Ps- this takes place directly after the first update. It's going to be a long one, sorry. Lots to explain. Lots of dialog.
Kim sighed. She was incredibly tired. She was incredibly confused. She was scared, she was cold, and all she wanted was to just go home. She looked down at her tattered clothes. Her leg hurt from when that- whatever it was- grabbed on to her.
Pulling her arms around herself for warmth, Kim Possible once again began her hike home. She had enough excitement for one night. Probably for a whole lifetime.
A bright green flash cut across Kim's vision. She froze in her tracks as she watched a green fireball rocket out of the sky, and crash right at her feet. The impact rocked the ground, tossing Kim off her balance and back onto her butt. Kim cursed internally when she landed- her bottom was going to be sore in the morning.
There was an intense heat radiating from the now flaming crater in front of her. It burned deep green and black, and it illuminated the once dark park. Kim squinted her eyes against the light.
The flames took a moment to die down, a cold breeze replacing the warmth. Standing in the middle of the hole was none other than the woman who had just left moments before. Shego, the Demon Queen.
"You." Shego's eyes narrowed as she strode over to the fallen teenager. Kim instinctively tried to scoot backwards, away from the angry demon. She only made it a few feet before Shego grabbed her by her shirt collar, and hoisted her to her feet roughly. "What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything!" Kim tried to shove the taller woman, but it was like shoving a brick wall.
"Bullshit, Princess." Shego said, her grip on Kim's shirt tightening. Her black tail swished behind her angrily. "What the hell did you do?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Kim tried to pry Shego off of her, with no luck.
"Don't play innocent with me!" Shego pushed Kim, her back slamming into a tree.
"I'm not!" Kim screamed. "I have no idea what the heck you're talking about! You can't just crash into me and start yelling at me like I know what's going on!"
"Like hell you don-"
"Stop!" Kim screamed, and the Demon Queen's eyes grew wide as her mouth clamped shut. Her body grew stiff, her tail jutting straight up in the air. Kim seethed for a moment, before taking a deep breath. "Calm down."
Shego's body visibly relaxed, her shoulders slumping forward, her tail falling limp. She continued to glare at Kim, her mouth remaining tightly shut.
Kim put her hands on her hips. The other woman was beginning to annoy her. "Well aren't you going to say something? Talk!"
Shego's lips separated with a light pop, and a soft gasp followed. "What the hell, Princess? How did you do that?"
Kim narrowed her eyes. "Do what?"
"Command me around like an underling!" Shego spat. Her voice sounded angry, but her body remained in it's seemingly relaxed state.
"I'm not doing anything!" Kim stomped her foot into the ground. Tears began to well in her eyes. "I was just attacked by some weird animal, then you show up out of no where, and burn the thing alive right in front of me! And now you're demanding answers from me when I have no idea what's going on? You're one calling yourself the Queen of the Demons! You tell me!"
"I can't go home!" Shego snapped. "You did something, and now I can't go home!"
"I didn't do anything!" Kim wailed. She couldn't take it anymore. She slumped back to the ground, hot tears running down her face.
Shego looked uncomfortable as she watched the red headed girl cry. She took a hesitant step forward, kneeling down in front of Kim. "Hey. Stop that."
"No." Kim said between sobs. She shivered.
"Come on, Kid. I didn't mean to make you cry." Shego's eyes softened. She reached out to touch Kim's shoulder, but decided against it.
"Kim."
"What?" Shego's tail swished anxiously.
"My name is Kim. Not Kid. Not Princess. Not Cupcake." Kim said, her lip jutting out into a pout. "Kim."
"Okay, Kimmie, then." Kim gave her a dejected nod. "Now will you please stop crying?"
"I just want to go home." Kim pouted. She was aware that she sounded like a helpless five year old. It's exactly how she felt.
"I just want to go home, too, Kimmie. I can't, though." Shego explained, her voice low and gentle, like she thought anything more would scare the kid. "I need you to help me figure out why."
