Chapter 9: Surgery and Secrets:
Middleton General:
Kim was having a hard time fathoming what she had just been told. Shego was dying, and there wasn't a damn thing she could do about it. Kim clenched her fist in anger, her body visibly shaking. Her mom and Dr. Mitchum looked at her with worry. Dr. Mitchum walked over to Kim, and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry it had to end like this, Kim. I'll let you go say goodbye to her now if you'd like."
Kim steeled herself, and then turned to look at him; her eyes boring into his.
"No, you're wrong. She's gonna make it, she's strong. And, I'm not giving up. I'll find a way to save her, even if I have to do it alone."
That said, Kim ran out of the hospital, before anyone could stop her.
"Shouldn't we go after her?"
"No, if I know my daughter, which I do, there's no stopping her. She's gonna do whatever it takes to save the woman she loves."
Dr. Mitchum looked at Anne, in confusion, unsure if he had heard her correctly.
"Loves, aren't they on opposite sides of the law? And, I'm sure I've heard on the news that they've battled each other many times."
Dr. Mitchum scratched his head, and tried to wrap his brain the idea of a hero loving a villain.
"They are and they have, but I see in them a bond more powerful than anything on this earth. They need each other whether they realize it or not. Therefore, Kim is right, we can't just sit back and let her die. We have to do something."
Anne's voice was filled with confidence. Dr. Mitchum looked at Anne, his own confidence growing as well. The Possible women were right, they couldn't give up.
Go City: Go Tower:
Kim Possible had just finished explaining to Team Go what was happening with their sister. None of them wanted to accept the fact that she was dying. None of them wanted to say goodbye. Especially, not the Wegoes.
"No, she can't die!"
Tears running down their faces. Hego and Mego immediately pulled their younger brothers into a hug.
"I know you guys don't wanna lose her, none of us do, but sometimes these things just happen. I know it's gonna be hard not having her in our lives, but we'll get through it; together."
Hego was trying his best to keep his voice from breaking. The Wegoes didn't want to hear it though, their sister was going to make it; they just knew it.
"We're not saying goodbye, she's gonna make it; we just have to believe. That's what mom and dad always told us. If we believe in something hard enough, it'll come true. So if you guys wanna give up on her that's fine, but we're gonna save her; no matter what."
The Wegoes' voices were filled with determination. Mego just sighed, clearly his little brothers didn't get it.
"You guys don't understand; she's dying, and there's nothing we can do about it. Mom was the only other person to have Shego's blood type, and she's gone. You guys are just gonna have to face the music and accept the fact that Shego will be gone soon too."
They looked at their brother, anger blazing in their eyes.
"You're such a jerk, Mego!"
They then ran off.
"Xerxes, Xanto, come back!"
Hego, yelled. Kim looked at him, in confusion.
"Xerxes? Xanto?"
Hego and Mego just laughed.
"You didn't actually think that Wego one and Wego two were their real names, did you?"
Hego asked, with a laugh. Kim just twiddled her thumbs, and let out a nervous chuckle.
"We-Well, umm, yeah kinda."
Mego just shook his head, in amusement.
"Hego, Mego, Wego 1, Wego 2, and Shego are all just names we made up for Team Go, and they sort of stuck."
Kim slowly nodded her head, sort of understanding.
"So the twins real names are Xerxes and Xanto. What about the rest of you?"
Kim was glad that they were talking about something other than the possibility of losing Shego.
"Well, since you asked, my name is Galilee, Hego's name is Logan, and Shego's...well I think it'd be best if she told you herself. She doesn't like it when we reveal personal stuff about her to other people."
Kim was about to ask something about Shego that had been on her mind for some time, when her kimmunicator beeped. She quickly answered the call. Her mom was on the other end, and Kim could tell by looking at her eyes that she had been crying.
"Mom, what's wrong?! What happened?! Is Shego okay?!"
Kim was clearly frantic, with worry. Anne giggled a bit at her daughter, she sure did care a lot about Shego.
"Sweety, these are tears of joy. Turns out Shego's mom was an organ donor. Her heart is currently being flight for life helicoptered to us as we speak. Also, Wade found a way to remove Shego's powers. Hurry on over to the hospital, and I'll explain everything."
Now it was Kim's turn to cry tears of joy. Shego was gonna make it. Kim turned to Hego and Mego.
"Go get the Wegoes, we got a hospital to get to."
Kim then thanked her mom for calling, and hung up. Once the call ended, Kim and Team Go got into the Go jet, and flew off towards Middleton General.
Middleton General:
Kim and Team Go rushed into the entrance of the hospital, almost running into Anne.
"Sorry."
