Chapter 1.
A pale skinned teen sighed softly as she allowed herself to fall on her back, the bed beneath her cushioning her fall, her black and green suit blending pleasantly with the décor of her room. Her vision was obscured by her locks that were being played with by the gentle breeze coming from the ajar window, as her hollow emerald eyes stared vacantly at the ceiling above her. Why was it that every time she went on a mission with her brothers, she got blamed for their mistakes? She wasn't anywhere near them when they made their blunders; and yet the finger was always pointed at her. She turned over onto her side, curling into herself. One of her arms moved to the head of her bed and picked up her soft toy and brought it between her chest as she clung on to it. She couldn't remember how long she had had her soft plushy for but she was rather fond of it; and it was the only thing that could bring comfort to her, as well as ease her mind even if it was for a small amount of time. Her brows furrowed as she tried to remember how she had received the toy, her eyes began to glaze as she failed to remember any of it. She wanted to know why her toy comforted her. Why did her brothers always pick on her? Why was she so different? She had many questions that she wanted answers for but she had never found them; and when she asked for answers she would always be told 'you need to find the answers yourself'; or 'you don't need to now'. She was always brushed aside.
The raven-haired teen buried her face in to the soft bear; that she had dubbed 'Henry' because of its shirt and its square framed glasses. She didn't even know what she was even doing around here with these people; she didn't fit in at all. Don't get her wrong; she enjoys helping people, but risking her life every single day, and barely getting anything out of it didn't appeal to her, even when they helped 'save the day' as her older brother would put it; they always had to pay repair damages caused by the villains; even though it was the villains creating the actual damage themselves, the team of hero's had to pay for the damages. Why did these people have to try and make money from them in every single way they could find possible. Is that all it was about to the people they helped save; a service to exploit and get money out of? She hated putting her life out for the majority of the public that probably didn't even deserve to be helped out. They got themselves in their messes so they should easily find a way out of their own mess, without having a 'hero' to come save the day for them. The only thing that she got out of being a hero was a few kicks, and a long term headache. She slumped her shoulders in defeat at the thought of doing this for years to come; she wanted out of this hole. It just wasn't fair for her. She wasn't even allowed out of the tower without being accompanied by one of her idiotic siblings; she didn't even know why they didn't let her leave by herself, but it was beginning to frustrate her. She couldn't even go and use the bathroom without being followed. At least in here, she was given a bit of space to breathe.
A soft knock on her door broke her train of thoughts.
"Shego?"
"What!?" Shego said harshly as she sat up slowly; still embracing Henry. What did that idiot want with her now? Could she not get al least 5 minutes of peace.
"We got some food downstairs, come down and eat." The voice commanded rather then requested the teen to come down to eat.
"I'm not hungry." Shego shot back. She didn't know why she was getting irked by his voice but she didn't like the way she was being ordered around by her older brother.
"Shego…" A tall muscular man walked into her room, still wearing his mission clothing. "You haven't eaten since breakfast so come down and eat" Hego said softly; and yet his voice asserted his authority over her.
"Did I say you could come in?" Shego said icily, she was trying hard to not let her temper snap but she was failing in that department at the moment; no matter how hard she tried not to get angry at him, she always did and she couldn't stop herself from being cold towards him.
"Shego come down and eat now." Hego said sternly. Why wouldn't she listen to him? All he was doing was looking out for her; and she was being….being 'evil' to him in his opinion.
"No, I'm not hungry." Shego repeated herself while her tone started to rise slowly.
"But you've got to eat Shego!" He said, his voice starting to rise to the same level as hers.
"Says who?!" Shego snapped at him. It was taking all her will power just to not lunge at him and beat the crap out of him.
"I do!"
"You're trying to run my life for me! You never let me do what I want" She snapped at him "….why?" Shego's tone changed dramatically and startled Hego for a moment.
"I'm only trying to look out for you," He said softly, yet Shego was having trouble in trying to actually believe that, it sounded so false to her ears; and the more he said it the more she hated him for telling her lies, as if she was naïve.
"Like hell you are! You just want me to fall under your command and do what you want me to do at a drop of a hat…" Shego's emerald eyes were raging, he had just ignited a flame within her and she wasn't about to let it die and become one of his lackeys. Like her other brothers…
"That isn't true Shego!" He hollered back, his determination was not beginning to waver, but instead it was getting stronger.
"Sure it isn't," Shego said sarcastically as she stood up on her bed and looked down at Hego. "That's why its always 'Shego don't leave the Wego's side' 'Shego come with me so we can protect the mayor' …'Shego don't leave my sight'" She took a deep breathe to calm down her nerves but found that it only made it worse. "You never let me do what I want! Its always what you want." Shego bit her lip, as tears slowly began to roll down her face. It just wasn't fair. She was old enough to do what she wanted and yet he ordered her around, and she wasn't going to take anymore of it.
"That's not true Shego." Hego said his voice betraying him; he knew that Shego was right but he couldn't let her do what she wanted, it was against his morale's and he didn't want to see his baby sister end up in jail.
"It is! And you know it!" Shego said while jabbing him in the shoulder; she felt betrayed by him, he didn't trust her to make her own decisions; just because she couldn't remember anything that happened a few months ago didn't mean she wasn't trustable.
"She-"
"GET OUT OF MY GOD DAMN ROOM!" Shego screamed at him. She didn't want to be anywhere near him right now. Scratch that, she didn't want anything to do with him.
"Bu-"
"JUST GET THE FUCK OUT!" Shego pointed at the door with her free arm; the other was holding Henry to her person. She wasn't about to take anymore of his crap; no matter how right it sounded, it was still false to her in her own opinion.
Hego walked to the door and looked back before saying "I expect to see you downstairs later, but right now it looks like you need time to think of your actions and clear your head." With that said he left her alone.
"I hate you." She whispered to herself, as she slumped on to her bed. All Hego did was confuse her and act like he was above everyone in the room. Why the hell did he have to act like he was always right? His ego annoyed to no end and she hated him for it. She hated him for taking away her freedom and she was leaving if that was what it would take to never to see the bastard again.
Shego stood up and wiped her tears from her face, leaving Henry on her bed; she went to her wardrobe; and changed her clothing to a pair of baggy blue jeans and a black hoody; she then removed a duffel bag from the wardrobe and began packing some necessities that she would need to survive by herself. After she had packed up some clothing, and a blanket she went to her bed and removed her pillow case; she then removed a wad of notes after prying open the zip; that she had sewn in. After she had secured her money in her baggy jean pockets she moved towards her soft plushie.
Shego picked up Henry and held him; she wanted to take him so much with her but she couldn't, she didn't need any reminders of this god forsaken place. Shego wiped a stray tear from her face at the thought of leaving her most prized possession here. She gently placed him on her pillow case and walked to her window. She had always wondered why her window was sealed shut; it was barely opened enough to let her hand slide under. When she had asked Hego, he told her that it was because it got painted shut from the outside; she always doubted that was the case but she wasn't going to let the window remain that way. She was opening it whether Hego liked it or not. Her hands began to glow a faint green slowly becoming brighter as the seconds passed. She waited for her plasma to become hot enough before placing her hands on the window and leaving it there long enough to melt a hole big enough for her to slip through.
Once she was on the window sill; she looked back at her empty room, she wasn't going to miss anything from here, a small smile played at her lips before she leapt off the window sill. She didn't know where she was going but it felt good to be free from that hell hole.
