Hey everyone, hope all is well. I'm, sadly, not doing well but I'm hanging in there. Let's hope all goes well. Anyways, sorry this took a while, but I did it. I'll be working on my 'Archie's and Aria's Weird Mystery' Fanfic as well, I just gotta poke around a bit more with research before anything else. Anyways, enjoy.
18: Bad Boy
I had opened my PO box when my cell began to ring.
"Go for Gogo." I say, closing the metal box as I started looking through my mail.
"Hey, did you check the mail?" I heard Shego's voice on the other end.
"Checking it now, what's up?" I asked her as I had the cell leaning into my shoulder while both my hands flipped through the letters.
"The Tri-city Convention Center is hosting The Annual Supervillain Shindig this year, you going?" She asked me as I found the catalog. I didn't go last year, but this year I felt confident to.
"Sure, I wanted to buy some new machines anyhow, or at least use them for parts. Plus, I can make more connections and see if Jack can sell some of my things." I say with a smile before opening a letter.
"Got anything new?" She asked me in a curious tone.
"No, just some old machines I have no use for." I tell her as I opened another letter.
"Is Jack Hench selling anything new?" She asked me, seeing if she could fish some info out of me.
"Really? You think I have all~ the info of everything~ he plans to sell?" I questioned her, dragging out a couple of my words.
"Well, it's worth a try." She said, sounding sheepish but I could tell she was shrugging.
"I'll tell you one thing, but it's the only thing I know that can benefit Drakken." I say to her before tearing up all the junk mail I had.
"Oh?" She questioned over the phone, her curiosity piqued from this.
"You just can't let anyone know I told you what I know." I tell her sternly, I didn't want Jack to lose trust in me.
"Not a problem." She told me, sounding like she was smiling on the other end. I bet she was.
"All I know is there's a helmet that can enhance something, but I'm not sure what it exactly does. I just think Drakken might benefit from it if it's about enhancing his intelligence, strength or his evilness. I'm just not sure, but that's all the info I have over the top secret project." I tell her, honestly.
I mean, I wasn't asked to work on it due to my partnership with Falsetto at the time, we couldn't trust him finding out, but I also never hacked Jack's files to see what he had or was working on out of respect for him.
"Fair enough, I suppose. Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye open for it." She tells me, sounding happy.
"If a check bounces, just let me know." I tell her, knowing full well Drakken was one of the worst villains financially.
"I will, thanks again." She tells me as I went to my baby, Elvis Rose as I call her.
The shindig won't be until 3 days, perfect for this April weather. I'm actually curious if any of my protégées are arriving or if it's 'no sidekicks allowed without a mentor' like most are. Either way, it'll be fun still. I drove around, just enjoying how warm it was and showing off what most thought was a replica before my phone started ringing. I sighed before answering it.
"Go for Gogo." I answer in a normal tone, stopping at a stop light.
"It's Jack, did you get the catalog?" Jack asked me over the phone.
"Yes, I just got it. I was going to contact you after getting home, but I want to go as a normal villain and have you sell a bunch of machines I have no real use for." I tell him before driving once my light turned green.
"Sounds great, I knew you'd have at least one machine for sale. Do you need additional info?" He asked me as I made a left turn, blinker was on of course.
"Will my potential protégées be there? I'm presuming not, but I still should know." I asked him then explained. "No, they're not." He tells me as I stopped at another red light. "Is Falsetto still in lock down?" I asked him. Falsetto was to be under lock down, secluded as well, for 20 years at least, but people break out all the time. "He's still there, don't worry." Jack tells me in a comforting tone, knowing full well Falsetto has it out for me. Good thing is, without money, he can't hire any hit-men.
"That's good, I don't want that migraine right now." I say as I began driving again.
"I'm going to email you a few people of interest you could try to make connections with, because I know that's one of your main goals. I also made you business cards I can hand out, with my second email attached to it so all emails can go through me before hitting your super protective system." He tells me as I pulled into a parking lot.
"Cool, you're awesome. Listen, I've got some shopping to do, so I'll catch ya later." I tell him as I looked at the store with glee.
"No problem, I'll talk to ya later." He says before we both hung up.
Seriously, Jack Hench is an awesome guy. I got out of my car, locked the door as well, then waltzed right into the auto parts store in my catsuit. Normally I wouldn't, but I honestly didn't care today.
Alright, I lied.
It's laundry day and this was the only thing I had clean until then. Oh by the way, Empress had her puppies and OMG they are adorable!~ Anyways, I went right to the section I needed to get to. The 'Special Offer' section to get the limited edition part set I needed. It's limited to 2 per customer, which was fine by me. I grabbed what I needed before going right to the counter.
"Find what you need, Ma'am?" The rough looking mechanic asked behind the counter.
"Yeah, I did. I'd buy more, but whatever." I say as I saw an air freshener for the car. I picked it up, examined it as it's called 'Gold'. I did the scratch and sniff, liking the fact is smelled like a nice cologne.
"Add this on too, please." I say as I added two of those and two rose scents, then added a vanilla one. He rung them up before showing me the total.
"What's a stupid girl gonna do with them?" I heard someone behind me. I looked over, very slightly moving my head to see he only had one set, not two like me. I was lucky I could grab two out of three left. I ignored him as the cashier put everything in a box for me.
"You'll probably break a nail." I heard the guy behind me. The over muscular brunette was getting on my nerves.
"You'll have a broken nose if you keep running your mouth." I say without looking at him as I pulled out my wallet. I was thankful these suits had pockets that could stay closed through battle.
"What you say?" The bully asked me, grabbing my shoulder and spun me around. He had barb wire and bomb tattoos and scars on his arms, wore a typical biker outfit, had a Hitler type stache going on and brown eyes that looked darker with his lightly tan skin.
"Are you deaf? I said, you'll have a broken nose if you keep running your mouth." I said, speaking slowly to make sure he heard me.
"You should watch your mouth, brat." The bully told me, pointing a finger in my face.
"Charlie! I warned you about fighting with customers before! One more time, I'll ban ya." The guy behind the counter warned 'Charlie'. I turned around and gave the guy my gold card.
"Go ahead and run it." I tell the guy. After he grabbed it, I was spun around once more.
"Now list-" Charlie started, but I punched him in the face. All fell silent as a crunch was heard followed by a thud. I broke Charlie's nose and caused him to stumble back before he landed with a thud on his butt. I turned around once more to look at the cashier.
"Sorry, but I warned him." I said as the guy ran my card.
"Why you-" I heard behind me, but turned and kicked Charlie backwards right into the cabinets of items, causing 2 of the cabinets to shatter and all items to scatter about, some landing on him. I cringed before turning to look at him.
"Sorry, run it for the cabinets and all the items as well." I apologized.
What? I'm a villain, but I have morals.
The guy sighed but did as asked while I pulled out my trusty infinite cube. I then sucked up everything, making sure Charlie wasn't sucked up, then I turned and took the box, my card and both receipts. I turned around to see Charlie getting up.
"Next time someone gives you a warning, learn to listen." I tell him before leaving.
Why must these men be chauvinistic? I put the items in the trunk, minus one rose scented freshener, closed my trunk and then got in my ride before driving off. I put the rose freshener on as I decide to just cruise for a while. I wanted to relax on my time off, enjoy the warm day, think of my next heist and the games as well as wonder who would win and their potentials.
I opened my cube to pull out my blue tooth speaker, about a foot tall, 1/4th foot wide and in circumference, black with GG on the sides in yellow, round and the top/bottom rings glow yellow. Yes, this was my own design. I used the blue tooth feature to connected it wireless to a portable CD player, put on Elvis Presley before putting it up on full volume.
I stopped at a red light, sighing in bliss as I turned to look to my left. I suddenly had a sparkle in my eye, a Cheshire grin on my face as I had, not one but two brilliant ideas! I then pulled my phone out to call Sid. Why? Well, I assigned Fin and Sid as my personal men and in charge of distributing info to the other's when I cannot.
"Yes, Miss." I heard Sid on the other end.
"I'm about to have you write a list on what I want some men to steal. I'm also going to give you instructions on an email to send to the last four contestants to send out. They will have 2 weeks time to accomplish this goal, as well as a set of rules and their bonuses for it as per agreement." I told him before driving off once more.
"I'm ready." He informs me.
I tell him everything before ending the call. I decide to park my car, turn the music off, then go forward towards the park with a small zip lock bag of peas with me. Once deep enough in the park, I sit at a bench and see a boy duck, brown body with green head and looked like he was wearing a black mask, waddle up to me before quacking. Call me old, but I like feeding some of the ducks in the park and have even named a few.
