“Are we there yet?” Kim asked for the fifth time in ten minutes. The car screeched to a halt.
“Kimmie. What did I tell you the last time you asked?”
“No?”
The villain sighed. “The other thing.”
“You’d pull over and throw me in to a ditch with the blindfold still on? I’ll be quiet now.” Kim could hear Shego’s frustration but she couldn’t see her smile.
“Shego?” Another ten minutes passed before the teenager spoke again.
“Ditch.” Shego growled in response.
“I was just gonna ask if I could go to the bathroom.”
Growling with frustration Shego pulled over at the nearest gas station. She led the still blindfolded Kim to the, thankfully empty, bathroom and finally removed the blindfold. The teenager blinked rapidly as the light hit her eyes. She looked behind her and found the stalls and headed in to one. Shego’s hand stopped her from shutting the door. “Shego!” She growled.
“Uh uh Kimmie. I’m not risking you escaping. She turned around to face away from the door, giving Kim some privacy. Kim’s feeble escape plan had been ruined. She only had one chance left to escape.
Shego turned and grabbed the teen hero’s fist before it could make contact. She shoved her against the wall, pinning her arms above her head. “Need a hand Princess?” She purred as she teasingly unbuckled Kim’s belt. She hadn’t expected the baggy cargo pants to drop. “Shego!” The red head screamed in indignation.
“Aren’t you a little old to have hearts on your panties?” The teen’s face burned as brightly as her hair.
“Aren’t you a little old?” She snapped huffily. Shego emitted a low threatening growl and pushed her harder against the wall.
“I’m only twenty.”
Kim looked deeply sceptical. “But that would mean you’re barely out of your teens!”
“Congratulations Kimmie, you can count.”
“Wow. I always thought you were some mature bad-ass woman.”
“Aw, Kimmie, you think about my ass?” Kim’s blush deepened and she restarted her struggling. She was rewarded with another shove.
“You really should know more about your opponents Pumpkin.”
“Oh yeah? What do you know about me?” The teenager snapped.
A sly smirk spread over the villain’s lips as she openly eyed Kim’s well-toned body. “Everything.” She pressed her lips against the shocked teen’s ear. “Maybe you should make more of an effort to get to know me.” She purred.
“S-sure.” Kim stammered. “Maybe sometime when my pants aren’t around my ankles.” The younger girl was phased by Shego’s teasing. After fighting her for so long her taunting and teasing had become natural and expected. But standing, with Shego’s body pushed against her, staring in to burning green eyes, she wasn’t sure it was just teasing.
“Starting now.” She pulled Kim’s pants up by her belt. “What have you got to lose?”
The heroine remained silent for a few moments, thinking of what she could lose by calling a truce with the older woman. Her reputation, her family and their trust, Ron… “Everything.”
“Take a risk.” Shego purred in an all too tempting way.
Lucy slumped in her car after work and sighed, looking up at Scud she sulked. “Being good is hard.”
“She’s worth it.” Her best friend smiled, probably thinking of his own D.E.B. Lucy nodded in agreement.
“I’m going to show her. I can be a good guy too.”
“No, Shego!” Kim groaned. “I can’t take anymore!” Shego smirked as she set dessert in front of Kimmie. The diner they sat in was busy enough to keep them hidden from spying eyes and prying ears.
“Maybe if you ate more pudding you pants wouldn’t fall down.” The teen stuck her tongue out at the older woman, winning a small chuckle from her. “So what next?”
Kim looked thoughtfully and shrugged. “I wasn’t really planning on spending the afternoon with my arch nemesis.”
“Hmm…well I’ve got some fun ideas.” Kim scowled and rolled her eyes. Shego feigned innocence. “I was going to suggest we go shopping, but it’s your choice Princess.”
“Shopping sounds fun.”
“What are we waiting for then?”
She grabbed hold of the teenager’s arm and rushed out of the café and in to the car.
“Shego!” she barked as they sped off. “You didn’t pay.” The villain smirked and rolled her eyes.
“Relax.”
As Kim watched the streets whiz by she realised she was in Middleton. Shego had been taking her home before her escape attempt. She hoped she wouldn’t regret staying with her.
“Kimmie!” Shego dragged her in to one of the first stores she found in the mall. “You would look so hot in that.” The teen blushed at her choice of words.
“I haven’t got any money and we’re not stealing.” Shego rolled her eyes and grabbed the items of clothing she wanted for Kim. She dragged her over to the changing rooms.
“Shego they’re…my size?” Kim held the clothes and looked quizzically at her enemy.
“I guess all that staring at you pays off.” She grinned as Kim entered a fitting room. The teenager looked at herself in the mirror. The black jeans sat snugly against her at her hips, leaving her midriff bare in the stripy green T-shirt that highlighted her eyes and her chest. She had to admit. Shego had taste.
“Perfect.” Shego’s gaze raked over her entire body. The teen shuffled self-consciously and returned to the fitting room to put her own clothes back on. When she emerged she found a shop assistant waiting for her to take care of the sale.
“You’re friend said she’d be right back.” The woman smiled politely as she bagged the items and handed her a credit card. The name said ‘Shae Go’.
“Ready Princess?” She jumped as Shego appeared behind her.
“Yup. I’m ready Shae.” She handed her the credit card back and surprised herself by allowing the older woman to link in to her arm.
“C’mon Kimmie, let’s get you out of those clothes.”
“Shego!”
“And in to the new ones.” She added. “Eventually.” She laughed as she received a playful slap from the younger girl. It was friendly and light, not violent and determined like her blows were when they fought. Shego enjoyed the change.
Once they were back in the car Shego sat with the blindfold in her hands and looked sullenly over at the puzzled red head. “I’m gonna’ take you to my place.” She leant forward and tied the length of material over Kim’s eyes, making sure not to pull her hair as she tied the knot. “It’s a little far.”
“I trust you.” The words were out before Kim knew it. She didn’t regret them though. She actually felt safe with her enemy. With Shego.
