Chapter Seventeen: Rock and Hard place

Kim sat in her cell waiting for Shego to regain consciousness. The odd doctor she'd met in the infirmary gave her a giant tennis ball. The cell was quite large in compression to the one Shego would be getting. Apparently the girl didn't do well in either large or small spaces so they tried to accommodate for that.

Kim thought it was funny how much Global Justice went out of their way just to try and make Shego comfortable. She completely understood where they were coming from. A comfortable Shego was a less bothersome Shego.

The young red head tossed the large ball at the opposite wall and repeated the motion once it returned to her hand. She was grateful for the small toy. By this point and time she probably would have been bored out of her mind regardless of all the things she had to think about. Her mother was apparently around here someone, along with Shego's.

The older redhead was probably worried out of her mind. Kim had never been on this side of the law before. She could hear her mother inside her mind blaming Shego for Kim's misfortune. Kim sure hoped that wasn't the case. Shego didn't drag her into any of this. It wasn't the raven haired girl's fault that Drakken had a thing for mind control. It actually seemed like it was the one diabolical thing he was good at. It was just more of inconvenience when it landed her in a jail cell.

She heard footsteps outside of her cell door. It was probably the guards changing. This was amusing for her. Shego probably knew all these things. What time the shift change was at regardless of whether or not she was awake or asleep. There were no window's to let Kim know how much time had gone by and that bothered her. She felt like she wasn't getting any fresh air. She could see how Shego could easily become cluster phobic in here. She supposed that was another reason the cell designed to hold Shego included air conditioning and what not. Someone obviously trusted her not to destroy a thermostat and try to kill someone with it.

Kim wondered how many times Shego had broken out of these cells.

More footsteps outside caught her attention. She heard the beeping from the keypad outside. She stopped her tossing and waited patiently as Director came into the cell. She took a seat across from her.

"Shego's awake," Betty informed her. "She allowed us to do some very general looking around but we couldn't find anything. We were hoping you would give us a more in-depth peek."

"You won't find anything in us, it's the catsuit." Kim told her. "Drakken used enough tranquilizers to put out a bear and when I woke up I was in that funny catsuit."

"What happened the next time you saw Drakken?" Director asked.

"He said something but I can't remember what it was." Kim said. "After that everything is blank."

Doctor Director sat there silently and after a few moments she nodded.

"Do you have any clue where your friends are being held?" Director asked.

"No but I've got a pretty good idea how to find out."

Doctor Drakken paced around his lair. It had been some time since he'd sent Shego and her new pet off. The dark skinned girl and the architect were still refusing to do his bidding. Now they sat in the room watching television and being catered too.

The scientist groaned. This wasn't fair. Out of all the things he'd tried that one to actually work still had some kinks in it. He should have taken into account that Kim Possible's best friend would have a big mouth.

Drakken heard light foot steps behind him and turned around quickly. Shego stood behind him, and behind her was her red headed sidekick.

Shego held out her hand and dropped a small vial of metal liquid into Drakken's.

"Good Girl, Shego." Drakken praised. "You've pleased me greatly."

"Forgive me Master," Shego replied.

"Forgive you?" Doctor Drakken asked. "For what? You've done a very good job."

"For my betrayal," Shego looked at the ground as Global Justice agents surrounded them.

Drakken looked back and forth between Shego and the Global Justice officials. He could barely believe his eyes. How had Shego made the decision to betray him while under mind control? He took in the state of the dark haired woman. She was still under his control.

"Shego, get rid of them!" Drakken ordered as he made a run for it.

"As you wish it," Shego turned on the Global justice agents but Kim was on the raven haired girl quickly engaging her in battle. Apparently Kim's battle suits mind control design wasn't as intricate as Shego's. Kim's uniform's control over her ceased once the catsuit was removed and did not recover once it was put back on. Shego's on the other hand had to be deactivated. The moment she had put the suit back on Drakken's control over her ensued.

