Shego had gotten her appetite back and there was a little improvement in her motor skills. Thanks to her physical therapy she could walk around the room and down to the cafeteria with no problems, but on the way back she would always need the damn wheel chair, but it was getting better. Right now they were in her room while she ate what the hospital called lunch, which was a chicken sandwich, a juice box and some type of fruit cup that Shego didn't even want to identify. Kim sat in the same chair working on Physics homework, and by the look of her book bag there were probably two or three more books just as big. The cheerleader was always an over-achiever and college didn't stop her from her normal tasks. Along with a definite wardrobe change, Kim now sported reading glasses which she wore as she worked on the Physics. Shego took another bite out of her sandwich and watched as Kim's face contorted in confusion yet again. Seeing the face numerous times, Shego put down her sandwich, swallowed what she had and took a gulp of her drink before looking to Kim.
"Drag your ass and that book over here. You look lost." She said and took in a breath as her headache came back and she blinked a few times to focus her eyes. Kim looked up at her:
"I can do it Shego, it's easy." Kim said and went back to the book.
"Then why are you confused on every damn problem?" Kim paused and Shego smirked. "Come on, I don't bite too much." She said and Kim smiled, Shego was coming back little by little. She picked up the book and walked closer to the bed. She set the book in Shego's lap and the older woman looked at the page and then at Kim. "This is rocket science princess… what year are you?" Kim blushed a little and scratched the back of her head.
"I'm working on my doctorate while taking some harder classes." Shego blinked a few times and then picked up the pencil in the book and worked out the problem on the sheet of paper and then handed it to Kim. "How'd you do that?!"
"I went to college to Kimmie." Shego winced slightly and put her hand to her head as a sudden headache came over her and she clenched next to her old enemy. Shego's normal sarcastic self disappeared. Kim jumped back suddenly as the tray on Shego's bed flew from the bed aimed at her and hit the opposite wall. Shego's arm went back to her side and she curled in on herself and Kim could here her sobs as pain and anger overtook her in an intense mood swing.
Before Kim could approach Shego again, the door to the room swung open and Shego's doctor, along with two orderlies, rushed in to see what happened. The doctor gestured for Kim to come closer to her.
"It was an accident. She didn't mean it." Kim said looking at the doctor and then the orderlies as the doctor instructed them to strap her down for the rest of the day. "Damn it. She didn't mean it." Kim said again and the doctor looked at her.
"Doesn't matter. Because of Shego's past behavior, she has to be strapped down when she becomes violent." The doctor stated. "Get your things, visiting hours are over." Kim growled and put her books and things back in her bag and looked to Shego as the drugs that the doctor had injected took effect. The older woman was helpless as she stared off into space, looking the part of a real psych patient.
"I'll come back to see you tomorrow Shego. Sleep well." The doctor, orderlies, and Kim left Shego to herself and the doctor was closed. Shego blinked in her drugged up state and clenched her fists as she looked to the now closed door. Rage filled her as she felt the weight of the straps and cuffs on her body. You can't keep me here forever.
-12 Years Ago-
He's been acting strangely, he seems more distant and I know in my heart that something is very wrong. He doesn't talk to me anymore and when we're together it feels like we're worlds apart. I want my brother back… She was sitting in her last class of the day before she had to go to practice and then home to the Go Tower. It had been only a few months since the meteor attack and now was the local green freak while her brothers remained in their social status. Julio's new super strength drove the team to more victories while Miguel's power didn't really do much of a difference for him. The twins were still the same, except now they skipped class and let their clones do all the work; their teachers' never notice. NaTashey couldn't wait for the day to be over, Nicolai said that he wanted to hang out with her for the afternoon. After practice of course. When the bell finally rang she raced out of the room and to the gym where the coach waited, and so did Nicolai.
"You're off the squad Gonzales." The cheer coach said and NaTashey froze. "Nicolai here says you cheated on your last test." The coach said and Nicolai stood there with a stoic expression and soulless eyes as the coach ruined what was left of her high school life. Jezi had dumped her after the meteorite and now no one would talk to her. She had no one. On their walk home that afternoon, NaTashey did everything she could not to light up and blast him to hell and back. Just before the door to their 'secret identity home' as Julio like to call it, NaTashey stopped Nicolai and turned him to face her.
"Why'd you do it?" She asked, fury still in her eyes. "You know that I don't cheat! You know that the squad was all I had left."
"You have me left." He said in monotone. "The squad kept you from me. I just want my sister all to myself… is that so bad?" This time he smiled and it seemed like Nicolai was back to himself.
"I guess so… but I'm still mad, Nicky… I could get kicked out of school." Nicolai just shook his head.
"No you won't, I made sure that the principal never found out…" NaTashey didn't catch his last comment as she ran into the house. That night on the news, the news reporter told of a murder at Go City High. The principal had been brutally beaten and then beheaded. There were no leads on the killer.
