Chapter 20:The Rescue begin

"Are you sure about this?" I ask Shego with doubt in my voice while we sneak around the security system of the underground facility.

"Yeah… I think" she answers hesitantly. "I mean, yeah I am sure" I roll my eyes. "It worked for you all the time after all"

"I didn't mean the air vents… I mean Ron"

An hour before

"You want me to do what?" Ron asked soundly after we arrived a few yards from the highly guarded warehouse.

"You heard me" Shego said annoyed "You and this little pest…"

"Hey" Jen protested.

"You are, if not you wouldn't have been able to sneak in our ride here" The thief said "You are going to sneak through the vent system, look for Amadis and get the hell out of there as soon as you find her"

"Shego I don't think that's a good idea" Mom said worriedly. "Ron isn't exactly stealthy material"

"And have you seen the amount of ammunition they have in?" I remembered we have seen every guard at the outside doors had at least two hand-machineguns and one is controlling a fully armed turret.

"Yeah" Ron said worrying himself at the thought. "I mean who have this kind of thing in the middle of the Boston" I thought it was ironical. All this adventure begun here and it seemed to end here.

"Getting out of topic" A frustrated Shego said "Look, this way we can prevent any of you" She pointed a finger to Jen and then to Ron"Of getting in a… messy situation while me and Kimmie sneak past the guard under their noses" She smirked at me. "Once we are in and we have an idea of where they are keeping Ami they will 'discover' us. That will be your signal to start your part of the plan. With a bit of luck we won't need your boys Betts" She said to Betty Director who grunted at the nickname.

Present time

And that we've done. It was easy sneak in. The guard a cameras had an established routine so it was only a matter of find the right time and get in avoiding guards and cameras so far.

"They will be ok" Shego says "Jen with keep him out of trouble" I can't help but smile at that. It looks like she think Ron will be the one to get them caught… well she is partially right. "… beside" she says while we wait for the camera to change its direction "I saw what the buffoon is capable when he under enough… pressure on TV" so she saw the news when the Lowardians tried to conquer us."Move"

SKP

"They are taking too long" I say impatiently to my 'partner' while I am pacing.

"Calm down girly girl" He says nonchalantly. "This is not as easy as they make it look like" I still can't believe he is the one who have to 'watch' my back… even if Shego said I will be the one slowing him down.

Now that I think about it. If she thought so, why did she let me come along instead of making me stay here in relatively safety "Why did she?" I ask out loud.

"They won't be expecting us" Ron says as if reading my thoughts. I give him a curious look "He knows Shego" he says somberly "So he knows she work alone and in the worst case he will expect her to bring Kim along"So he isn't as stupid as I firstly thought. Then he points at himself "He wouldn't expect her to team up with me… or you, Jen" He grins "He knows she didn't like nuisances" then he chuckles slightly. I take it back, he do is stupid. Then he narrowed her eyes slightly looking at me… or more precisely at my clothing.

An hour before

"Put this on" Shego told me handing me a belt.

"I think he will need it more than me" I said pointing at Ron making him blush.

"It is not a common belt, I made Wade recalibrate it" she said looking smugly at Ron for the corner of her eyes. Then I realized she was in her old trademark catsuit. "You will need it, believe me"

Present time

"I can't believe Wade made a batlesuit for her and not for me" Ron pouts.

I smirk at him knowing I am given an especial outfit. It was the same in black and dark green that Shego was wearing when we were at the hospital but smaller. I look down at my chest. It doesn't fit the outfit as much as Shego does. Yet I hope.

We hear a beeping sound from coming from my waist.

"And her own customized Kimmunicator" Rom mumbled taking the device from its place in my belt. "Yeah?" he asked coldly at the tubby boy. "What other cool tools you will have for Shego now"

"Ron there is no time for this" the Afro-American boy says in a very serious tone. "They are in problems. Kim activated the S.O.S. call in her batlesuit"

That was definitely bad news.

SKP

"Tell me again why are we in this situation" I growl at the red head with who I am back to back in a room full of black-and-blue-clad goons.

