Chapter 7
Shego had a moment with Kim and thought finally things could turn around. Then when Ron appeared it seemed as if it never happened. Kim was suddenly focused on Ron and even looking at him with eyes that made Shego feel unimportant.
Shego could feel her anger rise and she wanted nothing more than to leave the hospital and deal with her jealousy. She tried to contain herself until her body was more responsive.
Kim however wasn't aware of what Shego was feeling because she had been so shocked at the sight of Ron and the fact she got caught with Shego. She was supposed to be kidnapped by Shego's other alter ego and now it would be clear that Shego and Shadow Fist were one.
"Ron, what are you doing here?" She asked before she rushed towards him and hugged him fiercely.
Ron instinctively hugged Kim back and had to admit it felt nice being close to her again. Even if he was in a relationship with Yori, his heart had a lot of love for Kim.
Yori made her presence known by coughing just before she spoke, "Ron-san it seems we have found Kim and can now return her to Global Justice."
Ron forgot about the mission for a sec but pulled away from Kim and nodded towards his girlfriend.
"You're right we shouldn't be here a moment longer and Shego doesn't seem able to stop us for the moment. Kim it is going to be okay, we can go now and I will make sure you are safe from whatever is trying to kill you."
Kim was tempted to go with Ron but she felt that she couldn't abandon Shego after all she had done. "Ron, I am fine here. I know this will sound weird but Shego has been keeping me safe. I can't leave her in this condition especially all she has endured for my sake."
Ron could have sworn he misheard his former girlfriend because it sounded like she wanted to willingly stay with Shego. "Kim-" He managed to get out before Shego interrupted him.
"I believe Kim said she wanted to be at my side. If you truly want her safe then you will turn around and leave. If you force her to go with you and she ends up dying due to your inability to protect her, I will kill you Ron. That is a promise!"
Kim, Ron, and Yori were shocked by the declaration and the look Shego was giving Ron. They could see the sincerity in her words and how much she was annoyed by the situation.
Ron was learning to tap into his true potential and Shego was in no shape to fight but for some reason Ron was not willing to test her.
"I don't understand what is going on here, all I know is that Shego isn't in any condition to fight or she would have already attacked me. I can sense she hates me and I honestly don't know why or care for that matter. I just want you safe Kim. I didn't know how bad things were here and had I known-"
Kim decided to cut him off this time, "Ron, you have a life with Yori now. I don't hold anything against you since you couldn't have been here for me. I still cherish our friendship and always will. I know you still have love for me, maybe not the way I wish and that's fine. Just trust me when I say that I am going to be okay. I know Shego can help me stay alive because I believe in her."
Ron felt defeated not by actions but by words. He couldn't convince Kim to leave willingly and kidnapping her would feel terrible. He decided that all he could do was just offer his assistance and postpone informing Dr. Director.

Eduardo, Isabella, Manuel, Wally, and Walter were in Hector's room. Usually the doctors didn't allow anyone in unless the patient was showing signs of passing on or recovering. With Isabella's intimidating persona the doctors decided to allow them to see the patient.
Isabella had tears in her eyes and was standing by her sons side. She had his hand in her own and was not letting go.
"Hector you listen to me, I am proud of you for saving your sister's life and for always doing the right thing. I know this may be tough but I need you to live my son. I know you can pull through because you're strong and because you aren't ready to die."
She kissed his forehead and walked out the room, frustrated beyond belief. She wasn't angry with Kim for her son's condition and she couldn't fault her daughter either. She knew that the only person to blame was the son of a bitch who made those god damn machines.
She was ready to go on a one woman mission to find the sicko but she knew her family needed her more. She just hoped Hector would recover a bit before Sylvia was able to visit. If her daughter saw Hector in that condition she would most likely lose control and end up getting even more hurt.

Betty was at her office with five radios sitting on her desk. She had decided to have five different squadrons that were on five frequencies. She wanted to avoid overlap or channel issues when her subordinates were reporting in on the success or failure of their mission.
She needed to know where the androids came from. That was troubling her more than Ron not reporting back from his trip.
