Wowee, two story updates? It's a motherfucking miracle! Enjoy my lovelies.
Isabella shivers as she exits the gym. Cheer practice should've kept her warm, but she was freezing as soon as she heads outside, the wind ripping right through her thin frame.
"Issy!" She looks over and smiles as Jasmine approaches her. The smaller girl had a pair of skinny jeans with a blue Pokemon t-shit, a thin jacket hugs her frame, but she could tell Jazzy was still feeling a bit chilly.
"Hey Jazzy." She answers, wrapping her Carhart around her, snuggling into it's warmth.
"How was cheer practice?" Issy only shrugged, letting out a soft breath.
"Leslie has been up my ass, but it's no big." She waves her hand in dismissal. Jazzy grins, shaking her head. Issy always had a confident air around her. Well...probably living with the Possible's gives one a feeling of being untouchable. The smaller brunette looks up at her friend, her golden eyes burning with the question that leaves her lips.
"Say...since I've met your family already, how would you feel about meeting mine?" Jazzy asks, pursing her lips as the question hangs in the air for a second. This situation was...tricky. Jazzy living with Shego and Issy living with Kim...this could either go quite good...or pretty bad; depending on the older women's reactions. Issy simply smiles and she nods her head.
"Sure, I'd love to!" She answers. Jazzy takes her bottom lip between her teeth and she nods, the rest of the way to her apartment was filled with small talk and a tense silence. Jazzy knew the numerous outcomes that could come of this meeting, and everyone of the them keep playing over and over again in her mind. They stand at the top of the porch steps, looking into each other's eyes.
"You have to promise me something." This takes Issy by surprise, a perfect eyebrow arches curiously, her head tilts to the side.
"What is it?" She asks, looking to the smaller girl with a soft expression on her face.
"To be quite honest...they're people that you know very well...and it's going to come as a shock to you, but please...whatever happens, just promise you'll still be my friend." Jazzy fidgets nervously as she speaks, her eyes lowered to the ground, refusing to look Issy in the eyes.
"Hey," Green eyes peer into soft brown as she lightly lightly cups Jazzy's cheek in her hand and she gives her a soft smile, "I promise." Issy says softly, leaning down to lightly press a kiss on her cheek.
"Let's go." Holding Issy's hand, Jazzy guides them both into the small apartment. Stairs were the first thing in view, leading up to the second floor, angling off in a hallway, to the left was a living room with a back door, to the right, the kitchen. There was another room next to the refrigerator, probably the laundry room.
"Mom…Sis? I brought Issy home." The brunette calls cautiously.
"Hey sweetheart, Shea has some food on the table." The voice sounds familiar to the younger Possible, but she couldn't quite place it. The older brunette rounds the corner, a soft smile on her lips. She has a bowl in her hand, drying it off with a towel, Issy's eyes grow wide and she wills her mouth not to drop to the floor. Betty Directior the head of Global Justice stands before her, she and Kim had gone a few missions for her not to long ago, following up on some leads to deal with Drakken. Betty wasn't in her usual blue suit, but in a pair of black leggings with a pale blue button up t-shirt. Her eye patch was the dead giveaway, her shaggy brown hair now past her ears, giving the older woman a more...rough look. Issy's words die in her throat as she swallows hard, giving the woman a soft smile and a half wave of her head.
"Isabella?" Betty's eyes widen slightly as the younger woman smiles shyly, rubbing the back of her head. She knew the woman recognized her instantly. Jazzy can't help but fidget nervously, knowing Issy's family knew her mother. Betty looks at the smaller girl and she sighs softly, motioning her head to the kitchen, telling Jazzy that Shego was in the kitchen.
"Hello." Issy says after she regains the ability to speak. Betty's eye looks at her then back to Jazzy. The smaller brunette walks up to her mother, wrapping her arms around her waist and nuzzling her neck with her nose.
"Don't tell Shego." She whispers into Betty's ear. The Director nods, knowing the tricky situation at hand.
"It's nice to finally meet you." Betty says, playing it off as she didn't know Issy. The black haired girl picks up on her bluff and she gives a slightly nod, watching as Betty lightly kisses the top of Jazzy's head, rubbing her back in a loving manner.
"You as well."Issy says, lightly tilting her head in confusion as to why Betty was acting like she didn't know her. The older brunette let's go of her daughter, heading back into the kitchen.
"Betty Director is your mother?" Issy whispers softly, her surprise evidently showing. Jazzy looks at her sheepishly, shrugging her shoulders.
"Told you you'd know her." She whispers, shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly. Issy breathes out slowly and she sighs.
