Second chapter! I'll post part two, sometime later this week. Enjoy!
Chapter #2 – Glow (Part 1)
"Hyah!"
Shego smirked as she blocked the four year old's attack and caught his tiny fist. She easily flipped him over onto the foam mat and sighed, "See, I told you it'll be easier sparring with daddy."
"I almost had you the last time…"Dashiel grumbled, "One more round!"
"I don't think so, kiddo. I think it's time to call it a day" She said, putting a hand on her hip.
"Please mom, one more round!" He begged, giving her the puppy-dog pout.
Shego rolled her eyes, "Fine, one more round. But that's it, understand?"
"Yes! You're so going down!" He grinned, getting into his fighting stance.
"I don't think so" She smiled, pretending she was serious. She didn't want to hurt him, but at the same time didn't want him to think she was going easy on him either.
Dashiel charged at her and attempted to leg-swipe her, but Shego easily jumped over him. "Hey! No fair" He glared, "Your cheating again!"
"Fights aren't always fair, sweetie" She said, turning to face him. She motioned him to continue and smirked as he charged at her again.
Dashiel spin-kicked, but gasped as his mother caught his leg and held him upside-down. "Mom! Put me down!" He yelled, losing his patience.
"Give it up, Dash. You can't beat me" Shego teased.
As Dashiel swung his arms, a light blue glow similar to Shego's formed in his fist and a blast of energy flew right past Shego's cheek.
"Shego! Have you seen my-Aah!" Drakken gasped, nearly dodging the blast as it hit the wall.
Shego set him down and gasped at the glow around her son's hand, "No way…"
"Aah! My hands on fire!" Dash cried, waving his arm rapidly. As he waved his arm, a bunch of light blue energy blasts fired out in different directions.
"Dash!" Drakken called out, dodging the many blasts coming his way. "Shego, make him stop!"
"Honey, relax! Your not on fire!" Shego exclaimed, trying to calm her son down. She placed a hand on his shoulder and activated her green glow in her other hand, "See, you're just like me."
Dashiel stopped crying and blinked at her glowing green hand, "I-I'm like you?"
"It seems so…" She nodded, trying to process what just happened. How could he have the same powers? She did give birth to him, but would her glow really pass down to him like that?
"Whoa! I didn't know you have superpowers, mom!" Dashiel gasped with a big smile.
"Didn't you see my glow? I swear I used it before" Shego said, while running a hand through her hair.
"I thought it came out of your gloves" He shrugged, "Wow mom, you're like the Human Torch!"
Shego rolled her eyes, "Very funny, kiddo…but I'm not a superhero…"
"But you have the clothes and superpowers" He added.
Drakken smirked, "He has a point, Shego. The only thing you don't have is a catchphrase."
"Will you can it with the superhero junk!" Shego growled, clenching her fist. She quickly calmed herself down and sighed, "Dash, you know mommy and daddy are evil right?"
"Uh huh!" Dash smiled, innocently.
"So if we're evil, how can I be a superhero?" She pointed out, hoping her son caught the hint.
The four year old thought for a moment, "I got it! You're a villain…"
"Mmhm."
"…that use to be a superhero!" He grinned, causing Shego to facepalm herself.
"You really should tell him your backstory, Shego. It'll make a great bedtime story" Drakken laughed, but ducked as Shego fired a blast at his head.
"You have a backstory too?" Dash gasped in excitement.
"Hold on, time out! I DON'T have a backstory and even if I did, there's no way I'm ever telling the two of you!" She yelled, storming out of the room.
Drakken and Dashiel cringed as the door slammed behind her. They have never seen Shego so angry before. Well Dashiel hasn't, but for Drakken it was different then her usual outbursts.
"Mom's pretty mad…"Dash frowned, "It's my fault."
"No no, don't worry, son" Drakken held him, "Mommy just needs to, um…cool down."
"How long till she cools down?"
Drakken gulped, "Uh…well, um.. let's get some ice cream!. Maybe that'll cheer your mother up too."
"Okay, but dad."
"Yes?"
"How do I turn this off?" Dashiel asked, holding up his glowing blue hand.
Drakken rubbed his temples and groaned, "Let's try water." He took his son to the bathroom and turned on the faucet, "Alright, this should do it."
Dashiel stuck his hand in the water and smiled as the glow went down a little, "It's working!" He pulled his hand out, but groaned as the glow came back.
"Huh,that usually works for fires" Drakken scratched his head, "Maybe you'll just have to keep your hand submerged in water." He grabbed a glass cup and filled it with water, "There!"
Dashiel put his hand in and frowned, "So I have to keep my hand in here the whole time? Can't we just ask mom?"
"NO!" Drakken groaned, "I mean, we'll ask her when we come back from our ice cream run!"
"O…k" the four year old shrugged, as he got into the hovercar with his father.
Meanwhile in Go City…
Beep Beep Beep! Beep Beep Beep!
"Yes! Fly my winged friends! Take all the cargo you can!" cackled Avarius, as swarms of robot birds carried bags of money and jewelry out of banks and stores.
"That's enough, Avarius!" Hego exclaimed, holding two robotic flamingos in his hands. He tied them together, before tossing them at Avarius.
The bird villain ducked and glared, "Well if it isn't Team Go, you're too late! My birds have already begun cleaning out the entire city! Soon all of Go city will be mine!"
"Wego, take out the birds!" Hego ordered, "Mego, let's take out Avarius and bring him to justice!"
Mego rolled his eyes, "Whatever, Hego. You know my plan is very close to what you thought of."
A couple blocks away, Drakken and Dashiel walked out of the ice cream shop. Drakken bought Shego her favorite flavor in a cup and happily held the two ice cream cones in his hands.
"Can I have my ice cream now, dad?" Dashiel groaned, still holding the cup. He hated that he couldn't enjoy his ice cream with his hands preoccupied.
"Sorry Dash, we can't risk your glow showing" Drakken exclaimed, licking his strawberry ice cream.
Dashiel sighed, but noticed a bunch of birds terrorizing people. "Dad, does this usually happen in this city?"
"I don't think so, maybe it's some bird mating season" Drakken scoffed, but gasped as a bird swooped down at him, "Hey! Back off! Get your own ice cream!"
"Hold on, dad!" Dashiel threw the glass aside and hit the bird with his energy blast, causing it to explode.
One of the Wego twins noticed Dashiel's hand and gasped, "He has a glow too?" He wasn't the only one that noticed, as Condor watched the four year old with interest.
"Dad are you okay?" Dashiel asked, but gasped in horror as his ice cream cone fell to the ground. "My ice cream! Grr! You birds are going down!" He growled as his other hand glowed light blue. He rapidly shot out energy blasts at the birds, which got the attention of the rest of Team Go and Avarius.
"That boy has the Go Team glow?" Avarius grinned, "I must have him! Condor, get the boy!"
Condor squawked in approval as he swooped down and grabbed Dashiel by the hood of his sweatshirt. Dashiel tried to hit Condor with his energy blasts, but the swinging caused him to miss the bird.
"Dad! Help!"
Drakken glanced up in horror as his son was whisked away by the Condor, "Dash! Oh snap, Shego's going to kill me!"
