Kim Possible: Rock-a-bye Baby

LJ58

"Remember, I want them both taken alive," Sheldon Director, AKA Gemini told his hand-picked crew. "With both Shego, and Kim Possible in my grasp," he said, holding up his metal hand to form a clawed fist. "The world shall tremble beneath my heel, and even my vile, younger sister shall finally have to admit that WEE is better than Global Justice!"

Which made the dog bark anxiously as the one-eyed madman soothed it with whispered apologies as his men discreetly looked elsewhere rather than at their lunatic boss.

"Follow me," Gemini smiled coldly as he walked into the jungle, following a faint, but worn trail that he knew would lead him right to his quarry.

"We found her," Wade announced to Betty over the computer screen on her desk he still hacked with ease. "But you'd better move fast. I spotted one of WEE's submersibles in the same area one of Ron's ninja friends finally tracked a lone woman with a child of about six months that matched the description Dr. Possible gave of Kim in the same target age."

"Where," Betty asked.

Wade gave her the coordinates.

"We have a strike group already in the area conducting exercises. Is Ronald….?"

"Already on his way. He may beat your people there knowing him," Wade told her. "But knowing how Gemini operates, even he might need help."

Betty nodded her agreement. "I'll call in my people now, Wade. Keep us posted on area movement."

"Right. Good luck," Wade told her.

Betty nodded grimly, and closed the channel to call her strike team in, hoping her idiot brother didn't make an already bad situation worse. One thing his presence did tell her, though. She still had a leak in her office, or the screwball wouldn't know about Kim's situation. Let alone where to find her.

Someone was going to pay for this slipup. She only hoped Stoppable and her people got there in time before she lost Shego, and Kimberly.

Especially Kimberly.

Shego stood on the porch of her villa, facing down the ten men that had shown up without invitations. "Gemini," she drawled. "What an unpleasant surprise. So, who do I hurt first?"

Gemini smiled, and carefully set his precious pet down before he faced the emerald-skinned mercenary. "I'm going to ask nicely, Shego, since you are one of us. Then I'll just do things my way."

"Ask all you like. I never answered to Drew, and I sure won't answer to you."

"I'm glad you haven't insulted me by asking why I'm here. "So I'll get right to it. Join me, and help me raise that infant Possible as my new Alpha, and I shall reward you beyond your wildest dreams."

"I don't know," Shego grinned, cracking her knuckles as she stood there in her bikini top, and a green skirt she had pulled on while making Kimmie's lunch a few minutes ago. She had been about to head down to get their beach gear when she stepped outside to find Gemini's loopy alphabet soldiers coming toward her. "I have some pretty wild dreams."

"Then join me, and together….."

"Not a chance. I don't like the uniforms. The dubious pay. Or your retirement plans."

Gemini smiled coldly.

"So be it. I shall just have to raise the child myself. Now," he barked, and two men fired weapons that did…..nothing.

"You're kidding me," Shego smirked, and raised her hands.

And frowned.

"Like it? I stole it from Global Just….. Sorry, Pepe," he looked down at the yapping dog. "Get her," he shouted to his other men. "Her powers will not work inside the null field. She is just an ordinary woman now! Helpless, and weak!"

Shego glared at him, spitting, "Doy, did you get the wrong Intel," she mocked, and leapt to kick one man while simultaneously slamming a hard palm into a second man, and spinning to elbow a third. The men swarmed her, but she used her skills to their full effect as she cut through the seven men in less time than it took to blink. By then, however, she heard a shrill scream behind her.

"Shegeeeee!" She spun around, seeing a struggling Kim in Gemini's arm as he pointed his right hand at her.

"Say goodbye, mommy," the one-eyed man grinned smugly, his cybernetic fingers locking into launch position.

"Nooooooo!" Kim shrieked., and slapped her right hand into his bearded face.

Not even Shego expected what happened next.

Gemini flinched from the stinging blow, but then he wailed in unaccountable agony as he dropped the little girl who landed on all fours before standing up to run awkwardly past the stunned men watching their stricken employer who was staggering back blindly, clutching at his face as he seemed to wither, and age before their eyes.

Shego gaped, too, as she clutched the redhead to her who toddled up to her, arms outstretched. Shego could only stare with the others while she watched as Gemini visibly aged, going from forty-something to what looked ninety-something in seconds, his once trim beard now a long, gray mass of thick hair hiding much of his withered body as he fell to his knees.

