It began just as any other day. In fact, one could have said that it had began rather well. Nothing out of the ordinary had happened, and the sun was shining just as it always was.
It was a great day.
Need I go so far as to say it was a perfect day.
A wonderful day.
A beautiful day.
A day to avoid all possible human contact.
These thoughts were those of a certain pale skinned beauty as she walked into work that morning. Shego couldn’t shake off the foreboding feeling that something just wasn’t going to work in her favor. Or work at all for that matter.
So when she entered Drakken’s laboratory and found that, not only was he not present, the entire place was empty, one couldn’t blame her for being suspicious.
Shego did not like surprises.
And she hadn’t receive any sort of note about a moving date.
So this was obviously a surprise.
“Dr. D,” She called, hearing her own voice echoing through the endless, now empty, halls. Even Dr. Drakken’s failed experiments and ones he hadn’t touched for months on end were gone from the old evil base of operations.
Either I missed something very important, or Kimmie’s been here… The thought that Kim Possible may have paid a visit somehow and been to the laboratory to clean it out while Shego was away was disappointing to the green skinned woman. She’d missed a fight? With Kim Possible? No way. It was blasphemy.
As Shego continued to search the hallways and thousands of other useless secret rooms for any sort of answers to the disappearance of her employer she came to a note and lifting it off from the table she leaned back, like a cat ready to pounce and scanned the scribbled rushed writing that must have come from Dr. D’s excitement or panic…
Dear Shego, your services have been wonderful, and you’ve done well as my evil villain sidekick for years now, but I suggest it’s time we part our ways. Mainly, because Global Justice has unfortunately determined that you are now a wild and dangerous animal, and I, of course, cannot have wild and dangerous animals loose in my laboratories Shego! Can you just imagine the mess—
Shego didn’t make it through the rest of the letter, it was in ashes on the floor before she had known what she’d done to it.
“DRAKKEN DITCHED ME!”
…wait a second.
“I’m a what?”
Kim Possible couldn’t believe what she’d seen and the report hadn’t made any sense to her. Why were they doing this now? And for what purpose? No one deserved to have their humanity taken away, not even Shego, and to do so so suddenly…
“Aw KP, cheer up, huh? This’ll all blow over soon enough right? And if it doesn’t well…”
“Ron, you can’t seriously mean that. You agree with what GJ is doing? Hunting someone down like their an…”
“Animal KP, and that’s what those reports say. Reports don’t lie, KP! Reports! Reports!”
“Reports can be wrong, Ron. Haven’t you learned that through personal experience…?”
Ron merely shrugged, talking nonsense around a mouth full of nacho chips as Rufus, that adorable naked mole rat chowed down with equal enthusiasm.
Kim moved a finger around the glass of her drink, lost in thought and wondering if Dr. Director had any say in that new legal document demoting Shego as human and promoting her to ‘wild must be shot on sight animal’ status.
“I don’t know Ron, I mean, something just doesn’t seem right about it.”
“OofIwudantwhoareboutitkim,”Ron mumbled, around a mouth full of food before swallowing. “Shego is like, a super villain right? She can most defiantly take care of herself. Eventually, Global Justice will come back to their senses and remove whatever they put out making Shego a wild bear or…whatever it is they said.”
With a sigh Kim took a sip of her milk shake, “I hope so Ron, it isn’t fair to take someone’s rights away because of an accident that happened to them. Shego didn’t ask to be exposed to that meteor…” But seeing that Ron was more occupied with his food then her rant of justice and equality and a serious lack of it she turned her head to look out the window. Maybe Ron was right, this was so not the drama.
I hope everything’s okay out there. What is Dr. Director up to?
To be continued…