"But...you haven't met my sister yet." Jazzy bites her lip, running her fingers through her hair. The two round the corner heading into the kitchen. There's a woman by the stove, dressed in a pair of dark blue jeans and a dark green t-shirt. Her black mane was tied up in a low ponytail that was tied around the nape of her neck as she cooks.
"Hey Munchkin, bring your girlfriend?" Issy recognizes the voice immediately and her body tenses, wrapping an arm protectively around the younger brunette. She sees Betty watch with a careful eye, ready to defuse the situation as needed. All of Issy's instincts screamed to run and call Kim immediately, but the look on Jazzy's and Betty's face told her not to. The well known ex-thief turns around, her eyes dancing mischievously as she eyes the younger girls.
"She's not my girlfriend." Jazzy huffs, her cheeks turning a light shade of pink. Shego snorts, crossing her arms as she grins at the two.
"Coulda fooled me," She teases back, winking at her younger sister. "Gonna introduce me or what?"
"Um…Issy…this is my sister…Shego." Jazzy says carefully, the brunette looks at her, internally saying, "you've got to be kidding me." Issy breathes out slowly and she walks up to Shego, holding her hand out.
"It's nice to finally meet you Shego. Forgive me, but I thought you disappeared off the grid?" She asks, hearing Betty suck in a sharp breath. Shego shrugs and she smirks, taking Issy's hand in a firm handshake
"Figured you'd know who I was. I did, because I was taking care of Jasmine." She says softly, her eyes falling on the smaller brunette, who smiles proudly at her sister. Betty and Jasmine breathe out a soft sigh of relief, feeling the tension between the two women melt away into playful banter. Jazzy grins at the sight of her sister and Issy getting a long so well as they sit at the table and eat the broccoli cheese casserole that Shego had made for dinner.
"Damn, this is good." Issy groans as she finishes off the last bite of her plate, getting up and going for more. Jazzy laughs softly at her friend and she smirks.
"Doy." She replies, mimicking Shego. Betty rubs her forehead and sighs as Shego begins to laugh.
"The last thing I need is another Shego." The one eyed woman groans softly, eyeballing the other woman at the table. The green-skinned woman snickers as she lightly pets Betty's arm.
"You know you love us Cyclops."
"More Jasmine, then you." Betty retorted. Shego fakes a gasp, putting her hand over her heart. Her lips poke out in a soft pout as she eyes the older woman.
"Ouch." She mumbles. Jazzy gives a soft giggle, leaning over and lightly pecking Shego's cheek.
"I love you She-She." Shego grins, taking Jazzy's hand in her own.
"At least someone does, and I love you Squirt." The green skinned thief replied ruffling Jazzy's hair. Issy watches the interaction between the two and she can't help but smile, seeing the once badass villain, being a completely softie,
-This is the woman who tried to kill Kim? –She thinks, a frown appearing on her face as she recalls all of the tales that her older sister used to tell her of her adventures before she graduated high school. Issy takes a drink of her water, sitting back down at the table next to Jazzy.
"If you don't mind my asking, how did…?" Issy trails off, not exactly knowing how to word her question, "How did you guys end up being a family?" The words sounded harsher than she meant, causing her to wince. Betty and Shego took no offense, simply looking at each other before Betty gives Shego a soft nod.
"Well, Issy, it's a bit of a long story, the short version is, I quite the villian community because of Jazzy. Gemini, as you know as Betty's brother found Jazzy on the streets...her drug addict of a mother sold her daughter to get her next high,"Issy saw Jazzy
flinch, and Shego's hand clench, "And he called a meeting with all of us villains, of course, some of them weren't too keen on...Gemini's idea, except Drakken and DNAmy.
Shego sits in the large room, her legs crossed as the other villains sit next to her. Gemini had called a meeting, but she wasn't exactly sure why, the guy hated the other villains, so why was he playing nice now?
"My fellow villains, you're probably curious as to why I called this meeting." Gemini states, the small chihuahua in his arms as it shakes. There was a small murmur in the crowd, agreeing with his statement.
"I come to you because we are all tired of getting beat by the goody two shoes Kim Possible and my sister Betty Director," He scowls, "I have come up with a plan thanks to Dr. Drakken and DNAmy that could defeat those annoying girls once and for all." He smirks, pulling a curtain to reveal a small girl, no older than twelve. She looked terrified, her small frame shaking. She was malnourished, her cheeks sunken in from lack of food. Shego's blood runs cold and her eyes widen. A few villains stood in shock before walking out of the large auditorium, leaving only Drakken, DNAmy and Shego. Gemini tsks solemnly and he shakes his head.
"Their loss I suppose. DNAmy my dear, do you have the DNA with you to inject into her spinal column?" Shego stands, shooting a plasma bolt at the man. He jumps back with a soft yelp and he glares at the green-skinned woman.
