Shego didn't know how it happened. One minute she was making fun of the flower on his neck, getting ready to have her way with him, and the next, he was gone, abducted by a flying spaceship. This plot reeked of Warmonga, and Shego didn't know what to do. Tears welled in her eyes. How could this possibly happen? He was taken by the one person she didn't stand a chance against. Her first instinct was to forget about it and move on, and if it was anyone else, she would have, but this was Drakken, and she couldn't live without him. She felt a pit rise in her stomach. She loved him, and she never once told him, and now he was gone. She leaned against a tree and hugged herself as she let the tears fall. Think, Shego, think.

One thought came to mind. There was one person that would help her get him back that actually had a chance at winning. She hated this plan entirely, but it was the only one that she could come up with that she knew would work. It had to work. She wiped her face and collected herself. She needed to find Kim Possible.

…

Drakken sighed as he stood trapped next to his archfoe. His mind went to Shego. Was she freaking out? Was she scared? Did she miss him? No, definitely not, and he highly doubted it. His thoughts went down a rabbit hole of when she left him in prison. She didn't actually care. She just liked the sex and attention he provided her. She was probably sunbathing right now, enjoying some peace and quiet. Only when she felt lonely would she start searching for him. Or would she just give up and get the attention she needed from some other guy? The thought made him groan out loud, causing Kim to look in his direction. "Thinking of Shego?"

He frowned at her. "Ngyh! How could you have possibly known that?"

She smiled sadly at him. "Because I'm worried about Ron."

Drakken shook his head. "Well, I'm not worried about Shego. Unlike your sidekick, she can look after herself, thank you very much."

Kim rolled her eyes. "So we're just going to pretend you two don't care about each other? Alrighty then."

"Ngyh! Argh!" He pouted. "Are all women this lippy, or did I just get so lucky to be graced with lippy women in all aspects of my life?"

Kim smirked. "She does care about you, you know," she paused. "In her own, twisted, Shego sort of way."

If Drakken could cross his arms, he would. Stupid Kim Possible- always trying to be helpful- even when the issue at hand does not concern her. "How would you know anything about the nature of our relationship?"

Kim shrugged. "Because she told me."

He gasped. "I'm sorry. What?"

Kim held back a laugh. "Yeah, when she was turned good by Electronique, she told me all sorts of things."

Drakken's mouth fell open. He knew that Shego and Kim had teamed up when she had turned good, but she never revealed any details, and frankly, he was too scared of getting blasted to ask her. Eventually, he forgot about it altogether, but now that he was here with Kim, the possibilities were endless about what Shego could have told her. "Whatever she said when she was impaired by the attitudinator is irrelevant. That wasn't her."

Kim bit her lip. "Really? Because I don't see how she could have possibly made up the fact that you two were hooking up when she couldn't exactly lie."

Drakken once again gasped. "Nygh! What else did she tell you?"

Kim smirked. "Things I wish I didn't know, believe me."

Drakken groaned. "I find you incredibly irritating right now."

Kim frowned. "Would you just-" she stopped when she saw something grow out of his neck. "Uh, what's that?"

"What's what?" He frowned when a flower popped out of the stem growing out of his neck. "Oh, not this again."

The flower moved into Kim's personal bubble. "Will you control your flower?"

"Just because it's on me doesn't mean it's my flower! It's not like I can just say attack Kim Possible, and it will-" His mouth dropped when the flower attacked her, wrapping around her and squeezing tight. "Oh. Well that's new."

….

The alien robots had Mr. Possible and the buffon trapped. Shego rather enjoyed the show, but she supposed if she wanted Kimmie's help, she would have to return the favor. Her hands ignited, and she attacked the robot, giving room for Ron and Mr. Possible to escape. When the robot was incapacitated, Shego jumped down to the two men she just saved. "You're welcome. Now where's Miss Priss?"

Both men pointed at the stars, and Shego's heart sank. If Kim had been abducted too, how was she supposed to get Drakken back? "Great. I was banking on Kimmie to do her save the world thing," she mumbled. She bit her lip to fight back the tears. She refused to cry in front of these idiots.

Ron raised an eyebrow. "Where's Drakken?" Shego pointed up at the sky, unable to speak otherwise the tears would fall. "And you wanted to ask KP for help?"

Shego gritted her teeth. "Do not make me say it."

Ron and James grinned at each other. "Oh right because you looovvveee Drakken," Ron teased.

Shego's hands ignited. "Just shut up, and let's go get them, alright?"

Ron stared at her hands in fear. "Right. Let's go get them."

James smiled and wrapped his arms around Ron and Shego. "You see, sometimes the heroes and the villains can all come together in a time of need to-" Shego's hands ignited again. James laughed nervously. "I'll shut up."

….

When Shego and Ron entered the spaceship, they ran right into Drakken and Kim. The teens ran up and hugged each other. "Sheg-" Drakken started to say. They both had their arms open, ready to embrace each other, but Drakken pulled back. Shego's eyes glossed over for a moment before she collected herself. They have cuddled. They have been extremely intimate. He has kissed every inch of her, but he couldn't even be bothered to hug her when she just risked her life to save his? She thought they were- well, it had been different since they started sleeping together the second time around. She thought it had been different for him too, but maybe she was fooling herself. Maybe it had been different because she was aware of her feelings this time whereas she hadn't been last time.

"It's about time you got here," he mumbled. He mentally kicked himself. He pulled away from her even though every part of him wanted to be near her because well, he really thought she wasn't coming. He assumed she would have left him here just like she did all those months ago when he was stuck in prison. Seeing her had been a shock, and he had no time to process what exactly was going on between them.

She looked away from him and stroked her hair in an attempt to calm herself. "Yeah, well I had a lot on my plate."

Before anybody could do anything, Warmonga and Warhok stepped into their space, shaking the whole spaceship. "Not so fast," Warmonga said as she grabbed Drakken, putting him back into cuffs. She wrapped him in a collar and threw him across the room into a see through container. "He's my prisoner, and you can't take him." She looked at Shego and then back at Warhok. "This is the great blue imposter's battle mate."

Shego frowned. "Woah time out. Sure, the teens are a thing, but there's nothing going on between me and Dr. D."

Kim smirked. "Nothing?"

"Nothing!" Shego growled angrily.

Warmonga smiled. "Then why were you so threatened by my arrival?"

Shego gritted her teeth. "I don't know. Maybe because you're 9 feet tall!"

Warhok shook his head. "Denial: it's more than just a river on the planet which we now control."

Shego rolled her eyes as she looked down the hall at Drakken in the transparent shipping container. The look of fear in his eyes tugged at her heart strings, and she hated how helpless she felt. Kim leaned into Shego and whispered to her. "Keep them talking."

Shego slowly nodded. "Why are you so mad at him anyway? So he told one stupid lie and wasted like a week of your time. What is the big deal?"

Warmonga smiled. "When I returned home, I did some of my own research into Dr. Drakken, and because of that, I came across a lot of things about you. Do you know how many people you have killed, Shego?"

She raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "I don't know. A few."

"57. And that's the people you can find on the internet. I'm sure there are more."

Shego bit her lip. Okay, so she's killed more than a few people. What is this alien's interest in that? Ron laughed nervously. "Umm, aren't you guys killing a bunch of people on our planet as we speak?"

Warhok grinned. "Yes, but we would never hurt our own species. We are trying to flourish and spread our community."

Shego stomped her foot. She was tired of beating around the bush. "What does any of this have to do with me or Dr. D?"

Warmonga smiled. "57 people, Shego. Some of them scientists and professors, most of them security guards. People with friends, families, and lovers. People that had others that cared about them. You took someone's favorite person away 57 times." Warmonga leaned down so that her face was near Shego's. "I knew you'd come after him. I wasn't banking on him-" she pointed at Ron, "But I knew you'd show up because you care about him." She straightened back up, causing Shego to look up at her. "Not only did he lie to me, but he paid you to kill those people. You deserve to watch as the only person you care about dies."

