Chapter Text
Betty Director sat anxiously in her seat as Agent Du piloted their personnel jet to Middleton Mall. She knew that Shego, Kim, and Adonis could all handle themselves but after seeing the type of damage that Mel could cost, she didn’t want to take any more chances. They needed to get to the mall and end all of this asap.
“ETA five minutes ma’am.” Agent Du said to her. She gave him a curt nod then began to make sure she was properly equipped for the coming fight. Betty looked back to the five elite agents she brought with them to see them doing the same.
“Your priority is to make sure all hostages are safe. I want you to take Agents Hollins and Gomez and find an exit for them.” Betty said when she turned back to Agent Du.
“Yes ma’am.” Was the reply. A few minutes later, Agent Du landed the jet in front of Middleton Mall.
Betty rose from her seat and marched towards the back exit. “I want no civilian casualties and whatever happens, Mel and Drakken goes down today!” She directed to the agents that followed after her. She motioned for Agent Du to take his team and find another entrance as her team made way to the front of the mall only to be stopped by a bunch of henchmen.
Betty closed her eye and let out a sigh before commanding the three agents with her to engage.
**************
“Ron! Duck!” Kim called out as a red energy blast flew right where the blond’s head just was.
“Thanks K.P!” He said gleefully before being tackled to the ground as another blast flew in his direction.
“Pay attention you buffoon!” Shego exclaimed after she got to her feet having been the one to tackle the blond haired man.
“Right…” He mumbled as he got to his feet causing Shego to roll her eyes.
She turned her head to see Adonis and Kim attacking Mel together and took a second to admire how the two moved in unison like professional dancers. She watched as Adonis launched Kim in the air causing her to do a somersault then aim a missile kick at the mercenary. She watched as Mel used the redhead’s momentum against her by grabbing her leg and turning his body to send her flying to the other side of the fight area before being shoulder tackled from behind by Adonis which sent him to the ground.
“You good Red?” Adonis asked as he eyed Mel began to gather himself up from the ground.
“I’m good!” Kim called back before blue light could be seen traveling down to her lower body. She assumed a running stance then took off with quick speed towards the mercenary and started throwing a combo at him, getting him on the defensive.
Mel grunted as he raised his arms to block a kick from a battle suit powered Kim causing her to adjust and send a punch that the mercenary ducked under. He retaliated with an uppercut that the redhead flipped away from but before Mel could follow up, he felt a sharp pain in his upper arm. He looked down at his arm to see a small throwing knife embedded in it. He turned around to see Adonis tossing another throwing knife in the air as Shego and Ron walked up beside him.
“Is four too much for you to handle Mel?” Adonis teased with a smirk.
The mercenary's only response was to grunt then pull the knife out of his arm and throw it to the side. He powered up both gauntlets and began to send blasts at all four of his opponents. They either jumped, ducked, or dodged out of the way as the fury of blasts didn’t allow them to get any offense in. Shego began to counter some of them with plasma blasts of her own causing smoke to fill the area as the blasts collided.
“We gotta do something about those bullshit ass energy gauntlets!” Shego called out after she flipped to the side as two blasts flew by her before sending two of her own. “We won’t be able to end this if he keeps us at bay like this!”
Adonis slid under another blast then sent another throwing knife at Mel that he blasted away with ease. “If y’all can get me in close, I can disable them but before that, I need cover!” He explained to the green skinned woman close to him.
“Whatever you have planned, make it quick!” She shot back then began to send return fire at their opponent.
Adonis nodded before standing up and looking for his combat knives, spotting them a little ways away. “Kim! Ron! Operation Monkey Dance!” He yelled out.
“Operation what?!” Inner Shego said as Kim and Ron each gave a quick head nod.
“This isn’t a time for fucking games!” Shego roared while still trading blasts with Mel.
Adonis watched a blue glow begin to surround Ron as the blond activated his mystical monkey powers. Over the years, Ron had finally started to master his powers with the help of Yori and the Yamanouchi Ninja School so of course Adonis made different “just in case” plans involving him.
“Shego! Can you back them up?!” Adonis asked the ex-villainess as he began to make his way to where his combat knives were discarded.
