Chapter Five: Acceptance, Rejection, and Confusion
Shego barged into Dr. Director's room knocking Will into the wall as he tried to open the door. Kim came in a second behind Shego and peeled the door away from the wall and helped Will to find a chair while she hurried over to make sure that Shego played nice with Betty.
"Ah, Shego, Ms. Possible what a nice surprise," Betty said sarcastically rolling her eye. Holding up a hand to forestall Shego's own sarcastic comments she continued, "Will could you please hand me the contract." With contract in one hand and with the other preventing his nose from gushing his blood all over his uniform Will handed the contract to Betty.
"Thank you Will, now you two this contract states that Team Possible has the right to work for Global Justice. The terms are that you have the right to select the mission which consists of, time, danger, and pay. However Global Justice retains the right to refusal on certain missions or setting the objectives, while we would hate to limit Shego in anyway," another eye roll, "this contract is a short term contract for outside contractors so take it or leave it."
"What do you think Princess seems pretty good," Shego said holding up the contract, it was straight forward with no loopholes and favored both sides, the contractors more than the employer though.
"You're the contract person Shego I trust your judgment," Kim replied with a shrug of her shoulders. Shego felt a rush of warmth at the fact that Kim was willing to trust her in such an important matter and turned to Betty signing the contract and passing it back to Kim.
"Now Betty we will accept this contract however if anything changes we will need to renegotiate," Shego then handed the contract to Betty as Kim passed it to her. "Now if that's everything we need to go see Doc and the Buffon so see you later." With that she and Kim left the room and Betty and Will released the breath that they had been holding when Shego poked her head in the room saying, "Oh, yeah and if you try to betray us I can't promise that you'll survive the beating, see you later," as Kim dragged her away from the room.
The two top agents were left pale as ghosts recalling Shego's and Kim's words from last night and knowing that they were not idle threats. Desperate to preserve her reputation as a bitch from Hell Dr. Director turned to Will an evil smirk on her face. "Now Will where were you when I was launched through the wall yesterday," Betty began sweetly.
"I was getting the contract ready, I figured that you would want those too under contract as soon as possible." Will stammered trying hard not to blurt out that he had thought to perform a strategic retreat.
"Well Will we will have to work on your listening skills because I don't recall giving you permission to leave my side." With that said Betty Director picked up the phone and asked the nurse station too send up another bed for her room and explained that Will Du would need medical treatment when they arrived. Five minutes later Doctor Samantha arrived with two orderlies and the bed upon seeing Will, beaten to a pulp, she demanded to know what was going on and Will just said that the door had hit him.
Drakken slammed the laptop shut as the door to his guarded hospital room was slammed open.
"Okay Doc what is it I don't have much time to deal with you so spit it out." Shego barked leaving Kim to follow her with a sigh and eye roll.
"Ah, Shego thank you for arriving so quickly if I could have a word with you in private." Drakken said pointedly glancing at Kim. Before Shego could say anything Kim stepped forward saying,
"It's okay Shego I'll just keep the guards company," with that said she headed out to have a conversation with the guards while Shego called out,
"Good idea Kim, keep Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum company," which sent Kim hollowing with laugher while Genone and Gentwo hollowed protest. As the door shut Kim turned to the twin Global Justice agents and asked,
"Do you guys have nicknames people can call you so they don't confuse you two?" she asked with a tilt of her head.
"Well everyone finds it easier to call me Sam, because I'm dependable and her nickname is obviously Sugar," Sam said pointing his thumb over at Sugar who was currently sucking the life out of a giant pixie stick. Kim just chuckled and settled into an easy banter while inside the room Drakken and Shego were having their talk.
"Now Shego what's the plan for busting out of here?" Drakken asked as soon as the door was shut.
"Excuse me?"
"Oh, come on Shego," Drakken said with a roll of his eyes which caused Shego's own eyes to twitch and filled her with a desire to punch the next person who rolled her eyes at her. "You are a very good actor but I know you better and this goody, goody act is just a ruse to lower Possible's suspicion. You would never turn good and you are loyal to me after all."
"You know Drakken you really are an idiot," Shego smirked while Drakken's jaw decided to tap dance on the floor. "You're so wrapped up in yourself that you think you know everything when actually you don't know shit. Kim is my partner and you are going to stay in prison where you can't screw anything up for us."