"Princess? What did you do?"

"Bad mans no' hurt Shegee," she said, pouting as she hugged her neck while glaring back at the old man that now fell over to land in a fetal position even as five GJ VTOLs appeared overhead, and a sleek, black mini-jet roared past headed for the beach.

"Crap," Shego muttered.

"Crap" Kim readily agreed with a smile.

"If I were you boys, I'd just give up now," she told the WEE agents still gaping at the emaciated man who had been their hale, husky boss just a few moments ago. "Oh, and…..let me have that," she said, taking the plasma nullifier from one man, and smashing it against the nearby porch foundation. The other man looked at her, and just smashed the weapon he still held himself against a nearby tree.

"Smart man," she smiled, and went inside to see if Kim had finished her lunch while GJ agents dropped out of the sky.

Kim was banging her spoon on her highchair tray, a signal for more, when Ron Stoppable stepped into the kitchen with four GJ agents. None of them were dumb enough to be pointing anything at her. She had to admire their wisdom.

"Shego."

"Stoppable."

"Wonnie," Kim smiled at him, her mouth plastered with the remnants of her meal.

"Kim," he smiled somberly. "Do you remember me?"

Kim nodded firmly. "Wonnie frien'," she stated, reaching out to pat his nearest hand. Which, naturally, left a mess.

"You'll have to excuse me," she said, turning from refilling Kim's bowl with the mashed potatoes covered in garden peas that she seemed to like. A lot. "It's Princess' lunch time, and she can eat like a horse."

"Nuh-Nuh," Kim sputtered. "Pwincess!"

Shego chuckled, and set the bowl in front of her.

"Of course you are, sweetie. There you go. Eat up."

"Eat, eat, eat," she beamed, and began the haphazard process of shoving most of the food into her mouth without losing too much of it.

"What happened to Gemini," Ron asked.

"Don't look at me. I didn't even know she could do that."

"You're saying Possible did that to him," one of the agents blurted out.

Ron and Shego both glanced at him.

"He was about to shoot me with those stupid finger-missiles of his, and Kim just…..slapped him. Suddenly he was ancient, and meanwhile you guys showed up. So, excuse me if I don't have any answers for you."

"Wade may be able to help."

"Of course," Shego sighed.

"You could have run," Ron pointed out, signaling the agents to stand back when they started getting restless.

"I wasn't going to endanger Kimmie in a firefight with those clowns. They're too fond of shooting first, and to hell with questions."

The agent in charge only glared. Shego shot one right back.

"Then, you're surrendering?"

Shego looked at Ron. Then Kim. She didn't even look at the agents.

"Only to you. I don't trust these guys," she nodded at the blue-uniformed men all wearing the same grim gaze.

"All right. You have obviously taken care of Kim, and she does seem to…"

"Mo', Shegee. Mo' eat," she said, holding out her very messy, mostly empty bowl.

"I think Princess has had enough. It's bath time."

"No nap! No nap," she howled, struggling to slide out of the chair.

Ron couldn't help but smile.

"That's definitely KP," he said. Then turned to the agents. "Take the WEE agents in, and confiscate their equipment. I'll bring Shego, and the baby myself."

"Our orders…."

"Let me put it this way. Do you want to anger Kim, who can now apparently turn people into old men with a touch, by trying to drag off Shego, whom she is obviously fond of just now," Ron asked pointedly as Shego picked up the struggling redhead, and moved toward the door.

"Unless you hotshots want to run her bath, you can move," she growled.

The lead agent cocked his head, and the three men with him stepped aside.

"We have to clean you up if we're going for a ride, Princess."

"Go ride! Go ride!" Kim cheered.

Ron stared after them, and met the lead agent's grim gaze.

"Tell Betty I'll bring her in myself. Don't worry, I have my own people nearby if they're needed," Ron told the agent.

"I'll have to call this in before I can stand down," the man replied. "We'll be outside until we get new orders."

"Knock yourself out," Ron told him, hearing water running in the back. "Just show yourself out. Shego is right about one thing. I don't want anyone getting trigger-happy around Kim. I'd take that personally," he told him, his hazel eyes flickering blue for a moment.

The agent, already well briefed on Team Possible, didn't argue.