Came the unified reply. Anne just smiled, glad they were there.
"Is it true, is Shego really gonna be okay?"
Wego 1 was barely able to contain his excitement.
"Yes, your mom's heart arrived a few minutes ago, and Shego is going into surgery now."
Wego 2 nearly jumped for joy.
"Hooray, this means she'll be able to spend Christmas with us!"
This got his twin going, and they both did a happy dance around the waiting room.
"It'd be nice if she would spend Christmas with us, but she doesn't celebrate Christmas anymore."
Hego had said it more so to himself, but Kim still heard him.
"Why doesn't she celebrate Christmas?"
Kim's question grabbed the attention of everyone in the room. The Go brothers all looked at each other, all silently debating whether or not to tell Kim. After about five minutes Hego decided to tell her, after all, she'd probably find out anyway, she could have Wade research it.
"When Shego was only four years old she was kidnapped. She was taken from us before Christmas and returned some time after. None of us know what was done to her, only she knows that. But, the night she came back to us our mom was giving her a bath, and Shego was acting strangely. Shego loved bath time and she would normally splash about in the tub, but she just sat there with a very somber expression on her face. Also, during her bath, our mom and I noticed a strange symbol on Shego's back. Neither of us knew what it was, but after doing some research we discovered that it was called, Ægishjálmur, or helm of awe, and is known as a symbol of protection. However, the weird thing about it is, it looks like it's a part of her. It was a black, and contrasted against her pale skin, yet at the same time blended in perfectly with it. Actually, one could say it was almost like a birthmark. We asked her if the people who had taken her from us had put it on her, and she said that they hadn't, that it appeared one night, and that it's how she was able to escape. You see, when she came back to us she was all by herself. In fact she rang the doorbell. And to this day, none of us know who took her, only she knows that, and she'll probably never tell another living soul. But, whoever they were, they're the reason she doesn't like Christmas anymore."
Kim and her mom stared at Hego, in awe, both trying to wrap their heads around what was just revealed to them. Anne couldn't help but tear up a bit. She couldn't imagine one of her own kids being taken, and the heartache her parents must've gone through. Everyone stood there in silence, until it was broken by the sound of Dr. Mitchum entering the room. They all looked at him, silently asking for an update on Shego.
"Everything is going well. I just came out here to get the serum from, Anne."
Anne handed him a vial, and he head back into the operating room.
"What was that?"
Mego, asked.
"It's a formula that Wade created, that will remove your sister's powers from her body. He recommended it being given to her just before her knew heart is in her body. The serum is fast acting, so her powers won't have a chance to attack her new heart."
"What'll happen after she's done in the operating room?"
Wego 1, asked.
"She'll be taken to the ICU, and be put on a 48 hour observation. Then, she'll come back to our place to recover. I figured she would like to be out of the hospital at that point, and Kim is going on winter break soon, so she'll be able to help care for her. And of course, you guys are welcome to visit while she's recovering. She does love you guys, whether she admits to it or not."
Team Go was happy with the idea of getting to see their sister, after all this was over. However, it was gonna be quite the adjustment to see her without her powers.
"Do you guys think Shego will be okay with not having powers?"
Wego 2, asked. Everyone else pondered his question for a moment. Knowing Shego's hot temper, she would likely be upset about losing her powers, but it was for the best.
"Don't worry guys, it'll be tough, but with our help she'll get over not having her powers."
Kim said, letting out a yawn. Anne looked at the clock, and noticed how late it was, or early depending on how you looked at it.
"Kim, why don't you and Shego's brothers head back to the house, and get some rest. I'll give you a call when there's another update on Shego."
Kim and Shego's brothers all wanted to stay at the hospital, but Anne insisted that they go get some rest. So, after some arguing, which Anne won, Kim and Team Go flew back to the Possible house.
Possible Residence:
Everyone was sleeping. Well, everyone that is, except Kim. She was currently lying in bed, thinking about the bit she was told about Shego's past. She still had some questions, but at least now she knew more than she did before. She was finally about to fall asleep, when there was a knock at her door.
"Come in!"
Her door opened, to reveal her dad.
"Hey Kimmie-cub, your mom wanted me to tell you that Shego's out of surgery, and is now in the ICU. She said that everything went well, and Shego should make a full recovery."
Kim smiled at her dad, pleased with the news.
"Do you think we'll be able to see her before she gets out of ICU, I know her brothers would really appreciate it."
"I'll ask your mom about it, but for now get some sleep."
James kissed his daughter goodnight, and then left the room, shutting the door behind him. Once he had left, Kim laid her head on her pillow, and drifted off to sleep, with a smile on her face.
