Chapter 6

A/N: All right. Here it is. The all-revealing chapter. Heck, it could even be the last chapter. I don't know. A lot of you aren't going to like this, but I have had the idea for where this story was going in my head for months, so if you don't like it- tough.
Thanks to all of you who have read it! I enjoy your input greatly. PS- I know the people are all kind of OOC (out of character). Sorry.

Shego went back to the lair so she could throw something against the wall.

When she got there, however, she found that the place had already been trashed.

"Dr. D?" she called, walking through the rooms. "Dr. Drakken?" Shego was beginning to get freaked out. Chairs were strewn everywhere, papers were ripped and on the ground, and glass test tubes were shattered on the floor. Something had happened.

"Drew!"

The place was deserted. Not a soul was in sight. Shego ran up to Drakken's room, hoping that maybe he could be up there.

"Dr. D?" she said softly as she opened his bedroom door. He wasn't in there, but there was a note tacked to the wall. It said:

Shego- if you ever want to see Drakken alive again, capture Kim Possible and bring her to my lair.

Love, Professor Dementor

Shego felt her hand light up and enjoyed watching the note burn. Then she slowly sank on to Drakken's bed. "What do I do?" she asked herself out loud. "I either have to give Kimmie to Dementor, or allow him to keep Drakken…how can I choose between one or the other?"

Kim and Monique were at the mall's food court so Kim could blow off some steam. After several minutes of silence Monique decided to say something.

"Kim, is there anything you'd like to talk about?"

Kim looked up at her friend and felt bad for not telling her everything that was going on.

"Yeah, Mon, I-" Kim was cut off by the Kimmunicator.

"Go, Wade," she said half-heartedly. Wade looked very nervous. "Well, Kim," he began. "I did some tests comparing your DNA to anyone's I could get a hold of."

Kim brightened. "You did? Why didn't you tell me? Did you get any results?"

"Whoa, hold on there Kim." Wade said. "I did, but…"

Kim didn't like Wade's hesitation. "But what? It can't be that bad can it?" she said, hope written all over her face.

"Kim, do you want to be alone?" Monique asked. Kim shook her head. "It's fine Monique. Wade, tell me now."

Wade took a breath. "Kim, this test is one-hundred percent accurate. The results are- your real parents are- Drakken and Shego."

For the first time in her life, Kim passed out.

Kim woke up in her room on her bed. Mrs. Dr. Possible was sitting next to her in a chair.

"Kimmie, you're awake! Honey, what happened?" she said.

Kim felt that if she opened her mouth she would throw up. "N-n-nothing," she managed to say.

Mrs. Dr. Possible said, "Kimmie, if it was nothing you wouldn't have passed out."

Crap! She has a point that I can't avoid answering.

Kim was trying to think of a good lie when her window shattered. There is a God! She thought, until she looked over to see who had broken the window. No!

There Shego was, crouched in her window and staring at them.

"What do you want?" Kim said.

"Isn't she the one who helps the blue villain bent on taking over the world?" Mrs. Dr. Possible asked.

Kim grit her teeth. "I can handle this, Mom," she said, hardly able to hold the sarcasm in as she said "mom".

"Alright, Kimmie. Just be careful," she said as she left the room.

"What do you want?" Kim repeated. Shego hopped out of the window. "I need your help," she said.

"Tch, yeah right," Kim scoffed.

"Please, just hear me out," Shego replied. Kim saw the sincere look in her eyes and felt herself relenting. Maybe she has a reason for being evil, she thought.

"Fine. Talk away," Kim said, crossing her arms.

"Professor Dementor kidnapped Drakken, and he left a note. It said that I have to give him you, or let him keep Drakken." Shego said, a pleading tone in her voice.

Kim blinked. "And what do you want me to do about it?"

"Well, I was hoping I wouldn't have to do either," Shego said. "I was hoping you'd help me rescue Drakken."

"Why would I do that?"

Shego didn't reply at first. She looked like she was on the verge of tears. "Please, Kimmie," she said softly.

Kim felt herself give in. "Okay, I'll help you."

Before Shego could stop herself she rushed forward and hugged Kim.

Kim awkwardly patted Shego's back, secretly happy to be hugging her.

