Paper Hearts
Phase 7: Lies
Morning broke from the dark sky that was lingering over Shego's pad. She was awake, earlier than she usually would like to wake from. Why? It was because she's looking out for a certain red head princess. Shego sighed before picking up the blanket that was lying on the floor. She glanced at the aforementioned teenager who was curled up like a fetus on her couch, her lips twitched downward, frowning at the poor state of the girl. Then again, where would she place her? She had only one other room left besides the one she was using and the girl before her strongly declined and let the white haired teenager occupy it, stating that 'Lynn needed it more than I do'. So Shego had suggested that the girl sleep on her couch, certainly she would not want to sleep on her own couch instead of her perfectly luxurious bed, so that became their arrangement for the night.
Shego re-placed the blanked over Kim, carefully so as not to wake the girl up. Shego sighed. This will definitely be a secret. She leaned down to brush the stray strand of hair from the teen hero. Letting her pale hands linger for a short while.
"What would I do with you?" she whispered. Kim stirred; Shego got startled and quickly withdrew her hand. The teacher took a step back from the couch, careful not to cause anymore disturbance, she smirked one last time at the view she had. She left.
Kim's eyes opened, wondering what her teacher said before she felt that the woman left her to make some breakfast. She groaned, she felt the care and it was getting to her. She turned her back and faced the couch's back rest as if she wanted to block out everything from her sight, even the smell of the pancakes wafting towards the living room. She groaned again. This will definitely not do. A woman that cares, that's smart and can cook was the ideal one for Kim, even if she was sarcastic almost every time. Kim Possible rolled her eyes at the mere thought.
"Wade I hate that you were always right" muttered the hero. Well, it was now or face another embarrassing feat with the woman she liked. Kim stood up from the couch, straightening her clothes and her back as it was aching from the awkward position she had been when she slept. Her feet automatically walked towards the heavenly smell, sniffing the pancakes made her mouth water. Soon she was at the kitchen door, leaning at its frame. The teenager took in her surroundings, it was clean, it was giving off a good vibe and it has the most wonderful woman she had met in it. Kim wondered if this was the life she was looking for; Having a girlfriend that cooks, funny, smart, caring and feisty in her own way. Simple. It was just simple yet it was perfect. It was breathtaking. But would she give this all up for the life thrill she has right now or the justice she was seeking for? She wondered. Kimberly Anne Possible massaged her forehead; this was harder than it seemed to be. She thought to herself.
Kim watched Shego's back as she flipped the pancakes on her stove, and stirred the jams.
"Thanks for letting us sleep here" she started.
"Grab some plates from the cupboard, will you?" was Shego's only reply. Kim waltz around the kitchen and towards the mentioned cupboard, she took out three plates of plain white china. She noticed how simple her teacher really was despite her taste in clothing which was fashionable in one sense.
"I supposed you want to hear the explanation now…" Kim trailed off.
"Might want to know how you ended up using drugs" Shego just continued on with flipping the pancakes and putting the batter on her pan, Kim shrugged and placed the acquired plates on the table and sat down quietly, her eyes looking at Shego's well formed back.
"I was not using drugs. She was drugged" Kim said with a firm resolve "She was shot with a dart gun with drugs"
Shego suddenly turned around and faced Kim with ferocity in her eyes. "Well, who the hell had the dart gun, Kimmie?" she demanded.
"I don't know. Someone was out to get Lynn and I was just with her"
"Lynn. That pretty faced stunt maniac right, you should know when to back out from trouble Kim. You were lucky that I even had the decency as a teacher to help you, unlike those other regular teachers who are hell bent to discipline their students" with that she turned to her cooking, and flipped the pancakes again.
"Alright, I know. I just can't snoop around other people's business but-"
"No buts. Let the grownups handle that. Have you ever heard of the police Kimmie?"
"I- I just wanted to help"
That conversation did not turn out well as Kim would have hoped; she wanted to protest that she wanted Lynn out of trouble but for what price? She did not want to drag her teacher in it as well so she stayed quiet. She already dragged Ron in her own selfish sense of justice and now he was hurt because of Yori's state. Kim sighed for the nth time that hour. She had to stop dragging people in and start getting them out of the way of trouble.
