The sun breaks over the horizon and it doesn't seem we have moved from where we left off, a small intake of consciousness brings a soft scent of vanilla and cinnammon. I relish in it, nuzzling gently into her hair as my hand carefully moves up and down her side so as not to wake her. Time to get down to business today, I can't keep pushing this time we have for I know I have used it greedily thus far. Scooting slowly out from under her I pull the covers up so there is no loss of warmth, hearing her dreamy objections regardless of how quick I am. Heading for the kitchen I would pull out supplies for breakfast, then rummage in the drawers for supplies to figure out a plan. Pulling my hair back I would write a few ideas down, trying my best to brainstorm with myself as I pull together some waffle mix and crush some berries to top it. Licking my lips I pull out some potatoes and turn on the stove, the waffle iron plugged in right next to it. Once I've got everything cooked and the coffee ready I move to the room, it's got to be almost ten at this point I figured Kimmie for an early riser. I figured wrong as I push the door open and find her cuddled deep in the blankets, my first instinct to leave her be. My second one is to rip the blankets right off of her, having siblings will do that to you, but instead I lean down and press a kiss to her forehead, "Princess, breakfast is ready, hurry up before it gets cold." I see her smile, and watch as her eyes slowly open and focus on me, "Coffee?" She whispers, her voice still heavy from sleep, "Yes, coffee is ready, now come on." Turning on my heel I would head back, making myself a plate and sitting before I see her push through the door. Chuckling softly I tuck my hair behind my ear and pour some syrup across the waffles and bacon, avoiding the hashbrowns entirely. Digging in I look up to find her eyeing my list, coffee in hand, sipping lightly as her eyes scroll down it, "You intend on finding them and then destroying the idols? Or just finding and destroying them? Wouldn't you prefer to destroy the idols and put them behind bars?" She looks up at me and I swallow the food in my mouth before speaking, "No, what they've done to me deserves such a vengeance, and I'm sure once he realizes I'm not there anymore he will go into hiding, Fukushima that is, I want to destroy the idols simply because I don't think someone named Monkey Fist deserves any sort of power." She doesn't even giggle at my attempt to joke, she makes her plate in silence and comes to sit right next to me, scooting the chair a bit closer than I'm accustom to, "So what if I say I don't want you to hurt them?" She tries, not looking at me as she already has her prediction of the answer. I tilt my head and look only from the sides of my eyes at her, quickly putting my gaze back my food as I take another bite. Thinking on it a minute I would sigh, "I would say I don't think that's very fair." I don't want to get angry, I don't feel angry yet, but I know it will come if this continues the way I think it will. She takes a moment, chewing her food and choosing her words, slowly letting them fall from her lips, "Why wouldn't that be fair? You know on the good side-..." I lift my head slowly but interrupt with a vigor, "I'm not on the good side." I see her bite her lip, her eyes closing for a moment, "I know... but you know if you were to be... even for a little while, it would make all of this much easier." Clearing my throat I would push my fork into a piece of bacon, letting the excess syrup drip from it, "And if I don't choose to be?" I dare ask, looking right at her only to find she is looking right at me, "Then I will have to stop you..." She breathes, my eyebrow shooting up as I analyze what she's said. My initial reaction is to banter with her, but I know this is more serious than that, so I take a deep breath and shake my head, "You wouldn't have to stop me, it's just one villain dealing with another, should you look the other way it wouldn't be anything different then the normal background scenes of the life that is Kim Possible." I don't think she took that well, it was in jest but she has tensed and that glare is making me shiver, "What is that supposed to mean?" She crosses her arms over her chest and now I know I'm in trouble, "It just means the villain life has never been candy coated, we all hate each other, and we all fight all the time, just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen." She growls low in her throat, "My life is NOT candy coated!" Way to hear only what you want to Pumpkin, "And you have no right to come in here and assume it is, you know nothing about me, Shego. You don't even want this to continue do you, calling yourself a villain like it shouldn't even bother me, I'm Kim Possible, fighter of villains is literally in the title, why is this so hard for you to understand?" I clear my throat again, brows furrowing together slowly, "I didn't realize it meant so much to you, had you told me I would have rectified the situation, but you don't speak of those things to me." I try to keep my cool, my head swimming in different directions, "Also you knew what you signed up for when you pursued me, for all I know you're just the curious innocent, why would I drop my career when I don't even know what you really want from me at this point?" This causes her mouth to drop open, her red headed temper getting the better of her quite quickly, "Signed up for? Well please let me know how to get out of that contract." She bites the words out, arms still crossed as she gets up and moves to her room, door slamming shut before I can get anything else out. With a heavy sigh I look down at my empty plate, "Suppose I'll be going it alone then." Is all I murmur as I get up and collect the dishes.