"Hello Darkwing, how are you?" I asked him, causing him to quack and wiggle his butt/tail feathers. I chuckled before tossing him some peas, to which he began gobbling them up. I looked and saw more ducks coming up, as well as little ducklings.
^I have to thank Aviarius for that flute, it helped me befriend these duckies.^ I happily thought as I tossed more peas.
"Hello Donald, Daisy, I see you have babies now! Congrats! Oh goodness, aren't they adorable!" I say happily as I tossed more peas for them. They were quick to gobble them up as more ducks came out.
"Afternoon Scrooge McDuck, Launchpad, Webby, Bentina, Della, Duckworth, Gyro, Doofus, Gladstone Gander, Downy, Fergus, Bubba, Fenton, Gizmoduck, Gandra Dee, Fethry, Dijon, Gene, Poe De Spell. Ludwig Von Drake how wonderful to see you out and about! Oh, Della, glad to see you came out today as well. Now, I think you little ones shall be named… Huey, Dewey, Louie, April, May and June." I name them as they curiously nibbled at my shoes. I giggled as I bent down to pet them gently as well as let them play with my fingers. I giggled at this before seeing more ducks than usual.
"Oh, hello there. Well, I should name you as well." I say as I stopped playing with the ducklings, tossing more peas out and making a pile for the babies to eat.
"Hmm… You're Grin, you're Wildwing, Nosedive, Mallory, Tanya, Lucretia, Drake, Tai Quack Do, Canard and Duke L'Orange." I say, naming each new duck happily as I kept feeding them more and more. I had a lot of duck friends today. They danced, waddled about and ruffled their wings/feathers as they ate the peas, quacking happily.
^This is embarrassing, but I can't help but enjoy this.^ I thought happily as I imagined owning a home with a pond in the backyard, next to a bench that's under either a weeping willow, a peach tree or a cherry tree and feeding a bunch of duckies of my own. I nearly jumped when one of the ducks jumped into my lap.
"Well, hello there Darkwing." I say as I pet him.
I love the hounds, I really do, but I was definitely a duck person. Darkwing quacked as I put some peas in my hand, then dumped the rest on the ground as I let him eat from my hand. Darkwing was the first duck to befriend me, as well as the only male with these dark colors while others were white/brown. This part of the park was secluded, left untouched and most people don't come this way.
They especially don't head this way after they started drilling and paving next door on the other side of this pond. I didn't realize I had someone spying on me through this whole Duck Love fest. I groaned when I heard my phone ring, causing me to get my phone from my pocket.
"Go for Gogo." I say, hiding my annoyance.
"Miss, you have an urgent email." Fin tells me, causing my eyes to roll.
"From who?" I question him, wondering if I could push it off to tomorrow.
"Aviarius." He tells me, causing me to sigh. The ducks looked at me, all except Darkwing were curled at me feet.
"What could it possibly be?" I say, trying not to be annoyed.
"I will read it now." He tells me as I lightly scratch Darkwing's head.
"It says someone named Mego has been hospitalized." I heard him say, causing me to gasp in horror.
"Does it say with what?" I asked him, worry in my voice. They might be idiots, but they're still my brothers.
"He is unsure, but thinks he needs surgery." I heard, causing my eyes to water.
"Can you look up Go City hospitals for me?" I asked him, my voice holding hurt as the ducks were trying to comfort me.
"I did, it shows that Mego needs to have immediate surgery to have something removed. A foreign object it seems, the problem is they're terrified to work on it." Fin read off to me. I gently shooed Darkwing off of me before standing up.
"Meet me outside of the city, get me these list of items. I need to get there, quick." I say before hanging up.
"Sorry little friends, I need to go." I say quietly to them.
They all quacked as they waddled about to make a path for me. I waved bye as I walked through the path, then hurried to my car. I was quick to get to the location, grabbing the items from Fin, then switched vehicles with him. He took the car back to base as I used my bike to speed off, leaving a yellow streak behind me that would last a short distance with 5 seconds of visibility. I used my helmet mic to call Jack.
"Gogo, baby, think of something new to tell me?" Jack asked me.
"I have to cancel going to the event, but I'll send you everything." I tell him, running a red light and barely avoiding a car colliding into me. Jack could hear their horn honking, I know it.
"What's wrong?" He asked me, his voice filled with worry. I felt my eyes water a bit.
"Jack, I have brothers and one of them is in the hospital right now. He needs surgery done, but no one will perform. I have equipment to help remove whatever is stuck in him, I can scan medical books and learn as I go, but I need to help him. He needs me." I say, voice shaking from fear and sadness.
"Please get there safe, do you need me to send a doctor?" He asked me, trying to make sure I was safe.
"No, I can do this. I can get a doctor there, but I just can't go to the event." I tell him, being disappointed I couldn't make it to an extremely important event.
"Don't worry about it, just go on and do what you need to do." He assures me.
"Thanks Jack, also if Drakken buys anything and his check bounces, email me and I'll cover it. Shego can pay me back later." I say before hanging up.
I needed to not be reckless, but I needed to hurry. It took all day, but I made it there. It was past visiting hours, but I parked in the garage before taking off the helmet. I put the mask on before walking inside.
"May I help you." A nurse asked me, though she didn't look at me.
"I need to get in, now." I tell her in a strict tone, causing her to look up and gasp.
"Y-you're-" She started, but I held up my hand.
"I go by Gogo now, so bring me to Mego and get a surgeon. I can help." I say as I hold up a bag. She nodded before paging a surgeon. I met up with him before being led to a room to see the scans.
"Get him ready, I can remove it." I order him.
"Igo-" The surgeon started, but I held up a finger.
"It's Gogo." I tell him as I examined the small object located near his heart. Close to an artery where surgery was near impossible.
"Gogo, we can't remove it. It's too close and, even if we can, it's a small bomb on a bullet. It'll detonate." The surgeon tells me, making me look at him.
"I can tell, as I said I have the tools. Honestly, I don't even need you for this, but I want you there and a couple nurses so I can be quicker." I tell him bluntly before looking at the scans.
Mego, my second eldest brother, was forced into a coma to keep calm and not move or shrink. I'm actually surprised this missed his heart and lungs, but it's close.
"How can we open him up?" I was asked.
"I can do a scan to deactivate the bomb so we can retrieve it from his back, where it entered. After that, I have a tool to easily extract it as long as you can widen the ribs temporarily and slightly move a lung." I tell him, looking everything over the best I can without my heart aching.
"Can you do this?" He asked me, causing me to look over.
"I've never done the extraction part, but the rest I'm confident on." I tell him, being truthful.
He nodded before ordering 2 nurses to get everything ready. Once we were scrubbed and coated, we began. This surgery was not a quick one, but it took six hours to do. Why? We had to move slowly and I found out the bullet had tiny shards flaked off it, to which I had to help locate and retrieve since they happened when turning him over. Once all was well, he was stitched up and ready to recover. I watched him resting in his room, happy the surgery went well.
"Gogo, I know it's against our rules, but you can see him if you like." The surgeon offered to me.
I wanted to refuse, I wanted to leave, but I didn't. I had gone in, I had sat in a chair pulled up next to his bed, I held his hand and cried myself to sleep.
I couldn't leave him, not like this.
Not until he woke up.
Mego's POV
I woke up to the familiar hospital ceiling, confused as to why I both hurt and yet feel better. I remember being shot, the doctors saying I had to be in a coma, then waking up. Why was I awake? I went to move but stopped when I felt weight next to me.
^Probably Hego, the big lug.^ I thought as I turned to look. Seeing the familiar blond curls made my eyes nearly pop out of my head.
^Am I… Dreaming?^ I thought as I used my other hand to touch her hair gently.
She felt real, but was she? I stroked her hair, but after I put my hand on her head again she slightly jolted up. Her brown eyes met my eyes, wide like mine as she seemed to have realized where she was.
"Sis?" I whispered softly, scared she would disappear. Her eyes watered up before she lunged forward, gently hugging me as she began crying.
"You idiot, you stupid idiot. Who did this to you? Why did this happen?" She said and asked as she cried into me. I soon hugged her, still feeling weak after everything that happened.
"Don't you worry about that, but why are you here?" I asked her softly, hardly believing she was here.
"I came as soon as I heard they couldn't operate." She told me, making me remember the bullet bomb.
"You shouldn't hug me, it's dangerous." I tell her, trying to shove her off me, but again I was too weak.
"You're safe, now." She whispered to me. I was confused, but before I could ask my door opened to reveal the surgeon who couldn't operate.
"Ah Mego, you're awake. This is good." He tells me, causing my younger sister to let me go.
"What is going on?" I finally questioned them as my sister dried her eyes.
