The Past Remembered

Chapter Three: What's going on?

By: The Spooky Mulder


"You won't get away with this!" Kim shouted as Hego began to lower her into a vat full of boiling acid.

Hego merely laughed. "Of course I will, you silly girl!"

"Hey!" Shego yelled from her spot next to Kim. "She's not silly!"

Ron and Drakken were still tied up on the tables. Ron knew he wouldn't be any help even if he wasn't tied down, so he just stared at Kim with wide eyes.


Drakken was still unconscious, but he was moving around (as much as possible) and moaning every once in a while.

Something very strange was going on inside Drakken's head. At first they seemed like dreams, but the more he had the more he realized they were something else entirely.

They were memories.

He was reading a newspaper in his favorite armchair. He reached over and took his coffee cup off of the table, then took a sip. Nothing new in the news.

Stephanie had been out, but just after he finished his coffee she returned. "Hi, honey," she said brightly, her face alight with joy.

He smiled at his wife. "Hey."

She walked over and sat in his lap. "I have some great news," she said.

"Hmm?" he said, now engrossed in the funnies section.

For one moment Stephanie was nervous, but she swallowed her fear and went ahead. "Honey, we're having a baby…"

Drakken jerked awake and tried to sit upright, which would have been okay if he wasn't tied to a table. There was a cracking noise, and he remembered where he was.

"Ow…"

Ron looked over at Drakken, who appeared to be awake. "Hey! Um…got any ideas? 'Cause Kim and Shego are about to be boiled…"

Drakken frowned. "Argh….what was that, er, Ron?"

"I said, they're about to be boiled in acid," Ron repeated.

Stephanie's in trouble! Drakken thought. Wait, who's Stephanie?

"Um, just wait a second…"

Drakken carefully put his hand in his lab pocket and pulled out a pen. He brought it over to his other hand and began to take it apart.

"Drakken!" Ron warned. Shego and Kim were less than five feet above the acid now.

"Give me a second…" Drakken said, concentrating on pulling the plastic covering off of the metal part of the pen. He could feel it breaking…. "Got it!" Drakken exclaimed triumphantly. Unfortunately, he exclaimed it a little bit too loudly, and Hego heard him.

"What are you doing?" he asked sharply. Hego strode over to Ron and Drakken, effectively taking his attention off of Kim and Shego.

"We're not doing anything," Drakken said.

Hego raised an eyebrow. "Oh, really? Then what's that in your hand?"

Drakken tried futilely to hide his "key". "It's nothing!" he said in a squeaky voice.

Hego scowled at Drakken and took the pen away. "I'll take that," he said.

Fortunately while Drakken was distracting Hego, Kim and Shego were able to wiggle free and jump to safety.

"You okay?" Shego asked Kim once they were back on solid ground. Kim nodded.

"Let's get to work," Shego said grimly.

Shego made quick work of Hego, with a little help from Kim. They left him tied up in titanium handcuffs so he couldn't escape before the police came.

Shego, Kim, Ron, and Drakken were all standing outside the building where Hego had been.
"Well, uh…thanks," Shego said, obviously uncomfortable.

Kim smiled sadly. "So not the drama," she said.

When she got home, Kim went upstairs without saying hello to anyone and locked herself in her room.


A/N: Woo! Well, that's chapter three! I hope you like. And, I BETTER get a few reviews…please? I hate begging, but I really do enjoy reading what you all think.
