The early afternoon sun started to chase the shadows out of the scenery outside the windows.
“I think we should let her sleep some more…why don’t you start and reach a point where you think she needs to tell it and then we’ll wake her up?”
“Your funeral” Shego closed her eyes and started the story again.
When Kimmie looked up and cocked her head like that, I almost punched the door controls and jumped her on the spot despite the bruising and hair…it was a close call…
Shego watched as Kim stood up and waited for her to start down the ramp. Shego started down the ramp and was surprised to find that she didn’t have to keep tugging Kim along.
She stared at the near-empty hangar in surprise. Usually Dr. D kept far more saucers and SUVs.
He must be working on something big again
Walking across the hangar floor, trailing Kim like a puppy, she nearly made it to the elevator before one of the henchmen caught sight of Kim behind Shego. She heard the hum of an electro-staff just as the leash went taut.
“Watch out Shego, it’s Kim Possible!”
Shego turned in time to see Marsten begin to swing his staff at Kim. What happened next she would never have believed if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes.
Kim’s good hand snapped out and grabbed the staff near its glowing blue tip. She dragged the dumbfounded owner closer and kicked him in the kidneys…which caused him to drop to one knee. Kim twisted her arm and dropped her elbow onto Marsten’s forearm. Shego winced at the sound of bones breaking. He released the electro-staff. Kim twirled it and used the shocking end to lift and throw the goon back towards the middle of the hangar. She twirled it back and Shego heard the snick of the staff being deactivated. Kim turned around and held the staff out to Shego and quirked an eyebrow.
She had never made a sound…she wasn’t even breathing heavy. She had resumed her exact spot on the floor after executing the toss.
Suddenly EVERYONE else who had started running over at the mention of Kim’s name found much more important places to be and in under a minute the hangar was empty save for Kim, Shego, and an unconscious henchman.
Shego stared at Kim. Kim stared at Shego. Slowly Shego reached out and took the staff from Kim’s hand. She nodded at Kim who dropped her hand and resumed staring at nothing.
Shego felt herself go damp. I don’t know whether to slug her or kiss her. Just when you think you know someone, they go and do something that makes them MORE attractive. I didn’t know she was capable of such sudden and efficient violence.
She reached over and punched the call button. When the doors opened, she stepped inside.
“Come along…” she trailed off as Kim walked into the elevator and took up a position behind and to her right…the side where she still held the leash.
She glanced over at Kim again, who was busy examining the walls of the elevator.
“Cat got your tongue Princess?”
Kim quickly looked back at Shego and shook her head.
“Why did you have to break his arm, hmmm?”
Kim looked at her for a few seconds then shrugged and spread her arms in a “what was I supposed to do?” gesture.
Shego shook her head. “I wonder what Dr. D. is going to do when he finds out I brought you home and intend to keep you?”
Kim smiled and rolled her eyes. Her good hand rose…her index finger making small circles close to her temple.
so she was like she is now because of the torture Shego?
sort of…the whole rapt attention thing maybe because she didn’t want to be caught off guard EVER again. at this point I think she was playing with me seeing how far I would trust her…if it was far enough for her to get away…it wasn’t but she wasn’t taking any chances that I still wouldn’t slip up…
The elevator slowed to a stop and the doors opened on a curved corridor carved out of natural rock. Shego started down the corridor, again noticing that the leash never had to be tugged.
Shego looked back at Kim and saw her taking in every detail. She turned her head and found the door she was looking for…the one that led to Drakken’s workroom. The door opened onto darkness broken only by a few scattered desk lamps. At one of these, her current employer sat, wringing his hands slowly over some blueprints. He looked up when he heard the door open.
“Who is it now? You know I don’t like to be bothered when I’m thinking.”
“Oy Dr. D. Don’t you ever get tired of working in the dark?”
“Shego! Where have you been? I have been so worried you weren’t coming back this time. You do realize I’d be within my rights to tear up your contract…hmmmm?”
Shego grinned in the dark. “Sorry Dr.D. But I just had to go back to buy a souvenir.”
