Better Than Revenge

AU- The injuries from the tower are more extensive then what Kim initially believed, and instead of a police van, Shego is taken away in an ambulance. Feeling some guilt, Kim does something she didn't think was ever done. KiGo. May be long, may be short, I don't know. Also, I like song titles for story titles.


Hieloooooooo! Second Update Today! Why? Like I fuckin know. Stress relieving to all high hell i guess. This is chapter two, titled Begin Again (RED) For the title matching how Shego "begins again" for the reason you will see. Its kinda partial chorus, partial refrain, its just selective parts, but the title i felt was fitting.

Kim Possible belongs to Disney and other assorted creators i dont know the name of, story cover belongs to HazuraSinner of deviantART (More info at the bottom of the chapter), and the song title is ofc Taylor Swift's property, No murdering please.

ONTO THE STORY!

(*NOTE*) Thank you to W.I.T.C.H. RULEZ for correcting me on an error in the text. Apparently, i had deleted too much text without noticing, and it caused a conversation to be weird. So, thank you for catching that.


Chapter 2: Begin Again

During the weekend, though seemingly against her will, Shego had Kim's company in the hospital room, and over time it didn't feel so hostile. While she still couldn't ignite her hands, Shego felt a little too at ease being in the same room as her enemy. They had just finished another movie, and at that point Kim had snuck in some already made popcorn to enjoy, which she 'reluctantly' shared with Shego.

"The acting was awful" Kim stated as the credits started rolling. "You could see the actress didn't care about actually participating… how did this movie get made anyway?"

"I think they needed a different costume designer" Shego commented. "Those clothes weren't exactly right for the movie…"

Kim nodded in agreement, eating a few more pieces of popcorn. "Hey, Shego" The thief glanced over. "After you get discharged from the hospital, are you going to go break Drakken out of prison?"

Shego looked at the TV during the credits and contemplated it. "I don't know. It would be nice to just stay out of it for a while. This is the first time he's gone to prison and without me. I might just enjoy it" Shego shrugged, and then took more popcorn from Kim. "Why were you wondering? Eager to kick my ass again?"

"No, I actually wanted to know if you wanted to see a movie in the movie theater. There was one that came out last week and I've been meaning to go, but Ron doesn't like those kinds of movies, as it's a chick flick, and Monique just isn't interested at all. Going to a movie alone is kind of lame too" Kim said.

Shego made a dry laugh. "Me? Go to the movies, with you? Do you know how much of am embarrassment that would be?" She continued to laugh, but Kim seemed serious about the situation. After a few moments, Shego realized this, and looked at her. "You were actually serious?" She asked.

Kim nodded, and Shego stopped laughing, and stopped looking amused. "… You are 100% serious about this then?"

"Well… yeah" Kim shrugged. "We've sat here watching movies for two days… I mean no reason to go watch one in a movie theater if you have someone willing to watch them with you." Kim said.

Shego raised her eyebrows at the teen hero. "So two days sitting in the hospital with me and you think we're buddies now?"

"That's not what I'm saying. I'm just suggesting we go watch a movie," Kim said.

Shego thought about it for another few moments. "Fine, we'll go when I get discharged"

"Ah, Miss Go" The doctor snuck up on them, entering the room and hardly giving Kim enough time to hide her popcorn from the doctor.

"I hope you're here to give me good news, doc" Shego crossed her arms in a bit of resentment

"I am, actually" He replied, flipping through pages on her chart. "You're clear to be released today. But you wont be in the custody of a high security prison

"I wont?" Shego chuckled. "That's a surprise… what lanky place are they sending me to then?"

"Actually, you will be released into the custody of Miss Possible and set on probation"

Both of their jaws dropped.

Xoxoxoxo

"I cant believe they're making me stay with you on probation" Shego grumbled, walking out of the hospital in the clothes Kim's mother brought her, which wouldn't have looked too bad if her skin wasn't pale. Kim rolled her eyes. "Don't complain, it could be worse, honestly"

"I don't see what's worse than being stuck with you and your terrible fashion sense"

"You've rarely ever seen me not in my mission clothes" Kim said.

She scoffed. "If your closet is in similar taste to your mission clothes, I might throw up"

Kim rolled her eyes yet again, and then walked to the front parking lot where her mother was parked. "At my house, you can't go frying everyone that upsets you. If my brothers annoy you, you can't just blow up at them. My parents either, they'll be skeptical about you. Don't get offended if they ask you something stupid…" Kim said.

Shego once again rolled her eyes lightly. "Right. I won't blow up your family" Shego replied.

"Good" Kim said. "I've asked my mom to take us to Drakken's lair so you can go grab any clothes you need. But no funny business"

"Don't worry about it princess" Shego mumbled, and leaned on the car waiting for Ann possible to come out. "There is nothing of use or interest to me in Drakken's lair… besides I can't use my plasma. It won't light"

"Good. You wont be as much of a pain then" Kim said.

"Don't get cocky, princess" Shego replied, and Kim kept silent afterwards. "And you can follow me inside, but you are not coming into my room"

"I'm slightly worried of what I'd see in your room anyhow," Kim said.

