A/N: This time we'll have some actions as promised. Just stay with me and wait for it ;)
The next day after Kim and Shego returned from their little trip they both had to go to GJ Headquarters to meet Betty as their official supervisor. As they decided, Kim quit University to join GJ and Shego quit the paths of Evil to join GJ. They entered Betty's office. It was a small dark room with a desk in the corner and a small sofa opposite the door. Dr. Director was already waiting for them.
"Come on in. Sit down." Betty invited them in. "We don't have much time."
"We don't?" Kim asked. She looked at Shego, who was strangely cold for the past day. She still could not accept the fact that Kim did not mind about the danger that came along with the relationship with Shego.
"No. We were informed yesterday that someone broke into the Hench's laboratory." Betty informed. Both Kim and Shego sat down and looked into the files.
"I know this place." Shego finally spoke up. "It's easy to penetrate. Stealing from Hench is a piece of cake. Even amateur can do it." She commented.
"Good that we have a thief here." Betty said.
"Hey!" Shego got offended. "Don't label me. I didn't steal in quite some time."
"Right, sorry." Betty apologized. "You have to go into that laboratory and find the thief. Nothing easier."
Kim and Shego stood up and were about to leave when Shego finally remembered what did she want to ask her new boss.
"I believe that we will discuss the financial matters later, right?" Shego asked with a small taunting smile.
"Just go Shego." Betty replied already tired of Shego. "You don't have to worry about anything."
With those words Shego smiled and left with Kim. They have taken GJ's jet and flew over to a little island where Hench's lab was ruined. They walked in and saw nothing but ashes. They could not understand what really happened there, because they were informed only about the robbery.
"What do you think?" Kim asked Shego after a while of walking through the destroyed building.
"That it's a bad idea." Shego said and Kim already knew what she meant.
"I meant the lab not us. And you should get over it." Kim unconsciously fell into Shego's conversation.
"I won't, Princess. You know I care for you. I would never forgive myself if something would've happened to you." She said and felt the weight of necklace in her pocket. There was no chance to give it to Kim yet. They kept walking though the building.
"But I would forgive you, so shut up for fuck's sake!" Kim got angry a bit, because she loved Shego no matter what. "Wait!"
"What?" Shego asked with "the hell you want now?" kind of voice. She looked at Kim with irritated look on her face.
"You stepped on something." Kim said and walked toward Shego to pick up a piece of paper. "It's a letter." She said and started to read. "We have to go back to GJ and prepare. It's a trap." She added and gave Shego the letter.
Kim and Shego
If you want me to return the technology I've stolen you have to meet me tomorrow at midnight at the following coordinates.
"Why do you want to go to GJ?" Shego asked with confused voice.
"Because we don't know who wrote it and we have to prepare." Kim explained in the "duh" kind of voice.
"Maybe you don't, but I do." Shego smiled with superiority. Kim arched her eyebrow. "It's Drakken's handwriting. I know it too well. He always made me lists of things to steal. Plus, this coordinates… it's his lair on the Caribbean." Shego said and felt good that she knew something her heroic partner did not know.
"Okay… fine. So we have to go there tonight and ask for the backup." Kim said.
"Why tonight?" Shego asked.
"He broke into the lab yesterday. So he meant today's midnight." Kim said with a smile. Shego got a little grumpy. She did not want to admit that Kim was in fact better. Well, she was better in finding clues at least.
"Fine." Shego said and followed Kim into the jet. Though she had to admit that Kim looked great in her new GJ, black uniform.
Jet took them both back to GJ where they knew they had to speak with Betty, which stopped being such pleasure when she became their boss. But what to do? It is life. But right now they were in the jet with autopilot and they had chance to talk.
"What do you think he's planning?" Kim asked Shego after a while.
"Why do you ask me? I never knew what he was up to. The only thing I cared about was the fact whether his plan is evil enough to bring you in to fight me." Shego admitted honestly. Kim looked at her. She appreciated such honesty. "But I believe he's up to revenge."
