Chapter 17: Gaze

"I found you" I heard Shego's cold voice.

When I looked up at her she had a cold and hard gaze upon us. That wasn't the look I remembered.

I slowly pulled off her. "It is a… surprise; what are you doing here?" I asked hesitantly trying to stall. I felt something was off about her. I just needed time to find out what.

Her eyes drawn to Amadis. "I am here for her" again an emotionless voice. I looked at her scrutinizing her looks. Her green and black catsuit seemed scorched in some places and… Are those claws marks on her left arm? "I will take her to her father" a devious smile took residence on her face while she put her hand around Ami's arm. I saw her wince slightly at the force Shego put in her grip.

"Get your hands off her" I growled and force her to free my daughter. "Ami get out of here" I ordered her.

"Kimmy what is happening?" Ami asked me. I didn't know what to tell; I wasn't even sure what was happening.

The feel of Shego's claws cutting my arm's flesh stopped any response I could have told.

Kimmie, wake up!

Shego attacked me relentless. Why? My mind was riling with all possible explanations that I was barely defending myself.

Kimmie, Don't let it get to you. Wake!

How could I explain that to Amadis?

I am here. Please, wake up!

All become dark. I can only see that 'Shego' taking Amadis away. I try to get her but I can't move, I can't feel my body.

And then my eyes snap open.

SKP

Middletown November30th 2011, midnight

"Hello Lexi" I heard his voice from the screen. His tone was caring and wistful "We have to talk"

"You lost the right to call me that long time ago" I growled at him. "And the only thing we have to talk about is you backing off my and my daughter's life"

"You mean our daughter" He said stressing the word 'our'. I saw him flinch at the glare I sent to his direction. He sighed heavily "Come with me we can go back to how things were before" I looked at him like he have grown a second head "Do you remember how happy we were?" When I didn't say anything he continued"What do you say Lex… Shego?" He stopped himself to call me 'Lexi' "You, Amadis and me… a happy family" she gave me a warm look. I couldn't help but think in those happy months before all the shit that followed "How it should have been from the beginning"

Somewhere, sometime after November 31st2011

I look around me. The outside seems dark and even in the dim light I can identify I am in an hospital room; I have been in one too many times in the past, visiting mom at work or because some occasional serious injury.

"Thanks to God you are finally awake" I hear a soft voice. "Having nightmares?" I can hear the smirk in the voice.

When I turn around to see the owner of the voice I gasp.

Middletown November31th 2011, early morning (too early if you ask me)

I wanted to kick myself for being week and consider his offer even for a brief second.

"Fuck you" I told him. The image of a feisty red head and my daughter came to my mind. I grinned "I already have a family"

Then his face became stoic, he frowned and glared at me. "You don't leave me other choice then" he pushed a button and the unmistakable whoosh of an opening door broke the silence of the room I was "F8K, take care of…" He gave me disgusting look "… the garbage" When I saw who or what he was talking to I growled angrily at that 'F8K'.

Middletown Hospital December2nd 2011

I look at the woman sitting next to me on my hospital bed and my first instinct is getting as far away from her ASAP after what she did to me and I try but there isn't much you could do when you are in such a small bed and your body sore.

When I look at her again I can see she is hurt by my reaction. We lock eyes, her gaze is caring, worried and has that mischievous glint she has always had.

"Shego" I mumble wanly. I flush slightly and my tears start to run down. I throw myself at her despite the soaring pain in my muscles. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry,I'm sorry…" I babble burying my head on her shoulder. She just stays here putting her arms around me in a comforting hug making me fall asleep in her arms with a last thought on my mind.This do is my Shego.

Middletown Hospital December 2nd 2011

After the incident with Shego I was quickly brought here with Kim. The stupid doctors thought I have to stay overnight to be sure I was really OK after hitting the wall when there are matters a lot more important than a minor concussion.

