It was pure and utter chaos inside of the warehouse that Drakken and Shego had targeted. Broken crates were strewn carelessly across the floor, the walls still smoldering with green flame in some areas, and warning alarms were blaring something fierce.

At the center of it all stood both Kim and Shego. The two women were panting with exertion, sweat beading on their foreheads. They had been at it for a while, neither women giving an inch. What's more is that Kim and Shego were fighting harder and more intensely than usual. No one knew why, seeing as the stakes were the same, but they weren't complaining – they loved the challenge the other woman gave her.

Shego smirked, changing her stance so that she could strike at any given moment. "What's the matter Kimmie? Can't keep up?"

Kim rolled her eyes in an annoyed manner while adopting a defensive stance, ready to guard any and all attacks coming from the green skinned woman standing in front of her. "You're just as winded as I am Shego. I think I should be asking you that. Is it that our lack of fighting has left you out of shape?" Kim couldn't stop the smirk that curled her lips upward as Shego growled in annoyance.

Shego snarled and hurled herself at Kim in a feverish, yet trained, attack. The two women moved in a frightening and highly lethal dance, exchanging and countering each others' blows. Neither gave the other an inch as the fight continued, rapidly intensifying like before. They were on par, none of the attacks they threw making contact at the places they were directed.

Kim's take down happened in an instant, faster than one would have been able to even blink. Shego had stepped in rather than withdrawn to dodge a devastating right hook. The raven haired villainess had lowered her body and used her forward momentum to tackle the red head around the waist, effectively knocking the hero off her feet.

Shego now hovered over the breathless red head, straddling her. The green skinned woman wore a tired but triumphant smirk. Shego, basking in the knowledge that she had taken Kim down with such an elementary trick, leaned in and whispered softly in Kim's ear, "Gettin sloppy there Pumpkin. You're gonna have to do a lot better than that if you plan on saving the world, not to mention actually stopping me."

Kim scoffed and rolled her eyes. The teen heroine didn't, however, manage to hide the light blush that made its way to her face as Shego's soft, melodic voice rang through her ears. With a silent sigh of contentment Kim responded with a witty remark of her own, "Well, if the other super villains in the world move as slowly as you do, then that won't be a problem. And don't get me started on the lack of creativity, aka skill, Shego."

Shego growled ever-so-slightly at Kim's insult, even though she knew it was nothing more than playful banter. "But, you realize, that I'm the one on top, right Princess? I mean, it'd have to be impossible for me to move that slowly since this happened." The skilled mercenary noted the teen's blush as she put some distance between the two of them. The red head under her began to struggle, unknowingly brushing against Shego's sacred area. Shego fought her blush and held the teenage hero down, swallowing a groan of pleasure in the process.

Only now did Kim realize the double-meaning behind Shego's words. She blushed a bit darker than before and began to struggle to get free before she did something she'd regret. "If only she knew…..If only I could tell her. We could make it work out…I mean, anything's possible for a Possible." The red head pushed the lustful images of herself and a certain emerald eyed villain out of her head and focused on moving the woman on top of her.

Out of nowhere an annoyingly high pitched voice for any male resounded. Turning her head to the left, Kim could see that Drakken had lowered the rope ladder from his hovercraft, shouting out something that she couldn't make out. She was much too preoccupied with the feelings consuming her body with being in such close contact with the woman, yes woman, that had stolen her heart wholly and fully.

Shego, on the other hand, was able to make out Drakken's words as being, "Shego! I've secured the microchips. Kill Possible and get a move on! We need to get out of here before Global Justice sends out the big guns!" Shego rolled her eyes and wished the blue dolt would've just stayed gone a little longer. Shego spoke up as she stood, leaving Kim to rest on the concrete, "Well, you heard him Kimmie. Til next time." With that, Shego grabbed hold of the rope ladder and waved as she was flown away.

Kim looked up at the hovercar's shrinking form as she climbed to her feet. The red headed heroine sighed as she felt her heart hammering against her chest, trying it's damnedest to break free of its confines. "This is SO the drama!" Kim groaned quietly after ripping herself free of her thoughts. She made her way out of the warehouse and removed her Kimmunicator from her pocket, proceeding to call Wade.

"Hey Kim. What's up? Finished with the mission already?" The face of a chubby young man, about 13 years in age, appeared on screen. "What can I do ya for Kim?"

Kim smiled at the young man, her longtime friend, and the brain behind Team Possible. "I just need a ride home Wade. Shego and Drakken ended up escaping with those microchips, but I'm in no condition to chase them down." Kim winced lightly as she shrugged her shoulders, the muscles there stiff and sore.

"Jeez, Shego must have really done you in then. I'm all over it though Kim. You have a ride en route and will be arriving in about 4 minutes." Wade's face smiled in sympathy for the young hero, showing that he cared deeply for her as a friend.

