Chapter 4: Prequel To Chaos

Summary: Fed up with Shego's attitude, Dr. Drakken enlists the help of the other villains to put Shego in her place. But, when a battered Shego arrives on her doorstep, why does Kim feel so strongly about it?

Warning: A little bit of language in this chapter, but not too much to up the rating, I think.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kim Possible or any related characters. If I somehow steal someone's plot device, tell me. (I'm paranoid about inadvertently stealing someone else's stuff).

Teriyakiskater: that's pretty much the plan =)

Shego2009: Next chapter, but nothing pretty, the rating will be going up...

RachaelRae: Thank you for understanding, I hope to never do it again, but the plot wouldn't get out of my head otherwise, the rest of my work will be less...err...bad/dark.

Invader Johnny: Thank you, I thought so too.

SweetPixiesmile: Yeeeaahhh...I don't know why either, to be honest, I just sat down and started writing...and this is what came out. I'm not particularly proud, hopefully as I start to learn how to properly write a story, I can reign in the extreme-emotion factor and make the story more believable. But until then, I only have so much talent. And as I said before, I haven't seen all the KP episodes :'( But I plan on getting around to it, so thank you for giving specific episode numbers and titles to keep an eye out for! =)

A/N: To everyone who pointed out Kim's OoC-ness...I'm sorry but that kind of continues here, only more emotional. I swear, eventually I'll explain why...once I know myself...heh he...he...

ON WITH THE STORY!

……………………………………………KIGO………………………………………………….

No one had seen the great Kim Possible cry as she had been since the doctor told her the news. Well, except her parents, and that had only been when Kim was a baby and crying for her diaper to be changed, or whatever else it is babies cry for.

It wasn't even how emotionally wrecked Kim was (she had stopped crying about an hour ago), that made everyone curious about the situation. It was whom Kim was bawling about for four hours. Over the course of those four hours, Kim's parents Drs. Anne and James Possible had gotten off work and come to their daughter's side. Mrs. Dr. P. having been the first one on the scene since worked at Middleton Hospital, which was where Shego was, and subsequently Kim. Once Anne had shown up, Ron passed the comforting torch over to the brilliant neurosurgeon. Who then passed the torch over to her husband once he arrived, in order to discern what was happening, since Kim hadn't been able to form any coherent words. Just sobs and the occasional tear-choke.

"What's happening Ron?" quizzed the female Dr. Possible.

"I'm not really sure, to be perfectly honest." Ron answered, honestly, unfortunately. "After the doctors gave us the news, Kim just broke down."

"Okay, what news Ron? And about who?"

"Oh, right, forgot you don't know the sitch." The amiable sidekick then proceeded to relate the day's events, beginning from their studying (excluding the non-studying activities), and ending with the time Mrs. Possible entered the picture.

"Oh…well…hmmmm…" This had thrown even Anne Possible for a loop. And she was hard to throw for a loop.

Of course, over the course of Ron's explanation, various persons had filtered into the waiting room. Some of whom bear no consequence to the story. However, those whom are important that came in were, Wade (in hologram form), Monique, Bonnie, Felix, the Tweebs, Tara, Vivian Porter, and one Betty Director (again).

Wait a minute, Ron thought during one of his moments of perceptivity, why are Bonnie, Tara and Ms. Porter here. Ron, of course, being without tact, out right asked them as such.

"Oh," Tara started, "We were wondering what happened to Kim since she had called for a late practice today, and never showed up." A grouchy "humph" was all that came from Bonnie. "Or rather, I'm here out of worry, and Bonnie's here because I'm her ride for the night." Tara replied, all too happy.

"But how did you know –"

"We called Wade and he told us."

"Okay. And you Ms. Porter?"

"Oh, James didn't have his car since Kim had asked to borrow it for the day, so I gave him a ride home, then became curious as to what had befallen Kim."

"Meh, sounds logical enough." Ron then went into filling in Kim's friends, and Bonnie, on the current situation.

Kim had fallen asleep during Ron's two explanations, heck, even Ron was ready to fall asleep after answering everyone's questions. Monique and Dr. Director had the most. One with personal concern in mind, and one there solely for business purposes, respectively.

"Well, since Kim's out like a light, I need to go question Shego." Betty said with an air of command. To which several people were about to object, but the most unlikely beat them all to it.

"I really must object. After all that Kim did for Miss Go, I really think that she should be the first to see her." This came from Miss Vivian Porter with an air of confident defiance. Which seemed to defeat Betty, which surprised everyone that knew her.

"I-well…I…Oh, fine." This got Betty to sit down, and unnerve her greatly. It also piqued her interest in this fascinating woman.

"Are we all agreed that once Kim wakes up from her, somewhat peaceful slumber, she'll go first?" Vivian used the word "somewhat" because even while asleep, Kim was obviously emotionally distraught, if not more so than when she was awake. Everyone agreed, including Bonnie, who just gave a grunt since she really didn't care about what was going on, or know who this "Shego" character was. Tara gave a quick glare at the tanned Queen Bee that went unseen by everyone except who it was meant for.

And so everyone merely chatted amiably for a while, or rather, as well as one can in a hospital waiting room with complete strangers.

Ron took a quick power nap, along with Rufus on his lap. Tara and Bonnie mostly kept to themselves. Wade flickered occasionally, he was obviously working on something in his room and the hologram was just waiting on stand-by. The Possible family was busy with each other. Monique chatted with Felix. And Betty Director made her move on Ms. Porter.

