"Pleased to meet you… so this is where I'll be working huh?"
"Pretty much. But keep in mind that there's more to this place than meets the eye." she said with a smile.
Kim looked confused "Okay…?"
"You'll understand later. Now come with me so you can meet someone." she said as she broke into a brisk walk.
"Okay, cool."
"I know it's very soon… but I would like to ask you a favor."
"Not at all, it would be my pleasure."
"Right. I want you to keep an open mind about this person… she may seem pretty unconventional at first, but I assure you that she can be the most loyal person you'll ever meet once you get on her good side." she said as she stopped in front of Shego's office.
"Well then, I guess I should get on her good side as soon as possible." she commented with a slight laugh.
"I would strongly advice that… ready to go in?"
"Yeah."
"Oh… and one more thing… she looks a bit different than the rest of us." She said lowly with her hand on the door knob.
"How so?" she cautiously ventured to ask.
"Her skin color… it isn't what you're normally used to… just don't ask her about it, she's very self conscious about it… just let her bring it up and do the talking when she does."
"Got it."
"Alright then," Betty said as changed into a new persona instantly "This…" she opened Shego's office "Is your co-worker slash supervisor….?" She stopped at the door and stared at the back of Shego's chair. She looked back at Kim with an uncertain expression "One second please." she said as she flashed a nervous smile and quickly walked to Shego's chair "Oh for God's sake Shego!" she yelled as she slapped the side of Shego's head with the back of her hand."
"What the fuck was that for!?" she groggily asked as she stood up.
"Why the hell are you sleeping when you're supposed to be finishing up your paperwork?"
"Well I wouldn't be asleep is someone hadn't woken me up this afternoon!"
Betty looked at Shego sternly, while Shego glared back. She nodded her head in the direction of the door, while Shego looked bewildered and turned her head towards the door.
Kim game a nervous giggle and waved "Hi."
"Please come in! Don't mind Shego." Betty said as she pointed at her employee.
Kim did as she was told and stretched out her right hand for the second time that day "Hello, I'm Kimberly Ann Possible… and I guess I will be working with you."
Shego took Kim's hand in her own and briefly shook it "I'm Shego." she said as she quickly put her hand in her pocket "I'll be your supervisor."
"Her hand… it was… green…?" Kim thought as she looked at the floor.
"Good, good. We're off to great start!" Betty said with a much too cheerful smile "I guess I'll leave you two get acquainted with each other. I'll see you both tomorrow morning." she said as she quickly exited the room.
There was an awkward feeling lingering in the air, neither of the two spoke, Kim looked up and saw Shego's dark hair cast a shadow on her face "So…" she began, breaking the ice "Where's the rest of the nightshift employees?"
Shego sighed and sat back at her desk "We ARE the nightshift."
"Oh… so just the two of us huh?"
"Yup" she said as she began sorting some paperwork "Feel free to go and walk around so you can familiarize yourself with the place."
"Umm okay…" she said as she walked towards the door.
"Possible?"
Kim turned around quickly "Yes?"
"You should have your own uniform by early next week. That way you don't have to borrow the bank's smelly one"
"Ok. Soo… I'm going to go out now okay?" she said as she pointed at the door.
"Knock yourself out. I'll be done in a while."
Kim gave a nod and exited the room, quietly shutting the door.
Once Shego could no longer hear Kim's footsteps, she slammed her head on the desk "Why the hell did I ever agree to this?! What the hell am I suppose to do with the girl!?" she asked herself "I guess I'm going to have to… to… become friends with her" she said as raised her head back up "Betty owes me big time for this! I was perfectly fine working alone! But nooo! 'You need company! You can't always be alone in here! There will be a time when you'll need backup' she said… company my ass" she grunted as she went back to her paperwork "At least she's a cute kid and doesn't seem like she'll be too much trouble for me. Maybe I can even get her to do most of the work around here." she said as she sighed.
On the other side of Shego's door, Kim walk down a long hall, hoping she wouldn't get lost "I wonder what Betty meant that there's more to this place than meets the eye…" she asked out loud "And Shego is so weird… she was a completely different person when she was with Betty… and her hand-" just then Kim widen her eyes "Shoot!" She muttered under her breath and stopped walking. She slowly turned her head towards the wall and looked at a painting of a large boat "I think I know what Betty meant about there's more to this place than meets the eye... this place must be bugged! I mean… it IS the biggest bank in this half of the country…" she thought as she cautiously kept walking down the hall, making sure to talk under her breath.
--(4 Hours Later)--
"I'll be out in awhile" Kim mumbled as she mimicked Shego's words; She was walking around the perimeter of the lobby for the fifty-eighth time (she was keeping count), and she hadn't heard a noise come from Shego's office all night.
On her sixty-fifth time around, she heard a phone ringing in the distance. She paid close attention and walked in the direction of the ringing. Half way across the lobby the ringing stopped, but soon started up again. This time, Kim sprinted in the direction of the noise. She eventually stopped in front of a large door, she read 'Betty' in the front "Should I go in?" she asked herself as she placed a hand on the handle. Knowing the phone was on its last rings, she entered Betty's office and quickly answered it "Hello?" she uncertainly asked.
