A\N: Sorry for the delay but as promise here it is one of the three chapter of this week. Enjoy.

Chapter 11: Thought I knew you

"Hello Kimberly" there in front of me is the head of Global Justice: Betty Director.

I look at her. Why is she here? She couldn't have chosen the worst timing ever to come here.

"Di… Doc…" I have to find a way to warn Shego "Dr. Director. What a surprise" my only option is stalling. "What can I do for you?"

"I think you know exactly what I want" she says flatly.

"Is there a problem Pumkim?" Shit. Shego couldn't have chosen a better time to talk.

Dr. Director looks into the house in search of the origin of the voice. I try to close the door behind me but she brushes me off and break in my house.

"Hey this is not legal" I complain following her along.

"Why are you taking too… long" Shego is now standing in front of us in the den.

The following silence is deafening. They are looking blankly at each other, studying each other. I bet Betty is waiting for an opening to call her guys and take Shego to jail.

I think we've taken too long because all the family is now watching us wearing the same expression in their faces: anxiety. All but Amadis who looks confused. She shoots me a questioning look and I only can answer with a worried look which worries her.

"Look. Dr. Director I can…" If looks could kill I would have died before finishing that sentence the moment she glared at me.

Dr. Director glares at Shego for a few more seconds then she walks to her and before anyone can do anything she slaps the plama-wielding woman hard and soundly; just by hearing it hurt.

I stay petrified not just because the weirdness of the slap but because Shego didn't do anything to dodge it like I know she could have.

I see the twins even my parents are ready to protest against it, I myself am about to kick Director's butt. No one touch my loved ones!. It doesn't matter who.

But all protest die by Betty's next actions: She hugs Shego. And most amazingly, after a few seconds Shego hugs back and for some reason I don't like the action.

"Why are you pouting? That isn't normal, is it?" I hear Amadis asking next to me.

"Do you have any idea how worried I've been?" Betty says. "When R&D came with those thirty men in coma I almost fainted fearing they would have caught you"

"Hey I am ok. That's is what matter" Shego says.

"It is her?" Betty says when she notices Amadis. Shego nods and the GJ agent come closer to Amadis. I step protectively between her and the little girl earning a smile from all the people in the house.

"She won't do anything Kimmie" Shego says. I hesitantly step aside but close enough to do something… just in case.

"Hi, my name is Betty" She says smiling. Hey! I don't think I have ever seen her smiling like that. When Amadis come to hide behind me Betty smirks at Shego.

"No" Shego tries to stop Betty.

"But you can call me aunty" The one eyed woman says the smirk never leaving her face and earning a grunt from Shego and then silence again but this time we all have an deadpanned look on our faces.

"I know I speak for all of us when I ask what the hell is happening here?" Not being able to bare the silence any longer I ask loudly.

"Hey, language" I hear Amadis and mom scolding me.

Suddenly it seems that Shego and Dr. Director realized they aren't alone and they blush lightly at least more lightly than me I can assure you that.

A few minutes later I come back to the living room with some coffee and juice for all of us.

My father is sitting on the armchair; mom is one of its arm rests; the twins are like always on the floor and Shego, Amadis and Betty are sitting on the sofa; Shego between them.

"So what was all that about?" I finally ask sitting in the arm rest next to Amadis. It seems like that calms the little girl around the GJ leader.

"Sorry to startle you" Betty says "But I couldn't risk Shego and Ami getting caught by walking around saying I was worried about them" I think that explain the hard face she has when I opened the door "But I think the clothe would have told I wasn't here for business" she says making a move with her hand to show us her clothing. In fact she isn't wearing the uniform I've always seen her wearing. She is using thigh blue jeans and a white blouse.

"Were you worried?" I ask skeptically "If I remember well you wanted her in jail" I accuse her.

"So did you Pumpkim" Shego states sarcastically.

"So not helping Shego" I glare at her. "And it was different then" Then turn my attention back to Betty. "How is that you know about Shego and Amadis; why did you tell Ami to call you aunty… Are you sisters?"

"Oh no" Betty says slowly "It is only that it was easier saying that than explaining the true nature of" she places a hand on Shego thigh and smirk "our relationship to her" I can feel a light twitch in my right eye.

"Hey there are kids here" I say putting my hands over Amadis's ears.

"Like hell we had a relationship" Shego take advantage to swear now that Amadis can't hear her. She is blushing a bit too. "This harpy is just…"

"Don't be like that honey" Dr. Director say in a sweet tone taking Shego's hand making the thief (or ex-thief?) blush even more.

Now I think I am developing a twitch in my right eye. Then I notice that Shego is feeling very uncomfortable and Betty seem like she is holding her breath.

I smirk "Feel good being the one teased?" I ask Shego.

"Shut up!"

Betty starts laughing."You still are too easy" She says between laughs.

We all chuckle at Shego. We've never seen her so worked up before.

"So…"Ok now ask the question that for some reason bother you the most."You aren't a couple, are you?" I ask then.

Shego give a long sight before speaking "No, we aren't" she pauses a moment to think how to answer.

"We were friend when she was being keep like a lab rat" Betty says after waiting for Shego to talk with no avail spitting the last part.

Shego told me she didn't have friends back there only…

"Yes Kim, she was my body guard and the one who helped me to escape" Shego says I think she saw my thoughtful face. "But she has come a long way since then"

"I took me some years to get where I am now"

We all look at the woman beside her. She looks so relaxed about what is being talked about here. "Ok, who are you and what have you done with the real Betty Director" I have never guessed that and the way Betty is acting with Shego so friendly so… flirting. It is not like the Dr. Director I've known. But that would explain a few things like why Shego is never taken to GJ for interrogating of GJ never being involved with her in any form.

