Disclaimer: I don't own anyone except for War Hawk, Tigress, Golden Arrow, Theygo, Artica, Metaphor, Yougo, and Mischief. I wish I owned Shego, Scooby Doo, and Drakken.

Ron looked down at his hand.

"Talk to Hego about Shego." He read what Kim had written. He looked at the channel of water between the mainland and the Go Tower.

She really shouldn't have just dropped him off and expected him to figure stuff like this out.

Just as he was about to test the water to see if it was too cold to swim across, a bridge emerged out of the water. A black mini-van drove across. He ran after it as the bridge began to sink behind it.

He lept onto the other side as the bridge sank to the bottom of the water.

A black high heel stepped down in front of him. His eyes followed up to a nylon-clothed leg, up to a black skirt, up to a black business jacket with a white blouse, up to long black hair that ended in a tip not unlike Kim's, finally ending at a pair of questioning yellow eyes.

"Ron, what are you doing here?" She asked.

&&&

"Miss Possible, the warden will see you now." Kim stood and followed the guard into Mr. Malcom Smyte's office.

The burly director of the Massachusetts State Prison was leaning back in his chair. He sat up as she came in.

"Miss Possible, have a seat." He welcomed. She eased herself into the chair in front of him.

"What can I do for you today?" He asked.

The guard remained at the door, neither leaving nor making himself comfortable.

"I need to talk to one of your inmates. I couldn't find his real name, but he goes by Yougo." Mr. Smyte furrowed his brow.

"Yougo...sounds familiar. Jameson, what do you make of it?" He addressed the guard at the door.

"He was on death row for a few months, sir, until he killed Ellesworth last week. We sent him to the eletric chair that Friday, sir." Kim's eyes widened.

"Thank you, Jameson. Kim, there's your answer."

Kim walked out of the office sad and a little scared. How was Shego going to take the news her father had been executed for murder?

&&&

Ron scrambled to his feet.

"How do you know me? No one knows me, well, remembers my name, and I'm not even sure if we've met."

"We haven't. Your girlfriend fights my daughter." She was pretty, whoever she is. And nice.

She went around and opened the trunk.

"I do?" He tried to think. But she was so pretty...

"Shego, works for Drew Lipsky."

"You mean Drakken?"

"Call 'em what you like." She gathered several bags of groceries in her arms and tried to close the trunk.

Ron reached up and shut it for her.

"Thanks."

"No problem. Want me to help you with those?"

"Nah. But I would appreciate it if you'd open the front door for me." Ron rushed over and did as she requested.

"Eager, aren't you? Wish my boys were like that when it came to their chores." She murmured, strolling in.

They had never been in this story before of the Go Tower. To the left was a family room with a long leather couch, a reclining leather chair that spun around, and a huge high def t.v. complete with a game system and tons of games.

To the right was the kitchen, where Shego's mom set the groceries on the counter. Next to it was the dining room.

She looked more like a sister than a mother, Ron thought. She moved like Shego, deliberately putting away the groceries as though she was angry. But until you looked into her eyes she didn't seem old.

She looked up at him. Her eyes were pained, tired, angry, and even maybe lonely. You could tell she had been through a lot.

"Why are you here?" She asked. He referred to his hand.

"Talk to Hego."

"I'm sorry, but Hego's working late tonight. Maybe I could tell you what you need to know." She offered.

"Yes, um... it has something to do with Shego...ah, I can't remember." He squinted at his hand as though Kim might have written it there.

"Kind of hard to help you if you don't know why you came." She remarked.

"I'll probl'y remember later." He said.

Shego's mother thought a minute, putting away some cans in the pantry.

"Maybe you should stay for dinner. Hego should be home by then and maybe your memory will kick in."

"Sounds great!" Ron said a little too quickly.

Kim wouldn't mind. It was for the noble cause of Shego, after all.

&&&

"Why won't Ron answer?" Kim asked Wade. Wade shrugged.

"Left his cell phone off?"

"He always has it on." Which wasn't a good thing during school hours.

She was sitting against the prison wall, unsure of what to do. If Ron couldn't dig up anything from Shego's brothers, they were dead. Who knew how long Drakken could keep the girls occupied with their minds on War Hawk?

"I could tap into the Go Tower's security and see what I can pick up." Wade offered.

"Please and thank you."

The screen went blank and then there was an image of a dining room. Wegos 1 and 2 were at one end with a scowling Mego. A woman sat at the head with a frowning Hego on her left and a grinning Ron at her right.

"This is really good, Mrs. Go." He complimented.

