Tegan sat there holding the young girl's hand while she waited for Kim to come back with her change of clothes. Going over her various needs, the first thing she needed was a place to stay and then some new stuff. She had the money to take care of this issue but no place to put her things at the moment. She also needed a place for Tuyen. Her first response had been to save the girl and now she was stuck in a situation where she had to find a way to stay out of prison and yet make a living. She felt screwed and unsure as how she should proceed with this. If she used her money wisely, he ill-gotten gains should last. Maybe.
Right now though, she also had to figure out what to do about fucking Global Justice. Kim had told her that Betty was going to come and talk to her as some point, which she was really hoping wasn't spook code for arresting. She knew she had various warrants out for her arrest, just not as many as before. Helping to save the world from an alien invasion certainly had helped in that regards. Now there were only the ones generated since that incident and there weren't many. She had been a lot more careful since then and disabled security systems and left no calling cards. What warrants were out there were mostly supposition and guess. It certainly was a lot fewer than before but she really didn't care at this point. It wasn't like she was going back to that life anyway. It was amazing how fast your priorities could change.
Right now, all she wanted was to keep Tuyen safe and maybe find a way to keep others from the same sort of trauma. She had no idea if it could be done or how to go about it, but was sure it would involve a great deal of applied violence. Anyone who would beat, torture and rape a child deserved whatever they got in her opinion and she was fairly sure that no judge in the world would really argue that. There were a number of levels of inhumanity that she was not comfortable dealing with and what had occurred was several of them. She had certainly made Drakken pay for his error and she would happily do it again. Their deaths did not make her feel unclean. They made her feel righteous.
She ran a pale hand over Tuyen's dark hair and sighed. She had willingly taken on the burden of an injured and traumatized child. She really had no idea how in the hell she was going to do this or even any clue how to make it happen. All she knew was that she really felt like she had no option. This was something she had to do, a sort of maternal penance. There was a soft knock at the door. She turned to face it and Betty Director entered the room alone. "Shego."
"Betty."
"I was told I could find you here." stated the one eyed head of Global Justice.
"Well, here I am. What do you want?" Tegan's voice was a bit sharp, as this was not something she really wanted to deal with right now.
"Just to talk. That's all. First off, I wanted to let you know that there were no survivors. All the bodies that we were aware of were accounted for. Dr. Drakken is dead. He apparently was beaten to death. The other deaths seem to be asphyxiation." Tegan gave no response to that. She had been expecting that after all. "And second off, what exactly did you mean by the whole quitting comment?"
"Just that. I'm quitting this whole damn villain thing. As of right now I have something much more important to do than play those stupid criminal games. I am needed somewhere else right now." Tegan's gaze moved back to the sleeping girl and her eyes softened. This really was much more important than trying to prove that she was the best.
Betty stood there, a bit amazed at how caring the thief seemed at this moment, as she looked at the little Vietnamese girl. "So I take it you don't want any jail time then?"
"I'm not leaving this girl Betty, and you don't want to throw away agents attempting that. This time I am serious and I won't pull any punches." Shego's voice was flat, there was no emotion to her voice as she was stating it as a fact rather than a threat.
Dr. Director didn't doubt it for a moment. Her agents had better things to do rather than die trying to attempt to capture this woman. "Alright. So, what do you want to do?"
"I am going to hunt down the bastards who made this happen and remove them from the planet permanently." Tegan growled, showing emotion there. "Have a problem with that?"
"Actually, no." This got the green skinned woman's attention and she cocked her head in surprise. Betty just shrugged. "If you want to do that, go right ahead. It is an international problem that needs solving and I don't have the man power to deal with it."
Tegan narrowed her eyes. She was certain she was missing something here. "What's the catch?"
Betty sighed. Maybe she needed to be a little more straight forward with the woman. "Look, Shego, if you are going to stop being a criminal I think that is great. I would certainly appreciate it as would my men. Going after you and imprisoning you is costly and rarely successful for long. Not having to do that would expand my available budget I have for other things which could help a lot of people."
"Glad I can help expand your budget." snarked Tegan. "And another thing Betty, don't call me Shego anymore. I don't want to hear it anymore. Just call me Tegan. That's my name now."
"Tegan?" Betty was clearly confused. Where the hell had that come from?
"It means little poet in Gaelic." The reformed thief was not helping matters any with that, which she was well aware of.
