A/N: OH MY GOD… I think it has been ages since I updated this story! Ahahaha, I remember the first time I put this into writing I was meaning to finish it in one or two days, but as it is, it ends up 1 to 2 decades, I still have my milk teeth too back then and now look how old I've gotten before updating this?! LOL. Anyway, at least I am alive and well, and this story is alive too. I thank the readers who have supported me continuously by reading my fics. Of course, special thanks to those who have left reviews and comments, they are all welcome and appreciated.

Chapter 6
"What are we going to do?"
"Wait a minute and let me think…,"
"So?"
"I said wait a minute!"
"We don't have a minute! The Director is coming and he won't like it if he learns…,"
"Then shut up! We have taken care of him, do you understand?"
"We did?"
"Do you want to be thrown to the piranha pit?"
"So we did take care of him, ehehehe."
"So just shut up and let me do the talking."
Silence
"Do you understand?" there was still no answer, "Answer me idiot!"
"But you said I should shut up!"
"ARGH!"

Wade sat beside the red headed heroine who was looking at him with hopeful eyes. Shego's "not spirit" self on the other hand was pacing in front of the two teens sitting by the couch.
"The fuck princess,"
"Language Shego, we have a minor here."
Wade rolled his eyes, "I'll pretend that I too am seeing Shego so you don't look weird Kim."
Kim made her own version of eye roll, "Thanks for the sympathy Wade, and one more favor please and thank you…,"
The Afro-American genius nodded his head, "Anything,"
"You got to learn boy, you can't say anything to Possible or you'll lose a part of your body without knowing it." Shego grumbles,
"Do you want me to help you or what?" Kim asked the invisible form of Shego while glaring.
The green skinned thief raised her hands in surrender, "Okay, okay I'll shut up," she said before mumbling, "You're no fun pumpkin,"
The young teen decided to ignore the last one and continued, "Can we make this a secret between us? I mean, I do intend to tell Ron but not now, since we still got little idea on what's happening, we'll just keep on freaking him out, and you know how he is."
"I understand. So I'm not telling Monique too?"
"Please and thank you."
"So nerdlinger, how many times in a day does Kimmie says the line 'please and thank you'? She's too polite for her own good."
"SHEEEGO…," the name was said in a growl.
"I'll shut up,"
Wade was looking back and forth from Kim to the space where Kim directs her irritation, "Not to be a party pooper, but could I now explain my findings? Besides I'm sure you two are dying to know what Shego is,"
Both women exclaimed, "Go ahead,"
Wade's eyes were wide, his brows were up his forehead, "So I'll assume you finally have agreed on something,"
"HEY! We do agree on a lot of things!" Shego explained.
"Shego's right Wade, we do agree on a lot of things,"
"Really now?" disbelief in his voice,
"Will you explain now Nerdlinger?"
Kim looked at the space again, "Will you stop calling him nerdlinger? He has a name, a nice one too and it's Wade."
"First the buffo…Ron and now nerdli…" the villainess saw Kim's eyes narrowed, "Wade,"
"Good, I'm glad we have that cleared out." Kim said before looking at the genius boy who was shaking his head and laughing silently, "Explanation please…"
"… and thank you. That's the 40th time she…,"
"SHEGO!"
"I'm listening! I'm listening!"
"Ohhhkay, so to elaborate my entrance, Shego isn't dead." Wade scrunched his forehead, "…yet,"
"What do you mean by 'yet'?" Kim said a bit angrily,
"Whoah calm down Kim!" Wade raised his hands against the red head, "I got no idea about that, but the scan shows that it's not made of spirit particle." Wade sighed in relief when Kim calmed down, "So I assumed that she isn't dead yet since what we got doesn't coincide with findings related to ghosts or spirits."
"Then what am I?" Shego asked loudly but as usual, it was only Kim who heard her.
"Yeah, what is she?"
"From the scan, Shego's presence resembles that of her power."
Silence
"You mean, the Shego we have now here is the remains of her power?" Kim asked bewildered.
Wade shook his head no, "Not remains, but its' Shego's power… all of it,"The two women were rendered speechless. "… as to how that came to be? I can't explain yet, I need more time to research on how it happened." He scrunched his forehead again and looked at Kim, "I do have one theory at the moment though,"
"What?" Kim asked breaking the women's silence.
"Ahm… did Shego by any chance used her power any time during the accident?"
Kim didn't have to voice out the query because she knew the older woman heard Wade, she just looked at the green skinned woman who was concentrating to remember the past events. She watched as she shook her head no. "She can't remember Wade."
Wade nodded, "We need to find Shego's body."