"Well, thanks to Gogo here, the bomb was disarmed and the bullet bomb was successfully removed with no damages. Your ribs will be sore, as well as where we stitched you up, but as long as you don't shrink, you'll make a full recovery in 4 weeks with no scars." He tells me, causing 'Gogo' to beam with pride, her eyes showing relief as well.
"She… Helped me?" I questioned them, not believing what I was hearing.
"Yes, she insisted. I was doubtful, but she was very persistent to where I couldn't refuse." He tells me, causing me to look right at my sister in disbelief.
"Can we talk alone, please?" I asked the surgeon, to which he nodded and left. Once he left we looked at each other.
"So, it's Gogo now?" I asked her, already knowing this from that video she showed, but I needed to hear it.
"Yeah, it is." She tells me, pushing some strands behind her right ear.
"And the mask?" I questioned her.
"I wear it in Go City only." She tells me, folding her arms under her chest as her hip pops out to the left. She was nervous, but why?
"Are you not ready to see us? To see me?" I asked her, causing her to look down.
"I'm not ready for it, but I had to help you. I don't want to disappoint any of you, but I can't just let you die on me." She tells me, tears started falling from her eyes.
"Hey, I get it. We're annoying, well mostly Hego. We were terrible to you, so I get it. We're not mad at you, we were upset you left like Shego did, but you and us also knew we'd talk you out of it or try to hold you back. I doubt you could disappoint us, I doubt you could disappoint me." I tell her gently, adjusting myself slightly. She saw this and went over to me, holding me still before using a button to adjust my seat up a bit.
"Try not to do that, don't need a stitch popping." She tells me in a worried tone, causing me to smile.
"Since when did you act like the older sibling?" I asked her, causing her to look at me.
She'd grown so much in such a short time. She seemed happy, confident, more open about herself yet still slightly secluded from me.
"I've changed a lot, Mego. My changes are not for the best, but they are for me. I don't want to disappoint you, though. Any of you." She tells me, causing a sigh from me.
"Did you go rogue like Shego?" I questioned her. I didn't want to hear it, none of us did, but I have a feeling she did. She looked away, confirming my suspicions.
"I'm sorry." She whispered, pulling away from me.
No, no don't.
Not yet.
I quickly grabbed her hands, causing her to stop and look right at me. I had a serious look on my face while hers held shock.
"Are you happy?" I questioned her, wondering if she was happy with her life or if this was just a way of lashing out. She looked right at me before giving me a nod.
"Yes, I am." She tells me. My heart slightly broke from this, but it also felt light knowing she was finally happy.
"Do you hurt people?" I asked her.
"Not innocent people, only those that cross me or 'softly' my enemies. I mean, there's a guy I tend to hurt, but he just flirts with me constantly and has bad grammar." She tells me, her face scrunched up when she said the last part. I chuckled from this, causing her to look at me, blinking twice in a type of shock.
"I won't tell the others, but what do you do? Are you dating? What's with the guy? Do you and Shego talk? I just, I wanna know about my baby sister." I tell her, holding her hands tightly as a way to beg her to stay with me, even if just for a minute. She blinked in shock again before she softly smiled at me, a comfortable one I hadn't seen in many, many years.
"I'm a world renowned villain, known for my machines and thefts. I'm actually known for my puzzles and games as well, though I've lost a few I get away each time. Playing the game of cat and mouse, using my mind for obstacles and such is quite amusing, it makes me happy whether I succeed or not. I'm not dating, I have very little hope in that area, but I have a guy in mind as well as a guy I agreed to go on one date when I'm ready. I was actually proposed to as well by a criminal partner, but I refused him and he ended up in jail due to his negligence, as well as a bit of my help. Because of a contract, I now own his henchmen, his rare hounds and his wealth. I'm the 6th richest person in the world now, so I just bought a bunch of properties to keep a profit. Yes, Shego and I still talk and have gotten close again." She tells me, causing me to listen intently before smiling and lightly laughing.
"Really, you got proposed to?" I asked her, slightly shocked but still wondering about it.
"Yes, but he was more than double my age, maybe triple, but he had plastic surgery to look young. Just look up Falsetto Jones, he wasn't my type. I was dumb enough to not realize he was flirting with me, nor realized his gifts and bonuses were because he liked me. I'm getting better at telling the difference, though… Somewhat." She tells me, first with a scrunched up face then she looked embarrassed, causing me to laugh.
"Glad you're learning." I tell her happily, causing her to pout at my laughter.
"Oh, I'm looking for an assistant as well, one I can train to take over for me for when I retire. I want someone who has potential, one that can be almost like me." She tells me, to which I nod my head.
"You still have some hero morals, even as a villain. That just means you're not all bad. I genuinely think you're more vigilante than anything." I tell her, causing her to look away.
"No, I'm not." She muttered, then she looked at me with a happy smile.
"I'm glad I could talk to you, Micah. I'm glad I could open up a bit more." She says softly to me, causing me to smile as I moved one hand to her cheek.
"I love you, Goldie. I will always love you and Shanelle, no matter what." I tell her, making her smile that same smile of peace and pure bliss with eyes to match.
I then noticed something different with her eyes. Unlike last time I had seen her, her eyes are now full of life, joy, mischief and not a hint of dullness in them. This made my heart swell with joy, she was going back to her younger self again, even if she went bad.
"You like being in the spotlight, now?" I asked her.
"Yes, a lot. I like showing what I can do, which is why I record my crimes to show to other villains." She tells me with a smile.
"Anything else I should know?" I asked her, curious about her life.
"I had started off in a company and now the owner lets me call him Uncle and helps me sell my inventions." She tells me as my thumb rubs her cheek. She was making a family, making herself well known, still inventing and expressing herself.
"Hey Gold, about our gifts… Did you steal them?" I softly questioned her, hoping she didn't.
"You don't have to believe me, but I never stole those things. I don't steal everything I want, but I don't ever steal gifts I'm going to send you. Granted, my money is unmarked and earned from stolen items or theft jobs, but the ones for repair jobs or selling my machines I have in a separate account. I, well, I have it for The Wegos. They need to go to a good college, so I started a fund for them and can send you and Hego some cash if you need it." She confessed to me, blushing in embarrassment over this. I then chuckled before I started laughing, causing her to look right at me.
"Sorry, but I can't believe this embarrasses you." I tell her with a laugh.
"Well, it does.~"She whined out, making me laugh more. I then grabbed her and pulled her into a tight hug, a few tears falling from my eyes.
"Gold, I'm glad you're doing what makes you happy. I might not approve of the villain work, but it's better than how you were before." I say, being honest with her. I felt her hug me back, feeling her tears as well.
"I love you, Micah. Thank you." I heard her whisper to me.
"I should be thanking you, for all you've done." I whisper to her, stroking her golden curls softly.
I missed feeling her hair, missed holding her, missed 'borrowing' her products and making her pout and whine over it. I missed my baby sister, also missing how my older younger sister would defend her, give me tips on how to use the products, just everything.
"You should go, Hego and The Wegos will be here soon and I know you're not ready to see them." I say softly to her, causing her to pull back to look at me. She seemed both shocked and grateful.
"Micah… Thank you." She tells me, kissing my cheek before leaving me alone in the room.
I didn't know if I wanted to keep smiling from her visit or curl up and cry because this might be the last time in a long time until I see her again. I ended up just laying there, staring at the ceiling until Hego and The Wegos barged in. I turned to them, giving a smile and a wave before they hurried over.
"You're okay?! But, but how?" Hego asked in shock, both Wegos examining me in disbelief.
"Goldie was here, she helped me. She's doing alright." I told them, causing all of them to look at me.
"She, she was here?" Hego questioned me.
"She's not ready to see us, not yet, but she's happy and doing well. She's worried we'd be disappointed in her, but she loves us and wants us to do well." I told them, causing them to have sad smiles on their faces.
She'll see them when she's ready, but not now. When she's ready, I'll welcome her with open arms, even if they don't. I lost both of my sisters once, I don't want to lose them again.
Gogo's POV
I narrowly avoided my brothers before going to the counter. I paid the medical bill, even though they offered it for free due to being heroes. I declined and paid it in full, then bought a bunch of stuff in the gift shop to have sent up to Mego's room before going to the garage. Once there, I called Fin.
"Miss, are you alright?" I heard Fin's voice on the other end.
"I slept in the hospital, but I'm ok. My brother pulled through, I talked to him. He's not disappointed in me, but he's just not happy about my choices. It went well, but I'm heading home." I tell him as I got to my bike.
"Sid is outside of the city in a jet, you can ride there and rest. You deserve it, miss." I heard Fin say, causing my eyes to water up.
"You boys are wonderful, you really are. I'm heading there now." I say before hanging up.
