It was late, every few minutes lightning flashed and thunder rolled shaking the person in the room to her very core as she stared at the golden watch in her hand. The lightning made the tear tracks on her cheek shine although the sobs had long since faded. How much trouble could one watch cause? A lot, apparently, if you were Kim Possible or Shego. Kim knew she would return the watch in the morning but Shego had yet returned to her. It was very early morning, Shego had been gone hours, Kim sighed ‘Guess I better get some sleep, I take this bag in the morning then go for another search for Shego.’ Thought Kim as laid back on the bed still clutching the watch in her hand, the same hand that had clutched Shego’s wrist when they were stuck and for once it didn’t feel strangely empty.
Shego
The lightning didn’t flash through the room that Shego stood in, although the thunder still graced her ears. Shego just stared at the blank monitor, silent while the women who had brought her to this place made various phone calls from the huge chair behind a heavy mahogany desk. This place reminded her of all the ‘secret’ lairs she and Drakken had occupied in their time together, scenes flashed behind her eyes although the static caused by the constantly bickering parts of her was still there but she had already become numb to the pain it caused.
Finally the phone got put down and stayed down, and the strange woman behind the desk sighed in relieve before getting up and approaching Shego, “So, Shelia I guess you’re wondering where this is and how I know I can help you with your, problem?”
All she got to show that Shego heard her was the shifting of the blank gaze from the monitor to her, “Well, I’m now known as Talon, but you might remember me from the time just after the comet?” Shego shook her head negatively, “Oh, you don’t? Well let’s just say I know a lot more about you then any other scientist can boast.” Talon walked round the desk and opened a draw and pulled out a fairly thick folder placing it on the desk and stroking the well worn cover. “In this I have everything on your genetic make-up, power limits and of course the things that react adversely to your mutated body. You are hyper-sensitive, or allergic, to a certain cocktails of chemicals but, unlike normal your allergy isn’t connected to a high number of immunoglobulin E in your blood, you seem to just react to it badly although the first sign is a physical reaction, the faint, the symptoms after that effect the brain although it isn’t always possible to determine how it will effect the brain but it did always affect the behavior. And hypothetically if you were exposed to enough of it in a short space of time it would be lethal to you but we obviously didn’t test that theory.” The woman laughed as Shego’s face moved from blank to confused and slightly angry.
“Well, can you fix me and tell me who did this to me, so I can do to them what they did to Dr. D?” asked Shego
“I can’t tell you who did it, unfortunately. But I should be able to fix you, if, you do a couple of jobs for me.” Stated Talon, her eye studying Shego’s face.
Oh lets just do it, then we, I can just get back to normal.But this woman is clearly not all there and involved in illegal activities, Kim might think. Oh you mean the Kim that won’t put out, yeah, that’s a good reason not to get this woman’s help, not! Jesus just do it, if you’re that desperate to get back to Kimmie at least go back not crazy. Maybe we don’t need this woman’s help, I’m sure that info has to be on some computer and Wade could find it then Kim could help me.
Talon interrupted Shego’s thoughts, “Just in case you’re wondering, Sheila, this particular file was never put on the computers, you see, it was my on private experiment and I didn’t want any of the other nosy doctors taking the credits for my findings and then I got fired for, personal reasons and decided not to share. I am the only one who can help you get rid of them, Sheila.”
The oddly blank look came to Shego’s face again as she answered, “Fine, what jobs do you want me to do?”
Kim
The rhythmic bleeping of the Kimunicator woke Kim from a deep, dreamless sleep, “Hey Wade, what you got?” said Kim rubbing her eyes and stifling a yawn.
“Well, it seems Team Go has greatly improved their security from the last incident, but it seems like they never faced a organised group of criminals like WEE, all of their arch-nemesis’s are weirdly themed like Aviarius and all work on their own. Oh, thought you might like to know, a watch got stolen from a local shop and”
“I know” Kim interrupted, “Shego did it, she gave it to me, I’ll return it in a minute and Wade could you try and look for Shego for me again, she ran off again.”
Wade looked sympathetic, “Yeah sure, Kim, I’ll call if I find her but what will you do if we do find her?” asked Wade
Kim looked grim, “I don’t know Wade, I just don’t know.” Kim pressed the disconnect button on the Kimunicator before Wade could answer. She quickly washed up and changed into mission clothes and set out to return the watch.
“Oh, thank you! This is one of our most exclusive items, we can’t thank you enough for returning it to us undamaged.”
Kim smiled slightly, trying not to show her discomfort and apparently succeeding according to the store clerks demeanor, “It was not trouble, I’m just sorry I didn’t get the thieve.”
“Oh I’m sure you’ll catch you ever did it Ms. Possible.” The clerk waved, the smile he was wearing threatening to crack his face in two as Kim walked out of the store.
Just as she was about to enter the hotel lobby the Kimunicator beeped, Wade was looking down when she answered it, “I’ve found her Kim, she just broken into a lab just outside of Go city, I’m sorry.”
Kim shook her head fighting tears, “Don’t be Wade, just get me a ride, I will find out what’s happening now, I won’t let her not tell me the truth.” Kim plunked herself on a bench outside the hotel waiting for a ride to pick her up and take her to, what she hoped would be her answer, feeling her heart break as her trust in Shego finally started to fail.