"That would be too logical. Okay, I defeat him since I was a teenager and you betrayed him, but… still it's too logical for him." Kim commented.
"True…" She said and became quiet for a while. They still had half an hour till they get back to the Headquarters. "Princess…" Shego has begun as she took something off the pocket. "I want you to have something." She added as she gave Kim the necklace she took from her parents' house.
"But Shego… I don't think…"
"Then don't think and take it. It's a gift. So you will always remember what I feel for you." Shego said and putted the necklace on Kim's neck.
"It's beautiful. Thank you." Kim said and hugged Shego tightly. Shego returned the gesture. She was glad to have Kim. Doy, she was even glad to become a good guy again. Just to be this happy with that woman. All of it was worth it. As she thought so Shego kissed Kim with the utter love and delicacy. Kim accepted the kiss. Though this time Shego did not give in to the kiss. She did not want to destroy Betty's jet. Imagine the explanations afterwards. Though it was not the shortest kiss, because as they finished the jet was already landing in the base. Kim and Shego smiled at each other and went to the Betty's office.
"It's Drakken and it's a trap." Shego said when she entered Betty's office without warning. It was not a good idea, because Betty was seriously busy with a blonde, sexy as a demon, chick, which was thrown off Betty as soon as they noticed Shego in their private space. "Nice." Shego laughed at Betty, who apparently was able to blush even more than Kim.
"Em… Shego that's Dr. Porter." Betty introduced her lover.
"The pleasure is all yours, I believe." Shego mocked both females with a devilish smile. "Or at least it was before I came in." She added and she almost laughed her head off. Before she could stop Kim went into the office as well and could not understand anything that was going on. Too bad she had to go to give the letter to the graphology department.
"What do you want?" Betty demanded to know. Shego was just the same mocking creature as she used to be years ago.
"Well, sorry to disturb you… and you." Shego addressed also Dr. Porter. "But we found something and we need serious back up and a plan till midnight." Shego became serious again.
"Yeah… right. Do you need some weapons?" Betty understood the seriousness of the situation.
"I am a weapon." Shego said in "duh" kind of voice. "But give Kim the plasma blast prototype I invented years ago. I know you rebuilt it." Shego glanced at Dr. Porter. She looked like the cybertronic kind of person.
"Right. Vivian, will you be so kind?" Betty asked her lover. Vivian did not say a word just nodded and left. She was still too ashamed to speak.
"Bye Vivian…" Shego mocked her boss' lover and then turned back to Betty. "That made my day." She laughed.
"I'm glad you're happy, but maybe next time you can knock." Betty opposed.
"You know I don't so maybe next time you can lock the door. Some things can be just too hurtful for my eyes to see." Shego said with daring voice.
"Shego! Betty!" Stop for fuck's sake. Just stop." Kim finally spoke up. "We have something to do and I want to be back home for breakfast." She added with small anger in her voice.
"Fine." Both Shego and Betty said. Both of them behaved like naughty children. Maybe that was because they grew up together? Kim really did not care.
"Now get me all the equipment we need and promise me, Betty, that you will not interfere until the last possible moment." Kim said and looked meaningfully into her boss' eye.
"Fine…" Betty repeated. "Now go and take some rest. In five hours we'll be ready." She dismissed her friends and at the same time subordinates.
Kim and Shego came back to Kim's house. It was awfully near the Headquarters and they needed some time of relaxation. Also they wanted to plan their tactic if Drakken will be prepared better then everybody could have expected. Kim and Shego laid down on the sofa. Shego was holding Kim tightly and listening to the heartbeat of the young hero.
"What if he'll use guns? Can guns kill you?" Kim finally asked the question that bothered her for quite some time. Shego opened one of her already closed eyes, took a deep breath and hugged Kim even tighter.
"I can stand a lot. He would need a lot and very powerful guns. What I'm worried about is your life." Shego said and sighed. "Listen… if something goes wrong, just run, okay? Will you do it for me?"
"You know, you talk like you don't know me… don't make me promise such thing, because I hate breaking promises…" Kim said honestly. Shego just gave her a small peck on the forehead.
