Chapter 15:

Drakken's Lair:

Kim and Ron stared at the lair in front of them, or rather what was left of it.

"Come on, KP, let's get going."

Ron said, grabbing Kim by the arm and pulling her away from the wreckage. However, Kim pulled away from him and began walking towards the pile of debris. If she had turned around, she would've seen the look of hurt on Ron's face.

"We'll go in a minute, I need to make sure Shego's okay."

Ron took note of Kim only mentioning checking on Shego, and he felt a twinge of jealousy. However, he quickly pushed down the feeling.

"What am I worried about? KP loves me."

Ron then followed Kim through the wreckage, being careful not to trip over anything. After a few moments, he made it over to where Kim was. There, he saw her helping Shego sit up.

"Shego, are you alright?"

Kim asked, unable to hide the concern in her voice.

"I'm fine, just a little banged up is all."

Shego said. She then tried to stand, but almost fell back down, due to the pain she was in. Kim quickly reached out, and held her up right.

"Woah, easy there. Come on, I'll help you out of here."

Kim said, draping one of Shego's arms over her shoulders. She then wrapped her arm around Shego's waist, and began walking her out of the lair. Shego wanted to protest, but she was in too much pain to do so.

"I guess I should just be glad it's not GJ hauling me away."

Shego thought, continuing to let Kim lead her out of the lair. Once outside, Kim laid Shego on the ground, and pulled out her kimmunicator.

"KP, what are you doing?"

Ron asked.

"I'm gonna do a scan on Shego. I want to make sure she doesn't have any broken bones."

With that said, Kim pressed a few buttons on her kimmunicator, and held it over Shego. A few seconds later, a beam of light shot out and ran up and down Shego's body. After the scan had been completed, Kim spoke.

"Well, you don't have any broken bones, but you'll probably be sore for a few days."

Kim then helped Shego stand up, and turned her attention to Ron.

"I'll give you a ride home in the sloth, then I'll take Shego back to my place."

Kim said, punching a command into her kimmunicator. As she was doing so, she was unaware of the look of confusion on her boyfriend's face.

"Wait a minute, you're taking her back to your place? But why?"

"We had a deal. As long as she doesn't do anything illegal, she can stay with me, and I won't call GJ and have them haul her away."

Kim said, watching as the sloth came into view. Ron was about to say something else, when Shego spoke.

"What's the matter, Stoppable, don't like me staying with your girlfriend?"

"As a matter of fact no, I don't."

"Well, too bad. Sure, I don't necessarily like being surrounded by so many goody two shoes, but it's better than being in a cramped cell."

"Well a cramped cell is where people like you belong."

Ron said, glaring at the pale skinned woman.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Shego snarled, taking a step closer to the blond man.

"You know exactly what it means."

Ron spat, taking a step closer as well.

Shego looked ready to tear Ron limb from limb, but luckily Kim intervened.

"That's enough, you two!"

Ron and Shego turned their attention to the redheaded teen.

"Look, let's just get going. And I'd appreciate it if the two of you didn't kill each other on the way home."

With that said, Kim headed towards the sloth, followed by Ron and Shego.