"Thanks. I just followed the instructions on the box." She said, chewing her macaroni and cheese thoughtfully.

"Good instruction-following. You know-"

"Have you remembered what you came here for?" She interrupted him. Ron's eyes went blank.

"I can tap into the intercom system..." Wade hinted.

"Please and thank you." Kim growled.

Ron was in the middle of wondering if there was a Mr. Go was when the intercom crackled to life.

"Ron."

"Kim!" Ron jumped up, his chair clattering to the ground.

"What are you doing?"

"I was just asking about to ask them about Shego."

"And what are you going to ask them about Shego?"

"Uhhhh..."

"Exactly. Get outside; I had Wade set up a ride for you."

"But the question..."

"Forget the question. I just want you to stop flirting with Shego's mom."

"Thank you for exposing the pink elephant!" She shouted gratefully, throwing her hands in the air.

Ron looked down, blushing.

"Um, yeah. I should go now." He said sheepishly.

"Now, Ron." Kim said. He scampered towards the door.

He looked back.

"Was it really that obvious?"

"That you were hitting on my mother in front of me?" Hego growled.

Mego turned to Ron.

"If Hego gets it, then it's obvious."

Kim turned off her Kimmunicator, head in her hands.

"Now how I am ever going to save War Hawk?"

"She's in danger?" A whiny voice asked.

Kim looked up. Staring at her was no other than Avarius in an orange prison jump suit.

"Kind of." She lied.

"What kind of danger?" He looked very worried.

She stood up and walked over to the chain link fence that separated her from the prison rec area.

"How do you know War Hawk?" Kim asked.

"She's my daughter. What kind of danger?" He repeated, his voice getting more urgent.

Maybe, just maybe, Kim thought. Like she had any other hopes unless she could track down Shego's pre-k teacher.

"Tigress kidnapped her." Avarius's eyes widened.

"This has something to do with Shego, doesn't it?"

"Come on, bird man, back to your cage." A couple of guards walked up to them.

He looked like he was about to fight, but his head sank in defeat. He let them escourt him away.

"Wait, I need to talk to him!" Kim shouted, jogging up beside them.

"Sorry, miss, visiting hours are over."

"You don't understand; this could be a matter of life or death."

"If it's that important, it can wait until tomorrow." They opened a door and walked into the main building.

"I don't know if it can." Kim whispered.

&&&

Out of every kind of crime Kim had heard of, breaking into prison was a new one. She used her laser lipstick and sliced the bars off of the windows of Avarius's cell. She squeezed in and fell onto his bed.

Avarius jumped, nearly spilling the glass of water he was drinking. He settled down when he saw it was Kim.

"Why did Tigress kidnap my daughter?" He asked urgently.

Kim proceeded to tell him everything she knew, from the garage sale to when Avarius saw her talking on her Kimmunicator. He listened intently, nodding every once in awhile, not interrupting until she finished.

"I never could trust a cat." Avarius declared, thinking for a couple more minutes.

"Shego was very high strung at that age, but most children are. She helped War Hawk through some hard things that year."

"You've known Shego that long?" Kim asked in amazement. Avarius nodded.

"Oh yes. Robin was Theygo's first friend when they moved from Wisconsin, they being Shego's parents. The girls are so close in age and look so much alike, we used to get them confused all the time before they developed their personalities more." Avarius frowned.

"That was a bad year for both families. I lost Robin and it devastated War Hawk. For the first few months, she wouldn't let Shego out of her sight."

That night when Shego was taking a shower... "Don't leave me!"... War Hawk's sudden breakdown wasn't as much about Tigress as Kim had thought.

"We had a falling out soon after that. Our...parental techniques were too different and there were...problems I didn't want to expose War Hawk to." He chose his words carefully. Kim nodded understandingly.

Avarius turned to her.

"You have been giving her green tea, haven't you?" Kim shook her head.

"Why would I give her a natural energy drink before bed?" She laughed.

"She's asked for it, no doubt."

"Every night."

"Then I'm afraid you've brought whatever she's done to you upon yourself. She can't sleep without her nightly cup of green tea, especially when she's stressed like this. I don't get it either, but whatever works."

"But what if it doesn't work?"

"Horror movies. She loves her horror movies. A marathon will keep her still for the whole day. Tickling her gets her in a better mood occasionally, but never tickle her neck. Most importantly, give her attention. She'll insist she doesn't need it, but if you keep at it long enough she'll turn into the sweetest girl."

"Thank you very much. I'll get your daughter back, I promise."

