A/N: I don't own Kim Possible, Jinx, or any of the characters from any of the shows. This story idea came to me while watching too much TV as I recovered from surgery. This story takes place instead of Dimension Twist at that time in the Kim Possible TV Show and after The Brotherhood of Evil season finale for Teen Titans TV Show.
'Speech"
'Thought'
This was my first short story (I hope! They, the stories just kept growing like that bio-thingy in KP's 'Mother's Day'.)

CRISSCROSS
Shego lay on the floor behind the bend and broken medicine cabinet that had fallen on Starfire earlier. She hadn't been noticed because she had hidden in plain sight. Nothing behind her but flat panel medical readout screens, so the two super Titans, Cyborg and Beastboy checked all the obvious places. After they left Shego still didn't move as she slowly scanned the room until she was satisfied.
'One security camera with what looks like a fisheye lens aimed at the center and front entrance on the room and what looks like a sound-sensitive microphone near where the gurney was. If I try for the mic the camera will film me, again'
'If their technology is about the same as ours then they have my voice print as well as film to study my fighting style from. Not good idea! I better find this security control room of theirs.'
Another look around showed Shego that she was far enough back in the room to be out of the field of vision of the security camera and the ceiling was a 'false' drop-down acoustic type.
Shego moved quietly away from the cabinet and stood up. With a light jump Shego batted the soundboard to one side and with athletic grace Shego pulled herself above the 'false' ceiling and replaced the two foot by four foot acoustic tile.
Shego distributed her weight over the metal struts that hung in place by wires from the true cement ceiling above the false ceiling, steam/water pipes and electrical wiring 'guts' needed to make this building livable were hidden above the false ceiling.
Once Shego was at the location of the sound-sensitive microphone, she removed her MP3 player from her ankle pouch and laid it on the tile then she cut a small hole with her index fingernail so she could lower the earpiece near the microphone but out of sight of the camera. Then she turned her MP3 on and crawled away to look for the security control room or the lady's room, which ever she found first.
'Whoever listens to that tape. I hope they like their Led Zeppelin loud, very loud.' Shego thought with an evil grin. 'Do they even have Led Zeppelin here?'
She found a single bathroom in the hall of the top level. With her index finger, helped by plasma burning, Shego wrote her opinion of one bathroom and so many people to share it with into the steel door where the message couldn't be missed or painted over. Shego left the bathroom the she had entered, through the 'false' ceiling.
Shego what crazy architect designed this building? It appeared that the walls were only eight feet high (the height of the 'false' ceiling) with squared columns rising up at points to the 'true' cement ceiling. Admittedly this made pipe laying easier, as well as maintenance, but Shego wondered how many other holes in their defenses she would be able to exploit.
Down below, Shego could see that the tower was as busy as a stirred-up anthill. The Robot-man had hurried off in one direction and the little green skinned teenager shape-changed into a bloodhound and sniffed his way down hall leaving a trail of drool on the floor. The one known as Raven had passed underneath Shego three times. Once she stopped and stared at the ceiling for almost a full minute, almost as if she could sense the green and black thief, before she walked on. Shego was certain that this hooded girl was very dangerous, perhaps the most dangerous of them all.
Shego did what any good (experienced) thief would do when the occupants are stirred up and active. She found an out-of the-way nook to curl up and take a nap.
Jinx was upset; true she was not in a holding cell. She was in one of the guestrooms in the Teen Titan's Tower but she was locked in!
"Remember Jinx all we have is your word the other villainess didn't come in with you. No hexes, don't trash the place and we'll be more inclined to believe you." After that little speech, Raven left Jinx alone in her room.
It made for a long boring day so that night she decided that she wanted to take a shower, which was down the hall. Beastboy escorted Jinx from her room to the bathroom and locked her in. Beastboy went back to the Main room to continue video gaming with Cyborg.
'Graffiti, it's everywhere even in the teen heroes' tower. No wonder they can't clean it up in Jump City.' Thought Jinx as she read the message burned into the steel door.
She adjusted the shower to her desired temperature and undressed.
No, I am not going to obsessively describe the slow removal of each article of clothing' or the texture of her skin, or the curves of her body. Both Shego and Jinx have this strong desire for 'personal space' and privacy. Both women could hurt this author, so you will have to look elsewhere. 8)
Jinx had removed the two scrunches from her hair and was shampooing her pink, shoulder-length hair and had begun to relax when a black gloved hand appeared out of thin air.
"Oh no! Not again!" thought Jinx.
She braced herself as best she could and pulled the arm into the shower stall.
Kim and Ron slowly walked through Dr. Drakken's old lair until Ron tripped over a box with levers and buttons that had wires attached to Dr. Drakken's TV consol and both the box and the TV started to hum and the TV's screen became a medium grey.
Kim looked at Ron, "Dumb luck."
"Au contraire, not dumb luck but dumb skills." The blond replied with a thumbs up.
A slight but steady breeze could be felt by the two teen heroes as it blew towards the TV set. Kim's auburn/red hair streamed over her shoulders and towards the glowing television screen, the loose cargo pants of both teens rustled slightly as they walked reluctantly towards whatever it is Dr. Drakken had set up.
