"What on earth?" Shego cried, trying to keep herself from falling backward under the weight of two over zealous hugs.
"Wego?" She gasped, looking down at the identical, and very red, twins.
"Hey sis!" They replied in unison, grinning wildly up at her.
Shego glanced around, knowing her other, less favored siblings could not be far behind. She heard Hego before she spotted him.
"Shego!" A loud voice boomed just before Shego felt herself lifted off the ground with the force of a super strength powered hug.
"Hego." She growled menacingly. "Put me down."
Yori watched the scene as Hego complied, knowing full well the animosity that Shego held for her family.
A small, purple figure leapt from Hego's shoulder to land in front of Shego. As he fell, it began to grow. By the time he hit the ground, Mego was his regular size. He didn't move to hug range though. Partially out of curtesy, partially out of self preservation.
"Hey sis. It's good to see you, but probably not as good as it is to see me." He said offhandedly, flattening a stray lock of hair that had shifted during his grand entrance.
"Are you talking to me? I only ask because I don't see any mirrors around here." Shego smirked at her egocentric, purple brother.
Wego blushed a light violet. He rubbed the back of his neck, and chuckled lightly. Shego turned to her larger, blue sibling, planning to lay into him, but the look of absolute joy on his face deflated her spite.
"It's very good to see you again, Shego." He smiled, pulling her into another bone crushing hug.
"Hego," She gasped. "Need to breathe."
He loosened his grip, looking slightly mollified. Shego extracted herself from his arms.
"Honestly," She admitted, grinning faintly at Hego. "I expected you to come at me with a speech, or lecture." Behind Hego's back, Mego puffed out his chest and struck a heroic pose, his fist in front of his chest, a serious look and rigid, jaw completed the look. Shego had to force herself not to chuckle.
"Yes." Hego said, looking puzzled. "Mego said the same thing." He cocked his head sideways, still looking at Shego. "What 'did' you think I would lecture you about?"
"Oh, the usual. My criminal career, my becoming one of the 'good guys' again. I kinda expected you to try and get me to rejoin Team Go. And then there's me and Kim."
Hego's face suddenly turned utterly serious. "Yes, about that." He said in a perfectly neutral tone, straightening up.
'Oh boy.' Shego thought. 'This reminds me of his old speeches on how Heroes should act. I still can't believe he used heroing as a verb.'
"I'm happy for you Sheridan." He stated simply, his face breaking out into a warm smile.
Shego blinked once. Twice. Three times.
"What?" She gasped.
"I'm happy for you." Hego repeated.
"We're happy for you too." Wego chimed in.
Mego shared Shego's confused look.
"I mean, sure." Hego continued, savoring the occasion. The first time he'd rendered his sister speechless. "It caught me off guard at first. But do I really seem like the kind of person who'd make a fuss over that?"
Shego blushed imperceptibly, avoiding his gaze. "Never." She mumbled. "Not a second."
After a second spent looking at each other, the wells turned back to Hego and began shaking their heads vehemently.
Mego snickered, and Shego glared at him.
"So," She began, turning back to Hego. "Where's Kim hiding?"
Her brothers all shifted their feet slightly.
"How did you-" Hego started. Mego cut him off by leaping forward and planting an elbow in his ribs.
"Because this is just the kind of thing she'd do." Shego mumbled.
Kim came into her view then, strolling back down the footpath from the same direction that she ran off with Ron along. He walked beside her, looking extremely guilty. Kim looked like she was trying not to laugh. Shego walked up to her and punched her lightly on the shoulder.
"How'd you do it?"
Kim grinned guiltily. "I ran into them while showing Ron how we tracked him, and I just pointed them in your direction."
"Never do that again." Shego leaned in whispering in her ear. "Or I'll give your computer password to your brothers." She kissed Kim lightly on the cheek before leaning back.
Kim paled. "You wouldn't."
Shego grinned. "Want to test that?"
As Kim began to reply, a series of alarms sounded, filling the air with screeching sirens. An explosion erupted off in the distance. Stun rounds began crossing each other on the beach below, and searchlights scanned the skies. Shouts and small arms fire came from all directions.
Kim turned to the carnage, then back to the assembled heroes.
"Showtime."