Xoxoxoxo

"This is my room, there is a bathroom connected to it" Kim explained, walking Shego in, though she felt uneasy guiding her rival through her house. Shego plopped her bag next to Kim's bed and looked around. "It's surprisingly clean…" She said.

"What? You expected it to look like a pig lived here?" Kim asked.

"Well… yeah. Mine was when I was a teenager" Shego said, and then opened up her closet.

"What do you think you're doing?" Kim crossed her arms.

"I'm looking" Shego replied, moving clothes and examining them with a face. "All right, not bad princess" She pulled out a few shirts. "I guess you aren't that shitty with your clothing choices"

Kim rolled her eyes again. "There's space in my dresser if you're even thinking about putting your clothes anywhere. The last thing I need is to pull out one of your tops and think its mine"

"No offense pumpkin, but green and black aren't your colors" Shego said half wittily, opening two dresser drawers that were unused, then proceeded to arrange her clothes in there. "So where am I sleeping anyway?"

"I haven't figured that out yet. You could sleep on an air mattress or on the couch or something. Ill have to ask my parents" Kim replied, going over to her desk and looking for something as Shego turned around to look at her. "An air mattress? I think I'll just take the couch" Kim rolled her eyes at that. Like I said, I don't know yet" Kim said.

Shego shrugged, and then pulled out her portion of catsuits she grabbed from her closet. After finding what she was looking for, Kim walked back over and examined the other articles of clothing in the drawer. "You own more than your catsuits?"Kim raised an eyebrow.

"You don't expect me to try and go drinking in it, do you?" Shego raised an eyebrow, and Kim shook her head. "Well, no. But I honestly don't see you as the going out type"

Shego shrugged. "It depends on my mood… sometimes Drakken annoys me just enough so I go out to do something…"

Kim shrugged this time. "When you're done, I'll be down stairs. We're going shopping"

"For what?" Shego frowned.

"For an air mattress for when you do get tired of the couch. Then, we'll be going out to eat" Kim said.

Shego laughed dryly. "I am positive you don't have enough money to take us out anywhere, princess"

"I told Ron I'd make up prom night with Buenos Nacho night. I have the money for that" Kim replied. "And since we cant be more than 30 yards from each other, you have to come with me"

"Dinner with the buffoon. Great" Shego grumbled. "I'll change before we leave…"

"Try not to be rude to him. Ron really is afraid of you, and I don't want him running away from me just because I have to baby sit you… speaking of, why haven't you tried escaping me yet? You don't have a tracker on you" Kim said.

"Because I know if I try, I'll end up loosing. Especially since I can't throw my plasma bolts at your face" Shego replied sharply. Kim took a step back out of precaution, afraid Shego would in fact light up, but she didn't. Shego noticed this too, and then slammed her fist on the top of the dresser. "Damn it!" Splits in the wood formed. "I thought getting pissed would help… but I cant light up for shit… damn it damn it!"

"Don't go destroying my dresser" Kim warned. "I don't have the money to replace that. Look, calm down. I'm sure we'll figure out eventually why your plasma isn't lighting. But until then, it's a good thing for everyone else, and I think whether you know it or not, a good thing for you too"

"How so?" Shego grimaced, picking up a shirt and tossing it on the bed so she could change into it.

"Think of it. Temporarily, you're like normal again. Didn't people used to make fun of you for your powers?" Kim asked.

That seemed only to piss her off more. "Get the fuck out of my face possible! Don't mention anything about it!" Shego shouted hatefully. "Don't talk about anything that happened back then, I hated it when I was a kid! That's all I'm going to say about it!" She grabbed jeans and a jacket of sorts Kim didn't see and stormed off to the bathroom, and Kim frowned. "I didn't mean to bring up a sore spot," Kim mumbled. "Maybe I did… but not this bad"

She sat on the bed and waited the five minutes it took Shego to change clothes, and once she was finished she came out in a deep green shirt under a black leather jacket, and dark black jeans with stylish dark boots she had also grabbed without Kim noticing. Shego then crossed her arms. "Are we going then?"

"Yeah" Kim replied, and she stood. "I didn't mean to offend you, Shego"

She scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Right. Of course you didn't" She walked down stairs and Kim sighed, following her down. "Mom!" Kim called into the kitchen, and her mother turned around. "Can we go to the mall? Then to Buenos Nacho for Ron?"

"Just don't crash the car, Kimmie, you know the rules" Ann replied and Kim nodded, and then went through the garage to get to her mothers car. On the ride there, Shego glared out the window and Kim glanced over. "Shego…"

"Shove it, Kimmie" Shego replied bitterly, and Kim just shook her head this time and continued driving.

Xoxoxoxo

"KP!" Ron called enthusiastically when Kim approached the front, and Shego was behind her. He didn't realize it was the thief until she got close. "Shego!? What are you doing here?" He got nervous.