Kim let out another wail. "I don't know why! Why me?"
Shego let out a frustrated groan. "Would you please stop crying? Look! Let's get you home! Where the heck do you live?"
Kim sniffled, and she eyed Shego suspiciously. "Why should I tell you? I don't even know you."
Shego's hands flared up with green fire. Standing up, she clenched and unclenched her hands, irritated. Kim let out a scared whimper. "I'm not going to hurt you, Kimmie." She began through gritted teeth. "I just want you to stop crying like a baby, so we can talk."
"We tried talking! You just yell at me!"
"You know what? I don't need you to tell me." Shego said. Dousing the flames around her hands, she quickly crouched in front of Kim and grabbed her cheeks. Threading her fingers through red hair, Shego yanked a surprised Kim forward until their lips met.
Pop!
Shego let go of Kim quickly, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, her lips forming a disgusted scowl. "I hate doing that. You humans taste like trash."
Kim was frozen in place, her wide eyes staring at Shego. "Wha... I- Huh...?" She stumbled over her words, shock not letting her completely grasp what just happened.
She noticed the carpet underneath her, and it snapped her out of her daze. Tearing her eyes from the pale woman now examining her dresser, Kim quickly scanned the room around her- her room.
"We're in my room." Kim said. Shego rolled her eyes, picking up a picture frame.
"Doy." Shego examined the picture, before placing it back down. She moved over to the closet. She was about to open it before Kim jumped in front of it, blocking it.
"No! You're not allowed in there!" Kim said. "You're not allowed in here at all! How did we get here? Why did you kiss me?"
"It wasn't a kiss, Princess. Don't flatter yourself." Shego turned on her heel, and flung herself onto Kim's small full sized bed. Kim squeaked.
"That's my bed!" She ran over, grabbing Shego's ankle. She pulled as hard as she could. The other woman didn't budge an inch. Kim gave the ankle a frustrated slap.
Shego chuckled and rolled over on her back. Propping herself up on her elbows, she gave Kim a once over. "You look like shit."
Kim's face grew bright red. "You're so... so rude!" She snapped, smacking Shego in the leg again. "First you kiss me, and then you tell me I look like crap? You're horrible!"
Shego groaned. "It wasn't a kiss, Princess. I already told you that."
"Then what was it?" Kim furrowed her eyebrows.
"It's how I can read your mind." Shego said, nonchalantly.
"You what?" Kim's face grew bright red, her hands coming up to cover her cheeks. "You read my mind?" She was mortified.
"Geez. Calm down, kid." Shego rolled her eyes. "You get so worked up over nothing."
"It is so something!" Kim said, hugging herself. She felt violated. "It's my mind! It's personal!"
"It's not like I did it for fun. You were being unreasonable." Shego said. "I just took the information I needed. Trust me, I don't want to go prying around in some human kid's mind. You lot are gross."
"You don't have to refer to us as 'you lot.'" Kim huffed. "I still don't believe this whole demon thing."
"... You're kidding me, right?" Shego deadpanned. "I just transported us from the middle of some park, into your bedroom, and you don't believe I'm a demon?"
Kim considered for a moment. "So... Demons are real?" She asked.
"Yeah, Kimmie. Demons are real." Shego gestured up towards her horns, as if they should be a dead give away. "The creature you ran into tonight was a demon. A low class one, but one none-the-less."
"Low class?" Kim gave her a puzzled look.
Shego sighed loudly, rolling her eyes. All these questions were wearing on her patience. "Demons are ranked by classes. Basically the less powerful you are, the lower the class. More powerful, the higher the class."
"Okay. I think I got it." Kim rubbed her temples. "So if you're the queen, that makes you...?"
"The most powerful demon there ever is, or was." Shego bragged, holding her hand out in front of her to examine her fingernails. "You got it, Princess."
"Are you really the queen, though?" Kim asked, eyeing the other woman doubtfully. "Or are you just trying to seem important?"