Shego gave him an incredulous look before she let out a deep sigh. “What ever the fuck this shit is better not get me or Kimmie killed!” She responded before firing multiple plasma blasts.
“It doesn’t matter whatever plan you make! You all die today!” Mel yelled in frustration.
Before he could send a barrage of energy blasts towards Shego and Adonis, a flying kick from Ron sent him stumbling back. A follow up punch from Kim kept him off balance which was then followed with another kick from Ron. It was then that Shego realized what Adonis had planned.
“Not a bad plan.” Inner Shego remarked that only got a grunt in return. She waited for an opening before firing off plasma blasts that connected with the mercenary.
With Mel fully occupied, Adonis made his way over to his combat knives and picked them up. He turned back to where his three friends were fighting with Mel then took a deep breath. He tightened his grip on the knives then charged back into the fray.
****************
Agent Du and his team made their way to the back of the mall where they spotted a couple of henchmen patrolling the loading dock. Du held up his hand to stop the other two agents as he took a second to analyze the situation.
There were five henchmen that he could see. Agent Du guested for Agent Gomez to move closer from the left then sent Agent Hollins to the right side of the loading dock. Agent Du, himself, climbed up onto a delivery truck and snuck his way to the back. Once he was there and the other two agents were in position, Will Du leaped from the top of the truck and landed hard on one of the henchmen, taking him out.
The other four henchmen turned but before they could react, Agents Hollins and Gomez took out two more of the henchmen. Agent Du pressed a button on his watch, causing a small metal tag to fly out and hit one of the remaining henchmen. He pressed another button and the tag activated, tasing the man unconscious. He then sent a roundhouse kick to the last henchmen which sent him to the ground out cold.
“Well done agents,” Will said to the others as they regrouped. “Now let’s find those civilians.”
The three agents made their way through the loading dock entrance of the mall. Once inside, they were met with a large open room filled with supplies. They continued further into the mall until they came across two downed henchmen.
Agent Du stopped the others before kneeling down next to one of the men on the ground and checking his pulse.
“Unconscious.” Agent Du thought to himself.
“Stay vigilant agents.” Agent Du said to his subordinates. He stood up and the three GJ agents continued down the hall. They turned another corner and found three more unconscious henchmen. They moved passed them, and entered into the mall food court where they found Dr. Drakken and more henchmen guarding the civilians.
Before they could advance, they spotted a figure clothed in all black crouched behind a pillar. Agent Du held his hand up to stop the other agents then carefully made his way over to the figure. Once he was close enough, the figure held up their hand to stop him.
“Yori Yamanouchi,” Agent Du spoke in a low voice. “I take it you were the one to take down those henchmen?” The young woman turned towards the agent and gave a nod.
“What’s the situation over there?” He asked as he eyed Dr. Drakken and the hostages.
“Ten henchmen and Drakken, along with thirty to forty civilians.” Yori answered.
Will gave a nod then peaked around the pillar to further scope out the situation. He could see one of the henchmen tending to Dr. Drakken as the other nine guarding the civilians. He knew that the four of them could easily take down all ten henchmen and Drakken with no problem but the hostages really complicated matters.
***********
“Shego!” Kim yelled as an energy blast shot by the green skinned woman’s head.
“I know!” Shego acknowledged as she slid under another energy blast. “Pay attention Pumpkin!” She sent a barrage of plasma blasts towards Mel.
Seeing an opening, Kim launched a flurry of punches at the mercenary that kept him on the defense. Before Mel could counter the redhead, a kick from the side threw him off balance. A series of kicks and punches from Ron kept him from getting the upper hand. Shego covered her hands in her plasma and began throwing her own combos at the merc. Mel stumbled as plasma powered punch sent him reeling that was then followed up with a flying kick from Kim which sent him to the ground. Before he could get back to his feet, a sharp pain could be felt in his right shoulder blade. He turned his head to see Adonis crouched beside him and a combat knife in his back.
“I think it's time to clip your claws.” Adonis quipped. He then took his other knife and sliced through the wires that connected to the gauntlet on his right hand. Adonis went to do the same to the other gauntlet but an incoming blast made him dive to the side.
Mel rose to his feet before yanking the knife out of his shoulder and tossing it to the ground. He tore off the now useless gauntlet where it joined the ground next to the knife. “I think it’s time for all of this to end.” Mel announced to the group.