When she turned her back to continue on about all the ways that Drakken was an idiot, loser, and maniac he flipped open his computer again and reread the e-mail he had been sent about the offer to take Shego out. He hadn't known who had sent it and immediately rejected it but now having Shego insult him and dare to leave him in prison he quickly replied yes to the e-mail and sent it just before Shego closed his laptop and flung it against the wall shattering it.
"Okay Doc it's incredibly rude to ignore someone when they're talking to you," Shego then lit up her hands and for the next several minutes there came the sounds of fighting from the room and Shego walked out a few moments later and just behind her Drakken was dangling from the ceiling supported by his head which had been pushed up through the ceiling. As she walked away Kim chased after her calling to the two agents, "bye Sugar, Sam."
Ron sat in his room trying to work on a puzzle he had completed the left and bottom edges of the puzzle and was working on the other two edges when Shego and Kim walked in.
"Hey K.P.," Ron said pushing the table aside as he and Kim exchanged a hug. Shego just snorted at the two and pulled the table with puzzle over to her snorting that Ron had only done two edges, after all her talents as a master thief let her see the patterns of life so puzzles were easy.
"Hey Ron," Kim began sitting on the edge of the bed, "You wanted to see me?"
"Yeah Kim, it's about what you said that you just want to remain friends. I mean I really like, like you and I'm wondering why you think it can't be."
"Look Ron you're like a brother to me and it's not because you're clumsy or anything its jus that we have been friends for so long that it's difficult to think of you in any other way." Kim said trying to approach this in a way that wouldn't hurt Ron but preserve their friendship. However, Ron's eyes were watering and as Kim fished for something to say, Shego spoke for the first time since entering the room,
"Relationships are very complicated and there are a number of things to compare them too, take this puzzle for instance," she gestured to the nearly completed puzzle on her lap finishing it in record time and not even paying attention to what she was doing. "All of these pieces are different, like people, yet they all can fit together. Now granted some pieces are further apart from each other but they are still connected by the larger picture. It is easier to see the connections between adjoining pieces than it is too see the connections between pieces further away, which is why people mostly try to find someone they are similar too in order to make the connection easier rather than further away which is a harder connection.
Kim and Ron both just stared at Shego in shock. Ron was dumbstruck because he never expected Shego to be so philosophical while Kim was just lost in admiration for Shego and Shego's similar views to Kim's own. Before the two could say anything however Shego stood up from the finished puzzle and dragged the table over to Ron and snarled, "Buffoon what the hell is this," jabbing a finger at the puzzle picture of Kim and Shego in wedding dresses kissing while the full moon loomed behind them.
"Ron what the heck is this," Kim roared ready to start swinging because her thoughts were telling her, "Now that would be a dream come true, whoa hold it not that but the fact of getting married to someone I love, wait that came out wrong, oh sod it just start beating the crap out of someone."
"I don't know how the Buffoon got this but no one gets into my dreams, wait a minute my dream of finding someone I can stomach for more than five minutes, you mean like Kim, hell no, yes, no, yes, oh sod it give into your anger."Shego's thoughts flew a mile a minute as both she and Kim turned on Ron who lay cowering in his bed hands raised in a begging position screeching,
"Wait, wait Sugar gave this to me," Ron moved quickly hoping to calm the two woman down before they killed him, "all she told me that this was a puzzle that's it, I swear!" This calmed Kim down, however, Shego was still ready to go when her wrist kimmunicator began beeping and she shot a quick glance at it with an even quicker,
"Shit, Princes we need to get going Hego's on the way and I cannot promise that if he annoys me that I will hold back," Shego quickly fled down the hall leaving Kim to catch up again. Kim turned to Ron and said,
"Okay Ron I'm not mad at you I hope that we get to finish this later," then she bolted before Ron could reply. Just as she left the door opened again and Hego poked his head in saying,
"Ah, hello Ronald have you seen my sister or Kimberly I heard that they were leaving and were wondering when they would come to visit me."
"Hate to break it to you dude but they just left, Shego said something about avoiding you." Ron replied in a monotone upset that Kim had left with Shego instead of staying with him. Ron's statement of course left Hego confused and he limped away wondering why his own sister would not want to see him. Ron was just getting ready to hop back in bed when he felt a tingle down his spine and the door to his room closed revealing a figure standing behind it, Ron let out a girly scream as he fell backwards away from the intruder.
Hey everyone just wanted to say thanks for all the positive stuff and the reason for the names is because I needed two names for them but they will always be Generic Global Justice agents at heart never forget that.