I took my mask off, put my helmet on and then drove to where the jet was located. I drove inside the jet before it took off. I had my helmet off and was in a seat as Sid prepared a breakfast burrito for me. Eggs, sausage, cheese, peppers, sour cream, hot sauce and potatoes all wrapped in a flour tortilla. I ate before immediately falling asleep. The next time I woke up, I was in my bed being shook awake to eat lunch in bed.
"Sorry Miss, but you must eat." Fin tells me with a smile before setting down a tray on my lap.
"Thank you, Fin." I say weakly before I ate my grilled cheese with bacon and tomato in it, a side of tomato basil soup to go with it. It was perfect, honestly. After I ate, I decided to turn on the TV I had set up in my room.
"Breaking news in Go City, former hero Igo, now known as Gogo, had returned to the city recently and helped local surgeon, Doctor Victor Lopez, with a near impossible surgery. Local hero, Mego, had been struck in the back with a bullet that had a miniature bomb attached. While the bomb didn't go off, it was located too close to the heart and lungs to risk without either damaging an organ, vital blood vessels or detonate the bomb. Gogo had come back into town, using her genius and technology to help Dr. Lopez deactivate and remove the bullet with absolutely no damaging side effects. Mego is said to make a full recovery in 4 weeks time, but will Team Go be able to still stop crime with one less member? And will Gogo return to Go City again? Will she ever come back to Team Go? These are questions we can only hope to have answers for." I heard the reporter say before I changed the channel.
I could get the local Go City news when most outside can't. I sighed as I turned on a movie, then fixed my pillows to make myself comfy before fully relaxing. I looked and saw Empress with her puppies, sleeping soundly with them as Emperor was on the floor, right in the middle to get to either of us. The puppies haven't fully started exploring yet, though both make sure to grab them and keep them in one area for now. I must admit, the puppies are precious, though I knew not to hold them yet. They came later than planned, making them 4 weeks old right now. I could technically sell them when they are 8-12 weeks, but I don't think I will. Falsetto used the hounds for breeding to make a profit, but I might get most of them fixed to prevent over-breeding and such.
Wolfhounds tend to give birth to anywhere between 2-12 puppies, most give birth to between 1-12 and the average is 5-6 puppies and the world record is 24 puppies in one litter. Let me tell you all something, Empress is amazing. She had birthed 19 healthy puppies. She made sure none starved, especially since Fin and Sid would help with feeding and Emperor was helping her keep them together. They were all beautiful, finally growing a near full coat. Anyways, I was relaxing when I heard my phone. I reached over and answered it without checking the ID.
"Go for Gogo." I answer my cell.
"Finally, I've been trying to call you for hours!" I heard Shego on the other end, nearly blowing my eardrum from how loud she was.
"Sorry, I was asleep and had my phone on silent most of the time." I told her, switching the phone to my other ear so I could rub my throbbing ear.
"Is Mego alright?" She asked me, a hint of worry and sadness in her tone.
"He'll make a full recovery. Sis, I told him what I do." I told her, ready for her to yell at me once more.
"You did?" She asked me, trying not to raise her voice.
"I've told him about what I do, what's been happening, how we keep in touch and such. It felt nice, but I'm not ready to tell the others. I did assure him everything I've gotten them was from money earned from my machines, not from stolen items nor anything stolen." I told her as I pulled my blanket up more.
"How'd he react?" She asked me, growing curious over this.
"He wasn't happy about what I do, but he's not disappointed. He understands why I chose my path, why I left and is happy that I'm happy." I told her as a smile crept onto my face. Mego might be egotistical and selfish most times, but he's a great big brother at times.
"Glad to know he's more understanding than Hego." She says to me.
"Listen, as much as I love talking to you and spending time with you, I'm still tired. The surgery was long, the drive was long and I feel drained. I'm sorry." I tell her honestly, trying not to be annoyed.
"No, no it's ok. I just hadn't heard from you after the email I got from your guys, but I'm glad you're alright. I just gotta know, how'd ya find out?" I heard her ask me as I yawned.
"I have a source, no worries." I say to her as I felt my body tell me to relax.
"Fair enough, I'll talk to you later." She tells me before I hear a click. Good thing too, because I felt myself fall asleep again.
5 days later Gogo's POV
It was after the events that unfolded and the shindig was over two days ago. I heard Team Possible paid a visit, which kinda bummed me out I wasn't there, but whatever. I was building a new machine when I got a phone call. It slightly scared me, making me hit my left hand against a gear and giving a yelp of pain before pulling away and answering the phone.
"Go for Gogo." I say, holding the phone with my right hand as I waved my left hand to stop the tingling.
"Gogo, it's Shego. Can you come over?" She asked me, sounding both annoyed and worried.
"What's wrong?" I asked her. I was worried about her tone, was it serious?
"I need you to examine Dr. D." She tells me, causing my eyes to roll.
"Sis, I'm not a Doctor." I tell her as I was trying to figure out what exactly I was making. I had a random dream and decided to work on it by that instead of a blueprint first.
"Please, Hench Co sold us a helmet, one that can separate good and evil and put in all the evil. The helmet's called-" She started but I cut her off.
"The Attitudinator, I know of it. Jack wants me to fix it, but it looks like it needs to be scrapped or to make a new one." I say as I went to my bike.
"Great.~" She said in a sarcastic tone.
"I can be there in a few minutes." I tell her as I switched to blue tooth in my helmet.
"Do ya have the helmet?" She questioned me.
"It's with Jack, I haven't been able to work on it yet." I tell her as I began driving.
"How long until you're here?" She asked me as I went into speed mode.
"Fast, hopefully I can be fast enough to go over water." I say to her as I went 300 MPH.
"Don't do that, please. I'll meet ya there with the hovercraft." She tells me in a strict/worried tone.
"Fine, I'll be there in 7 minutes exactly." I tell her before hanging up. True to my word, I was at the dock in 7 minutes. I hid my bike just as Shego came up.
"Quickly, before Dr. D acts even weirder." She tells me as I hoped in.
"How weird is he?" I asked her.
"Oh, you'll see." She tells me as she hurried.
How evil is he?
Insane?
Violent?
Destructive?
I prepared myself as we arrived. She hurried me inside before pointing to him.
"There, examine, now." She practically ordered me. I rolled my eyes as I walked in, then my jaw was on the floor at the sight.
"Ah Shego, you're back. Oh, you brought Gogo, wonderful! I made cookies and sweaters!~" He sung out in a sing song voice, wearing a pink apron as he skipped about. What's worse? He was pink! Well, more peach than pink, but he wasn't blue!
"O-kay.~" I drolled out, feeling slightly creeped out by this.
"I warned ya." She told me as I went over to Drakken.
"Hey Drakken, How do you feel?" I asked him, being cautious in case this was a rouse.
"I feel as light as a feather and as cheery as the sun.~" He said in a sing song tone, causing me to shiver.
"Okay, well, um, I need to ask a couple questions and such." I say to him as he showed me a plate of cookies.
"Sure, but first, have a cookie. It's snickerdoodle.~" He said than sang out.
^Well, it is my favorite.^ I thought as I took one.
"First, when did you loose your blue hue?" I asked him, pointing the cookie right at him.
"Oh, this morning I suppose." He tells me as he set the plate down.
"Milk?" He offered me.
"Sure, thank you." I say as he made me milk.
"Have you had any evil thoughts?" I asked him as he poured my milk into a pink Japanese kitten mug.
"No, none. In fact, I think crimes and hurting people is a big~ no no." He tells me, making my jaw drop. He was acting… Paternal.
"Chocolate, strawberry, honey or regular?" He asked me, snapping me out of it.
"Um, honey I guess." I say to him, trying to think of another question.
"Last question, when did all this start to happen?" I questioned him as he made me honey milk.
"Well, about yesterday morning after I woke up. Going against Kim Possible and wearing that Attitudinator wore me out." He tells me, having me nod.
"And was the helmet on before it broke?" I asked him as he gave me my milk.
"Well yes, but nothing bad happened… Right?" He asked me, seemingly worried.
"No, I think I know what happened." I say as I sipped my milk. My eyes widened at how it tasted.
"Oh my gosh, this is sweet!" I say before drinking half of it.
"Thanks, it's the fresh honey." He says as he walked back to his other batch of cookies. I took a bite and felt my knees go weak from it.
"Oh man, oh, can you let me have the recipe? I wanna send the recipe to Fin and Sid to make." I ask, explaining my reasoning before finishing my cookie and milk.
"Not a problem, you're just wonderful to be around." He tells me as he wrapped a hand knitted scarf around me, a yellow one. It felt warm.
"Thank you, I can now confirm what's wrong." I say happily before going to Shego.
"I should call Jack, I believe I know what's wrong but I need to double check." I say to her, cuddling into the very long scarf.