"Oh, well okay then. Tegan it is. Well, uh…Tegan, I'll contact you later about this issue. Where can I do that?" Betty was sure she could spin this whole mess to her advantage if she could take a little time to work everything out and get Shego on board. And if Shego here was hunting the white slavers, then she could deal with other things. Extra money for the organization was indeed a good thing. She would have to clear this with her superiors but she figured she could make that happen. Shego would be free to go after the white slavers and she could focus on people she actually had a chance of dealing with.
"I have no idea. Try Kimmie. She'll probably be able to contact me where ever I go." Tegan turned away, dismissing the woman. She was concerned about the fact that Tuyen hadn't woken up yet, but that could be a factor of the medications she was on. The little girl had been awake earlier but had drifted off again. Betty left with plots of her own dancing in her mind.
Shortly there after, Kim came into the room with the thief's bag, and Tegan noticed that she had an interesting expression on her face. In all their years fighting each other she had never seen Kimmie look quite like that and she quirked an eyebrow at the red head questioningly.
Kim blushed at the look, looking up at the ceiling and said, "Sorry, busy thinking."
"What about?" asked Tegan, really wanting to know at this point. It had to be something good.
"Uhm…uh…well you see…it was…you." Kim looked away, this time at the floor, unable to meet the woman's eyes. The color of her cheeks was a bright red.
Tegan smiled and was about to say something kind of snarky when Tuyen started fidgeting in the bed, her eyes blinking open. The green skinned woman smiled at the girl, happy to see that she was awake again. Tuyen smiled when she saw Tegan but then looked a bit scared when she saw Kim. That didn't help the red head feel any better about things. "*It's okay, Tuyen. It's only Kim, my friend. She won't hurt you. She would have saved you as well.*"
The young girl stopped cowering back into the bed, reassured by the woman's voice. "*She would have? Okay. I believe you.*"
Kim smiled at the little girl, who smiled back a bit hesitantly. Kim was glad, since it seemed like things were going somewhere.
Tegan took the bag from Kim's hands as she stood up. "*Tuyen, I am going in to the bathroom to get cleaned up, since I am still dirty from last night. I will be out shortly. Kim will keep you safe until I am back.* Kimmie, please guard her while I get cleaned up."
At the red heads nod, she turned and headed into the bathroom hoping to get the stench of last night off of her. She was going to burn those clothes, as they made her feel tainted at this point. Maybe the cat suit would have to go as well? If she wanted another one, she could always design something new that had no connection to either her brothers or that bastard Drakken.
Kim came over to the bed and sat down on the mattress itself, trying to reassure the little girl that she meant her no harm. The girl pulled back some but the teen hero didn't move any closer than the corner of the bed. Kim smiled at the girl and sighed. There were times when she really had no idea how to proceed with things. Even a year of college hadn't helped that much. "I know you may not know what I'm saying but I'm not going to hurt you."
When she heard the shower start, she continued, keeping her voice calm. If nothing else, that might help reassure the girl. "I've known Shego a long time, that's the woman who saved you. I've never seen her act this way towards anyone before, except maybe just once but than again she wasn't quite herself then. You know…I…I like this side of her. It makes her seem like someone I could really like, you know what I mean?"
Tuyen just stared at Kim, unsure what was going on but calmed by the tone the red head was using. The people who had taken her from her family hadn't been this nice, so maybe this woman could be trusted. Kim continued, trying to use this girl who had no clue what she was saying as a sounding board for her tangled emotions. "I'm not sure what I feel for her, but I certainly don't hate her. I haven't felt that way for two years, ever since se saved me on that space ship. She makes me feel, I don't know. My heart races around her and I get tongue tied and fighting her is so much easier than just talking to her. It's confusing."
Tuyen smiled weakly, wondering what the weird white girl was going on and on about. She wasn't sure what was being said and that made her a bit nervous. She wanted Tegan to come back. The girl started trembling. Kim moved slightly, as if she was going to comfort the child but Tuyen flinched back from her, eyes growing wide. The teen sat back for a second and then got up off the bed. She walked over and knocked on the bathroom door. "Shego, hurry up."
The shower shut off and a familiar voice called out in irritation. "It's Tegan, Princess. Get it straight, damn it."
Fairly quickly, Tegan exited the bathroom, her hair still wet, and her clothes sticking to her some. It was clear that she barely had dried herself and was reacting to the tone of Kim's voice. She was dressed in faded blue jeans and a dark Kelly green tank top, with wrestling shoes on. It threw Kim for a loop, seeing her nemesis dressed so normally. The clothes weren't even green and black, which really made Kim stare, as she could barely believe what Tegan was wearing. The woman looked so normal and rather hot, which made Kim swallow hard. Tegan looked at her oddly, "Kimmie?"
