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.
Yo that took too long to complete. Procrastinating the procrastination. Actually, it was more of trying to write out Shego's past without her confessing it all to Kim and making her seem emotional as shit. She is however reflective as shit and her past makes her eh-ish, not exactly her snarky self. Sorry mates.
A note if you didn't see it on the last chat, I Private Message my girlfriend on a daily basis on FanFiction net, and usually her PM's are at the top of my list. So if I PM you in reply to a review you made, and you reply to me, you may or may not get an accidental message of complaint for her taking too long to message me back. I apologize in advance in case this does happen to you, and I will try my best to read before i click, okay?
Kim Possible and characters and such belong to Disney and respective creators, Cover belongs to HazuraSinner of deviantART, Chapter is titled Forever and Always from the Fearless album, all of course by Taylor Swift no killy killy please and thank you. The chapter is named such, as the song describes the thought of the couple being a thing for eternity, only for one to stab the other in the back/leave them. This is reflected in Drakken's feelings for Shego being with Kim, and then Shego's feelings for shit you'll see
ONTO THE STORY!
Chapter 6: Forever and Always
Kim waited impatiently as she waited for Shego to get out of the shower. She was angry, what was Shego trying to do? Piss her off? Compliment her? Kim wasn't sure anymore. All she knew was that Shego was one complex individual, and she did not like the toying around that was happening. She sat cross-legged on her bed, and Shego walked out of the shower not too long afterwards, and glanced at Kim, her hair still up in a towel while she had her pajamas on.
"Why do you look so steamed, Pumpkin. You're about as bright as one too" Shego commented, and Kim's apparently red face went into a full on blush. "You know why I'm angry" Kim replied.
"The comment before you left the bathroom?" Shego questioned. "I was teasing"
"Yeah, I know. But… but why? I don't even know if you were poking at them being big or small" Her blush got darker, crossing her arms and looking away.
Shego shrugged. "You look fine, Kimmie. I was just trying to have a little fun. I never had a big chest as a teenager"
Kim cast a side-glance at Shego, eyeing her chest as it was before glaring away. "What about now?" She grumbled.
"Kimmie, this is a PG-13 fan fiction" Shego responded.
"And we aren't allowed to break the fourth wall" Kim replied. "So tell me"
"I'm better than average alright? Leave it be" Shego half snapped and pulled her hair out of the towel. Kim just frowned more. "Fine, don't tell me… but I still want to know what you meant at me" Kim sighed.
"They aren't too big but aren't too small, they're pretty cute" Shego was blushing now. "Will you leave me alone?"
Kim nodded, and took Shego's towel, putting it up on the drying rack on the back of her bathroom door. "Thank you" Kim responded.
"Hrmph" Shego laid down on her blow up mattress and faced away from Kim. "I'm too tired, Kimmie. I'll talk in the morning"
"Alright" Kim replied softy, and turned off the lights. "Good night, Shego"
"Goodnight Kimmie…"
xoxoxoxo
"So, Dr. Drakken" Señor Senior Senior sat across from Drakken at a dinner table, the blue skinned mad scientist eating a dinner that the elder Senior had prepared for him. "What happened the night Kim Possible foiled your 'Little Diablo' plan?" He asked.
Drakken stopped eating, wiped his mouth and cleared his throat. "On that night, Kim Possible kicked Shego into the electrical tower that was emitting the signals for the little Diablo robots. Since Shego wasn't in the police van, I assume she got put up in an Ambulance, why?" Drakken asked.
Senior pulled out photos from an envelope, and placed them in front of Drakken, they were all of Sheila. "This is a woman now accompanying Miss Possible on her missions. There is reason to speculate that this could be Shego"
Drakken looked at the pictures as he drank a little, but for a few moments he couldn't pinpoint the exact recollection of the face he saw. When he did, he spit out his drink in shock. "That looks far too much like Shego"
"Can you recall anything before being driven off to prison?" Senior asked.
"I heard Kim Possible and her buffoon talking before I looked out of the side window and saw her climbing into the Ambulance" Drakken frowned. "She could have brainwashed Shego in the hospital!"