"You know? You're not much better than me." Shego commented with a laugh and she was quite right. Kim was not all goody-two-shoes. She was just fighting on the side of "Good" if there are any sides. Kim did not care about the comment. She was just glad that Shego finally got over her obsession with the control of her powers in "specific" situations. Before they noticed they were both asleep.
While Betty's best agents were sleeping on the couch said woman decided to visit Vivian in Weaponry Division. She noticed her blonde lover working on a smaller version of Shego's plasma gun. She knew that Kim will not carry something of a size of a Kalashnikov.
"How is it going?" Betty asked Vivian.
"We'll be ready. Don't worry. Just few more tests and I'll be free." She informed. "Finally I met the Shego." Vivian changed the subject.
"I didn't know that there is "the" in front of "Shego"." Betty laughed a bit. "But yeah… you'll be meeting her more often. Don't let her get into you." She added.
"Oh, don't you worry." Vivian said with a smile. She stopped her work, turned around and aimed with a small gun. She pulled the trigger. Betty took cover, just in case. The plasma blast destroyed half of the lab. "Okay… that should do it." Vivian said with a smile. Betty looked at the room that was completely wrecked.
"Yeah… and I'm supposed to pay for the renovation?" Betty asked rhetorically.
"So… I'm free. Want to get something to eat. I'm starving." Vivian asked with a sweet smile.
"After you." Betty answered with a smile while she bowed comically. They went together upstairs into the mess hall and left the plasma gun in the safe place in the lab.
Few hours later Kim was awakened from her beauty sleep by strange stirring underneath her. She opened her eyes slowly and tried to understand what was happening.
"Kim… run… don't…" She heard Shego mumbling in her sleep. Apparently Kim's lover was having a nightmare. She probably was afraid of what might happen in Drakken's lair. That surprised Kim. Why would Shego fear Drakken? Did she know something about the mad scientist that GJ did not know? Nah… impossible. "Kim…" Shego continued and Kim tried to calm her love down. Shego's nightmare was getting worse. She ignited her plasma and moved her hands around. Kim tried to dodge, but it was getting more and more difficult.
"Shego! Wake up" Kim finally yelled, but it did not help. Shego fired a ball of plasma into the ceiling. "Shego!" She yelled louder and that finally gave some effect. Shego stirred and opened her eyes.
"Kimmie?" She whispered and opened her eyes widely. "Fuck!" She exclaimed as she noticed the fire on the ceiling. She stood up, delicately shoving Kim aside and extinguished the fire. When she finished she turned around and looked at Kim. "Sorry…" She almost whispered shyly as she sat down on the couch again.
"Don't worry about it, Shego." Kim assured her companion, who sighed.
"I will worry… I can't even sleep next to you." Shego expressed her worries with a deep breath. Shego looked back at Kim and touched her necklace. "Maybe it's not too late. Maybe you can still live your live away from me?" Shego has begun her depressing monologue.
"I'll take my chances with you." Kim said once again. "You will not change my mind. As long as you love me I will not leave you." She added and kisses Shego lovingly on the lips. "Don't fight the emotion that's hidden inside." She said and continued kissing. Fine, Shego thought and gave into the kiss. She stopped controlling herself and laid Kim underneath herself. She took over and her powers were sneaking out as the arousal was rising in her body. Kim started to moan, which drove Shego crazy of lust that waited to be satisfied. Kim felt Shego's hands sneaking into her pants. She started rock her hips toward the touch. She peeked and noticed that both of them are surrounded by Shego's flames. It did not hurt, but was slightly warm. Kim smiled and continued her actions. Shego was turned on and fondled Kim's clit to younger's woman's satisfaction. Kim arched back. She was about to climax when suddenly Shego heard the door open. She quickly jumped of Kim and sneaked over to the wall. Kim was left alone, unsatisfied. Her hair was a mess, breathing was shallow and underwear was completely wet. Shego have noticed a shadow of a person in a hall. She grabbed it and pulled in to see who dared to interrupt their private moment.