The action she saw on the television during the battle in Go City only made her a bit worried of what was in store. The only instances she could find via internet that mentioned anything remotely to the kind of hardware and advanced mechanisms she observed was from an old news clipping of an experiment gone wrong in Germany.
She decided to look into that article again in hopes she missed something.
{KiGo}
The incident in Munich, Germany all those years ago
Dr. Lunkovitz had finally finished building the ultimate soldier. He had begun research in creating the ultimate machine that looked human enough to pass as a normal human being. He wanted to create a line of androids that would fight in the place of human soldiers. His whole life was dedicated to that cause.
When he decided to do some tests with his first android it seemed as if things were going smooth. He enjoyed watching his creation pass tests in record time and do things that normal humans couldn't even dream of.
His original prototype was named Wunderkind. Wunderkind's functions were exceeding the entire team's expectations. In no time at all Wunderkind had been deemed ready to show off for possible clients who could purchase a more refined version of the android.
Unfortunately, during the public test in which many potential investors had arrived to view, the machine malfunctioned. Wunderkind decided to ignore his creator's commands and acted on his own desires.
Needless to say Wunderkind was too much of a liability and was set to be put down. When Dr. Lunkovitz attempted to shut down his android it backfired and released all the restraints that were keeping the android from being too deadly. This caused the android to go berserk and massacre anyone who dare oppose it.
The entire lab went down in flames and everyone but Dr. Lunkovitz had died a gruesome death. When he came face to face with his own creation he had expected to die and instead the android smiled at him and shutdown voluntarily.
Dr. Lunkovitz had decided to focus his attention on making other androids and keeping Wunderkind offline.

Present
Betty didn't see any point in looking the article over since it states in it that no one survived and the machine was never recovered. It seemed that if it was a lead it wasn't a good one. She needed something to make her sanity return.
Just as all hope was lost she got some good news. Her cellphone rang and she looked at the number. She was waiting for this call.
"Mr. Stoppable I assume you found Ms. Possible?" She asked hesitantly.
Ron was on the other line sounding a bit down. "Yeah, I found Kim, she is safe and sound. I can't bring her back because she refuses to leave Shego's side."
Dr. Director was unsure of how to approach such news, "So Kim is willing to stay by Shego's side? Well then Ronald I will give you two choices, you can help my agents' track the source of the androids or you can act as a temporary failsafe until Shego can get back on her feet."
She could hear Ron sighing on the other end of the phone before he gave a halfhearted reply.
"I will stay, not because Kim is in any danger, I just feel more comfortable being around her until the threat is dealt with. Also Yori and I are going to have to check into a hotel since visiting hours are almost up. So we will be out of contact with Kim for a bit."
Dr. Director didn't like that bit of news and at the same time she thought it was the greatest news in the world. If Kim was staying by Shego's side it meant that Shego was willing to protect Kim Possible. That could be the start of a reformed Shego and with Shego and Kim working side by side the villains would never stand a chance.
"Alright, Ronald, I will set up something with a nearby hotel and get you, and Yori, a nice room to spend the evening in. Take care of yourself and just try to keep in contact with Kim."
{KiGo}
Kim saw Ron walk back into the room and noticed Ron still had his Kimmunicator. "Hey, Ron, can I borrow the Kimmunicator I want to speak with Wade quickly."
Ron grabbed his Kimmunicator and handed it over to Kim who was sitting really close to Shego's bed. He didn't like seeing an ex villain getting all chummy with Kim and yet he was at least grateful that someone kept Kim alive.
When Kim grabbed the Kimmunicator she contacted Wade who was happy to see her.
"Hey Wade, Sorry about the other Kimmunicator-" was all she could get out before Wade started rambling on.
"Kim! I wish we had time for pleasantries but I have some major news," He said with horror in his tone.
"What's the sitch Wade?" She asked unsure of what terrible info she was about to receive.
"Alright, I first need to tell you the bad news before I can hit you with the good. The bad news is the androids that are after you were made by a scientist who according to sources died. The problem is he isn't dead because the androids that have been destroyed by Shego are not the one that had caused his supposed death. Before you ask, I found out that Shadow Fist was Shego from your mother but I haven't told anyone. Anyways the other terrible news is that the androids that have been hunting you aren't as bad as the one that will be."