And now I walk around the hospital halls at three in the morning looking for her room carefully avoiding the nurses in shift. It was hard sneaking out my room;I want answers and to get them I have to talk with Kim Possible.

Rom 302. This is it! I finally get to her room. I open slowly the door and when I am fully in the room I turn to look at her but instead I see a woman sitting next to her holding Kim's hand. My brain takes only a second to identify her. Before I could scream she has her hand over my mouth silencing me and I do the logic thing to do. I panic.

An instant later I see Kim fidgeting in her sleep to suddenly wake up. She looks at her hand wistfully like she is missing something there. Was that the hand Shego was holding? I don't have time to ponder about it when a smirk crosses my mouth even if I have it covered by the thief's hand.

Now Kim is awake she will surely scream or do something to capture Shego then she'll make the kidnapper talk and we'll get Ami back safely with us… not that it matters to me.

My expectations are blown up when instead of a scream Kim looks away bashfully and angrily.

Shego sighs heavily. I then feel a finger on my forehead to loose conscience shortly after.

When I wake up I can feel a thick tension in the room among other things like I am currently tied up to a chair with what looks like IV hoses and a piece of cloth on my mouth doing as homemade gag.

Shego is leaned somewhat nonchalantly against a wall next to Kim while she is looking at anything but Shego.

"Kimmie" Shego says softly taking Kim's face in her hand trying to make said girl look at her. She sounded almost caring. How can she? She was the one who put Kim in that hospital bed after all.

Kim brushes the hand away angrily and refuses to look at the thief. After a few seconds she says "Why?" I can feel anger and something else in her voice. How could she not feel angry? That woman took her daughter away.

"Why what?" Shego says confused. I growl at her. The nerve of that woman. She just arch an eyebrow at me. I bet she thinks I am afraid of her.

"Why aren't you mad at me… why aren't you screaming and blaming me?" Kim spit with anger keeping her voice low and looking at her lap. I didn't expect that. So she wasn't angry at Shego but at herself? Why?

"I don't have any reason to" Shego says calmly.

"Yes you have" Kim replies snapping her head up to look at the green woman. I see she has tear in her eyes but they don't hide the self-disgusted look on her face. "You trusted Amadis to me, I told you she would safer with me than with Betty… that I would take care of her and then I go and get tricked and now she is gone" she mutter-yell at the woman. "You have all the right to be mad at me" she murmurs. I am totally lost now.

"It wasn't your fault" Shego says sternly. Shego sighs and puts a hand on Kim's cheek and softer this time she says "It wasn't your fault" Kim struggles to get the other woman's hand off her with no avail. "If you want to blame someone then blame me but don't you dare take the blame yourself" Kim stops her struggles looking unsettled "I should've get here faster. I would have warned you about… her. And we would have avoided all this mess" she runs her other hand through her hair.

She tries to take her hand off Kim's cheek but the red head stops her. "Don't… It wasn't entirely your fault" Kim says more composed locking eyes with Shego.

I roll my eyes. I think those two forgotten all about me by now. "heet a hoom tou" I try to talk snapping them out of their little trance looking away quickly.

Shego walk to me "I take that off your mouth if you promise to be a good girl. Ok?" she says in sickly sweet voice like I was only a little girl. I roll my eyes again but nod nonetheless. "Care to repeat what you said?"

I glare at her but in the same sweet tone than her I say "I said" then I smirk at Kim "Get a room you two"

Kim blushes profusely. "Jen!" She scolds me. I think I understand why Shego calls her all those pet names. It is funny making her blush.

I could swear Shego has a light flush on her face. She chuckles "Hey Kimmie this girl has a big pair to say that to my face" she points at me smirking. Yep, she is Shego "When this is over can I keep her?"

This only makes Kim rolls her eyes. "You already have a daughter, you know?" that was mean to be a joke but it brings the seriousness of the situation back.

"It is that true?" I ask "You really are Ami's mom?"

"And who wants to know?" she asks warily.

"She is Ami's best friend" Kim says in a singsong voice.

