A/N:

Hello! The summary may seem really weird but it's the only way I could think to word it. The plot is complicated, which makes the summary complicated. But the story itself is one I've been writing and editing for several months now. It's rated T for now but that will probably change later, due to language, or other things. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Let's do this! Shego thought while simultaneously lighting her hands with bright, superheated plasma. She stared down her opponent while feeling the plasma lick ather forearms in the form of flaring fire. The plasma flowed easily through her gloves, she flexed her fingers in anticipation as she waited for the hero to make the first move.

Kim possible tried to hide a smile from her face, It's been a while Shego, can't say I haven't missed it… Kim started running at the green skinned woman, launching herself into the air to kick Shego, who ducked and spun around with ease. Kim landed past her and turned to face the green woman, who was already there, resulting in Kim receiving an uppercut to her jaw. Kim stepped back, trying to push down the throbbing pain of her jaw and teeth before Shego came at her again, but Shego just stood there with her hands on her hips, her trademark smirk making its debut.

"A little out of practice are we Princess?" Shego said, politely waiting for Kim to return to a fighting stance.

Kim glared at Shego and brought her fists up to her face, and gestured Shego towards her, ready for combat. Shego's smile deepened at the gesture and extinguished her plasma, bringing her slightly smoking hands up to her face and nodded. Plasma was great, but sometimes a fair fist fight was even better.

Kim acted first, she lunged at Shego stepping forward and leaning to put as much force into her right hand that she could. Shego saw it and dodged it ducking under Kim's arm to throw a series of quick and hard punches into Kim's abdomen. Kim doubled over, backing away again, allowing Shego to kick her chest hard enough to make the hero fall onto her back.

Maybe I am a little out of practice. Kim thought, chastising herself for letting her guard down for the second time.

Oh, princess, you are making this too easy… Shego thought with excitement, approaching Kim again, this time without waiting for her to get up. The taste of victory had overtaken Shego's good sportsmanship.

Kim was trying to get up when she saw Shego coming at her again, but she rolled to the side just in time. Shego rolled onto the ground, taking no time before getting back up again.

Kim was still woozy from the sharp, throbbing pain in her chest and lower back, but she shook her head to clear and focus her thoughts. Where is she? Kim thought with slight fear, looking around, disorientedly. Shego battle screamed and fell from the ceiling, knocking Kim to the ground and pinning the cheerleader once more. Kim pushed back, her wrists were in Shego's grasp. Kim's face was composed fully of anger as they struggled to pin each other down. Kim won the struggle and got her right foot free and yanked it up enough to kick Shego hard in the throat. The kick was hard enough to make the villain go flying to land on her back and tumble across the floor. The landing looked painful and even Kim winced at the knocked out villain before getting up and turning to return back to Ron to finish the mission, now that Shego was safely out of the way.

But Shego wasn't out cold, she was breathing raggedly from the kick. She struggled to breathe for a few seconds, partly because of the immense pain and partly because of her sheer fury. Shego felt anger roll through her body. Lighting up her plasma all the way to her elbows. Shego rolled over painfully and saw the hero walking happily away, She gave no warning before hurdling a large ball of plasma directly at the back of the hero.

Kim wasn't expecting the plasma and took the full force of it in the center of her back. It burned through her mission clothes and sent the girl to the floor. Kim didn't even protect herself from falling and landed on the ground in a hollow thump.

Shego stopped breathing, she had seriously hurt her, she should've felt victorious, but she didn't. She felt a sick sense of guilt and remorse wash over her, completely extinguishing her anger, leaving only remorse. She ignored her own pain and ran over to the girl. "No no nononono" Shego muttered under her breath, she reached the girl, "Princess?" she asked almost too quiet to hear.

"uuugghhmmghh" was the only response from Kim, who was burned, but alive. Shego breathed a sigh of relief and started breathing normally. She reached out towards the cheerleader's face which was obscured by her red hair and pushed back the offending strands. Kim was about to pass out, from pain, but Shego saw her eyes flash in fear as they scanned her face. Kim had never been afraid of her before.