Senior leaned back and thought about it. "Hmm… that does seem interesting. How could she have gotten the technology?"
"She has a wonder boy genius on her side" Drakken commented. "He could have done something, made a strange ray to possess Shego, gave her a neuron inhibitor, any number of things" he looked at the pictures closely for anything on Shego's head, around her neck, or anything that looked like it was attacked to her in a threatening way. There was nothing. Drakken frowned in frustration.
"Is it… at all possible that Shego is assisting Kim Possible out of her own will?" Senior asked Drakken.
"There shouldn't be, they hate each other and get into fights on contact" Drakken replied.
They sat in silence for a few moments while Drakken placed his head into his hands. "Why would Shego do this? Why would she go against our evil family and go with my arch nemesis? I thought we had more than that!" He frowned.
"Now now, Drakken. There must be a deeper reason somewhere. All we need to do, is to hack a little more files" Senior replied. "Now that we know in a more positive way that Sheila is in fact Shego, perhaps we can use it to our advantage, by getting a little close and personal with Shego's new friend."
Xoxoxoxo
"Say, Shego" Kim decided to start a conversation. IT had been another week since their movie and sparing event, and had decided to spend the day strolling about the mall. They were paused at the food court, where Kim had previously said that Monique was going to meet up with them later when her shift was over at Club Banana. "Before, you seemed a little… edgy about something. Your childhood or something, right? How being with me felt as good as you had some other time as a kid?"
Shego looked down and away, grumbling over her drink, probably a series of profanities towards Kim before she picked up her head slightly and sighed. "… Promise not to go blabbing about this to every villain you come across?"
"Why would I?" Kim asked, and Shego shrugged.
"The last time I felt so satisfied and happy, was the last time I saw my mother properly before the meteor struck" Shego stated simply. "She was… a big influence on my life"
"Is that it…? All you're going to tell me? Shego, everyone has connections with their mother, I mean Drakken is still a big mama's boy, right?" Kim asked
"Drakken is a wimp when it comes to being a villain. I'm the worst there is. If anyone knew I have mommy issues, I'd be a laughing stock. C'mon princess, just don't tell anyone…" Shego mumbled.
Kim seemed a little concerned, but nodded. "I wont make you tell me if you don't want to, Shego. But, I like to think of us as something like friends now. You can trust me. If you want to tell me something, I wont tell anyone else" Kim explained.
Shego nodded, but then smirked. "Am I to expect the same of you, Princess?"
"Maybe" Kim replied, and ate a bite of her salad before Monique popped up. When she did, she and Kim started up in a clothes oriented discussion and Shego was left to herself and her thoughts. "Mom… what even happened to you…?"
XoxoXOXO
"Hey Sheila" A slightly aged, younger woman greeted her 12 year old into the front seat of the car, it being her turn that day to ride home in the front. Upon her child's upset face, she frowned. "Sheila, what's wrong?"
"Its nothing" Sheila replied, keeping her thick black hair out of her face, though she didn't sound too convinced.
"Are you sure?" Her mother asked. "It seems like there is really something bothering you. Did you get picked on today? A low score on a test?"
"No… something just doesn't feel right" Sheila looked out the car window, staring at the other students who were filing out of school. "Like… something bad is going to happen, but I don't know what…" She leaned on the door and her mother leaned over to see her better.
"Do you want to go have a mommy daughter day to get your mind off of it?" She asked, and Sheila looked back over with a small smile.
XoxoXoxo
Shego interlocked her fingers and sat her chin on them, looking down at her tray while Kim and Monique continued to talk. "After she dropped my brothers off at home… we went and we had ice cream, and she told me about how she felt when she met our father…. Then I went home, and I went up in the tree house to play with the Wegos, Mego, and Hego… Mom came out to call us back in for dinner when the meteor hit… then…"
XoxoXOXO
"Where's my mother?! I want to see my mother!" Sheila cried out despite being dazed. Her vision was blurred, but wherever she was everything was bright, and she could feel multiple pairs of arms keeping her down. "Let. Me. GO!" She saw a flash a green on either side of her, and everything around went dead silent. Sheila managed to sit up, crossing her legs and wiping her face of te tears that formed, it was then she noticed the blood and injuries she had, and looked up with her vision cleared. She was in a hospital.
