Trio

Chapter 8

In the Shadows.

Your author here. After the overwhelming positive response my story has been getting in the reviews I felt I just had to take a moment to thank you all.

To those that say I have been keeping the characters 'in character' I thank you deeply. To me that is the epitome of fanfiction writing. To take characters that you like (after all if you didn't like the characters…Why would you write about them?) and put them into situations we haven't seen before but still manage to do it in a way where a majority can say, 'yeah I can see them acting that way if something like that were to happen to them.'

So when someone tells me that I am doing just that.

Well, let's just say that I feel like pulling a Jim Carey from the movie The Mask and clutch a tiny statue and keep repeating, "You like me! You really like me!"

Oh and I should tell you all that I'm writing this as I post it so I have no idea how many more chapters it will be or when I think it might end. As long as the muse leads me, I shall follow her. Okay time to get to the story.

Ron lay on the floor with his back propped up against a vaguely car shaped form in the gloom of a shadowy warehouse sized room. Dr. Director called it the holographic simulations room.

Basically the room when in use projected very realistic holograms on some basic shapes so agents in training could learn when to shoot or when to run. Right now the fancy holographic projectors were off leaving a room with just a few safety lights glowing and the strange block shapes.

Shego had asked if they used hologram why the basic blocky shapes?

Dr. Director had smiled and replied they added the solid forms when too many cocky agent recruits tried to walk and dive through some cars and mail boxes. Never knowing when they were facing something solid or holographic kept them honest during training.

Dr. Director and Oracle were sitting near the entrance to the room listening to the hallway outside while Shego had dragged Ron and Kim farther into the darkened room and had sit them down to get some rest. While they had slept well this morning, it wasn't nearly long enough.

As soon as Ron sat down, Kim and Shego took either side of him and started to cuddle. Their positions so similar to the way Ron started his morning he couldn't keep a smile from his face. If he had only know then what he knew now, they would still have been safely at home doing…

Ron's smile grew larger thinking what they would have been doing.

"Wow, my imagination is really good. It almost feels like Shego's hand is caressing my chest right…"

"Shego, what are you doing?" Ron managed to ask fairly calmly considering Shego had wormed one of her hands under his shirt and was gently scratching and tweaking his chest with her fingernails.

His breath caught in his throat however when he looked over at her and found his face only a few inches from hers. Even in the gloom of the darkened room Ron could make out every contour of Shego's face and could see into her eyes clearly.

"So that is what is meant by a 'smoldering' gaze'." He thought to himself as he stared into her emerald green eyes. "Her and Kim have the exact same shade of green eyes. I never realized that till just now. No wonder I'm so attracted to her."

"Well if you can't tell I must not be doing it quite right." Shego smirked and tweaked a nipple on his chest again.

"Shego. Are you always so…" Ron paused as he tried to think of the right word.

"Horny Ron, the word is horny. And yes, yes I am. You try living like some kind of nun for three years in lair after lair with Dr. Drakken then get rescued by some kind of Sir Galahad that not only saves your worthless ass but then also worries if you are really happy in your life and see how horny you get." Shego purred at him.

Ron frowned. "Now I have the term horny and Dr. Drakken inside my mind at the same time, bad mental place."

Shego frowned too. "Yeah that is kind of a mood killer. So let's forget old 'blue and whinny' and just concentrate on what me and Kimmie are going to do to you."

"Shego! This is hardly the time and place for this. We've got a source of some really bad mojo a few floors beneath us and for the lack of a better word some evil inducing zombies wondering the hallways."

"That is why I think it is the perfect place and time." Shego interrupted him; pulling her hand from inside his shirt she raised herself slightly so she could stare into his eyes better.

Ron looking into her eyes was shocked to see something he thought he would never see in her eyes, desperation and fear.

Shego her voice almost quivering in emotion said. "All my life the things I've really really wanted have tended to just vanish. And I really really want you and Kimmie. I have this terrible feeling that something is going to happen and I'm either going to lose you or Kimmie or something will happen to me before we get a chance to…"

Ron stopped her by raising his head and softly kissing her lips.

"Stop worrying Shego. I am not going to let anything happen to either you or Kim. I would rather die first."

"Um Ron? That is kind of one of the things that I am afraid of, remember? I don't want you to promise to die for me; I want you to promise to live for me." Shego sighed.

"I've never given two thoughts to the future before but now I want to grow old with you and Kimmie. I want us to end up as a trio of old farts sitting on a porch in rocking chairs, you in the middle and me and Kimmie on either side. And I'm telling you right now Ronnie, you better keep in good health and stock up on Viagra when you hit 80 cause I plan to be a very vigorous old woman and if I know princess half as well as I think I do, she'll be right along beside me giving you a run for your money."

