Chapter 4 – The Light
Doctors who worked for the Global Justice could not believe their eyes when they have noticed how quickly Kim regained her health. In only week time she was ready to go home. There was no doubt about that. The speed of her healing factor could have been now compared to Shego's, but nobody would believe that. It was just impossible. On the morning of Kim's eighth day in the GJ hospital Shego walked in in perfectly healthy state.
"How are you doing today, Princess?" Shego asked with a bright smile. Kim was standing by the window and enjoying the fresh air.
"I can't wait to get out." Kim said honestly whilst she turned around. She walked quickly toward Shego and hugged her tightly. During that week in hospital those two grew close. It was not a surprise. Shego changed her whole life for Kim and Kim was ready to sacrifice her life for Shego.
"Ready to go home?" Shego asked whilst looking down into Kim's olive green eyes.
"Are you serious?" Kim asked in disbelief.
"Yes. I just spoke with Betty. We can go and there is a small surprise for you." Shego said with the most honest smile she had in years.
"What is it?" Kim wanted to know right now. She was never a patient person when it came to surprises.
"Well… all of your things from your apartment are now at my place, so…" Shego said but was interrupted. This information was enough to make Kim happy.
"So, let's go home." Kim said and hugged some more for a short while. Then she took Shego's hand and dragged her out of the Global Justice's Headquarters. They passed Betty on the corridor, who just smiled at them. It was good to see Kim happy and Shego on the right path. No matter what people said, Betty trusted Shego. If it was all a trick Kim would find Shego and kill her for playing with her feelings. Yeah, this one was for sure, Betty thought and continued her work.
Kim almost ran out of the building, smiling and praying for sun that was shining above. She stopped in front of Shego's car and spread her hands gathering the heat of sun. Shego just stood behind and smiled at the younger girl. She's too cute to be real, Shego thought and smiled. She walked over to the red head and hugged her from behind.
"So, are we going home or you want to stay here at GJ's parking lot?" Shego asked mockingly and Kim just turned around at that.
"Well… home sounds fine to me." Kim said and smiled. They entered the car and Shego tuned on the engine. They took off.
After short twenty minutes of ride they were already approaching Shego's house. Kim never noticed how big it was and how beautifully decorated from the outside. It was wooden in the olden style of Eastern Europe. The walls were crated of the oak logs and the roof was thatched. Shego drove into the garage and turned off the engine. They walked into the house.
"Welcome home." Shego said as they walked into the giant living room. Black furniture was seen all around the chimney. The bookshelves were full of history and technical books. Kim just walked in and started to look around. She felt like she has never been there. She never looked around. It felt like her first time there.
"It's amazing." Kim said with a smile.
"Glad you like it, Princess." Shego said with a smile and hugged her companion. "I don't know how about you, but I'm dreaming of a bath." Shego said with a perverted tone. Kim grinned at her lover and kisses her passionately.
"Can I go first?" Kim asked when the kiss was broken.
"Sure. But make it quick." Shego said and guided Kim toward the… well, it was not a bathroom. More like a bathroom hall. The room was at least twenty square meters. There was bathtub and a shower. So as toilet, sink, washing machine and a giant wardrobe full of black and green towels. Shego gave Kim one of fresh towels and left the bathroom. Kim looked around once again with her mouth agape.
"Wow." She murmured and begun getting ready for the bath.
Shego went into the kitchen and noticed that her kitchen has been supplied with everything she asked for. Yeap, everything's here, Shego thought and went upstairs to see if Kim's stuff has been unpacked. She walked into the master bedroom and noticed that nothing has changed.
"Weird." Shego said and went into the room opposite to her own. She opened the door and noticed all of Kim's belongings unpacked and prepared for their arrival. Shego just laughed. "How little does GJ know?" She continued to laugh, but considered it a good idea. If Kim will want to live in Shego's room that will be her own decision. Shego came back into her room and looked for something fresh and clean to wear. The old and thorn suit started to smell, but GJ never gave her anything to change. She opened the wardrobe and looked around. Black, black, black, black… o! My favorite shirt, Shego noticed and picked the shirt out. Though it was black as well she did like that color and would not change it for the world. She picked up some denim jeans and fresh underwear. She started to walk toward the bathroom to kick Kim out, but as she wanted to do it the door opened.