"Shego?! What're you doing? We could finally destroy that Kim Possible with her!" Shego growls, aiming a plasma bolt at her idiot boss and the fat bitch standing next to him. The woman stalks to the front, gathering the small child in her arms, freeing her of her shackles.
"It's okay. I've got you." She says softly. The girl whimpers, gripping the collar of Shego's shirt.
"I refuse to be apart of this! She's a kid!" She yells out, walking towards the entrance.
"Shego! Where are you going?" Drakken calls after her.
"I QUIT!" She roars, slamming the door shut, nearly ripping it off the hinges.
"That fat bastard." Issy growls, clenching her hands together, shaking with rage. Jazzy stands, sitting in Issy's lap and lightly stroking her hair. She kisses her temple, laying her head on Issy's.
"He…kidnapped her a few months back…and somewhat succeeded. We're trying to figure out what he's done." The Director added, a sad look in her eyes as she looks at her daughter. Shego only sighs and she runs her fingers through her hair, standing up and washing the dishes. The distraction was needed, getting her mind off of her little sister being kidnapped. Issy looks to Jazzy, who smiles and nuzzles her cheek.
"I'm fine." She whispers in her ear, humming softly as Issy's body finally loosens up,
"But how are you not…wanted I guess." Issy asks curiously, looking to Shego.
"That's where I came in. Shego came to me with Jasmine asking me if the charges to be dropped, with a lot of compromises and a lot of deals, Shego got off with 10 years of parole, along with working for me." Betty answers, a soft smirk on her lips. The Director remembers the day that Shego brought little Jazzy in. The little girl was stuck to the thief like glue, never letting go of Shego, but her little blue eyes never leaving the Director's
"Yeah, that's pretty much what happened. After word got to the other villains about my switching sides, a few understood, but Gemini and Drakken were furious. Which is why we've been trying to find them the past few months." Shego adds, turning and leaning up against the sink, her arms crossed over her chest.
"Anyway, the courts wouldn't let She-She adopt me, which is why Betty is my mother, and not Shego." Jazzy explains, her arms wrapping around Issy's neck. The black haired beauty nods in understanding, taking all of the information in carefully. She looks up at Shego, wording her next sentence carefully.
"Did Kim Possible ever catch wind of your switching sides?" She asks nonchalantly, watching as both brunette tense at the question. A solemn look crosses Shego's eyes and she gives a faint smile.
"As far as Kim Possible knows, Shego is a ghost in the wind." She says quietly, with that she walks off, heading up the stairs. Jazzy somewhat glares at her friend and she slaps the back of her head gently. Issy yelps and she pouts at the younger girl.
"Hey! What was that for?" She whispers, arching a brow at her friend.
"Kim is a really touchy subject for her. Don't be an ass." Betty answers quietly, looking to the direction that Shego disappeared into. Issy turns her head to look at where Betty was staring and she sighs softly,
"Shego's a touchy subject for Kim, too." She admits quietly, looking at both of the brunettes, "She thinks Shego's just..gone. I feel bad not being able to tell her where she is. I'm just not sure how the interaction would turn out." Issy continues, shrugging her shoulders.
"Let me handle that situation, just say nothing to your sister about Shego living with us. Maybe one of us can convince her to seek Kim out." Betty adds, crossing her arms over her chest. Issy nods and she sighs softly.
"Thank you for the food Bets, I better go before Mom gives me a call." She sees Betty's cheeks turn a light shade of pink at the mention of her mother and she hides a smirk, knowing the two of them have a past.
"Of course. You're welcome here anytime." The older brunette smiles and begins to clean up the kitchen as the younger two head out the door. Once outside, Issy groans, rubbing her face with her hands.
"Damn, talk about a wake up call." She breathes out a soft laugh. Jazzy only giggles and she shrugs her shoulders.
"I'm just glad you and Shego didn't get into it. I would hate to have to explain that one to Kim." Jazzy points out, giving her friend a knowing look.
"You're right...well, I better head home. I'll see you tomorrow?" Issy asks softly, a charming half smile on her lips. Jazzy smiles back and she nods, tucking her hair behind her ear.
"Of course, hey, give me your phone." Issy looks at her confused, before handing her Samsung S8 over. Jazzy takes it, doing a quick action before handing it back to Issy.
"You have my number now. Text me when you get home." She says softly. Issy grins, leaning up to press a light kiss on her cheek.
"Anything for you Princess. I'll see you tomorrow." She says quietly, turning and heading down the street. Jazzy stays on the porch until her friend disappears from view, her heart hammering in her chest from the light kiss on her cheek. A smile appears on her lips as she turns, heading back inside.
AN: Who can spot the differences?(:
