You know as well as I do, you're not cut out for the hero life.
Thunder clapped across the sky as rain began to fall. Shego held her arm, as she continued to walk back to Monique's house.
How long will it be before you fall back into old habits?
Groaning quietly, Shego gritted her teeth before slipping her left arm into a sling 'donated' by a local hospital.
The offer still stands in case you change your mind Shego.
Finally reaching the house, she sighed softly. Knocking on the door, Shego waited patiently.
The door swung open, as Monique handed her a towel. "We were wondering when you were gonna come back. Holy hell, you alright girl?!"
"I'm fine, nothing to worry about" Shego shrugged, wincing slightly. "It was a little harder escaping this time, but nothing I couldn't handle." Shego smirked receiving the towel to dry off her hair.
"Come inside, before you get sick."
Shego stopped at the door handing back the towel using her plasma to quickly dry off, than taking the towel back she dried it as well "How's Monkeygirl?"
"She's- He's … in the living room."
Shego chuckled, as she stepped inside. Making her way to the living room, she saw Yori sitting on Ron's lap. Kim sitting alone on a couch across the room, holding her head, her eyes closed almost as if contemplating something.
While Bonnie came from the kitchen "He- What the hell happened to YOU?!"
"Ah, don't worry about it. I got a little careless" She than knelt in front of Kim, placing a hand on her knee. "Kimmie, Kimmie"
Quietly stirring, Kim had a stern look on her face. "What did you tell Electronique?"
"I told her I wasn-… How did you know about that?"
"Shego, just tell me"
"You sent someone to spy on me?"
"No I-"
"What? You planted a device on me? You had that nerd of yours hack into the security system to eavesdrop?"
"It doesn't matter how! "Kim exclaimed
"It does to me!"
"What happened between you and her?!"
"How is this going to work if you can't TRUST me?"
"It's not like you're making it easy! You sneak off in the middle of the night without telling me! Only leaving me a note after we made love!"
"I didn't think I would take this long, and I didn't want to wake you up! You haven't slept since Ron was kidnapped!"
"That doesn't matter! You should have woken me up!"
"I understand friends are important, but so is your health!"
"I'm a big girl I can take care of myself, I don't need you!"
"Is that so?" Shego sighed standing up, and heading towards the door. "Fine" Placing her hand on the door knob, before getting a chance to turn it she heard a shuffle behind Kim.
"WAIT!" A figure suddenly leapt from behind Kim "If you walk out that door right now, it'll be the BIGGEST mistake you ever make!"
Shego turned to look at the source of the voice, and was startled to see a young teenager who looked almost exactly like her except for the eye and skin color. "…"
Stiffening like a deer caught in headlights, she cleared her throat and continued"… My name is Evangeline Lipsky."
"Hey isn't that"
"Drakken's"
"Last name?"
"Shego, I'm your daughter…"
[Go City- Electronique's Lair ]
"I can't believe she got away!"
"Well Lynn, if you hadn't gotten in my way. She would have been trapped!"
"What?! You almost fried me to a crisp!"
Electronique pinched the bridge of her nose "Yes, you're right" Her aggressive tone faded, as it turned submissive tone.
"Do you really think Shego will come back?"
"Yes, it won't take long for her to succumb to the idea of ruling the world."
"What's the next plan?"
[Monique's house ]
Shego took a seat on the couch; she glanced over at Kim as the two made eye contact Shego could see the hint of remorse in her eyes. Sighing quietly she returned her gaze to the girl in front of her. "Start from the beginning"
Evangeline knelt in front of Shego, her legs folded underneath her as she rested against her calves; sitting using the traditional seiza position. "In the future, the entire world is taken over by a cold hearted dictator, who rules with an iron fist. Every single enemy that ever dared to rebel was immediately annihilated, countries bowed before her feet, shrines were raised in her honor. Along with her three generals; Electronique, Adrena Lynn, and Drakken… Dad. Mother, you are the dictator… you call yourself 'The Supreme One' "
Shego stood up and walked out of the house without saying a word, once the door closed all she could hear was the pitter patter of the rain. Stepping off the porch, the rain hit her face as she stared off into the sky. The door opened as she heard light footsteps approaching, slowly turning her head she saw Evangeline standing on the porch.
The girl shifted uncomfortable as she caught her mother's gaze, looking down at the ground she spoke softly. "You probably don't believe me…"The girl raised her right hand to eye level, as it soon was covered by blue plasma. Eventually the flames starter to crackle, sparks began to fly. It was clear that she didn't have complete control of it. Beads of sweat slowly dripped down the girl's forehead, as she continued to struggle. Her eyes widen as she felt a glove being slipped on her head. Extinguishing her plasma, she found herself face to face with Shego.
"It'll help you control it" Shego extend her other hand offering the second glove.
Evangeline smiled gently sliding it off of Shego, as it was still held in place by the sling. "Thank you"
"Don't mention it… now tell me the truth."
"What do you mean?"
"Are we really going to do this?" Shego raised her left hand out of the sling, and with a simple flick of the wrist cracked all the bones in her arm.
Evangeline gulped quietly, as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. "You wouldn't hit your daughter…would you?"
Shego smiled "Spare the rod spoil the child"
Taking a step back, Evangeline clutched the collar of her suit almost as if trying to find courage by holding what seemed like a necklace.
Igniting her plasma Shego lunged forward, at the last possible second Evangeline jumped out into the pouring rain. Keeping her fists at her side, Eva kept her focus on her mother. "Please Mother; I don't want to do this!"
With a blank expression Shego launched two plasma spheres at her, Eva managed to deflect the first one but the second knocked her back. Using her arm as a pole, she landed on her feet again. "Mother!"
Keeping a scowl on her face Shego charged at the girl, dodging a left hook Shego executed a takedown. "And here I thought you didn't want to do this"
"It's not like you're giving me much of a choice here!" she avoided eye contact.
Staring down at the girl, Shego pinned her to the ground. "I know your father isn't Drakken"
Evangeline closed her eyes "You're right. It's Electronique"
"No, I am. Kimmie's your mother isn't she?"
Her eyes opened wide "How did you?"
Shego stood up and offered a hand "You have her eyes, your offense and defense methods are similar to hers, also." With her free hand she let a black necklace with a golden ring that had an emerald crescent moon in the middle dangle from her index finger. "I gave this to Kimmie not to long ago."
"When did you?" Evangeline clutched the collar of her neck trying to find the necklace.
"When you were so hesitant to defend yourself"
Receiving the help Evangeline stood up "I should have known better than to try and trick you…"
"What really happens in the future Eva?"
Tears stung her eyes, as she looked down at the ground. Feeling arms being wrapped around her, Eva looked up as Shego held her in tight embrace.
"Kimmie knows what happens doesn't she? That's why she overreacted."
Only nodding her head Eva wrapped her arms around her.
Shego rested her chin on the girl's head while holding her tighter. "It'll be alright, I won't let anything hurt you or Kimmie Mija"
"That's not it! YOU DIE!" Evangeline broke into sobs, as she hugged Shego tighter almost as if struggling for one last breath.
Kim walked outside holding an umbrella above their heads, Shego looked over at her. "I understand why now…"
Fighting back the tears Kim hugged Shego. "I'm sorry! I should have just told you"
Taking a moment to gather her thoughts and tranquility, Shego smiled at Kim as she wrapped an arm around her. "It's going to be alright Kim. We'll find another way… after all anything's possible for a possible right?"
Tears streamed down Kim's eyes as she nodded her head "And we've got three"
