Sheela was browsing through the racks at the new Club Banana store. She had just found a precious looking green and white patterned top. She knew this would look great against her fair skin and framed by her long black hair. It also matched her eyes. Then a commotion came from the mall outside the store.
A woman screamed. Sheela saw her through the large entrance to the store. A man was running from her, carrying something.
"Stop!" the tanned woman yelled, "That's my purse!"
Sheela wondered why these things happen just when she finds the good clothes. Sheela dutifully and quickly hung the top back on the rack. Then even faster, she ran behind another rack of clothes near the entrance and pressed her belt buckle. In a flash of green, her clothes became a green and black patterned jumpsuit. Her hair and skin returned to their true coloring, similar to before but now tinged with green. She ran out of the store and into the mall, never having broken her stride.
Shego then ran after the purse-snatcher, and once close enough, jumped and flipped over his head, landing in his path. "That bag clashes with your pants."
The thief was surprised at both her appearance and the quip. He stopped.
"Give the lady back her bag," Shego commanded.
The blonde man hesitated.
"Do you really want to do this the hard way?" Shego asked as her right hand became bathed in green fire.
The thief glanced around at the crowd that was forming around them. He dropped the bag and ran in a random direction. A mall security guard blocked him.
"Going somewhere, son?" the old man drawled.
The thief just sulked.
Shego picked up the bag as the owner walked up to her.
"Thank you," she said.
"No problem," Shego smiled. She then called to the guard, "Need us, Harry?"
"A quick statement would be just wonderful," he smiled as he led the thief away by the arm.
"He just needs us at the mall office for a few minutes," Shego told the woman. "It's this way," she led the still slightly shocked woman there.
After she made her statement, she said goodbye to Harry and Gwyn, the purse owner. She went straight into the nearby restroom and changed back. The new suits donated to Team Go by a grateful science laboratory made hero work much less inconvenient. In fact, the new suits made it possible for her to have a 'Secret Identity' for the first time since the comet changed all their lives forever.
She went straight to Club Banana and the rack on which she had found the cute top. She checked three times. It was no longer there.
They say crime doesn't pay. Well, neither does crime fighting.
Team Go was established from the estate of the Go family, descendants of the founder of Go City. Team Go itself was comprised of the surviving members of that family, Sheela and her brothers.
Sheela guided the investment accounts while Henry lead the team. Go Tower was a good place to live. Sheela found early on that she had a talent for finance, among other things. Therefore she usually had money for clothes and other nice things. It sure beat her old allowance.
Still, she'd give up that and the super power to get her parents back. But that wasn't going to happen. Her life was more like a comic book than a Disney cartoon.
After a few minutes, she found a white skirt that was worth buying. When she presented her card to the cashier, the girl seemed impressed.
"Are you related to Team Go?" the cashier asked.
"I don't think so," Sheela lied. She made a mental note to have new identities formed for occasions like these. Sheela found privacy precious. Her brothers might appreciate some too.
In a laboratory, elsewhere in Go City, an excited young man was running. "Dr. Double! Dr. Double!" He cried.
"Alex!" bellowed an old man as he stepped out of an office set in the corner. "How many times have I told you? My name is 'DuBelle'!"
"I think I've done it, Doctor DueBell!" cried the assistant.
"Done what?" the Doctor asked. He was still annoyed. Alex had gotten closer, but was still not pronouncing the name correctly.
"I think I managed to replicate one of the 'Go powers', Sir."
"This may be worth a moment away from my own formulas, then," Dr. DuBelle waved his assistant into the lab proper.
Alex brought his boss over to view a large, handheld device. "Watch as I cause this parrot," he indicated a caged bird on the table, "to shrink down to half its size!"
Alex picked up the device, aimed it at the bird. He then pressed a control on the device with his other hand. Uneven, wavy rays emitted from the device and washed over the caged bird. It squawked and seemed to contort physically. A moment later, a disgusting mass of flesh and feathers, about half the bird's original size, fell from the perch it had sat upon.
Alex gaped at the cage. "That's not quite what I expected," he said, shocked.
Dr. DuBelle did not hide his disappointment either. He scowled, "It reduced in size, all right." He patted Alex on the back sarcastically, "You might have a weapon there, though." He left the stunned assistant, "Now excuse me while I continue my biological equations."
Shego docked the motorboat at the dock on the island of Go Tower. She used her 'Go Glow' to enter the main door.
"Hey, Sis!" several voices called out.
Sheela just grunted a greeting in response.
"What's got you down?" asked one of the twins. It was hard to tell which one, especially since they got their powers.
"I had some catch some thief at the mall!"
"So?" said Hego. "I thought you liked the action of a good capture."
"Not when it makes me lose a chance to buy a nice new top!"
"What do you need new clothes for?" asked a twin.
"I just love these new suits!" said Mego. "I hate doing laundry."
"You think I want to dress like this all the time?" yelled Shego. "It's bad enough I hardly get any time to just be Sheela Go anymore!"
"It must be a girl thing," said the other Wego.
"They only think of themselves," agreed Mego.
Sheela tried to respond, but only managed a loud growl. She went her room to calm down.
-
I got the idea for the suits, not just from Hego's transformations in "Go Team Go", but also from Shego appearing in several variations on the outfit throughout the series. Further, she demonstrates the quick change feature in "The Truth Hurts" and "Overdue".
I've been posting just one chapter/story at a time until now. But this story is ready, so I'm publishing it at the same time as "Perfection".
I hope you Enjoy!