“I couldn’t agree more!” Adonis shot back.
After a brief stare down, Team Possible charged at the mercenary with determination. Kim was the first one to meet with the mercenary with a jump kick that Mel sidestepped. He then grabbed her leg and used her momentum against her to send Kim flying across the battlefield. Mel wasn’t able to press the advantage on the redhead as a mystical monkey powered Ron threw jabs But Mel managed to counter one of the jabs and caused the blond to stumble to the ground where he was kicked away. Seeing an open, Adonis and Shego attacked together with plasma fists and a combat knife. As Mel brought his hands up to block Adonis’ attempt to stab the knife into his chest, Shego managed to rake her plasma covered claws across Mel’s face.
The smell of burnt flesh filled their nostrils as blood began spilling from the part of the wound that didn’t cauterize from the green skinned woman’s plasma. Shego then aimed a spinning kick at her adversary’s head that was blocked. A kick by Kim from behind sent Mel stumbling forward into a rising knee from Adonis. As Mel doubled over, Shego delivered a plasma infused punch directly to the man’s temple which sent him crumpling to the ground.
The four of them stood watching with their guard still up, waiting to see any more movement from one of the men that had been making their lives a living hell. When nothing happened, they finally relaxed their aching muscles.
“Holy fuck!” Kim exclaimed with a sigh. She was bent over with her hands on her knees breathing heavily. This was honestly one of the toughest fights she ever had and she was glad that it was finally over.
“Why the fuck did it have to take three professionals and a buffoon to take him down?” Shego asked with some discomfort in her voice. Her ribs were on fire; she was pretty sure some might either be broken or cracked. Maybe even both.
“Hey! This buffoon just saved your life!” Ron retorted to the insult.
“Don’t fucking remind me.” She mumbled with an eye roll.
“Can you two get along for five minutes? Adonis back me up here, please?” Kim asked as she turned to the brown skinned man to see him kneeling down next to the mercenary and checking his pulse. “Fuck did we kill him?”
“Still breathing.” Came his reply.
“I can fix that.” Shego said as she lit her hands ablaze again.
“Shego!” Kim exclaimed in horror while looking wide eyed at the ex-villainess. “We’re not killers!”
“After everything he put us through, you wanna let him live!?” Shego fumed. She had a rage in her eyes that the redhead had never seen before. It was almost enough to put fear in Kim but she stood her ground with a simple nod.
“Kim’s right Shego.” Adonis said as he rose to his feet. “They’re not killers and they aren’t gonna start today.” He turned towards Shego and leveled her with a glare.
“Fine.” She relented and extinguished the plasma on her hands before crossing her arms.
Adonis let his glare linger for a moment before turning and began moving towards where Drakken took the hostages. “Come on, we’re still not done here.”
The three of them followed Adonis as they began to make their way through the center of the mall towards the corridor that Drakken went down earlier. None of them notice Mel began to raise his left arm and point his gauntlet at them. He started to charge up the device with a wick smile on his face but before he could fire it off, a thousand volts of electricity shot through him and let out a yell. At hearing the yell, Team Possible turned to see Dr. Director standing over a stun mercenary.
“I thought Team Possible wouldn’t be so careless to turn their back on their opponent.” Dr. Director said as she put away her stun gun. She motioned for a couple of her agents to restrain the unconscious man then made her way over to the four.
“You sure did take your sweet ass time getting her.” Shego commented with an edge in her voice.
Betty ignored her comment as she stopped in front of Adonis. “What’s the situation?” She asked in her authoritative voice.
“Drakken’s down this corridor with the hostages and more henchmen.” He answered with a point over his shoulder.
“Yori should also be down that way as well.” Ron added.
Betty gave a nod then turned to her agents. “Agent Jackson and Glenn, I want you two to find that bomb! Agent Bell, watch the mercenary.”
The two agents nodded and began their search while the rest of them resumed moving down the corridor. Soon they came to the food court where they spotted Dr. Drakken, his remaining henchmen, and all the hostages. Anger boiled over in Shego once she laid eyes on her former employer.
“Drakken! I’m going to end your miserable life right here and now!” Shego yelled as she stepped towards the blue skinned man with fire in her eyes and on her hands.