Kim's communicator started to vibrate, she knew she needed to report to Wade, to Dr. Director but how would she say that she had Lynn blew her cover and confessed she turned good and was not playing for the team they were out to get? She wanted the stunt actress to get a pardon from her past mistakes but how. Kim started to think of the possible ways Global Justice can make Lynn talk, would they send out the girl again to the mental ward? Would they think she's even crazy? Kim growled silently, this was not the justice she wanted, she did not want anyone to get hurt or be tormented, even if the person was evil before. Kim grudgingly opened her Kimmunicator and Wade's face came up.
She stood up from her chair and went back to the living room, or somewhere in the house that she can talk privately.
"Wade."
"You look like hell Kim, I kept contacting you yesterday, and it was like your Kimmunicator signal got jammed"
"I didn't notice, I was busy fighting off you know who"
"Where are you at? GJ wanted to inform you, that you have a mission order at 900 hours"
"A mission order, early this morning?"
"It looks like they want you as back up for some agent. It looks like they're up to something big this time Kim and they didn't just ping Miss S"
"Who else did they call on to?"
"Lord Montey Feisk, Duff Kiligan and Electronique"
"Those villains are already under Global Justice's Maximum Security Detention Ward. What happened?"
"GJ said they were 'classified' information. It looks to me they don't know what's going on. They were taken aback when Miss S single handedly infiltrated the Detention Facility in the Bahamas" Wade said "and released those three"
"What the fuck is going on?" Kim muttered to herself. "Is Ron coming too?"
"He has to, since Yori's awake, he's been meaning to settle it with Monkey Fist ever since the incident at the warehouse"
"Alright, I'll be there, get me a ride around the vicinity, but not close to this house"
"Got 'cha"
Kim went to the kitchen in hopes of talking to her teacher. She knew they had to talk about things with truth eventually but she just wasn't ready yet, she wasn't ready to tell anyone yet. Kim found Shego, there she was sipping her second cup of coffee of the day and engrossed at the book in her hand.
"I need to go" Kim stated as she combed her hair to at least straighten it out. Shego just looked at her from the book she was holding up and waved a signal that she may leave. Kim dashed out the door, but without stating that she'd comeback for Lynn later. The door closed shut and Shego took it as a sign that the girl had really left. Shego stood up and straightened her clothes, she left her mug and book at her dining table.
[North Colorado, Facility C, Global Justice 9:00 AM]
The shots were loud, it rang at her ears as she and Ron tried to evade incoming lasers of the hacked security system of the facility. Kim dodged another laser attack and rolled to the other side letting the wall cover her.
Red flashed by her face, barely missing her. Her hair burnt.
"Damn it, my hair!" Kim whined. "That's it! I'm not sitting out here like a duck" Kim grumbled. "Ron, make Rufus disable the mechanism inside!" Kim ordered, Ron nodded and told his mole rat to enter the shaft and find something to disable them, even if it has to be blown up. Rufus saluted and went in to the nearest air shaft.
One by one the laser malfunctioned and halted the attacks. Rufus suddenly emerged from one of them and dropped down perfectly on Ron's head. Kim nodded in approval and patted the mole rat's head. Kim and Ron continued their run towards the command central area, where they have a hunch that whoever is making things go hay wire was there.
Kim followed the signs heading to the control center. The doors were seemingly endless as they ran to the source; they need to get there and fast. Alas, the duo found it. Kim kicked the door flat out. The door burst opened and she stopped. The surroundings were pitch-black except for the three screens that glowed on the farthest corner. Kim heard a click, and she knew all too well what it was.
"Hands on the back of your head"
Kim gulped, she reluctantly raised her hands to the back of her head, she knew better to disobey than have her head shot with a gun so close to her temple. Kim's eyes wandered to the very left corner in hopes she could see the one who pointed the damn thing at her.
"I don't think that's a very good idea, guns are dangerous"
"Of course they are dangerous, doy, this can kill anyone" the voice stated "even if it's just a stun gun"
Kim smirked as she found the loop hole in her situation. "Better hold on to that tight" Kim grabbed the gun by its end and flipped the holder's hand. The stun gun was now skittering down the floor.
"Ron the lights!"
"G-got it KP!"
The holder of the weapon gave Kim a punch on her own sending the teenager to the floor. Then next the holder sent a kick flying her way, and then they continued to dance in a pure martial arts routine; a kick, a punch to the gut, and a sweep at the feet. Kim wondered for a second, how someone could be this good. She was getting exhausted and her eyes were barely adjusting to the light. Kim ducked as she felt an arm go by her right cheek; she grabbed the arm and tugged it hard sending the owner to the floor.
