Kim Possible: Morality's Choice - Chapters 3.3 - 3.5 - Truths & Consequences
Electronique gave a guttural scream as her own electricity tore back through her, her body straining against her chains. Shego just and watched in silence, waiting for her to quiet. Finally Electronique's body went slack again the chains and the screams and sizzling that had filled the air grew quiet.
"Not much of a water person are you sparky?"
Shego dropped the empty bucket she held in her hand and stared down at the once mighty villainess, a cold smirk on her lips as she spoke.
"If you think that hurt wait until you see what happens when I toss you in my pool."
Electronique hung her head as remnants of electricity continued to sparked across her dripping body. Her voice came weakly, already showing a hoarseness.
"Shego...please...it hurts.…"
Shego's face grew dark and the smirk she had been wearing vanished.
"Hurts? HURTS? You have no fucking idea what hurt is. Hurt is seeing someone I care about stare back at me with hollow empty eyes because you gave Global Justice a device that striped her of everything that made her special and unique. Hurt is having to watch her smile and laugh at all the injustices in her life because she can't fucking do anything else. Hurt is knowing they mentally raped her and got away with it because they're the "good guys".
Shego's eyes seem to glaze slightly as she continued to speak.
"I know exactly what kind of hell she is going through right now, I know what it does to you…to who you are…it's a prison worse then you can ever imagine."
She blinked momentarily and focused her eyes back onto Electronique as she lit both her hands in bright green flames.
"I'm going to make sure you spend the rest of your life knowing exactly what that kind of hurt feels like if you do not build me another reverse polarizer"
A weak but worried look crossed Electronique's face. She knew from the venom in Shego's words that the thief wasn't exaggerating. She may have been all good, but the instinct for self preservation still resided within her. It was something that was neither good nor evil and right now it was telling her to do exactly what Shego said. Resigned, Electronique meekly nodded her head causing Shego to extinguish her hands and smile a not at all reassuring smile.
"Good. Now, lets get you started."
:Global Justice:
Though Betty stood beside her chief technician as he went over his daily report, her mind was elsewhere. Shego had Electronique, which meant soon Shego would have her own reverse polarizer, it was only a matter of time. She mentally berated herself for underestimating Shego and for letting the conversion of Kim make her overconfident. As the situation stood now, Kim Possible was the center piece in a war between good and evil and if Betty wanted to come out the victor, her best hope was making sure that Kim Possible stayed as far away from Shego as possible. She frowned slightly as this thought. That was not going to be an easy task. She could not simply lock up Miss Possible, not while the entire world was still watching their returned hero, nor while her family was keeping a constant vigil on their daughter. Her only option at this moment appeared to be to assign a constant series of men to shadow Miss Possible and ensure that any missions she went on kept her within Global Justice's reach. Betty nodded to both herself and the chief technician as he completed his report and reached for the communication device on her belt.
"Mr. Stoppable, respond."
Ron frowned as he slid on his mission clothes. Betty only contacted him when it was bad news. He didn't even know why she kept him around, they had gotten Kim back, wasn't his job with her done?
"What is it? Kim and I were just about to set out for Africa. Some scientist had his heard of elephants escape and now they are wrecking villages."
"I will send a squad to handle the issue. You and Miss Possible are to meet me outside of the briefing room in five minutes. Is that understood?"
Ron gave a sigh. He had learned over the past year that arguing with Betty Director never went his way and so he had long since resigned himself to simply taking the easiest route and agreeing with whatever it was she had said.
"Fine. I'll tell Kim. But you owe me a Bueno Nacho dinner. Kim and I always went after a mission."
Betty found Ron and Kim waiting outside the room as ordered and faced them both.
"Mr. Stoppable follow me inside, Miss Possible you are to wait out here until we return is that understood?"
Kim gave a broad smile.
"Sure, no problem."
Ron looked mildly surprised at Kim's exclusion but followed Betty into the room. As the door closed behind them he spoke up.
