"DRAKKEN!"
Shego stormed into the lab angry, sad and frustrated all at once. She shuffled her way over to the operational dial and looked at the keys. "Damnit. How do I turn off the gas?" She made a guess and toggled a black switch. Nothing happened. She twisted some knobs and pressed some buttons until she pounded on everything at once. Doors instantly opened and Shego blinked. 'That's convenient.' At least she could get in. Quickly she slipped a gas mask on and found Drakken sprawled across the floor where she had left him. He had a drunken look on his face. She growled and slapped in angrily. No response. She shook him rapidly. "Wake up right now!"
Drakken responded by smacking his two lips together in an unpleasant fashion. He opened his eyes and had a dazed look on his face as he focused on Shego. "Sheeeego." He said still off from the gas. Shego was disgusted and dragged him out of the healing room.
After what had seemed like twenty minutes of trying to get her boss to break free, she finally got to rant. "Drakken!" She exclaimed. Drakken noticed alarm in her tone. It didn't take human tears to know she was upset. "What is it?" "I KILLED a little boy!" She yelled. "Show me." Drakken said calmly. Shego was confused. "Show you?" She had no idea what the hell Drakken was going on about. But she was prepared to repeat the sequence of events WITH HIM instead. Her boss sighed, shook his head and told her to hold up her palm. "Think of the event. Let it play through your mind," Drakken commanded her, "Now look at your palm." Shego looked at her palm and was surprised to see a transparent screen playing through the mental image of the events at the SmartyMART. Shego's mouth hung open. "Now what is that?" "Just one of your many powers." Drakken whispered as he watched a playback of the scene. "Ah, I see you've discovered it," "Discovered what?" "Your body has a mind of its own." "My wha?" This man was making no sense as usual. Her boss led her over to some charts. "Despite your hatred of this change, I planned this carefully. During this process I realized that you are very thoughtful. You use your mind in battles. Not your body or heart. So I made it, that your body can think too. If you feel in danger or pressured your body might run or attack. It's very common that you won't be able to control it." Drakken said. Shego simply clawed him across the face. "What was that for?" Shego smirked, "I lost control of my body." Then she hung her head. She couldn't laugh either. Drakken tried to hold back yelling at her because this was a big step for her. "Listen Shego, I'm hear to teach you everything about your new body. Just listen to me..." "What IF I don't WANT to listen?!" "You really don't have a choice now do you?" Shego sighed and nodded. "Now then, we have a lot of work to do. Once we have you under control we can," "Don't even say her name. I'd rather think of myself as a," She paused for a moment trying to think this over, "Cyborg with more than one purpose." Drakken nodded and agreed. He went over to a table and picked up a silver chain bracelet and brought it over to his creation. "Now Shego, listen to me, this is important." Shego raised her head slightly in hopes she could be attentive. "This bracelet. Can be your savior in battle. I want you to wear it always. If at ANY moment, you feel the need to self-destruct... Destroy this bracelet. It will trigger your body to explode. It will destroy everything that is within fifteen feet in distance." Drakken said chaining the bracelet to her wrist. Shego nodded and understood. If things WERE to get difficult, she could always end her life right then and there. She wouldn't HAVE to be immortal and live a life of endless depression. "I think you and I," She whispered to the bracelet, "Are going to become very good friends."