Kimmie blushes "I was distracted by a pair of… globes" I give her and incredulous look. I know she could have come with a better lie than that. Now Kim doesn't know how to lie.

Anyway;after I had to drag her to a janitor closet to avoid getting caught, clumsy red head tripped a silent alarm when she opened carelessly the door to the security room getting us trapped and quickly surrounded here.

I sigh closing my eyes for a second.

A sudden change in the air flown alerts me. The men charge at us with electric charged sticks.Do they want us alive? I easily dodge the first one and punch him in the gut making him bending in pain.

The next come from my right but before he could reach me he is kicked on the back of his head knocking him out. Kim is standing next to his unconscious body, smiling proudly at her handiwork. I run to her to block a stick coming her way.

"Don't be so confident" I scold her but her smile never leaving her face.

"With you here, why not?" her cocky grin gets bigger after she uses me as platform to launch herself to one man behind me.

I smirk with satisfaction.

SKP

"Sir" I hear a man entering the room we are. It is pretty big with a lot of computers and weird machines. One standing out from the rest, looking like a one of those from hospitals in which people get tomography done but this is fully closed looking like a cocoon. "We have intruders"

The man who keeps me as lab rat cocks an eyebrow curiously "Haven't you kill them already?"

"It is Shego" I think he doesn't expect mom coming here because he had a shocked expression on his face "so per your previous orders our men are using non-lethal force"

The man in wheelchair grunts. "They didn't get the memo?" he asked earning a head shake as a response.

"Told you she will come" I say in a singsong voice even if inside I am still nervous. "Don't worry I will make sure to get you a nice coffin… with extra space for you chair" I mock him. "Ouch" the woman with mom's face slapped me on the back of my head.

After a few seconds of pondering the handicapped man smirks and says "Call the teams, they have to stop her enough time for me to get there"

"But Sir it is too dangerous…"

"I said call the teams" he repeats himself with a more firm voice. He looks at my direction. "Hold on there for a bit more… when I come back we will finally start our… get together" then he looks at the woman beside me. "Get her to her holding cell"

When he is out of sight I turn to look at the woman beside me with pleading eyes "Help me" I mutter loud enough for her to hear me but not enough for other people to do so. I know the green skinned woman don't want to do any of this. If she would he wouldn't be controlling her with that device… but I only get a cold stare as response while she tugs me to my cell.

SKP

"That's it" Shego says disappointingly. "I am disappointed"

The men kept coming for half an hour but they all are lying on the floor now, most of them knocked out but I can hear a few grunts of pain.

The door opens and a business-suit-clad man in wheel chair gets it through it. He has tanned skin and short dirty blonde hair. She is wearing glasses and a devious smirk on his face.

I arch an eyebrow, are they sending an invalid man to stop us? Someone is having a serious lack of personal.

"Hello… Lexi" the man greet Shego ignoring me completely.

I see Shego is tensing up. Lexi? There are only a few people that know Shego's real name, I am proud to be one of the few in that group. But there are even less people that dare to call Shego 'Lexi'…

"Give Amy back" I yell furiously at him taking a few steps to him. How couldn't I recognize him? Shego gave me a description of the man who shattered her heart so many years ago. Suddenly, deep in the pit of my mind a new wave of anger want to get free.

Before I can get close enough to make some… nasty things to him, a green plasma blast bursts in front of me. I look behind with a confused look but Shego is wearing a shocked expression. If it wasn't her… then who…?

"Do you like this new… enhancement?" the man in front of us says smugly with a hand ignited with plasma, still ignoring me. "It… took a lot of… time…" when I get over the shock of seeing him using plasma I notice that he is breathing heavily. "Prodding and needling… and opening" he continue when he can control his breathing better with a somberly grin. "… you; better say the other you" he means he experimented on Shego's clone?. Suddenly I want to throw up.

I look at Shego, an expressionless face is the only think I can see… but her eyes are a completely story whatsoever I can clearly see she is burning in anger, barely containing it. Then a emerge play on her face; a fake one I notice.

