Chapter 5
Another suit
"Ron, wake up!"
Mrs. Stoppable walked in Ron's room, only to find an empty bed. She sighed lightly and went to her daughter's room. He was sleeping there in a sitting position near Hana's crib, holding her small hand.
"Wake up Ron." she whispered and shook his shoulder.
"Wha…" he slowly opened his eyes. "Is it morning already."
"Is it her teeth again?" she asked him quietly.
"Yeah. Was i the same when my teeth started to grow?" Ron stood up from the floor and went out of the room.
"Of course you were." she followed him and slowly closed the door. "By the way, i told you to wake us up when she is crying."
"Sorry." Ron went to the kitchen.
"Don't say sorry, you are just did what a good brother would do." his mother said sternly. "But you need more rest, Ron."
"It's ok Mom, Ron-man has more energy than all batteries in the world combined." he smiled widely.
"You are constantly going on those these missions with Kim, do you know how worried i am every time? And the fact that you don't have enough rest makes my worries even stronger."
"I'm….I understand Mom."
"Good." she smiled and patted his head. "Now go and clean yourself up while i'm making breakfast."
After the meal, Ron went to his room to prepare for a school day. He went out of the house several minutes later with backpack on the shoulder and Rufus inside cargo pants pocket. Usually his route goes through Possible house first, to get Kim, and to the school after that, but not today. Ron decided to visit their new teammate first. Truth is, it was awkward for him to be alone with Kim for quite some time. Just recently he managed to got over his crush for her. It was a harsh choice between friendship and attempt to start more close relationship with her. In the end Ron decided not to risk.
There was another reason why he wanted to visit Shena. He was attracted to her like moth to a flame. Her eyes, her posture, her wits and humor, everything was like a magnet to this guy. In a past he would never do something like grabbing wrist of the girl he barely knew and dragging her through the hallway. But with Shena some of internal restrictions just refused to work properly, and he actually enjoyed this.
Ron ringed the door two times in a row and waited for reaction. Several seconds later door was opened by a girl in shorts and T-shirt, with messy hair and a comb in right hand.
"If it's another salesman i swear…oh…"
"Good morning." Ron smiled to her.
"Ron?" she blinked. "What are you doing here?"
"Uhm, well… i'm usually getting Kim every morning and we go to school together, and since you are our teammate and friend i was thinking to add you to this walk." he said awkwardly.
"Give me ten minutes." Shena said with a straight face and close the door.
While Ron waited for her on a porch, she, with a speed of a bullet, ran toward her room and started to brush her hair.
'Shit!' she thought. 'Why so sudden? Couldn't he at least call or send a message before coming?'
Shena put the comb on a drawer and changed her clothes.
'Seriously! Can't believe this guy!' she sighed. 'Come on. You must be friendly with him, he is my only ticket out of the Villainvill. But still, that WAS rude of him. Must say something.'
She took her stuff and went out of the house. Ron was on the same spot as before with the same awkward smile, waiting for her.
"Can you call me next time, before visiting?" she said. "I'm not really into surprises, you know."
"Sorry, it was kind of spontaneous decision. Next time i'll send a notice in advance." he just smiled to her.
'At least he's sorry about it.' Shena thought.
They arrived to Kim's house several ten minutes later. Shena was amazed by design of it.
"Wow." She said out loud. "It's like the house from a Hitchcock movie i once saw."
"Yeah, Mr. Possible is a big fan." Ron answered and pointed to a normal-looking suburban house nearby. "And there is mine living place."
"Wait, you are neighbors?" she blinked in a surprise. "Why did you pick me up first then?"
"Well, i usually wait for Kim to get ready anyway, so i decided to give her more time today and went to you… " he felt awkward again.
"You can pick me later next time, me too need a time to get ready you know."
"Duly noted." he smiled and knocked on the door.
"You're a bit later today." red-haired woman opened the door. "Ow, i see new face here."
"Uhm, nice to meet you, i'm…"
"Shena, right?" woman interrupted her.
"Yeah, right. How did you know?"
"Kim told us about you, dear. Oh, and don't worry, we won't blab your secret to anyone." she winked and went to the kitchen.
"I'll go and help Mrs.P with breakfast, KP is upstairs, second door to the left."
"Good to know." Shena said with a slight irritation in the voice and went toward the stairs. "I have something to discuss with her."