"Why did you say Kim had to come if your making her wait outside? Oooh are we planning some sort of surprise party for her?"
Betty was in no mood for pointless banter and spoke immediately.
"Mr. Stoppable, we have a situation. While you and Miss Possible were out on one of your missions yesterday Shego attacked this base."
Ron's eyes widened in surprise and felt the color leave his face.
"Oh no. Tell me she didn't get what I think she got."
"She did not. The attack was only a ruse to distract us while she kidnapped Electronique from her plastic prison."
Ron's moth fell open in shock.
"Oh no. No no no no no."
Betty simple glared.
"Mr. Stoppable compose yourself. At this time we do not know what Shego is planning, however Electronique's capture makes it clear that she intends to have her own reverse polarizer built and return Miss Possible to her previous state. Ron gulped loudly, the very thought of the occurrence sending a phantom pain shooting through his casted arm and leg.
"That is an outcome neither of us wishes to see, I am sure. To that end I want you to stay with Miss Possible at all times.…"
"But...but...I can't fight Shego. I mean look at me."
Ron motioned to his casts, as if believing Betty hadn't noticed them before.
"You will not be fighting Shego. If you get even the slightest inkling that Shego may be near you are to summon the rest of your team and exit that area as quickly as possible. I will have a constant guard shadowing you and Miss Possible at all times, but you are the only individual who can stay with her and not arouse any needless worry or suspicion."
Ron hung his head. The idea that Shego could be lurking around any corner or in any shadow was a scary thought, but it paled to the memory of Kim standing over him, her foot on his neck, ready to kill him. As he turned and walked out of the room the image of Bonnie lying in a hospital bed, clinging to life, played repeatedly in his mind. He still couldn't look at Kim without a feeling of guilt for what they had made of her welling up inside of him, but he knew it was better to have her like this then to let her be the monster she had been. Somehow though, that knowledge still didn't make him feel right.
:The next night:
Shego pulled the list from off her belt and scanned the items listed as she slipped silently through the isles of the darkened store. The materials Electronique required to build a new reverse polarizer weren't hard to come bye, for the most part, but a few of the more high-tech components required some late night shopping trips at some of the higher end electronic stores in Middleton. Shego was well aware of the risk that so many repeated night time break ins presented, patterns meant a higher chance of unwanted company, but she had so far been able to get in and out long before the police arrived. It was a streak that ended the moment she heard the front door open and a hushed voice echo from out of the shadows.
"Kim this is a bad idea, you know Betty said we were supposed to check with her before going on any missions."
"It's sweet of her to worry about us Ron, but we can handle this. We've caught robbers before, it's no big."
Shego swore under her breathe and pressed herself against the shelves behind her. She couldn't run the risk of the doofus catching sight of her and find out she was still in the area and she sure as hell couldn't let Kimmie see her. She crept as low as she could along floor, doing her best to keep her sack of loot from creating any unneeded noise when she heard Kim's voice, only louder and closer.
"Mr. Robber, I'm Kim Possible. I'm sorry but you've got to give yourself up. I promise nothing really bad will happen to you."
Kim's naïvely sweet tone made Shego slightly nauseas, but the mix of anger and guilt she felt at her hand in Kim's current state soon quelled the feeling. She turned low around the end of the aisle, intending to slip back toward the high window she had slipped in through when Ron turned from the other side of the aisle and collide directly with her. Though Shego recovered quickly, it was not quick enough as Ron easily caught sight of her and gave a startled yell.
"Ahhh! Shego!"
Kim's followed from behind Shego, causing the thief to spin around, her tone an equal mix of surprise and happiness at the sight of the thief.
"Shego! What are you doing her?"
Shego grimaced slightly. She had been hoping to avoid just this situation but it seemed fate was a bitch with a sense of humor. She did her best to maintain her practiced snide tone as she spoke.
"Doy Kimmie, what the hell does it look like?"
"Shego you have to stop."