A mental image of himself as an elderly old man trying to escape with a walker while a slightly graying but still horny Shego and Kim leapt and flipped over him to capture him, came to Ron's mind. And he had to admit to himself while he was in no hurry to grow old that was one mental image he wanted to live to see. He wanted it very very badly.

"I promise Shego. We all are going to live to see that day." He told her solemnly.

The fear and desperation in Shego's eyes didn't go away completely but she nodded her head. "I'm holding you to that Stoppable. You better not let me down or I'm going to kick your ass and I'm willing to bet Kim will hold you down so I can do it too. And speaking of Kimmie, do you think she would be too angry if I were to kiss you again while she is asleep?"

Ron's eyes widened and he then replied dryly. "I don't think she would mind us kissing but she might be a little annoyed with your hand inside my pants."

Shego frowned. "Um Ron? My left hand is underneath your back and my right hand is right here." She said raising her right hand and waving in front of Ron's face.

"Huh? But then… Kim!" Ron squeaked as he turned his head to stare at Kim whose head was lying on his other shoulder.

Kim slowly turned her head up to look at him, her red hair slowly flowing away from her face to reveal her own green eyes twinkling in the shadowy room.

"Oops?" Kim said with the tiniest of smirks on her face.

Both Shego and Kim could feel Ron stiffen and not in the good way as he tensed up.

"Um Kim? What are you…? I mean… You touching me… There?

Kim's eyes started to become stormy looking. "Oh so it is okay if Shego gropes and feels you up but I'm not allowed to?" And then almost as if she had a moodulator on her again her face changed emotions instantly. Her lip began to quiver and she looked like she was about to cry.

"Don't you want me to touch you? Don't you want to touch me?"

"It's not like that Kim! Of course I want you. It's just…" Ron's face began to look like he was going to cry too. He was causing his soul mate pain and he just wasn't sure what to do about it.

It was Shego who came to his rescue. "Kimmie be fair! Ron has grown up with you. He spent a life time putting you on a pedestal and worshiping you. You were and are his perfect goddess and now he has to deal with the thought you want to get hot and sweaty with him. Hell I wouldn't be surprised to find out Ron felt guilty every time he fantasized about you and him in the privacy of his own room."

Both Kim and Shego could see in the gloom of the room as Ron's face turned bright red in embarrassment.

"You have fantasized about me then?" Kim asked, her face looking hopeful.

"Um, well yeah. Not all the time I promise! But there have been times when I have thought about it." Ron replied nervously. The last thing he wanted Kim to do is think he was some kind of pervert and be disgusted with him. He didn't want her to review her memories and begin to wonder if all those times he struggled to climb a mountain or stormed a lair with her and ended up behind was because he was staring at her ass.

Which… Was exactly why he always ended up behind her, but Ron didn't want her to know that.

"Have you ever fantasized about me?" He asked back.

Kim's eyes widened. She was stuck. She had noticed a while back that Ron had gotten cute and that their adventures had filled his body out but she hadn't let herself go beyond simple noticing to really fantasizing about him. He was Ron for god's sake! Her rock, her anchor that kept her grounded when she almost got lost in her inherent 'Kimness' as Ron put it, which was just a nice way of saying when she got too stubborn or fixated on something for her own good.

Ron realized what her continuing silence meant. Even though he had trouble thinking of his Kim even having sexual fantasies or thoughts, it would have been nice to find out that at least one of them had been about him.

"That's okay Kim. I understand. I'm not the kind of material for inspiring fantasies…" Ron began, his face slowly draining of expression.

Kim pulled herself up till she was staring directly into his eyes so Ron could see the truth in her eyes.

"Ron it has nothing to do with you! It was me. I was too stupid to see what was right under my nose! You've inspired a lot of fantasies in a lot of girls. I've overheard Tara mentioning she daydreamed about you and I'm sure Zita thought about you. I even bet that little Japanese tart Yori fantasizes about you… A lot." The last part was almost growled.

"Kimmie is there anything I should know about these other girls? I mean is there anyone I should be considering for a toasting?" Shego asked.

"Tara and Zita have moved on but if Yori shows up, feel free to toast away."

"Kim! Yori is just a friend." Ron turned to look at Shego. "She's joking about Yori."

Shego could see Kim shaking her head at her about joking about this Yori person but stopped it as soon as Ron turned to look back at her.

"I'm fantasizing about you now Ron. And more importantly I don't just want to fantasize, I want to do it! So Ronald Stoppable you take me off whatever pedestal you have put me on in your mind and get ready to treat me like a real living sexual desiring person." Kim told him in a no nonsense manner. She then kissed him and tried to put every ounce of her desire into said kiss.

Shego smiled as the kiss continued. And continued. She started to frown as the kiss continued.