Kim was in her room, applying some make up. She packed her stuff already and just waited for Ron to come. She heard somebody knocking at her door and instantly went toward it.
'Must be Ron.' she thought happily and opened the door.
"Seriously Possible?" a pale looking girl looked at her sternly. "Did you tell my secret to everyone around?"
"Shena? How? What?" Kim was utterly confused.
"Ron picked me up this morning, but that's not the problem!" Shena entered the room.
"Oh yeah." Kim started to catch on with situation. "About that… I told my parents about new Team Possible member the day we met. Sorry, i had no idea that it was a thing back then. I mean, me and Ron are rolling around without a Secret identity."
"You know what." Shena just flopped on the Kim's bed. "Forget it."
"What do you mean?" she was confused again.
"Secret identity." Shena said, looking at the ceiling. "It was stupid of me to think that i can keep it secret after you saw me without mask. Just like my block-head brother told us, once unmasked never safe again."
"I'm sorry, i will keep it secret from now on i promise!"
"No need." she rose from the bed. "Just make me one of your mission gear, i'll roll with that."
"Wait a second." Kim dived into her closet and took out a package from it. "Here, it's my spare one, should be the right size."
"Thanks." Shena took the package. "But still, don't tell anybody about my powers ok? Don't want for people looking at me like at the circus freak."
"I got it. I will not tell anybody else, i promise. But are you sure about this? I mean, Monkey Fist saw you in your cat suit and you told him your Hero name. He would probably put two and two together next time we meet. Won't it affect Team Go?"
"Don't worry about it, our civilian life is under false identity too. For example, in my old school people knew me as Shana Grace. And even if he will try to attack them, they're tough, one monkey-man won't be a threat."
"And what about Shena Go?" she asked. "Is it a false name too?"
"Nope, that one is true. Apparently someone decided that it will be better this way." Shena sighed. "Also, i don't need fake names now, it was Team Go thing, and now i'm with Team Possible, right?"
"Right!" Kim smiled.
Meanwhile at the kitchen Ron was washing apples in a sink.
"Thank you for helping Ron." Ann said.
"No big .P."
"So… This is Shena, what a lovely looking girl."
An apple slipped from Ron's hand and fell into the sink.
"Uh... y-yes she is." he stuttered.
'So this is how it is.' Ann thought and sighed, smiling slightly. 'It looks like Kimmie has some competition now.'
"Kids! Breakfast!" she shouted.
Twins came down first, several seconds after girls appeared at the kitchen too. Mrs. Possible made them all some cereal and fruit salad, that Shena gladly ate, considering she didn't eat anything at home thanks to Ron. Mr. Possible joined the breakfast eventually, with a cup of coffee and a newspaper. And suddenly Shena felt very uncomfortable. This whole atmosphere of kind and loving family reminded her of the times when her parents were still alive. It almost teased her with an image of thing that she will never have again.
"Uhm, guys…" she started with a little shaky voice. "Don't we need to go, i mean look at the time."
"Oh, yeah, you are right." Kim looked at the clock.
"Thank for breakfast .P!"
School day was long and especially boring that day. Shena ended up drawing doodles and abstract images on the last page of a notebook. She also noticed that Ron was mostly asleep through the classes, waking up only on a ringing of a school bell, or by the hit on the head from Barkin. He even spent lunch time napping on the food tray. She asked girls did they know what is with him, but they just shrugged their shoulders. When classes were finally over, Ron woke up, stretched, and with a wide smile just went toward his locker.
"Ron?" Kim went to him. "Are you ok?"
"I'm awesome!" he answered cheerfully. "Why are you asking?"
"Well." Shena joined them. "You snoozed all day."
"Well, maybe i was an itsy bitsy tired, and the lessons were really boring."
"Tired?" Kim asked.
"Hana's teeth started to grow and she cries every night. Hence i can't get enough sleep." he answered and yawned.
"Poor thing." Kim said.
"Nah, i'm fine. Day nap helps a lot."
"She said it about a baby, you doofus." Shena smirked.
A short melody ringed from Kim's bag, immediately drawing their attention. Kim pulled out device and pushed the button.
"What the sitch Wade?"
"It's Bebes again…well one Bebe anyway. It barged into a Cheese factory and after that into Mr. Cornsvill's farm."
"Fembot doing her groceries?" Shena asked.
"Well, maybe." Wade typed something. "According to my calculation next target might be a Bologna factory. I already contacted them, they sent the transport already."