"Betty?" Shego asked in disbelief. What was she doing in Kim's house?
"Oh, I see I interrupted something." Their guest said with vicious smile when she has noticed that Shego was still "on fire". "I guess we're even now." She added and looked at Kim, who did all she could to look smart again.
"What brings you here, Betty?" Kim asked with still a little trembling voice.
"I just wanted to tell you that we're ready and waiting for you." Betty informed.
"Could you give us like five more minutes?" Shego asked with demanding voice. She did not want to leave Kim like that. It could interfere with Kim's judgment during the mission. Betty looked around the room and with a sad look turned back to Shego.
"I'm afraid that I can't. We have to stop Drakken." Betty said. "But I know you. It'll take you like five minutes and you'll be back home." She tried to cheer women up. As she did she turned around and left the house. Shego kneeled on the floor and tried to calm herself down. She took several deep breaths until the flames around her disappeared.
"Come on. I just want to be back home." Kim said when Shego stood back up.
"Yeah… so do I. Will be back in a flash." Shego replied with a small smile. She pecked Kim on the lips and they left the house. Betty was waiting for them in the car outside.
Before anyone could have noticed GJ's plane was nearing Drakken's lair on the Caribbean. Kim and Shego looked at each other. Betty exited the pilot's cabin and looked at them.
"Okay… I know you know each other and your fighting styles, but do understand that it's your first serious mission as partners." Betty has begun. "Any plan on how to get in?" She asked.
"Through my own exit shaft." Shego said still looking at Kim. "I have an underwater tunnel connected with my room. It's close to the center of the lair. I believe this way we'll finish Drakken off in no time." She said now looking at Betty.
"Okay. Get ready." Betty agreed.
"Oh, and Betty?" Shego asked before she went to dress up in her aqualung. "Don't interfere. Just as Kim asked you."
"I'll try." She replied and threw Shego a plasma blast that was created for Kim. Shego nodded thankfully and turned around to get ready. She walked toward Kim and gave her a blast. "Just don't lose it." Shego said while Kim was inspecting the gun.
Both of them were soon ready. The plane lowered itself. They jumped into the water from thirty meters above. The water was cold and stormy. That was good, because it gave them more chances to enter the lair undetected. Shego led the way across the underwater mine field and other traps that Drakken usually had in those waters. In few minutes they approached a solid greenish gate. Shego took off her glove and touched with her plasma. The gate opened and they swam in. Just as they did that the gate closed behind them and the water started to flow away. They took off the aqualungs and began climbing the ladder. In about five minutes of silent climbing they have entered Shego's room through a trap door that was in Shego's room's floor. Shego stood up and helped Kim. Then she took a good look around and frowned. Though nothing has changed she had a weird feeling that something was not right. Usually her intuition did not fail her.
"Okay. We're in" Shego whispered into the intercom placed in her ear.
"Good. Wait for the right moment and do what you usually do." Betty replied. Shego looked at Kim and smiled slightly.
"Cheer up. That all should be over in no time." Shego said and touched Kim's cheek.
"You keep repeating it like you try to convince yourself." Kim has noticed as she walked toward the exit. Kim peeked out at the corridor. "Clean." She whispered and Shego followed her. It was quiet. Even too quiet. Before none of them could have reacted the floor beneath Kim opened and petite redhead fell into the deep pit.
"No!" Shego yelled behind her. She tried to jump and catch her love, but in was too late. The floor already closed itself. She ignited her hands and tried to break through the floor, but it gave no effects. Although it was a good distraction, because Shego did not notice metallic tentacles that grabbed her tightly. Her hands were covered with plasma resistant cuffs and something hit her forehead. Second later an electric shock ran through her body. A scream escaped her lips and soon she fell down unconscious.
Kim was falling down for some time now. She still could hear Shego's voice and punched on the floor. She knew it had to be hard for Shego. Kim took off her grappling hook, aimed and shot. She stopped her fall just above the spikes that were waiting for her.