Then the two bright flashes of light….
She looked at her own hands, then at the walls, and the doctors and nurses around her that stopped and looked. Her hands had small smoke trails coming off of them, and the walls were charred black, smoke coming from the center. She started to shake. "What… what happened to me?! That meteor… my brothers! And Mom!" She jumped off the table, where doctors then started to chase after her as she went to go find her brothers, or her mother, anyone she knew, anyone she could ask what was going on. She saw her older brother in a different room with slightly less severe injuries, and she ran in. "Hector" Sheila frowned. "What happened? Where are we?"
He rubbed his head with a bandaged fist. "We got hit by a meteor, I think is what happened" Hector replied. "And, I accidentally punched a lady and sent her flying into a wall… I think that meteor did something"
Sheila stared at her hands. "… I shot fire at the doctors and nurses" She replied.
She felt a little tug on her leg, and she looked down to see a tiny human being at her foot. "Miles?" Sheila picked her younger brother up in her hands, and he started having a fit. "I'm tiny! What gives?! What happened to me and why am I a SHRIMP?" Miles complained.
Sheila set him on Hectors bed and sat at his foot. "I don't know…" Sheila murmured, bringing her knees to her chest. "What about mom…? Do we know what happened to her?"
"No idea" Hector replied. But he did seem to get a suddenly intriguing idea. "Sheila. Miles. What if- here me out here, What if, We're superheroes now?!" Hector smiled.
Sheila and Miles glanced at one another, and looked at Hector confusingly. "Heroes?" Miles asked. "Don't be stupid you big lug- We're kids. We could never be superheroes"
"Miles is right. Anyone could tear us apart" Sheila replied.
"Not if we have super powers! I must have super strength! Miles can shrink his size, and Sheila; you can throw fire at people! This is great! If our little brothers aren't dead, they can be heroes with us and-"
"Hector, they're toddlers. I have enough commonsense to realize that that isn't the best thing for them to do" Sheila frowned. "How would they fight with us?"
"It depends on their power!" Hector grinned. "Its brilliant! My hero name can be Hego! Miles, yours can be Mego"
The younger brother scoffed, rolling his eyes, and at that he suddenly grew to full, skinny lanky size, and Sheila was pushed onto the ground.
"Sheila" Hector grinned at her. "You can be called Shego"
"Why are we just taking practically the first two or three letters of our names and adding the first two letters of our last name to it?" Sheila asked.
"Because it sounds cool!" Hector grinned. "The Twins can be the Wego Twins!"
Sheila shook her head and face palmed when her doctors arrived. "Little girl, you have severe injuries… "The trauma doctor started, and Sheila stood up.
"Don't touch me" She backed up from them. "I know… with this…" She looked at her hands briefly. "All you want are blood tests fro me. I'm not giving anything without my mother"
They looked at each other, then at Sheila, and she took down the corridor running. They followed her yet again, and she figured she could get away. Her injuries burned, yes, and so did the bones aching in her body. She ignored it, and powered through the hallways of the hospital, until the sight of a figure stopped her.
"… Mom?" Sheila asked, and the dark haired figure turned her head. "Sheila…" Her voice sounded disgusted. "A little monster"
"What?" Sheila asked, concerned. "M-mom! I… I'm… what are you talking about?"
"Look at that skin of yours… and you tried to kill doctors… your hands glow and awful color…" She sneered. "What a monster of a child…"
"Mom… What are you saying? We were enjoying everything hours before! Why does this change anything? Aren't I still your daughter?" Sheila was emotionally overwhelmed.
"No. What would I get out of a child that's a genetic monster…?"
Sheila stared at her hands again, now on her knees. "Mama… no… why!" She cried out before the world turned black.
