A/N: This might be a little unusual at first but bear with me. I just want to explore a Post graduation Shego, because really, who is Shego if not the villainess we all know and love.
Prologue: Sometimes It Changes
Ebony tresses drowned her features as they soaked down her skin. Her head was bowed and shoulders hunched as she let the storm wash her away.
What was left now? After all is said and done, what was left of her life?
Shego's emerald eyes looked up into the sky. She resisted blinking as rain drops bit into her irises, forcing tears to fall down her face. Her face contorted into an ugly mask as she withheld one of her sobs.
No, she couldn't break down. Not now. Not after all the years of pain and suffering. Not after all the years of sacrifice. She wouldn't be left with nothing once again. She couldn't be.
"Shego" The voice from behind called her name tentatively, something he always did when he was unsure of how to approach. "Shego, it's time to go." It was much softer this time, more compassion. More pity.
Shego took in a deep breath, straightening her back and lifting her head.
"Save your pity party Blue boy." She bit out viciously, wincing slightly as she observed Drakken's shadow flinch. "I don't want it right now." She finished softly, trying to ease the blow.
Things were different now. She had to understand that. She did understand that. The pale woman slowly turned around to meet her boss, or really the ridiculous sight of him. He was fidgeting slightly, nervous really and yanking out a petal from his neck.
"Does that hurt?" She asked, not sure if she really cared about the answer.
He blubbered out an incomprehensible response and just shifted his body back as if to point towards the ship.
"Home?" Drakken asked slowly, unsure if that's what Shego would call it now…Now that it had all happened this way.
The green villainess glanced at the hover craft then back at the blue scientist that had become like a family. She muttered a couple of curses, biting her lip as her body shuddered. She took a deep breath, holding it in for as long as she could before letting out a defeated sigh from her black lips.
"Yea, let's go home."
Things had changed. She had lost her lifestyle permanently. There would never be another chance like this should she opt to resume it. There would be no forgiveness.
Drakken gripped her arm, gently tugging her body towards the craft and placing her in her seat. He looked nervously at the controls, before a mask of fierce determination replaced it.
Shego gripped the arm rests tightly as Drakken attempted horribly to maneuver the ship. She gritted her teeth at the thoughts that invaded her head and she screamed out in tears as the loss fully hit her.
Yes it was all gone. But what was worst of all, what stung the most was that it had been her fault.
A/N: So what do you think? Worth pursuing? I think so! But please leave me reviews, critiscisms, ideas, or directions. Whatever, Trust me I dont mind. To be frank, I have a general direction of where this story is going, but its always fun to add new twists here and there. And I really haven't decided whether Shego is going to be romantically involved with anyone. So I guess I'll start polling, thought it'd be best if you chipped in your two cents now!
