I don't own a thing, Disney does. Don't people know that when it's you're day off, you don't want to work? I was hoping to put together a multi-chappie day today, and don't even get to start on this until 11:30 at night and finished it in the morning. Oh well, I should have more chances to write now that I'm getting the hang of the new schedule. And just to warn, I went to an M rating, to give myself more freedom. This chapter will contain some graphic violence and sexual situations. Viewer discretion is advised!

Life Changes – Chapter 5

I just had to play the God damned hero, didn't I? A month ago, I would have just walked away from this, but now, here I fucking am, a gun pointed at my head, and all I've got running through my head is some freaking O Boys song! I swear, if I get out of this, I am going to give Stoppable a serious beating for talking me into this!

Shego looked up to see the smiling face of the man who was going to kill her, and sneered up at him.

"Any final words?"

"Yeah, go to hell!"

The loud sound that followed caused her to wince and close her eyes. She expected any number of sensations, but the lack of pain caused her to open her eyes. The sight before her shocked her.

Everyone was standing around, looking at their leader, shock evident on their faces, as they stared at the bloody stump that had been the man's gun hand. Mohammad had evidently already gone into shock, as all he could do was stare at the remains of his hand, blood spurting forth. All was silent for about two seconds, the only thing disturbing the silence was the steady beating of the man's blood as it hit the floor, and then he screamed, as the pain from the exposed and shattered nerve endings reached his brain. Two more shots rang out, and Shego could see the blossoms of blood expand on the chests of two more men, before they were roughly thrown back from the impact.

"Shego, get your ass in gear! This is not a family barbeque!"

Shego snapped out of it, quickly igniting her hands, extending the fire as far up her arms as she could, eliciting screams from the men holding her arms. When she felt the pressure lessen, she jerked herself up, and threw herself at the nearest cluster of men. The warehouse became a sea of chaos, as Shego took advantage of the distraction. She quickly dispatched five more terrorists before they managed to comport themselves, and when she saw the guns being drawn, she dove for cover behind a couple of boxes. Steve, ducked low, just glanced at her before she dove for cover. She saw the large rifle in his hands, and just glared at him.

"What the hell were you doing firing that thing in here? You do know what would have happened if you had hit even one of those bottles, don't you?"

Barkin just grinned. "Yes, a very painful death. That's why I made sure, on the very slim chance I missed, that there was no way I would hit anything. Oh, and you're welcome!"

Shego just growled at him. "So what's the plan now? I still count at least twenty guys out there, and while they're not shooting at us right now, they can still take us down with sheer numbers!"

"Well, we bought ourselves some time, so our backup should be here in about four minutes. Think you can last that long?"

Shego just smiled at him. "Stamina's never been a problem for me. Patience however, that's another story!"

With that, Shego threw herself over the boxes, carefully aiming her blasts away from any of the remaining boxes. There weren't many targets to go for, most huddled near the chemicals to prevent fire coming down on them, but there were enough to inflict some casualties on the men. Nothing fatal, but they wouldn't be getting up any time soon. As she leapt across the room, she made sure to keep herself placed near the boxes herself. She heard a couple shots ring out, but heard brief yelling to cease fire. Satisfied that she had taken out all the stragglers she could, she dove back to cover. She landed a bit awkwardly, and impacted heavily against one of the boxes. She cringed when she heard the glass inside, but sighed lightly when she didn't hear shattering.

Shego looked up at Steve and smiled. "Six more down, and I probably bought us at least two more minutes."

Steve just shook his head, and peeked out from his cover. "Well, at least these guys aren't complete fanaticals. I half expected they'd try releasing this stuff now, just to prevent capture. That should work in our favour!"

A loud explosion echoed through the room, and Shego caught a glimpse of one of the steel cargo doors coming off it's mooring. Soldiers, in full military gear and vests, wielding rather large sub-machine guns, came pouring through the opening. A brief few seconds of chaos ensued, followed by some brief shooting, and Shego poked her head out from their cover. The terrorists were lowering their weapons, and each man was quickly bound and taken away.

When Shego stood, she instantly felt over a dozen guns pointing her way. "Settle down boys. I'm one of the white hats today!"

A couple of the soldiers made a move towards her, but stopped when Steve stepped out. "Agent Barkin, Global Justice. She's with me, and we're the ones that brought you in."

A cursory look to their superior, and they backed off. Steve automatically went into soldier mode himself, issuing orders and selecting particular prisoners for interrogation. Shego just sat back, watching him work. When the prisoners had been carted away, Steve walked up to her.

"You did a good job. I'm a little surprised you didn't wait for backup though. It's not something your psych profile predicted would be normal behavior for you."

"Yeah, I'm just full of surprises. Can we get out of here now?"

Steve just looked at her briefly, and noticed the brief shuffling of her feet, the set of her face. "Yeah, we can get out of here. Local agents will be handling the interrogations, so there's nothing we need to stick around for."

Shego just turned quickly, walking from the warehouse, and Steve walked quickly up behind, following her out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shego lay back in her bed, confusion evident. Why the hell did I do that? I've never been the self-sacrificing type, even in my hero days. And now, twice in two weeks, I throw myself into a dangerous situation, one I am likely to get very hurt or killed doing. I mean, the thing with Monkey Fist was personal, but this? What the hell is wrong with me? Stoppable must have gotten to me, that's all there is to it!

