CC:Errr... actually, that's sort of why the big bedroom. Well... Yes, Darkwolf is a pain in the rump. He always has been. As for lemons, if they flow right it's possible, but I won't make any guarantees. They aren't important to the storyline.
Jezrianna: It only looks like a ruby, but it is a bit over much. 1)The gun can't aim that low, and Shego's car is more than fast enough to out run it no matter where it goes. 2) I don't usually kill people, unless I can bring them back. 3) It's based on Disney channel, it doesn't need to make sense. 4)Actually. It was supposed to be skidding sideways. 5)

"So, did your plan to kill them work?" Duff asked Darkwolf. They were both golfing from the office, the window replaced with a forcefield Dementor designed. Darkwolf shook his head, and swung his club. The ball lifted into the air, and exploded, without touching anything.
"You rigged that one." Darkwolf accused.
"I'm an evil golfer, what can I say, but you're evading the question." He pointed out.
"No, as a matter of fact, it didn't, and it wasn't supposed to." Darkwolf replied, watching Duff set up his shot. He swung and the ball flew out the window, and exploded just short of the courtyard, which looked like the lunar surface already. "I'm only sending a message to that little ego-centric opponent of mine, that he can't get rid of me that easily.
"Aye, a smart plan, just one thing. Do you think your messenger can remember it?" Duff asked.
"He better, I wrote it on his chest." Darkwolf smiled, oversize canines showing.

"My lady?" Shego asked again. She seemed stuck on it for some reason.
"Maybe you should start from the beginning." Ron suggested. Kim's mother coughed politely.
"Can I offer you anything?" She asked, in french. He smiled.
"No, thank you madame. It's quite nice to see some of the world is still civilized." He replied, also in french. She smiled, and walked away, humming. A trio of stares followed her out, before reorienting on Shego and Geraud. "It's really rather simple. The countess Gonar, was the lady's late aunt."
"I renounced that heritage when I left Team Go." Shego snorted.
"But the heritage did not renounce you. The countess added a clause in her will, stipulating, that the entirety of her assets, including her ashes, are to be given to the youngest female heir, past their eighteenth birthday. In another year, your younger sister, would have inherited the title." A mass spit take greeted this.
"I have no sister." Shego snapped.
"Her parents are dead." Adam grunted.
"Title?" Ron asked.
"Gonar?" Kim blinked.
"Your parents only were thought to be dead. You have a sister. The title, is officially, The lady countess Suzanne Hilda Elaine Gonar. The name, comes from five prominent ancestors, Geoffery, Olivia, Nadeen, Alia, and Rupert. None of them French, but that is where the name comes from."
"My parents are alive?" Shego asked.
"How much is the estate and it's assets worth?" Adam queried, still utterly calm.
"Yes, in southern Africa." Geraud replied. The arms of Shego's chair cracked, and then burst into green flames. "The estimated total value of the estate, and assets, comes just under the hundred billion dollar mark. Since most of it, is tied into the vineyards, though, the liquid value is only a few hundred thousand." Shego growled something unintelligible. Adam began to blink.
"If Shego's parents are dead, who raised her and her brothers?" Kim asked.
"Their mother's sister, a lovely woman, named Bethany. She thought they were dead along with most of the rest of the family, they only contacted me, when they heard about the lady Gonar's death." He sighed.
"How do you know the family?" Ron asked. Kim smiled. :Good thinking Ron.: She complimented him mentally.
"My family, have lived within the borders of Gonar family lands, for nine generations. Our own fortune is sunk into the vineyards, so we are bound to the land itself rather than the family, though the bonds have always been strong in any case." He shrugged.
"Do you have a copy of the will?" Adam asked suddenly. The man nodded. He handed Adam a sheaf of papers. Adam took them, and activated the glow. He passed them to Ron, and leaned back in his seat on the couch, eyes closed.
"So, is there some reason you've come, beyond just to inform Shego of the death of her..." Kim stopped. "What relation?"
"Great aunt." He supplied.
"Her great aunt." Kim finished.
"Yes, actually, in order for her to take possession of the assets and such, she needs to speak with the lawyer, and he asked me to come and speak with her about it, since I was the closest one to her aunt." The man replied.
"I'm a countess?" Shego muttered.
"Yes, you are." Geraud replied. "Is there anything else I can do for you?" He asked politely.
"When do we have to meet with this lawyer?" Shego asked, snapping out of it.
"At your convenience." Came the reply. "If you'll excuse me, I have a flight in just under an hour, and I have to get going."
"Of course..." Shego nodded. "Thank you."
