I do not own any of the characters they belong to diseny.
Prodigal Daughter
A groan bounce off stone walls in the General's extravagant bedroom "General...hold still" the brown-haired stop squirming, but remain groaning in pain as Aqua clean and dress his wounds "that girl sure packs a wallop" a cold gaze hit her and she smile wave him off "just comment and sorry, but it's the truth"
Sheldon look at his right hand man "I thought you said she was weak!" he strain
Cloud clear his throat "my apologies General, I've read wrong, clearly she has mor-" he's cut off by his commanding officer's disgusted scoff
"no matter the plan is still in its beginning stages all I have to do is adjust..." he look towards the ceiling along with the other two
"what is she thinking?" Cloud murmur
while Sheldon smirk "excellent that will give me enough time" he laugh uproariously, but stop immediately when a sharp pain lance through his ribs "I'll make them pay double for causing me to be in this much pain and challenging my title" he grimace and Aqua pat him on the leg to let him know she's done torturing him, he sit up and slowly roll his right shoulder "damn girl, but as much as I hate to admit it, she's got potential as a leader" he walk over to a nearby wall and punch it "I didn't get this far to be knocked down by a couple of females"
the other occupants in the room groan tiredly "he's just going to end up hurt again" brown eyes turn to Cloud "you're fixing him then"
Cloud sigh heavily "sure, drop it on me, you're his mate, it's your job to fix him"
she smirk "it's funny, I'm a mate to the General, but I'm under you and treat him like his title suggests"
Cloud rest a hand on her shoulder "true, I'm going to the top and let you handle your husband"
she wave him off, while continuing to watch Sheldon injure himself all over again "pitiful" she sit in the high-back chair across from the bed, waiting for when he'll need her to patch him up again.
Betty, Will and Monique stand or sit in Shego's room while the plasma-wielding woman is still asleep "so what happened, 'cause green girl hasn't been this messed up since getting fired by ol boy blue"
Betty sigh "The Council skinned her a new tattoo"
the agents are shocked "I know she's resilient, but shouldn't she have died from the shock and bombardment of pain?"
"that's what Dr. Possible also said, but you two are forgetting about Xing, she's been helping to keep her alive, even then she kept the Princess from losing consciousness"
Monique rub the back of her index finger on the injured woman's cheek "poor Sanai" said woman mumble a little in her sleep then smile and clearly says a certain redhead's name, the two agents laugh at her
Betty shake her head "even in her dreams she's thinking about Princess Kim"
Monique look over at the brown-haired woman "mean ol girl, who beat your brother's controlling butt?" Betty nod "you know she look familiar"
"have you heard of Kim Possible teen hero?"
Monique squeal "no way!" her hand accidentally hit Shego's stomach, causing her to wake up screaming in pain
then grimace "dammit what are you trying to do Mo, make me bleed again?" she says in a strained whisper, then freeze in her doubled over state "wait...Mo?"
Monique smile meekly and wave "hey Sanai"
Shego continue staring in awe, then embrace one of her best friends tightly "I thought I lost you the other day"
Monique hug her back "child boo, just like you I'm sticking around forever"
Shego hug her tighter then release her as the pain start to set in again, she grimace "so...what happened?"
her friend brush some hair out her face "well after I woke up Will told me you were gone with your mom and I got a really nasty concussion, now I'm told things didn't go that well for you either and that the redheaded cute you still think about is the famous Kim Possible, nice going"
Shego smile painfully "yeah...I want to...send her home" the agents look at her in confusion "ugh...it's better that way, the Possibles will be safe" she grab the sheets "if I do then her blond friend won't have to take part in that ritual"
Betty bow her head "well if you're going to do this at least do it after Ann change the bandages"
"damn I hate this...go get her" when Betty walk outside Shego look at Monique "go across the hall and bring Kim before Bets get back with the doc..." she groan painfully "if Ann start now I'll be out until morning...I want to finish this now" Monique leave as well
"what I don't get orders"
she smirk "shut up...that's your...order" Will scoff "aren't you suppose...to be gone...in order to be...back in time tomorrow?"
he gulp "you're right, let Dr. Director know why I'm gone" he run out the room and to the gate.