"She seems happy enough," Ron said as she watched Kim bolt into the living room almost twenty minutes later, clean, and now dressed in a green jumper with a crown on the front of the bib.

"I Pwincess," she declared, stopping to stick her chest out, showing the embroidered crown.

"You sure are," he agreed, remembering Hanna's early years after his enigmatic little sister came to live with him.

"I'm going to change now," Shego told him. "If you don't mind watching Kimmie?"

Ron eyed her.

"Trust me. You have to watch her."

"I remember," he nodded.

"Just keep her away from bookcases, or furniture," she sighed. "And don't let her….."

Something crashed in the kitchen, and they both ran into the room to find her trying to climb a counter, having knocked off a spice rack, trying to reach a package of cookies on a high shelf.

"Wan' bears," she protested as Ron grabbed her, both her hands reaching out for the package growing farther away.

"You just ate."

"'Serts!" she screeched. "Wan' bears!"

"One bear. Then we have to go for a ride. Okay, Princess," Shego told her, and took down the gingerbread bears, and handed her one of the cookies.

"Okay?"

"'Kay, Shegee," she beamed, and took the cookie with both hands.

Shego gave her a sad smile as the toddler set to devouring her treat, then turned back to the hall. "I'll go get ready."

Ron nodded as he sat Kim down on her feet, and she focused intently on her treat as he started picking up the fallen spice rack, and it's contents.

Thirty minutes later, Shego came out back in her own familiar uniform, and nodded. "Well, how does this work?"

"My jet won't carry three."

"I could follow you in mine," Shego suggested.

Ron eyed her.

"Can I trust you?"

"You have my word, Stoppable. We'll be right with you all the way to…..wherever."

"Kim rides with me," he told her.

"I go ride Shegee," Kim stomped one little foot.

"Kim…."

"Ride Shegee," she screeched, looking furious.

"Stoppable…..You might want to…"

Ron ducked as Kim's pudgy hand flashed, and he just managed to duck her left hand. The small table, to their shock, began to take root, and sprout new tendrils as if the wood had suddenly come to life.

"Holy…!"

Shego couldn't help but gape again.

"Well, well. How interesting," Ron smiled. "Someone can do tricks."

"I do twik," Kim asked, still eyeing him with distrust now as her gaze shifted between him and the table.

"You sure did," Shego told her, and came over to scoop her up.

"Stoppable….trust me. This is way past my expertise, too. If your Nerdlinger can help, I want him to do so before someone else decides to come after her. Or they decide to just lock her up in some lab."

"That won't happen," he assured her.

"Yeah. They told my folks the same thing when the comet first hit us. They lied then, too."

"I'm telling you, it won't happen. I won't let it happen," he told her. Then, after a sigh, he nodded. "So…..I suppose she'll fly with you," he said after studying the little girl who seemed quite fascinated by the tendrils that had stopped growing now, and showed tiny buds and pale green leaves here and there along the table legs and sides.

"I'll be with you all the way."

"Just curious," Ron asked with a sudden insight after talking to Wade earlier about what had really happened. "Was that the same hand that hit Gemini?"

"No. I think she used her right hand to slap him."

"Interesting. So, the right hand ages things. The left brings new life. Maybe rejuvenates?"

"That's a heck of a power," Shego agreed, and looked around the house. "Just let me lock up, and I'll be with you. I doubt I'll be back here anytime soon," Shego remarked solemnly.

Ron said nothing.

"Dr. Director has given you full custody of the targets, Stoppable," the agent waiting outside told him. "However, one of us will fly along to accompany you all the same."

"Whatever," Shego huffed. "C'mon, Princess. Let's go warm up our ride."

"She's flying her own jet," Ron tried to stop him before he could continue the protest.

"Is that really a good idea," the agent demanded. "We can carry her….."

Shego's expression was less than willing, or eager.

"I'd swim back first," she growled.

"I swim, too," Kim crossed her arms over her thin chest, and glared at the man.

Shego couldn't help but laugh.

"I'll meet you in the air," Ron told her. "We're headed directly for Middleton."

"I'll be on your wing in fifteen minutes," Shego assured him.

In fact, it was twelve and a half minutes. With the GJ jet parked firmly on Shego's tail. he pretended not to notice the missile lock.

