Chapter 5- Goodbye, Ozone

-----------------------------------

"But Kim, can't we just stop at Bueno Nacho... just for a naco? Please? I'm starving!" Ron whined in vain as he sat

beside his best friend in the back of the pick-up truck.

Giving off an exasperated grunt, Kim shook her head. "Ron... you ate twice before we left. Besides, we're almost there."

Ron moaned and then preoccupied himself with the outside world. Rufus made a similar sound, but decided curling up for

a nap on Ron's lap was more important.

Kim only hoped they wouldn't have to face anything ...unnatural.

Pulling into the drive outside the newest lair, Kim and the man seated up front exchanged a few words, and then Ron and

Rufus slipped out the door after Kim. "Sooo.... what exactly are we doing here?" He looked straight up the wall, taking in

the vastly extravegant architecture. It was just like every other lair Drakken had; large, gaudy... blue.

Shrugging, he had to take a few quick steps to catch up with Kim as she made her way beneathe a barred window.

"Checking to make sure Drakken doesn't have any weapons of mass destruction... and," she fished in her bag and took out

her grappling hook, aimed, "if he has some," shot the barbed head dead-on through two of the bars, "disable them." She

gave the line a tug to make sure it was safe, then started up, hand-over-hand-style.

Ron followed with his own hook, following at a slower, steadier pace.

---------------------

Shego rested on a chair, flipping nonchalantly through a magazine, slipping in a 'yes' or 'uh-huh' where it was needed.

Drakken, on the other hand, was raving on and on as he put the finishing touches on his latest contraption. Shego had warned

Selene to stay in her room, no matter what happened, but she seriously doubted she'd listen. The girl was a free spirit and not

easily set to rest by a few cheap words. She just hoped nothing would happen like yesterday.

".... see, I will launch this into orbit above the earth. Then I'll release the chemicals slowly so they eat away at the ozone!!

Fawless!" Drakken praised his machine, too inthralled with his deviations to notice Shego drop the magazine and slip out the door.

---------------------

Selene had found a good amount of clothing packed in Shego's small closet, but she couldn't find anything in her size. She was

shorter and thinner because of near-starvation, while Shego was taller and had some serious muscles.

After fishing out some of the smallest pants and shirt she could find, she changed her clothes quickly, stuffing her dirty clothes

under the bed in case Drakken came in later and wondered about the smaller set of clothing. That way, he couldn't find it and

wouldn't ask.

The black pants were a little long and loose, but the waist fit well enough. The lime-green shirt almost fit, but the sleeves and hem

were an inch or two too long. No problem, though. She was used to clothes that didn't fit.

Taking a brush from the little table, she combed out her own hair, still wet from the shower she'd taken a few minutes ago. She'd

slipped in and out under Shego's reassurance that she'd be safe from discovery. After having weeks of dirt and sweat cleaned from

her skin, she was happier and quite more refreshed.

Of course, when the exploding sounds started to reach her ears, she wasn't worried about her looks or her health. Tearing out the

door and following the loud sounds, she found herself watching another battle between the red-head and her mom. Except, this

time there was a blonde boy standing stoiclly in one corner while Drakken screamed orders at Shego.

She promised herself she wouldn't interfere (especially here where Drakken would be able to see her) with any more fights unless it

looked to be getting desperate. This meant she had to stand and watch helplessly as the two went at each other.

Green fire flashed back and forth through the air, blocking punches and kicks, and then turning right around to deal them back.

Shego was in her usual jumpsuit, but Selene saw the threads where Shego'd sewn the bullet-tear up. In accordance with that,

Selene saw how she guarded her sore spots viciously.

---------------

Shego blocked a punch from Kim, but found her defense was falling as a kick sent her flying. After finding her feet and re-lighting

her hands, she growled in answer to Drakken's yelled orders. Sometimes he got on her nerves so much.... She met Kim half-way

there, dealing the cheerleader a blow before getting knocked in the temple. Grimacing in pain, she forced herself to keep fighting.

-----------------

Drakken was flitting around some devices that looked like curious guns. He was mumbing incoherantly while fidgeting around with

the dials and settings. Selene watched in suspision, knowing he was up to something. Sure enough, she aimed one of the

machines and fired, burning through Shego's chair in seconds. He aimed again towards the fighting girls, training the end on them

as they tumbled across the floor.

Selene growled, showing teeth that were becoming sharper by the second. He could hit Shego! Actually, she didn't want either to

get hit. As angry as she was at the girl, she didn't wish anything terrible to happen to her. She wasn't a very resentful person, and

wanted to see the good in everyone... and she could see the good in this girl.

She had made her decision: expose herself in order to save the girl's and Shego's lives.

An instant later, she was running on four legs towards the targets, intent on making it to them before the laser-gun did. She heard

the gun let loose a shot, and flung herself into the two desperately. She saw both of them give her this terrified look before her

weight threw them from the line of fire. She could hear Drakken starting to yell at the top of his lungs, 'What is THAT?!'

The shot whizzed by her head, missing by mere inches.

Having to change back in mid-air to avoid crushing the two she'd slammed into, she wasn't too concerned with where the shot had

gone. So, when they hit the ground and everyone was scrambling from the tangle all at once, she was surprised it hadn't taken a

chunk of flesh along with it.

"Who is that?! WHAT is that?! Shego!!!" Drakken was getting hysterical, and seemed to be aiming at Selene alone. Grabbing at

her waist for one of the knives, she wrestled with the urge to just change again and barrel him over. But more problems would

ensue, of course. Instead, she yanked the knife from her waist, tucked the blade into her palm, and threw it with practiced

precision at the laser.

The blade imbedded itself along the top of the barrel in nowhere practical, but Drakken didn't know this. He looked at the knife,

then to the girl who'd thrown it, and then backed away, hands up and cringing.

One problem taken care of, Selene helped up the two behind her, self-counsciously aware of her ruffled state when taking the girl's

hand and helping her to her feet. Shego, torn between furious anger and concern, just stared at her.