"Aww come on! Shego wants some too." She nearly whined.

Finally Ron and Kim broke their kiss and both were breathing kind of heavy. Ron looked over at Shego and surprised her by asking.

"Fine but which one of us do you want to kiss?"

Shego considered for a moment. "Well Ronnie you melt my socks when you kiss me, but I've kissed you and I know what it feels like. I haven't kissed princess yet and it is only fair that if you got to…" Shego was stopped as Kim reached across Ron's prone body and taking Shego by the back of her head dragged her face over and gave a lip lock to the slightly older woman.

Even though Ron thought it was slightly dangerous to lose focus in their current situation he couldn't stop from raising his hands up and stroking the backs of the women who were kissing over him while he watched them

After what seemed like hours but was really only a few minutes Shego and Kim released their kiss.

Shego was breathing heavily and Kim had a look of sheer bliss on her face.

"Damn, she kisses nearly as well as you do Ronnie." Shego finally managed to say.

Kim mock frowned. "Well I guess I'll just have to kiss Ron more often so I have something to compare it with and then practice kissing you till I'm just as good as it as he is."

There's no telling how far the heated situation might have gotten if it hadn't been for a tiny. "Ahem!" from near their feet.

Looking down Ron spotted Rufus with his arms folded looking at them.

"What's the haps Little Buddy?" He asked.

"Director. Director." Rufus repeated and then pointed back towards the doors they came in by.

"I think Dr. Director is looking for us." Ron told Shego and Kim with a sigh.

Rufus nodded his head vigorously.

"Well at least she sent Rufus instead of catching us like this. It might have been a little hard to explain what was going on if it had been her." Kim said as she rose.

"The woman is head of Global Justice. I'm sure she's seen or been in a few threesomes before." Shego replied as she got up and together with Kim helped Ron to his feet. Shego looked down and smiling she tapped Ron on the shoulder.

"Um I think you might want to zip up. Our little Kimmie unzipped your trousers it would appear during her 'explorations'."

Ron spun around and zipping noises were heard while Kim just blushed.

Eventually the three made their way over to where Dr. Director sat next to the doors to the room. Oracle was sitting against the doors with his ear pressed against them listening to corridor outside.

"Dr. Director." Ron addressed her. "Any news?"

"I've managed to contact our agents near the surface entry points. I've explained the situation as best as I could to them and have instructed them to lock down the complex. Under no circumstances are they to let any of these… 'Deadites' escape to the outside world. But I was informed of something most peculiar. Seems while I was talking to one of the secret surface entry locations, a strange man walked in. Reports say he is wearing blue levi pants, a blue denim shirt and appears to have a metal hand. He was carrying a double barreled shotgun on a scabbard on his back. When my men tried to detain him or turn him back he decked them with his metal hand and forced his way into the complex."

Dr. Director quickly informed them.

"So let me guess this straight. A top secret elite police organization not only has some kind of evil zombies flooding up from it's depths that were created when one of your agents decided to play with a item of immense evil that Ron practically begged you to bury deep and not let anyone experiment on but we also have some kind of armed wacko coming down from above, through a armed and hidden entrance for purposes we have no idea what for?" Shego asked sarcastically with her arms folded across her chest.

Dr. Director's lip compressed into a thin line in anger but she couldn't very well argue. Shego's analysis was correct. It was certainly not a shining day for Global Justice or its agents.

"Your observation while not flattering to Global Justice is unfortunately accurate." Was all she said.

Oracle at the doors waved his hands at them frantically. "I think I might hear something outside the doors." He whispered.

Suddenly the door he was leaning on whipped open and before anyone could react dozens of blackened hands grabbed the tubby man and pulled him screaming out into the corridor. Moments later the doorway was filled with horrible looking things that used to be Global Justice agents and personnel.

Black spider web like veins crossed their faces and their eyes were all milky white. Their lips were pitch black and they drooled thick globs of spittle.

"Oh…" Kim started.

"Shit!" Shego shouted as the creatures started to flood into the room

"Where is the backdoor to this room?" She screamed at a stunned Dr. Director.

"It doesn't have a backdoor." The woman replied.

"Where do you want one!" Shego shouted as she fired up her plasma fire around her hands.

"There is another corridor outside that wall." Dr. Director replied pointing to the side.

Ron, his own hands glowing slightly with a blue light boldly picked up Kim and Dr. Director and slung them over his shoulder. He was already in motion when Shego slammed a huge fireball into the side wall knocking out a hole.

With the creatures in hot pursuit, they fled out through the hole.

"So much for hoping they would pass us by so we could sneak down. What do we do now Ron?" Shego asked.

Ron risked turning to look back behind him could see the shambling creatures were right on their heels replied. "I think at the moment continuing to run is a good option."