How could she?! Telling me my life is candy coated... maybe it wasn't in those words and maybe it wasn't directed in the way I took it but still! She should know better than to tease me like that, I don't take such things so lightly. My heart and my head struggle to find a compromise, on one hand I might be a little sensitive, on the other she might be a little insensitive. Shoving my face into my pillow I scream as loud as I can, letting the irritation sweep over me and out of my body. Perhaps I shouldn't have let her teasing get to me, she does it all the time and she doesn't ever mean it to hurt me, merely challenge me. Was she challenging me? No, she meant it as a joke and I took it the wrong way. I... took it the wrong way... My mind snaps into focus and I turn my face from the pillow, realizing I've been laying here for a good twenty minutes now while my thoughts rain down on me. I don't move, I don't want to, it's hard to admit you've done something you shouldn't have, but I am the one who didn't even communicate with her that it bothered me... but she's the one who pushed it! I sigh, letting my body relax into the blankets, sleep becoming my friend as the energy rush leaves my body.
When my eyes open again I no longer see the sunlight, body shooting straight up as I look around. Once I recognize there are no current threats I would let myself yawn and rub at my eyes. Looking around I see someone has drawn the curtains so the sunlight doesn't pour onto my face, the blankets were tucked up to my shoulders and I spy a note atop the nightstand next to the bed. Getting up I would snatch the note, moving to slide the curtains back, the clock says I've been asleep a couple of hours, perhaps Shego took a nap too and now we can talk. Pulling the paper apart I would read it slowly:
Princess,
This might come as a shock to you but I was only kidding about what I said at breakfast, I'm sorry if you took offence, I didn't mean for it to go that way. As far as letting you out of the contract you so willingly signed I henceforth will no longer claim you as mine, that was very short lived was it not? But perhaps a piece of advice for your next crusade: Communication is definitely key, without it there can hardly be an understanding between two lovers.
Always,
S
My mind implodes, dropping the paper I run out of the room and straight into the kitchen, the completely spotless kitchen. Breathing is getting harder as I sprint to her designated room, the door flying open as I shove through and find nothing, not a single spec of evidence that Shego was even here. Turning back I continue to run and check every single room the house has given me, before I burst through the back doors and am blinded by the sun. My hands go up to my eyes and I squint towards the beach, finding nothing once again. I feel my lips pull into a deep frown and my chest tightens even further, alas I'm not one to cry so instead I sprint to my room and yank on some of my mission clothes, calling Wade just as I get done pulling my hair back, "Sup, Kim, everything alright? Dr. Director said you were to be left alone for this week and I didn't know..." I cut him off with a wave of my hand, "Wade, I'm alright I promise, I just wanted to figure things out with Shego, and be left alone while I did it." He nods firmly, a look of concern flashing across his face, "And the verdict?" He tentatively asks, to which my frown returns, "I chased her off, if you can believe that, but right now I need you to find Monkey Fist and Fukushima, if they are in different locations I need Fukushima first." Always the reliable one his hands are a blur across the keyboard, and only moments after that he has an answer for me, "His coordinates say he's at Mount Ontake in Japan, but Kim... if Shego is with you tell her to be very careful, for all they know it's an active site and one plasma ball in the wrong place can easily set it off again. I have a link to some footage of him at the base... here we go." Upon playing the video I would see Fukushima, looking over his shoulder, then getting this terrified glint in his eye, turning to sprint away. Only a second later do you see a green and black blur chasing after him, "So... I'm guessing she's not with you?" Wade says after the clip is over, to which Kim shakes her head, "Like I said I chased her off, got a little upset and said some things I shouldn't have." The boy nods sympathetically, "Well by the looks of it you've got all of half an hour to get there before he is totally obliterated." He grins at that, remembering the way he had treated Ron, "The jet is on it's way to you." He adds as an afterthought, "Thanks Wade, you rock." I smile and hang up, sliding the Kimmunicator into my pocket. It beeps after a bit, and I run outside with it in my hand, jumping up into the jet. Looking to the message as we take off my brows would press together, -The locations of Monkey Fist are with DNAmy's crew at her lair, but further tampering with security cameras says he is still trapped in the stone you guys left him in, does that help?- I would let my fingers message him back, -If he is then this is all Fukushima's doing, but why would he lie to Shego about helping her control her powers like that?- Wade doesn't have an answer, -I will look into it- is all that's returned. Pressing the object back into my pocket I would let my head rest back, eyes closing as I wait for the jet to take me to her.