"I see you has other new… enhancement" she comments sarcastically "Nice wheels by the way, you didn't have them the last time I saw you flying across a room…" The man touches his chest with one hand. It seems like an involuntary move "…realized you can't fly with a plasma-help?" he grimace, I suppose it is a bad memory.

I can't help but release a grim giggle at his obvious discomfort, earning what the man thought is a hard glare, but after seeing an… angry Shego no expression can frightening me anymore. "You still here?" he asks me disinterested. "I thought with that little demonstration you would have running away frightened"

I snort at him making him angrier "He is kidding right?" I make a show of asking Shego. She only nod amused "You kidding right?" I ask him. "Man, don't you know who I am?" I make the best impersonation of Ron. The man doesn't seem to know where I want to go. In an amused tone I say "I am Kim possible, I have been fighting cranky and sarcastic bitc-" I make an intentional slip. Shego gives me mock-hurt expression "-lady here in her worst days" then I give him an incredulous look. "Do you think I would be scared by a bit of plasma that left you exhausted?"

He shakes his head "I admit that I still have to make some… adjustments with my not-so-new power" then he smirks evilly "But that is why the little monster is here" I really hope he isn't talking about Ami because if he is he doesn't know what I could do to him. "You know, even if I have replicated your powers in my own body I haven't been able to figure out how your body is able to generate so much plasma and you still seem to conserve so much energy of your own… without taking in consideration the bust up your power had when you was pregnant" then he gives us a thoughtful look. "So I thought 'Why not bring my little experiment here, open her and hope the little girl will has the answers I seek'"

"That is it" I growl. Nobody talk bad about my girl. Before I can take another step Shego's hand on my shoulder stops me. When I look at her she nods toward the man… or more precisely behind him. I can slightly see a red light coming from there, then I look at our chests and on them there are little red dots. Snipers?

"Oh… well done" He sarcastically claps. "I was hoping to see her getting shoot" Shego's grip on my shoulder tighten. "You know what?" he says grinning amused like he just had the brightest idea ever "after I am finished with your little monster" She is your daughter too?. I want to scream at him but we are now in a very difficult situation. I have to think in a way out of this one- exit-only room. "I will open your little friend" he points at me "I mean there have to be something in her that allow her to do 'anything' like she boast she can, maybe her parents did something to…"

He doesn't finish his sentence, a plasma blast hit him straight in the right side of his face. He screams and I smell the burning flesh and see how a side of his glasses melts over his face. In a heartbeat Shego is in front of him. No! you isn't wearing a battle suit. Ifthey shot you…

Without a second thought I run and push her then I hear a shot and a lot of pain is triggered on my left shoulder.

"Kim" I hear Shego's worried scream. She runs to me. "Idiot" she crawl me on her lap. "Didn't I told you I heal faster than you" I didn't though about it. Yeah. I am really an idiot.

I see the man coming near us. I want to shout 'Watch out!' but the battlesuit painkillers hasn't knock in me yet so the most I can do is groan.

The new burnt in his face makes him look intimidating "I don't want to interrupt this touching moment between the two of you" he put a gloved hand on Shego's head, then a few sparks come out of it and Shego fall limply over me. "Who am I kidding?" he says angrily. "Of course I want" then he talk to his… watch? quickly four men appear with a sniper rifle each. "Take them to the special holding cell"

Damn painkillers. The pain is subsiding but I can't move. I feel too numb to stop them.

Now I am chained and numb in a cell with no door. Odd. But that is not the only weird fact in this.

To begin they haven't take my battlesuit. I think they thought it was like my super hero costume.

There is little TV on one corner.

And the most weird thing. Shego is hold by ankles and wrists to a big metal 'X'. They had almost completely stripped her. She is only wearing green panties and a black sport bra. I roll my eyes. Trust Shego to get her black and green obsession to this point. But even like that I can't contain the blush creeping on my face… and the rest of my body.

I look away from her awkwardly. I sigh. I can't help thinking that the fact we are in this situation is my fault.

We were running smoothly throughout the building, overconfident that nobody has noticed us so far and we were just a few meters from the security room.

