Kim's eyes fluttered open, her head was floating and she was feeling slightly nauseas. Her vision was blurred and so was her memory. Slowly her vision came back and she saw her cold steal surroundings.
Shego leaned over her, "Morning Kimmy." A large smirk ran across her white face, "We are so glad that you are awake, you will be able to see Drakken's plan go to work."
Kim shook off of drowsiness to reply, "So I'll just sit here and watch as Drakken messes up a plan that is too complicated to explain. Why do you stay with this loser?"
"He's not a loser," Shego quickly shot back, her eyes turning red. "Listen Kimmy, Drakken is more brilliant than you will ever know."
Kim was taken aback by Shego's sudden outburst. Most of the time, Shego was insulting Drakken's latest scheme. "Why did you get so upset? That is so out of your character? I mean, you insult Drakken all the time."
"Like you would understand," Shego whispered, turning her back from Kim.
"Try me," Kim replied, amazed that Shego seemed to have a softer side. "I'm serious, Shego. See if I would understand or not."
"I used to work for Global Justice," Shego began, even she was surprised at the fact that she was telling Kim about this, but Kim wasn't going to be alive that long.
"I was getting tired of working with my brothers so I decided to do some work with a new crop of crime fighters. Well while working there I was assigned to the Doctor Blue case. We didn't know his name, so that's what we called him.
"I had spent months on end searching his files, hunting down his cronies and his cohorts. Most turned out to be dead ends, he was obviously to smart to let his comrades know all the details of plans. He would send them to fake hideouts. He was always one step ahead, it drove me crazy, I had to take him down.
"Finally the break came, the one I had been waiting for. A girl was brought into intensive care. She had been stealing engine parts, we found the parts she had were consistent with the materials Dr. Blue would need for his plot.
"I went into the hospital, she was in a daze, so I was able to question her without any hindrances, location, exact plan, amount of people putting in an effort, everything I would need set right out in front of me.
"I went alone; I took out the guards easily enough. The real trouble started when I met Dr. Blue, he was fiddling around with this humongous machine. He looked up when I walked through the door. 'Shego, I was terribly worried that I would not meet before I execute my plan,' he told me as he walked over his hand outstretched in greeting.
"'It's all over Dr. Blue, we have your sidekick in custody, and Global Justice agents will be here any minute,' I told him, I took his hand. I know I shouldn't have.
"'Please call me Dr. Drakken that is my name. Now wont you come along and take a better look at the machine you are going to destroy," he took my hand and led me to the machine. He started to turn dials, push buttons, pull levers and tell me how it all worked. I don't think I heard a word of it though, I was to taken aback by the way he had greeted me," a dreamy look began to speckle Shego's otherwise strong and tough face.
"That's when it happened; part of the machine came undone. It came spiraling towards us, I went to pull his head out of the way, but I was too late. He stood there as the piece of renegade metal, dug itself into his head. I should have taken him to the Global Justice hospital, but I knew of a villain's hospital, I don't know why, but I took him there."
Shego looked over at Kim, who was still sitting there, of course, with an expression of rapt attention. "I guess you want me to finish the story?" Shego questioned her hand on her hip, Kim nodded in reply. "Yeah…yeah…whatever, fine," Shego said returning to her bitter self.
"He was in the hospital for about a week, I stayed there the entire time. Well, I couldn't go back to headquarters, I would be let go like that," she snapped her fingers for effect.
"Well, I had spent so much time going over his files, and he would talk in his sleep. It was like we had known each other forever. When he came to I took him to stay with me, he stayed with me for two months. Then one day he said he had to leave. I mean can you believe it, he wanted to leave me!" Shego shouted the rhetorical question at Kim before returning to her story.
"I asked him why, and he told me that he could never stop being a villain and that he didn't want me to get involved. Too late. I grabbed him and kissed him, I loved, no love the big idiot. Okay Kimmy, do you get it now. You can't insult Drakken because you don't know, nor do you love him," Shego's eyes were filled with passion.
"I totally understand," Kim felt that since Shego shared her inner most secret Kim should tell her something in return, "I know exactly what it is like to work with the person you are in love with."
"How could you know," Shego shot at her, small tears forming in the corners of her eyes. She was ashamed for telling Kim her tale, "You work with that incomp…." Realization suddenly smacked her in the face; she could have kicked herself for not noticing it earlier.
"You're in love with Ron, your gangly sidekick. What happened to the spiky haired guy?" Shego said cackling.
"So over that," Kim replied.
"I see, well, I got to go. It's been nice chatting with you Kimmy, but there is a certain naked mole rat that needs to be mutated," Shego quipped as she left, but inside her heart was churning, she and Kim had connected, and it was a deep connection. Shego's soul was being torn in two.