Shego's heart sped up, but she refused to show any sort of weakness. "I don't care about him."

Warmonga grinned. "Really? So you won't care that I do this?" She took a remote out of her pocket, and pressed the top button, which activated the collar on Drakken's neck, shocking him. He screamed in agony.

Shego gasped as her eyes grew wide. She wanted to throw up. Drakken was being tortured because of something she did, and the thought made her physically ill. If she had done her research at all, Warmonga would know that she was a killer long before she met Drakken. She was the one that deserved to be tortured in that shipping container- not him. She didn't really know how to express that, and she was sick of waiting on Kim's cue, so she went on the defense on her own. Her hands ignited. "Fine. If you want to play, let's play."

Shego started throwing plasma blasts, and Warmonga pressed the button again, causing Drakken to scream out in pain once again. Shego gritted her teeth. Come on, Doc. Just hang on a little longer. "Shego, look out!" Kim shouted as Warhok went to hit her. She couldn't dodge it in time, and his hit threw her across the room.

Kim shot the cord up from her watch, and it latched onto the ceiling so that she could swing around Warhok. She trapped him into the cord to give Shego just enough time to get up and go after Warmonga. She lost to her last time, but she was more angry now than before. Last time, Drakken's life hadn't been in immediate danger. Now, she was here, and she was here to win. "You can't defeat me," Warmonga said as she dodged a plasma blast. "I'm superior to your kind."

Shego growled. "I am so sick of you coming here and trying to take what is rightfully mine. Get yourself your own crazy, blue geek. That one belongs to me!" Shego managed to hit her, and it threw her back just enough so that Shego could blast open the shipping container. Drakken fell to the ground, but he was barely moving. What the hell kind of voltage was on that thing?

Kim was fighting off Warhok, and Ron was running like hell, trying to find an escape route. Shego ran toward Drakken and knelt down on the floor next to him as she ripped the collar off of his neck. "Doc, come on, stay with me. We're almost out of here. Just stay awake, alright?" Drakken didn't move, and Shego's heart pounded loudly. She so didn't have time for this. She slapped him. Hard. "Drakken, if you don't come to right now, I swear when you do, you're going to wake up just so I can knock you unconscious again." He slowly opened his eyes, which made her want to laugh. Even when he was barely conscious, he responded to her lippy remarks.

"Shego?" he groaned.

She smiled at him. "Hi."

Drakken groaned in pain. His whole body hurt, and his vision was blurry. "If I don't make it, I just want you to know-"

Shego put her hand over his mouth. "Shut up. You're going to make it."

When she moved her hand, he smiled slightly. "But you have to know-"

"Doc, you can tell me later because you are making it out of here alive."

"I love you."

It was barely a whisper. She wasn't even sure if she heard him correctly, but her eyes grew wide. "Wait, what?" She heard a screech from Rufus, forcing her to take her eyes off of Drakken as she looked up to see Warhok hanging Kim by her foot. Shego threw a plasma blast at his arm, forcing him to drop her. She heard Ron yell for her, and she quickly grabbed Drakken by the arm. "We need to go. Now."

They ran for it, meeting Kim and Ron by the door as they flew out on Shego and Ron's spacesuits. Warhok and Warmonga chased after them. Drakken's eyes grew wide. "My mind is racing. It's uncanny. I see every detail."

Kim and Shego looked at each other. "Of what?"

Drakken grinned. He had to do this. For her. For whatever happens next because he didn't want to miss a single second that they could be spending together. He knew that he just nearly died, and he was only running on adrenaline right now, and it awoke something in him. He almost lost her. No more dancing around his feelings just so he can enjoy the physical intimacy. He was all in, and no matter what happens next, he was going to make sure she knew he loved her. If she doesn't love him back, well he'll cross that bridge when he gets there. But for now, he has to help the world so that he could look her in the eyes and tell her that she was his. "My greatest plan ever."

Ron raised an eyebrow. "To save the world?"

Drakken's face fell. "Do not make me say those words." He didn't care about the world at all. He only cared about his world: her.