"Uhm…uh…yes?" replied Kim, blinking and looking away, her face nearly as red as her hair. Why was she blushing all the time around her? He needed to get her head sorted before she got herself in more trouble.
"You were staring." stated Tegan.
"Uh…" Kim's response was truly stunning.
Tegan laughed at this and went over to the bed where the little girl looked at all of this wide eyed. Her voice was gentle when she asked, "*Were you scared?*"
Tuyen nodded. "*Please don't leave me.*"
"*I am not going anywhere.*" Tegan hugged her tightly to her, holding her there protectively. "*You can trust Kim, honest. I trusted her enough to go to her when you needed help.*"
"*She's not like the others?*" The girl asked worriedly. It was clear what she was bothered by and it wasn't just being left alone.
"*No, she isn't. She is my friend.*" Tegan wasn't sure if that last part was true but it was something the girl needed to hear right now if she was ever going to trust the red head in any way.
"Uhm…Tegan? How do you say hello in Vietnamese?" asked Kim, not really comfortable with being on the outside of things like this. Maybe if she said something to the little girl in her own language the bridge of trust would begin to form? It was all she had at this point.
Tegan smiled. This might just work out after all. "Chào."
Kim ran over the pronunciation in her head a few times before she turned to face the little girl and said, "Chào Tuyen."
"Chào." The reply was quiet, nervous.
Tegan looked over at Kimmie, who seemed really pleased by what she had just done. She looked so cute right now. Shego blinked that back and parsed it, going over what she had just thought. She thought Kimmie was cute. She thought Kimmie was cute. She sighed. Now was not exactly the best time to hit on her nemesis despite all the dreams she had over the years. She knew she was attracted to Kimmie but now really wasn't the best time to start confessing love to the girl.
Tegan was saved from having to say anything, when the girl's doctor knocked and came in. She held Tuyen's hand as the girl trembled some while the doctor moved closer. "Good Morning. How are you today?"
Tegan translated for the girl and Tuyen replied. The green skinned woman passed along. "I'm fine but I still hurt down there."
The doctor nodded, obviously not surprised by this fact. She came over, checked the girls heart and lungs, making sure she was doing alright on that level. Once she had finished she said. "Everything seems to be in good shape right now, except for her being a bit malnourished. We have her on some IV antibiotics at the moment. The STD screen came back negative, which is good news, but I will want her to come in at two months and six months from now for follow-ups, just in case something has a longer gestational period. Of course, if you notice anything out of the ordinary bring her in right away."
Tegan nodded. Everything seemed pretty standard. "So all she needs right now is rest and time?"
"I would also suggest she see a trauma specialist to help her work through the assault and rape. Physically, she's fine but mentally…who knows."
Tegan gave her a thin lipped smile. It was a good idea, just not a pleasant one. "Thank you doctor. When can we get out of here?"
"I'll have a nurse come by with the paperwork and the medicine. Take care and I will see you back here in two months." The doctor left and Kim and Tegan just sort of stared at each other.
Kim was getting nervous staring into those jade green eyes. They were making her heart beat faster and faster and her palms were beginning to sweat. "Uhm…do you have an idea where you want to go?"
Tegan shook her head. She hadn't really gotten that far in her planning, focusing instead on the here and now. That was something that would have to change if she was watching after Tuyen. "Not a clue Pumpkin. Do you have any ideas?"
Kim nervously twisted one foot on the ground, unable to meet those eyes. "You know…you both can stay with me for a while, to give you some time to get things in order."
Tegan gave a slight start of surprise. What was the red head up to? She had to be up to something, why else would she be looking so fricking adorable? "No offence Princess, but that really isn't what enemies do. I mean, do you really want an enemy to stay in your house?"
"Well, I figured, since you quit working for Drakken and now have a different focus in your life that, you know…maybe…we might could become friends?" It was endearing how nervous Kimmie was getting asking her that. The whole build up to this was so cute that she could barely stand it. Tegan almost said something smart ass in response as was the norm between the two of them, but a flash of the lair before she took action filled her head, the sounds of the men rutting and congratulating themselves for screwing a seven year old girl, silencing her so that she stammered out. "Uhm…yeah Kimmie…friends."
