Kim Possible: Morality's Choice - Chapters 4.6 - 4.8 - Endings & Beginnings
Shego lit her hand with a smirk and lobbed a series of plasma balls towards Kim. The red head let her body react on instinct and slid low, allowing the balls to pass over her form, but just as quickly as she had dropped, she sprang up and went into a series of spin kicks, closing the distance between her and Shego.
Shego stood her ground, unwavered by the rapidly approaching blur of legs. At the last moment she shot her hand out and grunted with effort as she caught Kim's leg and clasped both hands around it. She flared both her hands and watched as her flame began to lick into Kim's skin. To Shego's surprised Kim just smirked as if she had been expecting it. She arched backwards and planted her hands on the ground behind her, pulling back with all her might. Shego looked quite surprised as her tight grip on Kim's leg became a liability, her body suddenly flung forward. She tumbled through the air but managed to land in a back handspring, which she used to flip back into a standing position.
By this point both women were breathing heavy. They had been fighting all day, like they had when Kim was still training, and neither woman could seem to gain the upper hand on the other. Kim bore multiple burns on various parts of her body, souvenirs of Shego's touch but she seemed to not even notice them. Shego herself was none better. Her muscles were quite obviously shaking and her body bore deep bruises, no easy feat given her healing rate. As Kim took a dead run towards Shego, her freshly burnt leg bright red, the last rays of the day's sun dipped below the horizon and Shego held up her hands.
"Time's up Princess. Looks like we got another tie."
Kim stopped and regarded Shego's words with a smirk.
"Only until tomorrow when I finally take you out."
It was her standard reply when Shego pointed out their continued ties and Shego, as she always did, scoffed good-naturedly in return.
"Keep dreaming like that Princess and I'll be glad to give you a five alarm wake up call."
Shego looked over Kim's body, the remnants of her strikes quite obvious.
"Don't they hurt?"
"Pain just means I'm alive, it means I can still fight. You taught me that Shego."
Shego nodded approvingly.
Kim smiled naughtily
"Besides, I like the feeling of your hands on my body, no matter what they're doing."
Shego just shook her head and walked towards the bathroom, ready for a shower. Kim took the chance and leapt forward, pushing herself just over Shego, grinning as she landed.
"Last one to the shower makes dinner."
Shego just grinned in return, ready for the challenge.
:Later:
Kim stood in the kitchen rattling off a series of dishes to a shocked looking Shego.
"...and for dessert I was thinking we'd have those chocolate parfaits."
"Damn Princess do you have a black hole in your stomach or something?"
Kim smiled innocently.
"I'm a growing woman. Besides, you lost the race."
"Only because you bit me in the back of the leg."
"Never start a fight you can't finish remember?"
"So you do listen, good to know."
Kim laughed and walked to the living room, knowing she had time to kill until Shego finished the dinner order. She flipped on the TV and listened with half interest as yet another political show droned on.
"...and this is just the latest atrocity perpetrated by the so called protectors of this world. Global Justice? HA! More like Global Fascism. You've all seen the story right? Kim Possible saves the entire world from yet another mad man, who just happens to be the brother of the leader of Global Justice, and she's almost arrested for her effort by none other then Betty Director, who just happened to be at the scene? You know what I think? I think this whole thing was a plot between her and her brother to take over a world that was turning against them. I say we've had enough of Betty Director, I say we need to send our government a message. Either Betty Director goes or we take to the streets and show them we mean business."
The crowd roared in agreement.
"Now I'd like to take a few calls, get a pulse for what you the average American is thinking. Call in to the number at the bottom of your screen."
Kim smiled as an idea came to her. It couldn't hurt to give them a little push in the right direction. She grabbed the near bye phone and started dialing. The phone was specially designed to appear as if it was calling from another country, a feature that gave an added edge to the story Kim was already preparing.
She watched as onscreen the woman thanked the current caller and signaled her production team to patch through another.
"Hello, your on live with the Irate Eliza show, what's your name caller?"
Kim spoke in a calm practiced tone.
"Hello Eliza? This is Kim Possible."
The show's crowd gasped then went wild at the name.
"Well this is an honor. Folks we have world hero Kim Possible on the line. Miss Possible according to my staff your calling from outside the country, any particular reason for that?"
"I'm glad you asked Eliza. Unfortunately I've had to go into hiding. Betty Director has already proven she is willing to stop at nothing to bring me under her control and I was afraid if I stayed she might harm my friends or family in order to get to me."
Eliza's tone took an angry tint.
"Do you hear that folks? Kim Possible, who just earlier this week saved the entire world from nuclear winter has been forced to go into hiding all for the sake of her family and friends, and the woman who is hunting her gets to run free. "
The audience booed loudly.