"Kim. I'm not going to hurt you. You're really hurt, but I can only help you if you can trust me." Shego said, her voice nearly cracking. a tiny nod came from the cheerleader and Shego turned to look at the burn. The burn area was a circle with a diameter of about sixteen inches in the center of Kim's back. Any clothing within that diameter ceased to exist. The skin within the diameter however, was still there, charred, red, and slightly bloody but still there. Shego breathed another sigh of relief, it would hurt for a weeks but it wasn't going to permanently damage her organs.

"Princess are you still with me?" Shego asked lowering her face so Kim could see it.

"mmm-hmm" Kim replied with a nod. Kim was clearly trying not to show weakness in front of her enemy but tears were still rolling down her face, and her breathing was shallow and ragged, with the softest sounds of pain imbedded in each breath.

Shego lost her breath again, a tear fell from her eye but she wiped it away quickly. "princess, I didn't mean to-" Shego struggled to form her anguished thoughts into words. "I didn't mean to."

Shego sighed, collected her emotions, and tried to speak again. "Princess, I can help you but I need to carry you towards my jet, ok? It has a first aid kit." Shego said with slight rush and panic in her voice. "So if you can get onto your knees then I can put you on my shoulder. Can you try to do that?"

Kim paused and then nodded, she knew it was gonna hurt and prepared herself for the pain. With a weak groan she pushed herself off the ground and with yelp of pain moved her right knee to her chest in a swift movement. Shego nodded and grasped the grasped the red head's shoulders. Kim brought her right and then left hand onto Shego's forearms and brought her left knee forward. She looked up into green woman's eyes and faintly nodded. Shego understood and lowered her hands to the girl's midsection and dragged her closer. Shego then moved and put Kim's stomach onto her right shoulder.

Shego lifted Kim with another yelp from Kim which brought more tears to her emerald eyes, these ones she couldn't wipe away because she was holding the cheerleader steady on her shoulder. Shego started walking and walked out of the empty warehouse and towards her jet which she knew was less than a hundred feet from the warehouse. About halfway from the warehouse to her jet, Drakken stepped out from beside it and gave a quizzical look to Shego. Only when Shego made it to the jet did he dare to ask questions.

"Uuuuhhhh, Shego?" Drakken asked, tapping his fingers together, "What exactly are you doing?"

"Can it! Get the first aid or so help me I will light your ass up." Shego said with dark fury.

Still confused but also terrified Drakken immediately went to search for the first aid kit in their small black passenger jet. He came back with the kit within twenty seconds, and waited for Shego to gingerly lay Kim down onto the carpet of the jet before handing her the kit. He gasped silently at the burn on the hero's back. Shego looked so angry and concentrated that he didn't bother to ask anymore questions but instead mumbled about needing to use the restroom and left.

Shego surveyed the injuries and she realized that the hero must've passed out from the pain. She opened the first aid kit and took out the burn gauze and large bandages. It was only slightly reassuring that the girl wouldn't have to feel the pain of the treatment.

The burn looked like a mixture of first and mild second degree burns. Shego applied the gauze and cut away what was left of the girl's mission crop top and wrapped a sterile towel around her chest and back. She then used the ace wrap provided in the kit to keep the towel securely over the burn. When she was finished making the make-shift bandage she put Kim on her shoulder again and carried her back towards the warehouse.

Ron was tied to a warehouse beam after he had lost the fight against Drakken. Drakken had left and gone back to their jet. I told Kim this was a bad idea! Ron thought frustrated. I told her to take care of Drakken first. He was becoming concerned but was relieved by the sound of someone walking towards him, he assumed it was Kim coming to untie him.

"You had to go and fight Shego! you always do that! why can't you for once-" Ron stopped talking as soon as he realized it wasn't Kim. Technically it was Kim, but she was passed out on the shoulder of the villainess Shego.

"Uhmm, hey Shego" Ron feigned friendliness, but then got angry at the condition of Kim, "Wait, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!" Ron practically screamed at an unamused Shego, who was too busy setting Kim down gingerly on the warehouse floor.

