Chapter seventeen: Moscow show down
Kim and Shego walked through the facility with little regard to security. They had found a couple of lab coats and IDs to blend in but stayed close to one another as they got closer to the weapon. They tried to keep their communication to a minimum, but soon found themselves talking much more.
"So what do you think your former partner is doing now?" Shego asked as they turned a corner.
Kim looked at her watch. "I'd say by now James has her in a very uncomfortable interrogation."
Shego smiled at the thought as they pressed themselves into the shadows while a group of lab workers they waited for them leave their sight. Kim and Shego continued to walk. "So I guess you and her are even after this?" Shego asked.
Kim nodded.
"What are you going to do after you and her are even?"
"I'm going to pick up where I left off."
"You're going back to hero work?"
"No. I'm not going back to that, I was doing research before she stole my share and ended my funding. We're here." Kim said stopping in front of a heavy metallic door. She looked down at the IDs they were wearing. "These aren't going to get us very far in there. Don't let anyone see that."
Shego nodded and watched as Kim began to place what she could only guess was a contact lens on her eye and slip a glove on her hand. Kim typed in a long code of the keypad, a section of the door lifted and Kim placed her gloved hand on in the missing section. A moment later she leaned in close and stared into the missing section, a light scanned her eye.
Kim took a step back and removed the glove and contact. She smiled at Shego as the door slid open quietly. They stepped onto a narrow walkway that over looked a test area, Kim looked over the edge, the ground was at least ten feet down. She jumped over the railing and landed gracefully on the floor. Shego rolled her eyes and followed suit.
"So where is it?" Shego asked. Kim wordlessly walked around the room to a metallic box on the counter. She opened the box then looked over her shoulder with a smile. She pulled out what looked like a small gun.
"This is it." Kim said raising the weapon for Shego to see.
"That's it?"
"Yep, that's it."
"Where's the rest of it?"
"This is all of it."
"It looks like a child's toy. You expect me to believe a shock wave is going to come out of that?"
Kim turned and took aim. Shego scoffed. Kim smiled as a wave pushed through the air toward Shego. All the sounds in the room seemed to leave the room as Shego was lifted off her feet and thrown across the room. She landed on one of the few metal tables in the room, bending it to the floor when she landed. Kim smiled and placed the gun back in its case. The only sound that could be heard was Shego's low moan as she slowly unfolded the table wrapped around her.
"Okay…I want one of those for Christmas." Shego said dusting herself off and fixing her hair.

Eve crawled clumsily through the air ducts of the facility; the pain in her side slowed her down considerably. She took a short moment to lean against side of the wall ducts to breath. She heard people walking under her speaking in low whispers. She looked through the air vent and saw a familiar flash of red.
"Damn." She said to herself as she turned around and began a fast paced crawl.

Wade and Ron stood at the gates. Neither of them said a word, they just stood quietly and waited for their cue.

"Okay that's a lot of security." Shego said sat as they stood in the doorway leading to their exit. Before them sat hundreds of blue beams moved around the corridor. Kim nodded and began to tie back her hair. She took a deep breath and held the case close to her body.
"It's just like my first mission, only the lasers move. Do you think you can follow my lead?"
Shego tied back her hair as well and scoffed. "Why should I follow you? Why not have a little fun? Make it a race."
Kim began a full sprint down the corridor, she rolled, flipped, and cart wheeled past each beam of light. Shego followed suit. Together they raced narrowly missing collision with one another as they raced to the end of the hall. Neck and neck they paced one another to the end. Kim picked up speed defying gravity as she run up the wall avoiding the pressure sensitive floor; Shego did the same on the opposite wall keeping her pace with Kim. Both women leapt off the wall off the wall landing just outside of the hall.
"I win." Both women breathed in unison. They stared at one another and laughed quietly.
"Having a good laugh at my expense Kim?" A voice came from behind them. The women turned to see Eve standing just a few feet away, she wear a pained and hatful look. Kim smiled triumphantly, James had gone a little over board but she had her former partner right where she wanted her.
"Anastasia, I see you finally made it." Kim said pleasantly.
"Don't call me that. You have no right to call me that."
"Well you had no right to leave me for dead with but that certainly didn't stop you. Anastasia."
"I know it's been you. Swooping in and stealing my work, taking my clients, taking my money!"
"Yes karma is a real bitch when it bites you in the ass isn't it?"
"Shut up!"
"You should really keep it down Anastasia, security will hear you."
"I don't care. You're the ones who will go to jail not me. You forget I have proof of who you are."
Kim laughed and shook her head. "Proof? You have nothing on me, besides I'm Kim Possible. I used to save the world, who is going to believe you over me?"
Eve cringed with anger. "I have proof."
"No you think you have proof, I took care of that. Right now we have a score to settle." She handed the case to Shego and charged at the woman. Shego watched as they fought, making note of every punch and kick the fiery red head delivered. Each attack was blocked with ease, as the fight escalated Shego took this chance to slip out and head for the gate. Kim and Eve took no notice to Shego's exit and continued to fight.
"You're still not as good as I am Kim." Eve said proudly as she blocked another punch.
Kim laughed as she continued her attack. She landed one swift kick to the woman's chest and watched her slide into the corridor. "Actually, I'm better than you." Kim reached into her pocket and pulled out the weapon. "I just needed to get you where I wanted you." She took aim and fired.
All sound left the room as a wave rippled through the air and Eve was lifted off her feet and thrown to the floor. Sound slowly returned and an alarm could be heard. "I'll see you around Anastasia!" Kim yelled over her shoulder as she made her exit.

As Kim raced toward the gate she felt something was wrong. Shego should have been running beside her by now. She skidded to a stop and turned, Shego lay motionless on the ground just a few feet from her. A cold chill rushed up her back as she ran to where Shego lay.
"Shego. Shego what happened?" Kim begged as she turned the green hued woman over to get a better look.
"KP." A voice called from behind her. In anger Kim turned and fired the weapon that was still gripped tightly on her hand. She watched as Ron was thrown off his feet, as he slid on the concrete she charged him.
"Kim what are you doing?" Ron yelled as he struggled to his feet in time for a swift kick to the side.
"What have you done to her?" Kim demanded, kicking the blonde again.
"I have to stop you Kim, you don't know what you're doing."
Kim raised a brow and punched him. Ron fell to the ground; Kim lifted him by his shirt so they were eye to eye. "I know exactly what I'm doing Ron. Now you can step out of my way or I move you out of my way. It's your choice." She dropped Ron and stepped over him. Guards were beginning to pool out over the facility.
Ron just lay there. "I'm not going to fight you Kim. I just want you to come back, the world wants you to come back."
She had no time to waste with an unfair fight. Kim ran for the gate taking one last glance at Shego who still lay on the ground, she scaled the gate and disappeared into the night. Alarms and sirens echoed into the night air as she ran full speed.
(AN: One chapter to go people! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to update I moved in with a friend and we can't seem to get our internet to work. I've been running all over town looking for Wi-Fi places and didn't find one until today. Anyway I hope you liked my story as much as I liked writing it.)
