Chapter 10: Preparation

Disclaimer: I do not own Kim Possible. All the characters mentioned [from the television show] belong to Disney.

Punished Shego was when Kim had Wade track down Drakken's new lair. The hero infiltrated the base as soon as night fell, retrieving the device and given it to Ron who'd been able to accompany her. After briefly explaining she and the thief had a bit of a score to settle, the sidekick took his leave albeit clumsily; Kim and Shego had had to ignore the base security alarm.

The hero spent the better part of two hours torturing her lover with fleeting touches and teasing grazes before finally allowing her two intense orgasms. During this time, Kim had also gotten Shego to agree to dinner with her family. The red head left after cuddling with the thief for a while since she didn't want to risk Drakken finding out about their relationship; their trip to the amusement park never made it public due to the events that'd followed.

After leaving, Kim checked in with Ron. She found out that the blonde had turned the stolen device over to the police and had made it home. Since it was only 9:30pm when the red head left, she decided to spend some time with her life long friend for a movie night before heading home. Team Possible shared a few good laughs, popcorn, sodas, and of course Bueno Nacho before the olive eyed woman left for her own home.

The week seemed to fly by for Kim, school work posing little problem for the genius even though she was going out every night on missions and the like. After the ordeal with her capture, she was fairly surprised the week had gone off without incident, but she didn't let negative thoughts plague her and slow her down any. Before she knew it Friday rolled around which meant it was time for her parents to formally meet Shego. Kim was slightly nervous but otherwise overjoyed because if everything went well her parents would pay for an apartment that Kim was looking at buying and pay for it until she graduated from college.

Kim's House – 6:00pm

Ann Possible just finished up dinner which consisted of sliced pot roast, baby carrots, sweet peas, and mashed potatoes. The twins were helping set the table while Mr. Dr. Possible read a book. As the family finished up with the meal, they heard keys in the lock of the front door; Kim was home with Shego.

"Smells good in here," Kim laughed as she locked up behind Shego who looked as though she really didn't want to be there, which she didn't.

The plasma wielding woman simply nodded in greeting since she really had nothing to say. As Kim disappeared to help her mother in the kitchen, James Possible pulled Shego off to the side to have a little...talk with her about the consequences of hurting his daughter. Even the green hued woman couldn't stop her face from draining of color at the various uses of black holes she now knew about. After conversing, or more accurately listening, to Mr. Dr. Possible, everyone was called to dinner.

Things went rather easily, the twins asking their questions about Shego's plasma, and Kim's parents asking whatever question they may have wanted answers to about why she did what she did. Shego gave sufficient enough answers though she opted not to go into detail, and the teen's parents respected the woman's privacy; they felt she was a good enough person despite her line of work not being an honest one.

After dinner, Shego was permitted to stay at the Possible Residence long enough for her to be able to watch a movie with Kim. The couple took over the couch, cuddling atop the relatively comfortable piece of furniture as if they were the only ones in the world, and to them, they were. Shego lay across the length of the couch, one arm bracing her neck against the arm rest while the other circled around Kim who was laying on top of her, cheek nuzzled into her breasts. About a third of the way through the movie, Shego drifted off to sleep, a soft smile resting on her lips.

Abandoned Prison Facility – 7:30pm

Syko walked through the sliding doors leading to the area of the prison facility where she was to meet with Ericka. She was all business, her face cold and serious, for she had lost 6 of her assassins working this job, and was asking to bring more. "As I said over the phone, I expect compensation for the deaths of my assassins and resources, as well as a larger sum of money for the extra of men you're asking me to hire," the black haired woman stated as she came into contact with the blonde.

"Name your price, I'll have it transferred to your private account. As for compensation for the loss of your members...the remaining members of your Organization, not including the extra men I'm asking you to hire, will be granted super powers. I think it's fair, and also enough to bring down Shego and Kim Possible. Do we have a deal?" Ericka responded cooly; she didn't care what it took, she just wanted Shego to suffer...greatly.

Syko remained silent for a few moments as she allowed Ericka's words to sink fully. With Ren's absence, it seemed that the woman's blood lust had finally taken over, but she didn't ask questions about the morals of those she and her organization killed for – no one paying for someone else to be murdered could be without shame or guilt. "We have a deal."