"No Princess, what I have to do is get the fuck out of here, so get out of my way or I'll move you myself."
Shego dashed toward Kim, the sack of loot slamming against her back as she ran. She lit her free hand and swiped toward Kim as she came into range, but the teen hero reacted almost as if on some deep instinct and dropped low and swept her foot in a wide arc. Shego countered with a quick leap forward, but it did little to close the distance between her and her exit point.
Shego caught sight of Ron as he came up behind Kim and began trying to pull her away from the standoff, but Kim wouldn't be moved.
"Shego please. I don't want to fight you. Come back to Global Justice with me, I'm sure I can convince Betty to let you come work with us."
Shego hung her head and let her loot sack hang at her side, her voice suddenly taking on a tired tone.
"Your not going to give up are you? I'm doing this for you and you don't even want it. Fine, take me in."
Kim's eyes lit up in joy as she began walking toward Shego.
"Shego that's great. I know we'll make a great team…"
Kim was cut off as Shego swung her fist directly into the side of the redhead's face, knocking her backwards onto her back. Shego looked down at Kim with cold and serious eyes.
"Your too trusting Princess. If you think I'm going to let anything stop me, even you, then stand up and prepare see just how serious I am."
Shego waited and when Kim made no move off of the floor, she turned and broke into a hard run toward the window. As she slipped out into the night she heard the sounds of the doofus making a fail attempt to console Kim as the teen hero cried softly.
:The next day:
Shego paced and growled as Electronique worked feverishly. Her run in with Kimmie had given her a renewed sense of urgency and it was that same sense of urgency that was now making her short on patience.
"How long?"
Sparks of electricity still danced around Electronique's body, remnants of the morning's "shower", as she replied with a timid and exhausted voice.
"It's almost done. I just need a few minutes to charge the power cells and align the focusing lenses."
Shego stomped to the living room and flopped down in a chair, trying to feign interest in a magazine while she waited, but 10 tips for a better beach body wasn't holding her interest today. Finally, after a seemingly agonizing period of time, Electronique called out that she was done. Shego immediately stomped over and grabbed the helmet out of Electronique's hands. She gave the device a cursory glance as she spoke.
"Your sure it works exactly like the last one?"
"Yes, just point and hit the button."
Shego grinned and aimed the helmet at Electronique.
"Good."
Electronique shrank back in fear.
"What are you doing? You said you'd set me free when I was done."
"I am."
Shego pressed the button and a red beam shot out of the helmet and enveloped Electronique.
Her mind began to burn as the red beam washed over it her. Her body continued writhe and contorted even as the red glow began to fade, but finally the screaming and movement stopped and an angry face looked up.
"Shego.…"
Electronique's arms began to crackle with power as she prepared to turn the former hero before her into a charred lump. Shego, however, flipped backwards and raised a palm for her to stop.
"Whoa there sparky. You really want to fry the person who freed you from your own device?
Electronique's reply bore as much anger as her gaze.
"You dared torture me with water."
"Hey, it got you to build me a reverse polarizer didn't it? And besides, shouldn't you be more concerned with going after the person who used it on you in the first place?"
Electronique's arms quieted. The villainess seemed to consider the words.
"Your right. Kim Possible's sidekick turned me into that goody goody freak, he must pay for that."
"Yah, one problem there light bright. He's under Global Justice protection."
Electronique sneered
"Bah, Global Justice. They thought they could use me like some sort of tool and then throw me back into prison? I'll make them pay as well. No one can stop the fury of Electronique."
Electronique laughed evilly to herself as she stormed out the nearest exit, seemingly having completely forgotten about Shego. Shego watched as Electronique walked out, amazed at how simple it had been to distract her. For being such a bright mind she sure could be dim Shego thought. She looked down at the device in her hands and grinned darkly. She had what she needed to bring Kim back to her senses, now all she needed was a plan.
