Drakken's Mountain Lair – three hours after the museum assault

Psygo hadn't awakened since he, Shego, Waygo, Leego, and Vaigo had escaped from the museum. Drakken wasn't too sure about letting strange people into his lair, but after the fight, Shego trusted them enough to at least let them in.

Drakken wasn't a medical doctor, but he knew enough first aid to at least patch up Psygo and get him into bed. Shego sat next to Psygo's bed, wondering what she was going to say to Psygo when he woke up. He had saved her from the very fate that he was going through right now. A simple thank you wasn't going to be enough.

Waygo stood in the doorway to Psygo's room looking in.

"Foolish. Absolutely foolish."

Shego shot a glare at Waygo.

"What was foolish? The fact that he saved my life or the fact that I haven't killed you yet?"

Waygo merely stood there as if Shego hadn't said anything at all. But the look of pity still hung on his face. Waygo started to turn and walk away, but Shego called out after him. He stopped momentarily so that she could catch up. The two began walking down the hallway.

"Who the hell was that back at the museum?" Shego asked, remembering the monster that had defeated them so easily.

Waygo stopped suddenly. His face deepened with what looked like anger and hatred.

"That was J-go. A former member of our team."

"He used to be with you guys?"

"Yeah, used to be. That was a long time ago."

"So, what happened?"

"Do you want the short version or the whole story?"

"Before this happened, I would have taken the short version. Now, I think I'll take the full story."

"Where can we have some privacy in this place?" Waygo asked, glancing up at the cameras.

Shego thought for a second, then almost smacked herself for the obvious answer.

"My room."

"Alright, we'll meet you there at ten'o clock."

"Fine," Shego said, her mind shifting back to Psygo.

Waygo noticed the distracted look on Shego's face.

"Go to him. He needs you right now."

"What are you talking about?"

"For someone who teases people about their imperfections, you're pretty stupid."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

Waygo merely laughed and walked away. Shego waited until he was out of sight, then walked back to Psygo's bedside. Nothing had changed, but Shego felt a little better. She was going to find out the truth about all of this.

The Possible household

Mrs. Dr. Possible was still treating Kim for her wounds. She had already treated Ron who was lying down on the couch. The fight was over. They had lost again. Kim winced slightly as her mother, once again, accidentally touched another bruise.

"Sorry, honey."

"It's alright, mom. I'll be fine."

Mrs. Possible finished with Kim's bandages as Kim slowly got up and put on a shirt. She made her way downstairs to see how Ron was doing. Ron was looking even more bummed out than he usually did after they lost to Psygo and Shego.

"What's the matter, Ron?"

"Oh, it's nothing, Kim."

Now Kim knew something was wrong. Unless she was in trouble or something was wrong, Ron never used Kim's name.

"Alright, Muscles. What's the matter?"

Kim had started calling Ron "Muscles" ever since they had gotten back from the museum. She seemed to like the nickname, so he wasn't about to stop her.

"I just…well…I used everything I had in that fight. And I still got my ass handed to me. It's kind of a downer."

"Yeah. I have to admit, Shego's been getting a lot better. Even with my battle suit, I was having trouble keeping up with her."

"And I thought for sure that I had Psygo on the ropes. Then that weird guy came and blew up half the museum."

"Speaking of which," Kim said as she took out the Kimmunicator. Wade appeared on the screen.

"What's up, Kim?"

"Wade, were you watching the fight at the museum?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Do you have footage of the guy who busted in?"

Wade spit up the soda he had been drinking. Kim was really getting sick of Wade knowing things about her enemies and not telling her.

"Who is he, Wade?"

"H…His name is J-Go."

"Anything else?"

"He used to work with Psygo. I don't know anything more than that."

"Well, start digging up some more info."

"Alright." Wade said as the screen shut off.

Drakken's Mountain Lair

Shego checked the clock on the wall. It was getting close to ten'o clock. She walked down the hallway to her room and closed the door. Shego waited a few minutes before Vaigo peeked her head through the wall. She looked around, spotted Shego, and went back through the wall. Soon, Waygo, Leego, and Vaigo walked through the wall and sat down in different areas of the room. Shego cocked an eyebrow and looked at each one in turn. Her eyes fell on Waygo.

"What was that all about?"

"Well, we didn't want to walk in on you naked in case you forgot that we were coming. So, we sent in Vaigo to check if you were decent before we came strolling in."

"Smart move. So, you must be the brains of the team."

Nobody was smiling.

"You wanted to hear the whole story. So, here it is."

Shego sat back on her bed and prepared herself for a long story. Waygo stepped up from leaning on the wall.

