Chapter 10: Brace yourself

"Can we just talk about this?" Shego asked as she followed Kim around the room. Kim furiously threw clothing into a bag.

"There is nothing to talk about. I've made up my mind, I'm not about to sit back and while Ron is out there probably hurt or worse. I'm not letting you talk me out of this."

Shego rubbed her temples. "You can't just walk out of here; you'd be a sitting duck. I can't have you walking into a death trap."

Kim stopped and turned to Shego. "Aw how sweet, you love me enough not to let me die."

"I didn't say that, you can't prove that. I simply don't want you dead. If anyone is going to kill you it's going to be me that's all." Shego said staring intently at the floor.

"You've been saying that since I was sixteen. Either do it or say you love me and you don't want to go like a normal person would."

Shego pursed her lips. "First. One word…green. No such thing as normal for me. Second, I'll kill you when I'm damn well good and ready. If you haven't noticed, I rule the world. Which is not easy, hence the reason I have you. But the whole point is ruined if you go out and get yourself killed, looking for your friend."

Kim smiled. "See now was that so hard to say?"

Shego threw her hands up in the air. "There is no getting through to you. You know what fine. You go out and get that fool." Kim nodded. "But there is no way I'm letting you go out looking like that."

Bonnie stood nervously in a room waiting what was to come. She found it hard to breathe the bag over her head. Which made her sure she had been discovered. It was only a matter of time before they tried to get information out of her. She felt her stomach turn at the sound of a door opening behind her.

"You must be Bonnie." A woman's voice. A chair scratched in front of her. "I apologize for the bag. We get a little over zealous with special interest cases."

Bonnie tensed. "Special interest?"

"Yes, see I've gathered some information on your past. It seems you have a very close history with Kim Possible." Bonnie felt the blood drain from her face. "But then so did I, before all this. Back when she was just a hero, not a tyrant."

Papers shuffled and Bonnie swallowed the lump in her throat. "I don't see why you wanted to see me. I mean back we were just cheerleaders. She and I didn't even get along."

A small chuckle mingled in with the rustle of papers. "No I believe you know more about her than you think."

Bonnie cringed. This is it. She thought. I'm going to die. I didn't even want to do this mission. "Why do you say that?"

She felt the bag slip off her head. When her eyes adjusted to the light she saw a one eyed woman staring back at her. "Because you have been serving her for years."

Shego steadied the plan and turned to Kim. "You better get ready; we'll be over Moscow in two minutes." Kim got out of her seat and walked to the back of the plan.

Shego set the auto pilot and opened the door. "You're going to land in the outskirts of the city. You'll meet our operative and he'll take you to the plant. From there you'll be on your own." Kim stood in the doorway.

"Remember, any sign of trouble you get the hell out of there and go to the rendezvous point. I'll get you from there."

Kim smiled and leapt out of the plan. Shego ignored the all too human chill run down her spine as she shut the door and turned the plan around.