Wade wanted to continue telling her more information but decided to show a clip he was able to salvage from an old recording that was recovered from the incident. The famous incident that ended the career and supposed life of Dr. Lunkovitz was impossible to fully show since it was salvaged and restored.
Kim looked in horror as the footage showed a man, who appeared to be androgynous with semi long hair and a great physique, performing tests. Without warning the man became volatile and started attacking the scientists and military guards. The man was moving faster than humanly possible and had strength that rivaled Hego's. The footage got ruined around this point but Kim saw before the camera flaked out was the face of the man with the glowing red eyes.
Wade appeared back on screen and sighed. "According to the data I was able to retrieve from hacking into systems in Germany, The android was created to be a replacement for human soldiers. The scientist in that lab wanted to make a series of androids to fight wars in the place of humans. The first prototype was known as Wunderkind and Kim he was the one they spent years making."
Shego could hear it all and grabbed the Kimmunicator from Kim and looked at Wade.
"Listen, before you give Kim anymore bad news I just need to know if you can find out the condition my brother is in. No one is willing to tell me and I can't move too much as it is."
Wade went silent and started clicking the keys of his keyboard and hoping he could find some sort of good news.
Kim decided to comfort Shego by gently rubbing her back which didn't escape Ron's vision.
Ron felt weird seeing Kim being gentle with Shego when he was used to seeing them fighting. He decided he needed to get out of there momentarily until he could stomach the thought of Kim and Shego being close.
Wade finally got information and hoped it wouldn't make the situation worse.
"It seems Hego is in critical condition with a low probability of survival. I know this isn't good news but I also know you didn't want it sugar coated."
Shego held back her tears and returned the Kimmunicator to Kim.
Wade decided to continue speaking even after he was momentarily shifted from his previous focus.
"Well the bad news is almost over but since the rest of the information is less relevant I will hit you with some good news. Kim I know you want to make sure the disaster ends before more people are harmed which is why I have finally made some improvements to your suit and I will make sure it gets to you asap."
Kim was excited about that, "Spanking!" She yelled then blushed.
Wade chuckled a bit before continuing on with the rest of the information he had.
"I know someone who is in contact with the creator of the androids and the same person is the one paying him to kill you. It's Dr. Drakken-" Wade was able to say before Shego exploded in anger.
"What! Did you just say Dr. Drakken? He is the one behind this?" Shego's hand's lit up and she had a look that could kill.
Kim softly whispered "Shego" and placed a hand on her shoulder easing the enraged woman.
Shego couldn't believe how easy it was to be disarmed by Kim. She then realized that visiting hours were up and if she got loud Kim could get discovered. She didn't mind if Ron left but didn't want Kim leaving her side at this moment.
Wade decided to continue with his information session.
"Dr. Drakken is paying Dr. Lunkovitz a hefty sum and has been contacting him via phone calls. I was able to hack into the prison computers to check through audio logs but unfortunately I can't track Dr. Lunkovitz. Since they were speaking in code the guards may not be aware of their dirty dealings. Still with Drakken knowing how to reach him we can use that to our advantage."
Kim was glad she had some good news and finally she could start dealing with these menaces. She was a bit weary of the one android the camera caught because it moved faster than she could anticipate and seemed deadlier than anything she had faced before. With the upgrades to her suit she hoped she could be on par with Shego, when she wasn't holding back, or even the androids themselves.
"Wade thanks for the information. Just give me the details on the drop point so I can get the suit. Wade I also want to thank you for not freaking out about Shego."
Wade smiled at Kim and said "As long as you're happy and safe Kim, I trust your judgment" before signing off.
{KiGo}
It was later that night when Shego saw a sleepy Kim barely able to sit on the chair that was next to her bed.
"Kim don't freak out when I say this but come here," Shego said while patting her bed.
Kim blushed and looked around as if paranoid. She was supposed to have left but thanks to Isabella the doctors let her stay the night. Ron left with Yori to a hotel and that left a sour taste in her mouth.
