“Thank you for your help Miss Possible.” The squad leader, a slightly older more toned woman shook her hand. “Even if it was a waste of your time.” She glared at one of her team members, a young blonde who looked around sheepishly.
The other two followed their leader out leaving Kim and the blonde girl in the room with the large balloon and streamers that had previously been contained within a fake bomb.
“You’re friends don’t seem happy with you.” Kim tried to approach the girl who looked wistfully at the balloon with her name on.
She shook her head sadly. “They’re not. This is my fault.” She pointed at the balloon. “It’s from a world famous thief who’s in love with me-”
“Shego?” Kim asked. The girl frowned and shook her head.
“Lucy Diamond. She…we were together, but it had to stop.”
“Because of your friends?” Kim asked, feeling sorry for the heartbroken girl before her. The girl let out a short low laugh.
“Because of everything! I’m the perfect score. I’m the D.E.B.S poster child. If I were to go off with Lucy Diamond I’d lose everything. My family, my friends, my job. I love Lucy.” She blushed at admitting it to a total stranger. “But I love helping people. I can’t have both.”
“Amy!” The leader shouted from outside. “Get your ass in the car!”
The girl sighed and extended her hand to Kim. “Amy Bradshaw.”
“Kim Possible.” Kim smiled politely. “Hang in there Amy. It’ll work out.” The girl laughed and shook her head.
“It’s not possible.” Kim smirked.
“Anything’s Possible.”
“I like her attitude.” Amy jumped as Lucy appeared in the doorway that stood between her and the car. Amy sighed. She was in no mood for Lucy’s games. She couldn’t sacrifice her life for a criminal, even if she was reforming.
“Lucy, enough! Stop pulling these stunts! It’s great that you’re being good, but I can’t be with you. It’s over.” She pushed past the silent woman, tears beginning to roll down her eyes. Lucy glared at the empty space where Amy had been.
“Fine. Have it your way.” She stormed off before the red head approaching the doorway could notice her.
“Um Shego?” Shego stopped in her tracks, close to the lair’s exit.
“Not now Drakken.” She growled.
“I’m sorry, but why do you have so much rope?” Shego rolled her eyes and began to count to ten.
“Because it’s always handy when abducting people.” Both Shego and Drakken’s attention snapped towards the dark haired woman who had walked in to the lair unnoticed. “Not as effective as these.” Lucy Diamond held up a pair of diamond-encrusted handcuffs and allowed a devilish smile to spread across her lips.
“Thought you were good now?” Shego replied, ignoring Drakken’s bewildered look. The woman laughed and shook her head.
“I only get what I want when I’m naughty.”
Shego smirked. “And how do I fit in your plans?” The woman looked around the lair at Drakken and his useless inventions scattered everywhere.
“We both want something we’re not allowed to have.” Realisation dawned on Shego. “So how about we help each other out? You get Amy for me and I get who you want.”
“Deal.” The raven-haired thief didn’t need to think about it before agreeing.
“Just one condition. No one gets hurt.” Shego nodded in agreement. “Lets get to work then.”