"What do you mean by you? This is Shego's territory you're crossing into. You're going to have to trust her." Sure, as far as I can throw her when she's an adult.

Kim left the window open.

"Look at all the tickets we got from squishing the spiders!" Mischief exclaimed, her eyes lighting up.

"We have enough to get the giant Scooby Doo!" Drakken said excitedly.

Sometimes movies just weren't enough. Thank goodness for J.C. Berrymore's, even though now he was broke buying all those tokens. Mischief, who hadn't let go of his hand since they started stomping spiders a half hour ago, dragged him along.

"Why can't we count this as a date?" She asked.

"Because you're underaged."

"What about when I'm an adult again?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because of Shego."

"Why?"

"Because I'm afraid of her."

"Why?"

"Because she has glowing green hands."

"Why?"

"Because a comet struck her tree house."

"Why?"

"Because that's the way God wanted it."

"Why?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

Drakken looked over to the booth. Artica was sleeping and Shego's fingers were flying across a cell phone's keypad. That better not be his cell phone.

"Shego, whose cellphone is that?"

"Ron's."

"What are you doing?"

"Texting." He looked around. The only people he would expect her to text were right here.

"Who are you texting?"

"Idk, my bff War Hawk."

Artica jolted up. The girls all crowded around Shego.

"What about War Hawk?"

"I was texting her, but Tigress just found out and now is texting me. Oh. Oh. Ew." Her face twisted like she had just sucked on a lemon.

"What is her problem?" Metaphor muttered.

"Just because she's a female cat and you're her opposite, it doesn't make you that." Golden Arrow shook her head.

"What is she texting?" Drakken held out his hand for the phone. Shego cleared the memory quickly. He did NOT need to read what she had said about him, her, and them.

"What did she say?" Artica murmured, rubbing at her eyes.

"She thinks they're heading for Go City 'cause its starting to look familiar. She's a teenager now; apparently there was a skirmish with the Juv...Juvin...the deaging thing." Shego flushed, angry that she couldn't pronounce "Juvinator".

"Anything else? Did she escape from Tigress? Does Tigress have her now?" Drakken hoped. Shego shook her head.

"I'm lucky she had enough time to tell me that much, but it sounds like Tigress still has her."

"We should call Kim." Golden Arrow said. The others stared at her.

"After what Kim said to her?" Mischief laughed.

Drakken looked around. The girls were drooping like unwatered flowers. Artica's head was bobbing up and down. Letting go of Mischief's hand, he picked Artica up.

"Girls, it's past your bedtimes. Let's just go back and talk this whole thing over some glasses of cocoa moo and green tea. Golden Arrow, you're in charge of getting the Scooby Doo. I'll pull up front." Golden Arrow nodded, taking their pile of tickets and dashing off towards the prize counter.

He did a head count of the girls and saw the disappointment on Mischief's face. He reached out his hand and she looked at it. Then, she looked up at him.

"But...Shego..."

"She won't kill me if we just holds hands, do you think?" A big grin wiped away the frown as she took his hand.

Golden Arrow carried the Scooby Doo with both arms, the Scooby Doo being twice as big as her. She looked around its bulk to see Drakken carrying the sleeping Artica (despite the fact her breath was starting to freeze his shoulder) in one arm, holding Mischief's hand in the other. She was finally starting to see why a girl like Shego was with a guy like Drakken.

&&&

War Hawk sat, feet drawn up under her, her shoulders drawing inward, her arms wrapped around her midriff. She would think now that she was thirteen she would be less afraid. She was stronger, taller, had a clearer more realistic thought process, and had her wings back. But Tigress was still older, still stronger, and had locked her up in the basement.

Tigress was looking through the texts she had manage to send to Shego, using her theiving skills to get it from Tigress while they had their skirmish after War Hawk made a break for it. She had scratched up her arms very good; she couldn't move them without pain shooting through her body.

She couldn't fly back to Middleton, even if she knew how to fly there. Her wings at thirteen had been barely strong enough to fly the length of Go City. The only way she could think of was to escape and fly to the Go Tower. Hego would help her and the others out; combining Shego's smarts and Hego's brawn would definetely drive Tigress away for awhile.

"This could actually work to my advantage." Tigress said, grinning. War Hawk could see the plan slowly forming in her eyes.

"Shego knows we're in Go City. Kim won't come here immediately because of school. Shego will get here without Kim and...yes." Tigress petted War Hawk's head.

"You're turning out to be more useful than I thought."

Please review, it's the only way I know how to improve.