"Really?" Kim asked. "A bologna factory?"
"Yes, it's now an official request for Team Possible. Get ready, you have about five minutes."
"Ok." Kim turned off the device. "Let's go change into our mission gears."
Shena opened her locker and automatically tried to grab a packet with her cat-suit, but stopped near it and took another, with Kim's spare mission gear. They changed in bathrooms and went outside, to meet a Bolonga-mobile, a bus shapes as bologna. While Ron and Rufus clearly thought how awesome it is, Kim and Shena were almost ashamed to step in it. After a short ride they arrive into a factory and went inside, toward the storage doors.
"Looks like we're in time." Shena said.
"Yeah." Kim nodded. "Rufus, Ron, DO NOT eat anything here, we're on mission."
"Yes KP." clearly upset Ron answered.
"Yes mam." clearly upset Rufus squealed.
"Good to hear." she said. "Hey Sheena, is mission gear fit?"
"Yep, pretty good i say." Shena answered. "But it's a bit tight in a chest area."
Ron gulped.
'Damn, it looks good on her.' he thought.
'Why MINE gear suits her better than to me?' Kim thought with a hint of jealousy.
The trail of unhappy thoughts was interrupted by broken window, near the ceiling of the place. A shiny female robot flew in and landed right in front of them.
"Scanning. Bologna storage located. Obstacles: Team Possible plus extra."
"Extra?"
Shena lit her hands with green glow and shot some plasma toward robot's eyes. It hit them, but dealt no damage to it.
"What the…" Shena shot again. "It worked last time!"
"Darling upgraded my visors after last battle with Team Possible." robot answered.
Bebe flew into the air and started to shot lasers from her eyes and hands toward Shena and Kim.
"Crud." Shena dodged every shot. "Get down here Metalhead!"
"Negative, shooting from distance is better tactical choice." Bebe answered again.
"Argh." Kim jumped out of the attack. "We need to ground it somehow."
"Or…" an idea appeared in Ron's head, he fell on the ground and grabbed his leg. "OUCH! MY RIGHT LEG! I TWISTED IT AND CAN'T GET UP! I'M SO VURNELABLE!"
"Changing target." Bebe turned toward Ron and opened fire at him.
"KIM!SHENA!NOW!" he shouted, rolling on the ground out of lasers.
"Here!" Kim in a flash locked her palms and bent her knees.
Sheena ran to her and stepped on her palms. Kim launched her in the air right toward Bebe. Green-glow hand grabbed robot's leg bending it in a process. Shena quickly climbed on it toward it's torso and pierced it with her hand. Both fell on the ground.
"Gee." Shena said, patting her butt. "That was some soft landing."
"Nice plan Ron." Kim said, while helping Shena to stand.
"Well, it tried to kill me last time i fell, so i thought this time it may work too." Ron stood up.
"Well, thankfully it worked." Shena stretched.
Kim pulled out kimmunicator.
"Hey Wade. Mission complete."
"Good!" he said. "Hey, can you connect me to whatever left of Bebe."
"There's a port behind its ear." Ron pointed.
Kim connected cord from kimmunicator to it.
"Great." Wade said. "Got the data from it, but it's coded as hell. I need to write new software to crack it. And if i'm right, i might find location of Drakken's hide-out."
"Wow Wade! You Rock!" Kim smiled.
"I know. It would take a day or two, better start now. Bye!" screen fade out.
"Uhm, Shena?" Ron asked. "Are you feeling ok?"
"Well, mostly." she answered. "Why are you asking?"
"You look a bit green-ish. Or maybe not enough green-ish?"
"Oh. Wait a sec." Shena made a deep breath and her skin tone return to a normal pale tone. "It happens when i'm fighting. I would go around green-skinned all day if i could. Would be much more practical."
"Anyway, let's go home. Good work team." Kim said to the others.
Bus drove them to school and went back. Shena said goodbye to her teammates, took her old suit from the locker and went home. She folded it neatly and put inside closet right on top shoebox with broken time-travel device.
"Goodbye for now." she told to cat-suit and domino mask. "I promise, one day, when i will deal with the villain problem, i'll take you out. But until then…Goodbye…Shego."
Meanwhile at Drakken's lair.
"Where is my bologna?" Drakken tapped his finger on the table. "Note to myself, never again send a robot to do the groceries!"
