My answer to a challenge by pbow in the forum "Challenges". Originally I thought this may be a one-shot, but decided to make it a little more. It will still be kinda short, maybe no more than 4 chapters.

Of Mice and Drakken
Drakken had always been one to keep up on certain aspects of the scientific community. But he seemed to limit himself. He didn't watch out for the little things. In fact, little things could be the downfall of great things. In fact, it was a small microbe that killed off Napoleon's army. The world could be gravely different if that deadly microbe hadn't killed off his forces.
So he almost paid no attention to a small article that was written in some obscure scientific journal. An article about a couple of mice that had been experimented on.
By using genetic manipulation, this doctor was able to take the intelligence of one mouse, and double it by combining it with another. In fact it did more than double it, it made the one mouse a genius! The only thing that went wrong was that the other mouse he used had become pretty much an idiot. In fact, he wasn't even sure if the other scrawny looking thing would live much longer. Dr. Warner published the results, left the mice in a cage in his office, and went on to work on other things. He actually had no idea what he had a created.
Dr. Drakken however, knew that there was technology to be had! If he could find these mice, he could possibly rule the world!

"Well, Brain, what are we going to do today?"
"What we do everyday, Pinky. Try to take over the world!"
Brain immediately then reached his tiny paw through the bars of the cage, and flipped the latch so they could get out. This time would be different! He was sure of it!
The office was dark, since it was about 1 o'clock in the morning. The two little mice scampered along the tabletop, and slid down the leg of the table. Brain went first, and Pinky came sliding down, landing on top of Brain.
"Pinky! Watch what you're doing!" He said, rubbing the bump forming on his head. "Now let's get out of here, and get on with our plan."
"Just what is our plan, Brain?"
"Umm, I don't have one now, but I'm sure I will come up with one."
Just as they headed towards the door, Brain saw a figure through the glass window. "Pinky, get down!" The two scampered behind a trash can.

Shego easily found the Doctors office that Dr. Drakken had told her about. She couldn't believe his name was blazoned across the door. Shouldn't he be laying low if he had developed something as sinister as what her boss thought he had?
Also, why did she have to capture a couple of mice? Mice! She was so above this! Looking around the room, her eyes landed on the small cage.
"Great." She muttered under her breath. "The damn things escaped."
Suddenly she caught some movement out of the corner of her eye. "There you are!"
Just as the two mice started to scurry out from behind the trash can, Shego shut the door, and placed a foot in front of them. The two skidded to a stop, and started to run the opposite way. She could have sworn she heard one of them speak! Nah… I must be hearing things.
She grabbed the trashcan, dumped out its contents, and was able to slap the open end over her targets. She placed her head down near the floor by the trashcan, and lifted it a bit to see if they were indeed caught. She was rewarded with a punch in her eye!
"Why you little!" Shego said with anger, and she lit a finger with plasma.
Suddenly Shego heard a small, but yet commanding voice. "My dear, we really shouldn't be fighting."
"Huh? What?" She looked around the room, wondering where the voice had come from. She then lifted the trashcan, and looked at the two mice, who just stood there, looking up at her. "Nah, couldn't be." She mumbled.
"But yet, it is." The voice said again. "I can see you are not a person to be trifled with, so let's just cut to the chase, shall we?"
Shego leaned over, dropping the can to the side, not believing her ears! The mice could talk! "Huh?"
"I think we've got a smart one here, Pinky."
"Are you sure Brain? I mean, she's looking at us like we're crazy or something."
"Be that as it may, Miss? I don't believe we have been properly introduced. I apologize for that. My name is Brain, and my cohort here, is Pinky. I believe you were looking for us?"
"Uhh, uh, yeah." Shego said, blinking twice.
"So, what do you intend to do with us? We won't try to run. I can see you are quite a fighter, and you can apparently create plasma at will with your hands. " Brain said matter of factly, pointing at her still ignited finger.
Shego shook her hand to extinguish the small flame. "H… how is it that you can t… talk?"
"Quite simple really, Dr. Warner just took the valence electrons in the occipital lobe of our brains… wait. What am I doing? We have introduced ourselves, now what is your name?"
"M… my name?" Shego was still slightly stunned that she was talking with a mouse! "I… I'm Shego."
"Well, Shego, could you please place us on the table behind you so I can speak to you better? Looking up at you is quite a literal pain in the neck."
"Ummm, Ok. Sorry." Shego picked up the two mice, and set them on the table that Brain had indicated. She then sat on a chair so she could look them straight in the face.
"Yes, much better. So Shego. Why are you here to take us?"
"Uhmm, I… Dr. Drakken needs you to study so he can figure out how to make himself smarter."
"Interesting concept. What are his plans after that?"
"Well, he wants to take over the world. What else?"
"Really?" Brain said, his mind whirring with ideas. Brain then turned to Pinky. "Pinky? Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
"Gee Brain, I don't know. But where are we going to get a tire and a dingo at this time of night?" Brain slapped his face and groaned as he slid his paw down his nose.
Brain whispered in Pinky's ear. "We will go see this Dr. Drakken, turn his idea around against him, and then we will take over the world ourselves!"
"Oh goody!" Pinky said as he danced gleefully, clapping his small paws.
"Miss Shego? We will go with you willingly to see your… Dr. Drakken.
Shego then picked the two mice up, and went out to her jet, which was hovering just above the street.
"Ah… hover technology. Most interesting." Brain said with wonder to no one in particular. Shego stepped into her jet, placed the mice in a small box in the seat next to her, and took off back for the lair.
They arrived after about an hour, and Shego walked in to the lair's kitchen, where Drakken was, and very unceremoniously dropped it on the table. "Hey!" The two mice exclaimed at being dropped.
"There's your mice, Drakken. Now I'm going to take a nap. So don't bug me!" She left the kitchen, went into her room, and slammed the door shut.
"Oh goody. Let's see what we have here?" Drakken said as he walked up to the box on the table. He peered into the box and saw two white mice. One with a slightly enlarged head, and the other, a scrawny little, almost nerd looking, mouse.
Ideas began to course through his mind. First, I'll scan their minds, see just how smart they actually are. Then I'll attempt to back engineer these rodents and…
"Well, are we going to stare at each other all day, or are we going to take over the world?"
"Say wha…?" Drakken was taken aback. Did that mouse just speak? "D… did you just s… speak?"
"Yes I did, you Buffoon. Now shall we get down to business?"
Immediately Drakken bristled. "What did you just call me?"
"I'm sorry. How about, Blue Boy? Or maybe…"
"That's quite enough. I will not be ordered around by a mere… mouse."
"Well, if you do not listen to me, then you will not e able to take over the world."
To be continued…
What y'all think so far? Let me know…