"Thanks Wade. I appreciate it. I'll talk to you later then." Kim clicked off the Kimmunicator, returning it to its rightful place in her pants pocket, and then looked up at the clouds. She made a silent vow, that she would eventually gather the courage to tell Shego how she really felt. The sound of a helicopter landing a few minutes later snapped her out of her thoughts and back to reality.

Drakken's Hovercar – 4:17pm

"Shego! Why didn't you kill Possible? You had the perfect opportunity! I mean, seriously, she was right there under you, completely helpless!" a high pitched voice bellowed from a floating, flying, hunk of metal.

"Dr. D, shut the fuck up. That's only if you value your life though, if you want to continue talking, I have no problems with throwing you out of this hovercar," the angry voice of Shego snarled, causing Drakken to jump in fear. She wanted nothing to do with Drakken ranting on and on about how she didn't kill 'Possible'. She was stressed enough from the sexual frustration she was put through only moments before and was in a bad mood. All she wanted at this point was to take a shower, relax, and sleep.

Drakken wisely dropped the subject, but started ranting about the next step in his grand plan to take over the world, much to Shego's dismay. The martial artist eventually shut him out, and with a roll of her piercing emerald eyes, let her mind drift off.

Drakken's Lair, Drakken's quarters – 9:52pm

"The blueprints you requested have just arrived Doctor Drakken. They have been modified to function according to your specifications. It will do everything you wished for this machine once you assemble it with the proper materials, but you already know this, I'm sure," a low voice called from the shadows. The voice was calm, eerily calm in fact. It was nothing short of shady, and even creepy.

"Ah…thank you," Drakken coughed, dispelling the fear that had welled in his voice from the sudden voice in his office. "I appreciate your services, greatly in fact. Send my thanks to Mr. Senior for his hasty compilation of the schematics."

The shadowy figure nodded in the dim light of Drakken's office before disappearing right before his eyes. Waiting a few seconds, Drakken released the breath he'd been holding slowly. The blue scientist then lifted the blueprints and laughed manically, "Finally! I can put this plan into action and punish a few people now that the blueprints have been modified. Now I just need Shego to steal a few more materials and my masterpiece will be complete!" Drakken danced around his office, cackling loudly and happily before he set out to start on his newest invention.

Drakken's Lair, Shego's quarters – 9:52pm

Shego stood in the shower, water pouring down her body. She sighed lightly as the warm water flowed gently over fresh bruises and soothed tense and sore muscles. "Damn Pumpkin…way to go easy. I have bruises on top of bruises!" Shego thought sarcastically.

The green skinned villainess took her time in the shower, washing her beautiful ebony hair. Shego opened the door to the bathroom, a cloud of warm water vapor spilling into the bedroom, and stepped out with a towel wrapped around both her finely toned body and hair. She dried off quickly and silently, using her plasma to speed up the process. After wiping the last drop of water from her body, Shego threw the towels down the laundry shoot and pulled back the silk green bedsheets adorning the bed nicely. With a small yawn and a stretch of her arms and back, the raven haired vixen slid under her cover, wearing nothing as she found sleeping naked was far more comfortable than wearing pajamas.

"I wonder if I'll ever be able to do this with Kimmie, MY Kimmie, lying next to me. I have to admit that a naked Kim in my bed to do with what I please is very, VERY exciting. I can just imagine myself making her scream my name and-" Shego shook her head violently, effecting stopping her thoughts from developing into full-blown images. She groaned in sexual frustration as she felt her core heat with a need that could only be sated by Kim. With a final groan of frustration, Shego forced herself to sleep, her dreams consisting of her making sweet, delicious love to her beloved.

Kim's house – 9:52pm

Kimberly Ann Possible stood in the bathroom of her home staring at her reflection in the mirror. She had just stepped out of the shower and dried herself off and was currently examining a bruise on the left side of her face, right above her jaw bone.

"Shego really didn't hold back this time…" Kim sighed lightly as she remembered the numerous cuts and scrapes adorning her body. There was no way she wouldn't be stiff, not to mention extremely sore, when she woke up in the morning. With a final glance at the mirror and her reflection, Kim stepped out of the bathroom and made her way down the hallway to her bedroom.

Yawning, the teenage hero changed into her pajamas and peeled back the covers that lay atop her bed. Kim smiled ever-so-slightly as she looked out of her bedroom windows and up at the twinkling stars. Kim fell asleep shortly after tearing her gaze from the window and laying her head down on her pillows. As she slept a peaceful smile found its way to Kim's lips and rested there for the rest of the night. The red head was certainly, without a doubt, dreaming about the green skinned thief, villainess, and mercenary-for-hire Shego.