"I'm just grateful for the support of people like you, it means a lot to me."
Kim let her voice grow a bit sad.
"I just can't understand how she could abuse her power like that. All I ever wanted to do was make a difference.…"
Kim cut off her sentence, feigning a sudden onset of tears.
"Do you see that everyone? All she wanted to do was make a difference and now look at her. What kind of world is it where heroes like Kim Possible are forced into hiding, forced to abandon their friends and family because of the actions and lies of corrupt officials. Well you know what I say? I say we need more people like Kim Possible in this world, people who are trying to make it a better place not trying to turn it into their own little kingdom. I want each and every one out there to contact their representative. Demand Betty Director be removed from power and Kim Possible be placed in charge of Global Justice. With a hero like her at the helm it might be able to be a true force for good again."
Unseen by the Eliza, the smile Kim had been wearing grew wider and darker as the conversation continued, the suddenly implanted idea continuing to spread after the show had ended. By that night it was the topic of various debates and news shows, the suddenly increasing cry of not only the American people but people of the entire world that Betty Director to step down and Kim Possible to take her place.
:A Few Weeks Later:
Betty crossed her arms and scowled in disgust. She was standing outside the doors of an unassuming office whose purpose was anything but unassuming. Behind the doors sat a group of men who had called her here to decide her future with Global Justice. It was not this fact though that was causing her scowl, rather it was the newspaper sitting on the waiting room table beside her. It's headline read "World Government's demand removal of head of Global Justice." and was one shared by many that morning, a seeming indication of the current mood of the public at large. It galled her to see the entire future of the free world being dictated by a bunch on mindless sheep, that any world government would take the out crying of a few mindless sheep as actual directive. She was cut off from her mental rant as the doors began to open begin to open and a single female stepping halfway out.
"Miss Director? They are ready to see you now."
Betty gritted her teeth and prepared to fight for not only her job but the truth. She walked into office and stared at the suited men that sat behind the only furnishing in the room, a long conference table. One of them spoke in a serious tone.
"Sit Miss Director."
Betty made sure her face appeared impassive as she took her seat.
"The recent weeks have seen several public revelations that have done great harm to Global Justice. You have been asked here today to provide an explanation for these events."
Betty stood and took a deep breathe, bringing the image of Kim Possible to the forefront of her mind as she spoke.
"Everything that has happened in these past weeks has been a direct result of the actions of Kim Possible. She is no longer the hero she is claiming to be.…"
Betty paced as she spoke, her voice constantly spiking with anger as she told the sordid history of Kim Possible, of the death of Bonnie Rockwaller and Ron Stoppable, of the involvement of Shego. The men that sat across from her listened with focused intention, their eyes never looking away from her for even a moment. When she had finally finished her speech she sat and waited for their response. She did not wait long.
"Thus far you have allowed on your watch the death of two agents, you have admitted as much. You have also allowed the public to learn of Global Justice's reformation tactics and of your true relationship with Gemini, the leader of W.W.E.E. You have, in short Miss Director, caused Global Justice's public image to become tarnished and the world wide trust of Global Justice to falter. You have offered no proof of your accusations…"
Betty cut in with a forceful tone and pointed at the men.
"I provided the witness statements of over thirty Global Justice agents."
"Which state little more then what you yourself told those agents while public support for those same statements is almost non-existent. It is the decision of this council that you have become to great a liability to allowed to remain in your current position. Effective immediately you will be stripped of your rank and dishonorably discharged from government service. I feel compelled to inform you that Miss Possible has been named as a possible replacement.
Betty's arms shot up in rage as her voice erupted with a similar inflection.
"Are you blind? Have you not listened to single word I have said? Your making a monumental mistake. She is not to be trusted, she has been planning this from the start, I know it. You idiots are playing right into her plan."
The man replied with a calm even tone.
"And what plan would that be Miss Director?"
Betty stood at a loss. She did not know exactly what Kim Possible was planning but she knew it meant a dire fate for the world.
"As we thought, you again make a claim you can offer no proof of. Miss Possible has shown herself to be a selfless hero time and again, laying her life on the line and asking nothing in return. That is the sort of image Global Justice once had, and if we are to restore it we need such a figure for the public to stand behind."
Betty stood steaming in anger, at a total loss for what to say.
"This meeting is adjourned. Betty Director you will turn over your sidearm and any other equipment you are carrying to the officer that is waiting outside this room. You will then have 12 hours to prepare your affairs and vacate your position."
Betty shook with rage and she turned and stormed out of the door. Kim Possible had done it, she had cost Betty her job and left her looking the fool in the eyes of the world. As she slammed her equipment into the hands of the waiting officer she only had one thought running through her head. If she couldn't make the world see that Kim Possible needed to be stopped, Betty would stop her herself, permanently.
