Shego was in a state of shock. Her pet had thrashed five men without a weapon. She hardly looked so dangerous curled up against her. The dark haired woman sighed. The girl wasn’t telling her anything, which left a lesser preferred option.
She was going to need to visit Betty.
Shego attempted to gently wiggle out from under Kim. But despite her efforts to let the girl sleep, she still woke up with a muffle groan. The red head latched onto Shego with a whimper.
“Princess…will you please let go?”
A whimper told Shego the answer was no.
“What’s wrong Kimmie?”
“I’ve been a bad pet.”
Shego sighed and mussed Kim’s hair, “No, you’ve been a very good pet. Well save for the whole mysterious past bit.”
Kim chewed on her lip, “That’s what I mean…I want to tell you…but I don’t know how to say it…”
Shego looked at her pet, “Well you could start at the beginning.”
Kim looked extremely thoughtful for a moment… “Umm…do you have the internet?”
Shego smirked, “As strange as it seems to think the internet has to do with this all, yes, I have the internet.”
Kim played around with Shego’s laptop. It was simple, easily disposable, and fit Shego’s lifestyle. She tapped out the webpage address slowly. She didn’t visit the webpage often herself so it took a little work to think of it.
Shego leaned over the red head’s shoulder as the page loaded.
It was the Kim Possible webpage. Right below a rotating KP logo was a motto.
“’I can do anything.’” She read it slowly, “THAT is you?”
Kim nodded meekly.
Shego shook her head slowly. “I’ve heard of the stuff you’ve done…You save the world…”
Kim shook her head, “Not anymore. I’m just your pet now.”
Shego gave up trying to get anything else out of Kim. The girl clammed up and refused to give up anything else. Shego gave up and went to bed. She couldn’t sleep, even when Kim snuck in and curled up next to her. She wrapped an arm around the girl and tried to sleep but something bothered her.
What could happen to make a world hero quit? Shego couldn’t figure it out. Sleep won out eventually, but it wasn’t as restful as usual.
Shego’s eyes cracked open at a nuzzling. It was Kim’s nose against her neck. She didn’t bother protesting the affection, and squirmed a little with a soft sigh.
“Kimmie…please….”
Kim stopped, “Sorry…”
Shego hugged the girl, “About what?” She gently kissed the trouble causing nose. “Best wake up I’ve ever gotten.”
Kim blushed, “You…mean it?”
Shego smirked, “Definitely.”
Getting out of bed proved to be a task with Shego being too comfortable to move and Kim enjoying the attention too much to make an attempt to. But the moment was broken by growling stomachs.
With a groan Shego rolled out of bed, “I’ll make breakfast. No offense Pumpkin, but I’m kind of tired of omelets.”
Kim just nodded and followed the woman out of the bedroom.
Shego made pancakes, insisting on doing it from scratch.
Kim looked at the stack of pancakes with wide eyes as they were set in front of her. She attacked it with a vengeance.
Shego watched the girl with fascination, there were just so many questions about the girl she wanted answers too, but wasn’t getting from Kim. Betty could be a source of information, but she need to approach the problem carefully. The last thing she wanted was trading favors with Betty.
She stopped her train of thought as she noticed that Kim was staring. “What?”
“You haven’t touched your pancakes…”
“Oh…sorry…” Shego started on her plate, trying to decide what to do.
Shego gently tapped on the apartment door. Cursing and a couple of crashes came from inside before something thumped against the door with another loud curse. Betty opened the door a small crack before swinging it open.
“Shego! What are you doing here?”
“Betty….well you see…um…?”
“I doubt you’re here because you secretly wanted to have hot tantric sex, so what are you here for?”
Shego sighed, “I need to tell me what you know about Kimmie.”
Betty sighed, “Saves the world, lived in Middleton, and is your pet. That’s all I got.”
Shego wanted to smack her own face, “You only gave me one bit of new information out of that. So you’re telling me you know nothing about her personal life?”
Betty leaned against her door frame, “There used to be a sidekick that she was impossible to separate from. A boy named Ron Stoppable. Everything else on her you have to get from him, her parents, or her. Sorry, but I’m already over the limit on what I’m allowed to share.”
Shego nodded, “I understand. Thanks Betty.” She sighed.
“Shego…?”
“Yes Betty?”
“You sure you don’t want to come in for a bit?”
“Positive.”
Shego opened the door cautiously. She had learned quickly that her pet had a sixth sense of sorts that told her when Shego was home, and the dark haired woman was too tired to deal with the assault of affection.
Even if it was cute.
And even if she enjoyed it more than she knew she should.
Shego sighed as she spotted the red head curled up on the couch asleep. She knew that it would be better to get the girl home, or to at least try and let her family know that she was alright. But at the same time there was a pang of sorrow that flashed up when the idea crossed her mind. Kim had declared her Shego’s pet. Shego accepted out of being forced into it.
But that didn’t really matter anymore. She needed the red head around. Mysterious or not. She sighed. How old was Kim exactly, anyways?
Had she been sharing her affection and doting on a minor?
Shego sat down in the entry way and tried to think. It didn’t really matter to her if the girl was a minor. After all she’d broken laws with harsher punishments than that. At the same time it was important to her that it was okay.
Shego shook her head. Between her questions, and the confusion inside her head she wanted to scream, to cry, or at least beat the living piss out of something.
She barely whimpered as her eyes watered, she was turning into a wreck. It didn’t really matter, because her pet made her feel better. But at the same time the red head was the source of all the issues that she was feeling.
Shego groaned inside as she came to the conclusion to what she had to do. She had to return Kim to her parents.
She felt her heart break as she realized the problems it would cause and the tears started pour.
Author’s Notes: Fear not! It’s not –THAT- close to the end, and I’m only partially picking on Shego. I don’t do it because I’m mean, but because it gives her character depth or something. Honest!
Besides I like Shego too much to really pick on her.
