MISTAKES
CHAPTER SEVEN – WHERE IS SHEGO?
Ann had gone into the bathroom thinking the worse but hoping to find that Kim had only slipped on the wet floor but what she found was Kim leaning against the side of the bath a shard of glass in one hand and blood spilling from the wrist of the other. Ann went straight into panic but not forgetting her years of medical training she quickly grabbed a towel from the radiator and wrapping her own daughter's wrist in the towel and applying pressure to stem the flow of blood. Ann had tears falling from her eyes and her hands were shaking so much but somehow she was able to run some water in the bath and heaved Kim into to wash the cut. The blood was seemed to have no end and grabbing a first aid kit from the side began stitching up the wound (this was not the first serious cut Kim had suffered but it was the first self inflicted).
After stitching up her own daughter and making sure that she had a steady heartbeat she got Kim out the bath and dried her off, taking off Kim's clothes and dressing her in a simple nightie Ann was able to get Kim to her bed where she wrapped up the wound and let her rest.
Ann stayed by her bed for a few hours until she heard someone coming up the stairs by the time Ann got to Kim bedroom door it was already being opened and was met by James her husband and Kim's father. Ann dived into her husband's arms and tears began to stream from her eyes.
"Ann, darling...what's wrong?" James asked with worry.
Ann stepped back revealing her blood stained clothes which in turn made James eyes widen to unimaginable sizes "our Kimmie...she tried...she tried to take...her own life" and said between sobs.
James stood there speechless unsure whether to comfort his wife or check on his daughter so he just collected Ann up in his arms bridal style where she had a tight grip round his neck and he slowly made his way towards where Kim was sleeping.
"She's alright now...at least...physically...I did my best" Ann continued to sob between words.
"I know you did, you always do" James said with tears of his own as he took a seat beside his daughter on her bed. "You need to change..." before his wife could interrupt he held up his hand to her and continued "...I will stay with her and once you're cleaned up we will stay beside her until she wakes".
Ann nodded and went to wash up and change, while in the bathroom she noticed Kim's communication device and called Wade up.
"Hey Ki...Dr. P"
"Wade I need a favour but I don't want anyone to know what I'm doing not even Kim, do you understand" Ann asked staring at Wade with and unwavering look of complete seriousness.
Wade nodded "what do you need".
Somewhere on the coast of Mexico about a week later
"Do you know what I really hate?"
"That your date melted..."
"NO you"
BANG...BANG...BANG
Shego woke with a start covered in sweat from yet another nightmare, the same nightmare she had been having since she left Middleton 'why can't I just forget about that night...about you' Shego wondered.
BANG...BANG...BANG
"I'M COMING" Shego shouted towards her front door, quickly throwing on a pair of black tracksuit bottoms and a dark green t-shirt she made her way to the door. "WHAT?" she shouted as she opened her front door nearly ripping the door from the hinges.
Standing in front of Shego was a teenage Mexican boy with a box tied to trolley by his side "my...momma just asked me...to drop these off to...you" the young boy nervously replied.
Shego stepped back inside and went back into her bedroom only to emerge moments later and handed the boy some money, she then took the box and slammed the door shut moving towards the kitchen area where she opened the box. The delivery was her monthly supply of essentials, food and whatever else she had ordered that month.
Shego had been hiding out in a little house built on the beach of a low populated part of Mexico on the outskirts of a tiny village, she had set up an arrangement with one of the villagers who would acquire her needs and for her silence she would be paid quite nicely. She had been there since leaving Middleton and so far had no problems other than a few curious children from the village wanting to get a peak at the strange, green skinned woman.
Shego spent most her time just sunbathing, swimming, reading or painting which was one of her hobbies that nobody on the planet knew about not from fear of criticism because if anybody did say anything she would have lit them up like a Christmas tree but because she had a reputation to uphold. Which to her right here right now made her feel so stupid what was the point of having a reputation if you were hidden from the world and could not have the thing she wanted more than anything else...her princess.