"So obvious." She whispered and focused on her way out. She did not want Shego to worry. Kim took her plasma blast and looked at it. "Let's see what this baby can do." She commented as she aimed. One horribly loud shot created a hole in the wall. Luckily it created a way directly into the main room in the lair. She jumped out of the shaft and took a quick look around.
"Ah, Kim Possible." She has heard behind her back. "Too bad you did not die." He said with an evil grin on his face. "But we are about to change it." He added and gestured a machine behind Kim. She turned around and noticed that something that looked like a hanger was holding an unconscious body of Shego. Drakken pushed a button and the machine released Shego, who landed gracefully on the floor. "Shego!" Drakken yelled in his usual voice. "Destroy Kim Possible in most horrifying way you can think of." He gave an order and Shego lifted her head. Kim noticed a mind control device on her forehead.
"Shit…" Kim whispered as she touched her communication device. "Betty. Get me Jim and Tim with silicon phase disruptor" She said and did not even wait for the answer. She knew that Betty will do what asked even if she did not understand why she has to do it. Kim had bigger worries. Shego ignited her hands. Green plasma danced evilly around her fists. Said woman jumped forward into the air and tried to punch. Kim made a perfect dodge and roller over to the other side of the room. She was aware that she was always able to defeat Shego, because said woman wanted to. Now she will not stop her actions until she will complete the given order. Just as Kim realized that Shego turned around and punched Kim with all her might. Younger woman flew across the room and landed on the wall. Drakken laughed evilly and took a seat to have a better look at the fight. Kim slid down on the floor. Her sight was blurred. She shook her head and focused on her threat. She noticed Shego running toward her just in time to make another dodge. Unfortunately Shego knew Kim's technique too well. She grabbed Kim's ankle, burned it and threw Kim again. Kim rolled over to her back and noticed that Shego jumped at her. She started to punch Kim with all the strength she had. "Shego…" Kim whispered and looked into Shego's eyes which were flooded with tears. Just like last time when Drakken used neuro-compliance chip, Shego was fully aware of her actions, but could not stop obeying orders. Shego powered up her hand and was about to strike with all her power.
"Run…" Shego whispered and punched. Kim closed her eyes in fear, but she felt no pain. She opened her eyes and noticed that Shego punched the floor next to Kim's face.
"You can fight it." Kim mumbled. She could hardly speak because of the number of powerful punches that her face accepted. Shego jumped away from Kim and rolled on the floor. She grabbed her head and screamed in agony as she tried to fight the device on her forehead. Drakken did not like what he saw, but he predicted this. He slowly walked toward the control panel and turned the power of the device to its highest. Shego screamed even more as the electric shock ran through her body. Drakken just smiled at this sight and went back to his seat.
"Shego! Kill Kim Possible!" He gave an order again. Shego slowly stood up. Her nose was bleeding. Probably an electric shock interfered with her brain cells. She walked toward Kim and lifted her up. She looked into hero's eyes. Kim looked down into Shego's and cried a bit.
"I love you, Shego." Kim said for the first time, but it did not change Shego's actions. She fired her hands and was about to burn Kim alive. Betty did not say anything since the fight has begun. Kim did not know what to do. She did not want to die yet. Especially that she knew that after Shego will kill her Drakken will turn off the device and Shego will go crazy, because of what she has done. Come on, she is Kim Possible. She can do anything. Even winning this fight. Kim gathered up all strength she had left and kicked Shego in the face so strongly that said woman fell on the floor. Kim jumped on Shego and forced a kiss on the lips. This should jump start things, she thought. At first Shego fought the action but with every passing second she was more eager to kiss young hero. Drakken did not know what was happening. Soon enough Shego was surrounded by her own flames. As her arousal was rising, the device was losing its control over such powerful woman. When Kim released Shego from the hold she felt Shego's hands on her body. The temperature of the plasma was rising and Shego was able to fight the device. She threw Kim off of her and stood up quickly. She was impressed. Kim's plan worked and the catalyst was very pleasurable. When Shego decided that Kim was far enough she kept heating her up. Soon her clothes were burning off her body. The device melted off of her forehead. The energy expanded and started to destroy everything in the room. Kim hid behind the titanium machine. It seemed safe for her. Drakken did not have so much luck. His control panel exploded and another wave of plasmatic energy burned him to ash. Shego screamed again and fell on the ground. Kim peeked from behind the machine. Shego was lying on the ground hardly conscious. Her naked body was thrilling. Rest of her uniform was scattered around her. Kim quickly ran to Shego's old room and got a blanket. She returned as fast as she could. Her burned ankle did not help, but she managed to do so. Kim kneeled next to her lover, covered her body and hugged her tightly. "Come on, Shego. Talk to me." Kim pled as she has begun rocking with Shego in her arms. Said woman opened her eyes slightly.
