A/N: Okay so I'm rather behind on the whole "Shego and Drakken" shipping scene. It wasn't until a month ago I appreciated these two as a possible romantic couple! So this fanfic is based on the time line From Shego turning evil all the way past Graduation. It's mainly focused on Shego but will also have Drakken's thoughts and feelings explained. I assume this will be quite a lengthy fic and I plan to complete every chapter of it! Some things I've added or changed to help flow with the story (including the order of episodes). Eventually the chapters will be the same name as the episodes I'm writing about. Exciting things to come! I hope this has captured you! :) Enjoy!

Chapter One: Seeds of Evil

"Looks like this bird is ready for his cage" Hego laughed loudly as he reprimanded Aviarius.
Shego groaned and rolled her eyes.
"That's the third time you've said that" She rubbed her temples "It's getting old"

She could see Aviarius nod in agreement.
"And I will keep saying it, dear sister, until this fellow finally decides to quit these shenanigans!" Hego smiled proudly and puffed up his chest. Shego sat on the floor and rested. This was just one reason she hated crime fighting…waiting for the cops to show.

Ever since Team Go became famous and fought crime on a daily basis the cops had become especially lazy. They knew their leader, Hego, would make the team stay as long as needed before collecting whatever criminal they'd captured so they didn't have to rush. Last week, Shego noted, it took them an hour just to get three miles down the road and when they arrived the sweet smell of donuts lingered on their breath. Shego would only know this as one in particular had a habit of getting uncomfortably close and insisted on flirting with her. How I'd like to punch his smug face she thought regularly. She'd recently become very bitter. They'd been fighting bad guys for about 2 years now and she was bored. She was sick and tired of her older brothers and became increasingly irritated with the twins.

Hego, the oldest, was constantly bossing everyone about and acting way too full of himself. Although not as full of himself as Mego. That boy was all about himself and he made sure people knew it. She'd lost count how many times she'd want to tell a story and he'd butt in with what HE would have done in that situation, or what HE would have wanted the outcome to be. He believed he was God's gift to the earth and would tell his fangirl's all about the terrifying day a Rainbow Comet struck his family tree house and he alone braved the flames to rescue his siblings. What bull. Of course they would believe every word and swoon all over him. The Wego twins decided that there should be six of them and for the time being refused to get rid of their duplicates. Usually Shego could handle her younger brothers but six six-teen year olds all repeating each other and whizzing around her was driving her loopy.

Aviarius made no attempt to escape, he'd learnt by now there was no point and to just try again later. He did however jump when he heard a loud crash further in his mountainside nest.
"Can't you control your brothers?!" He screeched at Hego.

The blue-clothed man sighed and handed Shego the chain of Aviarius' hang-cuffs. "Mego, let's go get the twins before they end up with wings again" He looked down at Shego sternly "Hold it tight"
She stood and leant against the wall squeezing the chain firmly to make a point. She knew he thought she was inadequate and that pushed her buttons. Soon there was silence as she waited alone in the large room with Aviarius.

"I don't see how you can deal with him on a daily basis" He shuffled slightly trying to untwist his cape.

"I've learnt to block him out" She mumbled "Only took 24 years" With her free hand she fiddled with the ends of her ebony hair that sat just under her bust. She heard Aviarius mutter away about plans being foiled and the like. "Will you be quiet?!" she said loudly.

"I just can't work it out! How he always gets me!"

"Because you make a scene" She huffed "You crash, bang and wollop through the city and expect it to go unnoticed. If I were a villain-" She was cut off by a loud laugh.
"You?! A villain?" Mego strutted in with a loud arrogant laugh "That I'd like to see"
The Wego's ran in behind him. "Oh no everyone watch out! It's Shego!"
"No, no! It's the Shegosaurus!" The twins began to stomp around acting as an uncoordinated dinosaur causing Shego to light her free hand with her green fire and shoot it toward them.

"Now, now everyone!" Hego's deep voice echoed around the hall. "Shego you shouldn't be saying things like that. You are a hero and always will be. We, Team Go, have been blessed with these unimaginable powers and as such should do our best to protect this city...and the world. Furthermore-"

Shego drifted off and stopped listening. This wasn't the first time he'd given her the "Feel blessed for being special" lecture and she knew it wouldn't be the last. With every word she could feel her blood boil in the pit of her stomach. She wanted to do something, anything to prove to her brother that he was wrong and for once she wanted to shut him up. As he rambled she felt something tug in her hand. Instinctively she held to the hand cuffs tighter and stopped Aviarius from escaping.