"I'm the queen, Kimmie." Shego snapped her fingers. A small emerald encrusted golden crown appeared in the air in front of them. Plucking it out of the air, Shego settled it on top of her black mane. She held her hands out to display herself. "Ta-da."
"I have a crown too. That doesn't make me Queen of the Humans." Kim pointed out, suppressing a giggle.
Shego growled in frustration. "Yeah, well, I actually am the Queen." She crossed her arms over her chest.
Kim smiled. "Then what are you doing here? I mean, you killed another demon to help me, and now you're sitting in my room. Doesn't seem very queen like."
"You summoned me here, Princess."
"What?" Kim blinked. Surely she didn't hear that right. "Summoned you?"
"Yeah." Shego rolled her eyes. "Summoned me."
"How?" Kim asked.
"That's hard to explain." Shego waved her hand, dismissing the question. Kim glared at her.
"You can't just dangle information in front of me and not explain!" Kim said. "So you're going to explain!"
It was Shego's turn to glare. "Agh. So bossy." She let out an exaggerated sigh. "Fine, Princess. I'll explain. Alright. So obviously, Demons are real. We already covered that. Normally, we exist on a different plane. We can, of course, travel between the two, but to do so, we need help on your side.
"Some humans have the ability to summon us from the other side. Usually it's only low class demons, like the one you encountered tonight. The more powerful the human, though, the stronger the demon they can summon."
"So these people can summon you?" Kim asked slowly, trying to process everything that was being explained to her.
"There's only one human that is worthy of summoning me," Shego puffed with pride. "And she is Queen of the Mortal Realm."
"So... does that mean that I'm the queen?" Kim asked. She twirled a lock of red hair absentmindedly.
"No, you are not her." Shego said. "You won't be her for at least another thousand years."
"What does that even mean?"
"It means, Princess, that you have the same soul as the Queen. Your soul is going to live at least a dozen more lifetimes before it is born into the mortal who will become Queen. You humans refer to the process as reincarnation."
"Then how am I able to summon you?" Kim pressed her fingers to her temples, rubbing small circles into her head.
"I don't know. You shouldn't be able to." Shego said with a shrug.
"Wait, if the queen doesn't exist yet, then how could you have met her?"
"Time is different between the two realms. In my realm, it's almost like there is no time. Everything moves, but there's no progress. No day, no night." Shego explained, falling to her side, lounging on the bed. "Up here, it's like everything is happening all at once. Every second, every moment. It's one big, loud, mess. We are able to enter into a single moment in this dimension, and continue in that time stream. Likewise, we can remove ourselves from it and return home. We can go anywhere and anytime."
"So... sort of like time travel?"
Shego chuckled. "Yeah. Sort of like time travel."
"Okay, so why not just go ask the Queen why this is happening?" Kim asked, moving out of her chair to kneel in front of the bed.
There was a long silence. Shego stared at Kim, her expression blank. Kim fidgeted under her gaze.
"I can't leave." Shego said, finally.
"What do you mean?" Kim asked, her fingers toying with the blankets on her bed.
"When I left you in the park, I tried to go home. I tried to leave. But I couldn't." Shego closed her eyes. "I can't leave this plane, and I think it's your fault."
"But I didn't do anything." Kim said.
"You did something without realizing you did it." Shego corrected. "We have to figure out what that is, so we can fix it."
"How?" Kim asked.
Shego growled in frustration. "I don't know. Don't you think I would have done it already if I knew?"
"Hey, I'm just trying to help." Kim sniffed. "No need to be mean about it."
"You're not helping. You're just asking stupid questions!" Shego bolted upright into sitting position, and glared at Kim.
"They're not stupid!" Kim defended, standing up to look down at Shego. "If you're gonna be mean, get out of my room!"
"I'm not being mean, you're just a baby!" Shego stood up, jabbing her finger into Kim's shoulder.
"Get out!" Kim screamed.
Shego's eyes widened, and she froze completely still. With a small pop, she disappeared completely.
Kim was all alone in her room.
