Identity Thief
Chapter 5
Tricks Without Treats
It was the crack of dawn when Marsha Possible came down the stairs to see Shego out of the couch and performing Tai Chi next to the living room window where the morning sunlight was pouring in. Despite her injuries, Shego felt it was the only thing she could do to keep from going out of her mind while being in her foe's home. "You should be lying on the couch," said the brain surgeon of the Possible family.
Shego did not even turn her head and continued her exercise. "I should be hunting down the freak that did this to me," she said indifferently.
"Not in your condition," Marsha said, heading toward the kitchen. "Now lay back down, I'll make you some breakfast."
Shego sighed and rubbed her wounded shoulder. "Just get me some coffee and I'll relax for a while." Shego sat back down on the couch and in a little while, Marsha came back from the kitchen with a pot of coffee and two cups. "Don't worry, I drink my coffee black."
Marsha Possible smiled and filled the two cups, giving one to Shego. "I drank black coffee when I had to cram the night before a test when I was in college. Of course, this was before Red Bull was keeping teenagers buzzed for hours on end with just a sip."
Kim slammed her hand blindly on the alarm clock at 7 in the morning when it was drilling it's annoying beeping into her ears, not much in the mood for school after what happened last night. With a groan she crawled out from under her sheets; her hair a mess, her face contorted in exhaustion as she made her way into the bathroom. A splash of water in the face and a few quick brush strokes, Kim looked like Kim again but she still wasn't much in the mood for school. As she brushed her teeth, she pulled her Kimmunicator out of its charging station and started it up. When Wade's face appeared, she spat out the fluoride goo from her mouth and toweled her lips dry. "Morning Wade," she said.
Wade finished off a plate of scrambled eggs before returning Kim's salutations. "Morning Kim, sleep well?" he asked.
Kim gave an annoyed pout and walked out the bathroom. "No, and I'm not going to have much of a good day either with that freak of nature somewhere stomping around town," she said, referring to, of course, Kigo. "You found anything that might be her?"
Wade shook his head in the negative. "Sorry Kim, I guess she's laying low since she's missing an arm."
Kim looked at the severed reptilian which still found it's resting place on top her dresser, slowly losing it's former pale olive green to just a dead grey. "I don't know, she didn't seem too upset about losing it. Well, I'm going to school so give me a ring when you find something." Wade gave a thumbs-up and the image faded to black. Kim slipped into a pair of blue jeans and a simple belly shirt and headed downstairs. Knowing Ron, he would be there in a few minutes so it'll give her time to relax. But it was hard to relax when she saw her mom laughing and chatting it up with, of all people, Shego. "Mom! What are you doing?"
Her mother turned her head toward her and smiled. "Oh, I'm just having a cup of coffee with Shego dear," she said casually.
Kim's jaw dropped. "Mom, she's a criminal!"
Shego took her final sip of coffee, set the cup down on the china saucer, and stood up. "Your mom is a big girl and we have bigger problems," she said.
Kim crossed her arms looking aloof. "What do you mean 'we'?"
"Kigo, remember? She wants both of us taking dirt naps just because Dementor used our DNA to make that freak. And I'm not going to sit around here like a big target so it's time we talked about a plan."
Kim raised an eyebrow. "We again?"
Shego growled but stopped to lean to one side when a shot of pain went through her. "Look, I don't like you either and if I was in any better condition I would hunt down that psycho myself then come back to whip your cheerleading ass all across town. But I'm not really what you call battle ready and you have no idea how tough she is. Separate we're easy targets but maybe if we stick together, she might think twice about picking a fight."
Kim couldn't give any more snippy remarks after that, Shego was dead on that time. "Ok, but how are we going to stick together?" she asked.
At this time Ron made his way through the front door and heard this come from Marsha Possible's lips, "Why don't you and Shego go to school together?" Before either of the two nemeses could answer, they both turn toward the door when Ron collapsed on the floor.
Ron woke up on the couch and shook his head. He looked up and smiled when he saw Kim looking down at him with concern. "Oh hey KP," he said softly, still a little woozy, "I thought I heard something like Shego coming to school with you."
Shego hurried downstairs wearing plain white buttoned dress shirt that Kim's father wore back in his college days, her mother's simple black flats on her feet, and a pair of black leather pants Kim has been saving for the right occasion. "Hey!" Kim cried out seeing her. "Those are my pants!"
Ron looked upon the infamous criminal with a stupefied look. "Shego is coming to Middleton High with us?" he asked with slight fear in his voice.
Shego grunted in frustration as she tried to button her sleeves closed. "It's not like this idea tickles me pink either, spaz," Shego said, not much caring to address Ron properly. "I can't believe I have to leave my jumpsuit in Possible's house but Marsha says I have to blend in for just today."
Kim looked even more upset. "You're calling my mother by her first name now?" she asked as if Shego insulted her by being so close to her family.
Shego rolled her eyes and headed for the door. "Let's just get this over with. I feel like killing someone the longer I'm with you."
And so the school day began, Ron and Kim was hanging around her locker with Wade on her locker computer screen while Shego hanged around outside the gym with a beeper on her waist ready to ring if Kim spotted Kigo. But Shego knew better; if Kim found Kigo, she'd tried to fight her alone without her help. But hanging around Kimmie didn't exactly make her top 10 list of fun things to do. She found a red yo-yo in the corner of Kim's closet while looking for pants so she spent her time outside the gym by playing with it. It was about lunch time when she saw some jock looking punks circle around someone. When she stepped toward them for a closer look, it looked like a goth chick with purple hair. "Don't you meat heads have anything better to do?" the goth asked with a pissed voice.
