Ch.21 We Meet Again
"Hey, Hey Lex. Wake up." Jacob said as he called out to Lex.
Lex shifted in her sleep. "Just five more minutes." She yawned.
"As much as I would love to watch you sleep, we have to get moving again." Jacob said.
Lex opened her eyes and sat up to see that Jacob was already dressed and ready to go. She sighed. "Jacob I'm tired of running. Blackfire is going to find us sooner or later." Lex said.
"Well for your sake I hope it's much later than sooner." Jacob said as he looked peered out of the blinds to make sure the coast was clear. He knew that Black Star would be coming for him, if not for the vial of Shego's blood, but the information he has on them.
"Look get dressed, I'll get the car started." He said.
"Can I at least take a shower? I haven't showered in two days." Lex whined.
Jacob peered through the blinds again, before looking back to Lex. "Sure, go ahead."
Lex smiled and went to take her a shower, while she did Jacob turned on the T.V.
"In other News the Justice League has placed teen hero Kim Possible and the former international criminal Shego under strict watch. Having suffered injuries in what they claim to be a fifth attempt on their lives from a super criminal organization. Superman had this to say." The newsman reported and the screen shifted to a live press conference in Metropolis with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
Superman stood at the podium and began to speak. "This criminal organization known as Black Star has proven to be a serious threat. If you all can recall they engaged Storm of the X-men earlier this month and she was placed in the hospital after receiving life threatening injuries. Now two and a half weeks later she is just being released from the hospital after stabilizing her condition. They also claimed the lives Wonder Girl and Donna Troy, attacked Avengers Mansion and attacked Area 51." Superman said. "It's unclear what their true motive is, but it is clear that they want to be taken seriously, and We of the Justice League are doing just that." He said.
"Superman." A reporter called out as others took various pictures and jotted down on their notepads. "You mentioned that Kim and Shego have been placed under JLA supervision. Why would you protect a former criminal?" The reporter asked.
"I can answer that." A feminine voice said as the doors behind them opened.
They turned to see Kim and Shego walk in and step up to the podium. "I don't expect for you all to trust me. Hell I don't really care if you do or don't because I have the trust of friends and family." Shego said.
A female reporter stood as others rapidly began taking pictures of Kim and Shego standing together. "Are you saying that you have officially given up a life of crime?" The reporter asked.
"Let it be officially known that I Sherron Go have officially turned over a new leaf." She replied.
"Would your current situation with Black star be the reason for changing sides?" A female reporter asked.
"No. You all have Kimmie here to thank for that." Shego answered.
"What happened between you two for you to change sides?"
Shego sighed. "A year ago, I did something terrible. Something so unforgiveable that it still haunts my memories, and gives me nightmares every time I go to sleep." Shego said. "When I was doing it, I was not thinking about the consequences it would have on my future. However those consequences became painfully clear when not only my parents died, but Kim's mother as well."
"Shego." Kim spoke up, but was interrupted by Shego.
"No matter what you say, no matter how many times I apologize, and no matter how many times you forgive me for it, and say it was not my fault, it was. Just because no one had no clue at the time, doesn't mean it's still not my fault." Shego corrected her.
"Are you talking about the event that took place in Middleton a year ago?" The female reporter asked.
"Yes. I hold myself responsible for the events of that day." Shego said.
However before they could ask any more questions, Batman intervened announcing that the conference was at an end, and that the Justice League would be working alongside the Avengers to combat Black Star. The five heroes walked off as the reporters took more pictures of Kim and Shego walking hand in hand.
Jacob turned off the t.v., he knew now that Black Star could no longer go after Kim or Shego, not without Mystique's help and Blackfire had killed her. He got up and walked outside to the vending machine and got a can of Hawaiian Punch. He opened the can and was about to drink when he had an idea. He smiled and went back to the motel room. He walked in the bathroom to see that Lex was still showering and turned on the faucet as he poured the vial of blood down the drain. He rinsed out the vial and refilled it with the Hawaiian Punch.
"Hey Jacob, I was thinking. Why don't we get Kim Possible and Shego to help?" She asked from inside the shower.
"They can't help us. They already have too much on their hands, besides I done too many horrible things to them to ask for their help. How do you even know about them?" He asked.
"Oh! Uh? Well Kim is a hero after all, and Shego is all Blackfire ever talked about." Lex answered.
Jacob accepted the answer. "Well start getting dressed, I'm going out to start the car." He told her.
Five minutes later
Lex had finished getting dressed and had packed her bag of things and was ready to leave. She looked out the window to see Jacob loading the guns back into his trunk. She sighed. "I have to get him to go to Kim and Shego, before they catch us." She said to herself.
She looked across the street towards the abandon factory and noticed that someone was standing on the roof. More importantly that someone had a sniper rifle. She quickly ran outside to warn Jacob.
"Jacob! Get Down!" She yelled.
He looked up to see the frantic look on her face. "Get Down Damnit!" She said. He ducked as a bullet impacted the trunk. He quickly grabbed an M-4 and took cover behind the car. Lex joined him as she took cover as well.