"Listen Stoppable!" Shego said to get Ron's attention. "I am gonna untie you if you promise to get her a ride to get her to a hospital. Got it?"

"Uhhh, yeah, but why would you be helping her?" Ron asked as the ropes around him fell slack by a slice of a plasma finger. "Is this one of your traps?"

Shego didn't answer the question, "Just get her to a hospital, or both of you will need medical attention."

Ron gulped and nodded quickly. He started contacting Wade as he watched Shego walk out of the room and back towards her jet.

Kim woke up to the sound of her own heart monitor beeping. She could feel a warm pain like a sunburn on her back and sat up with a wince. She knew she must've been medicated because she felt rather woozy. She rubbed her eyes and looked around, taking in her sterile surroundings.

It was a normal and medium sized hospital room with just one bed. The door was closed and Ron was snoring in one of the visitor's chairs.

"Hey!" Kim said trying to get Ron's attention, but she failed, her voice was raspier and weaker than she had expected, nevertheless she raised her voice so it could be heard. "RON!"

Ron was startled awake by the yell and his eyes widened when he realized Kim was awake.

"Kimmie!" Ron enthused, his mole rat peeked out of his pocket and made a similar, yet less coherent remark. Ron got up and walked towards the bed and was going to bombard her with questions if noise from outside the room hadn't interrupted them.

"I don't care about your rules! If you stand in my way you might need a room of your own!" The voice was slightly muffled through the wall but it could still be clearly heard and identified as Shego. No more than a few seconds later did Shego come through the door and slammed it behind her, looking frustrated after targeting what must have been a staff member at the hospital. Her anger cooled as soon as she laid eyes on Kim in the hospital bed. Her eyes turned from anger to sorrow and back to her façade. Shego sighed stepped towards the bed.

"Umm, Kim, if you need me I will be outside, ok? ok good. Yell for help if you need it, bye." Ron said quickly and awkwardly, he did not want to get caught in between an argument or conversation that left him irrelevant. He exited the room rather swiftly and closed the door behind him.

Shego sighed again and sat down on the seat that Ron had been snoring in earlier, she scooted the chair closer to Kim so they were two feet away from each other before speaking, "Do you remember what happened?" Shego said finally, breaking the awkward silence. She just came to check on her condition but now she felt that an explanation, or even an apology was necessary.

"Uhh, I think so, plasma, getting carried, passing out and then this." Kim said slowly recalling what she remembered. "Was that it?" Kim asked, curious why Shego would have any concern at all.

"Yup, that's about it." Shego said, semi-awkwardly. She had thought she wouldn't've remembered anything, but she did. Which wiped out half the reason of her coming here to begin with.

"Shego?" Kim asked.

"Yeah?" Shego said, subconsciously scooting closer.

"Why are you here anyway?" Kim asked carefully, not wanting to provoke the green woman.

"I-, I just, I felt kinda, responsible, I guess." Shego sighed.

"Really? Shego, owning up to your actions isn't really your style." Kim said, with a tinge of irritation in her voice. "Did you forget that you're evil?"

Shego rolled her eyes and got up to pace the room. "I'm not here because I've suddenly changed, princess. I'm only trying to explain why I did what I did." Shego said with apparent frustration.

"I think it's pretty clear why you burned me." Kim said coldly.

"Yeah, it is." Shego agreed, staring down the hero. "But why I saved you isn't."

Kim was left without words. Shego had a point, and she was slightly curious why she went through the trouble of helping her after hurting her.

Shego took a deep breath, "Look, usually, we can fight and spar without serious injury, and somehow its become some kind of subconscious rule for me not to seriously hurt you…" Shego paused, and Kim narrowed her eyes, but she had to agree with her about the rule that was most certainly in place when they fought.

"What I mean is that I didn't mean to hurt you that badly. throwing the plasma at you while your back was turned was cowardly and a mistake. So I'm sorry." The last bit slipped out accidently and Shego could only wait helplessly for Kim's response.

Kim was shocked at the revelation. She somehow subconsciously already knew that Shego wasn't going to ever really hurt her, but she was still shocked all the same. Especially at the apology, she had never heard Shego sincerely apologize for anything in her life, until now.