Brick Flagg cracked his knuckles. "You have a lot of balls for someone who looks like a chick. But no girl would ever put red paint Brick's cleats," he said angrily.
The girl gave a smug smirk regardless of her current surroundings. "Hey, serves you right for picking on the chess club caveman."
It looked like Brick Flagg was going to show how little he respects the rule about hitting girls before he lets out a pain-filled yelp when Shego struck the back of his head with the yo-yo. Brick and his company turned around to see Shego rolling the yo-yo up and down casually. "You boys need a little attitude adjustments," she said with a slight snicker. The boys advanced toward her but Brick was stopped short as Shego popped him in the nose with a quick forward roll of the yo-yo. "Ha, big men, I can beat you all down with this cheap little thing," before letting out a mocking laugh.
One of Brick's teammates rushed toward Shego only to have his left ankles wrapped up in the yo-yo's string. "What the hell is that going to do?" he asked.
Shego grinned. "This," she said, pulling her arm back and dragging the boy down to the ground. With a snap of her wrist, the yo-yo returned to her hand and she did a full around the world spin over her head when the rest of them came at her, smacking them all on the face. "Geez, I'm badly injured and I took out 5 of you with a kid's toy. You boys must really be a bunch of pussies." The boys looked at her with hate filled faces and she held out the yo-yo. "You boys can either run or see how much more dangerous I am without the yo-yo," she said, her hand glowing a deadly green as she crushed the yo-yo to dust.
The boys nearly pissed in their jock straps before they ran as far away as they can from their olive skinned attacker. Shego turned down her lights and patted her hands clean before looking at the goth girl. "Middleton has goths?" she asked. "And here I was thinking this place was a boring, normal suburb."
"Yeah, well it's my choice," the girl said, sounding indifferent to her savior.
Shego let out an amused laugh before her beeper went off. "Well, my annoying foe is beeping me which means she found the reptilian clone comprised of both our DNA who tried to kill me last night. You keep on being yourself and I'll probably see you later," Shego said, waving her hand farewell as she walked off. The goth girl shook her head with a slight smile and went on her way.
Kim munched on her energy bar as Wade came on her Kimmunicator screen. "Oh hey Wade, what up? Is this about Kigo?" she asked.
Wade took a deep breath and looked into the camera. "Bad news Kim, you're not going to like what you see. I'm going to stream you the video Kigo just sent to the site's email a few minutes ago ok?"
Kim gritted her teeth slightly but kept her cool. "She's just asking to get her ass kicked, play it Wade."
Wade began the video taped with a cheap web cam on a tripod. The screen showed what looked to be the inside of a vacant warehouse with dirty and broken windows where the morning sun was coming in. The floor was gritty and patches of rust were clearly seen. But the most obvious thing Kim noticed was Josh Mankey, still in his sky blue pinstriped pajamas tied to a chair that was suspended in the air with a length of chain. Kim clenthed her fists tightly growling when she saw the condition he was in. After a few seconds a Josh moving slightly in a vain struggle to get free, Kigo stood in front of the camera but in her true form. Her face was Kim's in appearance but her epidermis was scaly with the same pale olive green as Shego's skin, her eyes yellow with black slit pupils, and Kim's hair with Shego's raven black color. Kigo's face was sour but serious when she spoke. "Kim, unless you want golden boy to be in several places at once the painful way, meet me alone of where I'm filming this. You're a smart bitch; I know you'll be here by 8."
The video stopped afterward and Shego leaned in. "No brainer, we find out what rock she's under and we thrash the bitch back to whatever genetic material she was cloned from," she said casually.
Kim glared at her. "No we can't, I have to find her and find a way to save Josh Mankey," she said.
Shego growled and slammed her fist down. "Are you stupid? She wants you alone so she can rip you to shreds. Don't you remember what happened at the museum? She's afraid of the both of us together, that's why she wants alone. Together, we can over power the overgrown lizard."
Ron turned his head toward Kim. "I hate to say this," he said. "But Shego has a point. It's better to have two on one when Kigo is two in one . . . or something like that."
Kim shot her cold glare at Ron. "Ron, not now, this is serious."
Shego laughed lightly. "What, it's the most sense he ever made."
Ron smiled proudly. "That's why I am suggesting the two of you combine into one fused being!"
Both Shego and Kim gave the same disappointed face. "Well, easy come, easy goes," Shego says.
Ron waved his hand side to side and set Rufus down on the table. "No, look, I saw this done and it's almost guaranteed to work. When you do these exact moves, you two will become the most unstoppable force on the planet!"
While Ron and Rufus were starting to set up to show them what to do, Shego groaned in annoyed realization. "Please tell me you didn't see this from a certain anime show; one with people flying in the air, throwing energy blasts and changing from brunette to blonde." Ron hesitated to answer and Shego looked pissed. "There's a mutant clone trying to kill us all and you're trying to suggest we rip off DBZ to fight it? You're such a shithead!"
He looked insulted by that. "It's worth a try; we don't have anything else that might help."
"That's it, I don't what I was thinking when I joined you here but I know what I'm going to do. This little team up is over!" Shego declared as she began to walk away.
I'm going to have to do this my own way. -Shego
