Author's Note: Guess what guys! I'm back! That's right! I got another chapter for you all, and I'm content with it :) It made me happy to have this stuff getting sorted out. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy, and I'm sorry for being a buttmunch and not posting enough!

A knock on the door pulled the redhead from her sleep. She rubbed at her eyes and groaned when she saw a GJ agent enter. She was fed up with them. It was six in the morning. They could at least try to be a little considerate of the time.

The agent stopped two feet from the bed and stood up straight. "I just wanted to inform you that Shego has been taken into custody and that you are safe. She won't be coming to bother you anymore." He then turned and left, not waiting to see what Kim's reaction would be. He figured she'd be overjoyed. One of her enemies was just apprehended, she should feel safer already.

The redhead's jaw dropped and immediately she grew angry. What was Shego thinking?! Turning herself in?! That's like a one way ticket to prison for life!

She picked up her Kimmunicator and called Wade.

"What's up Kim?"

"Find out everything you can about why Shego turned herself in. What the hell is going on?"

The door to her room creaked open and Ron said with a hesitant voice, "I can probably get you up to speed. And she didn't really turn herself in… more like she went to make a proposition with them."

"So… what you're saying is that to wipe away your criminal record you will not only resign from your position with Drakken and give up all his secret lairs, but you'll also come work for us?" Doctor Director asked with a straight face. She leaned back against her chair and looked at the green skinned woman before her. "Why on earth would you ever want that? You've always taken pride in being evil."

Shego shrugged, "There are some things that I find more important than being evil. Being evil was a way to make some cash and have a little fun. Some things can outweigh that."

Betty cocked an eyebrow. "Like what? This is the first I've heard of you finding something more important than yourself and your joy for doing wrong."

Sighing the villain said, "Would you believe me if I said it had to do with me liking someone?"

"Depends on who this someone might be and why not being a villain is such a big deal."

Groaning Shego replied, "Oh come on, Betty. You know me. You've had it in my profile for the past five years that you think I'm infatuated with the one and only Kim Possible. I've looked at your files. You're the only one who ever believed that and all your subordinates thought it was crazy, but you've always been right."

"I do believe it, still do. What you're trying to tell me is that I'm correct, yes?"

"Yes."

"So you want me to pardon you so that you can openly flirt with Miss Possible?" she asked dryly.

Shego slammed her head onto the desk in front of her. "No. Oh my god, no. Look, I already openly flirt with her. Why would I need you to pardon me for that? I want to be able to do more than flirt… I want to be friends with her."

"Friends? Really? You? Shego? You want to be friends with Kim Possible?"

"No shit. Betty, I don't want to drag her down because I'm evil. I want to be friends with her, and if there's a chance she wants to be friends with me, I'd be screwing everything up if I didn't put in the effort to make sure she doesn't get pulled into hell with me. If I'm evil and we become friends, that'll be horrible for her. I wouldn't get any repercussions. She'd have so much shit to deal with, and I don't want that for her."

Doctor Director sighed, "Shego… How am I supposed to convince my men? Do you truly think any will want to work with you?"

Rolling her eyes the green skinned woman responded, "Convince? You're their fucking boss. What you say is law. They can deal with it."

"And how do you expect me to get the different countries to pardon you for your crimes?"

"I don't know; tell them that you'll assign me a parole agent to work with on my missions or whatever."

"You're really willing to give up that sort of freedom for Miss Possible?"

Shego looked Betty in the eyes. "Does it look like I'm kidding?"

"No." Betty opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted when the doors suddenly opened with none other than Kim Possible standing on the other side of them, looking none too happy.

Shego groaned, "Kimmie, what are you doing here?"

"I came to question whether you've gone insane!" Kim hissed, walking up to her.

"Insane? Of course not. I'm quite pleased to say I'm in my right mind."

"But you always gloated about being evil and how you love it! It's not like you to give it up!"

"Look Kimmie, we'll talk later, just, you need to go back to the hospital. You're wounds aren't healed." Shego got up and moved towards her, trying to support the slightly wobbling redhead.

Kim tried to push her away, but she was too weak to do so. "No, we'll talk now. You're not getting out of this conversation."

"We'll talk later. You're injured. You need to be in the hospital… How the hell did you get here anyway?" She asked in exasperation.

"Wade got me a ride."

"Well tell him to get you a ride back to the hospital!"

"No!"

Shego took a few deep breaths to calm herself before she suddenly hefted Kim up into the princess hold. "Betty, I'll be right back after I return this one to her room. Would you please post guards to make sure that she actually stays there?" The two older women stared at each other for a moment, Shego reassuring Betty that she'd actually return after.

The brunette nodded, "I'll send them right over."

Shego sighed in relief, "Thanks." Then she turned to Kim. "Now then, you and I are going to have a little talk on the way back to the hospital."

"During that talk you better tell me why you're doing something so stupid," Kim said in a huff.

As they walked farther down the hall their conversation trailed off and Betty couldn't help but smile slightly when she heard Shego say with a groan, "Are you kidding me? I already told you why I'd do something so stupid. I LIKE you, remember?"

"That doesn't mean you just do something like this without consulting me!"

"It means exactly that!"

"Put me down. You're annoying me. I don't want you touching me right now."

Shego snorted, "Yeah, like I'll put the cripple down and let her walk on her own. Just shut up and let me take you to the stupid car and back to the hospital!"

"I will not shut up! You're being stupid."

"No, you're being stupid!"

They bickered the entire way back, but Kim got the gist of what was going on through the bits and pieces Shego would say through their fighting. Once Kim was in bed and the GJ agents came to watch over her, Shego went back to Betty to continue their conversation and finalize an agreement.

By the end of the day, Shego was to be pardoned, and she was going to start her work as a GJ agent in one week's time. She was a free woman, and now she could sleep peacefully knowing that Kim wouldn't be dragged down if the two became friends.

A/N: What'd you all think? Did you like the bickering between Kim and Shego? I'm starting to work on their relationship now and i'm just pleased with myself :) I can't wait to make them fall in luuuurv ;D Anyways, let me know what you all think :)
