Author's Note: I have no clue how to write scenes like this, so I apologize for how rough and confusing it might seem. I'm still learning how to write this sort of stuff, so hopefully with practice I will improve. Well, I'm sorry it's taken this long, and that some parts seem weird. I'm planning out how I want this story to go, and currently it is without an end. I'm kind of winging it right now and seeing what happens. Well, I hope you all enjoy, and I'm sorry it's taken this long...
"What do you mean 'something isn't right'?" Betty asked, her voice slightly confused.
"There's not enough security. I can see how your agents got through the first part and over the wall, but I haven't seen anything since. There are no motion sensors, no lasers, no guards. Nothing."
"Keep an eye out and find my agents."
"Yeah," Shego muttered. The hallway was dark, no lights to lead the way. Doors riddled the wall, but none had light coming out from underneath.
Shego cursed silently to herself as she made her way through the building. Where were the damn agents?
She froze right before stepping on a leaf. Well, they weren't perfect at sneaking, but at least it proved they'd gotten inside. The only problem was, where had they gone from there?
With a frown she tapped on her comm. link and hissed, "Betty, can you get a hold of Kim?"
"I'll try."
"Good, ask her for a status update."
There was silence on the other end for a couple moments before she received a reply. "It looks like they're in the main hall. They're deciding who's going where since the building is enormous."
"Thanks," the green skinned woman muttered. She dashed off towards the end of the dark corridor, hoping the main hall was at the end. She released a sigh of relief when she spotted her trainees hidden in the shadows. Not many would be able to notice them if they were careful.
Shego moved to another shadow, just close enough to hear their whispering.
Kim gave them directions to split up and to head in different directions. Some going down the hall they'd come in to check the rooms, others to head down the other wing, some to head up the steps, and Kim was to stay stationed on the main level awaiting their return.
"Hey Betty, Princess is splitting up the squads to search. I won't be able to watch them all."
"That's alright, if you can, pinpoint the best vantage point for you to move wherever you're needed and wait there. If I get any sort of distress signal I can tell you who is requesting help."
"Understood." Shego shifted herself slightly and disappeared from against the wall, sliding smoothly into another dark crevice beside the stairs. Her agents didn't notice a thing. Kim's eyes had flickered up a little, but when she didn't see anything she'd returned her attention to pointing out who goes where.
The agents scattered, and only Kim remained in place, blending in almost perfectly. Her eyes were sweeping back and forth, but she never noticed the emerald eyes staring at her.
Shego sat patiently waiting. If there was no call for help, she couldn't move. She was not to interfere in the mission just report to Betty.
After five minutes of waiting a low buzz filled Shego's ear. "Anything happen yet?"
"Not yet Bets," Shego sighed. "We haven't seen anybody or any security. Are you positive this is the right place?"
"It has to be… there's nowhere else they could be. This is where we've lost agents."
"And you don't think that they might've just, oh, I don't know, moved after the first wave of agents you sent?"
"Unlikely."
Shego muttered, "Well for now it's empty. I'll contact you if I can figure anything else out."
"Good."
Sighing, the green skinned woman scanned the area again. The building was giving her the creeps. It wasn't that she was scared of someone being there, it was the fact that there was no one there that had her on edge.
Then she heard a muffled scream coming from one of the wings. Kim's head snapped up but she stayed still. She scanned the area before dashing off in that direction. Shego looked down the hallway she'd originally come from, and the agents exploring it came filing back into the main hall and moving quickly towards the other wing. Those up the steps came down as silently as possible and followed their comrades.
Shego didn't move for a couple seconds, waiting, watching. She was about to follow after the other agents when she saw movement.
"Aw fuck," Shego muttered. A stream of ten men in full gear moved silently through the main hall, passing by the green skinned woman within centimeters.
As the last man came by, she silently grabbed him and covered his mouth and nose, holding him until he grew still. She released him, and checked his pulse. Still alive. Sighing in relief slightly she tapped her headphone, "Betty, there are nine men heading in Kim's direction, I don't know what's going on over there. I'll follow behind them in a minute… after I deal with one of the little rats I've caught."
"Shego, hurry. I'm getting distress signals from four different agents."
"Understood." The green skinned woman began removing everything on her captive. She pulled on the gear and then propped him up against the wall. She then dashed after the men, clad in their gear.
When she arrived in the next wing she saw one of the room doors open. Four of the attackers were lying unconscious, and the others were all huffing, their guns aimed on a couple of her agents.
She cursed lightly as she slipped in and joined them.
Just from scanning the room Shego could see a couple agents hiding in dark corners. Kim and Will were both in the group with guns on them. With a frown the green skinned woman aimed her guns at her surrounded agents.
One of the men in gear seemed to be saying something to her in a foreign language, and it took her a minute to understand what was being said.
"Where were you?"
Shego deepened her voice and replied in the same tongue, "I caught a little rat. I dealt with it."
"Dead?"
"Of course."
"Good. After we deal with these four we'll split up and look for the others. Lookout said he spotted about 19 agents entering. You took care of one and we have another four here. There should be 14 left."
Shego smirked beneath her helmet. They had only seen 19 agents, and those were her trainees. That meant none of them had seen her enter. Perfect. "Where do you think the others went."
"My guess is to the basement. It's in this wing, they must've found out."
"Got it."
"Now then," the man said in English, "it looks like we'll have to dispose of you all. I'm surprised you all are still trying."
Kim grit her teeth. Will said, "Where there is injustice we will be there to stop it!"
"Or die," the man chortled, his heavy accent permeating his words.
Shego smirked and said in English, copying his accent, "Good thing these ones didn't make it to the basement steps in this wing. That'd be too much trouble."
"Yah," the man replied. "Now then, you lot say your last prayers." He gestured towards his men and they raised their guns.
Before they could fire the agents hidden in the shadows took action, removing the guns from the grasp of the armored men before beginning to fight.
The four cornered agents immediately joined the fray.
Shego disappeared out of the room and made her way back to the man she'd captured, re-equipping him with most of his gear and then moving him to just outside the room they were fighting within. The more deadly of his weapons were removed. His ammunition was discarded underneath a floorboard of a hallway, and she kept the various bombs by hooking them onto her catsuit.
She then clicked her comm. and whispered, "They're fine Bets. They were in a jam for a bit, but they now know the general location of the basement and that it's slightly important. I believe they've finished knocking out the ten men and are going to proceed down the hall in search of the basement."
"Are any injured?"
"No shots were fired. I'm guessing that they're in alright condition. Maybe some bruises and such, but overall they are fine. No loss of life."
"How did they know you all were there?"
"Apparently there was a lookout."
"Do they know about you?"
"No. They only counted nineteen. I make twenty."
Shego could hear Betty sigh in relief. "Alright, good work. Keep watching over them and relaying back to me."
"Yes ma'am."
Shego stayed in the shadows as she watched the agents move silently down the halls, not opening any doors as of yet. When they reached the end of the hall they found a trapdoor on the ground and silently lifted it.
As they shuffled down the steps, Shego stayed put for a few moments. When no more guards appeared she slunk down the hallway and slipped over to the trapdoor and cracked it open slightly, she was greeted with steps.
Closing the trapdoor behind her she quietly descended, following after her trainees. She could hear their slightly hitched breathing, but there was something else she could hear. It took her a moment to put her finger on it, and when she did, she paled.
