"And here I was worried about interrupting you in the middle of something important" Heather remarked when she, Emily, and Tony reached the top of the outside wall where they found Chloe sitting on the ground reading a magazine.

Chloe scoffed as she put down the magazine and stood up.

"Give you credit for getting out of the cage without being able to melt the lock" Heather growled at her comment but the blond, currently unmasked, ninja only smirked. "I take it the capulator gun worked then, your brilliant sister designed all the modifications," she said.

"My brilliant sister also looked at notes other than the ones on me, I know what you are Chloe" Heather said, completely ignoring the other girl's attempt to turn her against Emily again.

"Oh and what am I Heather?" Chloe questioned, not surprised in the least that Heather knew.

"A human" Heather said immediately, which did surprise Chloe just a little, and Heather saw it. "You weren't created in a traditional sense but you are still a human. You were originally programed to work for Dementor but since he made you human you have a choice" she pleaded and Chloe actually laughed.

"You really don't get it do you?" She laughed, "Do you honestly think that it was Dementor who came up with the idea to take you guys down from the inside?" She questioned, her voice becoming more and more serious with every word. "That was my suggestion. You see I may only be two months old, chronologically speaking, but in that short time you managed to become the bane of my existence" she said, all three heroes were completely caught off guard by the comment.

"What did I do?" Heather finally spluttered out, she began rethinking everything she ever said to Chloe before discovering she was evil and truly thought she had always been nice to her.

"Ah well if it isn't the little boys" Dementor mocked when Cam, Mark, and Zach joined him and Superior in the room of the highest tower of the castle.

"So is this where you keep Chloe when you're not using her?" Cam sneered

"Superior suggested it but she is my property" Dementor sneered back, knowing the truth about Chloe only made Cam angrier at the comment.

"Anyway, you children are to late. I've enchanted the energy inside of the modified capulator and soon-" Superior began to gloat but Zach had already thrown a bomb of knockout gas at the two.

Heather fought Chloe as best as she could, but without her powers she just wasn't a strong enough match. Things only got worse when Chloe pointed that out because then Heather grew angry and with her anger she became sloppy. The fight had now reached the point where Heather was clinging desperately to the edge of the wall, Chloe stepping on one of her hands.

"Chloe please! You don't have to do this!" She begged but Chloe only snickered.

"Give it up Heather, unlike you there's evil in my blood, not pathetic failure." She taunted, "Besides you're getting what you deserve." She said bitterly as her eyes narrowed and she squished Heather's hand even harder. "I was created on purpose Heather, somebody actually wanted me. But you, you were a mistake. Yet somehow you're the one with a family who loves you and I'm the one who has to earn it" she explained and despite the hurtful words Heather understood.

"Chloe you and me have completely different circumstances" she pleaded desperately.

"I don't care" Chloe growled and then, just before she could kick Heather off the roof, Tony ran up behind her and pulled her away.

While Tony struggled to restrain Chloe, Emily helped Heather up.

"You ok?" She asked as she pulled her sister back onto the top of the wall.

"I'm alive," Heather breathed in relief.

"So?" Heather asked almost fearfully as she sat on a stool in Wade's basement, her genius uncle figure and her best friend had her hooked up to at least ten different wires trying to restore her powers.

The mission had ended just three hours ago, Monkey Fist, who had planned to escape prison amidst the chaos of mind controlled and rioting prisoners, never got out. While Dementor and Superior were arrested Chloe escaped but Heather was sure that for now the blond was still on the side of evil.

"Re-instating your powers looks like it's a no-go. The energy capulator harnessed your powers which Lord Superior used to turn it into power source for their mind control plan, we put this stuff back in you and you'll be under Superior's control" Wade explained to her, while Cam examined Heather herself he had been looking at the capulator, though Emily had already told him that the effects were irreversible.

"Got it," Heather said with a nod before turning to Cam who sighed.