I blush looking away. "I am not!" yeah that was a too mature answer. They both laugh at me and after a few minutes I demand an answer. "So?"

"Sew your pant" Shego quip.

"Lame" Kim says mockingly.

"Enough! Could you stop flirting and answer me?" again Kim blushes and Shego look briefly away. I was joking but I think I am onto something here.

Shego cough to dissipate the awkward atmosphere (at least for them) "Yes, I am"

I narrow my eyes and she arches an eyebrow at my sudden hostility "Then why did you kidnap her so crudely"

She looks at Kim and I do too. Kim wanted to ask it I can see it in her face.

Then Shego sighs and murmurs "F8K"

Middletown November 31st 2011 00.30 am.

"F8K, take care of… the garbage" When I saw who or what he was talking to I growled angrily at that 'F8K'.

I see green skin, a black and green catsuit and a smirk I know too well; mine.

"Shit" I yelled at the screen "Better tell me now you didn't do what I think you did" I pointed at the woman in front of me who was an exact copy of me. "Tell me she is Camille"

He smirks evilly at me. I think that is my answer. But he felt the need to explain further."As you remember I had total… access to you" He smirked suggestively "You didn't thought I wouldn't get some samples for my personal entertaining just in case, did you?"

"Nice to meet you" She said "Or should I say nice to meet me?" great she thinks she is funny. I roll my eyes.

"So you made a cheap copycat" I said ignoring my clone's bad joke.

"Cheap?" she repeated it with a mock-hurt look on her face. "I am an improved version" she said smugly.

I rolled my eyes. Hasn't she been listening to his proposal? If she was an 'improved version' he wouldn't have offered me going back to him. She clearly lacked something… I don't think he still… I shook my head dissipating those dumb thoughts. "He doesn't even want you" I said mockingly. "He only wanted a new guinea pig and occasionally sex doll"

She opened and closed her mouth repeatedly without saying a word "Shut up" she finally yelled blushing a scarlet red, her green complexion couldn't suppress such an amount of blood on her face.

Interesting. Than meant he already did it or… my smirk grew "He hasn't touched you yet, has he?" I taunted. She got even redder if that was possible. "And you want it" I laughed "You aren't missing much" I said dismissively. Thatmoment I could see him flinch uncomfortably on the screen.

She growled angrily and threw me a plasma blast. I dodged it effortlessly but couldn't avoid her tackling. She was going to stamp me on the wall. I slashed her left arm with my gloves' claws surprising her and making her let go of me.

I tried to sweep her off her feet but she stood her ground and kicked me, making me fall. She jumped at me I rolled over to avoid the blazing punch. Her hand went through the concrete floor without any problem.

When she was finally free she charged at me and punched and kicked relentlessly and rhythm-less too fast and too hard for a normal person to counter… then again I wasn't a normal person. But I was so caught in blocking that I didn't see the wire on the floor. I stumbled on it, I was able to remain on my feet but I couldn't block the blow with the knee she threw to my stomach or the following hook at my chin.

"This is all you got"She laughed at me while I struggled to get on my feet. I suddenly burst out laughing. "I see you've finally gone crazy" she smirked mockingly at me.

"Coming from you that is a compliment" After all she liked Joseph"but no" She arched a curious eyebrow "It is funny how he hasn't taught you how to fight properly. You don't have my experience in this biz and I bet he knows it… and missed it"

She frowned angrily. I thought I touched a nerve. "I am not the one who has been knocked down just now" She spat smugly.

I shook my head in condescendence. She hasn't fought as long as me, she didn't have any martial arts experience. She used only raw force, trusting only her comets powers. Against people who don't have an idea of the her powers reach she would surely be a winner… but not against me.

I caught my second air and got in my fighting stance turning on my plasma she did so too. She charged at me aiming a punch to my face that time I didn't block I moved so slightly to the other side dodging the attack. I smirked at her frustration. She tried a kick but I followed her momentum making her lose her balance. Before she fell I caught her by the slave sizzling it slightly with my plasma and helping her regain her balance. She looked a lot more frustrated by my little 'help'.