"So I figured, as friends, you both can come home with me and I can help you guys find a place to stay. Does that plan work for you?" Kim smiled, thinking her plan was perfect. She would have Shego around so she could figure out what the hell was going on with the woman and the girl would have a place to stay. It seemed to take care of all the problems Kim could think of in this situation except for her growing attraction toward the thief. That she tried to avoid thinking about completely.
All they had for Tuyen to go home in was the T-shirt they had grabbed at the Possible house, but it fit the girl like a dress, so it should work for the time being. Tegan got her dressed quickly by tugging the shirt over her head and letting her work her arms out the armholes. They sat there waiting for the nurse to come by and sign them out, all of them rather impatient to leave the hospital. Tegan looked over at Kim and replied, "I guess we can stay there for a while Princess, but eventually I'll get us a place of our own."
"Well, I'm just glad you can stay at least for a little while. It'll be nice to have you there, kind of like when you were Miss Go. That was…you know…fun." Kim was a bit hesitant to be admitting that but took the risk. She had no idea why it felt like she was taking a risk, as surely the woman could recall how much fun they had during that time.
Tegan smiled back at Kim. She did remember that time fairly well, since the device did nothing to block out memories. "Yeah, it really was nice hanging out with you for those couple of days Pumpkin, except for the whole personality swap thing."
"You never did tell me what you had planned on saying just before Ron zapped you." stated Kim, making it clear that it had been on her mind for a while now.
"Yeah I know." Kim looked saddened by that and her eyes were big. It was clear that Kim was pouting at her. Maybe Tegan could tell her, despite how embarrassed it might make her. "Uhm…do you still want to know? It's been two years Princess."
"Yeah, I do. It's been bugging me this whole time." admitted Kim.
Tuyen tugged on Tegan's shirt and whispered something to her. Shego nodded and lifted the girl out of the bed and let her take off to the bathroom. Tegan turned and saw that Kim was still staring at her expectantly. Tegan looked away from the red head and sighed to herself. She might as well tell the girl, even though Tegan had done her best to keep it from ever coming out any other way. "Fine. I was going to tell you that I really liked you."
Kim looked confused and it was clear that she wasn't really getting it. "You liked me?"
Tegan shook her head. Great, she had to clarify things for the Princess. Of all the annoying things she had to do… "Not just liked you Kimmie. I liked you liked you. You know, in a more than friendly way."
Kim stood there, obviously in shock, blinking in surprise, as if trying to reboot her brain. There was no other response from her and Tegan just sat there and watched the show. When the toilet in the other room flushed, Kim looked down at the floor and blushed brightly. Tegan shook her head, chuckling to herself. Kimmie was truly priceless. Tuyen opened the door and looked out at the two women trying to figure out what had just happened while she had been going to the bathroom.
KPKPKPKPKP
Kim wasn't sure what to say as the three of them headed towards her car. Tuyen was in Tegan's arms and had her face in the hollow between the neck and shoulder. It was rather cute and looked just like what a scared kid might do, which made sense. Kim's mind was reeling from what Tegan had told her earlier about the whole Attudeinator incident. Shego liked her liked her, like as in like a girlfriend and not just as a girl who was also a friend? Her archnemesis was actually attracted to her? It made her dizzy just thinking about it, especially since her feelings on the matter were so conflicted.
"Kimmie, relax. You wanted to know and I told you. I know you don't swing that way so don't worry about it. I still feel that way but it is nothing to concern yourself over." Tegan rolled her eyes at the nervous hero. There was no reason for the girl to get her panties in a bunch over this.
Kim opened her mouth to respond to what Tegan had just said but realized that she had nothing to say. Just knowing that Tegan still felt that way threw her even more. She closed her mouth and tried to figure out what she was going to say, if anything. All Kim knew was that there was something drawing her to Tegan, something that had been drawing her to the thief for the last four years and she had never been able to figure out what the hell it was. Was she attracted to Tegan as well? Oh God, what if she was? Was she ready to be a lesbian? She closed her eyes and shook her head, trying to clear the thoughts.
They climbed into the car and drove off, the radio playing softly, keeping the silence between the women from getting oppressive. Kim did what she could to focus on the road as her thoughts kept going back to Tegan and what she was feeling for the green skinned woman. It was confusing and she would occasionally snap out of things and regain full control of the car and stop the drifting. The adrenalin boost was keeping her nice and awake. Tegan just sat in the passenger seat and chuckled to herself.
They made it to the house in no time and they walked in, Tegan carrying Tuyen. No one was there as her parents were at work and her brothers at school, which was fine by her though it was a bit odd. They headed into the kitchen where there was a bag sitting on table, with a post it note attached. Kim picked the note up and read it. She then handed it to Tegan who scanned it quickly.