Shego and Kim were in the bushes outside Dementor's lair.

Kim was suddenly regretting her decision to come. "So, what exactly did you have in mind?" she asked. Glancing over at Shego.

Shego looked thoughtful. "Well, I was thinking that you and I go in, we beat some henchmen up, then grab Drakken and scram."

Kim rolled her eyes. "And you needed me for this?"

Shego bit her lip. "Well, plan B was to pretend to give you up, grab Drakken, free you, and then scram, but either one's fine with me…"

Kim stood up. "That's it. I'm leaving," she said, turning to leave.

Shego reached out and grabbed Kim's arm. "Kimmie, please," she said.

Kim turned around and gave Shego a scrutinizing glare.

"Fine. If you answer a question."

Shego frowned. "Um, okay…"

"What's your real name?"

Shego was taken aback. Out of all the questions she expected Kim to ask, that was not one of them. "Who says I have one?"

Kim shrugged. "Have it your way," she said, turning to leave once more.

"Wait! All right, I'll tell you. It's Stephanie."

Kim felt the last thread of hope that Wade was somehow wrong slip away.

Kim swallowed. "Okay, let's go."

Shego was still confused about why Kim would ask her such a weird question, but she was happy that Kim agreed to stay and help.

The bushes were at least thirty feet away from the lair, so Kim and Shego had a ways to sneak. "Now can I ask you a question?" Shego said.

Kim glanced at her, but nodded her 'yes'.

"Why did you ask me that?"
Uh-oh, Kim thought. "Oh, um…I was just wondering," she said.

Shego raised an eyebrow. "You think I'm gonna take that as your answer?"

Kim sighed. I may as well tell her that I know, she thought.

"Shego-" Kim put her hand on Shego's shoulder, telling her to stop walking. "I know."

Shego was confused. "Know what?"

"That-that you and Drakken-" Kim was cut off by twelve of Dementor's henchmen coming up from behind her and Shego, their buzz batons ablaze.

"Shall we?" Shego said, glancing at Kim. Kim nodded. "We shall."

However, before either of them even had a chance to get in their fighting stances, the henchmen buzzed them. Hard.

Kim woke up tied to some sort of lab table. Shego was on her left and Drakken was on her right, and both were unconscious. Professor Dementor was standing over Kim, waiting for her to wake up. "Ah, Kim Possible," he said. "I see that you have awakened."

"Dementor, what do you want?" she spat.

"Oh, nothing much, just to DESTROY YOU ALL!"

Kim raised an eyebrow. "Nothing new there," she muttered. She struggled against her bonds.

"Oh, no use trying to escape," Dementor said. "It's pure titanium. Nothing will break through it."

Kim stopped struggling. How are we going to get out of this? she thought.

Dementor had two of his henchmen wheel Shego and Drakken across from Kim.

"And now for the big finish," he said, grinning evilly at Kim. Kim struggled again, but still couldn't get out. Her arms were locked straight out so she couldn't reach in her pocket and get the laser ring. "What would that big finish be?" she asked.

"You get to watch them die."

Kim wasn't sure how she felt about that. "What makes you think I'd care?"

Dementor looked taken aback. "You're Kim Possible! You save every life, even if they are villains!"

Kim tried to shrug. "Well, there's nothing I can do so I won't feel that guilty."

Dementor looked angry. "Fine. I will be back." He turned and left the room, his henchmen following like obedient puppies.

Kim breathed a sigh of relief. "Shego, wake up!" she said, trying to kick at her. They were too far apart, but the shouting seemed to work a little. "Shego!"

Shego moaned and tried to roll her head to the side. When she couldn't her eyes snapped open. "What happened?" she asked, looking from side to side.

Kim rolled her eyes. "What do you think happened? We got ambushed."

Shego's brow furrowed. "Oh. Well, let's bust out already."

"I kinda tried that already. My hands are too far away from my pockets." Kim said, trying to move again.

"No problem. I can get out," Shego said.

"How?"

