First I want to thank XoXoGigglieGirl1 For her reviews. That's the stuff why I keep on writing =)
Chapter 3: The first encounter
„Mommy wake up.. It's already late." Whined the now 11 year old raven haired.
"Mommy come on…" she tried again. Carefully she neared the bed of her mother.
"please no..." she whispered.
Slowly she sat down on the edge of the bed. "Mom…?" she questioned fearfully.
With her shaking hand she took her mothers. It was liveless. Tears started floading.
"No… this.. this can't be. Come on mommy wake up. I know you're just sleeping…" she cried.
"Moooooooom." She weeped.
"Mommy… I love you… please wake up… you promised you'll always be at my side." She whispered with tears in her eyes. Slowly she stroked the hair of her mother. The whole body was liveless. There was no pulse nor breathing…
"MOMMY!" She yelled desperate.
The scream alerted the whole house and seconds later there stood her father, with her small twin brothers in his arms. On his side were her younger brother and her older one.
"Shannon…" Her father said confused.
"Shay.. what's going on?" The boys aked in unision.
"Mommy…" Shay just whispered hugging the dead body.
"She's just sleeping… sleeping.. she can't be dead… she promised…." Shay repeated desperately over and over again. While clinging firmly to the dead body.
Meanwhile somewhere in the USA.
That's strange…I've expected Global Justice to be here by now. Are they afraid? A red haired female wondered. She played with a metal tube, spinning it through her fingers.
Her look went outside the window while she sat on the windowseat.
The red head expected GJ anytime soon, so she lay on the ambush.
How fast a life can change… The last three years of my life were a lie. Nothing more… that's all the fault of THIS she raised the tube damn curiosity… If I just hadn't… Life could have going on like normal… a sigh escaped her lips.
No living a lie would be much worse. Only the truth is the right way… The Truth may often be harder but it's the right thing to do. I'm a hero… I'm suppose to fight for the truth and the right things… but how do I know, what the right thing is to do? Was it wrong to turn my back to Global Justice, just because I think they do the wrong thing? Maybe… no it's wrong what they want to do.
This sitch is soooo the drama. She groaned.
I wish Ron would be here. He was always on my side. Maybe he would know what to do. But he's now in France at a cooking school.
She missed him but she supported him in his choice.
Three days ago she fleed Global Justice HQ after she found out about a secret program of GJ, which was beyond her moral. She didn't really understand for now, what exactly GJ are planning, she just knew about some plans about creating kind of "super soldiers". The how was hidden in the tube in her hands. By now she hadn't figured out how to decode the information.
Sometimes I wish the old times back. Beeing with Ron on missions, fighting not so dangerous enemies like Duff Killigan and Drakken and Shego, although Shego was the only one, who was able to catch up with me. I kinda miss our fights… The fights were the only real challenge. I'm wondering what Shego's doing now…
"Shego…where are you…" The former agent sighed.
"I'm right here Pumpkin…Fantasizing about me, Possible?" Shego said with her trademark smirk.
"Shego!" Kim shouted
"The one and only…Missed me Kimmie?"
Kim ignored Shegos comment and automatically getting in her fighting stance.
"Why are you here and what do you want Shego?" The red head hissed.
"You" The raven haired just stated. Without saying another word she rushed forward, attacking Kim with her ignited hands.
Kim blocked, still knowing every move of her oponent and long year enemy. She tried to counter. But the attack was easily blocked by Shego.
Immediately they fall back to old habbits. The fight looked more like a dance, than actual fighting. Both knew the moves of the other and how to conter it.
"I kinda missed this…" Kim confessed.
"I think me, too…" Shego admitted.
For about 5 minutes, they just fought, like it was yesterday they did the last time.
But then Kim interrupted the silence.
"Who sent you?" Kim asked between punches and kicks.
"Why do you believe, I didn't come on my own?" Her opponent responded with a counterquestion.
"Because…" Kim dodged a kick of Shego. "…I know you" She blocked a punch of Shego and finally landed a blow at Shegos stomach, who squirmed a bit because of the hit.
