Kim growled in frustration as she flopped over. She just couldn’t get to sleep no matter which way she twisted or turned. She wasn’t horny; her libido had been fairly quiet, which was strange for her.
She wanted something but she couldn’t figure out exactly what it was. Counting the dots on the ceiling, this time in binary, she tried to figure out what it was that she wanted. She didn’t need any money, rent was paid, she bought groceries on Monday, and she called Mom on Tuesday…So what was it?
She groaned and rolled over onto her stomach, burying her face in her pillow. She was forgetting something, but what?
It was going to be a long night, so might as well get up. Rolling out of bed she grabbed a scrunchie and tied her hair back before padding into her living area. The full moon glowed through the balcony door making her furniture glow a sickly white.
It was a perfect night to go out on the town and see what happened. Smiling she padded back to her room to get changed.
Shego sat on top of the curving dome roof of the town hall soaking up the warmth of the day from the copper sheeting. It was relaxing, and helped her forget the problems of the day. Sighing she let herself melt a little, tense muscles loosening.
A blur from across the street caught her attention and she bolted up. She was sure she’d seen red. Standing up she ran down the dome, and twisted as she hit the ledge, following it to the end. Leaping off aimed for a lamp post, and caught it, using her momentum to throw her forward as she let go.
She hit the ground and was running, quickly picking up speed to a sprint, her eyes scanning the area.
There!
The blur was turning into an alley, and Shego moved to follow.
Kim smirked when she’d spotted the familiar form resting on the roof across the street. It’d been a little entertaining throwing herself from one building to the next, swinging from fire escapes and lamp posts, but it wasn’t enough. And when she spotted Shego, she knew what it was she wanted.
If Shego was half of what she expected the woman would notice her, and give chase.
And that was exactly what she wanted.
Shego stepped into the alley and slowed to a stop, looking around. It was too wide to climb up quickly, but offered plenty of hiding places. Igniting a hand she held it aloft like a torch, looking for Kim.
“Come out, come out where ever you are…” Shego didn’t know why, but she caught herself saying the words. It felt right though, almost like she was playing a game of hide and seek.
She walked forward slowly, scanning the shadows as she tried to find where the woman had disappeared. Was she crazy? Had she imagined the redhead? She chewed on her lower lip as she let her glow extinguish itself. She just needed some sleep. She was tired and stressed out.
She’d just go back to her apartment, take a couple of sleeping pills to help her pass out, and watch old horror flicks until she dozed off. That sounded like a perfect plan.
Shego turned to leave the alley and found herself facing the red head she’d been after.
For a moment neither moved, but then they quickly fell into more combative poses. Shego could see the grin of the woman facing her, and she couldn’t help but smirk back. They almost seemed frozen in place before one of them moved. Shego twisted as a fist grazed past her midsection; the twist became a turn as she shot back with a roundhouse that barely missed the other woman’s head.
It continued with punches that led to throws that led to a kick that led to flip that led to a grapple contest. They broke the hold that they shared with each other, and back away, panting.
“So Firefly has spark,” Kim was smiling. It was the most fun she’d had in a long time, but she couldn’t pin why. Even Ron, who could easily hold his own against her didn’t leave her feeling this good.
“Kim. As in Kim Possible right? It took a while to make the connection.” Shego smirked at her opponent’s surprise, “I’ve heard of you. You’re just as good as you’re reputation claims.”
Kim shrugged, and was nearly knocked over as Shego lunged. The two women were locked hand in hand, fingers intertwined in a match of pure strength. It seemed completely equal as neither of them seemed to be able to get the upper hand on the other.
“Face it Princess, you aren’t taking me in,” Kim spoke curtly, trying to summon just a little more strength to push her opponent back.
“Kim, you know that it just isn’t true. It’s my job.” Shego clenched her teeth and adjusted her footing slightly so that she got more power from her legs.
Kim’s determined expression melted as she spoke, “Well to take me in, you have to catch me….so let’s see what happens when you manage that.” Moving to quickly for Shego to shift her weight the redhead leaned back, pulling the pale green woman into her.
And standing there, only a hair’s width apart Kim smiled. Then the redhead’s lips met the pale green woman’s and they kissed. It was short, and was ended as Shego shoved the redhead away, a look of confusion and surprised in her eyes.
They didn’t look at each other as Shego left, sprinting as fast as she could away from there.
Kim sighed and slowly picked herself up, “That…could have gone so much better.”
Betty sighed as she set down the binoculars she’d been watching through. Shego had rejected the redhead, so maybe things could go back to normal. She sighed as she started up the company van and drove back to the local parking garage were they kept some of their Global Justice vehicles.
Maybe she could convince the Board that Shego wasn’t going to turn on them.
Maybe after she brought peace on earth.
Shego lay curled up in her bed, tightly clutching her pillow, trying to get her mind to untangle itself.
Her first kiss had been with a woman. An attractive woman. Alright, so she enjoyed it, was that so wrong?
She growled and threw the pillow at her wall before rolling over. She wanted to feel violated. Feel used. Feel something other than the warmth that came with thinking about that kiss. Thinking about her.
For the first time in a long time Shego let herself cry.
A/N: Next Chapter coming soon, along with an unexpected visitor. Honestly I’m trying to write longer chapters, but I end chapters where it feels right, which tends to be around three to four pages in this fic.