"Relax Kim" Betty says "Right now I am not working so" then her hard bitch face is a job thing. Why did I call her bich?

"Kimmie believe me, it's better this than how she was before meeting me" now Shego is smirking and Betty blushing slightly.

And that pick up my curiosity. "How so?"

"I'll only say she would have annoy ruler boy with her rightfulness"

Ruler boy?... Oh Will Du. How did she know Will? Wait… "You can't be serious!" I know how annoying Will can be. Shego only smirk more.

"It is a shame to admit but She is right Kim" Betty says "That time I thought rules were… absolute and it wasn't until I were willing to help Shego escape that I learned that it was pure bull…" Amadis shoot her a warning glare "…lies"

"I thought you realized each time I got under your skin making you want to kill me" Shego seem proud of that fact.

"Yeah that too" Betty says plainly "And that is what brought me here" she looks very serious right now "I received a call telling me Shego was here" impossible. Nobody else knew and Shego has been very cautious. "It was a luck it came directly to me but all calls are recorded and since he knows we were friends he is bound to know sooner or later… so I come to warn you"

"Who called you?" I ask somberly.

SKP

This is crazy. Mom is friends with the head of an international law agency! Now I understand why she hasn't been caught.

"So it is true" I hear Kim ask the twins.

"Yes" Jim says meekly "We discovered it by accident but when we did we just have to be certain and…"

"Don't worry" Kim reassure them "It's a good thing you did" she then comes to me "Go with my parents and take Dr. Director to her house"

"Kim, you are sure about this?" I hear my mom. Kim nods and mom sighs "Remember being patient or you could fuck it up for you" I don't scold her this time. I know that what they are talking is serious.

"I'll try not too"

We all get out leaving Kim alone.

SKP

"Hey KP, what's so important to call me so suddenly?" Ron het in the kitchen and try to hug me but I stop him with a hand "What is wrong?" now he look worried.

"Ron how long have we been friends?" I ask him dully "How long have we been a couple?"

"Those are trick questions?" He says nervously.

"Have you ever thought I was cheating on you?" I raise my voice only a bit.

"N… never" he splutters.

"Then how do you explain this?" I take my Kimmunicator out my pocket and quickly put a video the twins get for me. In it I was going shopping, for a walk or only trying to relax without worrying about the world; moments when I wanted to be alone and I told him and Wade I need it to escape from the stress. And in all it always appeared a person following me and I didn't notice: Ron.

"How did…"

"It doesn't matter how I got this" I said taking a breath to calm myself "I only want to know your reason to follow me… to lie to me"I put my Kimmunicator on the table.

"I… I…" I give him an impatient look "Kim you know me" he say weekly "Since the beginning of our relationship I've never had self-confidence I always feared you would left me"

"And you wanted to make sure I wasn't cheating on you, that's it?" I ask him angry. He just nods wanly "Ron this isn't about lack of self-confidence" He looks questioningly at me. "This" I point my Kimmunicator which is still running the footage. "Is lack of trust… in me"

"No" He says. "I trust you with my life"

"No Ron, you don't" he looks hurt by my words "If you would you wouldn't have had followed me and trust I would never ever have done anything like that to you. You are too precious to me to do that" he want to say something but I cut him off "And don't tell me that bullshit about self-confidence again" he seem surprised by the swearing "You come with me in missions since we were fourteen you have even fight monkeys , remember them, the ones you were so afraid of?"

"Since she got here you have been different Kim" He states out of the blue.

Of course I know who he is talking about "Shego doesn't have anything to do with all this" I yell.

"Of course she does. I hear her badmouthing me while you to spar" He looks a bit angry now. "It was the same last time. You ditched me to be with her"

"You were hearing?" I ask with incredulity, even Shego haven't noticed. I haven't realized how good he has became at sneaking.

"Yes…" he is hesitant. I think it slipped of his tongue "She was talking nonsense about taming you" He tries to defend himself.

"She didn't want us to split up hating each other" I yell at him.

"She was trying to make you break up with me, with our team that is why I call GJ on her!" He snaps.

I look at him. Hurt and disappointment in my eyes. "It really was you" I didn't want to believe it; I was hopping, praying it wasn't true but I think I was wrong. "You don't know what you almost did" I told him that Shego would be staying with me for a while I even told him about Shego's past, the parts Shego allowed me to tell him. And even so he called GJ? "Get out" I ask him forcefully. If this continue I am sure I will say things that both of us will regret.

"Kim… no" He says with tear in his eyes

"Please" even if my voice is strong I can feel tears pouring down my face. "I want to at least keep my best friend and if you don't get out now I am afraid I won't be able to" I pause a moment. I can see the regret in his eyes in his stance, I know he is sorry "I need time… we need time so please get out" he is still looking at me "NOW!" and he ran.

I fall to my knee crying. I really hope all turn out well at the end.

I take my Kimmunicator"Wade" I say as soon he answers my call.

"Yes?" He asks sadly.

"I want you to disconnect Ron communicator until I say otherwise"

"Already done" I look at him surprised. I always knew he was good but still "I saw it all. Cameras remember?" I look around instinctively "You made me put them to make sure your family is safe at all times" he looks away as if he were ashamed "I didn't mean to pry but…"

I shook my head "No… it's is better; this way I don't have to explain it to you" my eyes are becoming moist.

"Kim he didn't have the right to do what he did specially what he did to Shego" I look at him surprised. I think it is sure to say he is ok with that situation "… You did what was best. He'll understand and come around" He tries to cheer me up.

I only nod and hung up.

I really hope he is right.