"Can you do it now, he's annoying!" She yelled at me, causing me to snap out of it.
"Right, sorry. It's just… Do we have to fix him?" I asked her, causing her to be dumbfounded.
"What?" She questioned me in shock.
"Well, he's calm, kind, less annoying in my opinion and, well, he's paternal. Honestly, he's a perfect SAHM." I tell her with a smile.
"A what?" She questioned me.
"Stay At Home Hubby. Think about it, you can go commit crimes and such, he can cook, clean, bake, knit, give back rubs and be a perfect assistant." I tell her in a matter-of-fact way. She went into thought about it, heavily considering it, but then violently shook her head no.
"No! Call Hench, now!" She ordered me, causing me to roll my eyes.
"Uhg, fine. But if I didn't know any better, I'd almost think you 'loved' School Bully evil Drakken." I say, giving her a wink as I turned and went right to the computer.
I knew that would fluster her, but it's obvious to me she likes him like that. He's nearly broke and can barely afford Shego, so that's the only thing I can think of. I was going to call, when an incoming call came in. Shego came over and answered it, causing Jack to be on screen.
"Good afternoon, Shego. Oh, Gogo, I didn't expect you to be here." Jack was serious until he saw me, which caused him to smile.
"Hey Uncle, I was just about to call you." I say with a smile.
"Oh, then I take it you know. I'm calling to say how terribly sorry Hench Co is about the 'unfortunate mishap'." Jack says to us.
"Wait, I'm confused. What mishap?" Shego questioned, starting to get annoyed but was curious for now.
"Let me guess, whomever attacked him caused the helmet to break and give Drakken all his 'good' while the other has all his 'bad' which increases their evil level and lowers their good to near nonexistent?" I questioned him, trying to confirm my theory.
"Well, yes that's right." Jack said, looking embarrassed it happened.
"Do you know who?" I questioned him, even though I knew who it was.
"A fellow named Zorpox." He tells me, making me tilt my head.
"The comic book villain? I doubt it, it was most likely Ron Stoppable who has it now." I say as everything clicked together for Shego.
"No wonder~ he's been acting strange." She muttered under her breath as I felt Drakken put a sweater on me.
I yelped a bit as I saw the sweater, it was pink and not my thing, but it had an adorable yellow duck on it, causing me to softly blush with a small smile.
"Thanks Dr. D." I say softly as I put my hands through it. It was cute. Then Jack got a slip of paper.
"Hey, wait! Your check bounced!" Jack scolded, causing Shego to reach over to turn off communication. I quickly stopped her, though.
"I'll cover it, just send me an email of how much and I'll even add extra for a sorry." I tell him, causing his anger to go away and smile instead.
"At least I can trust you, I'll be waiting." He said as Shego broke free and turned off the communication.
"I swear, you have a way of getting on villains good sides." She tells me in annoyance.
"It's a gift, I suppose." I say with a shrug, enjoying the sweater Drakken made me.
"Don't you dare turn nice on me!" She hissed out at me.
"Oh please, I'm just enjoying the handmade sweater. Listen, can't we just keep him like this and I pay you for the crimes?" I asked her, kinda wanting the useless villain to stay as the useful SAHM. I then felt my ear getting pulled as she called for Drakken.
"Ow, ow, ow." I muttered out in mild pain before I was let go.
"Stop saying cocoa moo!" Shego yelled at Drakken, causing me to giggle as I rubbed my ear. She then started dragging him to me, then grabbed me and dragged me too.
"Wait, why am I being dragged?" I questioned her.
"You can keep him distracted while I locate Kim's stupid sidekick." She said in annoyance, causing my arms to become crossed over my chest and a pout on my face.
"Meanie, that wasn't the agreement." I pouted as Drakken didn't know what to do. Before I knew it, we were in the hover jet looking for Ron Stoppable.
"Do you even know where he is?" I asked as Drakken was knitting something else.
"No, but besides distracting Dr D, why do you think I brought you?" She asked this, but made it sound like a statement.
"Oh gee, thanks. Go Tower all over again." I muttered with my arms crossed, pouting. This caused Shego to look right at me, guilt in her eyes but scorned.
"Just get up here." She told me, causing me to roll my eyes but comply. Once up there, I used my cube to pull out my locater device before looking up Stoppable in Middleton. It was a Saturday, so the school location was out.
"Listen, I'm sorry I said that, but you're faster at this than I am. I didn't mean it the way I did." She said in an apologetic tone.
"I was teasing about Go Tower, I know you didn't mean it like they would." I tell her as something interesting popped up.
"Stoppable Wedding. Bingo, he's there. Locking in location." I say as I plugged it into the GPS before leaning back.
"All set, we should arrive within 30 minutes, 27.8 minutes to be exact." I say as I enjoyed the fresh air. It's been wonderful weather, lately.
"Excellent, now to get there." She said before Drakken got between us.
"Can we get something to eat?" He asked us, causing Shego to growl in annoyance.
"Food sounds good, I haven't had lunch yet." I added in, deciding now was a good time to eat.
"No, we need to get there-" She started, but I used my device to take over and start driving. Shego started sputtering in shock and anger before glaring at me.
"The wedding starts in an hour, so don't worry about it. Trust me, a meal will help you feel less cranky." I say as I guided us to Middleton.
"Uhg, fine. Just pick a place." She growled and yelled before leaning back, pouting that she lost.
"You pick, Drakken." I say with a smile, happy I won.
"How about Bueno Nacho?" Drakken questioned me.
"I haven't had there in a long while, so yeah." I say happily before going down to the parking lot.
"Hey, there's no drive through!" Shego yelled, but I ignored her. I took down orders before going inside where I saw a familiar face behind the counter.
"Hey there, been a while." I say to Ned, remembering he was one of my first clients. See, I still chat nerd with him once in a while and even play a couple online games with him.
"Hey there, how's it been?" Ned asked me in a friendly manner. Honestly, he either knew I was a villain and ignored it, or he didn't realize it one bit.
"Been good. I just need everything on this list to go, please." I say with a smile.
"Sure thing, that'll be $31.88." He says with a smile. I opened my wallet, frowning I didn't have small bills but shrugged.
"Sorry, I don't have small bills, so you can keep the change as a tip." I tell him as I give him a $100. He gasped at this, then did the check to see if it was real. It was.
"Are you sure?" He asked me, being cautious on this.
"I'm sure, no worries." I say with a laid back smile.
He placed it the register before making the food as fast as possible. I opened my phone, sent a message to Hench over what he wanted done with the helmet. He replied, saying he wants me to wait on paying for it to see if they still want the broken product after. Fair point. After I replied I saw the bagged food in front of me, then a small bag next to it. I curiously peaked in to see Churros, 6 of them.
"On the house for a good tip." Ned said happily, causing a smile to grow on my face.
"Thanks Ned, I'll enjoy them." I say before grabbing the bags, then headed back to the hover. I got in the back as I gave her a small bag of food, then ate my food with Drakken.
"What're you knitting?" I asked him, pointing to his new project.
"Gloves that turns to mittens, socks and a hat." He says happily, causing me to smile.
"How do you know how to do this?" I asked him before eating a churro.
"Oh, something my mom taught me from my childhood." He says before finishing his food.
"Makes sense." I say as I was finishing my churros.
^I wonder what mom and dad would keep teaching me if they were alive.^ I thought to myself before taking off my scarf. It was a bit warm out. Drakken finished quickly before handing me everything.
"Think of it as a late Christmas gift." He said with a smile before Shego called him up.
^Aw,~ so sweet. Damn it, why can't we keep him as is? I mean, how evil can Ron Stoppable be?^ I thought as I put everything, sweater included after removing it, into my infinity cube.
We get there and go right through the roof, which seemed to have a couple holes in it already, then seeing a giant plasma ray with multiple lasers that works like a wheel/catapult type style and seems to be made out of a vintage big wheel tricycle and other parts.
"Ooh!~" I marveled with stars in my eyes over the work of art in front of me.
"Come on, Stoppable. You're coming with us." Shego stood up, pointing a finger at him as she made her demand.
"Um, if you don't mind terribly." Drakken said meekly with a nervous chuckle after.
"Look, Ron has Drakken's evil and Drakken has Ron's good, so we need to swap them back. I don't want to, but whatever. Also, who made the amazing plasma ray?" I explained then questioned.
"Gogo! Not. Now." Shego yelled at me before growling.
"I did, and no one commands me. No one!" A blue Ron, dressed as Zorpox, said then yelled before pushing multiple buttons on his remote, causing the rays to aim at us.
Shego moved us away, then I jumped out of it right at Ron. I kicked the remote out of his hand, then caught it before turning it off. Once I did that, I glared at him before pointing a finger.
