Marvin walked into his room, stopping for a moment to check out his reflection in his full-body mirror. A man had to look good, didn't he? He frowned as he saw his hair sticking up in the back.

With a sigh, he turned away from the mirror, and headed to do what he came up there to do. Find out what the hell happened to Shego.

He grabbed his cell phone, and flipped it open. He could feel his heart start to race, and he suddenly became rather nervous. He hadn't even spoken to his sister for over two years….would she even pick up her phone. Could she even pick up her phone?...

He winced, but opened up his contact list anyway, scrolling down to her name. He hesitated before pressing the call button, holding the phone up to his ear.


All eyes in the room were staring at Shego. No one said a word. They were all too shocked.

Anne finally decided to break the silence. "Enough….to take over the world?"

Kenny nodded before Shego could answer. "Yes. Easily. With the amount of weapons she has stockpiled, she could destroy the planet with the press of a button or two."

"But…but why? Why would Dr. Director want to take over the world?" Kim asked timidly.

Kenny shrugged. "Why not? It would give her a lot of power. If I've learned anything in my life, it's that people like power. She is no different."

Everyone sat and thought about that. It was a lot to take in. But then, the silence was broken by the ringing of a cell phone. Every eye turned on Shego once more. Her expression was one of pure confusion. She reached into her pocket, and pulled out the ringing phone. She looked at the name on the screen, and frowned. "I'll be right back." She stood up, and exited the room, closing the door behind her.


Marvin heard the ringing in his ear, and felt beads of sweat appear on his skin. He really was nervous about what would happen.

"Hello?" He heard in his ear as the woman on the other line finally answered. He felt his voice catch in his throat.

"Hello?" He heard again, more irritably now. He swallowed hard, and answered.

"Hey, Sara."


Shego paced the hallway, holding her phone up to her ear. "Marvin? What do you want?"

"To make sure that you're okay." Came the reply. For the first time in her life, Shego could swear that Marvin sounded concerned about someone other than himself. She was shocked, to say the least.

"What do you mean, to make sure that I'm okay?" She asked, her voice dangerously low. She could swear that she heard a gulp on the other end.

"I…was worried. Bets and Hector came home, and were talking about how you had hurt them…I was worried that they had done something to you."

Shego sighed, sliding down to the floor, back against the wall. "So, they both are up and around, huh? Great…"

"Sara, what's going on?"

"A lot, little brother. A lot."


Marvin stared at the ceiling as he listened to his sister. "So, you're saying that they tried to kill you?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying, Marvin. They tried to kill me and Princess. Almost succeeded too. Betty shot Kim through the chest, and me in the shoulder. She's really fucking lucky that she didn't kill us…"

"I..can't believe that…"

"Really?"

He sighed. "No…I can totally believe that. All of it." He covered his eyes with his arm. "God, Sara, I'm so sorry…I should have known…I should have stopped them…"

"Oh, stop, Marvin. You didn't know. It wasn't your fault."

"I still feel guilty…" He muttered, closing his eyes. "Anyway, what do we do, Sara?"

"Just…keep an eye on them, okay? Keep me updated on what they do. Can you do that? Oh…and don't tell the twins. They're too young."

"I can do that." He said. "But…"

"No buts. I have to go now, Marvin. Kimmie and the rest have been waiting a while. Take care of yourself, okay?"

"O…okay." He said, biting his lip, hesitating. "Sara?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

Silence for a moment. "I love you too, baby brother. Take care." The line went dead in his hand, and he stared at his phone for a few moments. The conversation he just had ran through his head like a broken record, and he felt sick. How could Betty and Hector…his own flesh and blood…do that to their own sister? He always had known that they were a bit…insane…but he never would have thought that they would ever go THAT far…

"That's bullshit and you know it.." he muttered to himself. "You knew. You knew deep down."

It took all of his willpower to not jump out of his bed, wake the twins, and run far away from Go Tower. But, he had promised Shego that he would stay…promised that he would keep her posted on what his siblings were up to. He owed it to her to do that, as much as he hated to admit it. He owed Shego a lot. She had always been there for him…now it was time to be there for her.


Everyone looked up as the door opened, and Shego walked back inside. She closed the door once again, and took her seat next to Kim's bed once more. No one asked who she had been talking to, and she was thankful for that. Her mind was still reeling from it anyway.

Kim grasped her hand, squeezing it reassuringly. Shego looked down at her, and smiled weakly. "So, where were we?"

"Discussing the fact that Dr. Director and company are planning on taking over the world…" Anne said quietly, watching her daughter and the pale green woman exchange loving glances. Her heart ached for them. She wasn't really sure how she felt about their relationship; she never had thought that her daughter would be….a lesbian. But…since she didn't really have a say in it…she was sort of happy for them. Kim needed someone in her life, and even though Shego had a lot of faults, Anne couldn't deny that she obviously loved Kim. And she supposed that that was what really mattered.

Kenny coughed softly before looking at the three women. "This whole situation is bad. Like, really, really bad. You guys know that, right?"

They all nodded silently. Kim's eyes were starting to droop, but she fought to keep them open. Shego noticed this, and shook her head. "Guys, we're going to have to continue this later. I know Princess and I need some rest, and I'm sure you two do too."

Anne nodded, noticing her daughter's obvious exhaustion. "Yeah." She turned to Kenny. "Do you have a place to stay?"

He shook his head.

"You can stay in one of the extra rooms, okay? I'll make sure you're not interrupted. I'll camp out in my office."

"Can I stay with Kimmie?" Shego asked softly, her voice pleading for Doctor Possible to say yes. Anne turned to look at the two women. Kim gave her a small puppy-dog pout, and she smiled. "Of course, Shego."

The two young women smiled widely, and looked at each other, love shining in their eyes. Anne and Kenny both rolled their eyes, walking out of the room, leaving the two women alone.


Kim sighed, letting her head hit her pillow. She had been hiding her exhaustion and pain for so long, and she could finally let it go. Shego watched her, concern shining in her eyes.

"You okay, Pumpkin?" She asked softly, stroking a lock of red hair behind her lover's ear.

"It hurts." Kim whispered, looking up at the older woman, pain shining in her eyes.

"I know, honey. I know. You need to sleep, Kimmie."

"I know…" She looked away, sadness filling her heart. "I'm afraid to."

"What?" Shego said, looking at the young woman with concern. "Why?"

"I'm afraid….I'm afraid that I'll never wake up." She felt a tear slide down her cheek as she said the words.

Shego felt a lump form in her throat. "Kimmie…you're fine. You're going to wake up. Trust me, okay?"

Kim turned her head so that she was looking at Shego once more. "Do you promise?"

Shego nodded. "I promise."

Kim smiled, her eyes finally closing. "I love you, Sara."

"I love you too, Princess."

They were both asleep in just a few minutes, hands still clasped together.
