Rogue Life

"Pull up the link to Eagle Eye!" in an unused section of the surrounding

wide holo screen, an image of a black-haired, green skinned female

is seen running on the roof of a building towards a fire escape on the other side

"Agent Torro don't allow her to escape!" the one-eyed woman watching command

the squad chasing after the female "I won't this time Dr. Director, promise"

Betty growl "don't promise Agent...do" the chased female jump off the ledge of the building

and grab the last walkway of the fire escape then grab the latter, slide down and let go just before

it stop landing on her feet with all the grace and skill of a cat emerald eyes look up to the GJ goon squad

racing down the fire escape after her, she charge up her hands without the plasma engulfing them

as a feral grin spread across her face...back at GJ HQ Betty's one good eye widen she know that

look all to well "Agent Torro disengage I repeat disengage!"

"but Director we almost have her"

"dammit I'm ordering you to get the hell out of..." the screen glow green then white as Shego release

her plasma full strength and the Agents' screams rocket out the speakers and Betty quickly snatch off

her headset and cover her sensitive ears while groaning in over the other earsplitting sound

coming out the speakers "turn the damn thing down!" her technicians does as told and she's able

to relax and look at the screen again although it pains her to with the deafening ringing in her ears now,

when she stand to her full height once more the light on the screen is dimming to

reveal her men on their backs, sides and stomach in their own versions of hell from the awesome power

their adversary delivered "get GJ EVAC to them now and make sure there is two medics on board"

she walk out the observation room and head to her office 'hey Bets how did your squad like my new skill?'

Shego's taunting voice ring in her head 'Sanai what was that?' the green female's laugh echo on her mind

'tsk tsk naughty pup I can't tell you, but I'll give you a hint 'light and sound made for military and police''

Betty's brow furrow 'dammit Sanai you know I don't like games!'

'sorry Bets if you won't play I have to go'

Betty growl 'fine I'll play'

'good girl...now what is it?'

Betty actually ponder the riddle "light and sound made for the military and police?" and it dons on her

'how did you figure out how to do that?'

'figure out what Bets, because I have no clue what you're talking about' Shego says sweetly

Betty sigh 'you know what I'm talking about Sanai!'

'of course I know but what I want to know is do you know the answer?'

'you created a flash grenade'

'good girl...I'd give you a treat, but you know I'd be caught so that's all I can give you'

Betty lay on the couch in her office and rub her temples 'enough with the games Sanai how did you figure that out?'

'one reveal at a time Bets and you know that...bye now' the one-eyed woman growl

"damn that woman..." she sigh "ah well I guess she's entitled to her games given her status, I just wish wasn't

adding me as a player, but one thing is confusing me...how was she able talk to me just then?" her eye widen

"DAMMIT!"

"Director?" a small voice call out while olive eyes take a look around

"yes?"

"why are they all staring at me?"

"because you were chosen by Princess Sanai and just as Cloud had said they have long awaited your arrival after hearing how she chose you, so they are gauging you from your looks to your scent"

Kim nod to show she understands, but at hearing that new information she just hope they can't smell her uneasiness "I'm still not sure about this since I only like men"

Betty smirk internally "sure Princess"

Kim growl "don't call me that!"

Betty gulp "yes Kim, but I should tell you something..." olive eyes look slightly up at her "whenever you address your civilians do not let fear and anxiety enter your tone, talk like you mean it don't allow your voice to waiver...understand?"

"yes ma'am"

"another thing while we are here don't address me as ma'am call me Betty, Elizabeth or Director"

"yes Director" Kim bow her head "Director..." Betty look at the redhead "how come I can't remember the Lieutenant, although can remember someone watching me when I was younger, I'd look around to see who it was, but since I didn't see anything I thought I was 'sensing' things, also why can't I remember seeing Lycans before?"

Betty is shocked that Kim remember Sanai watching her, but not the other two, she sigh wearily "well it may be because of the trauma you felt towards both accounts, the former from when the Princess bit you and the latter from the attack on your Alpha's territory or some Lycan probably scared you when you were younger, but with the first you were possibly upset with Sanai for biting you and until you saw her again while you where an infant to forgive her, but because you didn't, you forgot about her as you got older"

"well duh...I was a baby!"