After putting everything away she opened her fridge cracked open a cold beer and decided to read the first magazine she had seen in months, due to staying off grid she had decided on no television, no radio, and no internet basically no contact with the outside world but after this long she was curious.
Sitting on her black leather couch she looked at the latest edition of 'Monthly Super Villains' which to her seemed rather thin usually it was thick with all the villains failed plots, planned plots and their usual bad mouthing of each other. She looked at the cover which was plain black with a green line down the middle and the words "the Green Streak".
As she read the first article which seemed to be about some unknown vigilante patrolling the streets of Lowerton completely decimating gangs, crime bosses and anyone to put a foot wrong worse off they were not just being arrested they were being hospitalised. There was even a reward of $1000 for anyone that could give any information about this latest vigilante.
The next few articles were all about how GJ had stepped up the game and had put away most if not all the major super villains.
"Hmmm seems like Kimmie's out of a job"
Then she came to the next article which caused her to spit her mouth of beer out. The article was mainly guesses as to why Kim Possible had quit the hero biz months ago and guesses towards who she was dating stating that 'Kim Possible was indeed a lesbian and who could have possibly won her heart' followed by a top 5 most likely.
01 – Bonnie Rockwaller
02 – Monique (last name unknown)
03 – Britina
04 – Tara (last name unknown)
05 – Betty Director
"WHAT THE FUCK! Betty's on the list but I'm nowhere to be seen" Shego threw the magazine to the floor and started to march back and forth. "What is going on with the world since when did Kimmie quit and I know for a fact... she isn't gay, she can't be" Shego began to double guess herself had she made a mistake, she had never really asked if she was or wasn't she had just assumed because she was with the buffoon.
Shego collapsed back to the couch and picked up the magazine then started to flick through the magazine for anymore articles concerning Kim, there was nothing else until she came to the inside the back cover. There was a full page dedicated to what seemed to be an advert but what caught her eye was that the advert was in her colours, the page was in green/black squares with simple writing in white in the centre.
I am looking a woman
SHE claims to love my daughter
If you are reading this
She needs you
Now more than ever
You know where to find me
Don't GO away again
Shego was speechless but her mind seemed to be going through so many conflicting thoughts so fast that she could barely cling to a single one and then it all came to a blinding stop 'did I make a mistake?, obviously this is meant for me so if I return what do I say? What trouble could Kimmie have got into that she needs me? I need to find out either way'.
Middleton Hospital - 2 days later – 23:15
Ann was sitting at her desk in her private office at work filling out form and signing documents where really all she wanted right now was to be back at home with her daughter. Kim had awoken from the 'incident' within a few days and then a few days later she was moving around again, nobody knew what had happened except Kim and her parents. Kim had Bonnie and Monique both visit her while she was recovering physically but mentally she was still not ready, Ann and James had not yelled at Kim for what she did but they did explain how they felt about it and they both thought that at the moment there place was with their daughter.
"COULD DR. POSSIBLE PLEASE REPORT TO RECEPTION"
A voice called over the internal speaker system and Ann left her office, turning off the lights and locking her door then off to see why she was needed.
15 minutes later
Ann was heading back to her office very tired and confused, she had been called to the hospital at a late hour for an emergency operation and then she had been called to the reception due to a delivery of a suspicious green envelope and right at this moment her brain just was not in the mood for pranks. As she walked back to her office holding the letter which was written in green ink on a black piece of paper she kept reading the same message 'I shall meet you at your office. DONT KEEP ME WAITING'.
When Ann got back to the office she didn't even click that her office door was unlocked as she walked straight in and found that the lights were not working, she made her way to her desk in the dark and flicked on her table light. She picked up her phone to call maintenance to find that her phone was not working either so she slammed the phone down and fell back into her desk to look at her ceiling and sighed.
'CLICK'
Ann looked towards the sound of her door being locked to see a dark silhouette standing by her door "what do you want...there are no drugs here" Ann spoke with confidence.
"I am not a druggie and I'm not here to hurt you" spoke the shadow in a powerful but feminine voice.
'If only this day could get any worse' Ann thought before asking "then why are you here?"
