Chapter 6- Family Affair
-----------------------------------
"Whoa," Ron breathed from his corner, mouth wide open. Rufus make a gasping sound from his shoulder, jaws just as
wide. The girl, 'Selene' as Kim had called her, seemed to notice. She looked very confused, glancing around and backing
away. Then her gaze rested on Ron and his pet rodent.
There was a definate jolt of electricity that lept up his spine as he realized just HOW alike she and Shego were. Kim had
been right... just like most of the time. Minus the confusion and absence of a temper, he would have mistaken them.
-----------------
"What. Were. You. Thinking?!" It was quiet and nigh-unhearable at all. Selene only cringed and sank to her hands and
knees, then ducked her head further. Shego was barely able to stiffle her anger. Her mind was abuzz with fury and
thoughts. Twice her daughter had saved her life in the past twenty-four hours, and she knew she should be grateful (and
she was...), but this tore at her heart.
Selene sank even further into herself, looking very much ashamed. "He had the laser aimed at both of you! Was I just
supposed to stand and watch?" As she went on, her shame ignited into anger; soon she'd found a hunched-over
standing position, hands curled into claws at her sides. Ron was wrong, she had inherited her mother's temper as
well. Arms crossed across her chest in order to keep them from bursting into flame, Shego narrowed her eyes and
looked away.
She knew if she answered 'no,' she would sound self-centered, and 'yes' would make her sound like a control-freak.
Instead, she was silent, trying hard not to make eye contact with anyone. Luckily -or, possibly, unfortunately- Drakken
broke the uncomfortable silence.
-----------------
"Isn't that... Selene? It is!!" Drakken reddened visibly and then took several steps forward, advancing towards Selene
with his fear forgotten. "Shego!!" He nearly exploded as he screamed her name, glaring hard at his assisstant. He
watched her twitch at her yelled name and felt a sudden empowerment. "I thought you got rid of her years ago! What
is she doing standing there?!?"
-----------------
Selene was very confused. No, that was the understatement of all understatements. She glanced between Shego and
Drakken, his words cutting into her. '...Got rid of her...?' What was she? An unwanted little puppy you could dump in
some pound?! But she wasn't angry -she was scared to death. A mother's anger was something you feared -especially
if she was Shego. But Drakken's psychotic raving about her being booted aroused her abandonment issues. She
whined pathetically and backed away from being in between both.
"What? Did you want me to kill my own daughter?! Just take her out and shoot her?! She's my -daughter- Drakken!
Besides, she was TWO!" Catching the tone in Shego's voice, Selene raised her head. She was being defended... not
something she was used to. Often it was the other way around.
"N-n-no! But... but you could have sent her to an orphanage. Or... just dropped her off at some church. Have some nun
raise her." His eyes rested on the young girl, glaring hatred and disgust. "We don't have room to raise some little brat!
We barely have the room for US-" His words cut off quick as Shego's hands flared green, claws extended, and she shot
a burning ray at the air beside Drakken's head. Taking the hint, he shut up quickly and cowered behind the damaged
laser gun.
----------------
When Selene had taken a hold of her hand and helped her to her feet, she'd felt an unusual strength and warmth hidden
below her tough exterior. She'd half-expected the raven-haired girl to be cold and rough, possibly snippy and angry for
earlier happenings, but none had come to pass. Honestly, the girl looked embarrassed, her jade eyes flickering to Kim's
eyes and then falling away.
There had been disagreements between the two before -that was nothing new, but Kim had never seen them go at each
other like this. Drakken was snapping at Shego while calling Selene names. Shego was on the verge of killing him.
Selene looked close to crying.
Behind her, she could here Ron exchange several words with Rufus. How she wished she understood what was going on.
One moment everything's completely normal (well, as normal as a freak-fighting teenager's life can get), the next
everything's been turned upside down.
Her archrival had a daughter who seemed to possess unusual abilities, and her archfoe wanted that girl dead. Or, at
least, far far away from him. But why? Surely a two-year old (according to Shego) wasn't a load of pain. How much
trouble could one kid be?
Licking at her lips, she cleared her throat and made sure to put distance between the fight and herself (dragging a gaping
Ron with her).
After the fight had begun, she watched the girl's actions carefully. What she deducted from what she saw didn't surprise
her now. The girl was going in on herself, trying not to let her emotions get the best of her, but slowly failing. Truthfully,
the look in her eyes was wild and far away, almost as if she wasn't in this reality anymore.
---------------- **flashback** -----------------
Pressing her back against the wall, Selene could hear the conversation between the grown-ups clear as a silver bell in
church. Her figure was much smaller, nearly cresting three feet, her features still child-like and young. Her hair fell
straight to her shoulder blades over her little black-and-green dress.
"And just when did you plan on telling me about her?" Drakken's voice imprinted itself on her memory, all the malice and
contempt obvious.
"Soon," Shego's voice. "Besides, what's it matter to you?"
"When I hired you, I didn't except you to come with baggage!"
"Baggage?! She's my daughter, not some incapacity! I can still work."
"You can't devote your time between her and me! Get rid of her."
Selene felt her tiny heart jump into her throat, thumping painfully. Her chest tightened, and tears started rolling down her
cheeks. Her lower lip trembled as she slumped to the ground.
"Why?!"
"She'll slow us down -get in the way. I can't support an attachment. Taking you on is hard enough."
"She's TWO! What's she going to do?"
"I don't know. I don't care. Just find a home for her."
Selene was crying now. How could this man do this to her? First her father... now her mother. While she was in thick
tears, there was a heavy silence between the adults. Finally, there was a heavy sigh, and Selene stiffled her sobbing in
time to hear the worst thing in her life.
"I've got family in Chicago. She can go tomorrow. Let me go help her pack." Anger. Desperation. Annoyance. Sadness.
She didn't understand all of these emotions yet, but she had an idea. Finding her feet and stumbling into a run, she went
to her room and flung herself on the bed. Drawing her knees to her chest, she cried head on knees, arms wrapped around
legs.
Granted she was five years old in appearance and intelligence, she still understood what was happening.
----------- **end flashback** ---------------
"Aviarius doesn't know she's alive, Drakken! As long as you don't open your mouth to anyone, he shouldn't EVER know.
For all he knows, she never made it out of the car crash." Shego was explaining the predicament to Drakken, trying her
best to change his mind. Selene thought it was working when she saw the doubt in his eyes and his momentary hesitation.
"Yes, well... "
"Well, what?? If that was your daughter, you wouldn't just throw her out, would you?" Shego was bent on twisting
Drakken's opinion on him subtly.
"Well..... no. But-"
"No 'buts.' She stays here. I've been out of her life too long. You won't take her away again." Shego was set stubbornly
in place, arms crossed again. "If she goes.... I go."
The room fell into a restless quiet, Drakken's eyes darting around as he thought on this.