- - -
It took only 6 of those 12 hours Betty had been given for the news to leak out and thus by noon the news anchors on every channels were reporting the same story.
"Hello and welcome to the news at noon, I'm your anchor Michelle Ashley. Our top story this lunch hour, sources close to the government have announced that Betty Director, head of Global Justice, will be stepping down today. Betty Director was head of Global Justice for 10 years but recently found herself and Global Justice under scrutiny for questionable tactics and personal vendettas. Though no official replacement has yet been named, many are speculating that Kim Possible could be asked to take the position. Miss Possible is known around the world as a iconic hero and may be just the sort of image boost Global Justice could use."
Kim shut off the TV while sporting a wide grin. Both she and Shego had been relaxing and eating lunch on the couch and had only had the TV on as white noise when the news was broadcast.
She turned to Shego.
"It worked. We made her look so untrustworthy and incompetent that they bounced her right out. She can't hide behind a wall of soldiers or in a fortified base now."
"I find the addition of your name more interesting. Did you have anything to do with that Princess?"
Kim grinned mischievously.
"I might have given them a small push in that direction. Think about it Shego, with me leading Global Justice we'd have our own private army, no more having to constantly hire henchmen. What better way to change the world then to start with the idiots who were ruining it?"
Shego smiled with both pride and amusement.
"Your brilliant sometimes Princess, but you seem to have forgotten something. What am I supposed to be doing while your playing with your new toys? More importantly, what about us as an us? It's not like the head of Global Justice can just sneak out to see a wanted thief for a nooner anytime she wants."
Kim's eye got a devious look in them.
"Leave everything to me."
Shego just nodded, trusting that Kim had a way to work things to suit her needs.
"So when do you want to take care of dear Betty?"
Kim smirked.
"Just as soon as everything has been confirmed. It's only fitting that the new head of Global Justice be the one to dispose of the old one."
Shego placed a hand suggestively on Kim.
"Your sexy when your plotting Princess."
Kim returned the touch with a sexy look and leaned into Shego.
"Only when I'm plotting?"
Before Shego could reply the phone rang. She looked mildly surprised before Kim explained.
"That's going to be some bureaucrat calling about Global Justice. I let that number leak to a few high level individuals I helped in the past just incase my plan actually worked."
Shego looked slightly upset, but Kim wasn't fazed.
"You said the line was untraceable, and besides how else did you expect them to contact me to offer me the position?"
Kim picked up the ringing phone.
"Hello? Yes...I see...oh really? I see...well not that I'm not flattered but why me?"
Shego rolled her eyes at Kim's innocent act.
"Well yes...but….I understand….Where? What time? Ok I'll make sure I'm there.
Kim hung up the phone and turned back to Shego.
"I was right. They want me to come to some closed door meeting at the U.N. tomorrow at 7am to discuss my future. "
Shego raised an eyebrow.
"Then what?"
"Well whoever that was didn't say much more then that, but I would guess that if things go well that they will make some kind of official announcement that will be broadcast on TV and set a date for an official swearing in ceremony."
Kim grinned devilishly.
"We've won Shego. "
She returned to leaning in towards Shego.
"Now, where were we…"
:The next day:
Betty shut off her TV in disgust. A press conference had just been held naming Kim Possible the new director of Global Justice. The TV news pundits had all declared it a bold move and a signal that Global Justice was on it's way to restoring it's lost glory and respect. Betty knew the truth though, she knew that a dark time was beginning. She may not have known what exactly Kim Possible's plan was, however she knew she had to stop it. The problem she had run into though was a total lack of ability in how to find her.
All her old contacts had frozen her out or come up empty and the former teen hero was still making her appearances in public to brief to be useful. With no idea of how to find her and no idea of where she would be, Betty knew she only had one chance and that was the announced swearing in ceremony. She didn't know how she was going to get in, or how she was going to stop Kim, but she knew she was going to save the world from it's own stupidity even if it meant having kill Kim Possible. She spent the rest of the evening planning her moves and trying to account for every conceivable possibility, acts which would in the end come to naught.
- - -
It was around 2am as she was flipping through the TV, thoughts of Kim Possible's master plan running through her head, that she snapped her gaze backwards towards the sudden sound of her door opening.
Kim Possible, followed by the thief Shego who closed the door behind her, walked in as if they owned the place.
"Hello Betty. Did you hear the news? I've been made the new head of Global Justice."
Betty rose stiffly, eyeing the body language of the two women for any indication of an attack.
"Kim Possible...I would say I'm surprised to see you, but I'm not as foolish as the rest of the damn world. You've come to settle things between us?"
Kim just smirked.