"I love you too, Princess." Shego whispered and smiled faintly as she looked lovingly into Kim's eyes. She tried to touch Kim's cheek, but she was not strong enough. The look of Kim's beaten body made her feel terrible. Guilt was eating her up from the inside.
"Betty. We need a ride. Now." Kim commanded into her earphone and then looked down on Shego. She looked pale. That is paler than usual. Her nose kept bleeding. Kim noticed that Shego was weak. That outburst of power had to be exhausting. Indeed, Shego was fighting to stay conscious.
"I'm on it." Betty said whilst blowing up a whole in the wall of the lair. Kim helped Shego up, who was hardly standing on her own feet. Kim ignored the pain in her ankle and walked Shego toward the gangway. They entered the plane and fell on the floor. Shego was shivering. Kim quickly covered Shego's body.
"Betty! Help me over here." Kim commanded. Betty ran as fast as she could. She opened a medical bed that was in the corner of the plane and returned to Kim to help her put Shego on it. They strapped the shivering body onto the bed and sat down on the chairs. The plane started to fly back to the GJ Headquarters. "Who's flying that plane?" Kim asked a bit confused.
"You told me to get your brothers." Betty replied.
"Hicka bicka boo? Hoosha!" Kim heard from the cockpit.
"But I understand that you managed the situation. My team is looking for Drakken." Betty said. "Anyway… what have happened there?" Betty asked. Kim just took a deep breath and told her everything she knew. When she has finished Betty looked at Shego. "That would explain her state. Last time when I saw her like that she saved my life and my second eye." Betty said with a nostalgic voice. "Anyway… I have to call off my team." She added whilst got up. "Try to get some sleep." She added and left Kim alone. Said woman did not think about sleeping. She hobbled over to Shego's bed and grabbed a cold hand.
"Something's wrong." Kim whispered. She touched Shego's neck. "No pulse… no… no… BETTY!" Kim yelled and lowered Shego's bed. Betty ran in like a storm. "Get defibrillator!" She yelled as she bared Shego's chest. Betty did as asked and prepared the machine. "Clear!" Kim said and Betty electrocuted her friend. "It's not working." Kim panicked.
"I have a theory…" Betty started, but Kim did not want to listen.
"Clear!" Kim said and Betty was forced to electrocute her friend again. This second time Shego moved and opened slightly her eyes. She started to shiver again.
"Don't…" Shego whispered and looked at Betty. "Hibernation…" She added and fell back into the previous state. Kim looked in pure shock as her lover turned around to cover herself in the blanket while she kept shivering.
"Care to share?" Kim said with trembling voice as she turned around and went back to her chair.
"Well… when Shego is completely exhausted because of the use of her powers she has a habit of falling into the state of hibernation. The pulse is weak, the breathing is shallow. Few years ago I witnessed it and I thought that she was dead as well. Don't worry. She'll be fine soon." Betty assured shocked Kim. "Go to sleep. When you'll wake up everything will be fine. And we have to check you in the hospital. Even looking at you is painful." Betty said on her way out. Kim turned in the chair and now she has noticed. She hardly felt her body. Everything was sore. She took last look at Shego's bed and fell asleep. Once again she managed to survive.
A/N: That's another chapter. I hope you like it. I'm afraid that I will be finishing soon, because I have an article to write. Please review, comment and criticize.
