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.


I TOLD YOU GUYS I'D UPDATE SOONER, DIDNT I? :D

I got the inspiration so quick for this i neglected my French assignment for this. You're welcome, readers. Dont worry, guaranteed A+ for that assignment. This chapter is entitled Stay Beautiful for the happiness Shego and Kim share in this chapter. I am hoping to finish the next one over the weekend. If you guys think this is the end of Better Than Revenge, then you are more than wrong. I'm just getting started. I'm planning on making a spin off for this. I sat in with my friend watching the Cry and Russ stream and they were playing a visual novel game called NekoPara- needless to say i got an idea so this spin off will be titled "In which Kimmie is a Catgirl" And will be very short.

Regarding this story, i want to know if you guys want me to continue it on this story, or make a sequel to it. Because we all know that there is so much i can fuck up with this story. I want to know if it will be easier to keep it going as the main Better Than Revenge, or make a sequel like thing. If you guys are questioning if i ripped any of this off of Tangled Up in Green or A Small Possibility, just know i wasn't aware of Tangled Up in Green until earlier today, and in no way do I intend of making this like A Small Possibility. Things will happen, and while the idea gained inspiration from A Small Possibility, I am not trying to re-create it. This is my own personal story, after all. Why would i rip off someone else?

Anyway, the lovely cover belongs to HazuraSinner of deviant art, Kim Possible belongs to Disney and respective owners, song title is to Taylor Swift off her self named album, no killy killy please, and finally,

ONTO THE STORY!


Chapter 9: Stay Beautiful

Kim and Shego were laying on Kim's bed, Shego making sure that Kim was perfectly fine- which made Kim oddly at ease. Her parents had understood the situation of the mission, and didn't bat an eye when Shego appeared without shoes. Kim however, was meaning to bring it up.

"Shego" She finally said, and the thief glanced up from the small injury on her arm. "Yeah?" she asked

"What happened to your shoes?" Kim pointed to her feet, and Shego looked down. She frowned. "I… actually don't know"

"I saw you got your plasma bolts back" Kim said directly after. "Are you going to try and kill me?"

"For what?" Shego seemed to chuckle.

"Kissing you" Kim replied, and both blushed a deep shade of respective colors. Shego however grinned after a moment. "No, Kimmie, I enjoyed that kiss. And the small part of the date that we did actually have, I enjoyed that too. So thank you"

Kim's blush got worse. "Really? So… what are we then?"

Shego shrugged. "I don't know. But I'll tell you something"

Kim cocked her head to the side while Shego climbed in bed and gave her a hug. "I got something much better that revenge for the tower"

A smile slipped on to both if their faces. "Oh yeah? What?"

"I believe I got myself a loving companion, a long feud being over, and I don't have to worry about Drakken anymore… and you know that? I could give a damn less about my villain reputation… As long as I'm still feared, I'm sure there isn't much I wouldn't be able to do"

"So, you'll permanently be my partner?" Kim asked.

"Maybe not every time" Shego drawled a little. "But, sometimes, fighting with you is fun, but fighting you is much better"

"Only because you get to test your strength on me" Kim laughed a little.

"Kimmie!" Ann called from down stairs. "A Miss Betty Director is here to see you!"

"Dr. Director?" Kim sat up, confused. "What could she possibly want…?"

"Go, I'll stay up here' Shego said softly, and Kim nodded, straightening out her still mission clothes and she went down stairs. Dr. Betty Director was sitting on the couch, holding a small conversation with Ann and a cup of tea. When Kim arrived down, She placed the cup of tea down and joined her hands together and rested them in her lap. "Good Day, Miss Possible"

"Hello, Dr. Director" Kim replied dully, and she sat on a chair that was sort of along the line of sight. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to offer some kind of explanation for recent events, Kim" Dr. Director said lightly. "About Shego"

Kim went a little stiff. "You know about that, huh?"

"Well it was Global Justice who set up the probation. I should know something about it" Dr. Director said.

"Why did you do that?" Kim asked, slightly confused. "Wouldn't you have rather taken her into custody or something"?"

"Well, yes" Dr. Director confirmed. "However, we learned her plasma powers burnt out. So what better punishment than set her up with her enemy for a probation she knew she couldn't get out of if she tried? We sent Shego to be on probation with you as we hoped to be able to study her fighting patterns and her behavior, for when she did regain her powers we could very much more easily track which crimes were committed by her. That is also what the collars were for" She gestured to Kim's optional shackle on her ankle.

Kim looked at it with slight distain. "So you've come to take her back now that she has her powers, right?"

"It's the root reason, but there are others. I wanted to ask how you both felt about one another. I've already had this tiny conversation with your mother" Dr. Director replied with a soft smile, and Kim went ridged again. "You know about the date!?" Her jaw seemed to drop.

"The shackle on your ankle, Kim. Yes, we knew about the date. What I am concerned about, is if Shego does return to a life of crime, would you be able to stop her?" The question seemed more weighted than it should have been. Kim did have some sort of feelings for Shego, she knew that for sure now. Would she have the heart to take her down in a true fight? "Would Shego even try to attack me? She seemed full heartedly intent on saving me in the lab" Kim thought to herself.

