Monique pulled out her cell and dialed a number. "You got the information?"
"Yeah. It's like you said. Shego."
"I knew it."
"Should I tell Kim?"
"No… I'll confront Shego about this."
"Are you sure that's a good idea? She had a really good defense up."
"Wade… I know she's Kim's nemesis and all, but I need to do this. Don't tell Kim alright? Just get me a ride."
"I-If you say so…" Wade typed a few things and said, "Your ride should be there in five minutes.
"You rock."
He smiled weakly. He didn't like going behind Kim's back, but this wasn't exactly save the world related.
Monique hopped into the plane and managed to make it to her destination, jumping out of the plane with her parachute. It was a good thing she'd taken lessons before. She just had a feeling that she might need it someday if she ever had to fill in for Ron. It'd happened before, and at the moment, she was glad she'd taken those lesson.
She landed softly on the grass outside an apartment complex. She headed up the steps and rang the doorbell.
"Holy fuck, Lauren, stop coming back!" Shego snarled. She was taken aback when she found a chocolate skinned woman before her. "Uh… who are you, and what the hell do you want?"
"I'm Monique."
There was silence for a moment and Shego let the girl in.
When the door closed, Shego asked suspiciously, "Ok… What do you want? I can already guess that nerdlinger tracked me. Does Kimmie know?"
"She has no clue. I told Wade not to tell her."
"I see." Shego walked over to her fridge and pulled out two drinks. "I'm guessing that if you're Princess's age you don't drink right?"
"I don't."
Shego slid a can of soda over to her and pulled out a beer for herself.
They took a seat on two different couches.
Shego was wearing a pair of black sweats and a green tank-top. She popped the cap off with a simple flick of her thumb, the cap landing in the trash can. "Bulls-eye," she smirked.
After taking a drink she asked, "So what's up?"
"What's your motive?"
"What do you mean?"
"You're always talking with Kim about her life online. Hell, if I didn't know better I'd say you're telling her the truth about your life as well, especially with how you exploded at the door thinking I was some girl named Lauren."
Shego chuckled and said, "Yeah. I am telling Kimmie the truth. My motive? I think you already have that figured out."
"You like her."
Shego said with a smirk, "Yep. I hope you didn't come here to tell me to back off. I already intend to tone it down a bit, seeing as how she's still all riled up and confused about the buffoon."
"So you do have a heart," Monique said with a smirk of her own.
Shego shrugged, "I never said I didn't. Sure in the past I used to go all 'I'm Evil' and shit like that, but that's getting boring."
"Boring?"
"Sure. I only work for Dr. D for the money. He pays well. Why else would I still work with him? The best part of the job, other than the money, is fighting with Princess, and if I wanted a fight all I had to do was show up on her doorstep and tease her a little," Shego said with a slight laugh.
Monique didn't know why, but she felt she could believe Shego. The villain before her was still acting like herself, but she wasn't teasing or beating around the bush. She was being completely serious. "So… what about Kim? What happens if the two of you do fall for each other? Do you quit being evil and go to the good side?"
Shego shrugged, "Yeah, why not? It's not like I actually care. My interests change. At one point I wanted to be a hero and was one with my brothers. Then I saw how the villains worked and thought it'd be fun to try it out, so I did. I started losing interest a while ago, and I think I plan to just travel the world a bit next. I do that a lot as a thief and such, but it never gives me time to actually take in my surroundings. I think it'd be fun to go traveling."
"You're seriously not kidding about that?" Monique asked, only slightly suspicious.
"I'm not," Shego said with a straight face. She looked the girl dead in the eyes and the chocolate skinned woman could see that she was serious.
"Alright, I believe you. I guess I'll head home now. If you really don't mean her harm I won't stop you from flirting with her, but please… don't make the whole Ron sitch hard on her."
"I got it."
Shego was walking Monique to the door when there was a knock.
"Shit…" Shego muttered. Then she turned to Monique and asked, "Care to be my new girlfriend?"
"What?" Monique hissed.
"Look. I've been trying to get rid of this bitch for ages and I told her I had a new girlfriend. She said she'd leave me alone if I introduced her. I hadn't found anyone I liked enough to work with, but I can actually stand you, so if you'd PLEASE."
Monique bit her lip and sighed, "Fine, but if you and my girl end up together, you damn well better take care of her."
With a slightly softer look, Shego said, "Of course." She then wrapped her arm around Monique's waist and opened the door.
On the other side of the door stood a curvy, blonde woman, who had flowers and chocolate.
Shego wanted to roll her eyes, burn the flowers, and stomp on the chocolates, but she refrained. "What is it Lauren?" she asked in a soft manner. It sort of surprised Monique that the villain could actually sound so caring.
"Who's this bitch?" Lauren snarled.
"Lauren, this is my girlfriend Monique," Shego said, giving slight introductions. "Mo, this is my ex, Lauren."
Monique held out her hand and smiled warmly, "Hi Lauren. How are you?"
Lauren looked at her hand and then back at the smiling woman, glaring hatefully.
Seeing as the blonde still wasn't buying it, Shego stepped aside slightly before Lauren forced her way in like she'd done so many times in the past.
With an inner groan Shego closed the door, entering what she was now going to consider hell on earth.
