"There!" Drew put the finishing touches on the small toy that he'd been working on. A miniature train that was solar powered. He was hoping that maybe, again, him and Shego would luck out and have another child. The toy would be for them. What would they look like? Probably more like their mother again, if Kimberly's appearance was anything to go by.
Kimberly and Shego had gone off to have a spa day or two at Shego's favorite resort. The mud baths and hunky men were definitely not Drew's scene, so he'd opted to stay at the lair and have some 'me' time.
He'd made good on his promise to embarrass Kimberly at her various cheerleading events. For some reason, that seemed to spur James to do the same. The two men combined their efforts to cheer her on, increasing her embarrassment severalfold.
Man, it was fun being a dad.
Kimberly had been trying her best to incorporate him more into her life. Invited him over to more, different events than her cheerleading competitions. Even started calling him 'Dad' casually, like it was a normal everyday thing instead of an emergency attention-getter.
Effort. He appreciated it.
Drew hopped up from his desk and let loose a victorious laugh as he again contemplated his successful invention. He knew that if Shego'd been there she would've teased him, and Kimberly would've at least rolled her eyes. But he couldn't help it if he was excitable!
A flash out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. And then, a familiar voice.
"Hello, Drakken."
Drew froze. Shaking, he turned.
Gemini. Gemini was in his home. Standing there like he belonged there. In his hands was a strange triangular machine. It looked like a cheaply-made teleporter... It would explain how he got there so swiftly and quietly. Beside him was a large satchel.
"I WANT PROJECT UTOPIA!" Gemini screamed, dragging the blade towards Drew's eye socket.
Drew collapsed to the floor, dropping the toy train, and crawled backwards away from the villain until he hit the wall. He wanted to call his vines if just to have some reassurance, but he was so scared…!
"Are you ready for round 2?" Gemini asked with a sneer.
"I have Project Utopia!" Drew cried, desperately trying to think of ways to keep it from happening again, to keep from feeling the sheer terror and pain. That's what the one-eyed man had wanted all those years ago, right? Drew had all of GJ's records still! He could give it up, keep the nightmare from happening all over again! "I can give it to you!"
Gemini chuckled. "You think I want that musty old project?" He began to walk towards the shivering man, carrying the satchel with him. "No… What I want is more simple." He pulled out a metallic ball with a variety of buttons on it from the satchel. Pushing a few, he stated, "I want to hear you scream."
And he did.