"Don't shoot at my sister!" I say in anger, eyes flaring with my yellow to show I meant business.
"Ron, evil isn't your thing. It's Drakken's." Kim yelled at him.
"But I'm so much better at it than him! Did Drakken ever build a plasma raygun like mine?!" Ron yelled out and made a point. I calmed down before turning to Shego and Drakken.
"Did you?" I asked Drakken.
"Mmm, I did not." Drakken said, though I couldn't tell if he was shameful or not.
"Then why switch them back?" I questioned Shego, who thought about it.
"You're right, who knew the buffoon had it in him. Later Dr. Do-nothing!" Shego said before dropping Drakken out of the craft. I turned back to Ron, a wicked smile on my face.
"You're ours, now." I say before picking him up, putting him over my shoulder. Drakken let out a yelp as he fell 15 feet. I jump down and use my cube to suck up the machine before looking at Drakken.
"Sorry." I say, thankful Kim had tossed a bowl of potato salad at him to soften the blow before Shego swooped us up. Off we went, out to Drakken's lair. I put Ron in a seat, buckled him in before looking at Shego, a smug smile on my face.
"Don't." She told me, knowing what I was going to say.
"Don't, what?" I questioned her.
"I know what you're doing. Just, don't say it." She told me as she flew faster.
"What, that I was right?" I asked her, causing her to scream in annoyance.
"Well, she is the smart one." Ron pointed out, his tone was smug and fearless. We both turned and looked at him in shock, then Shego pointed at him.
"Not a word from you, either." She tells him before looking at me.
"Where am I dropping you off?" She asked me, causing me to smile.
"Nowhere, I wanna see this." I say happily, leaning back and smiling over this.
"Besides, I got a new plasma ray gun I can admire, so this is more of a bonus." I add in joy.
"How dare you steal from me!" Ron yelled out, but I put a finger over his mouth to shush him.
"Too loud, plus you should be lucky I didn't destroy it. I mean, how could I do that to an amazing and beautiful piece of machine?" I say, turning over after saying what I mean, to look at Ron in his face from the back.
I know, originally it was a three seater with a small back, but I sent Drakken blueprints and parts for Christmas, as well as one other little gift, so he could upgrade this to have better speed and more room. Ron then smiled at this.
"I guess being evil helped unlock my true genius." Ron said with an evil grin.
"Perhaps, though I'm curious of one thing. Why the Zorpox costume? Waiting until you find something better suited?" I questioned him, curiosity getting the better of me.
"It suits my evil for now." He said bluntly, then he grabbed my chin.
"Is it to your liking, Princess?" He asked me, causing me to go wide eyed and blush at the nickname he gave me.
"I, well, I, um." I was stumbling over my words, something I never thought Ron Stoppable would have me do.
"Hey, whoa whoa, hands off the sister." Shego jumped in, taking his hand off of my chin. I snapped out of it, seeing Ron scowl at Shego but obliged as I sat normally.
^What just happened?^ I thought to myself before my past words echoed in my head.
'If you were evil and smarter as well as older, then I'd consider it.'
I mentally smacked myself, remembering those words and why I said them.
^He took me seriously, I know he did.^ I thought to myself. Once we arrived, Ron declared he was going to explore 'his' lair before rushing off.
"Shego, I think I messed up." I told her, feeling like I should be scared of the monster we created.
"Why, because the buffoon flirted with you?" She asked me in a dull tone, hearing Ron laughing fiendishly in the process.
"Well, besides the fact he remembered my words, that I'd consider him cuter if he was an evil genius villain and older, I think he might be a danger to us if we're not careful." I say to her, seeing Ron's shadow every now and then. He could move fast when he needed to.
"I doubt it, he's still a buffoon." She said to me in a dull tone, rolling her eyes as she crossed her arms.
"No, he's bold. I think he doesn't have morals anymore." I warned her, remembering seeing his eyes when he held my chin. They seemed psychotic more than evil.
"Scared?" She asked me in a mocking tone. I looked right at her, she looked smug now.
"No, just cautious." I tell her, defending myself as I mirrored her. We then heard Ron's fiendish laugh once more, louder than before, causing Shego to cover her ears in annoyance.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay. Okay, enough. Point made. You got the villain laugh down." Shego said before looking up at where he was, then moved her hands as she looked up at the ceiling. Yup, she was annoyed. Last time I saw that look was at Go Tower, thanks to Hego, and Mego at times.
"Give it a rest, would ya?" She asked him in annoyance, looking his way once more. She was playing with fire at this point.
"Do your eyes criticize!" Ron glared at her, voice raised as he was showing dominance.
"I think she just wants to 'see' results due to Drakken constantly failing." I defend her, getting closer to her side in order to help if things got physical.
"Exactly! So far you've been chuckling up a storm with nothing to show for it." She said in annoyance as Ron climbed down the ladder.
"Shego, chill." I whisper to her, but she gave me the 'Don't, I'm the older one.' look. I could only sigh, my warning went right through her as Ron gave her an annoyed look.
"I'm just warming up. Check it." He says to her, and I guess me as well since I'm here, before Ron smirks and moves one hand up to activate the hologram, showing us Earth.
"The annihilator has been set to go off in 5 minutes. When it does, quakes are gonna shake the world to pieces." He said to us, then started his fiendish laugh once more but was cut off when Shego pinched his lips together in annoyance.
"So~ done with that.~" She told him, making him look like a duck as she pulled his lips out. She then let him go as a thought came to mind.
"Wait, how does this help us? We'll be shaken up, too." She asked, pointing out the flaw.
"Note to self, make a moon base for emergencies like this." I say quietly to myself as Ron used his arm to rub his sore mouth.
"It'll never get that far." Ron suddenly said, causing my sister to tilt her head in confusion while I rolled my eyes a little bit.
"Let me guess, the world will surrender to you first?" I question him, causing him to turn and glare at me. "Must you spoil the surprise?" Ron asked me in a dull tone, causing me to shrug.
"But yes, the world will surrender to me. Not us. Me!" He said happily before before glaring at Shego.
"You're just the hired help." He taunts before walking off.
"Oh, and your sister here is a guest, I suppose." Ron added nonchalantly as Shego had a wide eyed look.
"Oh, really?" She questioned, her face turning to a familiar 'I'm gonna blast you' anger look I've seen many times.
"Technically, he's right." I point out, having a bad feeling about Ron right now. He was more than evil right now, he seemed crazy.
"At least one of you has enough braincells to not argue with me." Ron taunted more, baiting my sister into attacking.
Well, he got his wish. She threw a plasma ball at him, but then he hit a button on his belt. This caused a shield to appear, shocking my sister and causing me to sigh.
"That's the energy buckle I made Drakken for Christmas. Guess he didn't bother with it." I say, slightly sad my work was wasted on that buffoon but impressed Ron knew, both what it was and how to use it.
"I found it in a trunk, that fool probably didn't even know how to use it! Such a waste of your talents, Gogo." He said before fully turning to us, a look of crazy evil on his face.
"You should've seen the look on your face, though. You were all like, oh, like 'Pow Pow'! Then I was like, 'Zap zap'! And now you're all like, you're like, 'Boo-boo'!" He taunts, brags and laughs a bit in a sick, twisted joy before he opened the buckle, followed by pushing a button. In doing so, the floor opened up behind us, revealing green water and two shark fins. Bull sharks, from the looks of it.
"Sidekicks should know their place, right?" He asked Shego, then he glared at me.
"And you, you're now my other sidekick since sisters should 'stick together'. Unless, you want to take a dip?" He questioned, then gestured behind me. Shego and I looked at him in horror, then at each other, then behind us at the water, then at each other once more before back at him.
"Uh, yeah, uh… You got it." Shego said in fear. I might be bold and tough, but not stupid.
"Yeah, yeah… Definitely agree.~" I drone out a bit in fear.
"Okay. I'll just go check the security monitors. Hey, you know that evil laugh of yours?" She asked before chuckling in nervousness.
"I love it!" She exaggerated with another nervous chuckle as she walks to me.
"We should, um, both watch. More eyes, ya know?" She said as she grabbed my arm.
"Nope, she's smarter than you and you two will plot against me. Gogo, I want you close by." Ron stopped us, causing Shego to let me go while looking horrified.
Sadly, he was right.
"I'll be fine." I tell her as I look right at her.
I looked tough right now, but she saw in my eyes I was scared. If I could defuse the buckle or machine without him knowing, then we might have minor leverage against him. I think she knew what I thought, or a rough idea, because she then nodded.
As I walked forward, with her walking behind me to the cameras, I put both my hands behind my back before tapping my index fingers together.
Why?
