Chapter 4: The queen's return
It was finally time Shego was finally strong enough. Kim could barely contain her excitement. She sat happily on her bed watching Shego pace the room searching the floor for nothing in particular. "Shego sit down your making me dizzy." Shego sat down next to Kim fidgeting with her hair. A nervous tick she had developed after taking over the world.
"Kimmie I'm not so sure about this, maybe I'm not back to normal. My neck still hurts a bit."
Kim dismissed her excuses and stood up. "You're fine, and I swear you mess with your hair one more time and I'm ripping your hands off."
Shego dropped her hands. "You wouldn't dare."
"Watch me…now we're going out there and I'm announcing your return. You are not too weak to rule you are just being ridiculous. Now hurry up we don't want to keep everyone waiting." Kim pulled Shego out of her seat and pulled her out of the room. All down the corridor Kim and Shego were ambushed by last minute details all the while fighting each other for dominance.
Ron stood outside of the conference room watching Kim and Shego wrestling down the corridor paying no attention to the people around them. Ron held back a fit of laughter as they made their way to the doors. "Would you two stop it? You rule the world, what are people going to think if they see you two wrestling around the corridor like this?" Kim and Shego slowly parted and straighten themselves out.
"I swear you two are like kids now are you ready or do we need to wait longer." Shego raised a brow in amusement. She glanced at Kim who seemed unaffected by the sudden tone Ron took with them. After a moment the doors opened and Ron nudged them into the room.
There was a sudden flash of light and a boom of gasps and muttering when Shego came into view. Shego leaned over to Kim. "When did you set this up?" She asked staring through the blinding flash of light. Kim smiled and stepped forward.
She looked over her shoulder back a Shego. "Oh I've been working on this for weeks." She turned back to the crowd of reporters. Everyone fell silent; Kim looked back a Shego with a smug grin before turning back.
"I've called you here today for two important announcements. My first announcement is for those who resist against the thrown. We live in a world united under one rule; if anyone should have a problem with it then they should turn to me with their complaint. Not resort to gorilla warfare and attack innocent people who have done nothing to harm you.
As for my next announcement, you may have noticed by now that Shego has returned. At this point…she will answer any questions you may have." Kim stepped aside, as Ron shoved Shego forward. Shego glared at Kim before turning to the sea of hand that had been thrown skyward.
She pointed to a random hand and a man stood up. "Supreme one. Where have you been in the past four years?"
"That information is classified." She pointed to another random hand.
"Supreme one. Now that your back, you will be taking the Empress' place on the throne?"
"The Empress and I have decided that power will be shared between us." She point to aimlessly.
"Why have you decided to share power?"
Shego rolled her eyes. "That information is between the Empress and I, any more questions on the matter and I'm tearing someone apart." A few hands dropped, Shego pointed again.
"What are your plans for the raising resistance?"
"We have not developed a plan but rest assured we will not let them get away with cheap gorilla war fare." A wave of hands shot into the air. "Okay I'm done looking at you now. Get back to work." Shego turned and walked out of the room with Kim close behind. Ron stayed behind to answer questions.
The moment Kim was in stride with Shego she was a near by wall. "You know damn well I hate talking to reporters. What the hell did I do to you?" Shego hissed. Kim only pushed Shego away and silently walked down the corridor. Shego followed close behind.
"You didn't do anything." Kim said tranquilly. Shego wanted to laugh at this remark, she hated talking to reporters. Even though she controlled what they said it still made her sick to have to talk to them. Kim stopped dead in her tracks turning to Shego with an odd look in her eyes.
"I would have spared you talking to them but, they to her it from you." She shook her head before continuing. "Shego, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and deal with the things you hate. Do you think I was on vacation while you stuck in time? I wasn't I was fixing Drakken's mess and making sure everything ran smoothly like we had planned. I was in hell. You have no idea what it was like." With that she turned and walked away.