"Because you called for me"
"..." Ann had so many thoughts going through her head at that moment 'was this woman a psych patient? Am I about to come to some harm? Will my Kimmie be alright? Who did I call for...?' "Sh...Shego?" Ann said in a barely audible voice but the mysterious figure heard.
The silhouette moved from the door and sat on a chair on the other side of the desk to Ann and reached for the table lamp where the mysterious woman angled the lamp to reveal who they were "the one and only" Shego said in a very extravagant way.
What happened next took mere seconds and was so quick that no even Shego with all her skills could have prevented it, not that she was expecting it in the first place.
SLAP
Ann had jumped to her feet and leant across her desk only to slap Shego right on her cheek leaving a throbbing red hand print.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" Shego yelled and she reached up to her cheek to feel the heat coming from her face and this time the heat had nothing to do with her plasma powers.
Ann moved around the desk and approached Shego, Shego could see Ann's face from the light coming from the lamp and the look on Ann's face was that of a mother willing to do anything to protect the young and this look sent a cold chill down her back that physically made her shiver. Ann walked right up to Shego and slammed her hands onto the chairs arm rests and looked Shego right in the eye and growled out "that was for what you did to my daughter". Ann then wrapped both arms around Shego's neck and sobbed into her shoulder as she said "and that's for coming back".
The two woman stayed in that position for a couple of minutes until Ann stepped back and leant back on her desk wiping her eyes of any stray tears. Shego was left confused she knew a lot had happened if the magazine she read was anything to go by but 'this' just seemed like she had stepped into the twilight zone.
After a couple more minutes as both women composed their selves Shego was first to speak "first off I don't like doing this whole mushy stuff, secondly I have been in hiding for like 10 months without any form of communication or news so I got no idea what is going on other than reading a magazine 2 days ago which is not the most reliable of sources and thirdly WHAT THE FUCK" she completed as she reached for her cheek a second time.
Ann looked somewhere between angry and sympathetic towards Shego as she replied "the mushy stuff is due to things that have gone on since the morning after you kidnapped my Kimmie and spilled your heart out and the slap is because of the results of that night and everything that followed. As for what exactly happened they are not my stories to tell if you want to find out the facts from the fiction you are going to have to speak to Kimmie".
This made Shego look down 'I still have questions for you Ann that needed answering before I even think about seeing my princess...wait did I just think my princess...do I even have the right'. Shego looked back up at Ann "how much do you know of what happened when I 'kidnapped' Kim? And I only came back because you said she needed my help" Shego asked but she was worried about how much Ann knew about that night.
Ann straightened up off her desk looked Shego right in the eyes and said "I know 'everything', I know you drugged her so she could not move or talk, I know how you spilled your heart out to her and I know how...shall we just say how you tried to get over her". Ann moved back around her desk and sat back in her chair and then stated "she does need your help more than she realises, all her family and friend have tried but failed...this could have all been avoided if you had just let her speak that night".
Shego was confused, shocked and yet somewhere deep down there was a slight glimmer of hope to what Ann had just said but could she believe in what Ann had just implied "Okay, I'm willing to help her...".
Ann cut in "...It's not that simple. There are several conditions"
"Huh"
Ann smirked at this and continued "you will help my daughter through thick and thin, you will not turn your back on her again. You will stay in our spare room at our house and you will commit no crimes while here".
"I don't know if you have heard but I have retired from crime and am no longer wanted by anybody unless I commit a crime. As for the rest I agree but how am I supposed to help her if you don't tell me what she's up against.
Ann's smirk go even bigger if that was possible "she's not against anyone but herself, you will find out everything when you meet her in the morning"
"I don't like going into things blind" Shego said with a hint of aggression.
"TOUGH, I will not say that the answer to Kimmie's problem rests with you because you are only part of the equation but with the two of you, together you might be able to help each other and when it's all said and done you might find that you both are a lot better off" Ann said with probably the biggest grin anybody had ever seen.
"Now I'm just confused but let's get this started"
To be continued
Will Kim and Shego get their happy ending? Will there be other mistakes along the line? What will Kim do when she sees Shego?
