Chapter Two: Memories

London: Present

Kim took a deep breath as she wiped the sweat from her palms and cupped the pistol once again. She kissed the ring on her finger and slowly peeked around the corner. Under a streetlight, she saw a tall woman in a green and black dress looking back at her expectantly. In her gloved hand, a Glock 23. Kim threw her back against the wall expecting to see the brick erupt in a flurry of bullets. Instead a taunting voice from her past called out to her.

Shego: "Long time no see, Princess."

Kim: "Not long enough Shego."

Shego: "Hey, I see you're running with the big dogs now. Why don't you come out from there and we can catch up on old times."

Kim flicked the safety off on her gun and rounded the corner. Instead of looking Shego in the face as she had done in her youth, Kim's eyes immediately focused on her target's center mass. As soon as her mark was found, she scanned the surrounding buildings for any signs of life. Nothing, this neighborhood had long been abandoned and forgotten. Not seeing anyone else, Kim focused her full attention on Shego.

Kim: "Hold it right there. You so much as twitch and I'll…"

Shego: "What? Plug me? Fill full of lead? Please, I thought were past all this cliché cop and robber bullshit."

Kim: "Fair enough. Just drop the gun so we can get this over with."

Shego: "You mean this itty-bitty thing? (Raises her gun and takes aim on Kim) I don't think so?

Kim: "I SAID DROP IT!"

Kim's eyes narrowed. It couldn't end like this. The two years of blood and frustration her team had gone through were about to be in vain.

Middleton: 5 years ago

The crowd erupted in applause as Kimberly Anne Possible took the stage as Middleton High School's valedictorian. She could feel the blood rush to her face as she approached the podium. Kim had always been modest and all the attention was a bit much. As the crowd quieted down she could feel her throat begin to tighten, then she looked into the crowd and found a familiar face, Ron Stoppable. His grin was ear to ear as he shot her a thumbs up. A small pink mole rat peeked out from under his cap and gave her a tiny "OK" sign. A wave of warmth flowed over her as her muscles relaxed.

Kim: "Good morning and welcome to the Middleton High graduating Class of…"

Her words carried out over the crowd and conjured memories of the last four years for everyone in the crowd. Kim's mind also wandered as she sat down to let the principal speak. It had only been one year ago when her life changed forever. Her heart had been broken, Dr. Drakken had almost taken over the world, and she found the missing piece in her life all in the same night. At the Junior Prom, Ron and Kim's relationship blossomed in front of the entire student body. Their eyes shone as if they were seeing each other again for the first time. Most of the girls in attendance were jealous that Kim had achieved the perfect romantic, storybook ending to her story with Ron. The guys couldn't believe that Ron had managed to hook up with one of the most beautiful and sought after girls in school. But in the end, all agreed that it had been a long time in the making. No man there had what it took to keep up with Kim, and no woman had ever taken the time to look at Ron for what he truly was. The proverbial Yin and Yang of high school society had finally come together and it felt right.

Drakken and Shego were taken into custody by Interpol to face charges before and international war crimes tribunal in Stockholm, Sweden. The following months would be a whirlwind of investigations and news stories. Drakken's former henchmen were being rounded up all over the world. Charges ranged from Fraud all the way up to Crimes against Humanity. Drakken was sentenced to five consecutive one hundred year sentences with no chance for parole. Shego had been sentenced to fifty years for her involvement. Both of there were to serve their time in Maximum Security Isolation.

The rest of the world's so-called "super-villains" went into hiding following the announcement of Drakken's sentence. An example had been made that would not soon be forgotten. The days quieted down considerably from there. There were occasional rescue missions and the villain wannabes who tried to fill the vacant seats of criminal power left behind. However, the new crop of "super-villains" couldn't hold a candle to their predecessors who had long since abandoned their ambitions. As the weeks passed, Kim and Ron had fewer missions to get in the way of their newfound relationship with each other. They had even managed to find a university near Middleton that hosted degrees for both of their interests. Criminal Justice for Kim, and a top-notch culinary school for Ron.

An applause from the crowd roused Kim out of her thoughts. The last student to receive his diploma crossed the stage. After the last remarks from the District Super Intendant the student body flung their caps into the air as their graduating song blasted over the speakers. Kim and Ron found each other in the crowd as well as their friends.

Ron: "Well Kim, we did it! We finally did it!"

Kim: "Was there ever any doubt?"

Monique: "For him, yeah actually there was."