Kim had to be careful. Shego was lethal without control over her body. The older girls movements were smooth and Kim wasn't have much trouble keeping up. One things this mind control lacked was spontaneity. Shego's moves were predictable, her fighting style was simple. Worst of all there was no taunting which meant neither of them were getting any enjoyment from this meeting. Kim dodged quickly and took the opening she found to go on the offensive. Shego must have been enjoying defending herself more. She was gaining speed and not taking any action to make possible holes in Kim's offense.

"Shego!" Doctor Drakken called. "Finish her and come help me."

"Yes Master," Any traces of emotion drained from Shego as she became eager to finish her fight. Kim grinned she had learned a thing or two over the years she'd known Shego. The redhead's defense went up as Shego roughly punched her, placing all her power behind her fists. Kim wasn't sure how long Shego's endurance would keep her pumped for.

Kim threw out a mid level kick to push the raven haired villain backward. Kim bolted away from the main action. The redhead knew how much Shego enjoyed chasing her down. Getting her out of here shot of Drakken's commands would also do wonders for her. Shego caught the hood of her cat suit and snagged her backwards.

Kim allowed the force of her body to crash back against Shego. The two toppled over and Kim struggled to get free. She turned toward Shego but the brunette's grip on her catsuit made the cloth tighten around her airway. Kim forced her knee into Shego's chest; the villain seemed unfazed by this move even as Kim felt the cracking of ribs underneath the pressure. The older girl's firm grasp on the cloth around her neck was causing her to be unnerved slightly. Shego's left hand reached out and Kim tried to unzip her cat suit. The redhead couldn't work fast enough before she felt Shego's hand around her neck.

Shego grunted as Kim struggled. All she wanted to do was get her to stop moving. That was all her master wanted. Her master wanted for her to be done with Kim Possible and there was only one logical way to be rid of the girl forever. All she had to do was get the young redhead to stop breathing.

"Shego," Kim gasped. "Please…"

The raven haired girl didn't respond. She watched the tears form in Kim's eyes. The redheaded female's struggling was declining.

"Come on!" Shego grunted. There was something deep inside her that wanted the girl to fight back. It was clawing away at her inside her head, the voice was giving her orders greatly conflicting those of her master.

Kim sank her knee harder into Shego's chest. The girl gurgled slightly. Kim could do nothing but stare at the female whom had been her long time martial arts rival. Blood spilled from the raven haired girls mouth her grip on Kim went lax. The redhead removed herself from Shego's reach. Grasping her neck and rubbing it as she sucked in precious air. Shego rolled over onto her side clutching her upper torso.

"Help!" Kim tried to scream. The sound came out strangled.

The redhead hero ignored her pain and removed herself from the floor. She was determined to get back to the main sector and retrieve help for her dying girlfriend. The doors to the central command sector opened and Kim staggered inside.

Global Justice Officials were at her side in seconds. She led them to the barely conscious girl, even as Shego lay dying the mind control device held her captive. She weakly fought the guards who were trying to help save her life. They got her strapped down, moving quickly as they tried to stabilize the young villain.

Things were a blur. Doctors stood in her way blocking her view of Shego. They were attempting to check her out even though the redhead insisted she was fine. He voice and awkward breathing told the doctors otherwise.

Kim felt a needle suddenly stab her in the neck and before she could respond the girl lost consciousness.

"Her broken ribs have punctured her lungs," Kim over heard one of the doctors talking quietly to someone else. Kim was having a hard time opening her eyes. The talking in the background ceased and Kim felt someone's hand over her own.

"Just try and relax," She heard the soft voice of Betty Director tell her.

Kim was confused. Her neck was sore but she was pretty sure she wasn't brandishing punctured lungs. Her mind cleared and she remembered her last images of Shego. The young woman curled into the fetal position. The last thing Kim wanted to do was relax. She needed to know if Shego was alright. Anxiety claimed her as she began to struggle. She couldn't see. There were people holding her down. They were lying to her telling, her that everything was going to be alright. She wanted them to get away from her. She needed to get out of this bed.

Kim heard the beeping of the machine's monitoring her go bizzerk. The rational Kim knew that the feeling she was experiencing weren't her own.

"I think she's having an allergic reaction," The last voice she heard was the voice of the doctor who'd been carrying to them.