"Shego?" Adam spoke up. She looked at him. "You no longer have to be evil to take over the world. You now have the finances to buy it."
"But not until after I meet with this lawyer." Shego pointed out.
"True." He nodded. Then he smiled expansively. "How about a road trip?" He queried. Three stares met his question. "We'll head for the east coast the easy way, we'll take Behemoth. It's got direct satellite uplinks, and web access, so we can stay in touch while we go." He shrugged.
"Sounds like a plan to me." Ron shrugged, and looked at Kim. "What do you think?"
"I don't know." She responded.
"Come on Kimmie, live a little." Shego grinned. "You're the leader, so it's your decision, if you'd rather not, Genny can take us there and back, without a lot of trouble."
"No, actually, a road trip sounds like fun." Kim nodded. Ron opened his mouth to say something, but the Kimmunicator beeped. "Go, Wade."
"The jewel theft? I found out who did it." Wade replied. "It was the seniors."
"I thought you couldn't get the video footage? Something about an EMP." Adam spoke up. Wade snorted.
"Listen you..." He began, drawing breath for a tirade.
"WADE!" Kim snapped, cutting him off. "Focus on the mission, you two can have it out later."
"That's a promise." Adam grunted, but waved him on. Wade snorted again.
"There's a bank robbery in Lowerton, in progress, it's the Seniors." Wade continued, and ignored the face Adam was making. "SSS is wearing some of the jewels."
"Got it, we're on our way." Kim nodded. They piled out the door, Adam hitting the top on his car as they moved. They slid over the back of the car into place, Shego driving. Almost before they had finished buckling in, Shego had hit the accelerator. The pressure as they went from a standing start, to two hundred and seventy five miles an hour. She ducked traffic, with practiced ease, and they reached the bank in less than thirty minutes. The car slid to a stop, and they leapt from the car, and were intercepted by an officer.
"Miss Possible, really, we can handle this. It's only a bank robbery." He told her. She stared back at him, very levelly.
"Actually, it's the Seniors, and by contract, we get to handle them dude." Ron pointed out.
"How did you know that?" The officer growled.
"Twelve year old Super genius." Ron replied, leading Kim inside. Shego and Adam followed, shrugging at the officer.

Inside the bank, the Seniors were busy carrying the bank door out of the way. Junior was actually doing the heavy lifting, wearing exo-armor to enhance his strength. His father smiled, noticing the four heroes.
"Ah, Miss Possible, Mr. Stoppable. Miss Shego, changed sides? Ah well. I'm afraid I don't know the other young man." SSS smiled. Kim snorted.
"Adam, Adam Marcae, is his name, but I'm the one you need to worry about, especially after what you did to Ron." Kim snapped. SSS sighed.
"I'm terribly sorry about your injury Mr. Stoppable, the man was new to the job, he thought he was actually supposed to hit you. He's been fired. Are you ready to do battle?" He asked. They four looked at each other, and nodded. Kim and Ron charged SSS, and Shego darted towards SSJ. Adam dropped to a bench near the door, and leaned back.
---
Kim opened the fight with a flying kick, which Senior dodged sweeping his foot around behind him. Kim landed on her feet, grinning. He stared for a split second, before he realized his mistake. Ron's tackle rolled him over, and they slammed into the wall. Senior kicked Ron off, and rolled to his feet, bringing his cane up, just barely in time to block a kick from Kim. She stumbled backwards, and then bent over as the cane whipped towards her ribs. She cried out in pain as it slammed down on her stomach and ribs. She folded over and hit the ground, as Ron hit Senior. He charged Senior, fist drawn back and almost missed his timing, but it only seemed that way as he lashed his fist forwards, throwing enough force into it to send the older man flying.
---
Shego meanwhile, advanced on Junior. He said nothing, but drew back his robotic right arm and tried to reach out and grab her head. She ducked, and drove a lit fist into it. Sparks flew, and the arm was yanked back. She grinned, and leapt a clumsy swing with the left arm.
"Didn't you learn..." The left arm slammed into her side as it came back, knocking her to the ground. She rolled and came to her feet.
"I did, I learned well, teacher dear." Junior smiled a cold smile, and charged. Shego released her powers again and fired at the floor, melting the tiles, and underlying concrete. She grinned, as the legs of his armor sunk in, and were stuck. He growled, and struck out at her, but she danced out of reach. A second blast lanced through the left arm, melting the elbow in place. She grinned again, and then fired, severing the right arm completely. He pulled his arms out, and slammed the cockpit release controls, then climbed out. He stepped onto the cold concrete, and charged her, pulling back his fist, then dropping and sliding at the last moment. She expected it, and leapt and rolled over and to the side, so he couldn't grab her feet. She came up, into a round house kick, catching him on the chin as he charged, having been to his feet first. The kick didn't go the way she intended, as he kicked out on his own, and hit her in the chest. As they fell the two extended legs caught each other, and they slipped, dropping hard to the floor. She rolled to her feet at the same time he did.