And Steve… he saved my life tonight! Five seconds more, and I would have been a smear they would be forced to clean up. I mean, even he told me to wait, and while I don't usually listen to anyone that is one order I generally follow! What the hell is wrong with me? Do I have some kind of death wish or something?

Damn, too much tension to sleep. I need to get rid of some of this energy…

Shego threw something on quickly, and left her room. She was walking down the hallway, intent on hitting the gym, when she heard slight snoring emanating from one of the bedrooms. A smile quickly crossed her face.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steve looked down at Shego, resplendent in all her naked glory. Her chest heaved in time with his as he slowly caressed her exotic skin. He started placing small kisses up and down her arms and neck, listening as her breath came back in short gasps from the intimate contact. One hand was carefully kneading the twin globes, while his other made its way down to her firm, supple backside. She moaned, and Steve knew he had found the right spot.

He felt a hand fondling him, and smiled. Shego leaned in, nibbling quickly on his ear. She pulled back slightly, and he could feel her hot breath, almost caressing his ear.

"Steve… time to wake up!"

Steve's eyes opened, and he almost regretted it. Half asleep, he failed to notice the presence in the room, that is until he realized he could still feel the pressure on his groin, a slight stroking that felt exactly like in his dream. His eyes opened wide, and he could make out the figure in the darkness. It was unmistakable!

"Shego… what… why…?"

Shego just leaned in, a sly smile on her face. "I had a little tension to work out, and you were closer than the gym was. Nice to see you got this ready for me!"

Steve raised his head slightly, and could see her hand moving under the covers, slowly stroking him to ever increasing hardness.

"Shego… I don't think this is such a good idea. Co-workers dating never turns out well, and I really don't think…"

Shego just laughed, halting him mid-speech, her hand never stopping its motions. "Steve, I'm not looking for a relationship here, let alone any kind of commitment. I told you, I had some tension to work out, and this should do nicely!"

Shego quickly flipped the covers over, exposing his naked waist to the cool air. Steve marveled that she had been able to work his shorts down and off without him waking, and quickly realized just how tired he had been. All thoughts of sleep disappeared though as she increased the tempo, and he couldn't help letting out a small moan.

"Shego… really… we shouldn't be doing this."

Shego just bent lower, the smile never leaving her face. "Hmm… you need a little more convincing, do you?" She lowered herself down his body, allowing her breath to trail over his body as she moved lower. Goosebumps rose on the exposed skin, and all he could do was watch, no strength at all in him to try and fight this.

She slowed the tempo of her hand, and Steve lifted his head to see what was going on. He looked up just in time to see her engulf the head in her mouth, and his head fell back as the sensations reached him, causing him to arch upward for more contact. Shego began slowly, sucking lightly on the head, and then running her tongue up and down the shaft. After about five minutes of this, she stopped.

"I guess you're not going to protest further?" Shego chuckled as she removed her robe. Before he could say anything, she moved on top of him, straddling him, and she quickly felt him penetrate her. He slid in easily, considering how worked up she was. She sank down slowly, enjoying the sensations as he slowly filled her. When she he was fully engulfed within her, she began to move, slowly at first, and than with ever increasing speed.

Steve's eyes were closed as he enjoyed the sensations. It had been some time for him, having to deal with so much keeping an eye on Team Possible, that he had never had time for much of a relationship with a woman. Now, here was this gorgeous, amazingly intelligent woman who, despite her words earlier, obviously liked him in some way. All thoughts of breaking the rules and not dating co-workers vanished as he reached his hand up to cup her heaving breasts, tweaking the nipple as best he could while she moved on top of him.

When Shego slowed, Steve took the initiative. With a quick twist of his hips, he rolled her over before she could react. He began driving into her, and now it was her turn to moan. He quickly lowered his head, taking first one nipple into his mouth and then the other, alternating the suckling of her breasts in time with his strokes into her. She arched herself up to meet him, and their movements became an erotic dance, undulating and pulsing to their own personal beat.

When she cried out, having achieved orgasm, she clamped down on him, and that was all he needed as well. Their cries of pleasure echoed through the room as all motion stopped, simply enjoying the sensations their act had wrought. With one final pulse, Steve collapsed on top of her, and he quickly rolled over beside her.

Panting like a dog, staring up at the ceiling, it was some time before Steve could collect himself enough to talk. "That… that was… Shego?"

Steve glanced over, and saw instantly that she was asleep. He smiled to himself as he got up. Throwing on his shorts again, he got back into bed, throwing one arm over her shoulder, holding her close.

"Goodnight… Susan." Steve closed his eyes, marveling at how warm her body felt next to his, and he slowly crossed over into sleep.

Author's Notes – OK, you can see why this story went right to M, don't you! I felt a need to push a few boundaries in this one, got a little mattb inspired, you know! I wasn't too sure how far to push it, so I tried to watch my wording just a little bit, since I'm trying for M and not X. Hope you enjoyed!

I'd like to thank the following for their reviews;

Campy – Yes, Shego's been a bad girl, especially after this chapter, and Stevie might be just the man to dish out her… punishment!

mattb3671 – Oh man, I know you could handle Shego, you'd just never be able to post the story here at all, no matter what the rating is!

MrDrP – Yeah, it's the personal that I'm really enjoying writing in this story, though the professional keeps the plot going.

J-Dawg – Yeah, I was just thinking about why Barkin was always there, and why he was always riding them in particular.

Worker72 – As you can see, she did.