:Some time later:
Shego bit her lip in frustration and increased the flame on her hand so her view was clearer. She had been following Kim for a days now, trying to get a large enough window where in she could reverse the damage that Global Justice had done, but it was proving more difficult then she had expected. Her run in with Kimmie at the electronics store had evidently put Global Justice on a high alert and it seemed they were doing everything they could to make sure another run in wasn't going to happen. The range she need to be within to ensure a direct hit of Kimmie was currently being occupied by a surprisingly large number of GJ soldiers. While it would normally have only taken a short time to remove them, she knew she could not risk a confrontation so long as she was carrying the reverse polarizer, but nor could she just leave it alone while she fought. Even Kim's house, which had seemed like her best shot, was being guarded and the tree she had previously used had been removed. She was so close and yet so far, it was maddening. As she extinguished her hand and allowed the shadows of the night to cover her she stared at the Kim's distant window, determined.
:Sometime the next morning:
Ron drove slowly through the streets of the city as he made his way to the hospital, a worried look on his face as he tried to think of what he would say when he arrived. They had gotten the call earlier that morning that Bonnie had woke up, though she was still weak and worn from her previous ordeal. Ron knew he had to tell Bonnie what had happened...with him...with Kim...with everything while she had been asleep, but he couldn't begin to think of what he would say. Kim looked over at him and smiled happily. She was so...well happy that Bonnie had woken up. She could apologies to Bonnie and then she and Ron could live happily every after. If I'm lucky maybe I'll even get to be a bridesmaid at the wedding she thought happily.
As Ron drove into the hospital parking lot and parked, he failed the notice the shadow of a jet that had been following from a great height land silently on the roof of the hospital, it's sole occupant quickly and quietly slipping into a near bye vent as Ron and Kim walked through the main doors. He put on his best smile as they the door to Bonnie's room, hoping that he would be able to explain things without to much yelling from Bonnie. He turned to face Kim.
"Kim, could you uhh...wait out here for a few minutes?"
Kim just smiled pleasantly
"Sure Ron. I know you must want to get some alone time with Bonnie first."
"Uhh ya, alone time, heh heh."
Ron opened the door and walked in. Bonnie lay in her bed, her hair unkempt and wild, breathing softly. Though she had obviously been sleeping, her eyes shot open instantly when Ron walked in, an angry look on her face.
"I told you I'm not to be disturbed while…"
Bonnie paused as her eyes focused on who had just entered her room. Her face changed to a look of equal parts happiness and horror as she noticed Ron's casts.
"Ron! What happened to your arm and leg? What happened to Kim? Did you get her? Did…"
Bonnie's questions barreled out, but Ron just stood smiling, happy she was alive and awake. He had feared the worst, that she would never wake up, but it seemed as if some higher power had for once been on his side. He set his face as he prepared to speak, knowing he had to stop Bonnie's endless questions before things got to out of hand.
"Bonnie...I need to tell you what happened...you see…"
Kim sat on a bench outside of the room singing happily to herself, smiling occasionally at the oddly buff series of men that filled the rest of the hallway yet seemed to be trying to avoid her gaze, when the loudest bellow she had ever heard rang out from behind the closed doors.
"SHE DID WHAT?"
Kim laughed softly, happy to hear that Bonnie sounded as normal and grumpy as she always had. She couldn't hear the other side of the conversation, but Bonnie's side continued to ring out.
"WHAT THE HELL KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT? RON STOPPABLE YOU'D BETTER EXPLAIN YOURSELF THIS INSTANT."
Moments later the door to Bonnie's room opened and Ron came backing out of it, Bonnie's screams following.
"GET OUT! GET THE HELL OUT! YOU EXPECT ME TO EVEN LOOK AT YOU AFTER TELLING ME THAT?"
Ron stared sadly at the door as he pulled it closed. It hadn't gone well at all. He had known Bonnie wouldn't like what had happened with Kim, but he had hoped that she'd have at least let him finish explaining before she started to yell. He took a deep breathe. Maybe if he gave her some time she would calm down and he could try again, maybe if he brought flowers next time, maybe... Ron turned and looked at Kim.