"That's what I was telling you again and again, even before Shego appeared in my bathroom." Kim said a bit frustrated.
"She… while you were…," Wade's face darkened.
"Oi ner…Wade, watch where your imagination is taking you!" Shego said loudly and Kim finally realized what she had said and what her friend is thinking at the moment.
"Wade…," her voice laden with warning signals.
"Ah… errr… TMI?"
"Okay ne… Wade, pull your brain out of the gutter for a moment and back to the problem at hand. So let's say you're right and that I am actually my meteor power…,"
"Shego, Wade doesn't make mistakes with things like this."
"Okay, so I am my meteor power, why is it that only Kimmie here can see and talk to me?" she frowned, "I mean all of you could see my plasma power? So now that I am my power in its purest, why only Kim?"
"Shego is asking Wade why is it that only I can see and hear her when we could see her power when she's using it?"
The genius sighed, "Really Kim, I need more time if you two wanted definite answers on this." The two women nodded.
"Oh and we got another problem Wade,"
"What?" the genius looked apprehensive.
"We can't separate far from each other."
"What?"
"I mean, when Shego tried to be away from me, at a certain distance, she's being pulled back towards me."
"I see," Wade bit his lower lip, "Like I said Kim, you're coming here was sudden and me finding out about Shego too, I need more time."
"And more time is how many weeks?" Shego asked no one in particular.
"How long do you need Wade?"
"Give me three to five days Kim,"
"Whoah!" Shego looked at the young genius, "What? He's not going to sleep and just do research the entire time?"
"Pshh," Kim waved a hand in the air, "Wade's the most dependable computer guy on earth, and I know he could give us the information we need on or before the time he asked."
"That sure huh?"
"I've put my life in his hands hundreds of times and he had never failed me, so yes, 'that sure'."
The green skinned woman shrugged her shoulders, "Well if you trust him then there's no reason for me to doubt right?"
Kim smiled genuinely for the first time since she arrived at Wade's house, "Right," then she looked at Wade, "If you need for me to do anything…,"
"As a matter of fact I do. I need to know what happened in Dr. Drakken's lair. We could start our research there, see what transpired."
"But Dr. Drakken's lair exploded, I'm sure his security cameras were broken too." Kim said sadly.
"Probably those that can be seen, but Drakken's lair are always full of secret cameras. The damn henches sometimes use it to spy on me or the doc." Shego said nonchalantly.
Kim's eyes widened and she looked at the green skinned female menacingly, "And you let them? What… do they watch you take a bath naked…"
"TMI!" Wade shouted while covering his ears,
"Sorry!" The heroine said blushing from embarrassment,
"Heh, watch what you say in front of the kid pumpkin,"
"You…"
"So what was Shego saying?" Wade asked, his face still red.
"About hidden cameras in the lair that might not be damaged,"
"We could start with that." He smiled, "And there was this henchguy who is currently being treated at Middleton Gen right? You said he was the first one to get into the hangar and he was caught with the explosion, you think you could ask him what he saw?"
Kim smiled again, "That's feasible." She nodded her head. "Anything else?"
"None at the moment Kim, I'll try to analyze the sample again and then wait for your report. If there's anything else I need, I'll contact you."
"Please and thank you…" she looked at the green skinned female grinning at her, "Argh!"
"I'm not saying anything!"
KIGO
A slim man wearing a black hoodie, faded denim jeans and dirty KSwiss rubber shoes could be seen ducking behind a still clean dumpster. His breathing was ragged, a proof that he had been running for long. He bent over, supporting his upper body by resting his hands on his knees, his mouth open while he takes in needed air. His eyes were covered by dark sunglasses that now dropped to his nose.
I can't go to Global Justice… I may prefer to be jailed there but then they'll know I will seek help there, fuck what have I gotten myself into? I should have just stayed with Dr. Dementor! I can't keep hiding though…,
His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of banging and cat's sudden high pitch wail, shit they found me already? So despite him still being breathless, he moved and ran away from where he was. I need help… Kim Possible, yes Kim Possible!

"So have you two taken care of the traitor?" The one eyed Director asked.
"Yes sir, he's now down and out."
The smirk on the leader's face was really scary, "So he is huh?"
"Ye-e-s," the agent looked at the other agent who was trembling beside him.
"Then that means I need to reward both of you for doing a job well done." He said smiling evilly.
"Ah… we just did our job, there's no need for any reward or any…"
"But I insist," he nodded his head and then pushed a button. The two agents could be seen closing their eyes and holding their breath. When nothing happened, the two agents opened their eyes to see their leader handing them a scroll each. "Your reward," the leader said.