Ericka simply nodded and led Syko to the training room. The black haired woman called the rest of her organization to meet her there, and one by one they were each blasted with the ray gun. They practiced their abilities freely, finding out who complemented who best and forming pairs based on that knowledge. Each pair would form a strike team who's movements would be controlled by Ericka. The strike teams would each, in turn, lead their own portion of the henchmen they hired; this was turning into a full scale blitz attack.

As the strike teams paired off, they also learned ways to combine their powers for maximum damage and defense should they find themselves in a tight spot. Ericka, on the other hand, was making phone calls. Syko had given the o.k to hire mercenaries while she trained the new powers. It was a delicate procedure getting into contact with the different organizations, but it was absolutely necessary. She needed men who would follow orders without a second thought and didn't care if they had to kill to complete a job; she didn't want Shego dead but if any one got in the way she wanted them dealt with. "Send me everyone you've got. I'm going for a full scale attack and I'm not taking any chances. Money upfront, no questions asked. You name your price. Meet me at the location I gave you when you have it done," Ericka spoke coldly, ending the call before destroying the burn phone she'd purchased. Things over the next few weeks would be absolutely crucial for Ericka but she was ready; Shego was going to pay...dearly.

Kim's House – 8:00pm

Shego was woken up by the sound Kim's voice. The movie had gone off, and though Kim didn't want to be without her lover's warmth, the elder woman needed to be woken up. The red head kissed the woman's temple before pulling away to let the thief sit up. "That movie should've been longer," Shego sighed softly, running a hand through her black mane after flexing her arm and hand to get the blood flowing once more."

Kim certainly sympathized with her girlfriend, but she had a solution. Before waking Shego, Kim had gone to ask her parents about their decision, and was nothing but smiles when she heard they had no objections. They were going to allow the teen to live with her girlfriend until she had her own apartment, with the exception she called daily. "I can't just leave you here can I?" Kim grinned.

Arching an eyebrow, Shego spoke, "What're you talking about Kimmie?"

"You mean aside from staying with you for the week?"

The super powered woman blinked before a smirk tugged at her lips, "A week with alone? With me? You sure you want to go down that road Princess?"

The words spoken by her lover held promise of a week full of fun and she couldn't stop the shiver of anticipation that ran through her body, "You already know the answer," Kim stated simply.

Pushing herself to her feet, Shego would wrap an arm around Kim's waist, her free hand cupping the hero's cheek, "Humor me," she whispered softly as her lips ghosted over Kim's before pulling away just enough to break contact.

Her heart beating wildly in her chest at the sensual energy pouring off the elder woman caused her to take a sharp intake of breath; only Shego could invoke such a reaction after such a time together. "I can't wait..." she breathed, loving the feel of Shego's fingers as they pushed under her shirt and made circles on the small of her back.

Shego purred into her girl's ear softly before nipping lightly at the lobe and soothing with gentle licks. She stopped at the sound of someone clearing their throat, whispering softly in Kim's ear, "Let's hurry."

Ruined Military Outpost – 3:29am

"Ren and I have been looking at this spot for a while. It's secure and military personnel no longer monitor it due to it being destroyed by an internal mishap. The upgrades are already in place, the only thing left is stealing a big enough power core to power it all. It won't take longer than 3 days to retrieve and install," Ericka explained to Syko as they sat in one of the black cars previously en route to their new base of operations.

"It'll have to do. As long we have somewhere to fall back to after we do this, the location doesn't much matter. My people will take care of surveillance and taking care of anything that may...go wrong," Syko responded coolly as the car door was opened and she stepped out.

Ericka remained silent as the group poured out of the cars and made their way inside. As promised, everything was already set up, just without adequate power to run everything. "I'll do you a favor Ericka," Syko spoke rather cryptically before splitting off from the group as she pushed black shades on to her face. Syke, who seemed to appear from thin air fell into step beside the woman, both clad in simple black suits and white collared shirts, before they both disappeared for their self-assigned job.

A/N: Since my last update took so long, I didn't want to make you all wait for this one. R&R, and most importantly enjoy and send ideas my way.

Until next time~