"Oh, Shego. Don't tell me you were standing were all the time." Kim said with a smile.
"No… though it was tempting." Shego smiled. "I was about to kick you out. I can't stand my own smell." She added and looked at Kim with lust. "You look great." Shego said and looked deeply into Kim's eyes. Younger girl was still wet a little bit and was covered only in a towel. Shego grabbed Kim's wet hair.
"I… I couldn't find a hairdryer." Kim said whilst blushing a bit.
"That's because there is no hairdryer in this house." Shego said and smiled mischievously. Shego grabbed Kim's hair with both hands and lit up her plasma. Kim wanted to panic and run, but she did trust Shego with her life. In the matter of seconds Kim's hair was all dry. Kim closed her eyes and lurched a bit. "You okay?" Shego asked with a concern in her voice.
"Perfect. Just got a bit dizzy. Too much heat I guess." Kim said without a confidence and looked down. "I'll go change." She added and left Shego in front of the bathroom. The other woman decided to trust Kim with her words, shrugged and walked into the bathroom.
Kim found the room filled with her belongings. She has changed quickly and sat down on her bed. Opposite the bed there was giant mirror. She looked at it and walked a little bit closer.
"What is happening to me?" She asked herself and looked at her own face. She looked into her eyes. Everything seemed normal. Just as it was, but she did not feel okay. Since she woke up in the hospital she felt dizzy, but still better than ever. She had a bad feeling that something might has changed. She tried to think why something might have changed. She lay down on her bed on closed her eyes. "What has changed?" She asked out loud. She tried to think backwards. She was in hospital. Why? Because she fought Drakken. What happened that she ended up in the hospital? "Laser!" She almost yelled and took out her communicator.
"What's up, Kim?" Wade asked as he noticed his friend calling.
"Em, Wade. What do you know about that laser Drakken built?" She asked and was afraid to hear anything. She had a really bad feeling.
"Well… it was sort of a normal laser. But I already told you about the rainbow colored comet. To be perfectly honest I am surprised that you are still alive. It almost killed Shego." Wade continued and Kim felt dizzy again. "Why? Do you feel different?"
"Just dizzy. I guess it will pass." Kim said as she held her head with one hand.
"Okay." Wade said uncertainly. "I'll check your body's analysis from the GJ hospital. Just to be sure." He added and the screen went black. Kim sat up and decided to see if Shego finished her bath. Just as she got up she felt dizzy again and saw how the floor started to near her face. She fell down unconscious.
Shego was done with her bath. She dried herself up with her plasma and changed into the clothes she prepared earlier. She exited her room and noticed that doors to Kim's room were slightly opened. She pushed the doors open and noticed Kim's body on the floor.
"Kimmie!" Shego screamed and ran quickly toward her lover. She lifted Kim delicately and put her on the bed. She lifted her legs and arms up and waited for the reaction. "Come on, Kimmie, wake up." Shego pleaded. In few seconds Kim started to murmur and her eyes blinked few times.
"Shego?" Kim whispered. "What happened?"
"Not that I'm an expert, but it seems that you kissed the floor." Shego said with a small smile. She was glad that Kim seemed fine. "How do you feel?"
"Weird…" Kim said as she sat up. Shego held Kim's arms and looked at her attentively. "It's just… It feels like some kind of a phase, you know?" Kim said as she closed her eyes and shook her head.
"I'm worried. Maybe Wade should scan you or something?" Shego proposed, but her own communicator went off. "Yeah?"
"I hope that I'm nor disturbing?" Betty asked and Shego looked at Kim who just shook her head.
"No… not at all." Shego replied.
"Good. Because I have job for you." Betty informed with casual voice. "Dementor robbed Hench and is hiding in Arizona. We're not certain what exactly he stole so just get ready and the transport will be ready in ten minutes." She informed and the screen went black.
"You sure you want to do this?" Shego asked Kim, who was already taking her mission gear out.
"Yeah… we have to stop Dementor and nothing else is more important now." Kim said coldly. "We'll take care of the rest later." She turned around and looked at Shego. "Don't worry about me and get ready." She advised her lover and kissed Shego on the cheek. Shego just smiled and went into her room. She opened her wardrobe and noticed that something was different.
"What the?" Shego asked herself as noticed that there was none of her cat suits. Except for the whole row of her usual black and green outfits there was a hanging cover. She took it out and opened it. Shego smiled evilly as she looked at the gift Betty gave her.