She wasn't in love with Ron but she still loved him. It was saddening to her that they had drifted as they did. She was starting to like Shego and even though Shego could never replace Ron it was nice having someone else care about her.
She knew that she hadn't seen Monique or Felix in a while and definitely was missing her family as well. Even with all that sadness she was still happy around Shego. She knew that Shego cared about her and she also could see that Shego was into her.
Kim had never had feelings towards girls before and she didn't want to get Shego's hopes up. That is when it hit her. She realized that she only saw Shego's actions as making advances and she could be wrong. What if I am just projecting because I am the one who is into her?
Shego could see Kim's hesitation and it just made her regret offering the red head a spot to rest. She felt stupid for even thinking she and Kim could be a thing, with Kim still hung up on Ron. She almost lost a brother to save a girl who she had zero chance of being with and yet she wasn't angry about it. Shego decided to just close her eyes and get some rest but felt something touching her.
She opened her eyes and there was Kim's eyes looking back at her. "Glad you could join me Princess," Shego said in her usual taunt like fashion.
Kim blushed but said nothing and instead just looked in Shego's eyes. "Shego…" Kim started saying until she felt the blanket covering her. Kim was now sharing a bed and was under the blankets with Shego.
Her heart was racing and her mind was spinning. She wanted to understand why she was responding this way to a woman who she battled with constantly. She couldn't say she wasn't attracted to Shego because the green woman was stunning.
She just never felt that sort of way for any girl before. This was confusing for her and at the same time it was exciting.
Kim decided to be bold and wrapped an arm around Shego's waist. She then put her head on Shego's neck and breathed softly.
"Shego, I know you want to protect me and I get you want me safe. I appreciate that and you have done the most wonderful job of keeping me alive. That said I am feeling much better physically and with Wade's upgrades to the suit I am sure I can fight on my own. I don't want you to stop protecting me; I just want to be able to protect you as well."
Shego stayed silent and just listened. Part of her was shocked by Kim's words and the other by her actions. She was being snuggled up by the girl of her dreams and she was hoping it was a reality.
"Kim, I appreciate the sentiment but I am the tough one here," Shego taunted earning a giggle from Kim.
"Yes I forgot, Shego strong Kim weak," Kim said in a mock caveman voice.
Shego then got serious and gently stroked Kim's back. "Just promise before you get yourself into deep shit that you will wait for me to recover. I know I look pretty banged up but I promise I will be up and ready to rumble shortly."
Kim blushed again and was glad her face was buried in Shego's neck. She had to ask something that could possibly ruin their newly found friendship since they were really intimate at the moment.
"Shego, I hate asking since right now I feel amazing being this close to you. I just have to know because I know that this nightmare will end and I will no longer need protection. Are you going back to doing villain stuff or are you done being the bad girl?"
Shego hated Kim being right. The answer she gave could totally destroy their bond and honestly she was enjoying the intimacy between them. "I can't go back to being a hero. I gave it up for a reason Kim, and I just don't see myself going back to having that lifestyle. If I was to join the side of good the best way would be as a vigilante since at least I can still do as I please. Princess, just for now let's skip these kind of questions because at this moment you and I are happy. Regardless of the troubles out there, we are in here and we are enjoying each other's company. So let's just enjoy what we have now because in the end, regardless if we don't work out as friends, or even something more, we at least had this one moment."
Kim decided that Shego was right even if they went back to being enemies that this moment should be cherished. She decided that she wanted to make this moment a lasting memory in case things got bad from here.
"Shego, even if you went back to stealing, I don't think I could see you as an enemy. If that even somehow changes and we go back to fighting each other like before than I just want to let you know that I appreciate all you have done for me. I want to add that since we are letting this moment not get ruined by the outside world, I want this moment to be special. I hope you can forgive me for this but I just need to see…"
Shego was going to say "see what," but felt soft lips being pressed against hers. It took Shego a second to register that Kim was kissing her and before Kim could pull away from the kiss Shego deepened it.
Kim was lip locked with Shego and felt pleasure shoot throughout her body. The kiss was electrifying and she was enjoying the magnitude of it. She had kissed Ron before but never had a kiss felt so explosive.