Well, I never go unprepared. If I tapped my fingers a certain way, then I could activate my new electro-gloves. I had wanted to test them out, since they would work just as good as a tazer without carrying the bulky ones about and loose them. Now, I just had to get close enough to use them.
"What about Kim Possible?" I ask him once I was close enough to him, still being scared but acting submissive to him as I was preparing myself. He smiled as he posed.
"I'm ready for you, Kim Possible. Bring!" He said before laughing he fiendishly crazy laugh.
"Do you think your plan to shake up the planet will work? I mean, Drakken has good ideas, but sometimes his machines fail." I tell him, feeling my gloves had enough of a charge to them.
Ron looked right at me, a questioning look on his face. This made me shiver in fear.
Why?
It was almost as if, with his eyes, he was deciding if I meant it or if I was questioning his plan as defiance. The cold look made me feel like my soul might leave my body just to hide. He then smiled, a crazy yet deadly smile that scared me more.
"I can assure you, this will work." He said, strutting towards me. I only stood still, trying my best to stand my ground instead of backing up to the sharks. "Though I'm sure Kim Possible will fail as well, I will add this." He said, grabbing my wrists from behind me and yanked them in front of me, his smile more wicked as my face went into full blown fear. "You'll never succeed in backstabbing me, Gogo." He said before tapping my fingers together the same way I did before. "H-how did you-" I started asking in fear, but he just laughed. "You think I'm a fool? I know you, I know your mind by now. Why do you think I'm keeping you close?" He asked before he let me go. He then pushed a button on his belt, causing my suit to lightly spark before he went in my pocket, taking my phone, wallet and cube. "You won't need these, and now you're defenseless against me!" He taunted with a dark laugh, showing just how smart he was. I started shaking in fear, something hard to do. "Now, fetch me a sandwich." He tells me, turning around and waving his hand to wave me off. "Wh-what kind?" I stuttered out, completely terrified of him at this point. He put his finger on his chin before turning to me. "Whatever meat and cheese is there, with tomatoes and extra pickles, white bread and mustard on it." He says before looking forward. "R-right away." I say before hurrying off. Without my tech, I'm in a bit of trouble. While I can fight, he has the higher ground until Kim arrives.
^For once, I hope Kim Possible stops this plan without any problems.^ I thought as I felt like my old, younger self.
Powerless.
Kim Possible's POV
I was nearing Ron's location when I suddenly heard my Kimmunicator chime. I opened it, Wade then appeared.
"I got word from Hench that the helmet might have a side effect of turning the fully evil person insane." Wade tells me, making my anxiety grow.
"Do you think it's happening to him?" I asked Wade, hoping it wasn't.
"It most likely is." He tells me, causing me to turn pale.
"Wade, what happens if he losses his mind completely?" I asked him, worried my hunch would be right.
"Then it might be too late. But since Drakken's here and Gogo's there, then we'll have a shot at getting this fixed. It's a long shot, though." He tells me, causing me to sigh.
Why can't these thing be simple?
"So, what's the bad news?" I asked him as Drakken followed suit. I set up climbing gear and got down a cliff as Wade had been typing.
"Well, all of Drakken's evil, plus the small part of Ron's are all in Ron while all the good from both are in Drakken. If we adjust the setting, then both should go back to normal." Wade explained as Drakken had fallen behind me, then played with Rufus. Honestly, I didn't want him evil, but Ron being evil was worse.
"I guess we have no choice." I say as I ended the call. I turned and went to talk to Drakken, hoping he'd understand what needed to be done.
Ron Stoppable's POV
I had just finished the food and soda Gogo brought me, happy to have some food in my system as I looked at my watch.
^Kim possible should be here any moment, now.^ I thought with a sadistic glee.
I looked right at Shego, who looked bored, then at Gogo who seemed meek. I guess I frightened her enough to be submissive. I remembered how she seemed back as a hero, remembering her story, understanding that if I made her seem helpless, she'd revert back to her old self. It also helped I was blue, just like Hego. I snapped my fingers, causing Gogo to look right at me.
"Rub my shoulders, I feel tense." I ordered her, wondering how far I could get her to listen.
"I, don't think I should." She said as she looked away.
"You dare to disobey me?" I asked her sternly, showing my dominance.
"It's just, well, if Kim Possible arrives, you should be prepared instead of too relaxed." She softly countered.
She was right, I do need to be prepared. I just didn't want to be proven wrong. I stood up and quickly went to her, ready to show her fear, but that was when my belt beeped to indicate Kim Possible arrived near here.
"Well, I suppose I'll let you off with a warning this time." I tell her in a venomous tone, causing her to slightly relax in relief from this.
I didn't like this, so I hit a button and trapped her in a small, spherical prison like the shield I had. She gasped and pounded on the walls, then opened her mouth to speak mute words, but I leaned in, putting my hand to my ear.
"What was that? I can't seem to hear you in this prison. If Kim Possible is here, then you'll be able to fix the helmet she plans to use on me. I can't let you do that now, can I?" I questioned her, causing her to gasp in shock at the realization I outsmarted her. I smiled wickedly at her, satisfied I had won.
"Looks like this King has taken the Queen, so we're close to a checkmate my dear." I taunt her before leaving her trapped in her place, smiling more as I went right to Shego. I had snuck up on her before appearing next to her, causing her to jump in fear/surprise from this.
"Whoo-hoo! We've got an intruder!~" I say in a fiendishly sing-song tone, nearly giggling at how I had scared her.
"Kim Possible! Get ready a smackdown in my town." I say fiendishly, proud of my awesome rhyming skills. Shego gave me a look, a calm yet confused one before looking at the cameras. Her confusion became more visible, as did her frustration.
"She's not on the monitors. How do you know?" She asked as I was walking away from her, knowing full well she turned to look at me.
"Doing a little scannage for the kimmunicator's frequency." I tell her in a matter-of-fact tone, yet again proud of my genius. Shego then grunt in annoyance, causing me to look right at her.
"Now, why didn't he ever think of that?" Shego questioned in annoyance, looking up at the ceiling with an annoyed look.
Hearing her talk about Drakken, even not naming him specifically angered me. I was nothing like Drakken, I was better than him!
"That's why I'm the big dog." I tell her, getting in her face and being smug about it.
"Woof woof, bark!" I added in her face, making the work bark loud enough to startle her backwards far enough to tilt the chair back ant onto the floor, with her crashing as well.
^That'll teach her.^ I thought smugly, watching her rub the sore parts of her body before looking around.
"Get ready to 'greet' her." I order her, my tone growing dark.
"Where's Gogo?" She asked me, then she had a look of fear as she saw the dark look on my face.
"I can't have her helping Kim Possible, so I have her trapped. Don't worry, she's safe. For now." I tell her, implying a subtle threat to her. She seemed to understand, since she nodded, before I turned and walked off.
^Now then, Kimberly, let's see if you can defeat me.^ I thought wickedly as I prepared myself.
Gogo's POV
I couldn't break out, I couldn't get any sounds out, I was trapped.
"I can't believe it! How could I fall for this trap?! How did I not think he'd do this?! Uhg!" I shouted in rage, eyes glowing yellow as I punched the barrier, but it didn't even crack. I could see Kim and Ron interacting, as well as my sister, but I couldn't hear them. I calmed down as I tried to think.
"If I was able to go high enough of a pitch, perhaps the barrier would shatter." I thought out loud as I saw Drakken.
I pounded on the barrier, trying to get his attention. He couldn't hear me, but then he hid and looked my way, noticing me. I pointed to him and then where my cube was.
"Get the cube!" I say, making sure he could read my lips.
He looked and pointed at my cube. I nodded yes, to which he grabbed it. I was playing charades at this point, having him open my cube to pull out something I never thought I'd have used.
A dog whistle.
Once he got it, after a few failed attempts, before showing him to use it. He nodded, using it long enough to crack before shattering the barrier. I quickly went to him, hugging him and kissing his cheek.
"Thank you, Drakken!" I quietly shouted in joy, felling relief as he blushed from this.
"We need to get this on Ron." Drakken tells me, showing me the nearly fixed helmet.
"I trust you, I'll help distract." I say, ready to help, but then he stopped me.
"Wait." Drakken said, causing me to stop and look at him.
"I know I need to go back to bad and I know you'll miss this me, but..." Drakken started, but then trailed off from his words. I wondered what he was thinking, then he slipped a handmade friendship bracelet on my wrist.
"Can we still be… Besties?" He questioned me, sadness in his puppy eyes. I felt my eyes water a bit, never really having a bestie before, minus Shego as being close to one.
"Drakken..." I say before smiling, pulling him into a hug.
"Yes, we can still be besties. I never had one, minus Shego, so we can be." I say, putting my hand out with only my pinkie out. He smiled and did the same, making a pinkie promise.