"Umm Kim, we should go. Bonnie...Bonnie still isn't feeling well. We are going to come back tomorrow."
Kim smiled and nodded.
"Ok. Oh I know, maybe I can get my mom to make her some of her special soup, it always made me feel better."
Ron just nodded and began walking back to the car, his mind desperately planning a way to avoid a repeat of today then next time he saw Bonnie.
Bonnie lay fuming in her bed, her anger at what Ron had told her growing with each passing moment. What the hell was wrong with Betty Director? How the fuck could she think Kim was worth saving. She had fucking thrown Bonnie off a building, been about to actually kill Ron and then suddenly just because of some stupid device everything suddenly was Ok, all forgiven? No fucking way Bonnie thought. Had she been less preoccupied with her own growing anger she may have noticed a vent in her room fall open and a slightly dirty figure drop onto the cold tile floor. Shego look amusedly over at the bedded cheerleader.
"Your alive...you must have one hell of a good luck charm."
Shego rubbed her ears
"You sure have one hell of a voice. Damn, I bet the entire hospital heard you."
Bonnie looked over, shocked at the sudden voice in her room. She quickly composed herself when she saw it's owner, a small sneer of disgust crossing her lips as she spoke.
"Your that Shego freak, the one who made Kim even more of a freak loser."
Shego glared.
"I didn't MAKE Kim anything, I helped her realize what she had always been."
She paused and smirked
"Better then you'll ever be."
Bonnie's face flashed with anger at the statement.
"Kim is not fucking better then me. She's a freak who got lucky just as I was going to kick her ass."
Shego just continued smirking.
"Face it. Kim won. She dropped your ass off a building, almost killed your boyfriend and you can't lay a finger on her for it."
Shego laughed at her own words. Bonnie's face twitched in rage but she smirked right back.
"You think I lost? Your the one who lost her precious little pet."
Shego just shrugged.
"Partners come and go, it's part of the lifestyle. So is getting to gloat at the losers. Your lying in a hospital bed and she's walking around free as a bird. Heck, she might even steal Ron back from you, it's not like you can do anything about it. All you can do is lay there."
Shego began laughing loudly at Bonnie whose face grew dark with rage.
"Your going to regret those words when I get out of this damn room. I'll show you just what the fuck I can do and you'll see just how much better then Kim I am."
Shego turned and began pulling herself back into the air vent.
"Big words from someone modeling a hospital gown.
As she pulled herself fully into the vent she twisted around turned to face Bonnie one last time
"Oh, and nice bed head."
Shego pulled the vent closed and began slinking back through the vent system, but instead of heading the way she had come she turned and muttered softly to herself.
"Now which was is the fucking gift shop."
Bonnie just screamed in silent rage as she beat her pillow.
:A Short Time Later:
Bonnie had just been dreaming of breaking each of Kim's bones, from the neck down, when she was awakened by a knock at her room door. Annoyed at having been woken up from a pleasant dream she bellowed loudly.
"WHAT IS IT?"
A meek looking man opened the door.
"Umm Miss Rockwaller? I've got a gift here for you. it was just delivered to the nurses desk."
Bonnie sighed. If she had to be woken up at least it was by someone looking to give her something.
"Fine hand it over."
The man handed her the wrapped box and left. She looked down at the package, slightly confused as to who would have sent it yet not left a card attached. She tore open the wrapping easily, revealing only a plan white box stamped with the hospital gift shop's logo. She grumbled at the logo, knowing that it meant something cheap and tacky was waiting in the box but she just sighed again and opened the box. She was slightly confused when she looked in the box. A strange looking helmet sat in the box, with a plain white card resting just on top of it. Bonnie picked up the card and read it, noting the lack of any signature.
"Now you have a choice. Accept it or do something about it."
:The next night:
Kim sat in her room happily talking on her communicator when her Anne Possible walked in carrying a package.