Drakken cringed. Shego’s little trips for souvenirs usually meant she had bought another one of those ridiculous mugs or T-shirts for him. He was conscious that he wasn’t exactly attractive, but her taste in clothes she picked for him always made him feel even more ridiculous than being blue.
“Not now Shego. I have been going over some of these plans you stole for me last year and I need you to go shopping for some items we’ll need.”
“Hey, don’t you wanna see? I promise you’ll be surprised this time…I still need a job and I’ll get right on that list once I’m settled back in…” she wheedled as she finally stepped into the light from his lamp.
“Shego. Not Now! We have a…waitaminute is that a LEASH? Shego, you know my policy on pets! You have to get me to agree to allow you to have one…it’s in your contract you know.”
“Doy. But this isn’t your normal pet. She’s more a permanent guest than a pet.”
“Don’t toy with me Shego. It’s a dog and you know how much I don’t like dogs after what Dementor’s dachshunds did to the lair at the last Annual Evil Barbecue we hosted.” He was wringing his hands pretty fast now. Perfect.
Shego tugged the leash. Drakken heard a shuffle and looked up into the eyes of his greatest foe, Kim Possible.
“AAARRRGGHH! Kim Possible! How did you find me so fast? I haven’t…done…any……thing……” Drakken trailed off as he followed the leash from Shego’s right hand to the collar around Kim’s neck and back again.
“So the rumours were true after all. Shego! Where did you get that much money? Have you been skimming our finances?”
“No Dr. D. I AM considerably poorer right now than I was last week. I take it that I can keep her then?”
“Just as long as she…” Drakken began laughing “…is already housebroken! Good one, huh Shego?”
Shego looked at Kim, waiting for the reaction. Kim just looked at her and raised her other eyebrow.
Shego snorted. “Come on Pumpkin, time to see where you’re going to be spending most of your time. Oh, and Dr. D? You might wanna get someone to go help Marsten…he ought’ve known better than to threaten my Princess.” Drakken twitched.
They moved back into the hall and kept walking…stopping briefly in front of a green door while Shego produced a small box from her leg pouch and pressed a button.
The door to Shego’s quarters opened and she stepped inside. Kim, of course, followed without comment.
The room was spacious, sporting a rather large plasma TV and a giant green leather couch. A bedroom lay off to one side down a short hallway.
“Welcome home Princess.” Shego unhooked the leash. “Have a seat on the couch. I’ll be right back.”
Kim walked over and sat down on the nearest edge of the couch and leaned back.
Shego walked into the bedroom and dropped her suit to the floor. Sighing, she grabbed her kit, two towels, and stuck her head into the doorway.
“Change of plans…you’re going to have to come back here Peaches. I need to make sure you aren’t infected or something worse.”
She watched Kim get up and saunter towards her. I am soo going to have to be careful. She looks good enough to eat right now.
Kim stopped in the doorway in surprise when she saw Shego naked. She stood rooted to the spot as Shego rose and walked into the bathroom. Kim heard water splash and Shego re-emerged and gestured.
“Well? What are you waiting for? Get undressed and get in here.”
Kim closed her eyes and began undressing, taking care not to catch on any of the many bandages. She was starting to feel pain in her hand again. The painkillers must be beginning to wear off. She winced when she ripped the bandage covering Shego’s name on her. She hissed quietly.
Shego had been enjoying the show and suppressed a gurgle when the bandage dropped. The calligraphy was near-perfect. She tried keeping a smile from her face, but failed and ended up with a lopsided grin.
She watched Kim as she stepped fully into the room…eyes going wide at the size. Shego broke out into a large grin. Betcha you didn’t see that one coming did ya?
Shego motioned to Kim. “Come over here and sit down on the edge” She opened the kit sitting on the edge of her bathing pool. Kim gingerly sat down and let her feet drop into the water…the hot water giving her a slight flush.
“Painkillers wearing off?” Kim nodded distractedly…eyes suddenly rolling up in her head as she fell forward towards the water. Shego caught her gently and chuckled. About time…didn’t expect her to go this long…I wonder how long it’s been since she was allowed to sleep?
