Author's Note: Sweet :D I got a chapter done for two of my diff fics. I'm proud of myself! Woo! I must admit, I didn't see it coming :3 I wasn't planning to work on this chapter until next week, but since I had a little time before going to a friends house for some Adventure Time... I decided to finish this up so ya'll can read it! Hope you like it! :)
Time passed by in the blink of an eye. Shego was mortified how quickly time passed. She'd been working with these idiots for so long, and two weeks ago they found out they needed to learn to work well as teams. Even when they tried to work with one another like an actual team they were doing horrible. Shego was ready to give up on them and mark them as dead when they went on the mission. They'd improved individually, but they were doomed if they couldn't work with their designated partner.
As her pupils were suiting up and heading for the drop plane, she sighed and said, "I'm not going to give you a pep talk. In fact, this is the opposite. You all have shown no improvement in teamwork whatsoever; no matter how hard you try. If you can't work together you won't get out alive. I'm not expecting to see any of you return." Shego made eye contact with Kim. "And I mean any of you. You don't know what you're going against. You're way in over your heads. Oh, but don't worry. I'm pretty sure as soon as your plane takes off I'm going to be working with some of the slightly lower ranking members. I get to teach them what you couldn't learn, and then they'll take your place. So don't worry too much about your lives being a detrimental loss. You're more of a recon team. The cameras on your gear will show us what you know, and so we'll be more prepared when we send in forces that actually have a chance."
Kim frowned and said, "Shut up Shego. You're about to see us off on a mission that you say we're going to die on and that's all you have to say?!"
The ex-villain shrugged. "Oh please, Princess, don't start. You know it's true."
"I knew you were cold, but I never realized you were heartless," Kim spat.
"Well get used to it Princess… Oh wait, you don't have you. You won't be coming back," she laughed.
The redhead narrowed her eyes, "And here I thought we were actually friends."
"I don't have friends Kimmie. You should know that," Shego laughed. "And don't worry, I won't be missing you either, so you don't have to worry about dying. I'll take that news with my morning coffee and not lose any sleep over it."
"Yeah, but you'll only be alive because you don't have the balls to be joining us on this mission. You don't have a heart, nor do you have the guts to go on such a mission with us. You know we don't have a chance without you, yet you won't go. You'd rather stay here than throw yourself in danger."
Shego shrugged, "I'd rather not sustain injuries for your sake, that'd be stupid."
Kim angrily huffed and walked towards the hangar.
The other GJ agents all looked at Kim and then at Shego. They glared at their teacher and followed after the redhead.
Will Du was the last one to go. He turned to Shego and said, "You're a real bitch. Even I can agree with Kim on that one." He left without waiting for Shego's reaction. He figured she'd probably roll her eyes and walk away.
Shego on the other hand sighed and scratched the back of her head. She expected everyone to blow up in her face, but Kim's reaction was not one she'd anticipated. Well it was her fault after all.
A hand fell upon her shoulder, and Shego was about to flip the person when she recognized their voice.
"It was good that you did that. They'll never suspect you're tailing them," Betty said calmly. "Now then, you should suit up yourself."
Shego raised an eyebrow. "I'm already suited up."
"You're wearing a blue GJ work uniform. Do tell me how that could be considered mission clothes."
The green skinned woman rolled her eyes and pulled off her clothes, revealing her black and green cat suit beneath. "I told you. I'm suited up."
Betty chuckled. "Always ready for everything hmm?"
Shego looked down and muttered, "Not… everything…"
"What?" Betty asked, leaning in closer. "Sorry, didn't catch that."
"It's nothing. Anyways, I better get going. I think they'll be far enough away that they won't notice me."
"Alright, good luck. And Shego, please do try to bring at least some of my agents back alive. Preferably all of them."
The green skinned woman rolled her eyes. "I'm not their babysitter. I'm only there for recon and info, remember? I'm not there to protect them. You want them alive, but I'm not going to jump in to save them. I'll tell you how they're doing and what I see, but I'm not risking my life for ingrates who can't even learn how to work with a fucking partner."
Betty cocked an eyebrow, "I don't have time for your sass. Just get going before they're too far away."
Shego rolled her eyes and saluted her friend, "Yes ma'am."
Betty snorted and turned to walk away. She stopped at the doorway and whispered, "Good luck."
"I'll need it," Shego scoffed. Then she went to the hangar where her black jet awaited her.
She took off, flying her plane at a low altitude, staying off the radar. She was practically skimming the waves, careful to stay away from anything that could detect her. Placing her jet on stealth mode, she disappeared as the paneling and window took constantly images from what was all around and displayed them over the body of the jet, creating but a shimmer in the sky.
It was a three hour flight, and Shego wasn't looking forward to it.
Shego raised her jet to a higher altitude, bringing it out of reach of any possible gunfire. As she hovered above the castle they were infiltrating, the top opened and she jumped up and allowed the jet to continue on. Pressing a button on her wrist she sent it back to GJ headquarters where Betty would await its arrival to make sure it was in top shape and to refuel it.
She freefell for as long as she could before pulling her parachute, only needing it for a few seconds before landing and unclipping herself, rolling behind one of the trees in the forest surrounding her target.
Just by looking around she could see a parachute hanging in a tree and another in some bushes.
"Looks like they made it here safe enough," she muttered. She looked them both over and concluded that there were no bullet holes. She clicked her headset and said, "Hey Betts. Alright, I landed safely. I found two of the parachutes from your agents. They seem to have landed without a hitch. I've heard no gunshots and my jet wasn't shot at. I'm assuming we're in the clear for now."
"Alright. Good. Now then, get your ass in gear and follow my agents."
"Yes, your royal bitchiness," Shego muttered, rolling her eyes.
"What did you say?" Betty asked in a low growl.
"Oh nothing, nothing," Shego said in a way too innocent voice.
"Good."
Shego clicked her headset again and started towards the castle, keeping to the shadows. She'd seen a few video cameras, but she couldn't be captured on those, she was too good. She studied their pattern and found a path to slip through.
Once against the castle wall, she scaled it, peering carefully over the side. Nothing so far.
She made it through the common grounds in front of the entrance before she slipped inside a window.
There was something weird about the place. There wasn't enough security.
Shego put a finger to her ear. "Betty… Something isn't right."