"Kimmie, another package has arrived for you."
Anne set the package on Kim's bed just as Kim set down her communicator and grinned at her mom. She had been receiving packages ever since her return, mostly from well wishers and past individuals she had helped on missions, and each one made her so glad she had such nice people in her life. Anne smiled warmly down at her daughter. She had been missing for so long that Anne had begun to worry that they would never see her again, but thanks to the actions of Global Justice she was back safe and sound. What amazed Anne the most, however, was the fact that Kim seemed so...happy after everything she must have been through. At first Anne had worried that it was a sign of some sort of prolonged shock state, no one was that happy all the time, but as the days went by and Kim went about her life, Anne could tell her daughter really was happy. She had decided to just chalk her concerns up to lingering worries and just enjoy this miracle.
"Dinner will be ready soon Kimmie, can you make sure your brother's are clean and ready? I don't want a repeat of last night."
Kim laughed at the memory of her brothers, covered in grease, trying to hold onto their respective chicken legs and nodded.
"Ok mom, no problem."
Anne smiled once more and walked down the stairs leading out of the room content in the happiness that this second chance brought. Alone again, Kim reached for the package and admired it's wrapping, a black and green checkered pattern. She carefully opened one end of the wrapping, not wanting to rip the beautiful paper, and slipped it off the box. She set it aside and examined the box. It was a plain and white, but bore a small logo that Kim didn't recognize. She pulled off the lid and smiled giddily at it's contents. Inside the box was a small teddy bear dressed in black and white stripes and a mask, clutching a single green glove and a small card. Kim picked up the card and read it.
"Princess, Couldn't come in person, working on your jailbreak, till then keep this and know I'm watching.
P.S. For fucks sake don't let anyone see this stuff and don't mention I sent you anything, I've got a reputation."
Kim smiled and nodded at the card, placing it back in the box which she placed deep under her bed. After that night in the electronics store she had been worried that Shego hated her, but now she couldn't have been happier to see that Shego cared so much about her. It was a sign that maybe she had gotten to Shego, that maybe they didn't have to be enemies. She took the glove and placed it under her pillow, hoping that it would provide pleasant dreams.
Bonnie's dreams were far from pleasant as she tossed and turned, images of her falling as Kim smiled darkly down at her played again and again in her mind. She awoke with a start and groaned in frustration. Every time she closed her eyes she saw Kim. Kim sneering at her, laughing at her, taunting her that she was coming for Ron this time and there was nothing Bonnie could do about it. She slid out of bed and walked stiffly to the window, scowling out into the night. Kim was out there, laughing and smiling and living her hero life all because of some stupid device that supposedly made her all better. Bonnie didn't believe it for a second, Kim was evil to the core, Bonnie knew she was just bidding her time until she could strike again. Bonnie turned and walked to the stand next to her bed and picked up the box that sat under it. She didn't know what the hell that thing in the box actually was, but if the card that had come with it meant what she thought it did, she had an idea of what it just might be.
Just wait K Bonnie thought I'm going to prove to everyone you haven't fucking changed.
:A few days later:
Ron smiled as he knocked on Bonnie's door, sure that a few nights rest had softened the news he had given her. He opened the door slowly and walked in, surprised to see that Bonnie wasn't in her bed, instead she stood stretching and bending in front of it.
"Bonnie, what are you doing out of bed? You need rest."
Bonnie glared at Ron in response.
"You think I'm going to lie around in some stupid hospital bed while she's out there? "
Ron sighed. It seemed she wasn't in any better a mood today.
"Bonnie Kim's not like she was, I told you. Betty…"
Bonnie cut him off.
"I want to see it."
Ron looked perplexed
"See what?"
Bonnie's frustration was evident.
"That machine you said made her like she was. I'm not fucking believing anything until I see it."
Her answer didn't make Ron any less perplexed.
"You want to see it? Why? How will that…"
Bonnie cut him off again.
"You heard me Stoppable."
