Disclaimer: Egads! I would never have guessed that Disney owns Kim Possible and I don't. I guess that's why I'm not getting paid for writing this story. I do own the character Blackout. (And he IS a character, isn't he!) But he doesn't pay me either. Oh, well. Such is life.

Chapter 14 Shego's Shock

"Listen Blackie!" Shego said, exasperated. "Explain it to me one more time. Why won't you let me go in that one room?"

Blackout walked over to her and brushed her cheek with the back of his hand. "Dearest Shego. You have the run of my lair, except for the one room. Isn't that enough?" His finger circled her lips and she started to swoon a bit. "You also have me," he cooed, "any time you want." He quickly turned and walked away. "A woman is entitled to her secrets, why can't a man have a few also?"

Shego snapped out of her slight haze. "No! This is suppose to be a full partnership. In my book that means no secrets! PERIOD!"

Blackout sighed. "Very well. Here's the key." He threw her a single door key. She raced over to the entry. "You won't understand though."

Shego hastily unlocked the door and swung it wide. She gasped. "What the... It's just an empty white room. What's so special about it? Why can't I go in?"

"You might have noticed," he tried to explain, "I have a few... foibles. This is one of them." Shego started to take a step into the room. Blackout went ballistic. "DON'T GO IN THERE!"

Shego paused, one foot in the air, ready to enter. She turned to him as he ran and wrapped his arms around her. "Please don't go in there," he said almost inaudibly.

Shego put her arms around his neck and hugged him. They had only been partners a few weeks, but she had learned his mood swings. This one was rare. He was now very frightened; Almost child-like. She knew it would pass quickly so she kicked the door closed with her heel and waited.

After a minute his breathing shallowed and she could feel his heart stop pounding in his chest. She patted his back and cooed, "It's O.K., I won't go in. Just... tell me why." She paused and winced as she said the one word she hated, "Please?"

Blackout clung to her and took a deep breath. "I... it's... it's my meditation room. I had it cleansed by an Indian Mystic. If anyone else goes in... I wouldn't be able to use it."

Shego hugged Blackout. "There. That wasn't so hard. Now that I know, I won't go in. I won't spoil the Mojo." She bent down and kissed him on the forehead.

As they separated, Shego ignite a finger and touched his chest. Blackout flew across the room. "That's for making me say please!" She screamed and stormed off to her bedroom, slamming the door.

Blackout smiled as he got up and dusted himself off. He walked to the door and, retrieving the key, entered and closed the door behind him. He reached down and flipped an invisible switch that was only a foot off the floor. The room shimmered and all sorts of equipment appeared. He took off his cape and hat and hung them on the coat stand just inside the door, placing his cane in the corner. He walked over to the desk and logged on to the computer.

"That little fib will keep her out of here." He rubbed his chest. "But it was a little painful."

Blackout noticed that Dr. Drakken had his Instant Message turned on. (His IM conversation with Drakken follows.)

BO: Hey Drakforceone, how's things?

Drakforceone: Getting better every day. The docs say 2 month b4 I get out, but I say 2 weeks.

BO: You wouldn't be in there if you'd stayed in the control room. But no, u had to watch the rocket go up.

Drakforceone: I know, I know. Thanx for pulling me out.

BO: No prob. BTW, I've teamed with your former employee. We put the smack on your arch. Black eye, shoulder and leg. She might be out for a while.

Drakforceone: Good for u! Wish I coulda seen. Did Sheg zap KP good?

BO: No, her... talents don't work when in my suit. I'm working on it tho. Gotta go and check on sales from the plunder.

Drakforceone: Nice chatting. Keep in touch.

Blackout logged off the IM and went in to his encrypted messages. One was from a 'Dr. Betty.' It read, "Will buy the lot. Name your price."

"Hmmm, so G.J. wants to buy everything. That's interesting. Though I'll probably get more selling the plans off individually. Here's one from a Japanese company that wants to buy the Heavy Universal Ray Technology, but their bid is low. I'll wait on selling the H.U.R.T. System."

Blackout spent another ten minutes going through the different bids. He logged out of his encryption program to surf the web for news.

Suddenly, he collapsed on the desk. Slowly he regained his bearings. Like someone turning on a light switch, his demeanor changed. Glancing around the room, he thought, "How did I get in here? Last I remember I was... Oh, never mind." He looked at the computer screen. He was logged in at www.villainsweekly. He scanned the different entries of what scheme each Super Villain was hatching, where their lair was and, on a special page, which villain was in what prison. He returned to the Super Villains page and took some notes. "I can't do anything about them as Paul Bowman, but as Whiteout, my alias, I can. I'll email this information to Team Possible," he thought. "This scoundrel Blackout looks to be a real baddie. they should go after him next."

He opened his email center and started to type a message. Abruptly, his fingers wouldn't work. Try as he may, he couldn't write the message to Team Possible. "I've sent emails to them before, why can I write this one?" Frustrated, he abandoned the attempt and logged off.

As he got up from the chair, he swooned again. When he regained consciousness, his Blackout persona had returned. He grabbed his cane and, donning his cape and hat, exited and locked the room.

He strolled to Shego's room and tapped lightly on the door with the cane. "Shego... I'm sorry. Please forgive me," he cooed. I really do apologize for making you say the 'P' word."

He heard rustling behind the door. It slowly opened. A stern faced Shego glared at him.

"I don't know any way to beg your forgiveness because what I did was unforgivable." Blackout smiled and added, "Did I show you my new cane?"

This caught her completely off guard. "N.. No," she stammered.

"It's very special. Of my own making. I call it a stun cane," he said proudly, twirling it in his hand. "I used it on Stoppable." He touched the walking tip to Shego's chest. The electric charge from the cane sent her flying onto the bed.

He turned and growled, "Now we're even!"