"This started when Team Go was formed. As with any superhero team, there were fans. Psygo, Leego, and Vaigo were all major fans. About two years after Team Go was formed, J-Go showed up. He was a fan as well, and wanted to join their little group. They let him in without even questioning it. One day, Psygo got a great idea. He talked everyone into sneaking into the government facility where the meteorite was being held. I was working as a scientist at the time. The project I was working on was to study the long-lasting effects of the energies from the meteorite on humans. That was when Psygo, Leego, Vaigo, and J-Go broke in and tied me up. Unfortunately, they weren't smart enough to leave me where I was. They actually brought me along."

"So, you got your powers because these morons didn't know how to break into a facility?"

"More or less, yes."

A yellow catsuit boot bounced off of Waygo's head. He looked back at Vaigo who had an angry look on her face.

"It was our first time. Can you really blame us? At least you got a good power. Be thankful you didn't get shrinking like Mego."

Waygo waved her off and continued on with the story.

"So, anyways, they broke in with me in tow and the meteorite gave us each different powers."

"Doy."

"Psygo got the juggernaut power. Leego was hit in the eyes. It made him blind, but gave him Blindsight."

"Blindsight?"

"He can see within a mile around him in any direction. Even invisible things."

"Nice."

"The lovely lady over there is Vaigo. She got the ability to phase through solid matter."

Vaigo smiled and waved. Shego ignored her for the moment.

"I got the power of invisibility."

"So, what did J-Go get?"

"J-Go got more power than all of us combined. His power is the power of the mind."

"Meaning?"

"Telekinesis, telepathy, mind control, energy control. If it's got something to do with the mind, he's got it. But, even he has limitations. For example, he can't control powerful minds. Usually one's with a strong will power will be too much for his mind control."

"So what happened?"

"We created a new team. They found out that you had quit Team Go and become a thief. So, they followed their role model's example. I just tagged along to make sure none of them got into too much trouble. I figured an adult influence would be good for them.

"Yeah, so much for that idea. So, what's the deal with J-Go?"

"On one of our heists, he accidentally killed someone. Problem was, he liked it. He started killing people for amusement. We all followed your example, and you never kill people. So, we tried to stop him. Mind you, this was before Psygo acquired the S.L.A.M. The mission was a disaster. J-Go wiped the floor with us, and we were left to pick up the pieces. We were constantly blamed for the things that J-Go had done. We had to go into hiding because of him, only coming out to fight him again. In the end, one of Psygo's contacts betrayed him and sent in GJ. Psygo saved our asses and got captured himself. They locked him away for three years while we kept a lookout for J-Go. But J-Go went into hiding as well. We couldn't get in to help Psygo. None of our powers could have made it all the way in. Surprisingly, you solved that problem for us. As soon as Psygo was out, he contacted us. Without our knowledge, Psygo came up with a plan to lure out J-Go. He told us about it before the museum thing. Apparently, the plan worked out a little too well."

"That's when this whole mess started and he got hurt trying to save your worthless ass. I still don't get what he sees in you," Vaigo suddenly cut in, speaking to Shego.

Shego almost lit up her hands, but restrained herself from toasting the blonde girl. Her mind slowly began to comprehend what was going on.

"You mean…Psygo…likes me?"

Waygo was relieved that she was finally getting it.

"He more than likes you Shego. That kid is in love with you. He's been in love with you since the first time he saw you. And everything he's done since then has had something to do with you. Whether it was getting these powers in the first place, or stealing the most valuable things on the planet."

Vaigo turned her nose up at Shego.

"You don't deserve someone like Psygo."

Shego turned back to Waygo.

"Let me guess. She's got a crush on Psygo?"

Waygo nodded. Shego smiled.

"Well, Vaigo, if you want him, you'll have to go through me first. Now that I know what's going on, I've suddenly become very interested in Psygo. And the fact that you've got such a crush on him will make things that much sweeter."

Vaigo's face scrunched up in anger as Shego left the room. At a second thought, Shego turned back around.

"By the way, what's your name, old man?"

Waygo laughed.

"You already guessed it. Everyone just calls me old man."

Shego shrugged and walked back to Psygo's room. He had begun to move slightly, but had still not waken up. A sly smile played across Shego's face as she looked up and down Psygo's blanketed body. She tried to visualize him without the scar on his face, but it was so big that it went diagonally from his hairline to his right cheek.

I bet he was gorgeous before the scar.

Shego leaned over Psygo's still sleeping form and planted a small but sweet kiss on his lips. He seemed to shift a little, but still did not wake up. Shego walked back out of Psygo's room and into her own. The others had already left, so Shego closed and locked her door. She got undressed and slipped underneath the covers of her bed. That night was the first time in a long time that she had gone to sleep with a smile on her face.
