Shego avoided the GJ agent, until the next morning, she gave the cold shoulder to the doofus, and once he was gone Shego found herself blushing while eating her breakfast, she was nervous to see Kimmie on the screen that day, but when she saw the redhead blush, she imagined why she would do so and all the blood rushed to her face, making her face heat up and become a slightly darker green.
Great, she looked around to make sure no one saw her in this state.
Her eyes went back to the screen as fast as they could when she spotted Mikey, he had brought groceries this morning, and obviously everything was in order in the kitchen because he was here, staring at her.
"So what's going on between you and Possible?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about"
She didn't even look at him when she replied; she looked as if all her concentration was on the screens.
"You owe me remember"
At that she turned to him.
"To make things clear if I reply to this question, you can't call on any favor anymore?"
"Yes"
"Well when you put it that way… nothing is going on! Nothing that you didn't read in one of your report before"
He sighed; he knew there was something there. He sat down next to her on the screen to realize that he couldn't see Kimberly Possible anywhere.
"Where is she?"
"In the shower"
He turned her desk chair to him but she turned her face again so he couldn't see her face.
"You know she has nightmares?"
"Yes, the doofus told me"
"Did he tell you they are about you?"
It was scary how fast her head turned to look at him, right into his eyes, like she was trying to see what was deeper, his soul.
"What?"
"When she is in the middle of a nightmare, she turns and trash, she screams your name"
Thinking about the day before she asked, all too seriously.
"Are you sure they are nightmare? She could be having an… other kind of dream that would make her act like…that"
His jaw fell, he didn't expect that, but it proved him that he was right.
"No, she has nightmares. But why do you think it could be wet dreams?"
She turned her head again, but not before he could see that she was blushing.
"Do you want her to have this kind of dreams about you?"
"No!"
There he could see her face, he hoped he could keep it that way.
"Then why would you thin…Oh!"
The expression he could see told him what he needed to know.
"She did something! What did she do?!"
"Hey! Don't get so excited!"
He raised his hands in front of him, there was no problem.
"So she…when I thought that you…and…that explains it"
"I didn't understand a thing, but if you're finished, that's fine by me"
"She has nightmares about you, she changed once you disappeared and now you caught her…in the act, doing something related to you. She has feelings for you"
He was going to say something else until she gave him a murderous look.
"Yes and this feeling is called guilt. All her life changes because she was convinced she had killed me, everything changed because of it, hence the nightmares. As for the…incident part, she called Shego, her cat's name because she had jumped on the bed at the wrong time"
"Are you trying to convince me or yourself?"
It had been three days since Mikael confronted the green woman with his thoughts on the situation, and ever since they had been arguing.
Shego was getting so fed up with him that she spent more time with the other agent; they had agreed that this topic was to be discussed only in private, between them.
"You have to see the truth!"
"Mikey, I'm this close to leaving a definitive handprint on your face!"
Her thumb and index were too close to his liking.
"Fine, I'm going home anyway, my night shift is over"
"Thank God!"
Was the last thing he heard when he left the flat; he had to find a way to make things move. He couldn't let this mission get completed with these two in the same situation they had before all this happened.
Kim barely felt a pull anymore when she did something physical; it was time for her to get out a little, maybe even stop at her office.
So she decided to make a phone call to let them know she was coming.
Shego was running in her flat, she had to change her clothes, put on some make up to hide her particular skin tone, and last but not least she had to put some blue contact lenses, she didn't really understood why, it's not like she was going to take part in a staring contest with Kimmie.
She groaned when she did it; they were blue, Hego's color.
And the princess was already out the door, for god's sake, wasn't she supposed to be wounded.
Kim let out a happy sigh, things were getting better, after a long talk with her boss, she could go back to work next Monday, in four days.
Finally she'd have something to do; she couldn't stay alone in her apartment and do nothing.
Good, it was green for her so she walked through this crossroad; she just had to stop on the way to buy food; she had given up the idea of cooking her own food a while ago.
She was in her mind when something collided with her side, she felt arms around her waist and the next second she was on the pavement, on the sidewalk.
She looked around in panic, but there was no one close to her, she saw a van speed away, and a little part of its plate, and there was that perfume again.
Shego was following the pumpkin, it felt good to be outside after all this time in a tiny enclosed space, but it was a lot of work, harder than it was with the screens.
She was uneasy when she was standing this close to all this authority, cops everywhere; She shuddered when she thought she'd have to come here more often once Kimmie would get back to work.
A few minutes later, when Kimmie crossed the street she saw it coming, a white van, coming straight towards the redhead, and it seemed it was gaining speed.
She ran as fast as she could to pull Kim out of the way, she wanted to stay longer, make sure she was okay but she couldn't, so she disappeared in the crowd and called the GJ agents to let them know what happen and that they should pick up Kimmie, she could have gotten hurt because of the impact.
She waited, hidden from her princess' all along; she kept an eye on her until the help was here, and even then, she only started to calm down when Mikey arrived.
Still, she refused to leave when he told her, she had to stay, this was her job after all. Right?
They talked about what happened, what she saw and what was caught on camera, then he left her to go check on Kim Possible, and ask some more questions.
Shego watched them put her princess in an ambulance; Mikey thankfully climbed in with her, it made her feel a little better but the bad feeling she had wouldn't leave her, stuck in the pit of her stomach.
She pulled out her phone to check if she had been called back, but nothing.
The phone in her hand bipped, she had received a message from her boy.
He let her know in which hospital they were going, that Possible seemed to be okay, so it was probably a simple formality and that she should just go back to the apartment.
Like that was going to happen.