"She's under parole arrest, and I'm the one watching her" Kim said. "She can't be farther than 30 yards away from me"

"Oh… um…" Ron scratched the back of his head while Rufus scampered into his pocket from his shoulder. "You're huh, hehe, not going to blow me up or anything, right, Shego?"

"I cant light my plasma, otherwise I would" Shego grumbled, and Ron shrunk a little laughing. "Right, can we go in now KP?"

"Sure Ron" Kim replied, and walked inside, Shego following with a grimace on her face. They walked in, and Shego sat down in the spot Ron and Kim would usually sit, and waited for them to order. Kim sighed and picked out two of the salads for the two of them to eat, and Ron got his typical naco meal, Grande sized, and they sat down, Kim next to Shego and Ron on the other side. Trying not to e so antsy, Ron looked twiddled his thumbs then decided to spout a question. "So… Shego… you aren't trying to fight to get away from Kim?"

"We're equal match enough with my plasma, I have no chance if I cant use it" Shego simply replied, and Kim shrugged. "Not always…"

"How so?" Shego frowned.

"We usually just fight until one of us gets a slight upper hand, and when you happen to get it, its ruined by the destruction of Drakken's plot, or when I get it I either go rush to stop Drakken's evil plot or you escape with him to go start it. Neither one of us have really settled in a fight…" Kim said.

Shego blinked as the realization came to her, and she smirked. "You're right princess. Maybe one of these day's we aught to fight. There will be no Drakken to pull one of us away"

"You know what" Kim gave a smile back. "I don't have a problem with that… with you on probation and Drakken in jail, I'll have a lot of free time on my hands…"

"Um… KP, please don't break out in a fight at Buenos Nacho… I don't want it destroyed again," Ron said.

"Don't worry Ron" Kim said. "We'll save it for the gym- or wherever they'll let us in at"

Ron and Rufus looked at each other nervously as their food arrived and Ron started munching down on his naco. Kim and Shego gave each other side glances as they started eating their salads, and for a time nobody said anything, until Ron had ended up nearly swallowing his meal whole for how fast he and Rufus ate it. Shego just cast a side glance at Kim. "Does he eat like this every day?" Shego asked.

"Yeah… you get used to it after a while" Kim replied.

"You've never complained about how I eat KP" Ron said.

"Yeah, but Ron, I'm not the only one here this time" Kim replied, and Ron frowned a little. "Alright KP I get the point. Sorry about that um… Shego"

Shego rolled her eyes this time, and continued her salad. "Is there anything else you both do that doesn't include eating at fast food restaurants?"

"We're always generally saving the world" Kim replied.

As if it was a general cue, the Kimmunicator went off, and Shego face palmed. 'Great… bad enough is I'm stuck without plasma AND Kim Possible is my parole officer… but now I'm going to be forced to be another side kick… shit' Shego thought while Kim set up the Kimmunicator on the side of her drink. "What's the sitch, Wade?"

"There's some hints that Monkey Fist is going to be breaking into an Egyptian Pyramid for some sort of Monkey Magic again" Wade informed. "Supposedly, having to do with the Egyptian Mythology god, Thoth. He was often described as a man having a baboon like head, which is probably where Monkey Fist has his interest"

"Not Monkeyyyys!" Ron whined again, despite having dealt with Monkey Fist several times before.

"Alright, can you give us an hour to get ready? We need our mission clothes" Kim smiled.

"I'll have a ride to take you to Egypt in front of your house in an hour, Kim" Wade replied with a small smile.

"Thanks Wade" Kim said as she ended communication.

"I'm going to have to go with you on this stupid mission, aren't i?" Shego mumbled.

"Its okay Shego" Kim smiled. "I have a little plan so you don't have to be embarrassed by Monkey Fist, since I assume your villain reputation is the thing you're worried about most?"

"Yep" Shego said, popping her p.

"Then lets go, you can finish your salad in the car" Kim replied, and Shego grumbled, picking up the container and moving so Kim could get out. Ron grinned while Rufus climbed back in his pocket. "For once, Shego will be involved in all right and not killing us" Ron said.

"Uh-huh" Rufus agreed.

"Come on Ron" Kim dragged him out while Shego started walking towards the door.


Sorry for the multiple skips and not a lot of progress. I'm trying to not skip right to the action. Also, cliffy hangers are nice. YES i did some sort of actual researching before i wrote what i did about the egyptian god. Thoth is an actual god in Egyptian Mythology and he is described as the god of the Moon, Magic, and Writing. And yes, he is sometimes described as some type of baboon or an ibis. So, if you say i didnt, look it up.

Oh, and i put a cover for this. The artwork is from HazuraSinner at deviantART. They're a fantastic artist, and they'd apriciate a few comments about her Kigo art if you're into that. But they havent updated them for a while. they do other stuff and is a bit more accurate. Go enjoy it. Enjoy their artwork. (Yes i asked their permission, go ask them if i did. they'll say so. Also, if you're wondering why im not using He or she, i didnt get all up and personal in her space and ask what they're gender is, and im not going to be an ass and assume female because you can have a feminine name or icon but be a guy. )