Ron: "Funny, real funny."

Felix: "Yeah, too bad fast food and video games wasn't a subject or he would've been standing up there instead of Kim."

Ron: "KIM!"

Kim: "Hey lay off my man or I'll pull out the mission gear."

Monique: "Listen to her. Miss Save-the-world sticking up for "her" man."

Kim: "Damn right. (Embraces Ron and gives him a deep kiss.) And don't you forget it."

Ron (Dazed): "That won't be a problem."

The group of friends shared a laugh as their families approached to congratulate them and take pictures. All of Kim's cheerleader friends came over to take pictures and exchange tearful moments. Even Bonnie Rockwaller came by to bury the hatchet with Kim after years of rivalry. As the crowd slowly began to disperse, Kim and Ron snuck away under the bleachers to have a private moment.

Kim: "So..."

Ron: "Yeah...so..."

Kim: "This has to be one of the best days of my life. I just want it to last forever."

Ron: "I know exactly how you feel."

They looked deeply into each other's eyes and moved closer together. Their lips had barely brushed against each other when they both noticed a movement out of the corner of their eyes. Startled, they broke away from each other and turned to see who had come upon them. Two men, both tall and stone faced. They wore dark suits and dark glasses. One stepped forward and removed his sunglasses as he spoke.

Man: "Ms. Kimberly Anne Possible and Mr. Ronald Adrian Stoppable?"

Kim: "Yes? Can we...help...you or something?"

Man: "As a matter of fact, you can. (The men reach into their coats and retrieve badges.) I'm Special Agent Grant, this is Special Agent Reeves; CIA. We need you to come with us now."

Ron: "What's this about?"

Grant: "Would you please just come with us? Everything will be explained shortly."

Kim: "Now hold on. I'm not going anywhere until I know what's going on."

Grant: "I certainly understand Ms. Possible but-"

Reeves: "Just get in the damn car before we have to make a scene."

Ron and Kim looked at the car that the man was pointing to. It was a black Oldsmobile sedan with government plates. In the back a small figure sat with a worried look on his face.

Ron and Kim: "WADE!"

London: Present

Kim was in the worst possible position she could think of; a face-off with one of the world's most notorious criminals and back-up was nowhere in sight. Shego's eyes were as cold as they ever were. She had hardly changed since the last time Kim had seen her. The same smirk, the same toned muscles, the same raven black hair. Shego's reappearance was an unexpected twist.

Kim: "So what are you doing here?"

Shego: "As a matter of fact, I came looking for you."

Kim: "Really now? And you didn't think you could get my attention by other means? Killing the Sumauri Defense Minister seems a tad much even for you."

(AN: As far as I know Sumauri is a made up country for the purposes of this story.)

Shego: "I just killed two birds with one stone. You'd been watching him for some time now, I just did you a favor."

Kim: "You better start making some sense."

Shego: "Amereshk was just a pawn. I know who you really want."

Kim: "And who might that be?"

Shego: "Drakken."

Kim: "Couldn't be, he's rotting in Stockholm."

Shego: "Like me?"

Kim: "Don't give me that. This is way out of his league. Even if he could get out, he'd never get this far."

Shego: "Who says he had to get out? Are you sure you even put him away in the first place? He had more than his share of surprises for you this last time out. How do you know he didn't have one more?"

Kim: "You're saying..."

Shego: "A clone, the bastard knew there was still a slim chance you could stop him. So he got out of there long before the fight even started. Didn't bother telling me though."

Kim: "But the "Maddness Project" is way over his head. How could he be involved in anyway?"

Shego: "All I know is he's back and a hell of a lot meaner. Tell the truth, he even scares me now. I barely got away from him to get here."

Kim: "So why me?"

Shego: "I'd heard you were on the job out here. And you were tracking "Maddness". Seemed like the only thing to do."

Kim: "So you know where he is."

Shego: "I do. Now if you don't mind, could we put these guns down? My arm's starting to get tired."

Kim: "Do what you want."

Shego: "Oh come on! If I'd wanted to, I would've pulled the trigger and been halfway to a McDonalds by now."

Unknown to the women, a dark figure watched them from the shadows with arms folded in front of him. An MP5 sub-machine gun rested on car hood next to him. He watched the entire scene intently and planned his next move. With both of them distracted, it would be so easy to end it here and continue on with his plans. Kim Possible and that traitor Shego would pay for the pain they had caused him.