"even babies have thoughts Kim, they might not be able to voice them for us to understand, but they have them and are able to discern what and who they like and remember them as they get older, especially important and/or memorable ones and that was why you saw the young Sanai when you were out in the hospital and why you are not able to copulate with anyone other than Princess Sanai"

Kim give an exasperated sigh "great my mind is against me"

"not exactly like I implied your infantile thoughts are what chose the Princess the same way she chose you, but unlike her you couldn't mark her like she did you"

Kim scoff "whatever...can you remember anything from when you were a baby?"

the one-eyed woman frown "just one"

Kim is skeptical, but ask anyway "what is it, if you don't mind me asking?"

"I don't like to talk about it"

the redhead become solemn "I'm sorry"

"nonsense Prin-..." she chuckle at the growl from the redhead "it wasn't anyone's fault, so no need to apologize"

Kim groan "both you and the Lieutenant are hard of hearing"

Betty laugh "well you can blame that on her, after spending long periods of time with her will change you"

"I'm not spending anytime with her except on the job"

Betty just eye her deciding not to comment on that statement at least not out loud 'let's hope you even get to do that, but if they don't kill her, she won't be able to leave when she accept her position'

'do you really think they'll kill her?'

'I don't know Doctor, so be prepared for anything 'cause if they don't kill her we might need you if you're not gone by then'

Ann sigh 'I wish he...'

Betty stop, turn on her heels sharply and point a threatening finger at the good Doctor "DON'T!..." she pause to speak in a more civilized tone "don't ever bring him up...ever, me and Sanai really don't like to talk about it...nobody likes to talk about that day" she murmur, before stalking off towards the house they are heading to, but turn off through some houses

leaving a head bowed Ann and Kira and a confused and angry Kim behind, who walk over to her mother "mind telling me what that was about?"

Ann look to her left just in time to see the tail end of Elizabeth Director as she disappear around a house "nothing Kimmie...come it's time you met Alpha Acoose, before it's dark" she look up at the light blue, purple and red-orange sky then follow behind Kira

Kim watch the two women return to their intended destination then at the gap Betty disappeared 'I wonder what made the ever collected Director of GJ snap?'

"someone close to her died"

Kim turn around in a defensive stance, no one sneak up on her and that's exactly who she see...no one, she relax and notice a pale freckled face contrasting against curly dark hair standing in front of her waist level, she squat in front of the boy "hi what's you name?" she smiling friendly at him so, she wouldn't scary him away

the little boy open his mouth to speak, but a male grab him and reprimand him right in front of her then bow his head to her "my apologies Princesa he won't bother you again" Kim stand as the father-who she assumed he is anyway- start walking away with the boy, she reach out to tell him that he wasn't bothering her, but retract her hand when he turn around protectively "sorry I don't want any trouble, so can you please...leave us be?"

Kim nod and hold her hands up in surrender "okay sir, I only wanted to talk" she watch him scurry away with a tilt of her head 'I wonder why he acted that way?' she shrug and run off to catch up with her mom and Kira, but stop at the site of the house the women are waiting in front of, the house is at least a hundred feet wide with a rectangle shape to it and three stories high, the whole house is made of pure, polished white granite and at the top of the stairs leading up to the open french doors is four ivory roman columns supporting a wide spaced, checkered metal pavilion with frosted glass in the spaces "whoa"

"impressive isn't it?"

the younger redhead look at her mother "it's nice...is this where the man in charge live?"

Ann nod "yep and it could also be yours, though if you had your way you wouldn't want to flaunt your status this way" Kim nod "but The Unega Mansion has been in this very spot for thousands of years after The Five Families defeated the Vampires that imprisoned us...and it takes twenty to forty willing servants in shifts to maintain the whole house upkeep" Ann and Kira walk on, Kim remain staring in awe of the house, but on the inside she's scowling, why should the people clean the house while the owners sit on their butts all day "come on Kim" the redhead take one last lingering look and follow after the women.

Shego and Xin Qian stand in a semi-circled, marble throne room before seven ten feet tall dragons with their heads bowed in respect with Shego a few steps ahead of her mother "Sanai I'm to believe Xin Qian has told you why you are currently standing in our presence am I right?" a dull yellow elder female dragon to Shego's right second to the last ask

Shego keep her head bowed "yes Master Zi An, but not to its full extent"

"very well, you are here because you have exposed our existence to the humans and used our power to destroy and corrupt innocent lives, that is not what our power is for it was used to help and defend those around us"

"and how do you purpose to explain yourself!" Shego raise her head just a hair as a dull purple elder male dragon sitting to the left of the throne ask her with harshness in his aged voice