---
After the pain subsided, which didn't take long, but left a dull ache, Kim rose to her feet, and saw Ron in trouble. Senior had his cane across her lover's throat. With a primal yell, she charged, and leapt, both feet coiled, striking out and driving him off. She landed just short of Ron, who was choking, and rolled to her feet. She leapt over him and charged again, faking right, ducking left and whipping around in a snap kick delivered to Seniors chin. Ron made his feet, and charged as well, leaping into the air, driving his left fist down to snap Seniors shoulder. Kim followed it with a hard right, and a hand plant two foot kick. Senior dropped, unconscious to the ground.
"Ron, are you alright?" She asked. He looked up, into her eyes and smiled.
"I am now." He kissed her, and rolled to his feet. "Let's go help Shego and Adam." She took the pro-offered hand, and they headed towards the other side of the bank.
---
Shego ducked another long, smooth blow, and swept a glowing hand upwards, which Junior dodged, and countered with a whip fast kick. She blocked and lunged knee first up, missing his crotch just by a few inches. He whirled around and caught her in the back of the head with a kick. She tumbled to the ground, and came up, dazed. It was at that point that Adam joined the fight. He appeared behind Junior, and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Leave my lady, alone!" He drew back, and slammed his fist into Juniors face. The attack totally unexpected, Junior was forced to take it on the chin, or risk breaking his nose, a fatal move in a fight. The blow was long and smooth, forcing Adam to follow through. Shego noted that he'd switched styles, since last time he'd fought, the movements were quicker, and not as calculated. Junior lashed up with his closer left foot. Adam caught it on his right leg, then snapped the leg straight, and leaned forwards onto it, bringing his left foot around, then planting it into Juniors face again. The other man stumbled a bit, and Adam kicked again, this one to the chest. Shego charged now, catching him off balance, and he was forced to react to her far; more rapidly. She pressed the attack, ignoring the blocks he made, and concentration on hits. She knew in a contest, she could win. To conserve strength, she kept her powers under control, and began to beat her way through his defenses. He was good at attacking, if he moved first, but she was master martial artist, and she didn't intend to lose. Besides, she had the advantages of speed, power, and anger on her side. She caught him on the right arm, just above the shoulder and he yelped in pain. A snap kick followed, and there was a characteristic sound of bone breaking. She whipped her knee up, and nailed him in the stomach, then delivered the coup de grace, a massive head butt. He dropped like a stone. She took a breath, and turned back to Adam. He said nothing as she walked up, and slammed her fist into his face. His eyes rolled into the back of his head, and he tumbled softly to the ground, with a light thud.
"Bastard, that's for not doing your part." She kicked him in the ribs. "That's for walking away without a word." She kicked him again. "So's that. And this!" She kicked him again. Kim arrived at that point, and pulled her away.
"That's enough." She snapped. "He's out already." Shego snorted.
"Good." Ron nudged him. Adam looked up, straight at Shego.
"Feel better?" He asked curiously.
"Some. I'll take out some more later." She snorted and offered her hand. He took it with a grin, and came to his feet.
"And I thought normal relationships were complicated." Ron commented idly, watching them kiss. Kim chuckled as she turned to him.
"Would you want a normal relationship?" She asked.
"No, I don't think I would." He replied, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. They walked out, each arm in arm, with Kim waving the officers forwards. The one from earlier approaches as they climb into the car.
"Sorry about that." He waved. "Earlier I mean."
"No big. You don't like someone else stealing the show. I know the feeling." She glanced back at Adam, who grinned. The officer stepped back, as Shego started the car. The drive home, took longer than the drive there, but only because they were going under the speed limit. Pulling in, all four could feel something was different than when they left.
"What's the matter?" Kim asked.
"Don't know, but I don't like this." Ron shook his head. Shego and Adam said nothing, but Shego advanced, powers active, while Adam put his hand behind his back. Kim didn't know what he had ready, but knowing him it could have been anything from a fireball, to party favors. They advanced forwards, approaching the door, and preparing. Ron put his back to the door, and turned the knob. Alarms blared in all four heads, they'd locked the door when they left. Ron lifted his hand, with three fingers, and counted silently to one, then slammed the door open and dove aside.
