A\N: Sorry, yesterday was the Day of Getting Nothing Done. Better today. I'm gonna make this chappie longer, so let me know if you like it that way. Whether I keep the chapters long or short is up to you!
Kimmy's asleep.
I blink. Well, that's something I didn't expect. Team Go did tell me they were working with her, but I didn't expect to see her sleeping until the battle's over, no matter how long it takes. Then again, we've been fighting for hours.
I pick her up and carry her off. She looks exhausted. She snuggles closer to me in her sleep and I smile. She really likes me when her hero mode isn't on.
"Shego?" Kim mutters. "Whassgoinon?"
I set her down. "You're eating this." I hand her some candy. She takes it and obediantly starts eating, and I notice how tiny she is. She needs some real food soon. "How's it going, Princess?"
"I've been fighting since this started. Three guesses."
"Twelve hours? No wonder you fell asleep, Pumpkin." I smile, sitting next to her. "So how'd your parents take it?"
"Take what?"
I snort, nudging her. "Don't give me that puppy-dog look, Miss Kimmy. You came out. How'd they take it?"
"How'd you know I came out?"
I roll my eyes. "I'm not fifteen."
"Seventeen. And they took it okay. Dad was surprised."
I blink. Well, well. Miracles happen every day...good thing, too, or the Possibles would have learned exactly what the limits of "Anything's possible for a Possible" is. I put an arm around Kim. "I'm glad." I tell her, kissing the top of her head. "Really glad."
She snuggles against me, yawning softly. "Well, it won't matter if we all die."
"Don't worry, Princess. You're doing fine." I try not to pull her into my lap, then just give up and do it anyway. What's the point of resisting? I like her. She knows that. And as long as she's happy, we're good, right?
Kim settles her head against my shoulder. "Uh...Shego? If...if I don't make it, will you tell my parents I'm sorry?"
I resist the urge to bang my head into the wall. "Kim, I just pulled you into my lap. We're having a moment. Thoughts of dying aren't actually supposed to interfere here."
Kim blushes. "Um...are we?"
I roll my eyes and kiss her.
She meeps and then sighs with pleasure. I carefully slide my toung into her mouth, trying not to scare her. I really really really don't wanna end up being the reason she freaks out and goes back to boys. Kim tries to copy my motions and my whole body replies in the affermative. I moan, deepening the kiss.
"SHEGO!"
Oh, shit. I break off the kiss and glare at Hego, who not only can't spell tact, but wouldn't understand it if it danced the can-can naked in his face. "Hego?"
"What are you doing? Get away from her!"
"HEGO!" I shout. "Chill! For the love of God, can't two girls make out around here?"
"Shego, Kim's not gay."
Kimmy sits up and sighs. "Hego, go away."
Hego blinks.
I gently set Kim down and get up, glaring at my elder brother. "Listen, moron, just because you're the largest living life form with an ameoba for a brain doesn't mean you can barge in on me and Kim having a moment!"
"Uh...Sheeg..."
"Don't call me that." I snap, totally annoyed. Where does he get off, thinking I'd kiss someone who didn't want me to, again? Hel-lo, theif, not pervert. "If you really feel the need to go barge in on someone, why don't you try Mego when he's singing in the shower?"
"There's a lovely image."
Shit. I turn around. "Dr. D?"
He looks really, really insane. And he's got Kim, a gun aimed at her head. "Come on, Shego. I have a lovely brainwashing machine, and I've been just dying to use it. On you."
"Shego?" Kim mouths, terrified. Oh, god. Oh my god...No. Don't you dare panic now, Shego. Think! Okay, can't do anything yet. Need to get Kim out of there.
"Chill, Dr. D." I say casually. "Let Princess go. She's useless right now."
"Oh, I don't think so." Drakken says with a smirk. "But if you're good, maybe I'll let you play with her, hmm?" Kim's way too freaked out. I need to do damage control now.
An idea sparks into my head. One I shouldn't have, and the best I've heard yet.
Forgive me for this, Kim.
"All right, all right, Dr. D, chill. I'm goin', I'm goin'." I tell him.
I let him lead me away, and as I do, I pray I can pull this off. Preferably without dying.
I'm actually surprised at my acting skills. Maybe I should do a stint on Broadway.
Dr. D's busy planning his government, now that everything's under his control. I stand in one corner of the room, a 'mindless zombie'. Kimmy's tied to a chair, bleeding and nearly crying from fear. She's never actually been tortured before; I kept Drakken well away from her and Stoppable when he was in a torturing mood.
I need to act now.
Dr. D snaps at one of the cameramen, "Are we set up or not?"
"Y-yes, Your Highness." The man stammers. Drakken's planning to announce his supremacy to the world live via TV, and he's really freaking out about it.
"Shego! Get my crown!"
"Yes, Master." I drone, then stab him in the back. Nothing fatal, but it's painful as hell and trust me, he is NOT ruling anyone for a while.
"Shego! I...I trusted you!" Drakken whimpers.
I slice open his upper arm, where he's scarred from a lab accedent. He howls in pain; scars are extrordinarily sensitive. Especially to being opened violently.
"You do not hurt Kim." I tell him coldly. "You! Get him out of here. Put him in a hospital. I don't need him dying yet." The man I pointed to hurries over.
I untie Kim, checking her wounds. She's shaking. Shock, maybe? "Damnit, Possible, you are not freaking out on me, you hear me?" I tell her. "You're safe now. Don't you dare freak out."
"Here." A new person, a doctor. "Let me take her, Your Majesty." Shit. They actually think I usurped Drakken. This was the flaw in my plan...ah, well. Might as well play this out.
I nod, standing. The crown was intended for me, really. I was using it to store energy in the center emerald. I focus enough in it so it glows right now.
"I am your new Queen." I announce. "Now, announce me."
Let's hope I can pull this off without accedentally rearranging Earth's power structure.
