Chapter 6: The Plan
Kim left Monique's room in a daze, the information she had been given made her head spin. All she needed now was a plan of action and someone crazy enough to be a spy. Kim began to run back toward the throne room, she had to find Shego and tell her the news.
Kim broke through the doors to see Shego sitting bored on her throne staring down at one of the guards. He kneeled before her shaking slightly out of fear, Shego often found her amusement in terrifying the guards. Kim sighed as she made her way toward the thrones stopping at the guard's side and motioning for him to leave. He jumped up and quickly left the room.
"Are you here to apologize for leaving in the middle of a conversation?" Shego asked pointedly as she watched Kim climb the stairs.
"Don't ruin my good mood Shego. I'm here to tell you Monique is awake. She had some very valuable information for us." Kim said taking her seat next to Shego and sitting as smugly as possible to annoy Shego.
"Well what did she say?" Shego asked impatiently.
Kim stayed silent.
"Well?" Shego asked.
Kim shook her head. "Not until you admit you were wrong." She was going to ride this out until Shego gave her what she wanted.
"Ok fine! You were right we need information before we fight back. You were right, I was wrong. I was WRONG! I WAS WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Now would you just tell me what she said?" Shego shouted. This was embarrassing enough for her, ruler of the whole world and she's reduced to this embarrassing display in her own throne room. Kim was going to pay for this later.
"Thank you. Monique didn't know who the new leader is, but that's not important right now. She knows where they meet, and the locating of their underground headquarters. If we can get spy in there we can get all the information we need." Kim said proudly.
Shego nodded, she seemed lost in thought for a moment. "Who are we going to get for a suicide mission like that? They know our advisors and like hell I'm sending some random servant or guard." Shego said rubbing her temples. Kim looked out at the guards lined up against the wall.
"You." She pointed to the closed one. He fell out of line and made his way toward them stopping at the foot of the stairs.
"Go and find my Bonnie and bring her here." Kim demanded. The guard saluted and jogged out of the throne room. Shego looked at Kim.
"Bonnie? You're going to send Bonnie, of all the people in the palace you pick Bonnie. Why would you pick her? She is just a servant." "
"That's exactly why we need her. She is a servant no one knows her she can blend in easily. Besides we need someone we can trust."
"How do we know we can trust her? What has she done to earn our trust?"
Kim scoffed. "She has shown us nothing but loyalty, she even fought to protect the palace when the resistance broke through. We owe her our trust at the very least." Kim's defensive tone made Shego stand down.
"Alright." Shego said calmly.
The doors opened and the guard returned with Bonnie draped over his shoulder. She struggled in his grasp, demanding that he release her. Shego looked at Kim with an amused smile, Kim frowned and approached the guard as he made his way into the room.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Kim growled as she stopped the guard.
"Empress she would not come peacefully I had to…" He was silenced by her glare.
"I don't give a damn if she was trying to stab you on the way up here. You DO NOT degrade anyone like this unless I say so. Now put her down!" Kim yelled. The guard shivered slightly and set Bonnie down. Kim had learned early to dominate over the guards in such a way, even though they all towered over her they still sweated when she started yelling.
Bonnie dusted herself off with a look of disgust on her face. Kim glared at the guard who took this as a sign to leave before he was severely hurt. As he dashed off to his place against the wall Kim turned her attention to Bonnie.
"I'm sorry about him."
Bonnie straightened up and awaited her orders. Years of being a servant pushed her into this habit. Kim looked back at Shego before motioning for her to follow them.
"We need to talk to you…privately." Kim said leading Bonnie out of the throne room with Shego close behind.

Kim and Shego lead Bonnie to the court yard in hopes of gaining more privacy. When they arrived Shego ordered the guards to leave and waited for the yard to clear before speaking.
"We need a favor Bon-Bon." Shego said abruptly. Bonnie looked annoyed at Shego addressing her with this nickname. Kim stepped in.
"We need you to act as a spy for us. We need some information on the resistance. Know their weaknesses strengths plans…things like this." Kim said hopefully. Bonnie's expression softened from annoyance to complete disbelief.
"You're kidding right?" Bonnie asked after a long silence. Kim and Shego wore serious looks that did not falter.
"With all due respect, have you lost your mind? That is a suicide mission. I'm just a servant, what could I do?" Bonnie asked as she paced in the grass, she combed her fingers through her hair in wide eyed shock.
"We need someone who can blend in with them, and you can do that." Shego added as she watched Bonnie pace.
"If you need someone like that you can pick anyone in the palace. It's full of people who can blend in." Bonnie protested. Kim grabbed Bonnie by the shoulders and stopped her from pacing.
"We need someone we can trust." Kim said focusing on Bonnie's worried stare.
"What if they catch me?" Bonnie asked the fear of capture was very evident in her voice. Kim looked over at Shego for a moment before returning to Bonnie.
"You will be fine."