Kim felt her heart racing as she continued kissing Shego. She didn't want to stop and something internally wanted it to escalate. She hadn't had sex before and didn't want to rush it so she slowly and painfully ended the kiss while whimpering slightly.
Shego breathed heavily and grinned at Kim, "Whoa, Pumpkin, had I known you batted for my team I would have spent less time making you scream in pain and more time making you scream in pleasure."
Kim just hid her face under the blanket and didn't remove it from that position until Shego coaxed it out with a chin rub.
Kim removed the blanket from her head and looked in Shego's eyes. She leaned up and started another kiss and allowed herself to enjoy it even more than the last.
They continued kissing and stopping before sleep overtook them and they both secretly hoped that in the morning they still felt that spark.
{KiGo}
When the morning came Kim and Shego had been woken up by a flash of a camera. They both got up and realized the position they were in and what they did last night. Then they both registered that a camera had flashed which means that someone needed to die.
Shego turned to face the intruder and discovered it the worst foe in all of America. It was her mom smiling with a face of "I told you so."
Kim saw Isabella holding a camera and giving them a knowing look.
"So I can see that medicine wasn't the thing you needed to get better it was just a little loving from your princess," Isabella quipped jokingly until suddenly the doors opened.
Ron had opened the door because he had emergency news from Global Justice. When his eyes registered Kim lying on the bed with Shego his mind went blank.
Shego thought Kim would bolt from the bed and try to explain the situation but was surprised when she didn't move.
"Ron, what's the sitch?"
Ron was almost loss for words but decided that the information couldn't be delayed due to his former girlfriend's current situation.
"Besides the fact that you're in a bed with Shego, it seems that Dr. Drakken was kidnapped by an android," Ron said while still unsure of what the hell was going on with his best friend.
{KiGo}
Dr. Drakken was in some hidden lair that made his seem fancy. He was aware that he was broken out of prison but against his will. After seeing the images of Shego fighting the android off he knew that Dr. Lunkovitz would be upset.
He didn't think he would have been kidnapped and tied down to a chair. It seemed like something Drakken himself would have done to the buffoon and Kim.
"Hello?" He asked weakly wondering if anyone was there.
Dr. Lunkovitz came into view and responded by slapping Drakken across the face, "You fool! Your failure to give me the correct information has cost me three prototypes."
Dr. Drakken was angry with being slapped. That offended him more than being punched since it was personal.
"Well to be fair, I didn't know my ex henchmen was alive and I didn't know some other weirdo would have saved Kim."
Dr. Lunkovitz didn't enjoy the tone that Drakken was speaking with. It made him very upset and he decided to show Drakken that he wouldn't be played with.
"I accepted the payment and the task of killing Kim Possible and I decided to give Kim a fair shot by not attacking her family. I may be evil but I am not petty. Killing defenseless scientists and children wouldn't make my androids seem impressive. I now know that it might just be in the cards to have Kim's family slaughtered. Imagine the devastation of losing one's mother? Now if I am willing to go after Kim's family and sink to that level then imagine what I am willing to do to your own mother?"
Drakken didn't like the sound of that, "You leave my moth-"
"How about I don't leave her out of this? I played by the rules but now I want to change them. I will give you one chance to make things right or I will have your dear mother executed."
Drakken slumped in defeat and decided it would be best to just do whatever the mad man wanted. "So what is it you want me to do?" He asked wearily.
"I want you to cause a scene like you usually do and attract Kim's attention. When she least expects it, one of my androids will take her out. While she is being taken care of by Giovanni I will have Salazar take out Shego in the hospital."
Drakken was outraged, "You can't kill Shego, she was the whole reason I hired you."
Lunkovitz chuckled, "Look where that has gotten you. Now if you don't wish to play along I could activate Eva, and Eva would take good care of mommy dearest."
Drakken didn't want his mother to die and even though he cared for Shego, he couldn't risk his mother's safety.
"Alright I will do as you ask, just don't hurt my mother," Drakken said in defeat.
To Be Continued…
I hope you enjoyed the chapter and see you all on the next one