Shego,
I hope it will serve you well. I wish you all best on your new path of your life.
Betty
Shego read the note that was attached to the cover. Inside there was Shego's new mission suit. It was all black with green stripes on hands, legs and back. Very similar to Kim's white and blue outfit, but Shego liked it way better. She put it on quickly and noticed that there was something else in the cover. Brand new leather coat that fitted perfectly with her new outfit. Shego did not even notice that Kim entered her bedroom.
"Wow… you look… stunning!" Kim said when she noticed Shego's new outfit.
"I do, don't I?" Shego said with smile. She wanted to kiss Kim, but they both heard that the plane has just landed in front of their house. Shego just smiled at this bad timing. "We should go."
They were flying for few hours. Shego looked outside of the window and noticed that they are flying above the ocean. She considered it weird, but decided to keep that information for herself. Kim was sitting in front of her and looked lost in her thoughts. When the sun was almost setting the plane started to land in the middle of the dessert. Shego looked around and noticed that they are not in the States anymore. She called Betty because something did not feel right.
"I thought that our mission was supposedly in Arizona?" Shego asked her new boss.
"Yeah. It is." Betty confirmed.
"So, what the fuck are we doing in Saudi Arabia?" Shego demanded to know.
"Damn, I forgot to inform you. There is a compound in Riyadh called 'Arizona'. Dementor is hiding there. King Faisal is his grandfather-in-law, so you see." Betty said sheepishly.
"Right." Shego replied. "So what did he steal?"
"We're not certain. Just look for him and capture." Betty said. "That's your mission." She finished their conversation.
"Come on, Princess. This weather is killing me." Shego said to Kim. Their plane turned off the engines and the pilot promised to wait. Shego closed her coat and waited for Kim. The sun was setting and shining with a red glow through the sand. The wind was blowing right into their faces blowing tons of sand right into their eyes. They have entered the Arizona Compound and tried to look for their target. Muezzin called for the Sunset Prayer and Shego smiled at it. Just as soon as the darkness covered the Arabic land they heard some commotion at the swimming pool. Shego showed Kim to run around the building to snoop around while she jumped on the flat roof and looked around. Her coat flipped behind her. The sandy wind blew around. Shego noticed Kim hidden in the bushed. They noticed that all of Dementor's henchmen were lounging by the pool. That leaves the question: where is Dementor himself. Shego pulled her wrist to her mouth and turned her communication device on.
"Kim, Dementor must be here somewhere." Shego whispered and noticed that Kim received message.
"Finally! I win!" They both heard the familiar voice coming from the inside.
"We've got our birdy." Kim said and Shego could hear Kim smile.
"Time to kick some asses." Shego said and jumped down. "I hope you don't mind if I join the party?" Shego asked and the Henchmen attacked her. She ducked and did a backflip that kicked some men right in the face. Kim jumped out from the bushes and took out next few. Unfortunately two men grabbed her from behind. Shego noticed that but was too busy knocking out another ten men. Kim got quite angry. She hated when bad guys did that. She kicked and turned around, but another man punched in the face.
"Oh, no you didn't." She whispered and felt a rage inside her. She did not notice how her body started to glow in light blue light. She grabbed the frightened men and threw him at the Dementor's house. She looked at the flying body that went through the wall and flew in front of Dementor's face. Shego turned around and noticed Kim's glow.
"Oh, boy…" Shego whispered and punched her last opponent. Kim just walked to Shego and they both entered the house. Dementor apparently was enjoying himself, but that made Shego just smile. She loved that angry look on people's faces.
"What are you doing here?" Dementor demanded to know. He was hugging some metallic box. Kim just stepped forward and punched him in the face with her glow. That sent him back few meters and left unconscious.
"Well… that was quick." Shego said as she walked over to the unconscious body. She took away the box he was hugging and put it in her coat. Then she took off handcuffs and put them on Dementor's wrists. Shego than turned around to Kim and looked at her lover who was staring at her hands. "How do you feel?"
"Never felt this good." Kim said with a smile. "Let's get out of here." She added when she hear some police cars on their way. They quickly ran toward their plane. Kim was carrying Dementor while Shego cleared the way. The quickly entered their vehicle and Shego told pilot to take off quickly. Kim went to the back of the plane and placed Dementor in the containment room and then she returned to the seat. Shego sat in front of her and looked out of the window. Everything was clear, so Shego just sat back and looked at Kim.