“God damn it!” Betty thought to herself as she watched the mad scientist and his former sidekick stare each other down. She was about to step out herself when the com in her ear went off.
“Bomb found ma’am. Attempting to defuse now.” Agent Jackson's voice said.
“Shego!” Drakken bellowed when he turned to the green skinned woman. “I wouldn’t step closer if I were you!” He said as he pulled a small device from his pocket.
“How about you stop being a fucking coward and face me like a real man!?” Shego challenged. The venom that dripped from her words could probably melt through steel.
“Or I could push this button and blow you and Kim Possible sky high!” Drakken countered as a sinister smile plastered his face.
Before Shego could call his bluff, Dr. Director stepped from where she waited and addressed Drakken. “Drew, this is extreme even for you. Have you really fallen this far for revenge?” She asked as a tactic to stall for time.
“This isn’t just for revenge! I’m doing this so none of us will have to deal with any of Team Possible anymore! I’ll be admired among the villains for doing something that nobody, not even that traitorous bitch, could do!” Drakken boasted.
“You think I’m going to let you get away with this ridiculous plan?” Betty asked with a raised brow. “There’s no escape for you Drakken. Just put down the detonator and surrender to GJ.”
“Like hell I’m letting him walk out of here alive!” Shego exclaimed in anger. “After all the bullshit he put us through, the only way he’s leaving this mall is in a fucking bodybag!” The plasma covering her hands intensified in heat as she stalked closer to the scientist.
“One step closer and I push the button!” Drakken threatened as he raised the detonator higher.
Again Shego was gonna call his bluff but this time Kim stopped her by grabbing her arm. She turned to look at the shorter woman who gave her a fierce shake of the head. Shego felt just a little of her anger slip away as she stared down into pleading olive green eyes. She let out a grunt and then extinguished her plasma but returned her murderous glare back to Dr. Drakken.
“In position to assist ma’am.” Betty heard Agent Du in her ear piece say. She couldn’t see her top agent but she had a feeling that he could see her so she gave an almost undetectable nod of her head to give the man the go ahead.
“I finally have the upper hand now so everyone is going to do as I say!” Drakken demanded. “As a matter of fact, I want Adonis to show himself as well.” At hearing his name, Adonis revealed himself to the mad man along with Ron.
“And you did me the favor of bringing the buffoon as well!” Drakken said with worrying glee.
“Drakken, there’s no need to involve innocent civilians anymore. You’ve made your point.” Kim said in a calm tone. Maybe she could talk the man down from the edge of no return.
“My point will only be made when you four are dead!” Drakken countered with. “For years you have been a pain in my side! Hell, the whole villain community’s side but now it's your turn to be the one to lose. To have all of your plans blown to bits!”
“You fucking crazy!” Shego proclaimed once Drakken finished his monologue.
“And you’ve been stabbing me in my back for years!” He yelled.
“You seriously think I would stick around you for so long if I were stabbing you in the back?” Shego shot back. “News flash you blue idiot, You are the most annoying, incompetent, whiniest person I ever had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting. Like I would rather go back to working with my brothers than stay around you longer than I absolutely need to!”
Each word Shego spoke was laced with venom as she let Dr. Drakken have it. She was fed up with everything she had been put through while working for the scientist and having this man thing that she was staying just to undermine him.
“Bomb disarmed Director.” Betty heard Agent Jackson say in her com. She let out a sigh of relief as the main threat had been and she noticed as there were less henchmen watchung the hostages than before. Now all that remained was Dr. Drakken himself.
“This is your last chance to surrender Drakken!” Betty warned.
“When will you all understand that as long as I have this detonator, I have the upper hand? I’m done with nobody taking me seriously! No longer will I have to worry about traitors, world saving redheads, Global Justice, or anyone looking down on me!” Drakken let out a maniacal laugh when he finished talking. He had finally done it. He finally got the best of Team Possible.
“Are you done?” Adonis asked. He was over this whole song and dance and at this point he really just wanted to lay down and rest.
“I’ll show you!” Drakken yelled.
Screams and gasps could be heard as Drakken pushed down on top of the detonator. After a few seconds of nothing happening, he clicked it again to the same effect. He did it a few more times before Adonis spoke up.