"Nice one…. Princess." Shego moaned.
"Now say.. why are you here?" Kim asked again.
"Huh!… When you so much want to know it…Betty wants me to capture your cute little butt and bring it up to her."
Kim started to blush slightly of Shegos comment. "Betty? Like in Betty Director? The head of GJ Dr. Director?" Kim asked disbelieving.
"No.. the other head of GJ Dr. Director…Of course it's her, doy' "
"But… but why are you now working for Global Justice?" Kim wanted to know
"Less talki more fighti, Kimmie" Shego started to attack her
"Are you going soft, or why?" Kim dared Shego. After fighting for so many years on a nearly daily basis, she knew how to push Shegos buttons.
"I AM…." The flames around Shegos hands began to grow. "…NOT…" now lounging forward. "GOING SOFT" Shego growled, attacking Kim with more emphasize, making it quite hard for Kim to dodge and block all of her attacks.
"Believe me Pumpkin. I can think of better activities than to fight you and let them have you, doing I don't know what to you… But I have no another choice." Shego said almost apologetically.
Kim who take the chance started "But there's always another choice."
"Are you really this stupid? I said there is no other. And when I said there is no other, then there's no other, capici???"
"Why do you believe you have no other choice?"
Shego stopped for a moment her attacks, remembering what Dr. Direcot had shown her.
"Because they… they have the most important, actually the only important thing of my live. The meaning of my life…" Shego whispered.
"Why am I telling you this anyway?" She growled, after "awaking" from her emotional moment.
"Tell me Princess." Shego started her moves again. "Why did Global Justice send me after you?" She questioned curious
"Because they are afraid of me and think you are the only one who can handle me?"
"That's true, but it's not whatI wanted. What did you do to let me be the only way to get you?"
"Well… I think the reason is this…" Kim held up the metal tube.
"What's that?" Shego questioned.
"I don't really know it…" Kim admitted.
"You don't really… WHAT? You don't even now what it is but saving it with your life?" said The pale skinned female disbelieving.
"It's not like I don't know anything about it. Just don't the details." The former teen hero growled.
"So… what do you know about it?"
"When you finally let me end one sentence, you'd have already know." Kim looked at the green skinned thief to be sure that she'll keep quiet and then started.
"It's a data cube or rather a data tube… The Tube contains the data of a secret project of GJ.
The only thing I know is the name, because the data is encoded and by now I wasn't able to decode it. How did they call it..hmm.. let me think… SYNTHO-GEN² …… yeah.. that's what they called it.. some machine to create super warriors or so…" Kim explained.
"What did you say, it's called?" Sehgo asked fearfully.
"SYNTHO-GEN²… Why? Does it sound familiar?"
Shegos eyes grew wide. "No… that can't be…."
"Shego?"
"Give me the damn tube Kim!" Shego commanded.
'
She said Kim… Not Kimmie or any other pet name. She only says Kim when she's serious. Dead serious…' Kim thought.
"I can't Shego" Kim just stated.
Again Shegos hands ignited, stronger than ever before.
'What have I done? I said to much… I knew it. She's althrough evil, isn't she? After hearing what the thing can do she wants it to take over the world, doesn't she? But why did she seem so afraid, when I said the name? Does she know more about it?
First I've gotta get out of here. The risk is just to high with Shego furious like this.
I have to eliminate her, when I don't want to fall in Global Justice hands.
I'm sorry Shego. I really am.
When Shego reached for her she dodged it. "Shego. Stop that. You have no chance. Don't you see what I'm wearing?"
Shego stared at the red head. "You're stupid battlesuit has not a chance against me. The last time it was just luck…"
"I don't really want to do this Shego, but you leave me no other option. I'm sorry Shego." Kim sighed and pressed a button on her battlesuit. In a fraction of a second a dart hit the dumbfounded Shego who instantly fall on the floor.
A last time Kim looked at the motionless body.
"I wished it would have come out different..." She sighed.
"Farewell Shego…"