Shego sighed at the silence, and misread it as anger against herself. She got up from her chair and was going to walk out before she felt a hand on her wrist. Kim stopped her and Shego turned around, "I'm not angry."

Shego sat back down, waiting for what Kim had to say. "I forgive you." Kim said finally, breaking the silence, but not the tension.

"I didn't know you cared," Kim said, instantly regretting the way she had said it.

Shego huffed and rolled her eyes, avoiding Kim's gaze, surprised at her own defensiveness. She recollected quickly, throwing back on her façade and turning to face her again. "Of course, princess. If you were dead, I'd just be bored." She knew that sounded cold, but it also sounded like her usual self.

Kim sighed, she knew it was just Shego's pride talking. She saw that boredom definitely wasn't the only reason. Kim narrowed her eyes, "Mmm-hmm, ok, well, thank you for your concern, it really is absolutely touching. But I'm fine, so you can go back to doing whatever evil thing you have planned for the evening."

Shego laughed softly at the girl's sarcasm, which was surprisingly witty, coming from a hospital bed. "Whatever, princess. See you later." Shego got up and walked towards the door.

"Yeah I guess I will. Thanks for apologizing." Kim said. Right before the door closed, Kim added, "Never knew you were such a softy"

Shego narrowed her eyes and scoffed, "am not" and left the room.

Kim was on her way home in the passenger's seat of her mother's car. She had already explained what had happened to her mother and the car was now in comfortable silence. It was perfect for Kim who needed time to think about what happened that day.

It had started out pretty normal for a Saturday, they had a mission about stolen goods at a warehouse owned by Drakken. They went to investigate and the rest is history.

Did I or did I not already know she cared about me? Kim questioned herself in her mind, hmm… I think on some level I knew, but I didn't know she was ever gonna just come out and say it to my face. I thought she was too cool for that, guess not...

Kim was about to just try to fall asleep when another thought hit her, Do I care about her? I-, I have no idea… I would think so, I mean I know I get a little cranky when I haven't had a good spar… and I always get really excited when we do get to spar. Kim thought about what it would be like if Shego were no more, and they would never spar again, she decided it would be awful. Even though she does have plasma to hold back, I do hold back on fighting sometimes… and I never intend to seriously hurt her either… Whatever the case may be, it doesn't need solving right now.

Shego had arrived to her home long before Kim did, she got there by her private jet and was now getting ready for bed, it had been an exhausting day.

Shego got out of her catsuit and into a t-shirt and a pair of boxer briefs, she didn't care that they were normally for guys, it was the 21st century, and they were comfortable as hell. Shego plopped onto her king sized bed but she was uncomfortable with the feeling she had. She thought back to when Kim had asked her why she cared, and really despite the snarky response, she really didn't know. It definitely wasn't always there, I guess it developed… The first time I started sparring with her I didn't care how she came out of the fight, as long as I won… but now, things are different, I would care, and obviously do care about her health, at least while she is fighting me anyways… What bothered Shego was that no other villain she could think of had this kind of relationship with heroes.

So why me? What is it about the annoying red head that makes me actually care? At least with Drakken its mostly out of monetary concerns and a slight thread of respect… but with Kim? nothing, no reason why I should be feeling this way, SHES a HERO, I AM A VILLAIN, there's no reason that I should've stopped by at the hospital.

Shego shuddered, as a stray, and strange thought crossed her mind. Have I developed feelings for her?

Shego laughed. "Hell no."

She was sure that feelings for the hero was not a possibility, but her mind kept rambling on. But its not like she isn't attractive, I mean she is definitely beautiful and always wears those cut offs, and she is actually is really- Shego stopped her mental rambling and got back to the point, and its not like I don't get attracted to attractive girls, I've been out for like how long now? four years? So that also makes it a possibility.

"Wait." Shego found herself saying rather loudly. "No. This isn't even in the realm of possible." Shego found herself saying again, she had even used hand motions while talking to herself. OK then, time for sleep before I really lose my mind.