When we were about to turn around a corner we hear a lot of voices coming from both sides, behind and in front of us. Shego quickly took my hand and got us into a janitor closet that was conveniently not so far from us.

The space was too small and it was crowded with the two of us. We were pressed against each other and damn difference of heights my face was pressed on Shego's cleavage.

When I tried to move Shego shushed me because the men were directly in front of the closet.

And so, for whatever reason, I was spacing out and didn't notice the silent alarm of the door we wanted to get in.

"Don't kick yourself about this" I hear Shego's voice who has her eyes closed. "This isn't entirely your fault… I shouldn't have attacked him in blind anger" she opens her eyes slowly. "Shit… damn light" she looks groggily around the rom. "How is your shoulder?" she asks concerned the moment her eyes lay on me.

She should be furious with me… who am I kidding she is too good with me. She would never blame me for something that she thinks isn't totally my fault. I don't know if like or hate that about her.

I give a resigned sigh "The battlesuit sealed the wound and the painkillers are wearing off" I look at her but quickly turn around. "So I will be in a bit of pain but I think the adrenalin doses the battlesuit will give the moment I give the signal will block anything else"

"Good to hear" she says a bit relieved but I can hear some doubt on her voice. I bet all my money she is wondering why I am not looking at her.

I smirk faintly without turning my head in her direction. "By the way. I know you like black and green but don't you think that is taking it a bit too far"

She gives me a confused look. Then she shivers her eyes grew wide and she blushes slightly. "Son of…" I hear her murmur but then she smirks at me. Uh oh, I don't like that. "It was luck that I was wearing at least this for this mission. I mean the last months Wade's batlesuit kept me warm so I get used to it and forgot how cold my catsuit could be… without nothing under it"

Shit! That means all those time we fought, struggled, pinned each other and whatnot; Shego was going commando under her suit? I can't help but blushing.

She chuckled at my reaction. "You are too easy"

I pout "How can you tease me in a moment like this" I mean we are trapped and don't have an idea of what to do.

"There is nothing to do right now… so why not?" she pauses for a few seconds. "We just have to wait and pry your little brothers don't blow the place" I chuckle.

"Glad you are enjoying your stay here" I hear a sarcastic-polite voice. That man again. "Comfy?" the right side of her face is now covered with bandages. He stands (or sit?) out of the room in his wheelchair. We both roll our eyes. That is lamest and most old line villains use when they trap their prisoners. "Don't look at me like that. Ok I want you comfortable so here" he press a button on his wheelchair and Shego falls to the floor. Odd, there are no chains just… "I hope you like those bracelets I made especially for you" he says with what I hope is mock-leer.

"Didn't know you like it kinky" She teases him. "This is one of your sick fantasies when I come back to you and you get your paws on me" It makes me sick thinking about that man touching her now (or before) that he have her at his mercy. And it makes me sicker he would touch her in such perverted way. "Oh, wait! I should have guessed. This is the only way you can get off now right?" she smirks. His left eye twitches. Then her eyes opens more like she had been just hit by a huge realization. "That is why you haven't touch that copy right?"He clutches her wheelchair armrest hard "Not because you don't want to but because you can't… she isn't missing a lot, trust me" she says cruelly making him growl. Then, she suddenly throws a plasma ball at him… but it just dispelled when it got to the threshold, revealing a light-like wall.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" he says smirking somberly like her former anger would never have happened.

"Doy" Shego says. It is obvious that it would be a loss of time and energy trying to pass thought that energy barrier.

"No, not about the door" he is wearing an evil smirk. "I mean your powers"

The TV in the corner turns on showing a white room with a man sat on a chair. Joseph then talk on the control he used to turn on the TV. "Wake up Jill"

"It is Jim boss" I hear the man on the TV.

"Whatever" the invalid man answered disinterestedly. "It is time for a little test"

This Jim man started to panic. "No…Boss… please" he got near to the camera in his room there is when I notice he is wearing the same bracelets Shego has on his wrists and ankles. The man then touch the back of her neck, taking out of it a dart.