"Hello, I don't think we've been properly introduced, err…or even gotten off on the right foot. I'm Dr. Betty Director." The head of Global Justice introduced herself to the blonde science goddess, offering her hand. It was weird for Betty, not getting straight to the point as she usually did, Why am I trying to be friendly with this woman who openly defied me and undermined my command of the situation?

"Hello, I'm Vivian Porter," Vivian shook the offered hand and introduced herself with an obviously forced politeness. How dare this woman try and act civil with her after having just act like a pompous bitch toward an obviously distraught hero.

"Look I'm sorry about acting like a bitch…" Wait…why the hell am I apologizing for doing my job to this woman I only just met?!

"Yes…well…apology accepted I suppose," the apology actually surprised Vivian. After that, they started talking. And not only about the reasons they were there, but also about things in their personal lives, which was a new one for the all but emotionally dead leader of GJ.

Everyone was so engrossed in what they were doing that no one noticed that Shego's assigned doctor had come in. Well, until he cleared his throat in a relatively loud manner.

"Ahem! Miss Em…err…Shego has woken up again," during the time frame that everyone was talking Shego had slipped in and out of various states of consciousness. This time she was capable of forming coherent commands/threats to the nurses and doctors. "However, I must advise that only one or two people can come see her at a time as we aren't 100% certain on how stable she is yet." The doctor was honestly surprised to have seen so many people turn up for this obviously very grouchy, irritable, and downright mean person, not know that almost all of them were really there for Kim. Speaking of whom, shot straight up at hearing that Shego was awake, she had drifted into semi-awareness of the world around her when the doctor cleared his throat.

"Shego's awake?"

"Yes, so, if you want you can go see her now."

"Thank you doctor." Kim replied, only then noticing all the people in the waiting room. "Err, hello all."

"Kim, are you all right?" Asked her concerned mother.

"Yeah, I'm good," noticing that Dr. Director had returned Kim's hero mode kicked in and she addressed the head of GJ with the respect that was lacking in their earlier meeting. "Hi, Dr. Director. Look I'm sorry about what I did earlier. You have every right to go arrest Shego, she is a wanted criminal after –"

"No, Kim, that is quite all right," Betty gave Vivian an imperceptible-to-everyone-but-the-person-it-was-meant-for glance, "I was also somewhat out of line. You were obviously in turmoil, you should go talk to Shego first, before I start doing my job."

"Oh, err, thank you. Well, I guess that means I'd better get going then. See you all on the other side!" While Kim was trying to act embarrassed and somber, everyone could see the twinkle in her eye that GJ wouldn't be taking Shego, yet.

Everyone got back to talking while the doctor brought the now calmed teen hero to Shego's room.

*knock* *knock*

"Shego, you have a visitor." The doctor said as politely as he could.

"Yeah, well – oh, hello Princess. Here to take me into custody?"

"No Shego. That will be Betty Director's job. I'm here because you were passed out on my doorstep," she dropped the business tone once the doctor left, and the tears started flowing, much to Shego's chagrin, "Oh God Shego, you had me so worried! What happened to you?"

Shego had been planning a whole sarcastic speech to pick on the globetrotting teen, right up until the waterworks started flowing. "Oh, jeez Princess, stop crying!" If there was one thing Shego couldn't stand it was the mighty Kim Possible, her worthy arch-rival, bawling like a baby.

"Why should I? The doctor said you're going to die! That someone shut off your healing ability, that you're in horrible shape! What will happen if something happens to you? I'll be so lonely and bored with you gone. Who'll make my job worthwhile?" Kim had come to the conclusion that the reason she was so upset was because Shego was the only villain that presented a challenge to the adrenaline addicted teen hero. Which was a good enough reason for her grief addled brain. "God! What happened to you? You of all people?"

"I…err…well…GOD DAMMIT PRINCESS! Ow. I can't think with all your crying! Will you promise to stop if I tell you what happened?" The yelling had hurt Shego's chest but it needed to be done, Kim's crying kept distracting her in a very unsettling way.

"Yes, I promise I won't cry." That would turn out to be a mistake.

"Fine," It was easy to tell recalling the events that had befallen her weren't easy on Shego. "It all started about a week ago…"

P.S. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed/ favorited this story! It means a lot, and I'm sorry about the slow update, I just got home for Spring Break, so I'm kinda settling in. But more chapters should be on the way since I've got nothing else to do except watch KP and play Street Fighter IV. Oh, and be on the look-out for my holiday story coming this St. Patty's day! (100% more fluff and 50% less drama/angst)

P.P.S. To anyone that cares, this will obviously be a Kigo-centric fic, since that's the pairing that dominates 80% of my creative conciousncess. But there will also be other yuri pairings, such as BetViv (because StarvingLunatic made me fall in love with it in a close third), RonYori (even though it's not yuri, I'm just letting you know since it will happen and is my second favorite KP pairing), MonFelix (as a tribute to StarvingLunatic's Walking the Line saga), and BonTara (mostly becuase I can and feel like including Bonnie somehow). I just felt I should make you, my valued readers, aware before I started building random relationships amongst people. That and so if you have any discrepencies, you have been warned ahead of time.

Enough of my ramblings, I'll let you get on with your lives!