“What’s the matter Drakken, performance anxiety?” He teased with a smirk.
“Argh! Henchmen, end their miserable lives!” He called out. When nobody moved forward, he turned around to see them lying on the ground unconscious and three Global Justice agents between him and the civilians.
Before he could react, Yori landed in front of him then kicked the detonator from his hand. Another kick from the woman sent him flying to the feet of Team Possible where he landed with a hard thud. He opened his eyes to see emerald green ones looking down at him with pure fury. A sickening crunch was heard as Shego drove her fist into the blue skinned man’s nose causing blood to leak out.
“Was that really necessary Shego?” Betty asked as she kneeled down and restrained the unconscious man.
“You’re lucky that that’s all I did.” Shego answered with a simi satisfied sigh. She so badly wanted to do more to the man that had made her life a living hell for the past year but she knew that killing the man would land her in a Global Justice cell.
Betty let a sigh fall from her lips before she ordered her agents to start evacuating the civilians. After a long year and so many headaches, Dr. Drakken and Mel had been stopped and arrested with no casualties. The property damage was astronomical but she would take that any day.
“Yori!” Ron yelled as he ran over to his girlfriend. “Are you okay?” He asked as he checked over the ninja with worry.
“I’m fine, my love.” The woman answered as she put a hand on the blond’s face to calm him. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips which caused his ears to turn a bright red.
Shego turned from the couple just as she felt a body crash into her from the side and wrapped her in a hug. She looked down to see a mane of fiery red hair as the embrace tightened a little more.
“Are you okay Princess?” Shego asked as she returned the hug with as much vigor as she got from the redhead.
“It’s finally over.” Kim said then let out the biggest sigh of relief that the raven haired woman had ever heard.
“Yeah Pumpkin, it’s finally over.” Shego said with a chuckle.
She, herself, was glad that they could finally put all this behind themselves. Now she could have time to sit and think about what was going on between her and Kim. Or what will go on between them.
Kim pulled back from the hug a little to look the older woman in the face. Olive green eyes met emerald green ones before they flicked down to lips that were absent of their icon black lipstick and back again. They asked a question that didn’t need to be said out loud to be heard.
Shego gave caution to the wind as she pressed her lips against Kim’s with a soft kiss. It was much more tender compared to the two the women shared earlier in the evening as they both tried to convey something akin to love and relief to each other. However, as quick as it began, it was over much to Shego’s chagrin. Kim pulled back from the kiss which made Shego chase after the soft lips that were just against her own.
Shego opened her eyes to see a smirking Kim looking back at her. “You damn tease.” She said in a low voice when she put her forehead against the other woman.
Kim smiled as she moved her arm up to rest on the shoulders of the other woman. “Well I don’t wanna give everyone a show.”
“Fuck everyone else.” Was Shego’s response before a throat cleared behind her.
Shego turned her head to see Dr. Director standing behind her with a raised brow and crossed arms.
“What the hell do you want Betty?” Shego spat out in annoyance.
“Shego, behave.” Kim said in a low voice.
“How long has this been going on?” Betty asked expectantly.
“None of your damn business.” Shego replied with more annoyance in her voice. All she wanted to do was feel Kim’s lips on hers again. Was that too much to ask?
“Shego, don’t be a bitch all your life.” Adonis interrupted as he walked up to the three women, ignoring the sowl he was getting from the ex-villainess. “This is a new development in their situation. It’s also why I told you to back off of Shego.” He said as he turned to the head of Global Justice.
“Hmm, I see.” Betty pondered. “Well then, we can discuss this when we debrief later this week.” She gave a nod to the three of them then walked off to examine the bomb that her agents had defused.
“I think it's time for us to head home.” Adonis said to the women with a tired sigh. He was sore and exhausted from the fight with Mel and just wanted to wrap his arms around his girlfriend.
“HOLY FUCK! DID KIM AND SHEGO JUST KISS?” They heard Ron yell from across the food court.
************
Epilogue
“Kimmie, tell me again why I have to have dinner with your family again?” Shego asked as she drove her car through Middleton.
“Because my family should get to know my girlfriend.” Kim answered as she checked her makeup in the mirror visor.