Kimberley,
I picked up some clothes for Tuyen. These should fit her fairly okay but I did guess on the sizes. I even got her some shoes. Tegan doesn't need to pay me back for them and they should tide her over until she can buy the girl some more clothes.
Love,
Mom
Tegan opened the bag and spotted some fairly nice clothes inside, neatly folded. She took the bag and handed it to Tuyen. "*Here are some clothes for you. Put them on and come back out of the bathroom.*"
The girl nodded and headed out of the room toward where Tegan had gestured. Tegan shook her head, it was a pretty overwhelming gift. "Remind me to thank your mom for this Pumpkin."
"Why are you acting this was Tegan?" Kim's tone was a bit on the demanding side.
"What way? This is how I normally act when I wasn't fighting you or putting up with Dr. D's crap." replied Tegan, a touch irritated, as the question seemed to be coming out of the blue.
"But it's almost like how you were when the Attudinator had hit you." commented Kim with a bit of a whine, trying to figure this out. This whole incident was making her crazy.
"Kimmie, that thing only changed the switch in my head and made me talk all cutesy and crap. It didn't change who I am inside. I was acting all normal around you." replied Tegan in a tone that Kim was much more familiar with from their fights.
"Really?" Kim was somewhat surprised by that and that was clear in the tone of her voice. "So you mean shopping with me and hanging out with me…"
"Were all things I would have done myself if we hadn't been enemies at the time. Yes, that's exactly what I mean Princess. I like you and we have a lot in common so why wouldn't I like hanging out with you?" asked Tegan a bit accusatory.
"Because you always called me a goody goody?" replied Kim quietly, as if embarrassed.
"Doy! Kimmie, you are a goody goody. It's actually one of the things I like about you, believe it or not. You are pretty much just like I was before I started college. My first semester in college changed me completely, so I stopped being a hero and started my life of crime. But before that…we could almost have been clones." admitted Tegan.
"What did happen then to make you turn away from good? I always thought Hego's answer was stupid." asked Kim, honestly wondering what had happened to the green skinned woman that had changed her so much. It had been one of the things bugging her since she had discovered it.
Tegan was saved from having to answer the question by the timely arrival of Tuyen. "*I have changed.*"
Kim and Tegan looked over at the seven year old girl who was wearing denim capris and a green t-shirt with butterflies all over it. The two women both smiled at the girl, thinking she looked quite adorable dressed like that. Tegan asked, "*Are you hungry?*"
"*Yes. Can I get something to eat please?*" replied Tuyen politely.
Tegan turned back to face Kim and asked, "Kimmie, what do you have to eat here?"
Kim looked into the fridge and the cabinets trying to find anything that might work. She wasn't sure what to fix actually. "All sorts of stuff. What do you think she would like?"
Tegan thought about that for a moment, sorting things out. "Can you make some sort of stir fry with vegetables and rice?"
Kim blushed and looked down, almost too embarrassed to admit the truth. "I can try. I'm not really all that good at cooking."
Tegan chuckled at that. Of all the tings for Princess to be bad at, it had to be cooking. "The great Kim Possible not good at something? That's priceless."
Kim bristled at that, her fists clenching. "Shut up. I can make the rice. I have been so busy saving the world and stuff that I never really learned how to cook."
"Okay Princess, settle down. I'll cook the stir fry." Tegan prepped some vegetables and chicken for cooking while Kim was making enough rice for the three of them, remembering to rinse the rice. Once that was done she used the wok that Kim had gotten out and cooked the food up, spicing it as she cooked. The smell was wonderful.
"How did you do that? My mom can't even make stir fry smell that good." stated Kim, a bit in awe over Tegan's cooking skills. It smelled so tasty and she just wanted to dive right in.
"I cook a lot of Asian and Italian." was the simple answer.
Kim cocked her head at the woman as if trying to make something work out right in her head. "You know…those two don't sound like they go together."
Tegan started laughing at Kim's answer. "They don't Cupcake. I don't eat them at the same time. Doy!"
Kim blushed as Tegan served some of the meal to Tuyen in a bowl, with rice on the bottom and the food on top. She also gave the girl a spoon to eat with. "*Here you go. Eat up.*"
"*Thank you.*" The little girl began to eat slowly, as was probably her practice. She seemed pleased by the taste and made all sorts of appreciative noises.