Shego took out some antibacterials and a full syringe. Carefully she prodded one of Kim’s nipples…which immediately became erect. Wow. She lifted her breast to get a better look. Then she did the same with the other one. Shego sighed, closing her eyes for a few seconds…when she opened them she giggled, quickly removing her hands from where she was absently massaging Kim. Control Shego…control.
She squeezed out some of the antibacterial cream. Need to get her down to the medical bay for Theo to fix her up once I take care of a few things here and make a quick trip. I need to be here when she wakes up.
After rubbing the cream over Kim’s erect nipples and over her stomach, she pulled her legs up and out to see if her nether region had suffered the same as her head. She was shocked to find nothing but bare skin (except around her name). That must’ve been one hell of a bikini wax. WHY didn’t I figure on this one when her headlights only seem to have one setting? She rubbed some around the brand.
She picked up the syringe and injected the clear fluid full of medical nanos into Kim’s arm. Should take care of the bruising and small wounds shortly…hope there’s nothing deeper…I don’t know how long I can wait now that I’m pretty sure there’s a big engine in this little red sports car.
Sighing and pulling Kim’s legs closed she continued her bath in silence broken only with the occasional giggle.
did you ever tell Kimmie you were ogling her like that from the beginning?
chuckle a looonnng time after…once we both…hey! that was sneaky Doc…almost made me give it away…stop that…let me finish and then we need to wake her up
After getting dressed in her casual clothes, Shego dressed Kim in a robe, slung her over her shoulder and walked out headed for Dr. Kay and the medical lab.
Dr. Theodosia Kay, child-prodigy and formerly a world renowned surgeon and microbiologist now stuck working for Drakken, looked up and grunted when she saw Shego walk through her door with someone slung over her shoulder.
“Not another bad day again Shego? I already had to put Marsten in traction for his wrist…you’re usually more careful with the hired help…what happened?”
Shego snorted. “I had nothing to do with it. She…” She shrugged Kim off her shoulder and laid her down on the diagnostic unit “…didn’t appreciate the welcome home party.”
Theo tsked as she looked down at Kim Possible. “What you want me to do with her?”
“Fix her hand with that bone thing-a-ma-bob you keep telling me to use and grow her hair back out on her head…down to her butt and get Carter to cut it like this…” a magazine cut-out was passed over “…he’ll enjoy the experience but don’t let him take more than one picture. Oh, here…” a small box tossed “…use these when you finish removing all of the other garbage.”
Theo opened the box and laughed. “Going a bit fast, aren’t we?”
“Not fast enough if you knew what I suspect. You know how long I’ve been waiting for this.”
Dr. Kay shook her head. “You know that the bone renewer causes an immense amount of pain? I designed it for you because of your threshold…”
It was Shego’s turn to laugh. “Theo dear, she’s pumped up on your nanos right now and she’s the only one I know who can survive a full plasma discharge with only a red mark. What do you think?”
Theo looked down and where Kim lay and took in the view given by her partially open robe.
“I think you need to invite me over for a nightcap once everything is settled.”
Shego shook her head. “It’s going to be awhile before I’d consider sharing.”
The door swooshed shut as she left. Theo looked down at the unconscious young woman and sighed.
She pulled what looked like a colander with sparkplugs off a shelf and dialed a setting before placing it around Kim’s head and turning it on. It hummed as it powered up. As the humming grew, Theo began re-knitting the bones in Kim’s hand under the cast.
Leaving the unit on the cast she snuck a peek under the robe.
Shego you devil…THAT’S what you were laughing about, weren’t you? I think you’re going to be in for the shock of your life. I’ll have to ask her if she’d be willing to share sooner.
She looked back up at the machine on Kim’s head. It had stopped humming and was now flashing as a wave of red hair began to grow quickly out of her scalp. Five minutes later, she had hair down to her waist.
Theo looked at the renewer’s readout. Picking up the unit, she shut it off and picked up the box.
Shego never said I couldn’t take any pictures…she grinned and opened the robe