Hearing Kim call her her girlfriend still made Shego’s stomach do flips even though it had been two months since they officially started dating. Two months since Drakken and Mel had been hauled off by GJ and Adonis and Monique had moved out of the penthouse.
“They already know who I am cupcake. I lived with y’all back when I got my morals all flipped.” Shego said as she turned the car into the Possible’s neighborhood.
“They know who Miss Go is and who Shego, the ex-villainess, is but they don’t know who Shelia, my girlfriend, is.” Kim corrected as she sent a beaming smile to Shego.
Shego rolled her eyes then pulled the car up in front of the Possible’s house. “If anybody calls me that name, I promise you that I will leave them with burns covering ninety percent of their body.” She said sternly. Kim was the only person she let call her by her real name.
“Of course. We can’t let anyone know that the big, bad Shego has a regular name.” Kime teased as she unbuckled herself.
“I’m serious Kimmie.” Shego warned while doing the same.
Kim's response was to lean over and kiss the other woman’s lips that were covered in her signature black lipstick. She pulled away with a smirk when she felt Shego try to deepen the kiss.
“Behave and there’s more where that came from.” Kim said in a low voice before getting out of the car and heading to the front door.
Shego watched the redhead leave her with a slack jaw at what she had done right before having dinner with her family.
“Since when have you become such a tease Princess?” Shego asked herself as she killed the car’s engine and followed after her girlfriend.
“You love it though.” She heard her inner self say.
“You’re damn right I do!”
Kim knocked on the door once Shego joined her on the front porch. A few seconds passed before the door opened to reveal Adonis with a smile.
“It’s about time you two got here.” Adonis said as he stepped to the side to let them in.
“If it was up to me, we wouldn’t be here at all.” Shego countered as she and Kim moved past him and into the house.
“Remember what’s on the line if you behave Shego.” Kim reminded her as she moved farther into the house. Shego let out a sigh and rolled her eyes.
“Damn she got you whipped already I see.” Adonis teased after he shut the door.
Shego wished so badly that she could burn the man in front of her as they walked into the living room of the house. Once they arrived, they were met with the sounds of laughter and conversations.
“Hey gurlfriend!” She heard Monique yell from her seat on the couch.
“KP!” Ron's voice came from the other side of the room.
She watched Kim give them a wave before her mother engulfed her in a hug and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Before she knew it, Ann Possible stood in front of her with a grin on her face.
“Hello Shego! You’re looking well.” Ann said as she did a quick look over the green skinned woman.
“Hello Mrs. Possible.” Shego said as she extended her hand to shake.
Ann looked at the hand placed in front of her then back to Shego’s face. “Really Shego?” She asked before embracing the taller woman in a hug.
It took a second before Shego returned the hug.
When Ann pulled back, she looked the other woman in the eyes and said, “And please, just call me Ann.” She led Shego farther into the living room as conversations and laughter continued.
*************
“I still can’t believe that Kim and Shego are dating.” Ron commented after dinner as everyone sat in the living room.
“Well believe buffoon, because it’s happening.” Shego said with a little edge in her voice.
“Be nice to your friends, Shego.” Kim said as she cuddled into Shego’s side.
“He’s not my friend.” The raven haired woman shot back.
“You can’t be a hero without friends.” Adonis said. Shego could hear the teasing in his voice but it didn’t make her as angry as it used to.
“Not a hero.” She said in a flat voice which brought laughter from the people in the room.
“Well you’re my hero.” Kim said then placed a kiss on Shego’s cheek. Aw’s could be heard around the room as a light blush found its way on to the ex-villainess.
Soon the topic of conversation switched to some other topic and Shego found herself being at ease with the people around her. Maybe she had finally found out what it means to be a part of an actual family as more laughter reached her ears. A part of her still wanted to run away but the redhead cuddled into her side was keeping her grounded.
“I think this is something that we could get used to.” Inner Shego commented.
Before she could respond to herself, Shego locked eyes with Adonis from across the room as he sat with his arm over Monique. He gave her a knowing smile and a little nod before rejoining a conversation with Jim and Tim.
“Maybe we can.” Shego replied to herself as she looked down to see olive green eyes filled with trust, love, and care staring back.
