Author's Note: "Veronica" refers to the Main Timeline's Shego.

Staring into the Darkness

Veronica glared at herself as she looked at the older women with a band of white in her raven black hair. "What the hell?! I told Drakken, 'No clones!'" The Supreme One glared at her younger self. "You've got to get that idol." Veronica shook her head. "It looks like the boys have got this one…for once." Veronica responded with a smirk pulling at her lips. "Trust me." The Supreme One said calmly, "This is going to go to crap thanks to the Buffoon!" Veronica rolled her eyes. "Why is it always him?" Shego mumbled with a groan as she shook her head. "Veronica…" the Supreme One growled. "You'll never get anywhere if you hang onto the redhead bitch." Shego felt like she had been punched in the gut. The Supreme One stared at her younger self with a callus look of apathy on her face. "Steal the idol and seal our rule in the future." The Supreme One commanded. Shego shivered. If I do, what happens to Kimmie? The green woman thought in fear. Not really thinking as soon as The Supreme One left, the green woman rushed into the confusion and captured the idol. Take me to the point where I become The Supreme One. Veronica thought.

When the portal opened, it drew the attention of all in the room. Veronica looked directly at Kim. "Later, Kimmie. I have a date with ultimate power!" Kim's stomach lurched as Veronica vanished into the portal. "Damn it!" Kim growled as she glared at Drakken, Duff, and Monkey Fist. The girl glared at them. "If it wasn't for your scheming…" Kim stopped her deadly march when she saw her younger self and a younger Ron. Kim calmed herself and looked at her younger self as did both Rons. "Who's she?" The young girl asked. Kim chuckled. "You'll meet her your Freshman Year of High School and he…" She thumbed a finger at younger Ron. "…gets an instant crush on her."

Ron put a hand on Kim's shoulder. "What's going on, Kim?" Ron asked his best friend since Pre-K. "First, I'm going to to turn Drakken into a pretzel. Then, I'm going to…" Drakken's eyes went wide as Kim picked Drakken up and glared into Drakken's soul. "Easy, Shego! We're an evil family. Remember?!" Kim suddenly closed her eyes and shivered at Drakken's slip. She dropped him unceremoniously on the ground as the two other villains looked at each other in shock. "Kim…" Ron began with worry in his voice. "…are you alright?" He asked her as his grip tightened slightly on his friend's shoulder. "You just gave Drakken a taste of Shego." Kim looked at her friend and was about to respond when she began to feel…unwell. She began to stumble and held her head. Ron held Kim gently with with a concerned expression on his face. "Ron, where's Veronica?" Kim suddenly spat out as she looked at the boy in fear and confusion. "Veronica?" Ron echoed in confusion with a raised eyebrow.

Veronica walked out of the portal to quite a sight. Above her, another Kim and another Shego fought. Kim was wearing a strange white and blue bodysuit, and this Shego was furious. "You want to know something, KIM?!" The green thief growled at the redhead with deadly anger in her eyes. Lightning flashed as the Shego Veronica stared at pressed her attack. "I can't believe you would do this to me!" Veronica heard herself growl. Veronica watched as Kim backed away from the blazing hands of her Alternate. "Shego," Kim said, fear in her voice. "What did I do?!" The girl yelled over the thunderstorm that flashed angrily around them. "You…you…" The Alternate's eyes flashed in rage. "…tried to kill me, and I loved you!" Veronica used the idol to will herself closer to the fight. The look on Alternate Kimmie's face was one of shock that gradually morphed into shame. "I'm sorry, Shego! I didn't know!" Veronica could see what was coming in her Alternate's eyes. Don't do it! Veronica mentally pleaded. Veronica saw that same cold, dead stare in The Supreme One's eyes and had to turn away as the Alternate rammed her hand through Alternate Kim's chest. No! This can't be the future! Veronica pleaded.

Veronica glared at the idol and thought about smashing it. Then, she smiled and thought, Take me back to the day I met Princess. When the idol responded to Veronica, she smiled and walked through the time portal. Veronica felt herself inhabit the body of her younger self from the first time Kim and Veronica met in that stupid plan of Dr. D's to have a nanotick with explosives in it. The green woman momentarily questioned why she wasn't treated to another paradox but chose to believe the more optimistic option: The Timeline was about to shift! Veronica smiled as she saw Kim, not dead and as splendid-looking as ever. It almost brought a tear to Veronica's eyes.

"Hello, Kimmie." She said as she ignited her hands and smiled at the redhead as Drakken Ron, and Kim looked at her in confusion. "You know KIM POSSIBLE?!" Drakken rasped in shock. Veronica laughed. "Know her? Not yet, but I hope to get to know her." Veronica said with a smile as she extinguished her plasma and walked over to Drakken. Veronica then took steel rebar and reshaped it into makeshift cuffs for the Smurf. "Take this as a price offering, Princess." Veronica closed her eyes and felt herself split in two. One to keep the new Timeline stable and the other went back to the present to remerge with her altered self.

Veronica came right after she entered the portal to the outside observer. The look on Veronica's face told a different story as Veronica's eyes went directly to Kim and began to water at the sight. "Kimmie…" The woman said. "I thought-" Veronica's scattered thoughts disappeared as Kim's lips captured Veronica's. Kim lightly ran her hand across Veronica's cheek. "We stopped Drakken, Duff, and Monkey Fist before they could use the idol." Kim said with a smile. "You should be happy. Why are you crying?" Veronica produced the idol as Kim's eyes widened. "I-I promise to tell you about it sometime." Veronica said as she captured Kim's lips and held them as long as she could. "The point is: I love you Princess."
