I do not own any of the characters they belong to Disney.
Progidal Daughter: Debt
'Charlie' look around at all the RockClaw Clan members as he nervously wring his knobby, pale-white hands together "uh...w-w-well t-th-that issue I mentioned before..." he jump away from one of the Lycans taking a short sniff of him, the large wolf snort and growl at the scared troll, but one word from Shego and the Lycan back down, with their ears laid against their skull.
Emerald eyes regard 'Charlie' again "continue"
'Charlie' gulp once to wet his now parched throat "I need it taken care of"
Shego look disgusted for a second, but fix it quickly "fine let me make a few calls and I'll get back to you"
the little troll gape at her "but I need it done now!"
Shego sneer back at him "do you know anything about what you're asking of me, 'Charlie' that kind of work takes strategic planning and observation, I can't just go bomb rushing the place especially when you've requested I ensure the survival of your people" the dark troll bow his head "don't worry 'Charlie' once I get in touch with my people, I'll come to you before the week is out"
'Charlie' look hard into her eyes and choose to believe her words "I understand" he began walking up the steps, but before he can make it close to Shego a black bo staff halt him
"I will not allow you to go any further"
he look from the staff to the black-clad female "you must not know who you are dealing with, for you wouldn't stop me if you did?"
Yori jerk the staff towards him "it is you who do not know who I am, now back down before I make you."
'Charlie' place his hands in his sleeves, Shego, perceiving what will happen next after that move, intercept them, since the dark troll keep his more deadly potions and spells in there "alright calm down both of you...WhiteEclipse, stand down..." Yori reluctantly retract her staff and face ahead, but keep an eye on 'Charlie' something about the ugly creature doesn't sit well with her, Shego sigh heavily then look at 'Charlie' as he pull his hands out his sleeves and present her with a dated rolled up piece of paper "what's this?" she wonder while grabbing it
'Charlie' smile "that should help with your objective, I had that smuggled off the island"
Shego just stare at the parchment then smirk "you just thought of everything didn't you..." she shake her head "see ya 'Charlie'" she turn and walk into the Mansion with Kim right behind her, 'Charlie' watch then take his leave.
Kim stop walking "what was that all about?"
Shego stop, but doesn't turn around "that was 'Charlie' as you heard, he wants me to pay a debt I owe him eighteen years ago"
"what debt?"
"when we first met, I was allowed two free services, for 'rescuing' him that day, it's something we agreed on since otherwise he wouldn't leave me alone and I used my last one when I asked about Kaison, the potion was my debt, now I have to pay up"
fiery eyebrows come together in a mix of confusion and worry "wha-what do you have to do?"
Shego turn around and look Kim deep in her beautiful, fern-green eyes as she debate on telling her the full truth or a half lie, she sigh "I have to get his family out of his tyrannical homeland"
one eyebrow raise "is that all...a rescue mission?" Shego nod, Kim shrug and walk off "I'm going to check on the girls."
Shego head in the other direction, knowing that if Kim knew the other half of that truth, she would probably stop her, she walk in the living room and sit down with a sigh while rubbing her eyes "so how'd it go?"
Shego sigh again "it was nothing"
"then what's with all the sighing?"
emerald eyes look up at the elaborately drawn ceiling "Nikiti have you ever felt like the decision you made was the wrong one?"
the now twenty-three year old scratch his five 'o clock shadow "as of right now, no I can't...want to tell me what this is about?"
Shego look over at him, gone are the boyish features and in their place is a rugged male in his prime "I have to do something for this dark troll I met a long time ago, a debt that has to be paid"
Nikiti tilt his head to the side "okay you have a debt to pay, so what you've never second guessed yourself before why do it now?"
"because Nik it goes against Kim's nature, she's a good girl, I'm not"
Nikiti smirk "you got a point there..." he duck a plasma ball "my bad, but if you figured that out why continue talking to me, just tell Kim, your best bet is that she'll just be disappointed in you not totally end your relationship"
Shego's gaze return to the ceiling while her brother get to his feet "just tell her, she maybe horrified, but like I said she won't just end it, she's a smart girl at the most she'll be disappointed as I've also said" he walk out as his sister think on that.
A few months after Athena's debriefing with her Mother
A soft, rhythmic hum fill the air of a dark room as a large, fluffy cat enter a trance-like state, however; her concentration is broken when one of her offspring rush in screaming 'Mom' at the top of their lungs.
The large, fluffy Norwegian Forest Cat keep her eyes closed and with a sigh she answer the excited youngster "you know during meditation, you are not permitted in here Apollo"
the large Bermese kit skid to a halt and curl into himself "but..."
"Apollo..." the platinum kit mew softly and slink out the Holy room, once the door is closed, the large cat return to meditating
"Aphrodite nice f you to finally grace us with your presence" a deep voiced male tell her before stepping forward, showing he's nothing more than a dark humanoid figure
Aphrodite bow her head "my apologizes, my kit wanted my attention"
"that is no excuse, you are an Oracle and Oracles do not forget their place nor let children interfere with meditation into the Spirit Realm!" Aphrodite jerk away from his voice like a frightened, disobedient child
"come now Homer, she does have another duty, he has to raise to next generation, one of them may very well be the next Oracle..." a kind spoken female step forward and her humanoid form is just as dark as the male's "so it's only right that she entertain them, even if she is late to se us, so be calm my brother" Homer gape then glare at his sister, indignant that should even say anything like that
"well she is right bro, I don't like her being late anymore than you do, but one of her kits will be the new oracle, can't argue with that" another dark male come from the shadows and his tone of voice is playful yet serious all the same.
Homer growl softly "enough both of you, we're here to discuss more important matters..." he look at Aphrodite and sigh at her curled in position "up child, I'm not a hard man I do have a soft side..." the fluffy cat sit up straight, but doesn't look into their faces out of respect "now shall we get to the matter at hand, it concerns that newpup of that female you favor as a daughter, we have made a shocking discovery, that we did not see in our visions..."
the female interrupt, sounding as happy as a little lark "she isn't one, but two, the newpup had a twin sister isn't it wonderful?!" silence "hey I'm trying to lighten the mood"
the third male cut in "as Homer was trying to say is, because it's a surprise to us, it'll be difficult for us to discern which will be the destroyer of her people..."
the female cut in again "so we decided that to know more we'll need a little more time to watch the infants growth."
Aphrodite forgets respect and look into the void of where their eyes would be 'how much?'
Homer cut in while his sister hum in thought "that we yet do not know, so we'd like for you and your brood to be patient as we attempt to delve deeper into the foreseen events to come"
Aphrodite can't comprehend how their 'sight' could be obscured when with this now known threat to her and Earth's future, but she trust their judgement and willingly nod as the beings leave her to carry out their own meditations, while Aphrodite sit on her Pedestal, contemplating how to relay this her family, especially her hot-headed, battle ready kit Athena, with one last sweep of her tail, she hop off the rock and decide going for the direct approach is best.
A dark-haired female stand at the bottom of a massive wall shielding her from what's inside 'ready'
she smirk 'when have I ever not been ready?' silence 'don't bother answering that'
her companion snort in amusement 'so how will you proceed with this task'
her smirk turn evil 'the same as with all my jobs' her companion snort again, but this time in annoyance 'don't worry I won't destroy anything...' she look up in thought 'well much of anything...if it can be helped'
'which known you and our reputation that there will be a lot of broken things'
she sigh wryly 'details, details' she look around "you know it's weird...I haven't been greeted yet and I've been standing here for awhile" she shrug "oh well time to have a little fun!"