"Kim?" a female voice asked "It's Betty."
Kim let a sigh of relief escape her mouth "I should have known…"
"I was hoping you were the one that would answer… how's Shego treating you?"
"Well…" she hesitated, she didn't want to 'snitch' on Shego, but it WAS her boss.
"Yes?" Betty asked in amusement.
"I haven't heard a sound come from her office all night…"
"Hmm… good thing I called you before going to bed…"
"Betty?- I mean is it okay if I call you 'Betty'? Or would you prefer 'Miss Director' or 'Boss'?" she quickly asked.
"You don't have to be so formal Kim, we do try to have some fun at work!" she said in between giggles "But, Betty is fine."
"Okay."
"As for Shego… it would be useless to cell her office extension. Knowing her, she probably unplugged the phone. Do you have a cell phone on you?"
"Yeah."
"Would you mind calling my house so you can get Shego for me?"
"Not at all." she said.
A minute later, Kim dialed Betty's house phone "Kim?"
"Yes."
"Okay, great. Now take the phone to Shego."
"Roger" she said as she left Betty's office. A moment later she was in front of Shego's office, she slowly opened the door and poked her head in and quickly shut the door again "Umm Betty?" she loudly whispered.
"Yes?"
"Shego's asleep."
"What!? Are you sure?
"Well… she did have her head down. And I could've sworn I saw a pool drool on her desk."
"Wake her up this instant! I'm not paying her to nap around!"
"Umm… okay" she said as she opened the door. She walked close to Shego and poked her on the shoulder "Shego?" no answer "Shego?" she called out again only to have a snore as a reply "Betty, she's not waking up."
"Put me on speaker and get the phone close to her ear."
Kim did as she was told "Okay."
"SHEGO!!" Betty bellowed.
Shego quickly woke up, she looked at Kim and frowned "It's for you." she sheepishly said as she handed Shego the phone.
"She wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand and put the phone next to her ear "Hello?"
"Shego…" she replied in a cooing tone "Honey… WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" Betty demanded.
Shego scrunched up her nose and moved the phone away from her ear "Sleeping."
"Shouldn't you be training Kim and showing her around the place?"
Shego looked up and saw Kim, she had her hands behind her back and was looking away from the scene happening in front of her "Yeah yeah… I'll get to that now." she said with a heavy sigh as she turned off the phone "Sorry about that…"she said as she looked at Kim "Did you already take a look around the place?"
"Yes" she said as Shego handed her phone back to her "But I haven't gone to the second floor."
"Well then, I guess we should get to that right now."
Halfway up the stairs, Kim had the urge to ask a question that had been bothering her in the back of her mind "Shego?"
"What?"
"Why are we the only two nightshift employees? I mean… this is the biggest bank on this side of the country right?"
"Doy… but I'm not your regular everyday security guard, and you ARE the top graduating student from the agency…"
"I see…" she said as her mind trailed off "Not your everyday security guard? What does she mean by that?" she thought, but was soon broken from them when Shego spoke up.
"We're here."
"It's kinda spooky up here…" she said as she squinted in the dim light.
Shego turned to her left and began walking down the hallway "You get used to it after awhile."
Throughout the night, Shego took Kim from hallway to hallway and told her what each room was for, gave her the codes necessary for opening the back rooms, and showed her where all the security cameras where located at. But, Kim never saw a vault the whole night; Shego didn't even mention it once.
--(6:30am)--
"Good morning!" Betty greeted as she entered the building "How was your first day of work Kim?"
"It was good." she said as she smiled "I'm just tired now, but I guess it's to be expected on my first day."
"Well, your shift is almost over. The others should be here in about half an hour."
"Sounds good."
"Where's Shego?"
"She's patrolling the area upstairs."
"Ah. That's good… so she showed you around the place, correct?"
"Yes… but…"
"But?"
"I never saw a vault. I mean, we went trough every room on both floors… and this IS a bank."
Betty smiled and looked behind her as she heard approaching footsteps "Shego?"
Shego cursed under her breath at the sight of her boss "Why are you here so early?"
"I was just checking up on Kim… I heard you haven't shown her the vaults."
"Damn… I guess I forgot about that, since I really don't go down there."
"Alright then, I guess we'll have to get to that soon." She said a much too cheery smile "Now, continue as you were" she said as she walked off in the direction of her office.

And, CUT!! Okay so I started a new fic (as if you haven't noticed O.o), yay or nay? So as mentioned above, no major villains in his fic, why? Because in my other fic, College, it's what's causing my major writer's block… along with a broken computer (which is now semi-fixed), a few weeks without a computer of my own or internet, and then discovering Photoshop on my cousin's laptop!
Maybe I should've finished college before I started this one, I did try, I REALLY did… but I didn't really like what I was coming up with, so that fic is on a hiatus, until I can come up with something I'm happy with.
So here's my newest fic, it'll probably have shorter chapters than college though :\... and yes that characters might be a bit, or a lot, OOC… but bear with me.
