Summary: Drakken gets settled in and Shego has a house warming surprise.
In a very Mego-like fashion all of her brothers had slipped away, claiming to attend to business of their own, during the tour of Go tower such that when she finally arrived at the room that was to house the blue scientist it was only herself and Drakken.
"And this is where you'll sleep." she said entering the room first and doing a wave-y gesture as if she was one of the beautiful assistant on a game show and she was showing the happy winner his prize.
Truth be told Shego barely had the room to have waved her arm around, a fact which vexed Drakken who was scanning the walls for some sort of secret switch which when pressed would make the walls collapse and reveal the true dimensions of his new domain.
"What this is it? This broom closet is where you will house the man who will lead you to the cutting edge of science based crime " Drakken shuddered for a second "fighting. Why Filthy Lucre wouldn't agree to stay here even if the rent was negative 10.000 $ per month !"
"Filthy wha ? ... negative dollars per month and you're supposed to be our designated science nerd ?"
"Negative dollars means you'd pay him instead of him paying you ... and you're better off not knowing who Lucre is."
"Ok whatever Doctor D ... Look sit down try the bed and tell if you can sleep, I don't think we have another mattress if you don't like this one but maybe Hego can move a couch or something."
Drakken sat down on the bed and did as he was told seeing that it would be in his best interest, not that there were other places where he could sit down as the so called room contained only a bed, a small clothes rack and a night-stand on which he maybe he could write down some notes if he moved the lava lamp which was currently occupying it.
"It's hardly befitting the future ruler of Drakkentopia I call tell you that!"
Shego heard that line and then proceeded to stare for a second at the blue would be ruler, as if something had just clicked in her head and she was finally seeing the true Drakken and a decision was formed. She then proceeded to nimbly slid behind Drakken on the bed, he was sitting on the edge and there was just barely enough room for her lithe frame between him and the wall.
"Look Doc I get it that you've just got out of prison, and moving to a new city and working on the side of uhmm justice I guess, is a big change. But you shouldn't be so stressed, I just know this isn't your ordinary self ... all complaining about everything."
"Uhm Miss Shego are you sure this is ethical, you are kind of my warden and this is quite unorth ... "
He fell into silence as her nimble fingers began massaging his back and neck, his mind turned to putty embarrassingly fast. This was a completely new experience to Drakken, he'd had the money for trips to massage parlours but felt it would have been a waste of valuable plotting time.
And now that the stress that had been building from having to work for do-gooders from the personalities of said do-gooders dissipated as if it had been hit by a desintregration ray and he was in heaven (he'd definitely add massaging capabilities to his next Bebe model), so he did not realize on a conscious level that some time after the massage started one hand had disappeared.
No thought had gone to it's whereabouts until he felt the texture of leather on his neck and the weight of the electronics which were embedded in the collar.
He jumped up from the bed mortified, which she had allowed him to do as she'd released the lock her legs had formed around his torso, and was now blushing and pointing a finger at her.
"You ... you ... tricked me! Heroes aren't allowed to do that! Lead me on into thinking you actually l..."
"Is that a remote control in your pocket or are you glad to see me ? " she said with a small grin.
"Gaah ! Isn't me being collared like some common criminal enough, now I also have to be mocked ?"
"Hey hey hey, that is no common criminal tracking device it's got special functions " she said while waving the remote she alluded to " for one thing it doesn't bind you to your house as we might need you on the field and more importantly it can do this."
Electricity surged though Drakken, at the moment it merely gave him a nasty shock but it was clear that the collar was capable of higher voltage and amperage potentially seriously harming him.
"Ok Doctor D. your official job is to be the whole team's go-to-nerd but since there's only one remote to your collar and it's not with my brothers it's mine " she said as she rose up and got into his personal space looking him right in the eyes " so in effect you're my personal geek."
Drakken's eyes narrowed dangerously his whole body beginning to tremble from some unexpected force, Shego took a small step back suddenly beginning to rethink her 'show him who's the boss' strategy.
" 'm not some slave urgh- my destiny - Like a powerful Khan !"
Shego could then only watch on, a slack expression on her face as the great and powerful Dr. Drakken did a little dance-like thing via stomping his legs on the floor.
After he'd exorcised some anger in this manner and Shego had mentally face palmed, for the tenth time for considering this guy a serious threat.
It was clear to her that he was about as much a threat as very irritable puppy, he probably could be soothed in the same way via a belly rub, "Wow wow hold the phone, weird thought there, let's not pursue this idea further." her brain supplied.
"So we have a Go meeting to attend " she began as to not dwell on the awkwardness any longer " your audience awaits oh great and powerful Khan."
"Oh zip that lip." he said although he starting following her the fact that she could shock him at any time apparently forgotten.
They both left the room making their way to the main hall, each oddly enough content, Shego for managing to get the disciplinary device on him relatively without a hassle and if she got his number right he wasn't the type to tell on her to her brothers that she'd used her feminine wiles for that deception and Drakken content that he had managed to get someone to call him 'Khan' and that his favourite Team Go member was also also the most morally flexible.
Author notes: I based Shego actually zapping Drakken in order to show him how the collar worked on Supreme One! Shego being very zappy-happy with Future Drakken in "A Sitch in Time".
This fic will be interesting for me as a writer as Drakken won't have his usual motive for hanging around Shego, she's not his employe anymore in fact Shego has all the cards and he could be sent flying back to prison on the whims of Team Go.
Not that Drakken will let that bother him in his quest to get Shego to switch sides, which is simultaneously both very easy and hard to achieve.
About the rent, I'm not from the USA but I tried to insert a suitably big arbitrary number for the rent Filthy Lucre would not have approved, and for the dance Drakken it's the one from his raps when he describes Shego kicking him in his ego.