The other two served themselves, filling their own bowls with the food. Kim was rather surprised at how tasty the food was and was determined to learn how to cook this good. This screwed up part of her image of the great thief Shego. She had figured that the woman had always ordered out or had eaten at restaurants rather than taking the time to learn to cook well. Kim was having more and more of her beliefs about the woman shaken to the core and she was unsure what to do. At this rate she would soon find out that she had never been evil at all.
"So Kimmie, want to come with us when we get Tuyen some new clothes?" asked Tegan between bites.
"Yeah. I'm not going to let you out of my sight." stated Kim without thinking.
Tegan batted her eyes at Kim and lowered her voice seductively. She just had to respond to that. "Why Kimmie…I didn't know you cared."
Kim blushed which got Tegan laughing again. Kim just glared at the green skinned woman angrily but couldn't think of a retort, witty or otherwise to come back with. She almost growled out, "Once we're finished, let's go."
Shego shook her head amused by things and turned to the little girl. "*How is the food?*"
"*It is tasty. Thank you. I liked it very much.*" Tuyen smiled faintly.
"*Would you like some more?*" asked Shego.
Tuyen's eyes got really big, clearly surprised. "*You mean I can have more?*"
"*Of course you can. If you are still hungry I can always get you more food.*" Tegan stood up and refilled the girl's bowl about halfway. She came back and sat it down in front of her.
"*Thank you. We never really had a lot of food at home. We were too poor.*" explained Tuyen to Tegan, who had already worked that out on her own. It certainly explained the whole selling of your kids. If you didn't really have the money to feed everyone than it was explainable. Despicable for sure, but explainable.
"*Do you want me to take you home, back to your parents?*" asked Tegan, a bit worried. If she wanted to go home then Tegan would do her best to return the girl to Vietnam.
Tuyen looked down at her bowl, a bit embarrassed. "*Am I bad for saying no? You saved me and they didn't. Can I stay with you?*"
Tegan rocked back in her seat. She was at a loss for words. This was certainly something she hadn't expected. "*You would really rather stay with me rather than return to your family?*"
The little Vietnamese girl nodded, her eyes on the table, hands in her lap.
Tegan smiled faintly, unsure of if this was a good idea or not. She was getting ready to lead a jihad against slavers and not to raise a little girl. This was something she couldn't do alone and it scared her a little. However, if the girl wanted to stay here with her than that was what Tegan was going to do? She would make sure that the girl was happy.
Tuyen took the smile to mean a yes, bowed to Tegan, and gave her a hug. The green skinned woman hugged her back and told her. "*I will take care of you. There is no need for you to leave.*"
Kim noticed the interplay between the two, grew concerned and asked, "Uhm…Tegan, uh…what's going on?"
"Uhm…Kimmie…Tuyen wants to stay with me and be my kid. She doesn't want to go home to parents who might sell her again."
Kim blinked a few times in surprise. She gasped out in surprise, "Sell her?"
Tegan nodded, still a bit shocked about how things had progressed. "So it looks like I'm about to become a parent."
Kim's heart went out to the other woman. Sure, they had been rivals but since this had happened, it was as if she was dealing with a whole different woman than she had been used to. Shego seemed so changed by these events and it was pulling Kim, like a moth to the flame. She opened her mouth to say something about trying to find the woman some help in doing this but what came out was, "I'll be happy to help you."
Tegan looked honestly surprised. This was certainly not what she had expected from Kim. "Really Princess?"
"Yeah. I've been wanting to move out of here anyway and we can get a place together and I can help you with Tuyen. I can also keep an eye on you for the GJ and that would let me take care of two birds with one stone." Kim shrugged as if it were no big thing, but inside she was gibbering, trying to figure out what in the hell she was saying. Had she really just agreed to move in with Shego and Tuyen? What was going on in that excuse of a head of hers?
Tegan smiled at this. This might turn out to be a nice thing after all. She really was attracted to the red head and if the two of them lived together than there was a chance that something more between them would come of it. That was a really appealing idea and the thought of her and Kimmie, naked and sweaty together was really lovely. She totally had to do this so she replied, "If you want to I guess we can do that Princess. Let's go get Tuyen some clothes and we can talk about this. We can clear things with your parents tonight and we can get a place tomorrow."
Kim nodded a bit numb. Had she actually said that? Had she actually offered to move in with Tegan? What had her stupid mouth done to her this time? She was actually going to move in with Shego, her nemesis? Some times she was such an incredible idiot that she made Ron look totally competent.