Kim and Ron laugh as they reminisce about their past together until a knock on the door disturb them, Kim open it to Monique "Kim, Sanai wants you to come in her room"
Kim mentally kick herself "uh...no I don't think so, sorry"
"come on I know Sanai can be a real bitch at times, but for your sake I think you should go see what she wants"
"I know what she wants and in some strange way I can't and won't go back in there, sorry"
Monique study her for a minute and come to a conclusion "you found out something and now you're scared that if you go in there it'll be true right?"
Kim gasp inaudibly and look her in the eyes then narrow her own "I didn't find anything and I won't go back in there ever" she close the door "I hate when people try to read me" she murmur at the door
"so you did find something?" Ron stare at her back quizzically wondering if she'll tell him what is bothering her
it takes Kim a minute or two to answer, she take a cleansing breathe and turn to face her best friend "no, there's nothing to find out about myself that I don't already know Ron" she state with some venom in her voice
Ron wave his hands in front of him "okay KP, but if you want to talk about it I'm here for you, you know that right?"
her shoulders slump "I know" she smile at him "thanks"
he smile back "anytime Kim."
"Almost there Sanai" the green woman grip the sheets, shaking and sweating in pain as the last of the soiled bandages is delicately pulled off
"shit...I'll be...glad when...that bubble gets...here"
Ann smile "I will too, that way I won't have to worry as much about infections..." she grab the bowl of newly made warm water "I'll also be glad when you stop trying to talk to Kim..." she glare at her patient "you hear me?"
Shego look up at the redhead in pain and horror "y-yes m-ma'am"
Ann smile kindly again "good besides..." she start flushing the wounds " your body isn't well enough to handle to stress of removing that seal, plus..." Shego bite her bottom lip suppressing a whimper, although she's somewhat use to the pain after every five hours of cleaning and changing her eternal, non-fading tattoo in the last twenty hours "you can't even use Xing's power now that they've forbidden it"
Shego grip the sheets tighter "I-I...I know...I just..."
"I know Sanai, we know very well why you would want to remove it and trust me everyone is worried, but until you're well and able to move on your own, we'll just have to watch her hoping They don't take her" a green hand grab her wrist, she look up to intense, but pained emerald eyes
"h-how is my...Dad?"
Ann sigh and retract her hand "like I said don't try to talk to Ki-"
Shego grab her wrist again "tell me..." she gulp hard "tell me"
Ann look behind her to Betty, who turn to the door pulling on her eye patch, she sigh again "Sanai let's just take care of you first then we can worry about your fa-"
"no!" she sit up and lean close to the older redhead "tell me Ann...is he...is he okay?" she narrow her eyes a couple of times to focus on Ann better
said woman look her in her reddening eyes "Sanai please...let me finish with this...then I'll tell you"
Shego glare into her blue orbs "okay...I'm holding...you to it" she ease back on her back and Ann goes back flushing her wounds until a loud gasp is heard from the doorway all eyes turn to the door to see Monique staring at Shego, who smile at her weakly "Mo...it's al...alright...I'm fine honest" the dark-skinned female continue staring and faint Betty pick her up and lay her on the sofa, Shego sigh and lay her head back "if it...ain't one thing...it's a goddamn...'nother"
"Sanai I need you to turn on your side" Shego groan and manage to get on her side without much noise this time, but when the water hit her wounds she stifle a whimper and her back stiffen then relax when she feel the salve being rubbed on it "okay you can return to your back for now" Ann wait until her patient's comfortable and start applying more salve to the rest of the wound, once that's done she grab the cling wrap and create an improvised barrier between the wound and the bandages, then she grab the bandages and wrap Shego up "finally done when the clean room gets here, we'll be doing this a lot less since those serums Elizabeth has for you will speed up the healing and ease your pain"
Shego groan "I hate Anti9E...I always...feel like...ugh, each time after...and CXS3...speed up my...metabolism and...cause me to...eat a lot" she groan again "I hate it"
Betty and Ann shake their heads "it's to help you, stop being a big baby and be thankful"
tired emerald eyes look up to one onyx eye "yeah your nerd-hacks did something right for once, but they could've did better with the aftereffect parts"
Betty sigh "it was a rushed job and your comet powers made it difficult to even get it's end result where it is now"
Shego grimace and sigh too, while trying to keep her body from passing out "tell me Ann...what is going on...with my Dad?"