That night Kim refused to speak with Shego. Shego sat on the railing of the balcony cursing herself for her mistake, staring at Kim who slept curled up on the bed. Shego knew better then to go anywhere near the girl now, she knew Kim wouldn't be angry for long but while she was she had to stay away so not to irritate her more.
"Oh this is just great, I'm ruler of the world and I can't even go to bed without pissing off my other half. Oh I'm a terrifying ruler now, scared to wake up a petite redhead. What a fan-fucking-tastic situation." Shego muttered to herself, she closed her eyes concentrating on every beat of her heart trying to dull her frustration.
Everything was perfectly quiet around her, even the wind stopped blowing. Shego knew this sign; her eyes shot open in time to see the flash of a second shadow under the moon light. A glint of light past the corner of her eye. Thinking quickly she reached back behind her taking hold of someone behind her and threw them over her shoulder.
The intruder flew across the balcony and into the stone wall. Shego took a moment to see the knife lying at her feet. Her anger flared as she stalked across the balcony toward the slim figure struggling to stand. She lifted the figure off their feet glaring hard at her would be assassin. "You picked the wrong day for this." Shego growled ripping off the figure's mask.
In her hands she held a slim young man who looked to be in his late twenties. His short black hair had become messy when she pulled off his mask. He glared back at her with cold dark eyes; Shego was unaffected and dropped him. She began her merciless attack of the intruder. She went into a series of punches and kicks often times waiting him to struggle to his feet and go into offense.
The fight moved around the balcony until it backed into the room. Shego glanced back at Kim still sleeping on the bed; she didn't want Kim to wake. "I guess I have to stop playing around." Shego said, throughout the fight she had been pulling punches and purposely missing to make the fight last.
Kim stirred in her sleep and Shego paused for a split second. The man took this chance to slip closer to Kim, at some point in the fight Shego had allowed him to take his weapon, the man now stood over Kim knife in hand. The two glared at each other, Shego shook her head the man smiled thinking he had the upper hand.
"If you wake her up I am not saving your ass." Shego hissed at the man. His smile widened as he the two kept a fixed stared on one another. Kim remained motionless, the man rested the knife hovered over Kim's neck. Shego sighed and shrugged. "Fine, don't listen."
On these last words Kim awoke and ceased the man's hand. A soft crack could be heard before the man dropped the knife with a pained look. Shego stood at the foot of the bed, her arms crossed, giving him a knowing look. Kim sat up fixing her gaze on the man who had woken her. He looked desperately at his now broken hand.
"I'm going to ask you some questions; if you cooperate I'll make sure she goes easy on you." Kim turned her tired gaze to Shego for a moment before starting her questioning. "What are you doing in our room?"
The man glared at her and scoffed. "I don't answer to dictators."
Kim sighed turning her head to Shego who ignited her hand. The man looked at her nervously. "I'm going to ask again. What are you doing in our room?"
"Do what you will." The man said defiantly. Shego took a seat next to Kim smiling.
"If I were you I'd answer the questions." Kim said watching the man stare at Shego's hand.
"I was sent here to kill the supreme one."
Shego laughed hysterically Kim shook her head and spoke over the sound. "That's a suicide mission. Do you know that?"
The man glared at Shego as she tried to subdue her laughter.
"Who sent you?" Kim demanded.
The man shook his head in defiance.
"You really want to make this difficult don't you?" Kim asked. She turned to Shego and titled her head toward the door. Shego sighed and stood, muttering to herself as she walked out of the room.
"You have one last chance before she comes back in with the guards and makes your life a living hell. Who sent you?"
The man turned away from her with disgust, Kim sighed twisting his wrist. He let out a pained whine. "I don't know okay? I'm just a hired assassin, I don't ask questions!"
Two guards entered the room and stood at the foot of the bed. Shego leaned in the door way with a scowl. Kim looked back at the man and released him. "Take him to the infirmary to get his wounds fixed and after take him in for questioning." The guards did as they were told and dragged the man out of the room. Shego remained in the door way.
"Well I can say this much. If the resistance is behind this one their new leader is smart enough not to send a member." Kim said rubbing her eyes.
