A stream of warm water came down, a quick scrub down and a catchy tune from an animeshon (anime) he caught off the internet and dressing in usual style Ron was ready to face the day.
He caught a quick snack from the fridge while leaving a note to his parents than out the door he went, ready to face villains, monsters, mystical creatures and freaky creations he was pretty optimistic.
At least until he reached the front of his school, that was something he normally can't really face with much optimism. But there were three things that kept him going, his friend, KP, his motto ("why be normal?”) and the eternal joke of high schoolers, “be nice to the geeks of today because they may become the bosses of tomorrow.”
The last one would always made him laugh, wondering into the school halls he eyed most of the people of the school who avoided him like the plague. Nothing new here, just the daily routine. When he went to his locker he noticed Kim wondering over, she looked pretty lost in thought; she didn't even stop to say any greetings when she opened her locker.
“Hey, KP,” Ron said. Kim looked up, she gave a half hearted smile. “You alright? You been kind of absent since the other day.”
“Sorry,” Kim said while getting her books. “It's just something I wasn't expecting.”
Ron opened his mouth to ask but the bell rang, they parted as they had different classes today and won't be able to see each other again until after school. Pity, he wanted to help her now.
Just about to enter the class room he looked down the hall to see Bonnie Rockwaller, who was gossiping to the fellow cheerleaders about something or other. He shrugged while entering class, his least favorite of least favorite subject was in this room.
“Hello loser,” Bonnie said with a poison tone while taking a seat next to him. “I hope your stupidity rubs off on me.”
“I hope your slutiness doesn't rub off on me,” Ron whispered back. She shot a cold glare at him and he return the favor as the teacher entered.
He wonder what was going on with his friend? Something really spooked her badly the other day, it couldn't be Shego; could it?
While writing down the answers with the best of his knowledge he wonder what is happening here?
A cold blast of water, a change of clothes and a breakfast she ate quickly Kim hurried out the door. The thoughts of Faust was still hanging heavily on her mind, it doesn't make any sense at all.
Imposter, that was the only thing her mind came officially come up with. It was the only explanation, it was the only way that she could be here.
She didn't know how this situation was taking it's toll on her until after seeing Ron. He's right, she was a bit absent minded since the mission. She was now sending her focus on kicking herself, she was spending too much time on focusing on the how; not the way. Somewhere out there were hundreds of people going through who the hell knows what and here she was, angsting around like a Square Enix character.
Blazing though the classes with the best she can do at the moment she resolve to forge the mechanics of the machine and head right for the god.
School ended sooner than she thought. She walked out the front doors hoping to see Ron and apologize for being so cold shoulder to him and get back to tracking this loony.
That's when her Kimmunacator beeped, “what's the sitch?”
“Bad news,” Wade said. “It happened again, nearly five hundred gallons of chemicals disappeared along with every guard in a line of wearhouses owned by many companies.”
Kim sighed, more people missing, what is this person planning? “Is there any clues?” She saw Wade shook his head, she knew that meant this just got harder. “Okay, let's go over the stuff that was stolen.”
“Alright,” Wade said. “First is the battle suit Aenesis Zero, than a few dozen crates of micro chips, tons of chemicals, people from every crime scene and Kelburos.”
“Okay, this doesn't add up.” Kim was silent she noticed Ron was heading her way out of the corner of her eye, “what's the best combination for these items?”
“Best combo for what,” Ron asked as he enter the conservation.
“I already check them, there's nothing that can really add up.”
“Add up what?” Ron was confused a little since he really didn't know what was happening. “Is this that villain thingy?”
“Yes, Ron.” Kim said while rolling her eyes. “Anyway, is there a way to create something from another part, one that Faust hasn't gotten yet?”
“Faust?” Both Ron and Wade asked.
“That's what she said her name was.” Kim mentally kicked herself for not telling her friends the villain's name.
“Well, there's not much but there is one item that might be on her to steal list.” A picture of a schematics of a powerful lazer cannon appeared, “this is a prototype of a unnamed lazer; it's something that is on the minds of many villains as it has the power to blew a part an entire army.”
“Where is it?”
Wade tapped a few keys, “at Eternal Star institute.”
“Is there anyway to set up a trap there?”
“On it,” Wade said before signing out. Ron felt like he was being left out of the loop, but was glad to see his normal KP back.
She hated being “off her feet”, she loved the intense fighting and the witty banter between her and her foes. Drakken was no fun in those department.
It was annoying she only can ether wonder around or lay there, this is not why she became a villain. If she wanted to do nothing she'll go back to being a hero.
Arg! If I stay here I'll flip out, Shego thought while sitting up. I need some air.
With that thought in mind she changed into her street clothes, which were basically black and green, than walking out of the abandoned mansion. Where she was going no one could say, she felt very anxious; like something huge is going to happen.
You better not think those things or you might jinx yourself, she laughed out loud. at least until she saw something dart across the shadows from the corner of her eye.
“Jinx.”
A short bath, bubble one in fact, a few skin care products and a light breakfast eaten slowly before she went out the door. That's how Bonnie Rockwaller starts her day, before her mother can intrude in on her personal space.
She didn't mind the walk to school, although she would rather arrive in style it was good exercise, and she also manage to meet up with her friend Tara along the way.
Once in the school she would catch up on the latest gossip from the other cheerleaders, that's when she saw Stoppable. Heading into one of her classes. She hated this day because she had to sit right next to him.
“You shouldn't let him get under skin,” Tara said. Bonnie said nothing, but when Tara laid a hand on her shoulder Bonnie relaxed a little. “Common, you'll be late,” with that Tara left for a different class.
Some times, she thought. You're too good to me.
She hurried to class and took her seat, exchanging insults with her arch-nemesis before the teacher came in Bonnie glared death at the blond dofus. She manage to bite down the anger and venom aiming at Stoppable long enough to finish the class, outside of said class on the other hand she was prepared to give him a tongue lashing of a life time.
Maybe it was luck that she didn't catch the blond afterwards, she wasn't in the mood to spend any time in detention.
After all was said and done she had received a text message from Tara, something personal came up, she had to take a trip with her parents somewhere quickly. Bonnie silently curse, now wasn't a time she wanted to be a lone.
Well, I guess love for the wicked, she thought on her long walk home. She tried to call someone, but they were ether busy or can't be reached.
By the time she reached home her mood was pretty bad, as long as avoids any contact with her family she should do fine. And luckily there were no cars in the driveway, meaning that her parents were off on business.
Upon opening the front door she saw someone, just sitting there on a stool, waiting for her. Pinstripe suit, fadora and a mask made up this person hiding in the dark.
“Who the hell are you?” Bonnie snapped as she reached for her cell phone, ready to call for help.
“Allow me to introduce myself,” the woman said. “I am Faust, and I came here to make an offer.”
“An offer,” Bonnie said with a cautious tone while closing the door behind her. “What kind of offer are we talking about here?”
“Simple,” Faust said. “Kimberly Possible, as your slave.”
