Chp. 8 Shattered
Shego sat in a swivelling chair in front of a huge computer system. She'd already completed one objective she'd been set and she knew the second would not take long to arrive.
She held the newly burned CD up to the light, admiring the way it reflected the light, 'Why am I doing this there's no- We did it because we wanted to, no goodie two-shoes kid will get in the way now, Talon's to good to be caught, Kimmie would have helped- No she wouldn't! Get over it Shelia, it's over and Shego has one more job then you'll be gone and we'll be in Talon' Shego put the CD in her lap and clutched her head, the static painful, although she had noticed one voice was definitely stronger now.
Tired of being still Shego got up and started placing, fiddling with her new outfit, it was the same as Talon's and the bare-midriff thing was getting to her, "How does Kim-"
Before she could complete her question the door to the room swung open, "How do I what, Shego?" said Kim, her voice stronger than how she felt inside.
Shego smirked and the static left her mind as she spoke, "How do you fight so good in that trashy outfit? I mean, I appreciate the view but it can't be practical."
"It's practical enough that I've beaten you every time we've fought." Kim countered, her heart shattering on every venomous word passing through their lips.
"Well, Princess, there's nothing to hold me back now is there? Seeing as I couldn't get you to put out, I found a new friend to help me with everything' Shego's smirk grew at Kim's recoil from her words and she took her opening and lunged, hands glowing at her opponent.
Kim dodged at the last second but was surprised at the kick which hit her stomach, slamming her against the wall, where she found herself pinned, "Surprised Kimmie? Oh, this position is familiar isn't it? Sorry we couldn't play some more but I've got my orders" Shego's glowing hand approaching her forehead was the last thing Kim saw before she fell unconscious.
Shego activated the microphone on her top, "Both objectives achieved, on my way back now." She nodded as the reply came through her ear piece.
-Hidden Location-
"Well done Shelia, it was very impressive to see you work to some of your potential." Said Talon, as they secured the still unconscious Kim into her restraints.
"Well, I got her and the information, now give me my stuff." Replied Shego, straight to the point.
"Shelia, I don't think you need it, think about it. Are the arguments still happening in your head? And the job went a lot better then any of your previous ones, why would you want to go back to the weak pup you were before?" Talon's voice was even, not even an inkling of emotion showed through.
"You have a point but I don't like to work for people who don't keep their word. And the name is back to Shego, Shelia isn't wanted by anyone." Shego's voice was just as emotionless as Talon's.
Talon smirked, "But I have kept my word, your mind is clear now, and even if it isn't in the way you thought, I've got Kim Possible back for you, what haven't I done?"
Shego frowned, "I assumed-"
"Never assume anything Shego, which is the first lesson you'll learn working for me." Talon interrupted, "The second is not to let silly things like emotions hold you down, I mean, see where it got you with Kim. Now basic instincts I can understand, the instinct to fight, hell, even lust but love doesn't exist to me and now it doesn't to you. Don't you feel free?" Talon's smile was a little less than sane but Shego didn't notice as her attention was on the slowly awakening Kim.
"Well, what are you going to do with her? I mean, she's nothing to do-" a slap to the face quickly stopped Shego's words.
"Lesson number three, never question me. She is everything to do with you, Shego. I'd like to talk to her and show you that she's worth nothing!"
'No, she's worth everything! Didn't you hear Talon? Love doesn't exist but the lust thing I'm sure we could deal with, I have to admit we had good taste in Kimmie she's a lot easier to handle went she's quiet. Shut up, I won't think of Kim like that and I won't let you!'
Shego's hands rushed up to grip her head, the static back full force. Talon rubbed her back, in what would have been a soothing way, if the smile on her face wasn't chilling, "You see, letting yourself feel just let all that pain come back. When Kim wakes up we will cure this bout, then I'll start your true training to make sure the feeling never comes back."
The voice was quiet but it reached both Talon's and Shego's ears, "Shelia?" Kim's voice was weak.
Kim's automatic use of her real name caused the static in Shego to double; her claws grew in response to the pain and pricked her skin causing tiny rivulets of blood to run down Shego's face, the red sharply contrasting to the pale green of her skin.
Talon walked out of where they had been in the shadows, "Good evening, Kim Possible and welcome to my headquarters. Don't bother to search for any of your gadgets, they were all removed and disabled when you were escorted in. Don't you worry about Shelia, Kimberly; Shego will be here in a moment."
Talon reached into the shadows behind her and pulled out an unusually pale Shego, who was shaking slightly as she looked down at Kim but when they finally made eye contact the shaking stopped and Shego's forest green eyes became as cold as ice. Kim couldn't help but shiver at the look in those eyes and the sight of blood running down Shego's face.
"Now Shego, don't you have something to say before we retire for the evening?" Talon's voice was sickeningly sweet.
Shego gathered herself, the static fading as her resolve grew, "You know, Kimmie, it wasn't even a good thing we had, so I can say, you are worth nothing to me anymore and thanks for showing me love is a weakness."
Shego looked over at Talon, who smiled at Shego in approval before leading her out of the room, leaving Kim in the small, dark room, alone. A single tear fell to the floor as her shattered heart cried for her lost loved one.