"You will love this" Joseph says with humor dripping his voice. "I make the compound on the dart especially for your powers"

The man on the screen suddenly erupt in flames… no flames, plasma. He must have done the man the same he did to his body. The plasma gets to his shoulder and covered his feet too. He yelled in surprise but after a moment he laughs like a child with a new toy.

"This is… incredible" the man says through the speaker.

"You won't think that in a few seconds" The blonde on the other side of 'door' says nonchalantly.

As if on cue the man on the TV started to grunt and tries to turn off the plasma with no avail. Some light on his bracelets turn on and then… I gasp at the thunder-like sound and turn away from the gory scene. Now I really want to throw up. How could he do that to one of his men. That is… cruel.

"See" he says amused "The more you use your powers the more energy the bracelets will receive and when they get to it limit" he make movement with his hands like mimicking an explosion. "Boom! There are no more limbs" then she smile wistfully. "It is ironic you know" he turn his head away from the screen to look at Shego, she doesn't look so affected; she is hiding it or she has seen worse. I don't know which I'd rather believe. "Your plasma took my legs and now it will take your limbs"

"Don't blame for your experiments stupidity" Shego barks at him.

"This?" he looks at his motionless legs. Then he laugh humorlessly "No dear, this is not for my experiments. This is memento of the last time we saw each other in person… "

Shego snares "Last time I saw you had a very functional pair of legs"

"No" he barks. "Last time you saw me you blasted me out of your way not to a wall but to a column that shattered my spine confining to this thing!" he hit his wheelchair with both fist and with enough force that it made me flinch.

I can feel a bit of sympathy for him. I crush that thought the moment it surfaced in my mind. That man has no heart for me to feel sorry.

"Oh" Shego says with a brief guilty look which is almost instantly replaced with glare. "Glad I at least take away something from you like you had with so many people in those years" he gives her a confused yet worried look. "Yeah, I have seen the papers and archives you foolishly kept in the many places I have destroyed in the past months" then she chuckles darkly. "And let me tell you this no one is gonna give you a work or some kind of backing for you projects any time soon if for some miracle I let you live to go to jail" he looks at Shego more worried. "Your career is over"

"You bitch" he tries to jump at her but one of the men that has been beside him all this time put a hand on his shoulder to keep him in place and avoid a nasty fall. This man must really love his job.

After a few huffs and groans he leaves us alone without saying another word but not without shot Shego the most spiteful glare I have ever seen.

SKP

The moment I get in that room again I notice some things.

First, all the people in here are cowering in their places. I can see the flinch.

Second, the man who is supposedly my father is boiling with anger.

And finally I notice with a smirk on my lips that he is now wearing bandages on the right side of his face.

"Get that smug look off you face" He growls at me. "And don't get your hopes high" he gives a cold smirk. "I just take care of your mom, she won't be a problem the moment she get angry enough… and hopefully the red head too" Nonononono. He has to be bluffing, there is no way mom… "Now it is time for science to begin" he looks at me. "I am going to enjoy this" he says darkly. I feel the hand with the woman beside me is holding me by my shoulder tense. That can't be good. "I can't comfort you telling you this won't hurt you… because it will" he says pressing a button and the tomography-looking machine opens and I am pushed into it. "We'll just take some spinal, lobe, bone, muscle, tissue and whatever other things we can get out from you" I hear his voice from a speaker inside the machine. It looks immaculate from the inside illuminated by a lonely while light.

I try to struggle but soon I am trapped by straps that surround around my body.

"Please don't move, we don't want to make this more painful that it has to be" a feminine voice come from the speakers.

"Of course we want" that mam voice cut off the woman.

There are some whooshing sounds, like a chainsaw, around me and the table I am on suddenly retract to the base of the machine. I brace me for a fall but I am suspended in the air. Am I levitating?

All coherent thought leave my mind and are replaced by panicked feelings when the wall of the machine open in various places to reveal various pieces of equipment most of them I have seen the time we went to visit Anne to the hospital and she show us around the surgical wing.

The moment all those devices were inches from me all go quite and then I was surrounded by darkness.