"Did they find us already?" He asked. He aimed and fired at the rooftop, causing the sniper to duck. Using that as his opportunity Jacob sprinted towards the abandoned factory and into the building. He walked in cautiously, it was dark and he could hardly see a thing, the only light that entered the building came from the cracks on the boarded windows.
He walked around slowly, making sure to cover his blindspots. He quickly aimed his gun to the right when he heard some chains rattling, he looked up and saw several old rusted chains swinging back and forth, but not whoever caused the chains to move. He slowly walked up the stairs, listening for any sound of the sniper. He was on the second floor and walked over to where the chains were and inspected the area.
"Nothing." He said to himself.
Suddenly someone appeared from the shadows behind him and wrapped a rusted chain tightly around his neck. Jacob began to struggle as his attacker pulled tighter on the metal noose. Jacob used his strength and slammed himself and his attacker on to the wall. He could feel the chains loosen as the attacker lost his grip. Jacob removed the chains and spun around to attack, but the man was faster and dodged his attack. He punched Jacob in the jaw, but before he could attack again Jacob kicked the man in his abdomen and went to pick his gun and fired it just as the man took cover behind some oil drums.
Jacob ran up the stairs to gain higher ground as he reloaded his clip. He dropped down to the ground as a bullet struck the railing just missing him. He quickly got up and hid behind a pillar. He peered out and quickly hid again as another bullet struck the wall. Jacob returned fire as the man moved up the stairs as well. Jacob climbed further up to the top as they both traded fire, one missing the other. Jacob reached the door and went through it, quickly closing it behind him.
It wasn't long before his pursuer reached the top level and emerged on the roof top as well. He searched around for Jacob but saw no sign of him. He walked over towards the ledge checking his blindspots as he did so. The man went to his bag and changed clips just as Jacob appeared out of nowhere and placed the gun to his head.
"Don't move." He said.
"Bravo, you've done well kid." The man said.
"Kid?" Jacob repeated as recognized the voice. The man quickly swept Jacob off his feet and grabbed his gun. Jacob was already back on his feet and tackled the man to the ground. Several gunshots went off as the tussled back and forth, punching each other. The man kicked Jacob off and they both quickly stood up and pointed their guns to each other and pulled the trigger. However both of their guns were empty and Jacob was able to get a good look at the man, and recognized him when he saw the skull on his shirt.
"Frank?" Jacob said. "What are you doing here?"
"My job." Frank responded as he pulled out a ballistic knife. He rushed Jacob and tried to stab him, but Jacob dodged to the side and landed a right hook to Frank's jaw. Frank stumbled back a little, but came back after Jacob this time landing a quick blow to his gut and then knocking him to the ground. He kicked Jacob watching him roll several feet away. He tightened his grip on the blade as he went to finish the job.
"You were a good kid, always talking 'bout how you wanted to make a difference. Is this what you meant?" Frank asked him. "Or have you forgotten what it meant to be a SEAL?" He asked as he raised the knife.
Jacob rolled out of the way avoiding the knife and grabbed a pipe and hit Frank in his leg. "No I haven't forgotten but there is a lot more at stake here. I'm fighting for a chance to get my fiancée back."
"So you stoop so low as to work for a criminal organization. You must have fallen on hard times Kid." Frank said.
"Surely you can understand, after all you lost your family as well." Jacob said.
"Difference is I'm not working for the people responsible for killing my family." Frank said as he stood up. "Whatever you're trying to do has pissed a certain someone off, and that's why I'm here."
"Let me guess that certain someone must be Kim. I can't imagine Shego having someone else fight for her." He said.
Frank chuckled, which let Jacob know he was correct in his assumption.
"Still good or bad, wrong is wrong, and I gotta do, what I gotta do." Frank said as he pulled out another pistol.
Jacob mentally cursed himself as he dropped the pipe in his hand.
"I'd put that gun down if I was you. I still need him." A feminine voice said. Both men looked up as Morrigan descended from the sky with Lex in her grasp.
"LEX!" He called out.
"Put the gun down." She said in her Scottish accent.
"Who the hell are you?" Frank asked.
"She's from Black Star and the woman she's holding is my fiancée." Jacob explained. "Just do as she says, she's only after me."
Frank put his gun away, as Morrigan landed on the ground. "You're after this right?" Jacob asked as he pulled out the vial.
Morrigan smiled. "Be a good boy and hand that over to me and I wont kill her."
Jacob nodded and slowly kneeled down and rolled the vial over to the succubus. She picked it up and tucked it safely in her cleavage. "Much appreciated."
"Now let Lex go." He demanded.
"Are you sure you still want her back?" Morrigan asked with smirk.
However before Jacob could answer Morrigan unleashed a swarm of bats onto Lex and they began to bite her and drain her of her energy. When the swarm was done, a blue skinned woman with red hair was in her place.
"Mystique?" He said with a shocked tone.
"Now if you want the real Lex, I want you to listen, and listen good." Morrigan said.
Once again this is where we call it quits for today, but I hoped you enjoyed the chapter and yes Mystique is still alive. How? You ask, well you're gonna have to read the next chapter to find out. Enjoy your day and don't forget to leave a comment with your thoughts.