"Not so tough now eh?" I teased her.

That little game continued for a few minutes; me following the stream of her moves and burning her catsuit slightly every time I could have counter attackedbut other than that I never really fought back. I was showing her that I was playing with her. If that was Kimmie she wouldn't have let me play with her like that. Hell I couldn't even do this.

"Why do you do this?" I asked her. It was clear that she didn't have a chance.

"For him" She said breathily. "He promised" for a moment I could see her eyes sparkled with hope and expectation.

I brushed those thoughts away "As if he could really offer you something worth-while" I said gloomily. "Open your eyes he is only using you!"

"Shut up,Shut up,Shut up" she yelled. She grew angrier and frustrated. Then she give the perfect opening, she tried to uppercut me with all her strength, I back stepped, threw back my shoulders and my body slightly to hit her with both my plasma charged palms in all her solar plexus with enough force to brake it. If she was like me I knew that wouldn't break it but it would knock the air out of her and put her in a hell lot of pain.

I looked down at her she was barely containing her tears. I just destroyed her previous confidence with only a move.

"He promised… when Amadis is on our hands… we'll be a family" she says meekly.

That lying bastard. Hearing that I yelled "He wants to make experiment on her" I give her a compassionate look. "Worse than what he surely did to you"

She looked shocked at me. I thought he really did very cruel things to her. That solely thought made me sick. "No… he wouldn't dare" She tried to defend him.

I've always hated cloning but I couldn't bring myself to hate her. She knew what she was and even like that she was clinging to the only person who has showed some care for her, blinding herself to the truth. I could relate to that. I lived it… with the same person.

I don't know if someway she really liked him or if somehow he programed her to do so…

"Help me" I asked her before I could think about it.I thought… no I knew she hasn't had a chance to live by herself or take her own decisions to move from his claws. I thought I could give her that. I am taking Kim's bad habit of helping people. I have to kick that red head's ass later.

"Don't hear her" Joseph screamed. I knew he knew that what I was offering would be better than whatever he could really give.

She looked between him and me. She seemed to ponder about it for a moment "I can't" she said dejectedly "There would be nothing for me if I do it"

"There would be a lot more than you think" She looked at me expectably to hear what I was telling her. I could see her gaze full of hope. I extended my hand. "Freedom"

"I am free" she said without much confidence.

I snorted. "You are not" she glared me wanly.

"Don't…" I shout a ball of plasma to the screen silencing it.

"I bet nobody knows about you" I started pacing "You hasn't got out from wherever you live for no other reason than the missions he gives you" by the look on her face I knew that I was right. "You haven't had a life on your own" I extended my hand again "Come with me"

"Why are you doing this?"

I shrugged "Don't know" then I thought about it a bit. I smirked at her "Well… We have the same DNA so we technically are family" I grinned remembering my time with the Possibles I learned family not always have to do with blood "I stick for my family"

She smiled wanly and reached for my hand. But the moment she was taking it her face was filled with pain. She took her head in her hands shaking violently.

When she looked at me again her face was emotionless. She kicked me off to a wall knocking the wind out of me.

Taking advantage of it she tied me up with a few pipes. Then when she got to the exit door she pushed a red button;red lights begun to blink with the familiar siren noise. Great, self-destruction button. Why all evil lairs have one?!

Before she made her exit she turned to me. I could see a lonely tear roll down her expressionless face and I could read a silent and forced 'sorry' from her lips.

Middletown Hospital December 1st 2011

I wasn't lucky enough to get out in time from the exploding lab but I was lucky enough to get trapped between two columns protecting me and helping me avoid being splashed by debris. It took me an eternity getting out of there.

"Shego" Kim's voice gets me out of my memories. She and Jen were looking at me. "I asked what is F8K"

"A clone" is my only answer.