"Well, the dope took my gloves off, thinking that stopped my power. So, he thought it was okay to put my hands next to my sides." Shego replied, her hands lighting up and melting the metal like it was nothing. She carefully did her head restraint then sat up and did her feet. Shego got up and went over to Kim. "See? Piece of-"

Dementor came in when Shego had Kim half free. "What is this! I took your gloves!"

Shego rolled her eyes. "So? It's not the gloves, buddy."

Shego blasted him away, buying her enough time to free Kim all the way.

Kim jumped up as soon as she could and had to fight Dementor's henchmen that had just come in.

Kim was fighting two henchmen while Shego was fighting six. Shego was doing fine until one henchman came from behind and dislocated her shoulder.

Shego tried her best to fight, but she was already worn out and worried, so her game wasn't so good. Another henchman buzzed her, while one hit her on the head.

Her vision slowly dimmed to black.

Shego woke up in the hospital with Kim sitting next to her in a chair. "What happened?" she asked groggily.

Kim looked up from the magazine she was pretending to read. "You passed out, G.J. came and bailed us out, and now we're here."

"What about Dementor?"

Kim smiled. "He's behind bars," she said.

Shego nodded. "And Drakken? You rescued him, right?"

Kim pointed to the other bed in the room, which Drakken was in.

"The nurse had to sedate him. He was screaming something like, 'my mother said I could play at the park'. He was waking up half the hospital," she said, shaking her head slightly. Shego's lips twitched up at the corners.

Shego's small smile turned into a frown. "What were you saying before we got captured?" she asked.

Kim's face turned the color of her hair. "Well, I was just going to say that I-"

Kim paused. What if I never tell her? They don't have to know that I know-

Kim's thoughts were interrupted by Shego saying, "That you what? Spit it out!"

"I know about you and Drakken," Kim blurted.

Shego blinked. "You know what?" she asked.

Kim avoided answering by asking another question. "How did you meet?"

Shego shrugged. "I had left Team Go and I met Drakken at a club for villains. He needed a partner, so I agreed to help him."

Kim raised an eyebrow. "Liar," she said.

Shego was beginning to wonder what Kim was playing at. What does she know?

"What do you mean, 'liar'? That's how we met." Shego said, avoiding Kim's eyes.

Kim looked at her hands. "Please don't lie to me. I've been lied to enough," she said quietly.

Shego felt her heart stop. She knows she knows she knows…

"I'm sorry," she said.

Kim looked up and Shego felt like crying. Only her pride stopped her. "What do you want to know?"

Kim bit her lip. "I want to know how you met, and why you left me."

Shego looked up at the ceiling for a second. So it's finally time, she thought.

"We met in college. Actually, the Possibles introduced us. He was kind of-no, completely, crazy. We dated all though college. Then, after we graduated, we got married. One year later you were born. We were so happy-"

Shego paused to allow the memories come flooding back. "Mr. Possible called Drew one day and wanted our help with a rocket. We dropped you off at Drew's mom's- sorry about that by the way- and went to the labs. Aviarius- you remember him?"

Kim nodded.

"He came looking for me and caused an explosion. Small amounts of rocket fuel mixed with nitrogen sulfate and caught on fire. That's how he turned blue, he was trying to save the rest of us from the fire. Something hit him on the head, and that caused memory loss. He doesn't remember a thing."

Kim suddenly felt bad for Shego. She had obviously had to move on and take up a new lifestyle.

"I knew I couldn't do anything, but I couldn't leave him either so I gave you to the Possibles. They were our best friends, and I knew they'd take care of you."
After this long narration, Kim had only one question. "Why did you become a villain and fight me all the time?"

Shego smiled. "Easy. So I could make sure you didn't get hurt."

That was obvious, Kim thought.

Shego lay back on the hospital pillow. I am so tired, she thought.

"What do we do now?" Kim asked.

Shego frowned. "That's a good question. Unfortunately memory can come and go as it pleases, so I think-" Shego paused, unsure- "maybe you should keep your old life. It would be kind of hard to change."

Kim bit her lip and nodded. "Yeah," she said.

Shego winked. "Maybe I'll let you win once and a while."

A/N: There you have it. There could very possibly be an epilogue, depending on how many reviews I get. Let's say, 6 reviews epilogue. Sound fair? Good.

Until I write again, The Spooky Mulder