It happened so fast, that Kim can't grasp it until she saw the holder's clothes. Kim had noticed the small golden pin of global justice at the holder's collar as it flew by her. Kim knew it was an ally, and it was the agent they were to help.
"Hold up. I'm Agent Possible" Kim calmly stated and raised her hands in the air. The person beneath her sucked her breath. The lights went on and the rest just stopped for the both of them.
"This can't be possible" Kim said. "Shego"
"Well hey there Kimmie, didn't know that Global Justice sent you to my aid" she replied. "Well, will you help me up? I think we still need to catch those crooks on the screen"
Shego pointed to the screen. Kim looked dumbfounded, what was this all about, Shego lied to her? No. Global Justice did. As an agent they are bound to secrecy, Shego could not tell that she herself was an agent of GJ, neither did Kim but what's with this set up? She was utterly confused.
"B-But why?"
"I told you no 'Buts' Kim"
"How-" Kim was cut off by Ron's call. Her head quickly turned to his direction.
"KP. It's Miss S and-" Ron was by the screen of the surveillance footage. He saw everything, what they were up too. Kim noticed the sudden change of mood in Ron "Monkey Fist" when he finally said those words, she knew why.
"Damn, where are they?" Kim stood up from her fall and ran over to Ron. Kim looked at the screen, she saw the four villains running towards the hanger, dodging or rather attacking all the personnel and bots on patrol towards a black jet. A special jet issued to Global Justice's agents.
"They're at the 6th hangar" Shego simply stated as she dusted herself off. She grabbed the gun that was under the control panels and head towards the door "We have to hurry; they already got what they needed, and they're getting my jet"
"What did they need?"
"It's classified" Shego walked away from the duo and headed for the direction of the sixth hangar, Kim followed with Ron trailing by her side. "Why the fuck did they choose my jet of all things" she muttered to herself. Kim ignored the comment and continued to press for answers on Shego's previous answer.
"How can it be classified to us, we're involved in this" Kim demanded.
"You don't need to know Kim" Shego stopped, and looked back at Kim, her eyes hard as stone, determined to make the teenager understand the situation. "You don't need to know." Shego ran off and disappeared at the corner which led to hangar six.
Kim sighed. What the hell was going on? It seems to her that everyone was keeping something from her. She was going crazy if another soul would make her feel left out again. Ron placed his hands on her shoulders. Kim looked at her best friend's eyes and just simply nodded.
"Let's go, we have villains to catch"
[Sixth Hangar]
"Oh no you fucking don't" Shego launched herself at the jet's door which was about to close. Kim followed suit with her trustee hook shooter. Ron managed to get to the hangar command tower and closed the gates. The jet lifted off the ground while Shego and Kim were still hanging on. Miss S appeared her hands lit up with majestic yet deadly green light.
"Tsk. . I never thought you'd be hanging on for dear life just for me, Pumpkin"
"You!"
"Ah… Well I don't kill darlings so I'll let you off this jet easy. One is that you personally let go or I make you let go and fall" she said.
"Oh no you don't get to be the fucking boss of me!" Shego screamed. She continued trying to get a grip on her jet's door but she knew in a few seconds she'd be slipping and would fall to her death. Kim knew that Shego cannot hold on for much longer and she was not expecting something miraculous would come from Miss S' condition. It was let Shego die, get the jet and retrieve the thing that was stolen or forget the jet, let the stolen thing go and save Shego. Kim chose the latter.
"Tick tock Pumpkin" Miss S gave small plasma blast near Shego's hands. Those hands fell to her side and the only part that was hanging on where her fingers.
"Fuck it! Kim get the jet! Don't mind me. We need to retrieve it" Shego pleaded. "KIM!"
"I- I-"
"I'm getting impatient Pumpkin" Miss S went to Shego and stepped on the fingers. Kim only heard Shego's screams of pain.
"Damn it KIM!"
"I won't do that if I were you. I could easily kill you both at that state" the villainess said. "I just have to burn that rope of yours and it's bye-bye miss goodie-two-shoe" Shego screamed in agony as the villainess stepped harder on her fingers. Soon she knew that Shego had given up and her fingers gave away.
"Kim!" She heard Ron's voice.
"I-I'm sorry Shego" That was it, Shego had let go, she was falling. She detached the hook from its hold and swung to save Shego's falling form. Kim could only hear the faint laughter of the villainess and the blast of the hangar doors. The jet flew away from them, the information with it.
"DAMN IT!" Shego could only scream.