And then it hit her.

She smirked and in one swift movement she broke her enemy's cuffs. Her hands glowed green as he witnessed the bird-man's shock of being released. For a moment he didn't move, unsure if this was a trick.

"Shego! What are you doing?!" Her older brothers yelled in unison.

"Sorry!" She said sarcastically "I guess that wasn't very good of me" She tried to pull her best innocent face although she felt too pleased with herself. Aviarius began to sprint away and called for his pet condor. The male members of Team Go ascended on their foe and began to battle once again. Shego decided to lounge on a nearby throne and watch the chaos unfold. Beside her was an end table and resting on top a glossy magazine with large red letters that read "Villains Digest". She was able to roll it and pocket it away. Getting frustrated with the loud squawks of the condor and constant arguing voices of her brothers she decided to put an end to it. Shooting hot plasma at a high chandelier it swayed before finally crashing to the ground and landed on Aviarius and his bird companion. As if on cue the police arrived.

To spare herself any further disruption to the day Shego left the lair and made her way to the Team's airplane that was waiting on the roof.

Shego was lying on her bed. All she could do was stare at the ceiling and think about the day she'd had. She'd always been interested in seeing the villain's schemes and plots and as time grew she actually became disappointed that she never saw the end of them. She would have loved to know if they would have worked but her and her brothers stopped before it got that far. And she loved to fight. She'd realised this long before now but even yelling at someone and knowing she was causing them aggravation made her feel good.

For the past three years she'd been feeling lost in the world not knowing her place or which side of the fence to be on. At first it was all about the good. Sure she would get cranky and frustrated and a good argument with Hego and Mego was a weekly event. But she loved being able to help people. After graduating college she was supposed to head straight into teaching but Hego convinced her to join his precious Team Go. Now she felt it was all a waste. Luckily the city paid off her student debts to show their gratitude of being rescued a gazillion times. But still she was forgetting things she was taught in her Child Development and Education degree and so once again Hego had found a way to ruin her goals in life.

Who'd want to be around whiney kids all day anyway, she heard herself say. Her brothers were bad enough and the thought of being around 100s of teenagers a day made her cringe. She rolled over and felt something dig in her side. Unzipping her green and black jumpsuit she pulled out the magazine she'd taken from Aviarius and decided to flick through it. The majority of it was advertisements for some fancy new doomsday device that was a must have. But a double page spread caught her eye

"Confessions of the Criminal Sort: Why are you evil?"

Each segment was written by anonymous readers of the mag and they explained why each one had become a criminal mastermind. She'd read the villains confessions and smile. It was nice to know they were just regular people, well under all the evil. She read a few in detail.

"I was banned from every golf course unfairly" That's a bit lame.

"My inventions were always banned for being 'too dangerous! Gottverdammt!'

Shego shook her head. Even in the villain world people were over eccentric like Hego. She continued to read and slowed when one, rather long, confession caught her eye.

"I was ridiculed, mocked and teased for my brilliance. You believe people are your so called FRIENDS and they laugh at you for days on end without a gasp of air. Sure I made a mistake one or two times with my creations but it's a learning curve! I left my old world behind refusing to ever be made fun of again. One day I'll show those dear old friends a thing or two! And everyone who never thought I'd achieve anything will be shaking and begging on their knees!"

Shego could feel the passion burning in the page. Whoever wrote that obviously had some issues but at the same time she empathised with them. She knew what it was like to be made fun of. Being the girl whose hand lit green with fire when she was mad wasn't the best image to have in high school. At the time she hated people being scared of her but now, she wanted that fear. She wanted people to be too afraid to even breathe in her presence and to follow orders like they had no other choice. Shego always wanted to be the best in everything she did. She made sure to get the best grades and when she found joy in musical instruments she'd learn how to play them as best she could. She loved perfection and thrived on it. And it hit her. She wanted to gloat and brag and show these pathetic villains how it's done. She knew she'd never be the best at being good, so knew the only way to achieve perfection, was to be the best at being bad.

Rushing to her wardrobe she grabbed a duffel bag and started to frantically pack clothes and then dart around the room gathering random items she didn't want to part with. Maybe it was just the exhilaration she felt at that moment or maybe this is what she wanted. Yes. It was. She wanted to be evil, she wanted to make people tremble, she wanted to seduce and fight. She wanted to be selfish and egotistical. She wanted to…leave Team Go.