Ron flinched. She only called him Stoppable when she was really really angry.
"Umm ok I guess. Betty said they kept it in a room at the base. I guess we could go and…"
"Lets go."
Bonnie walked to her bedside and picked up a large bag then stormed out past him. The nurse, who had been about to enter the room herself, turned her head in puzzlement as Bonnie stormed passed her. She turned back and faced Ron.
"I guess Miss Rockwaller is checking herself out then?"
"Ummm yah, I guess so."
The nurse smiled, relieved.
"To tell you the truth I'm glad. She's been more demanding then any patient I've ever had."
Ron just nodded understandingly.
:Hours later at Global Justice:
Ron and Bonnie stood behind Betty Director as she pressed the button on her remote device and the thick door before them slid open. The room beyond the door was empty save for a single pedestal on which rested a thick glass case, inside of which sat the Reverse Polarizer.
Betty turned to face Bonnie.
"Satisfied Miss Rockwaller?"
Though Bonnie's face remained impassive, inwardly she was smiling. She had been right, the item in the glass case looked just as she hoped it would. She waved dismissively at the case.
"Fine. But if you expect me to play nice with her just because you used that thing to make her Suzie Sunshine your a fool. I will never forget what she did to me and what she was going to do to Ron."
Betty stared at Bonnie with her single eye.
"Frankly I don't care if you hate her until the day you die, So long as you work for Global Justice you will treat her as you would any other team member. Is that understood Miss Rockwaller?"
Bonnie clenched her hands and replied in a hard tone.
"Fine."
Betty pressed the button on her remote once more and the thick door slammed shut with a hiss, the sounds of locks re-locking filling the hall momentarily as the three turned and walked back down the hallway. As the group entered back into the main hallway of the base a large squeal rang out and Kim ran forward smiling widely.
"Bonnie your awake. I'm so happy. Did you get the flowers I sent you? I'm so sorry about what I did, I hope you can forgive me someday…"
Bonnie gritted her teeth as Kim just kept babbling at her. She wanted nothing more then to punch that sickening grin off her face, but she knew it would have to wait. She spoke slowly, trying to sound as calm as possible
"K.…"
"You look so good, you must have gotten lots of rest…"
Bonnie turned and began to walk off, unable to stand anymore. Kim looked confused for a moment then smiled.
"Umm ok. We can talk later."
Ron looked at Bonnie as she walked off then turned to Kim.
"Bonnie just needs some time Kim. She...she's still adjusting."
Kim nodded.
:Bonnie's GJ Room:
Bonnie breathed deeply, trying to calm herself. She opened the bag she had set on her desk and pulled out the white box inside. She had planned on waiting until she was sure she was back at her full strength but it had only taken one second in Kim's presence to make Bonnie decide that waiting was out of the question. She doesn't fool me with that act Bonnie thought as she laid out her plan in her head, I just need the right place. She knew the base was out of the question, too many cameras, but no other suitable location came to mind. It was only as she considered just how her life and led to this point that Bonnie smiled as an idea came to her. She placed the box back in her bag and carried it out the door, heading towards the east exit of the base. She smiled to herself as she walked, confident that by the evening Kim would learn just how big a mistake she had made when she had crossed Bonnie and left her alive.
:That Evening:
Shego checked the radar device as she landed her jet on the roof. It was somewhere in the building below her. She climbed out of her jet and looked around, speaking to no one in particular.
"This better not be a fucking waste of time."
It had been days since she had sent the bugged helmet to that cheerleader and so far things hadn't been going at all as planned. When Shego had realized that she wouldn't be able to get close enough to Kim to use the reverse polarizer she had been despondent. Fate though had seemed to smile on her as a new idea had come to her when she had recognized the cheerleader's voice in the hospital. She couldn't get close to Kim, but the cheerleader could and so Shego had risked everything on a belief that if she could get the cheerleader mad enough, remind her of how untouchable Kim was as a hero, she would foolishly use the helmet to get her revenge, yet the cheerleader had done nothing so far but sit in that hospital for days.