Dr. Director waited on the teen heroines reply, and when Kim looked up from her thought process, she sighed. "I don't know, Dr. Director. I don't even think Shego wants to go back to committing crimes. But if we did and we had to fight, I don't think she would swing at me. I don't think I would attack her either… we would probably stand there like fools till the cops arrived, and she'd probably escape. But Dr. Director… please wait a while before taking Shego away. Observe a little while longer, I promise…"

Dr. Director's face curved into a gentle smile. "Alright, Kim Possible. You have the three weeks until the new term of school begins. If Shego has not committed any crime in that time, she will remain with you" At this, Kim let go of a deep breath she didn't even know she had.

"Thank you, Dr. Director"

"Please, don't mention it. She has done well by assisting you and even saving you this last time. Even if she was holed up in prison, she wouldn't have to remain for much longer"

Kim nodded, and she stood up. "Thank you for informing me, Dr. Director. Thank you for what you've done" Kim said before running back upstairs.

"She's a good girl" Dr. Director said to Ann. "I thank you for the warm welcome. But I'll be departing now" she left, and Ann gave a gentle smile.

Xoxoxox

"So?" Shego asked.

"She asked me a few questions about your staying here" Kim replied. "And… she was going to take you… but I convinced her to let you stay until I start school again- If you don't cause trouble"

"Did she specify?" Shego asked.

"Committing crimes, stealing things, you know" Kim replied. "Why? What did you have in mind?"

Shego gave her a smirk, and Kim blushed bright red. "Sheila Go! You are not thinking about something like that! " Kim shrieked and Shego busted out laughing at Kim being flustered.

"That's not funny!" Kim threw a pillow at Shego's face, and the thief rolled off the bed still laughing. Kim sighed in frustration, sitting on the bed, yet a gentle smile spread across her face. "You still have to wait another year and a half. I'm still not legal"

Shego chuckled as she got back up on the bed. "Oh, I know princess. But I break rules. Do you think I care if you're legal or not?"

"No" Kim laughed just a little, and Shego wrapped both her arms around Kim and brought her closer, snuggling the teen heroine to her body and taking a small breath of red hair that ended up in her face. Kim too inhaled the old shirt that Shego was borrowing- but it was already completely foreign to her from being on the thief so often. "You know…" Shego mumbled. "I… I really like you… or something"

Kim made a tiny chuckle. "I really like you or something too"

Shego pulled away a bit. "So… is that air mattress necessary anymore?"

"Shego…"

"I'll go then-"

"No, it's not. Get changed then get your butt back over here" Kim gave her green thief a smile, which was returned before she went to change into her pajamas. Kim gave a tiny chuckle in return before taking off her mission clothes in favor for her comfy pajamas, figuring showering in the morning was an acceptable option. She slipped under the covers and within seconds Shego emerged from the bathroom, dressed in her pajamas. She pulled the string on the lamp to turn the lights off, and although she was blushing, she climbed in bed with the young teen heroine and wrapped her arms around her waist, keeping her close. "… You know how much I wanted to do this?" Shego mumbled.

"No" Kim replied, finding one hand joining with Shego's at her waist, then the other to find it above her pillows. "Probably as much as I subconsciously did"

Shego gave a cocky smile. "To think just hours ago you were at my throat for taking you out. No, not even then. But two months ago you tried to kill me. And now, I'm spooning you"

Kim blushed. "Yeah, a bit crazy I guess. But we've been fighting for a long time, don't you think?" Kim asked.

Shego nodded, but gave a small contented sigh. "Good night, princess…"

"Goodnight, Shego" The words made Shego's heart thump little. "You know, Kimmie…. If you want… I suppose it would be okay if you called me Sheila every now and then, it seems fair"

"Alright" Kim smiled just lightly, and shut her eyes comfortably, finally able to easily slip into sleep with the thief holding her. Shego just couldn't snap the stupid grin off her face. "To think I'm actually loved by someone… in a non-family way… it actually feels good" Shego shut her eyes too with content, and slipped to sleep just as easily as her princess had.

Xoxoxox

In the morning, Shego woke up just as she had fallen asleep, the red hair in her face which she inhaled the scent of deeply. 'I could get used to this…' She thought to herself, and smiled into the redhead's tangled locks. She gave a deeply contented sigh, which apparently disrupted her princess. "Huh..?" Kim blinked a bit as she stirred, but Shego just gave her a gentle squeeze around her waist. "Good morning, Pumpkin" She said softly.

Kim turned her head lightly, blushed some, but smiled. "Good morning, Shego…"

Shego gave her another gentle smile, but it quickly turned to a frown. "Kimmie? Do you feel alright?"

"Huh? Yeah" Kim frowned. "Why?"

"You look pale…?" Shego said, and Kim shot up out of bed, and then went to her bathroom where she stared in the mirror. She looked almost as if she had albino skin. "What the…" she murmured. "How…?"

