Chapter 12

--

A while after the nurse gave them their doses of pain killers, Kira began to grin like a goof again. Her pain killer having kicked in right after her last dose died out on her. Shego and Kim couldn't help but look at the teen funny because Kira looked like she was as high as a kite.

"Firebug, you looked like you're really doped up," Shego laughed, a crooked grin on her face.

Kira shrugged and answered, "I don't care cause I feel gooood."

A knock came to the door. The three turned and looked at the door. Shego was the first to respond.

"If it's the buffoon, he's not welcome," Shego quipped.

"Come in!" Kim called, glaring at Shego. Shego returned it by making a face.

The door opened and it was Ron…followed by some other people. He came in with Monique and Bonnie right behind him. The three went to Kim's bedside. They began asking questions about how she was doing and if Shego was being a pain in the ass.

Soon after the trio cleared the door a look of distaste crossed Shego's face. Kira recognized the look. 'Is it him?' she mouthed. Shego nodded. Kira hissed.

Hego, Mego, and the Wegos entered the room and circled Shego's bed. Shego frowned deeply as Hego began talking adamantly about her rejoining the team after what she had just done to save Middleton. Kira watched and wondered how the hell they allowed this many people in one hospital room at one time. Kira was bummed though; it seemed that no one noticed that she was there.

Rufus poked his head out of Ron's pocket. He surveyed the room and spotted Kira in her hospital bed. He beamed and hopped out of his owner's pocket. He scuttled across the floor, up the bedpost, and onto the bed. He jumped up onto Kira's stomach and began waving enthusiastically, being very happy to see her.

Kira smiled at Rufus. Glad that someone took notice to her being in the room.

"Hey little dude." Kira held up her hand for a high five. Rufus squeaked and gave her a high five.

Rufus gave her a curious look and poked her cast. Kira looked at him and smiled a little. She told him her injuries. He looked rather surprised, knowing that no ordinary human could live through that kind of pain as easily as Kira made it look.

The Wegos turned around, bored with just sitting there and listening to Hego. They surveyed the room and immediately spotted Kira on the other side of the room. More beat up than the other two wear. The twins rushed over to her grinning.

"Kira!" They greeted joyfully.

"Hey Will, Wally," Kira smiled at her other favorite family members. She liked everyone in her family except Hego and her dead parents.

"You got banged-" Wally began.

"-up pretty good," Will finished

"Eh… No big deal. I'll be as good as new by the end of next week, if not sooner," Kira said rubbing Will's head.

"Glad to hear it," Mego said. He managed to go unnoticed for a good minute.

"Mike…Did you leave Hector with Shego…alone?" Kira asked, somewhat concerned.

Mego's eyes widened when he realized his mistake. A high pitch whine echoed through the small room. Mego turned to see Shego's foot to Hego's groin. Hego fell to the floor, holding his manhood. Shego readjusted herself on her bed and had a satisfied smirk on her face. Mego, Wegos, and Kira winced.

"My bad," Mego chuckled.

"When is he-"Wally spoke and shook his head.

"-going to learn," Will finished, mimicking his twin's actions.

"He's an arrogant ass. I don't think he'll ever learn," Kira sighed. "You better get him out of her before he loses the ability to reproduce."

"I think he lost that a long time ago," Mego joked. "We'll get him out of here before he gets to you."

"We'll see you later," The Wegos said and gave Kira hug, being careful not to bump anything that could hurt her.

Mego gave Kira a hug before he went to pull Hego up off the floor. Hego was about to protest when Kira hucked the pen at a pressure point, knocking him out.

"Thanks," Mego smirked. Wegos multiplied to help drag Hego out of the hospital.

Kira sighed and shook her head as the Wegos carried Hego above them out of the room.

Monique turned around to look at the rest of the room, since she hadn't yet. She finally noticed Kira lying in the bed across the room. "Whoa! What're you doing here, girl?" Monique asked.

Kira looked at Monique. Now she was wishing she could hide because she didn't know what she could say to Monique. "Uh…ummm…"

"Sorry to interrupt, but I would like to speak to these three alone, please." Dr. Director stepped into the room with an aura of professionalism and order.

Ron nodded and pulled Bonnie and Monique out of the room. Bonnie was just about to join Monique in questioning Kira when Ron pushed her out. When they were out of the room and the door shut behind them, Kira pumped her unbroken right arm with glee. She was relieved that she was able to escape questioning. Director watched the display and quirked an eyebrow at the girl.

Kira noticed Director looking at her curiously. "Sorry… Didn't really want to explain to them why I'm in here," Kira explained.

