Chapter 24:

Bueno Nacho:

Kim and Ron were currently on a date at Bueno Nacho.

"How is it having Shego living with you?"

Ron asked, taking a bite of his naco.

"It's been a little rough at times, but otherwise it's been going pretty well."

"That's good. And she hasn't done anything evil?"

"Surprisingly enough, no. I can't believe I'm saying this, but she's been pretty well behaved."

"Huh, I never thought you'd use the words well behaved when describing Shego. Still though, I'm glad she's not causing you or your family trouble."

"Yeah, same here."

At that moment Ron noticed that Kim looked a bit distracted.

"Is everything okay, KP?"

Ron asked, looking at his girlfriend with concern.

"Yeah, it's just…"

"Just what?"

"I'm worried about Shego?"

"You are? Why?"

"Well she left out earlier to get some fresh air, and before she left she looked like something was on her mind."

"Any idea what it could be?"

Kim shook her head.

"Well, she did lose her powers. Maybe she's not used to not having them yet."

"Yeah, maybe. But…"

"But what?"

"She has new powers."

At the mention of Shego having new powers Ron's jaw dropped, and he visibly paled.

"Oh no, are you serious?! This is bad KP, real bad!"

"Ron, relax!"

Kim yelled, trying to calm the frantic blond.

"Shego has new powers, but she doesn't use them."

This news surprised Ron, and he looked at Kim with a raised eyebrow.

"Wait, she has power and she's not using it? Why not?"

"I don't think she knows how to."

"Huh, well that's probably a good thing. The last thing we need is for her to go back to her evil ways."

Kim nodded her head in agreement.

"So, what's her new power?"

"She's able to produce black lightning."

"Seriously? That's actually pretty badical. How'd she get this power anyway?"

"I'm not sure, but I think it has to do with the ægishjálmur that's on her back."

"What now?"

"The ægishjálmur. It's a symbol of protection, and it's also known as the helm of awe."

"Oh, okay. How did she get it?"

Kim was about to answer, but then quickly decided against it.

"I somewhat have an idea, but I don't think she would be alright with me telling you."

"So, you and Shego have secrets now?"

Ron asked, sounding jealous.

Kim reached across the table, and gave Ron's hand a gentle squeeze.

"It's not so much we have secrets, but more like she told me some stuff and I don't think she'd be okay with me telling other people."

"Oh, okay. Well that's understandable."

Kim and Ron then spent the rest of their date talking about how other areas of their lives had been going, and what colleges they were considering applying to.

Meanwhile, Shego had returned to the Possible home and was in a less than stellar mood.

Possible Residence:

"Who the hell does Ayumi think she is? How dare she tell me that Kim doesn't care about me. She does care about me, she told me so herself."

Shego said, pacing around the guest room in frustration. Ayumi really knew how to piss her off.

"I need a drink...or ten."

Shego thought. She was pretty upset after the conversation she had with Ayumi, and she needed a way to calm herself down.

"Well drinking isn't an evil act, so I'm not breaking any rules."

With that thought in mind, Shego grabbed her coat and headed out to the nearest bar.