Shego frowned. "That needled DNAmy stabbed you with. What was it supposed to have in it?"

"I… I don't know" Kim replied. "I think she said something about mixing our genetics or something but I didn't think it would actually work!"

Shego got out of the bed too, and stood behind Kim in the mirror, taking her hand for comparison in their skin tone- equally pale, Shego just had the tinge of green. "I guess maybe it did- out back, now" She took Kim by the wrist and dragged her outside, Kim stumbled slightly behind the thief but couldn't help but smile just slight. Walking past confused parents, both exited out to the back yard, and Shego her plasma to carve a target a tree. Kim was slightly confused. "See this?" She gestured to her hands, and Kim nodded. "I want to see if you can do this. Do it"

Kim blinked. "How?" She frowned.

"Hmm" Shego balanced on one foot then the other. "Think of something that your brothers do that makes you angry"

"Will that help?" Kim asked.

"It should" Shego replied, crossing her arms.

Kim nodded and shut her eyes, thinking of the tweebs going through her diary- Bonnie being ever snarky about the head cheerleader spot- she felt soft heat around her hands, and looked down to see her hands lit up in a very pale tinge of pink. Kim shrieked lightly and fell backward, but her hands were still lit. "What the hell!?"

Shego laughed at her reaction. "You like it, princess?"

"I… this… what!?" Kim seemed more shocked.

Shego got down next to her. "It looks like Drakken and DNAmy's little trick worked out. Looks like you have plasma bolts, Kimmie"

"I thought you didn't want anyone to have these powers- you didn't want anyone to suffer like you did" Kim frowned.

"Well, this is a different story, You're my … my…" Shego's face lit up green. "You're my girlfriend, you aren't alone, and besides. You just look pale and to be honest, it fits you much better"

Kim blushed back. "You think so?"

"Your pale skin brings out your hair and eyes Kimmie" Shego responded, and she gave a faint smile. Shego just grinned. "What are you waiting for? Fire something at the tree!"

Kim got up in a bit of a stumble. "Are you sure?"

"Yes" Shego replied, and for example, she let her plasma out but kept it cool, and she threw it at the tree. It was hot enough to leave a slight burn, but nothing that destroyed it. Kim looked at her hand, still covered in the light pink plasma. Kim bit the inside of her cheek, but as if she was throwing a baseball, she hurled a ball of her plasma at the tree, which left a darker mark than Shego's bolt, and was bordering the outer ring Shego made. "I… I threw a plasma bolt" Kim sounded a little shocked at the idea. "I… I threw a plasma bolt!"

Shego gave her smile. "You did… You know what… I'm proud of you, Kimmie"

Kim gave her a gentle smile, and leaned on her. "Thanks, Shego"

The thief nodded. "You know, you're still going to have to make sure you take care of this properly, its not all positive as you may think"

"How so?" Kim asked.

"If you don't shoot it out often enough, sometimes it goes wild… obviously, there was an exception, I couldn't even touch them for a while… but if you don't use them, they'll make you sick, burst out. I learned it the hard way. So you have to throw them at least every few days… or just light up. Oh, and the heat. Sometimes it depends on your anger, sometimes it depends on your control… " Shego explained.

Kim teetered on it for a few seconds. "Don't let it build up, I'll get sick. Light up every few days, don't get angry until I can control the heat. Got it"

Shego smiled lightly, rubbing the small of her back. "You do… maybe nerdlinger can go find some of the material so we can make you training dummies or something"

"I think he can do that, but don't call Wade that. He's done a lot for me, and he'll do a lot for you as long as you aren't being rude" Kim said.

Shego rolled her eyes. "Right. Go throw a few more- I want to see how good your control is"

"Sure Shego" Kim hid a smile, then balled up another thing of plasma and threw it at the tree, getting a little closer to the center. Shego was right behind her, and helped her fix her throw, being terribly close. Her warm breath tickled Kim's throat, and the teen hero smiled softly. Shego slid her hands down Kim's arms slowly, poising her arms for a better way to throw the plasma. "Maybe instead of a baseball like stance, pumpkin" She said hotly in her ear. "Think more like… trying to throw ninja stars…"

Kim shivered lightly in response, but tried the way Shego had suggested, with her guidance, and the next shot landed in the center.

"Good Job" Shego whispered, and Kim shuttered once again, tilting her head back and managing to meet Shego's lips for a brief second before James opened the back door. "Kimmie-Cub, Shego, breakfast" He called to them.

The two young women parted at the call, and Kim turned. "Okay dad… Thanks"

He nodded, smiling at her daughters exchange with Shego, and he walked back inside. Kim hugged Shego properly. "You know what?"

"Hmm?" Shego asked lightly.

"I think I need to report a crime"

"For why?"

"For a certain thief stealing my heart"

"That's too cheesy, even for you pumpkin" Shego chuckled.

Kim rolled her eyes. "Oh well" She pulled Shego inside.
