"What is that thing?" Kim asked.
"Trouble." Xanatos replied.
"The man is smarter than he looks." The deep voiced, flaming monster called. "See, my father, the wonderful Anton Sevarius..." Adam glanced at Goliath.
"You haven't killed him yet?" He asked incredelously.
"It's on my to do list." Goliath replied. Elisa snorted.
"Since when?" She asked.
"Now." Goliath replied, smiling. "What do you want?"
"The same thing everyone wants, to destroy you. After all this time, you still have to ask?" The creature laughed. Ron sighed.
"Dude, aren't you forgetting something?" The creature stared at him. "Tell us your name?"
"Oh, right. I am called Golsa. Since I'm the genetic off-spring of Goliath, and the detective Elisa Maza. Of course, my father made obvious improvements. And who really cares where he got the DNA." He smiled, and charged Lexington, simply because he was handy. Fire lashed along his hands as he grabbed for the agile gargoyle. Lexington leapt back, as Goliath and Broadway slammed into the creature. Fire flashed in defense, singeing them. Golsa tossed them into the air. Coldfire's arms flashed up, and blasted him with flames. He laughed, then stopped, as Coldstone's fist smashed into his jaw. He stumbled back , and lifted his arms, fire lashing out towards the cybernetic gargoyle. Goliath crashed into his brother, sending both tumbling to the ground. Shego fired a blast of her own powers, catching the other off-guard. He crashed into the wall, and came to his feet. The wounds sustained from the blows, and Shego's attack healed as they watched.
"Kim, mind the moron!" Shego yelled. After a second she nodded, drew back, and slammed her telekinesis against him, pinning him to the wall. The gargoyles took the opportunity to move and hit him all at once. At the last second, he flashed away, in the same blue grey light, that Andrea and the others had used to escape. Xanatos winced, as the gargoyles smashed into the wall, and it crumbled before them. Behind him, Owen sighed.
"I'll call the contractors in the morning." He commented, turning away. Fox laughed, and turned to Shego.
"That happens more often than you think. The walls, not the attack." She commented, grinning.
"Are you telling me, you know what happened to him?" Xanatos asked.
"Yes, he was pulled out by someone we know. I hate to say it, but I think our problems have just been compounded." Kim muttered.

"What the hell is that?" Darkwolf asked. Amy grinned.
"A creation of an old friend." She giggled. "A doctor I knew from college. A doctor Anton Sevarius."
"My father. A master of genetic science." The hulking behemoth replied.
"That can't create a stable clone, to save his life." Drakken commented.
"Says da soda man." Dementor jibbed.
"Not my fault, I was working with inferior equipment." Drakken replied defensively. Dementor entered the room.
"Yeah, upstairs." He muttered under his breath.
"It seems, we have a mutual failing. We both pick inopportune times to attack. Maybe we should work together, to deal with our mutual pest problem." Andrea commented. He smiled. "But when I return. I have pressing business elsewhere." He nodded.
"Shall we send you home?" Dementor asked. Golsa nodded. "Give me the co-ordinates." He vanished, as Darkwolf followed Andrea out.
"What business is this?" He snapped. "You work for me. You don't get..." She slammed him into the wall, a hand around his throat. She squeezed.
"I get off any time I want. If you take offense, I really, really don't give a shit. I'm leaving. I'll return, when I'm finished, and not a day before." She let go, and dropped him to the ground. She turned, and walked away. Duff whistled.
"Wha' a woman." He commented. Watching her walk away.

The rooms Xanatos lent us were luxurious, more so than anything I'd ever slept in, including the few palaces various I's had stayed in. I mentioned that to Shego. She snorted.
"There's no need to rub it in." She commented. I blinked. I wasn't? Was I?
"I wasn't trying to. I'm sorry if I did." She sighed.
"I know, it's just..." She trailed off. "I'm not sure how to put this, but you're..."
"An asshole?" I supplied. She smiled, but shook her head.
"Being you." She laughed harshly. "I don't think you know you're doing it, but you're doling out tidbits about yourself, and revealing things a bit at a time. It is extremely irritating."
"Alright, we're leaving for France in the morning, I'll dump everything into your minds then. We'll get all this cleared up." I replied. "You three will know everything about me." I did my best not to show my irritation, but I don't know if it worked. I never do when talking to Shego. I sighed. "Good night."
"Good night."
