Thanks to: Mira425, once more. Thanks for adding me to your favorites!!! Last of all, Raigeki. I must apologize to everyone for not posting this up earlier. Bah. I got the

biggest writer's block I've had in a while, and I kinda had to wait until it went away so this chapter didn't suck (although I think it still does... --). Anyways, here it

finally is! Enjoy!

ATTENTION TO ALL READERS: I loved 'Go Team Go' because it focused on Shego a lot, who is my favorite villainess, but I wasn't too keen on the whole glow-y rainbow-y Easter egg comet thing-y that gave Shego and her brothers their powers. So, for this fanfic, I'm just gonna void that episode. Therefore- Kim and Shego have never teamed up before, Kim doesn't

know who Aviarius is, etc. Also, I'm gonna say Shego (and her brothers) were exposed to radiation when they were little, which, in turn, changed their genetic make-up. So, HA!! Take

THAT! Another thing I didn't particularly like was Aviarius himself; if Shego was 'afraid' of him enough to join (and put up with) her 'dorky brothers' and Kim, I was thinking this

Aviarius guy was going to be something to fear. Yea, he didn't look too terrible to me. So, I have also changed him up quite a bit to give Shego a little more of something to

fear. Likewise, there is going to be some history later in this fanfic that I made up.... so don't believe it :P. Hopefully ya'll will like this chapter despite all the changes

I've put it through. Also, this is NOT a reindition of 'Go Team Go.'

Chapter 8- Bird of Prey

-----

"Hey, kiddo, did you catch an escapee?" Shego grinned over and down at Kim, although she was greatly confused to why she was sitting on the floor. Actually, she didn't seem to be

doing much of anything but sitting there-

"She wasn't escaping, mom, we were talking." Selene looked very proud of herself, and Shego glanced at her, quirking an eyebrow. Why did this scene /not/ make sense?

"Uh... okay." She took one look at Kim and frowned. Kim was almost wincing, but didn't seem to offer much of a threat. Shego was on the brink of asking a question when the entire

place started shaking violently and something close to a nuclear bomb rocked the entire complex. The noise was deafening, yes, but it threw Selene into a snarling frenzy; after all,

she was the one with the sensitive hearing.

Shego slapped her hands over her ears and cringed against the explosion. She didn't see what anyone else was doing until after the noises had leveled off into near-silence. Ron was

screaming somewhere in the background while eerie silence fell over everyone else, but no one seemed to notice. Selene was growling angrily, and Shego saw thin lines of red trailing

down the sides of her face; her ears were bleeding. Kim was recovering pretty much the same as herself.

Whenever Stoppable arrived on the scene, blubbering hysterically about something-or-other, she unconsciously unlocked the cage she was holding the rat in and handed the thing to him.

The hairless blob of skin scampered up Ron's sleeve to sit on his shoulder and throw a raspberry in Shego's direction. Glaring sharply at Rufus, Shego scared the thing back into

hiding in Ron's pant pocket.

They threw looks at one another, silently wondering what was happening in the outside world.

Unfortunately, they didn't have to wait long.

The door at the top of the stair gave a long metallic sigh and then caved in with a crash. The door slid down the stairs and the foursome at the bottom had to jump back to avoid being

in it's path. A small winged form glided into the room, punctuating its silent wingbeats with a shrill cry that further split their ears.

Shego felt her heart leapt into her throat and something twist her stomach into a knot. There were very few times she was trully, honestly afraid of something that she forgot to hide

her fear; now was one of those times. She started cussing and swearing, her body slowly being racked by tremors.

After a moment of just circling the group in lazy, carefree arcs, the hawk retreated back to its master who had silently appeared at the top of the stairs, oulined by the door frame,

yellowed light burning his form into a silhouette.

"Aviarius," slipped the name, almost like a curse, in a whispered tone from Shego.

---------

Of all her years fighting the criminal freaks she'd come to familiarize herself with, Shego was one of the most unlikely people of the bunch that would respond in such a cowering

fashion before a foe. And, yet, Kim's eyes and ears did not play tricks on her when Shego starting ranting and shaking visibly. So, if /Shego/ was agraid of this guy -Aviarius, if

that name Shego had spoken was his- what was her take on him?

Trouble. BIG trouble.

She could only make out his silhouette, and there was very little she could tell about him. He was tall and had a broad set of shoulders, but eveything else was obscured in a floor-

length cloak. His cloak obstructed any further observations, not that it was much of a problem when Aviarius lifted one gloved hand and, one-by-one, the four in the

basement slipped into a state between sleep and the waking world.

Kim sat quietly, trying to come up with a plan to get out of this white steel-walled room that her, Ron, and Shego had been securely locked inside of. Selene was no where to be seen.

Ron was next to her, Rufus on his shoulder, and all three of them watched while Shego resumed trying to smash her way out of the room for the fourth time. The first time she had begun, Kim

had protested against taking such actions, but the woman was just too hard-headed and refused to listen.

"Let us out!!" Shego barked the order, running her fists into the door with blind fury. The banging was quite loud, and reverberated in their confined space -causing the noise to

amplify. "Let us out!" She beat one fist against the door rapidly, almost as if she were trying to knock on the door of a person who had loud music on inside the house.

When it finally became obvious this was not going to work, Shego put herself in a corner and brooded.

Kim couldn't do much more than sit, watch, and wait.

The room was square, with about a ten-by-ten foot perimeter, and was totally starch-white. There was the faint outline of a door on one wall, with a tiny bullet-proof window towards the top

and a small slot in the middle that was currently unopenable. It was a very impersonal room, and there seemed no way out; all her gadgets had been confiscated earlier by Drakken and Shego.

Now all they had was intellect and experience (not to mention Shego's plasma if she helped) to arm themselves with.

"When I get out of here, I swear I'll tear him apart." Shego's voice.

Kim shivered at the venom that edged the threat.

"See, Selene, it's simple, really." Aviarius stroked the feathered head of his abnormally sized vulture and grinned. He was seated on his throne, the giant scavenger bird sitting

calmly at his right hand. "You can forfeit your powers on your own will, or I can force them out of you." The sceptor he held in his left hand glowed, and the bonds around the girl's

wrists and ankles tightened, constricting blood flow.

Even in the face of her own enemy, a face she feared like none other, Selene still refused to show anything but stubborn anger. She growled and yanked against her restraints, her bared teeth

growing very large and very VERY sharp. Claws formed where useless nails had once been, trying desperately to tear the cuffs off. Her throat was getting ragged from the animal cries of rage

she was blasting at Aviarius. Yanking, pulling, pushing, thrusting, twisting, turning, clawing, and chewing did little to help her predicament.

There was suddenly a cruel glint in the man's eyes. "I was hoping that would be your choice."

He guestured to his henchmen, and one moved forward holding a pole with a forked end that crackled and popped with live electricity.

There were no words to describe the fury she felt as she supressed the urge to fully Change. This man had taken her father away... and now he had seperated her from her mother and was

threatening to take away her powers. She could not -would not- ever forgive him. She had been too young all those years ago to have helped her dad, but she was old enough to help her mom,

and she'd be damned if she couldn't save Shego.

Memories of the burning car came back like a slap as the stun gun burned her flesh; flames licked at her skin in a hunger no mortal would understand. The smell of smoke, burning skin and oil

thick and heady in her nostrils. And screaming. Like a pig that had had it's hind end torn off and was left to flail and bleed to death. Not her own. But, who's? ....Dad. Trapped in the

twisted shell that had once been a car. She attempted to Change, but something was crushing her tiny two-year-old body into the asphalt. And mom! Where was she?