"You took good care of her," Ann said as she met with Shego in the cell where she was being held.

Anne found she still fought tears when she remembered meeting Kim, her very much younger daughter, who screeched, "Mommeeeeee," at the first sight of her a few days ago before she ran up on small legs to hug her.

She also remembered hearing her scream soon after, "Shegee stay! Shegee stay," as GJ agents led the green-skinned woman away.

Shego shrugged. "She's a cute kid."

"I think there's more to it than that. She seems to really love you."

"Okay, so she's also a loopy kid."

"She's a loopy kid that remembers everything," Ann told her.

Shego frowned now. "You're kidding?"

"You never asked her? Never talked to her?"

"She could barely talk there for a while."

"Well, Wade and I did a very thorough exam. Physical, and mental. Physically, she's a perfect eleven month old child."

"I guessed she was about eight or nine months," Shego admitted in surprise.

"Kim was always small for her age. At any rate, mentally, she's still twenty. She just can't express herself as well due to the developmental difficulties of any normal child still learning to articulate."

"Oh. Well, she seemed to get things across pretty well with me."

"As I said. You took good care of her."

Then what the woman said penetrated.

"Wait. You said….she remembers everything?"

"Yes," Ann smiled at her reaction.

"Mentally, she's still…..well, the same Kimmie," Shego asked as she looked up from her cot where she sat leaning against the wall in her very small cell.

Ann Possible nodded.

"But she…?"

"She genuinely likes you," Ann nodded. "I know."

"What about the….aging thing? With her hands, I mean?"

"It's only a theory, but Wade thinks that Drew's ray somehow infused her with the ability to age or regenerate things, depending on how she harnesses that power."

"And no one is trying to exploit her yet," she huffed cynically.

"We're keeping that particular discovery quiet," Ann told her pointedly.

"And….Kim? Can the nerd….? Can he help her?"

"That's why I'm here, and Betty let me talk to you," Anne told her. "Wade is afraid to try. He feels her metabolism is still too unstable, and it might take at least another year before he could safely use the ray on her again to try to reverse the affects."

"Oh," Shego murmured quietly.

"So, I asked Betty if I might suggest a kind of…..house arrest for you. As Kim's baby-sitter. Frankly, we don't dare trust her with anyone else. And…..she does like you," Anne smiled.

"You'd trust me," Shego gaped.

"You have taken care of her for a little over three months now. And she likes you. In fact, she's been wanting to see you since you were taken away."

"She didn't…..?"

"Well, we had to buy a new couch, and Agent Du's car required a tow truck to carry it off when he tried to see her on what he called an 'assessment' visit."

"You better watch him. He's too damn fond of putting people like us into cages for their pet scientists to play with."

"Which is why Ron and a few of his friends are staying around town for the moment, too. Not that the man was too willing to get out of his car after it started rusting into ruin around him when she banged on it," Anne smiled smugly.

Ann had to smile at the memory of her banging on the car when she spotted him, having run out to demand, "Where my Shegee? Where my Shegee," as loud as an eleven month old child could scream.

"Something funny," Shego glowered at the woman now.

"I'm sorry. It's just. You had to see his face when his car aged into junk while Kimmie beat on the doors. I think he was deathly afraid she was going to get to him."

Shego had to grin. "That, I'd have paid to see," Shego chortled.

"So, what did Drew have to say about Nerdlinger's conclusions."

"Really, Miss Go. You don't actually think we were going to trust Drew with our Kimmie? We haven't told him anything."

"Smart woman," Shego had to admit. "What does Betty think of your idea, though?"

"She thinks it's the dumbest thing she's ever heard. Only right now, it's our safest course of action considering what she did to Gemini. And Agent Du's car," a one-eyed brunette drawled as she walked into the cell ahead of three agents.

"And how is your loopy brother," Shego smirked as Betty walked in to make that pronouncement on cue.

"On life support," Betty stated grimly.

Shego's shrugged. "I'm not going to pretend I care. That jerk was about to blow my head off, and kidnap Kimmie."

Betty merely eyed her. "I won't comment on that. I am curious as to how you beat the null generators he managed to steal from us."

"C'mon, Bets," she sat upright and winked. "You know a girl has to have some secrets."

Betty sighed. "So, then. Are you in? Or out?"

"What do you think," Shego grinned.
