Author's notes: this is the sequel to my story, Revelations. Please read that first
Shego had relinquished herself to the justice system after rescuing Kim from Adrena Lyn. Three days had passed since Shego's trial. She was currently in a cell in a maximum security prison. She had been given a sentence of 50 years, but was hopeful that Global Justice would offer her a deal so that she didn't have to serve that time. She had not heard anything from GJ regarding any such deal, but she was willing to be patient for Kim.
It was on this day that she was receiving a visitor. The emerald eyed female hoped it was Kim since she hadn't seen the teenaged hero since her trail. Unfortunately for her the visitor was her brother Hego. The two siblings sat across from each other with a glass window separating them and picked up telephones next to each other so they could talk.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Shego asked venomously.
"Sister," Hego began, "I'm here to say how proud I am that you have finally decided to renounce your evil ways……"
"Okay, stop right there," the pale green thief interrupted. "Lets get one thing straight: I have not given myself up voluntarily because I have seen the light or wish to repent for my sins. I'm only doing this so I can be with someone that I one day hope to screw."
"You've met someone? Who is the lucky guy?"
"HER name is Kim Possible. I think you met her once."
"You mean that red haired heroine that you've been fighting for years?" Hego asked and Shego nodded yes. "But…..but…. you're both girls."
"Jesus," Shego said and brought her hand to her head as a sign of frustration. "You sound like every straight woman I have ever hit on."
"Wait. You're gay?"
"Yes, I'm gay. And how can you be surprised by that? I came out of the closet before leaving Team Go."
"I thought it was just a phase you were going through and that you would eventually grow out of it," Hego said and was met with a snarl from his sister. "In my defense, this is only the 2nd time we've talked to each other in about 3 years."
Shego calmed down a bit after hearing this. She didn't really expect anything else from her brother. "Fair enough," She conceded.
"Sis, forgetting for a second that you and this Kim Possible girl are both girls and have been enemies on opposite sides of the law for years, is she even... you know... legal."
"I'm pretty sure she's not too far from her 18th birthday. Now, is there anything else you want to talk to me about before I'm escorted back to my cell?"
"Actually, there is. It would be possible for me to get you out of jail on the condition that you would work for Team Go again. Are you interested?"
"Let me put this in terms even you will understand. I would sooner live out the rest of my life in a cell than rejoin Team Go. Understand?"
"A simple no would have sufficed," Hego said before walking away.

Two days after the visit from her brother, Shego was told that she had another visitor. She was escorted to the appropriate place and was overjoyed to see that it was Kim, even though she maintained her composure. The two sat down and picked up their telephones to begin talking.
"Sorry I couldn't come see you before this," Kim apologized, "but Lately I've been swamped with schoolwork and missions."
"That's all right, princess. Its just good to see you again," Shego said before changing gears. "Now, what have you heard from Global Justice to make it so I don't have to stay here anymore?"
"Shego, despite whatever impressions you might have about Global Justice, they are not above the law. There are steps that need to be taken for something like this: authorizations need to be given, signatures need to be obtained, that kind of thing. And unfortunately, that takes time."
"Damn bureaucracy," Shego said in a huff.
"It gets worse," Kim said with a forlorn look on her face. "GJ wants me to ask you some questions about your past. They felt that you would be more cooperative if I was the one asking you."
"Well, they were right about that. I'll tell you whatever you want to know, but don't you need some note taking materials for this?"
"No, the telephones are recording our conversation. Now, can you give me a brief story of your life from when you got your powers to when you started working for Drakken?"
"Of course. It all started with the comet that gave me and our brothers our powers. That was about 8 years ago, when I was 15," Shego said and looked at Kim before letting out a stifled giggle.
"What's so funny?" Kim asked indignantly.
"I can just picture you doing all the necessary math in your head. 'So she was 15, 8 years ago, which would make her 23 now. That would also make her about 6 years older than me.'"
"Okay, so I was thinking that, but can you continue with your story?"
"All right. The comet did more than give us powers: It killed our parents. Hego, being the oldest, took a kind of authority over the rest of us and decided we should become super heroes. I went along with it, mostly because I couldn't think of anything better to do at the time. I was a hero for about 5 years before I quit.
"Why did you quit?"
"You have to understand, pumpkin, that I have always been snide and sarcastic. When I was a hero that attitude didn't exactly fly well with my brothers, the press, and even the people I was trying to help. Even though I was trying to help people, I took a lot of crap for my efforts. And I could never get along with my brothers even before the comet."
"So you stopped being a hero because you thought you weren't being appreciated enough?" Kim asked.
"That's only part of the reason I left," Shego said. "When I was a hero, I took a close look at the villains I fought: these people did what they wanted to and didn't give a crap about the consequences. Over time, I came to envy that freedom. So when day, I just went 'to hell with this shit' and took off."
"How did you end up working for Drakken?"
"After I left I tried to look for employment within the villain community, but most of them were turned away by either my unusual skin color or my sharp tongue. For example, Professor Dementor was not too keen on the idea of hiring me after I called him a yellow bastard."
Kim giggled at the statement. "I'll have to remember that for the next time I face him. So I take it you eventually found Drakken and he hired you."
"That's right Kimmie," Shego said. "I started working for him less than a week before I first met you, and the rest is history."
"Thanks for explaining all that to me, Shego. Now that that's out of the way, I have a personal question for you. How many of the villains I've faced are gay?"
Shego giggled before answering. "Well you already know about me and Adrena Lyn. I've heard rumors that Professor Dementor swung both ways, but I think Drakken started must of those rumors. And I don't know anything for certain, but I'm pretty sure that Senior Senior Junior is gay."
"Are you sure about that? I specifically remember a mission where he hit on me."
"He might be confused about his sexual identity. I remember when I was about your age and I only showed interest in guys because I felt I was supposed to."
"Shego, I know you're only a little older than me, but in the future could you please not begin any sentences with the phrase 'when I was your age?'"
"Sorry about that pumpkin," Shego said and was informed by one of the guards that her time was nearly up. "I"m afraid we're done for today. It was great talking to you princess."
"It will even better when you're out," Kim said and left the emerald eyed female.