XoxoXOXO
Shego's eyes went half lidded. "I only realized a few years later that it was a nightmare I had, they had caught me before hand and knocked me out… I still don't know what happened" Shego closed her eyes just for a moment to try and remember that face, but she couldn't. She was alerted by a hand on her shoulder, and she went to strike with her claws.
At second glance, it was Kim, so she stopped with her hand inches away from her throat. Kim backed up some. "Are you alright Shego?" Kim asked her.
She pulled her hand back. "… Yeah. I'm fine. I was just… doing a little day dreaming while you were talking with your friend"
Kim studied the look on Shego's face, and frowned. "Something tells me you weren't day dreaming about ripping my head off. What were you thinking of?"
"… It doesn't matter now" Shego stood up and collected her food mess. "Are we going home or walking around more?"
"Huh? Well, I did want to check out the book store, there was a good novel in the library I was reading a few weeks ago, but they don't have the sequel" Kim replied.
Shego nodded. "Then lets go get that book" She threw it away, and took a few more sips from her cup. "Okay?"
Kim was a little skeptical of Shego's softness, but decided to keep it to herself, and she followed Shego's steps to the bookstore within the mall. Shego slowed down a little bit to be at even pace with Kim, and kept her eyes on the floor. She followed Kim from that point on to see what book she was trying to find, and when Kim was on the bottom of the shelf, she suddenly pulled the book up joyously. "Here it is!" She smiled at the cover. Shego glanced over, took a double take, and took the book. Her look of shock slowly faded into remorse, and handed Kim the book back.
"Something wrong?" Kim asked.
"… My mother read that book to me when I was a kid. It's pretty old, Kimmie. Why interested in it?" Shego asked.
Kim tried to remember the reason. "We had to do a book report on the book before it, and since I liked the first so much, I wanted to continue the series" Kim replied.
Shego gave a small nod to that, but kept her eye on the cover anyway. Kim glanced up at Shego and their eyes met for a few moments before Shego looked away. "Shego, were you still reflecting on your childhood?" Kim asked.
She went a little ridged, but nodded. "Yeah. I was"
Kim decided to not pester her about it, but on the way to the checkout line, Shego sighed. "I don't know if she's alive or not. That's what I was thinking about. The last time I saw her physically was before the meteor. But I had a dream about her, and at the time I didn't realize it was a dream. She… she disowned me for being a genetic freak"
"Shego…" Kim started with a soft frown. "That's not an easy pill to swallow. Why keep it to yourself?"
"… I let my emotions out in one way princess, you know that" Shego replied. "I'm going to wait outside… buy your book"
She left, and Kim looked down at her book she wanted. "The book must have some really strong emotional effects on Shego… would she really even be offended if I bought it?" She found herself walking to the registers anyway, and shrugged. "I'm sure she won't mind that much"
Xoxoxoxo
Kim had fallen asleep reading her new book, and Shego only knew this because it fell on the floor as she came out of the bathroom from doing her nightly routine, and she picked it up on the page she was at. Her eyes went slightly soft reading over the text, and she folded a corner of the page. "Read on, princess. Maybe you'll figure out a little more about me this way" Shego put it on her night stand, then turned off her reading light, and got in bed her own self. "Kimmie is a good kid… she'd never royally fuck me over like telling everyone what I told her…. I don't really like her still, but I know she's not that kind of a person"
Thanks for reading the chapter if you did. Once again i apologize for making shego a little OOC (out of character if you don't know) and making her a little more emotional and open to her enemy. It could be worse, just remember that. Don't forget to Review, Favorite, and Follow if you see the need to, i appreciate feedback from all my readers and more likely than not if you're a new commenter or don't comment that often, i'll send you a PM thanking you for your feedback and appreciation for the story. Thank you to all those who have reviewed before, I really do find happiness in the fact that you all comment so often and like the story so much.
Also, i'm sorry for the plot hole left in Shego's flashbacks. They'll be explained in time. Dont worry about it now. Just accept it. Shhhhhhhh accept it.
