Chapter 3: A not so Drakken moment with Drakken
Shego had just stepped into her room, at Drakken's Middletown lair, when the lights clicked on and she ignited her hands ready to fry the intruder and was shocked when she saw Drakken sitting in a chair right in front of her. Wondering what in the hell Drakken was doing in her room at this time of day, or in her room voluntarily at all, she said,
"Morning Doctor D. what can I help you with, need me to open another pickle jar for you?"
"No, Shego that won't be necessary although thank you for the offer, Coco-Moo?" he asked pouring two mugs and handing one to Shego.
"Uh, thanks Doc what's the occasion" she replied coolly trying to figure out Doctor Drakken's motive as though he could sense her question he said,
"Shego if I wanted you dead would I have come alone and drank an entire mug of Coco-Moo before you even touched yours, please give me some credit" he actually looked hurt at that accusation while pouring himself another mug of Coco-Moo. "I just wanted to let you know that I am okay with it" he stated simply. Now Shego was left stammering,
"Whoa, whoa wait a minute Doc you mean that you 'know' and you haven't done anything about it and wait just a minute if you know, oh crap how many others know about this" Drakken seemed amused by his sidekicks discomfort and took his time answering, pouring himself yet another mug of Coco-Moo and when he looked up it was into the death glare of Shego and he nearly died right then and there moving quickly along as not to antagonize Shego anymore before he became ash, knowledge or no, he quickly said,
"I know you won't believe me but I'm the only one who knows, I've known since the beginning" now Shego just stared at him in disbelief chuckling she said,
"Okay Doctor D. first off there is no way you could have not had help figuring this out and second what do you think you know?" Drakken simply replied,
"Remember Shego words can hurt like fists and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you and Kim Possible are lovers. I known that after the nano-tick episode you went to apologize to her and I am grateful that you did as I don't want to kill anyone either even Kim Possible. I am also aware that you two entered a kind of friendship that has endured all the trials that come between you two. However, just think for a moment how could a person like me survive in the world the correct answer is that they couldn't, I just act that way because everyone expects me too. Before you say anything else take into consideration that I am seen as a blue skinned nut-job of a momma's boy which leads everyone to conclude that I am an imbecile instead of a graduate of Evil Doctorates Academy for Evil Doctors… not just the medical kind, and yes that is the whole name." Shego just sat there amazed that anyone could run there mouth for so long without breathing.
" I have a degree in psychology, crime commitingology(1), interior decorating, cooking, chemistry, robotics and finally must you be so sarcastic all the time" Shego's response was automatic before her brain processed the fact that Drakken had added the last part to give her a starting point, she would have to reassess her employer after this, if it hadn't been for his ranting without pause and the mad glint in his eyes she would have thought that the man before her was her employers secret twin.
"Well Doctor D. you get what you pay for and why are you not upset don't you think that maybe none of your plans work because maybe I'm letting Kim win and…" she was interrupted by Drakken's booming laugher,
"You, ha, ha, ha losing on purpose, oh Shego sometimes you are too much. Shego you have too much pride to lose to anyone especially your girlfriend because you think that you have something to prove even though she is as deeply in love with you as you are her. Which makes me think that you are both blind because you two can't see that Kim's existence literally revolves around you and vice versa. I have told you before that we are all one evil family and that means we are going to support each other no matter what and as long as you're happy I'm happy. There is also that taking over the world business, know I know we haven't succeeded yet and while it is mostly Kim Possible's and the buffoon's fault we will get there one day. Another thing to take into consideration when we rule the world is that you can marry Kim Possible quite openly without fear of reprisal"
He then stood up and put her empty mug down, she never even realized that she had finished it, and wrapped her in a warm embrace of a somewhat childish older-brother and she found herself melting into the embrace crying silently at the relief that she no longer had to keep the secret to herself anymore muttering,
"Thank you Doctor D. you have no idea what this means to me" Drakken cleared his throat noisily and looked nervous as he said,
"Before you thank me I was wondering if you would consider telling the henchmen about you and Kim after all we are one big family and I'm sure that they would support you just give them a chance, also maybe you should bring her I swear she can enter and leave at will except for when we are planning to take over the world and then she'll have to come in her usual way, please?" Shego gave it some thought and just gave in to the inevitable speaking as she was rising,
"I guess your right Drakken, I probably should tell them and I'll see if I can convince Kim to come it would probably be easier and safer than to keep meeting at her house and she could always use the excuse that she had a mission to explain her absences. By the way thanks for understanding" Drakken just smiled and gathered up the mugs and Coco-Moo gesturing for ladies first as they left Shego's room and headed for the conference room. As they were walking down the hall way she turned toward Drakken and said, "Oh, and Doc say anything about me crying and they will find nothing of you but ashes, kay?" She left Drakken staring after her and hoping that his luck wouldn't turn sour before he finished designing his new escape pod mark-367.