When the helmet had finally moved this morning Shego had thought things were looking up, but her optimism was immediately replaced with dread when saw it was headed directly to the Global Justice base. She had been sure that the cheerleader had given Betty Director the second helmet and ruined any chance Shego would ever have of rescuing Kim, but this new movement proved that idea false. Shego quietly opened one of the roof windows and peered down onto the wooden floor, uncertain of what the cheerleaders intent was but glad she was going to have a ring side seat for the action.
Kim pushed open the gym door and looked around curiously. She didn't know why Bonnie had called her here this late at night but she had been happy to get any chance to spend time with Bonnie.
Bonnie, who had been waiting eagerly for Kim's arrival simply smirked as Kim walked in and folded her arms over her cheerleader top.
"Glad you came K."
Kim turned and smiled at Bonnie voice.
"Bonnie. Wow, why are you wearing your cheerleading outfit?"
"To remind you of what we used to be. You remember don't you K? I used to be head cheerleader until you stole it from me."
Kim's eyes went soft.
"I'm sorry Bonnie, I never meant to steal it from you."
Bonnie ignored Kim's words.
"Oh but you did much more then just steal it from me didn't you? You rubbed it in my face. You told everyone you were so much better then me, that you worked so much harder then I did. Hell, you even got that magazine cover offer and why? All because you're Kim Possible the great teen hero and head cheerleader. You're the one everyone looks up to, the one who could do no wrong."
Bonnie's face went dark.
"Do you know what else I remember about this uniform? That you tortured me in it. You knocked me out, strapped me to a chair and electrocuted me."
Kim looked down, ashamed
"I…"
Bonnie continued, talking over Kim.
"You were even going to kill me until Global Justice showed up and stopped you. Oh but wait, six months later you tried again. You threw me off a building and smiled as I fell. Then when you were sure I was gone you went after Ron. The first time you fought him you beat him bloody, but this time you were going to kill him. You stood over him with your foot on his throat ready to strike.
Bonnie began walking towards Kim, a dark intent in her eyes.
"But now everyone says your better, that your good again, but I know the truth. Your not good, your not a hero, your scum just waiting for it's chance to act."
Bonnie slammed her left arm forward, directly into Kim's chest causing Kim fall onto her knees and gasp for breath.
"You think I'd let you get away with what you did? You think some stupid ray from some stupid device gets to make everything you did ok? You think I'd ever forgive you for what you did to me? TO RON?
Bonnie slammed her leg into Kim's crouched form, causing Kim to fall over in pain.
"It's not ok. It's not forgiven."
Bonnie began slamming kicks into Kim as hard as she could, losing herself in the fight.
"Tell me your better then me now Kim. Look me in the eyes and tell me after everything you've done, that your still a hero."
Bonnie reached down and lifted Kim up, sneering at her.
"What's wrong Kim, can't fight back?"
Bonnie slammed her head forward into Kim's, causing Kim to grab her face in pain and fall back down.
"Did that hurt? Oh wait, I know the answer to that question because you did that to me."
Kim just lay crying on the floor, the pain of Bonnie's attack tearing through her body. Bonnie walked over and stood on Kim's legs, the weight of her body crushing them against the floor.
"You think that hurts? Try slamming into the ground and feeling your bones break."
Bonnie looked down at Kim, whose tears were spilling out and mixing with her now seeping blood, and just laughed.
She turned and walked to the bleachers, pulling a familiar helmet from her bag.
"I'm going to pay you back tonight for everything you did to me and everything you did to Ron. I'm going to show you exactly how every punch you threw felt, how much every kick hurt."
Bonnie walked back over and stood on Kim's legs again, causing Kim to scream in silent pain. She stared hard into Kim's eyes.
"And I'm going to make sure your just the way you were while I do it. You don't get to hide from tonight, not even in your own head."
Bonnie aimed the helmet down at Kim and fired.