Ann look at her lap "Sanai can we hold off on this, you need sleep and frankly I do too"
Shego shake her head slowly "tell me"
Ann look to Betty for help again and she once again look away, but with no pulling of her eye patch this time, she look at Shego and discover her asleep with a relieved sigh she get up and walk to the door "why didn't you tell her?"
"because there's nothing she can do and even if she could her body is just as weak as his..." she sigh heavily "I'll let her know when she's better...if he's still alive" she leave on that note
Betty look to her only and best friend then rub her forehead "she's going to drive me to drink."
"Dude, that's so cool" Tim and Jim exclaim in stereo, while watching the match head twins split themselves into multiples, along with the other Goshin kids, in the gym for six on six volleyball "you know if Dad saw this..."
"he'd think you guys..."
"are circus folks" the other twins give them a weird look "he's a bit..."
"too sciency..."
"and old"
"true that" all eyes turn to the gym's entrance to see Ron and Kim smiling at them "hey tweebs"
Jim and Tim run over to their sister "Kim, we heard..."
"you joined GJ then..."
"turn out to be..."
"a princess, nice pull-up..."
"in the social ladder..."
"yeah from metalface..."
"to royalty"
Kim growl "tweebs!" they gulp and run off "get back here so I can rip you a new one!" she chase them around the gym
Ron for his part walk over to the Goshin siblings and stick out his hand with his signature grin "hi I'm Ron, KP's BFF" two of the five stare at him in disgust, but he just brush it off especially when one of the other three grab his hand
"hey Ron, Mego, but you can call me Mato" he smile back then yelp as a pair of hands pull him away from the blond
"VioletFlare what are you doing that's a human"
Mego look at Nikiti and Channing in confusion "and so?"
"so...they're dangerous and traitors" Nikiti accuse
"yeah remember the stories Dad use to tell us?" Channing question hiding behind the dark-haired male "you can't trust them"
Mego smile reassuringly "guys it's cool, I've spent time with them, remember I as once a hero for them, they aren't that bad, sure they stretch the truth of our kind, but this generation is nothing like their ancestors" the brother and sister share a look, then look over at Ron as he communicates with their twin brothers
"so how many can you split into?"
"billions!" they stereo
"cool, how did you get the power to do that...is it some wolf thing?" he ask unsure about this thing and if it might be one of those not knowing things
"a rainbow comet..."
"that fell out the sky..."
"and crashed into our..."
"treehouse, Shego got hit with..."
"most of it"
Ron cringe "ouch"
suddenly two twin teens rush by "'cuse us"
"coming through"
"tweebs take your beatings like men!" Kim pounce on Ron and use him like a springboard to close the gap "sorry Ron"
the blond man groan in a daze "no prob KP" he fall on his back
the Wegos stand over him "hmmm sure is weak for a human" Wes comment to his brother then smirk deviously "should we?"
Wei give him the same expression "I think we should just to help him out"
a purple hand fall on each of their heads "and just what are you two fixing to do to him?"
they smile at their purple hued brother "just modify him a bit..."
"that way he won't be so weak"
Mego sigh "no experimenting on the human besides..." he jab a thumb in the direction of the three Possible siblings "you want to end up like them?" Kim is sitting on her twin brother's back and contorting them in impossible angles, the match heads grimace "didn't think so"
Kim walk over to the rest of the group "sorry you guys had to see that...you know sibling rivalry and all" she rub the back of her head
"nah, it was fun to watch"
"easy for you to say..."
"you weren't the half-ling prezels" Jim groan "I think something was pulled"
"that's not a good thing either"
Kim chuckle "that's what you get for bringing up that humiliating memory"
the twins brush her off "not our fault..."
"you grew up socially awkweird"
Kim glare at them "I so did not grow up socially awkweird tweebs...take it back!"
Jim and Tim taunt her "bring it on..."
"we've learned a few..."
"tricks while you where away"
Kim get into her stance "alright we'll see" she attack first.