He honestly thinks I'm still sitting in a cabin thousands of miles away... sitting there enjoying his meal on his own. I so am going to mess with him right now... but how can I do that. Carefully I lift my hand, taking a deep breath and slowly letting it out. My control has the desired effect, his bowl heating up to the point of boiling right in front of him. He panics and jumps back as the broth bubbles over almost into his lap. Yelling in Japanese he would take another step back and look around, unable to spy me under my cover of the stall next to his. He doesn't pay, throwing a hand up as he storms off, I'm quick to follow. I must be quiet enough for he doesn't bother to look around again, giving me the perfect opportunity. My hand lifts and ignites, throwing a plasma ball at an angle, letting it harmlessly move into the sky, but it's low enough he would be able to see it. I see him tense, turning slowly as he lips the words 'Oh shit' as he spies me yanking off my black cloak. The crowd around me gives pause, probably from the plasma ball, but it doesn't bother me. He is swift to turn around and run, I count slowly, "One... two... two and a half..." And like that I'm gone, sprinting towards him as he heads for the base of the mountain. I know his plan, I went to see Monkey Fist before so recklessly coming after him. Turns out the old man is still stuck in stone, DNAmy offering information on Fukushima coming to try and break him out, speaking about some sort of Jade Idols in the mountain that gave powers greater than the ones Kimmie destroyed, that seems so long ago. I slow only a little at the thought of her, my heart panging hard in my chest but not because of the current workout. She doesn't want this anymore then she does not have to have it, I will find my own way, but right now I have some revenge to serve, coldly, ah haha I'm funny. He knows I'm gaining ground as he looks back and shrieks, trying to get up the side of the mountain and into some sort of man made cavern, I say man made because the walls are no longer stone after entering, but metal. I'm nearly upon him after his stumbling into here and my plasma ignites, filling the entire tunnel with an eery green light. Grinning maliciously I would hook my foot in front of his, kicking both feet out from under him so he hits the ground and skids to a halt. My plasma gets brighter and brighter, his voice echoing in the now silent space, "Don't kill me please! I didn't know what else to do!" I growl at this, one hand going out but still steaming as I reach down and pick him up by the collar of his shirt, "Lying was your first mistake, if you wanted your stupid idols all you had to do was ask, but now that you've sufficiently pissed me off you won't get them, and you just might die." His eyes widen and he tries to fight me, it's a comical effort as he can't even touch my hands without getting burnt. Lifting him up I would simply shove forward letting him crumple against the wall, and sink to the ground. It's easy to defeat those taken by surprise, but I don't leave him there. Grabbing him up and hoisting him over my shoulder I would take off to the end of the tunnel, which is lit by torches as the metal has finally stopped and it goes back to the hard dirt of the mountain. Letting him fall to the floor I run my fingers along the wall, a large stone centered inside of it. Reading the text carved into it I would tilt my head, "Only those already possessing the power of the stars may open the crypt to powers beyond." Setting my hand against it I would flare my plasma slowly, the words lighting up underneath my touch. When the border surrounding the plate is filled with my light it would jerk back, pressing itself in before a larger portion pulls apart to reveal a large room. Reaching down I grasp Fukushima's arm, dragging him inside slowly. Reaching back I would pull out some zip ties, putting his wrists behind his back and his ankles together without incident. Pressing forward I would flare my plasma to light the room, in turn about fifteen feet in front of me, four Jade Idols light up with me. My lips press into a frown, my predicament all to obvious, do I take the idols power, risk the unknown. I was never one to shy away from risk or challenge, but regardless of what has happened up to now I don't want to stop trying just yet. Lifting my hands I would stare at them, a harsh cough turning my attention to Fukushima. He looks up and gapes at the room, trying to roll around as he screams, "The power is mine! Don't you touch those with your worthless hands!" I would grin, my choice made for me, I see the horror on his face as my plasma builds in my hands, bigger and bigger, until it's to bright to even look at. Sending it careening towards the idols I grin, "Nooooo!" He cries out, the idols broken and flickering on the floor. Walking up I make sure to gather them together and put them on the floor next to him, grabbing a wire and stringing him up by his ankles from the ceiling, lifting him far out of reach. Turning to the exit I would sprint all the way to the end, calling for my jet and taking off quickly so I don't run into who I know is coming.
Following the path from the camera I would sprint towards the mountain, I swear I see someone coming out of a cavern, but just like that they are gone. This only drives me to go faster, and once I make it there I'm quite out of breath. Looking into the dark cavern I would hesitate, this feels like a trap, but if someone was just leaving then perhaps it's safer than I originally think, "You stupid woman! I can't believe you did this!" Fukushima's voice echoes out of the dark and I silently thank the sky that she didn't kill him. Taking a flashlight I would walk inside, coming to a large opening made of dirt and entering slowly, "Who is there?" the man in question is wriggling in his binds but getting nowhere, "Kim Possible! Get me down now! I need to fix those idols!" Jutting his head towards the ground I would spy a pile of dust pretty much, tilting my head, "She destroyed them! That bitch destroyed them!" I shake my head and move back to the tunnel, calling GJ and giving them the coordinates to clean up and take him to jail, "So you didn't kill him after all... now where did you go..." I pull my Kimmunicator out, "Wade do you have any hits on Shego? She took off before I could get to her, she literally pulled a good guy move and destroyed the bad idols and caught the bad guy WITHOUT hurting him to badly." Wade's eyes widened, "Perhaps you're effecting her more than you think, Kim." He chuckles when I stick my tongue out at him, fingers flying as usual, "Seems the only thing she has said anywhere is on Drakkens EvilBook, she said she was going on vacation, to which he started yelling at her that he hasn't seen her in days and she had better come visit before she goes, there is no response after that." He looks to the screen and shrugs, "You could try his new lair real quick if you want, I can send the coordinates and you can be there in a little while." I nod firmly and smile, "Thanks Wade, you've been a real lifesaver lately." He mocks a salute and hangs up, my legs carrying me to the jet as I chase her around the world.
