Always with you.

A/N: Hey guys I am sorry that I have not updated in awhile. I have been busy with my exam studies and have been putting most of my efforts into passing them, Which is not the easiest thing to do lol. Anyways here is the next chapter. I hope that you all like it.

Chapter 12: Nothing is as it seems

Ron sat at the bottom of the stairs waiting for Kim and Shego to come down so that they could leave and talk about this somewhere else. He was guessing that is why Shego wanted to get them out of the house so badly. What other reason would she have? It would not surprise him if Betty had bugged the house. That woman was capable of almost anything.

Hearing someone coming down the stairs he stood and turned to see who it was. Kim's mother was walking down the stairs with a basket of laundry in her arms. He had often wondered why the possibles never got a maid or something like that. It was not like they didn't have the money or anything.

"Hello Ronald. What are you doing down here. I thought that you would be up stairs with Kimmie?"

"No I am just waiting for them..to come down."

She looked at him strangely.

"Don't you mean you are waiting for her to come down?"

"Oh, um. Rufus is up there with Kim. I am waiting for them to come down so we can go get something to eat. You know who I like to eat. He he."

"Okay...Can I ask you something?"

"Sure thing Mrs. P."

"Have you noticed something different about Kimmie. I have a feeling like she is not telling me something. She has been acting not like herself for a few days. Besides Betty Director called me today saying that I should keep an eye on Kim."

"I think that she is just growing up. Wonder what GJ has to do with any of this."

"Well you make sure to tell me if you notice that she is acting strangely."

"Will do Mrs. P."

When she was gone again Ron sat back on the step. So that is what Shego was talking about she must have heard Kim's mom talking to Betty on the phone. There was something that her mom was not telling him. Did that mean that she was working with Betty? No that could not be it. Although Anne and Betty were friends back when they were in school, that would give them a certain trust.

"What has you looking so spooked Ron?"

Kim was standing behind him now. He turned to face her. He knew that he could not talk to her here if her mom was in fact working with GJ on this. She could not be trusted. Ron hated that he could not trust her because she was a good lady but that did not mean anything at this point. He was mainly concerned for Kim. If she was confronted by her mom and she tried to get her to stop all of this her knew that Kim would not and that would only drive a wedge between her and her mom. Kim had lost enough, she did not need to lose her family as well.

"Oh nothing KP. I was just wondering when we could get out of here. I am really hungry and I need food like now."

He knew that with her being his best friend for so long she would be able to tell that he was not telling her the truth. He really did not care about that he just wanted to get her out of there before any of Betty's cameras or bugs could catch Kim talking about something that they would be better off not knowing.

"Yeah sure. Lets head over to the bueno nacho so you can fill that stomach of yours."

They were now sitting in the booth that they always sat at. Ron had a huge 'naco' sitting in front of him that he was not touching. Kim knew there was something that he was not telling her then for sure. He never did not eat. Rufus was even refusing to eat.

"Okay Ron what is it? Don't say that it is nothing 'cause I know you and I know that there is something that you are not telling me."

"Kim I just don't want you to get hurt. I know what has been going on these past couple weeks has been hard on you. I...Kim its your mom. She is helping Betty."

Shego who was sitting beside Kim looked up at him with a smile. She didn't even have to tell him what she knew. He was getting pretty smart. That was a good thing. They were going to need all the smart that they could get their hands on if they wanted to beat Betty at her own game.

"She has bugs in the house. And I think that she told Kimmie's mom what happened when Kim payed he a little visit."

"Well your mom knows what you did to Betty, and the house is bugged."

Kim looked out the window. She could not even trust her own family. What kind of world was she is. Is that why she saved it all the time so people could not trust the ones that they loved. So that people could betray the ones that they loved? No that was not a world that she was fighting for anymore. The only thing that she was fighting for at this point was herself, Shego, and Ron. Of course Rufus as well.

"I didn't think that mom would do something like that. I mean your mother is supposed to be the one person in all the world that you can count on."

"I know Kim...But Betty has her ways and her and your mom go way back."

"I know Ron, but it still hurts to think that my own mother is working against me."

Shego put her arm around her shoulder in an attempt to comfort her. She knew that it could not be felt bu the younger girl but she felt the need to do it anyways. She always wanted to be there for Kim, and now that she could she was dead for crying out loud. What kind of world was that? She hated who or whatever was causing all of this. She wished that she could go back in time and stop Drakken from hurting either of them.

"Hey Ron. Do you think that it is possible to turn this all around. Maybe go back in time somehow and prevent it from happening?"

"I don't know. There is a possibility. I mean Drakken went back in time and messed with KP and I when we were in pre-K ."

"What are you talking about Ron?"

Kim the realized that he was talking to Shego. She must have fallowed them there. Where else would she go. It was not like anyone else could see her.

"Well get Kim in on this. Tell her that we are going to find a way to fix all of this."

"Kim...We are going to..."

Silence fallowed all around Shego. What on earth was going on. She looked around and found that the world was frozen around her.

"Ohh great. This must mean that I am goin' to get a little visit from the fuckin' people that caused all of this in the first place."

The man from the first time appeared in front of her and all she could do was glare at him. She wondered if she would be able to hit him. That would be a good thing about all of this. She might actually be able to hurt something.

"I would not advise you to try it Shego. I would be gone before you had the chance to blink."

"So what you can read my freakin' mind too?"

He smiled and took a seat across from here, beside Ron.

"No I just know what it means when you get that little smirk on your face."

"Oh."

"I am here to tell you that what you are planning to do is possible. However it is not something that I an allow to happen. You are this way for a reason Shego. We knew that the only way to get Kim to act the ways that she is right now is to kill the person that she loved."

"So I died so that you all could have your way?"

"That and so much more. We needed Kim here because we knew that she would be the only one that could bring down GJ."

"If you are so damned powerful why not do it yourselves?"

"It dose not work like that. We can see what happened, is happening and what will happen. We cannot do things to stop them ourselves. So we make a path for a person here on earth that we know will be able to do what we cannot. We knew that Kim would be strong enough to pull through this in the end."

"So you had Drakken kill me so that you could have your way with my Kimmie?"

"Yes we needed you dead."

"But not gone."

"Exactly. There is something that I need to ask you to do for me."

"Okay well You can ask but I am not sure that I am going to say yes."

"Oh once you hear what I have to say I think that you will change your mind."