The two took the scroll immediately and bowed, "Thank you!" both said in unison.
"Isn't it customary that you open your gifts in front of the person who gave it to you?"
The two agents smiled and nodded their heads eagerly. They eyed each other before they opened the scroll at the same time, and their eyes widened when the floor where they were standing opened after seeing the red button that was clearly engraved inside their scrolls.
"If you keep doing that, sooner or later, we'll be out of people to command." The accent was distinct and he was not happy with what happened.
Gemini eyed the monkey man, "You do what you want with your monkeys and leave MY MONKEYS to me." He said before standing from his chair and turned his back on Monkey Fist.
The simian man narrowed his eyes, "You may think that you have us on your palms Gemini, but you wait and see…," he mumbles before turning and leaving the central room.

Agent Will Du of Global Justice arrived at the front door of Dr. Elizabeth Director. The GJ agent, along with Agent Ryan had been asked by the director to the office.
"Good afternoon Director…," Will as usual greet his superior.
"You two may sit." Betty Director interrupted her underlings' formality. The two agents sat at the chairs opposite the director's table and prepared themselves for either a briefing or a scolding. The two really have no idea why they were called, and it was the first time for them to be called together, as Agent Du and Agent Ryan rarely gets missions together due to personality difference. The one eyed doctor looked at her nervous looking agents and smiled… wickedly. "Let me alleviate your fears now, I am not here to give you demerits or demote any of you." She smiled again when the two sighed in relief.
"If I may be bold ma'am, what is this about then?" Agent Ryan started.
The brunette woman sighed. "First off, what happened to the request I asked of you yesterday?" Betty directed her question to the blond agent.
"Around 14:00, the IT department noticed an agency wide hacking, as requested ma'am, I ordered that the hacking be ignored." Agent Ryan reported, "I also contacted our satellite agencies and gave the same command."
"Did you get any resistance?" the director asked frowning.
"No ma'am, but I received several emails inquiring about the reason for the order, ma'am."
"And?"
"I copy furnished you with my reply to the queries ma'am, do you want me to retrieve it and print a hard copy?"
The director smiled, not evilly but it shows that she was impressed by the way the agent answered her. It was seldom that new agents, specially agents that were assigned to minor departments like IT got the ball to actually respond to her in the manner the blond, blue eyed agent did. Well aside from the fact that she reminds her of her latest conquest. "No need Agent Ryan," she said then directed her one eye on Will.
"Any news on the activity of Team Possible?" she asked in her usual stoic manner.
"Nothing notable ma'am," he replied with surety in his voice.
"You mean, despite the wager I had with Kim Possible, she did nothing to look for Shego?"
"Aside from her visiting her friend Wade in his abode, nothing notable ma'am,"
Betty's brows furrowed, "Kim Possible visiting Wade on the same day that she made a wager to us… hmmm… that sounds something we should look on." She smiled before once again eyeing the blond agent, "Aside from reporting, I called you two for an assignment. This is not to be known by the whole GJ. I want this mission to be just between the three of us. Am I understood?"
The two agents nodded their head.
"This is a bit of a sensitive mission and I don't want the UN or the elders of GJ get a wind of what I am about to ask you, so if possible, I want you two to take an indefinite leave and focus on this task." She watched the two nod their heads once again. "You agent Ryan will have to deal in getting information from Wade Lode."
The blond woman's blue eyes widened, "That's quite a feat…,"
"I know, that's why I chose you." She said grinning then she handed her a gray card, "This is a private issued credit card, anything you need to set up something that could make your mission easier, you can buy using this." The agent's eyes now looked at the offered card, "this is untraceable, well that's what I've been told and don't ask who's putting the bill." The agent nodded her head.
"I will try to do my best…,"
"No, you have to do it." Betty interrupted,
"Yes ma'am,"
"As for you Will," she eyed the Asian agent, "discreet follow up on Possible. Any movement on her side, I want it on your report, you are not to spare even the smallest of detail." Will nodded.
"And Stoppable?"
"Minimal, though if his presence is suspicious, I want it on report too. He may not be the factor anymore but still, his contribution to the success of Kim Possible is apparent."
"Yes ma'am."
"Good, and Agent Ryan, Agent Du?" she eyed the two agents, "You are to coordinate with each other, do you understand what that entails?" they nodded. "Very well, you are to put in your papers one week apart to avoid suspicion, that's all, you are dismissed,"
The two stood up and saluted, "Yes ma'am," before they wordlessly left the room.
Betty Director slumped her shoulders and rested her back on her reclining chair, I got high hopes that Kim would find Shego's body and I hope she does before… the director shook her head before closing her tired eyes.