"Can you just check something for me?" He asked me, doubting his work.
"I can tell you did well in the short amount of time." I tell him, but he shook his head and showed me the back.
"There's something wrong here, I don't want anyone hurt if it's like that." He tells me, causing me to look in it.
"I see the problem, it's nothing big but I think fixing it might fix the 'going crazy' issue." I say as Drakken nodded.
"Was it from the fight?" He asked as I fixed it.
"No, this was a manufacturing error. Well, not anymore." I say as I turned it on.
"We have one shot, so I'll help distract him and get him closer to you." I say to him, causing him to nod.
I had a personal bone to pick with him. I saw Shego and Kim seemed to be defeated as Ron laughed victoriously.
"Stoppable!" I shouted, catching his attention.
"How'd you get out?!" Ron shouted at me, trying to show his dominance. It wasn't working, not this time.
"I could care less about your plans, I could care less you beat Kim, heck I could care less you're evil. Not only you hurt my sister, but you dare to trap me?! You dare to make me inferior?! You're going down, Stoppable!" I shouted, eyes pure yellow from rage as I was showing no fear. The numbers were on my side, he had yet to know this.
"Bring it on, Goldilocks!" He shouted, ready to fight me.
I noticed his stance was like Monkey Fists, knowing it was Monkey Style. I lunged at him, he lunged right back at me, causing us to fight. Punches and kicks were thrown, each one dodged with ease. I got the belt buckle off him, tossing it to the side with a smile.
"Let's see if you can beat me without tech." I say with a smirk, causing him to become enraged.
"Fine, then you'll submit when I defeat you!" He yelled, showing how crazy he was becoming. He was dangerously~ close to 100% crazy.
^Gotta move fast.^ I thought as I saw Rufus had gone to help Kim and Shego.
See, they had been trapped in small nets thanks to Ron, but I barely noticed until now. I forced Ron to where he needed to be, but that's when he punched me in my stomach, causing me to wince before he tripped me. I was now on my butt, holding my stomach with one hand as he looked right at me, a wicked smile on his face.
"Seems like I've won!" He taunts at me, his left eye twitching from how crazy he had become.
"No, you didn't. You fell for my trap." I tell him, a smug smirk on my face, causing him to look confused.
"You've been a bad boy." I heard Drakken behind Ron before he placed the helmet on Ron.
There was blue and red auras, some shaking and shocks before a bright light that only lasted 1 second. I looked at both boys sitting on the floor, Drakken was blue once more and Ron looked normal. Kim went over and pulled a lever as Drakken was helped up by Shego. I got up, dusted myself off as Drakken and Shego argued before Drakken started taunting Kim on being evil.
"Enough!" I shout out, causing all to look at me. I picked up the helmet and gave it to Kim.
"You can take him and leave!" I say loudly, pointing right at Ron. I then went over and was quick to 'mildly' destroy the weather machine.
"And you, no evil for now!" I shout at Drakken and Shego, causing them to flinch a bit. I then looked at all of them.
"No crimes committed on their end, all is normal, right?!" I yell at them all. Kim and Shego looked at one another before back at me.
"Yeah." Both girls say in unison.
"Good, end of it. I just want to go home, now." I say as I went to where my cube, wallet, cell phone and dog whistle were.
"If any of you fight, I'll come back and, believe me, you all don't want that." I say right to them.
"Right.~ We'll be leaving now." Kim said, grabbing Ron who grabbed Rufus before jet packing out of there.
Drakken whined about his machine before Shego went to get the hover craft ready. I took a few breaths before going over to Drakken. He seemed both mad at me for breaking the machine, but scared I was gonna hurt him.
"Be mad all you want, but I'm sure your lab would've been destroyed if I didn't do that." I told him in a calm tone, posing the same way Shego tends to. Drakken went to argue back, but he stopped and realized I was right.
"Wait, so, you did that for me?" He asked me, causing me to nod.
"Consider it a 'sorry for ditching you' type of thing." I tell him, causing him to pout.
"Fine, I'll forgive you." He tells me in a pouty tone, causing me to smile.
"You should sell your knitted items, they're quite nice. A side hustle tends to do well when funding the 'evil machines to take over the world' stuff you do." I advise him, causing him to look at me. I lightly smiled before hearing Shego call me over.
"Later." I say before walking off. Shego thanked me as we landed by my bike.
"Let's have a girls day sometime soon." I tell her with a smile, missing our bonding moments.
"Sounds fun, how 'bout next Saturday?" She asked me.
"Sounds good to me." I say with a smile before she left.
I went to my bike and drove off, using my helmet to make a few calls. Once back home, I took the bag away from Fin before getting to work. It took me a couple hours, but I finished it and went to my lab.
"The machine is ready for testing, miss." Sid informed me, showing me a transporter.
I made a transporter to send items to coordinates much easier than mail, especially with the new package checkpoints being enforced.
The drawbacks?
It can only go one way, so I cannot receive through it unless others have more. The other one? No living creatures can go through.
Why?
They'll either disintegrate or be turned inside out. Technology is yet to be advanced enough for teleportation, but I'm hoping it will be soon. I locked in the coordinated before the item was sent. All I had to do was wait patiently for my phone call.
I went into my room, thanking the boys before hand. Once inside, I avoided the sleeping puppies as I stripped. Once I got into black pajama pants with little yellow stars on it and a black tank top with a big yellow star on the front, I sat in bed with my phone near me as I looked at my bracelet. It was black and yellow weaved with a black gem charm on it. I admired the hand made friendship bracelet until I got a call.
"Go for Gogo." I answer, already knowing who it was.
Dr. Drakken's POV
I grumbled a bit, unable to properly fix the weather machine as I got to my room. Once there, I took off my gloves and coat before seeing a light. I yelped as the light sparked before showing something on my bed. I was cautious with my approach before opening the package.
It was a note and a hand weaved bracelet. Light blue, dark blue and black weaved with a silver charm on it. I looked closer and noticed the charm was of the world, flattened to look like a cylinder map.
'Here's a friendship bracelet I made for you, hope you like it. ~Gogo.' The note said.
I then noticed a card and took it, reading it then gasping as it was her number. I fidgeted with the card a bit before taking my phone to call the number.
"Go for Gogo." I heard after 2 rings.
"How'd you do that?" I asked her, curious about how she made these items teleport.
"Glad to know you got it, I wasn't sure if it could make the distance. Well, I made a one way teleporter to transport my items with ease to other locations. I will try to make more, but this wasn't easy to do." I heard Gogo explain to me on the other end. Her intelligence and machines never cease to amaze me.
"Fair enough, but why make me a bracelet?" I questioned her.
"You made me one, so now we have a matching pair… Sort of." She tells me, sounding slightly embarrassed.
I felt my cheeks turn a mix of dark blue and pink from my blush as I smiled. She really was something, just like Shego but in a different way.
"Besties." I say to her.
"Besties." She replied back, a smile sounded in her voice.
"Also, I have parts being sent your way to repair your weather machine, as an apology for the overkill damage I did." She told me, her tone seemed shy, apologetic and matter-of-fact all at once. I was shocked, she didn't have to do that yet she did.
"You didn't have to." I said to her, sounding both shocked and happy she did that.
"It's ok. Plus, it's also a thank you for the stuff you made me. I'm not a fan of pink, but it's nice." She tells me, causing me to smile.
"Also, can I tell you something? A secret even my sister doesn't know?" She asked me quietly, causing my to beam at how she was opening up to me.
"Yes, please. It'll be safe with me, I promise." I tell her, actually meaning it, too.
"Well… I actually love ducks." She tells me, seeming to sound shy as she admits that.
"So do I!" I tell her, happy to know I wasn't the only one.
"Is it bad I go to a park near me and feed the ducks there?" She asked me.
"Not at all." I tell her, smiling at the thought of her feeding them.
"I even name them, they recognize me and even come when I call their names." She tells me.
"Really?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I was sold a flute to call birds, so I tested it on a duck. Since then, the others just naturally show up. I even met the new babies two of them have." She tells me, her voice was quiet but excited.
"Aww,~ I bet they're cute." I coo over the thought of ducklings.
She then told me what she named all of them, how one named Darkwing was the first one to show up and the little army she got. We talked for a while about them, as well as a few other things before we ended the call. Honestly, having a friend I can talk to, especially with very little judgment was, actually, nice and refreshing.
^I just hope I don't mess this up.^ I thought, slipping on the bracelet before going to bed.
I hope you all enjoy this! Now, I was suggested a few things with this, which I'm grateful for. But I'm curious of one thing. Do any of you think Falsetto will escape from lockdown to seek revenge? I mean, even I'm not sure & I'M THE WRITER! Lol. Hope you all enjoy.