"The good news is the part of your brain that controls your powers didn't shut off so theoretically if I can find any trace of your powers left in your system we could reawaken them, the bad news is so far I haven't found any trace of your powers and also theoretically reawakening them like this could fry your brain" he confessed and again Heather nodded.

"Ok" she said, she could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. "Am I done here?" She asked, her voice cracking so Cam nodded, understanding that she wanted to leave. Calmly she detached the wires from herself and hopped off the stool. "I'll see you guys tomorrow" she said before leaving the basement.

Heather had only just closed the basement door behind her when someone else opened and closed it.

"Wait Heather" a gentle yet firm voice ordered, she turned back to see Cam's worried and slightly nervous expression.

"Cam look there's just, there's somewhere I need to be." She told him with a shaky breath, he stepped closer and took her hands in his.

"Heather, listen to me. I know that you can handle this yourself, but I am begging you not to." He pleaded and she smiled despite the tears in her eyes.

"I'm not, I promise," she said and with a small smile he let her go.

She made her way for the front door but turned back only to see that Cam had already returned to the basement, so she left.

Less than twenty minutes later Heather found herself outside of a door she had never seen before, she only hoped she had the right address.

It was nearly midnight when Shego heard a knock on her apartment door.

What the? She thought to herself, when the knocking came again she got off the couch to go answer it.

She figured it had to be somebody from work, this wouldn't be the first time she had gotten a surprise mission or some of the boys pulled a prank on her. Her mind told her to grab a weapon before opening the door, but her gut told her not to. Seeing nothing useful she decided against the weapon and just opened the door expecting one of the other global justice agents, not her daughter.

Standing on the other side of the door was a teenage girl Shego hadn't seen in so long that it took her a minute to recognize her. She hadn't grown more than half an inch since the last time they saw each other, her hair looked like it had been cut an inch or two, and although her body seemed to have filled out a little more it was still hard to believe she was seventeen. The biggest thing Shego noticed, however, was her face. It was set in a frown and her eyes were red, had she been crying?

"Heather?" Shego asked in surprise and once she said her daughter's name the teenager became very choked up. "Heather what's wrong? What happened?" She questioned but Heather just began sobbing even harder. Unsure of what exactly to do Shego ushered her daughter into her small apartment and shut the door. "Ok, what happened?" She asked, she didn't really think she would get an answer but she certainly didn't expect Heather to throw her arms around her. The teenager wound her arms tightly and desperately around her mother and cried into her chest, it took Shego a minute but she returned the embrace.

What happened? Shego thought, she knew that her relationship with her daughter is less than stellar, to say the least. But still she thought that Heather knew she could contact her for whatever reason before things got to the point where she just showed up at the door in tears.

"I lost my powers" Heather finally mumbled, at first Shego thought she didn't hear right. "We were on, on a, on a mis, mission. They stole Cam's notes on me and made a weapon to, to ta, take my powers away," she cried and now that she knew she hadn't misheard Shego tightened her grip on Heather.

"I'm sorry" she said "I lost my powers once, only for a few minutes but I remember the feeling" she confessed. Truthfully she was wondering if maybe she should call Hego, though he was still mad at her for having kept Heather a secret from him up until the girl was sixteen she was sure he didn't have anything against Heather. During that Aviarius incident he had lost his powers for almost three days, surely he could understand better. Or maybe the twins, they were the only ones to receive their powers as babies like Heather and could probably relate better to not knowing what it's like not having powers.

In her head Shego made a list of all the people she could tell Heather to go see, but then she looked at her daughter again and suddenly the reality hit her that Heather was here. Kimmie and the buffoon had raised her, had soothed every nightmare and scared away every monster from the day that she was born. Her friend Cam had saved her on the Senior's island three years ago, even Drakken had taken care of her when she was sick one time. But despite all that Heather had come here. She had dug up the most recent return address Shego had stamped on the back of a birthday card and come to her very uninvolved birth mother, not for answers, but just for comfort. For once Shego decided not to push her away, tonight that would be the last thing the girl needed.