The mad scientist watched as the two teens approached the TV. Ever since Dr. Drakken had returned from that horrible dimension full of teen heroes, here he shuddered at the thought. He had been hiding, waiting for the moment when Kim Possible and her buffoon would show up. They always do, just to ruin his plans. Well this time he would let them try and stop Shego and 'him' but once they had gone into TV dimension compiler, he, Dr. Drakken would become the greatest villain of them all. Simply by walking out and turning off the machine and then destroying it, trapping Kim Possible out of this world and in another dimension forever.
Kim tried to contact Wade on her Kimmunicator but, for once Dr. Drakken had planned ahead and setup a 'white noise' generator to interfere with Kim's signal to Wade or anyone else. Kim shrugged and pocketed the communications device and without a word she impulsively stepped into the unknown.
As Kim pocketed the Kimmunicator Ron said worriedly, "KP, I think I know what you're planning to do and that's not such a good idea. If we get in trouble, nobody will know where we are and that's not good. Kim, KIM!...!" Too late she hadn't listened and vanished. No matter what he personally thought of it, "KP, I've got your back!" and followed her in.
Dr. Drakken was almost dancing with glee as he turned off the Dimension Compiler, then the TV, then he unplugged both machines, as a final touch Dr. Drakken ordered his eight remaining Destro-bots Mark I to destroy both the Dimension Compiler and the TV.
After the noise of mindless destruction had quieted down and the dust settled, Dr. Drakken peeked in to see the damage. The TV set was in shambles and the bodies and parts of Destro-bots Mark I littered the room and some where under all that metal junk must be the smashed and ruined Dimension Compiler. Now for the finishing touch, Dr. Drakken pushed the big red self destruct button and flew away in his VTOL as the lair exploded.
'It really a shame about Shego but if it gets Kim Possible out of the way, I can always hire a new sidekick from the Temp Agency.
Kim and Ron moved through the darkness towards the light and as they got closer there was sound.
"Hear that. I think its rain. We must be coming outdoors some place."
Ron was a step or two back and he was clearly worried. "KP, Kim, listen to me! How many times have you seen characters in the movies walk to the light and when they get there, what happens? They croak! You know as in DIE! KIM DO NOT WALK INTO THE LIGHT!"
Because of Ron's cautionary warning, Kim only put one arm into the light. Suddenly something seized her and Kin stumbled into the light off balance and was gone, Ron stood there and said softly to himself, "I told her and I told her…"
He squared his shoulders and look at the light where his KP had vanished, as he walked forward on shaking knees Ron recited the 23rd Psalm. As he too walked in the light because he had promised to watch Kim's back "no matter what."
Jinx pulled on the slender arm and threw Kim face first into back wall of the shower cubical and while the redhead was dazed and off balance Jinx struck hard and sure at the base of her neck. Even in her sodden and waterlogged condition Jinx recognized the unconscious teen heroine who sent her back here.
Jinx bent over to drag her out of the shower stall, 'Great now I'll get blamed for taking a shower with her also.'
Jinx was suddenly pushed upright and against the back wall by another hand coming out of thin air. Jinx realized that this hand that that was pushing against her chest was a man's.
"I'm coming Kim!" Cried Ron as he charged into the crowded space.
"Do you MIND?" Jinx cried as she forced Ron's hand back off away from her breast.
"Oppps!" Ron went red faced as he tried to back peddle, turn around, and look anywhere but at the naked teenaged girl in front of him. The end result of all these gyrations was that Ron slipped on a bar of soap and fell backwards out of the shower stall. As he thrashed about, he entangled himself in the plastic shower curtain, fell over the lip of the shower stall and hit his head on the bathroom sink.
Jinx turned off the water and dried off; she threw the damp towel over the unconscious and bleeding Kim. After she wrapped another towel around her body, Jinx walked over to the groaning cocooned Ron.
"Tried to cop a feel? What's the matter? Can't get enough from your girlfriend?" Jinx taunted as she prodded Ron with her bare foot.
Ron groaned, "Kim's not my girlfriend. I mean she is but she isn't. Kim's my best friend who happens to be a girl."
"So I just happened to be a 'freebie'." Jinx snarled and kicked Ron hard in the ribs.
Tangled up as he was in the shower curtain, there was no way for Ron to avoid the kick. 'Ow! That's gonna leave a bruise.'
Jinx, on the other hand, was hopping up and down on foot while holding the foot she had kicked Ron with. Jinx was certain that she had, at least stubbed her toes, maybe worse. 'Next time I'll make sure to wear my shoes and THEN kick him.'
Jinx hobbled over to the door after she dressed and banged on it to get someone's attention. After a while Jinx became tired of waiting, hexed the lock so that the door would open and walked down the empty hall to the Main Room.
There she announced that the Teen Titans had two more guests who were more or less unconscious in their bathroom. After she grabbed something recognizable to eat, Jinx calmly limped back to 'her room'.
The Titans (minus Robin who is still on the sick list until Raven or a Doctor says otherwise) all rushed to see who their new 'guests' were.
Both Ron and Kim were carried into the hallway.
Raven intoned, "We should check them for weapons."
Beastboy was standing near Kim and volunteered, "Okay." Then he morphed into an octopus only to see Raven glare at him.
"Starfire, you and I will check the young woman in one of the rooms. BB and Cy can check the young man. After they are disarmed place each one in a separate holding cell."

Shego did 'throw' her energy in the ep. Emotion Sickness as well as other episodes and in Season 4 is seems to be giving her comet powers a real workout. "Fire in the hole!"
