Disclaimer: I don't own a thing about the KP Universe. However, I do claim ownership to Dr. Damien Fredrickson, Tori, Jessica, and Kenny Parker.
A/N: Hello world!
I know this installment is a bit shorter than the past few chapters, but I needed to end it with how I ended it. I couldn't continue from there, or else I would have kept going for a while, so I cut it off a bit short.
Anyway, here ya'll go.

Kenny followed Anne to Kim's room. Neither one said a word. Anne was curious as to what information the mysterious man could have. Kenny was anxious to see the injured women.
Anne stopped, and turned around to face the young man. "Tell me one reason why I should let you see my daughter and Shego." She was rather suspicious of Kenny.
Kenny sighed, and scratched his head idly. "Look, Dr. Possible, I have information for you all. Whether you learn it is completely up to you."
She stared at him, confused. "Are you carrying any weapons?"
He nodded. "Yes. Three, to be exact. All concealed. There is a handgun in my jacket, and two knives hidden in my sleeve and boot. None of them will be used on anyone in this hospital." He stared at her, trying to convey his seriousness. "I am not the enemy, Dr. Possible."
She hesitated, every fiber of common sense in her telling her to not trust this man. But, in her heart, she found that she did. "Fine." She turned back around, and opened the door in front of her.
Both women looked up as they heard the door open. Shego unconsciously reached out for Kim's hand, grasping it in her own.
Anne and Kenny walked inside. Kenny closed the door behind them.
Shego looked at him, and gasped, letting go of Kim's hand. She stood up, and threw her arms around Kenny, squeezing him tightly. "Kenny!"
"Hey Sara." He hugged her back just as hard, a smile growing on his face. "Nice to see you too."
Kim looked at her mother, who looked just as confused as she was. "Uh…"
Shego heard Kim, and let go of Kenny. "Oh yeah…sorry." She turned to Kim and Anne, her face red with embarrassment. "Kim, Dr. P, meet Kenny. Kenny, I guess you know who they are, right?" He nodded, his smile never leaving his face.
Kim stared at her lover, confusion evident on her face. "Uhm….nice to meet you Kenny…this is going to sound rude...but who the hell are you, and how does my girlfriend know you?"
Kenny looked at Shego, confused. "Girlfriend?"
"Yeah…" She looked at Kim, and sighed, sitting back down on the chair next to her girlfriend's bed. "This is Kenny…" She looked up at him. "What last name are you going by now?"
"Parker."
She gave him a funny look, but continued talking. "Kenny Parker. He's…a friend of mine. A business partner as well."
"Great. So you're saying there are two criminals in this room now?" Anne remarked bitterly.
Kenny pouted. "I'm not a criminal! I just participate in questionable activities!"
Anne snorted. "There's a difference?"
He pouted. "Yes…"
Shego coughed loudly, drawing the attention to her once more. "Anyway…like I was saying, he's my friend. I haven't seen him for a while though…" She turned to him. "Actually, I had heard you died."
He shook his head. "It was just a rumor. I had to lay low for a while."
"Oh…okay. So, what exactly are you doing here, Kenny?"
His smile faded away, and he scratched his head. "Oh…uh…"
"He said he has some information for us." Anne interjected, leaning against the wall, arms crossed.
"Information?" Kim asked, looking up at the young man. He nodded slowly.
"Yeah….information." He sighed. "We should probably all sit down. This could take a while."
Marvin heard the front door open, but he didn't even bother looking up. He knew who it was.
"Where are the twins?" Hector asked, walking past his brother, and into the kitchen. Marvin didn't look away from the television as he answered. "In bed. Which is where we should all be."
"Oh, shut up." Betty said, plopping herself down on the couch, staying on the opposite side of where Marvin sat. He looked up at her, and couldn't help but smirk.
"What the hell happened to you? Decide that your face just wasn't ugly enough as it was?"
She glared at him, hatred in her heart. "No, jackass. Your sister did it."
His eyebrows shot up. "Shego? Why?"
"None of your business." Hector said, walking back into the living room. He handed ice to Betty, and sat down in a recliner, sipping on a glass of whiskey.
"What in the bloody hell did you two do?" Marvin demanded, staring them down.
"Again. None of your business." Hector replied, tossing back the rest of the whiskey.
Marvin stood up, and glared at his siblings. "If you hurt Sara…"
"Oh, go away Marvin. Don't you have a mirror to look into, or something?" Betty said lazily, wincing as she pressed the ice against her face and neck.
He growled softly, feeling himself growing taller. "I will find out what you did. And I will kick your fucking asses if I find that Sara is hurt." He walked away from them, muttering to himself.
Betty looked over at Hector. "Really think he'll find out?"
Hector shrugged, grabbing the television remote. "Who knows? I doubt it though. He'll walk by a mirror and forget that he even HAS a sister. That's what always happens. And even if he does, what does it matter? By that time, it will be too late to stop us."
"Okay…" Betty said, looking at the television, uneasiness eating at her heart. "At least…at least Shego and Kim don't know about everything…"
Hector smiled. "Yes."
Kenny sat down across from Kim, Shego, and Anne, and took a deep breath. "I received some information from a guy I know. Don't ask who, I can't tell you. But, I can tell you that he works with some of the best intelligence agencies in the world. Anyway, apparently, Global Justice has been up to some…questionable activities of their own lately."
"We know. They have been trying to destroy Shego and myself." Kim interjected.
Kenny shook his head. "While that is true….that's not nearly all of it." He looked over at Shego. "You remember when GJ almost caught us in Paris?"
Shego nodded slowly, remembering. "Yeah…"
"We never questioned why they were there in the first place. They weren't there to catch us; at least, that wasn't their original plan. In actuality, they were there to buy a doomsday device from Professor Dementor, before shipping him off to jail."
Anne cocked her eyebrow. "A doomsday device? What the hell would Global Justice want with something like that?"
Kenny shook his head, raising a hand. "Just let me finish. That device wasn't the only one. According to my friend, GJ has been acquiring devices of a similar nature for the past few years. But, only certain people know about it. I guarantee you that if you asked just any old GJ agent, like your friend Fredrickson, they wouldn't have a clue about any of it. Only a handful of people know."
"But why?" Kim looked at Kenny, skepticism shining in her eyes. "I agree with my mom. What would GJ want with stuff like that?"
Kenny pointed at Shego. "Ask her. It looks like she's figured it out."
All eyes in the room turned to the pale woman, who looked even paler than usual. She looked up at them, fear in her expression. "I worked with evil geniuses for many years. Most of their doomsday devices would have actually worked…if Kimmie hadn't stopped them before they could use them." She looked at Kim. "If GJ really has all of those devices…it means that they could doom us all at the push of a button. Imagine that kind of power. They could easily dictate the world through the use of threats…or even demonstrations." She looked away from them all, her heart plummeting. "Betty has enough firepower to take over the world."