"So…" Shego started.
"Yeah… I know. I'll call Wade as soon as we'll be back in Middleton." Kim promised. "Let's not tell Betty about this. At least not yet." Kim asked.
"Sure… I'm just worried about you." Shego admitted and bent over to Kim to grab her hand. "Not my fault that I'm afraid to lose you, Princess." Shego said as she kissed Kim's hand.
Ride back to Middleton was quick and quiet as Kim fell asleep. Shego just looked at her and kept wondering about what happened in Saudi Arabia. Was it some sort of laser reaction? And if it was, will it wear off in some time? Shego felt that she really needed to talk with Betty or someone else. She was really scared for Kim's life, but what worried her more was that Kim did not care. Shego decided to take a nap and sleep that problem off.
Shego was in some weird castle and she had to sleep there every single night. Every time she fell asleep she had a dream of that blonde ghost beating the crap out of her with an oak stool.
"What the fuck?" Shego asked herself when she woke up. She considered it one of those dreams she never want to think of again. She looked around and noticed that the plane is landing on Global Justice's Headquarters. She pushed Kim slightly and looked how the younger girl opens slowly her olive green eyes.
"What's going on?" Kim asked.
"We're in GJ. Let's be over with that and go home." Shego asked with begging kind of voice.
"Um… Shego? Can ask you something?"
"You already did." Shego teased, but Kim just ignored that comment.
"Can you not tell Betty about that… well… you know." Kim tried to speak up, but Shego knew anyway what her companion had in mind.
"Sure… just call Wade later, okay?" Shego asked and Kim nodded. They took Dementor from his containment cell and walked him into the GJ prison. As Shego walked through the corridor with cells full of criminals on both sides she just felt deadliest glares on her since… ever. She tried not to show that she cared, but it was a task more difficult than anything.
"Shego! Get me outta here!" They both heard squeaky voice of Shego's ex-boss, but they have ignored it and continued their walk. Finally they stopped and threw Dementor into the empty cell. The doors closed and they could go back. Just before they left Shego caught one of the agents and gave him the box Dementor was holding.
"Make sure that Dr. Director receives that." Shego ordered and went back to the plane. The pilot was supposed to take them back home and he did. The flight was completely silent. Kim noticed that something was bothering ex-criminal, but she preferred to talk about it in the privacy of their house.
They have exited the plane and Kim thanked the pilot. Shego, with her usual crankiness, exited the plane without the word and entered her house. Kim followed her shortly just to notice that Shego was lying half asleep on the couch.
"Is something bothering you?" Kim asked as she sat down next to her warm lover.
"Yeah." Was all Shego replied.
"Wanna tell me?"
"Well… if you must know I knew every person in that prison. It was like… like I am traitor. 'Sleeping with the enemy' and stuff like this." Shego tried to explain her feelings. "Anyways… they all know that I am no longer in the criminal business, which might endanger you or your family. You know villains… they are very vengeful." Shego explained and touched Kim's cheek.
"Don't worry, Shego. Nothing like that will happen. Not now, not ever." Kim tried to comfort her lover.
"I'm tired. You mind if I go to sleep now?" Shego asked as she sat up on the couch.
"Not at all… em…"
"Is something bothering you?" Shego asked as she stood up.
"Would you mind if I'll sleep with you?" Kim finally said out loud what she has been dreaming of for nights.
"Not at all. Come." Shego said with a smile.
In ten minutes time they were both buddle up in Shego's bed. Content of their presence. Just feeling their bodies' aromas and smiling shyly. Shego hugged Kim even tighter and the younger female switched her position to lay her head on Shego's heart. It was the best feeling ever – the feeling of Shego's heartbeat. Kim smiled once again and fell asleep. Shego looked down and kissed Kim's forehead. She than closed her eyes and fell into the deep slumber. No more weird dreams…
A/N: So… I decided to continue. One 'Booyah' for me, please. I know that this chapter might be shorter than and not as captivating as the previous ones, but I'm just getting started with explaining that sitch. Next chapter should explain all of the mysteries but it will be posted after Sunday, because I have guests in the house. Enjoy reading.
Respectfully