Shego clear her throat "in all honesty Master Xino Chen On...there is nothing to explain except that I was younger and naive, but I know even that statement won't change the fact I still have to pay for all I have done to my opponents"

"any last requests before we decide your punishment?"

this time Shego's head rise and her emerald green gaze fall on the pure white dragon sitting on the high backed throne "My Queen, I request that you do not allow those I allow in my circle to be brought here for anything...I wish immunity"

the Queen's golden eyes narrow and she growl, not in anger, but in thought "I shall think on your request after we come to a decision"

Shego bow her head to hide her dissatisfaction with that answer "yes my Queen, but may I be frank?" at the Queen's approval she take a deep breath "that response is not acceptable" her tone is a tad harsh and curt

the elders, the Queen and her mother who has been neutral faced during the whole meeting scowl at the green-skinned woman 'I told you before we walked in here to cool your fucking temper!'

Shego growl 'fuck that, I-'

'do nothing to place shame on the Duan or the Goshin family name, so again cool your damn temper or I'll ask Her to ignore your request all together!'

Shego's hands flair with plasma for a second, before she does a swift about face and walk civilly out the elegant room, Xin Qian bow to the group of seven and follow her enraged daughter's deparure "she has a lot of fire that one" a dull green elder female dragon to the Queen's right comment

the Queen lean back "that she does although her past actions have dropped her from that pedestal of being our champion for exposing us far too many times since leaving her father's land"

Master Xino Chen On lean forward "what punishment do you intend to deliver?"

the Queen drum her claws on the armrests "hmm...I'd love to hear each sides' suggestions, if anyone should trump mine I will use that one" the elders murmur amongst themselves while the Queen contend to her own thoughts 'Sanai your offspring will be magnificent individuals and perfect vessels, but should we copulate the next generation of dragons will be glorious.'

"What were you thinking talking that way to Queen Lixue, I've taught you better than that, we never speak that way the presence of The Council...ever it does not matter if we don't agree with their decisions" the dark haired woman sigh heavily "we've already lost-"

Shego's body goes rigid "don't bring that up, you should know how that subject affects me and Bets, so...don't"

her mother nod "yes I do, we're all still hurting because of that incident, but because of that it shouldn't cause you to disrespect The Council like you did in there!"

Shego relax "it didn't, not at first, but now that, that was brought up I'm pissed again and it's all thanks to you...thank you" she reply sarcastically and turn her back on her twin, who she share have her DNA with

Xin Qian sit on the floor leaning against the wall "I'm sorry, it was nobody's fault..."

Shego laugh, but it's a hollow one "yeah and you just happen to shun me for it like it was my fault, if I can trade places, I would, it would've been better if it happened to another, but no...the clan has to live with as well as me and Bets, so yeah sorry" Shego raise a plasma lit hand and stare at it then snuff it with a snarl

Xin Qian look at her distressed daughter "I never blamed or shunned you" she get to her feet "so don't be made at me because..." she turn around wishing she can take that back

"so what do you call ignoring your children for eight years, because your only daughter couldn't protect one person, for eight years we were raised by grandma and our aunts for eight years, I sure don't call that good parenting skills, I missed you Mommy, you were the only person I aspired to be, but you were too self-centered to pay us attention after that incident, because you couldn't move the fuck on and it has made me a little resentful and short-tempered, but I guess I get it from the woman that birthed me" she scowl deeply at her mother "how about you leave and ignore me again for another eight years, you were always good at that"

a loud resounding smack is heard as Xin Qian's hand slap her daughter to the ground "I suggest you check who you're talking to because I'm not Bets or Monique, I am your mother"

Shego get back to her feet and stand close to Xin Qian "not for eight years you weren't and after that we only seen you once each month, if that..." her nostrils flair "so as I've said sorry if it couldn't have been somebody else that day" she brush past her mother angrily and head to back to the throne room when the doors open

Xin Qian watch her with hurt in her heart and anger in her eyes, she want to apologize for her actions so long ago and hopefully regain their once close connection again, but as she hate to admit Sanai made a point at one time she did blame her only daughter and shunned her children after that incident 'well you still haven't changed...much, in a way you kind of feel she should've done more to save him, maybe that's why she won't meet you halfway any more'

'I know Shuang I just...I don't know'

Shuang growl 'you better go in, their waiting for you' Xin Qian sigh and walk in wishing she can wait outside, so she wouldn't have to stare at her daughter's back any longer.
