AN: Okay then, here's the slightly updated chapter. I hope you all enjoy!

Shego watched, quietly, from behind the mirrored glass. Below her, in the center of a large, circular room, stood Kim Possible, feet locked into special traps, arms snapped into heavy clamps, shackled to the ground. The entire rig made of nearly unbreakable metal.
She was well and truly caught.
But…it had been an underhanded blow. Tricking her in there by threatening her friend (Who was chained to a wall in the same room, his little rodent hanging next to him.)
Drakken was ecstatic, of course. Ranting about 'Drakkanada' again.
Idiot.
Shego reached up to put her hand on the glass, staring down at the redhead, who glared up at a spot just slightly to her left. The crime fighter couldn't see her, but she could probably guess where they were.
They were waiting for the death ray to warm up (Drakken hadn't bothered with ease of use, opting for sheer destructive power instead) and, bored, Shego's mind had once again drifted.
Kim…
They fought, regularly. There was a level of respect on both sides. But Shego was sure she was the only one of them who felt anything more.
Even so…she'd hate to lose that contact.
She blinked as it suddenly sunk in that, if Drakken succeeded, she'd never see the girl again.
…Good riddance. She stole my armor…made me feel.
She didn't mean it though, and she knew that.
If only that girl hadn't gotten under her skin…
She found herself wishing, again, that, maybe, if she had still been good…or, if they hadn't first met during one of Drakken's plots…or if Kim wasn't such a goody-goody…
If, if, if…Lot's of if's. Nothing real.
She thought back…Back to when she'd first met the girl...
I was blown away, what could I say?
It all seemed to make sense.
You've taken away everything, and I can't deal with that.
She'd been just fine, but that girl went and made her care.
I try to see the good in life, but good things in life are hard to find.
We'll blow it away, blow it away…can we make this something good?
…Well I'll try to do it right this time around...
If only things could be simple again...without feeling. Cold.
But no…she just had to go and fall…
Let's start over.
Try to do it right this time around
It's not over, 'cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me…but you're the only one
It's not over.
She was sick of this, the way things had become. She was stuck with that idiot Drakken. And Kim…She was bound by her reputation. If only she could take the chance to talk to her…it was a pipe dream, but Shego thought she could make her see sense…
Taken all I could take, and I cannot wait.
We're wasting too much time.
Being strong, holding on…can't let it bring us down.
It was weird, how the little fights, the banter…how easily they became her life. She looked forward to the fighting, craved it. Because when they were fighting, she was herself again.
My life with you means everything, so I won't give up that easily.
I'll blow it away, blow it away…can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood
…Well I'll try to do it right this time around…
Let's start over.
Try to do it right this time around
It's not over, 'cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me…but you're the only one
It's not over.
If there was even the slightest chance for change, why was she allowing it to be endangered?
…We can't let this get away…
"Get a hold of yourself…" She muttered, ignoring the still ranting Drakken. "Figure it out…"
Let it out, let it out, don't get caught up in yourself
Let it out…
Let's start over.
Try to do it right this time around
It's not over, because a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me…but you're the only one...
No…it couldn't be over…
It's not over.
…Let's start over...
…It's not over…
This love is killing me…but you're the only one.
It's not over…
A klaxon blared. Red lights flashed.
Suddenly, Kim's restraints released, and she leaped toward her friend, who had just dropped from the wall.
Drakken was raving as the teen hero slipped out of the room with the sidekick, obviously headed for the exit.
"Shego, what happened!?"
Shego moved her hand away from the release button as he turned to her, expression disinterested again.
"Hell if I know."
The blue scientist fumed, looking around. "Tell the henchmen we're leaving. She's bound to be back, most likely with that darn Global Justice…" He continued to ramble as he left the room.
Shego sighed and leaned forward, resting her forehead against the cool glass. She stared down at the room through half-lidded eyes, ignoring the almost-ache in her chest.
"Maybe next time Kimmie."