"I could tell them that it is highly classified… even thought it really isn't," Director offered.

A nervous grin appeared on Kira's face. "Please?" Kira asked hopefully.

Director nodded, "I will tell them. Now I would like to get down to business."

Director walked further into the room, toward the window. When she reached it, she turned around to face the room's occupants. She turned to Kira first.

"You are Black Dragon?" She asked.

"At your service," Kira answered with a bow of the head.

"Real name?" Director asked.

Kira looked at Shego for guidance. Shego nodded, giving her the go ahead. Kira nodded in return.

"Kira Ayden Gonvi," She answered in a level tone.

Director nodded, "You performed the theft of this very expensive, pearl dragon inlaid Gibson Les Paul guitar?" She held up a picture of the guitar.

"I did," Kira nodded.

"Would you like to explain how you got past the system and stole the guitar without leaving evidence?" Director asked

"I used a special mix to spray on the security's button pad. Then I used a black light to reenter the code to deactivate the system. I deactivated the system for the case by disconnecting the wires and picked the lock to the case. On my way out I reactivated the system," Kira explained like she was telling a three year old.

"How'd you get in?"

"The ducts," Kira laughed.

"And this guitar… What are you planning to do with it?" Director asked.

"Personal use," Kira answered.

"You don't plan to sell it?"

"Fuck no!" Kira growled.

Director was taken aback by the response. She blinked a couple times before responding, "Alright."

Shego watched the whole thing. The way Kira was handling Betty, she couldn't help but snicker.

"Well, I guess we're done with that part. Now, I've come to report that the ship wreckage has been collected. The planet of the ship's origin apologized for the captain's mistake. The captain was about to be discharged for mental problems when he fled and came here after Dr. Drakken did something to their ship. We've made peace with them." Director reported.

"Well that's great to hear," Kim beamed.

"Where did you put Drakken for his dumbass mistake?" Shego asked curiously.

"He is under GJ surveillance in a high security prison cell," Director informed.

"Good." The trio said in unison. Director smiled.

"I shall leave you three to rest. If anything changes, I will keep you posted." The Director nodded and strode from the room.

Before Director made it to the door, Shego spoke up in a smug tone, "Glad to see your trust has changed."

"Shego, I wouldn't push it," Kim warned.

Shego's smug look fell. She looked at Kim to find a serious face.

"Shay, don't push it, really. I mean we're in the clear now, don't ruin it for yourself," Kira warned.

"Fine," Shego sighed.

Director smirked, "Good day."

"Later," Kira said with a wave.

"Bye," Kim said. Shego grunted.

Kira reached for the nurse call button.

"What're you two doing?" Kim asked curiously.

"Just wait and see," Kira grinned, but then stopped.

"Don't have any on you," Shego laughed.

"Don't remind me," Kira groaned and laid back down.

"Don't have any what?" Kim asked.

"Cigarettes," Kira sighed.

"You smoke?" Kim asked.

"Not very often," Kira replied.

"You're so lucky that eye patch lady saved your butt from a boat load of question," Monique huffed as she walked in.

"Or I could've threaten you," Kira joked.

"With what? You're stuck in that bed," Bonnie asked with a smirk.

Kira lit her right hand. The other three gasped. Ron, Monique, and Bonnie stared at the black flame covering Kira's hand.

"What in the world?" Bonnie stuttered.

"How?" Monique gasped.

"Look over here," Shego said.

Bonnie and Monique turned to see Shego light her hands. They looked between the two.

"How do you do that?"

"Go powers. We were hit by the rainbow comet," Shego explained as she doused her plasma.

"But how come Kira's doesn't look like she was?" Ron asked.

"If you look closely I have a grey pigment in my skin. My hair was originally dirty blond till the comet. I had a tan too. Now I don't even come close," Kira said, dousing her flame as well.

They looked between Kira and Shego. Sadness laced their gazes. Kira stared at her hand.

"But we've learned to live with it. We're happy just to have survived," Shego said, staring at her hand as well.

"There have been ups and downs to this but here we are," Kira spoke and clenched her fist.

"Survivors, through and through," Shego laughed.

Kira laughed, "You make us sound like cockroaches, Cuz."

"You guys aren't cockroaches," Kim spoke softly but firmly.

"It was a metaphor, princess," Shego sighed.

Kira laughed, "Should we see if we can survive an atomic bomb too?"

"Let's not push it, Firebug," Shego smirked.

"I have to agree with her," Bonnie motioning to Shego.

"We don't want to see how much it takes to kill you. We want you guys alive and kickin'." Monique said.

"Thanks guys," Kira smiled.

A knock came to the door…