"I can't have you ruining everything and knowing you you had some plan to do just that. "
Betty walked away from her couch, taking slow deliberate steps. As she passed her side table, covered in various personal objects and knick knacks, she slipped her arms behind her back and subtly pressed a single button hidden just below the wooden rim of the table, an action seemingly unnoticed by either Kim or Shego who were both staring directly into Betty's eye.
Betty struck a fighting pose.
"Well then, lets settle this once and for all."
Hoping that an early attack would throw her off balance Betty rushed Kim, feigning a high punch. As Kim reached up to block it Betty dropped down and performed a low helicopter kick, slamming both of her legs into Kim. Kim lurched sideways from the force of the strike. Shego, who had been standing behind Kim immediately lit her hands and slashed downward, her plasma missing Betty's legs by a hair's width as Betty rolled backwards to a standing position. Shego launched a volley of plasma balls directly as Betty, not allowing the woman even a second to breathe. Betty crouched and leapt up as the plasma balls burnt into the ground she had just been occupying. As she landed she found Kim waiting, her fist slamming into Betty's midsection, throwing the one eyed woman back across her living room. Betty groaned in pain as she felt her back slam into a wall. She recovered as best as she could.
"Was this what you did to Bonnie Rockwaller? To Ron Stoppable?"
She managed to dodge Kim's quick series of punches, but Shego's high kick met her stomach and she doubled over.
"Ron and Bonnie got what they deserved, just like you are."
Betty rose with some effort and slammed her arms sideways, catching Kim in the side.
"What they deserved? They kissed behind your back and you tortured them for it, killed them for it. You are truly are insane if you think what you did was deserved. What about the rest of the world? Do they deserve what your going to do to them?"
Shego bounded close to Betty and swiped her claws across Betty's arm, eliciting a scream of pain from Betty. Kim used Betty's momentary loss of focus to slam her palm in Betty's shoulder, sending the woman stumbling backwards.
"What I'm going to do is change the world, make it a better place. I used to think being the good guy was enough, that I could save the world one person at a time, but Ron and Bonnie showed me that no matter how good you are it doesn't matter, people will always just end up hurting each other, it's how this world has made them. Well I won't accept this world anymore, I'm going to do what needs to be done to make it good again and that starts with removing you and everything you represent."
Betty cursed as Kim arched backwards dodging the kick Betty threw out. Her curse began a scream of intense pain as Kim slammed her own leg into the leg Betty had been supporting her failed kick with and felt the bone shatter. Betty crumpled to the ground, the pain of her suddenly broken leg overwhelming her. Despite it, or perhaps because of it, she began laughing.
"You killed your best friend and a girl you went to school with and I'm the villain in your story? Your not really clear on the concept of heroes and villains are you? Your a killer plain and simple and nothing you will ever do will erase all the evil you've done. You say you want to make a better world but all your doing is drowning it in blood."
Kim looked down at Betty.
"I'm sick of you judging me. I'm sick of you deciding who I am, what I am. This world has been controlled by people like you for long enough."
Kim placed her foot on Betty's chest as she prepared to make her final strike.
Betty's final words came with an amused tone.
"It always comes back to control…"
Kim slammed her foot down on Betty's throat, smashing it inward and killing her instantly.
She had just began to raise her foot back up when the front door burst open and a squad of policemen burst in, guns drawn.
"Freeze."
Kim and Shego did just that as the sudden arrival of the men surprised them. The various men quickly surveyed the scene and their faces all went to a look of horror.
"Your...Your Kim Possible…"
The speaking cop looked down at the dead form of Betty Director, whose blood was still dripping of Kim's foot.
"You killed her.…"
Shego and Kim stood unmoving as the men continued training their weapons on them. Shego spoke in a low tone only Kim was able to hear given their closeness.
"Princess we've got to take care of them."
Kim's reply was not as certain as Shego had been expecting.
"But they're innocent...there has to be another way."
Shego grimaced, ignoring the commands of the cops who had begun moving towards them. She look directly at Kim, the seriousness of her words apparent in her eyes.
"No one is truly innocent Princess, you said you so yourself. If we don't do something everything we've worked for is going to be lost. Real change has a high cost so make a choice, let them live and lose the world or save the world and…"
Kim cut Shego off by dashing towards the approaching cops and slamming her fists into the chests of both of them. Though she struck with force, her face displayed a tortured look of regret as she moved among them. Shego saw the rest of the men tense and swing their guns toward Kim ready to fire, but she acted quicker then their trigger fingers would ever be, launching two plasma balls and watching as their suits began to become engulfed by the flames. The suited men could only scream in terror and fall to the floor as they desperately tried to put out the flames.
The rest of the uniformed men, who had been to stunned by the pairs quick action to react, fell in quick succession, each tumbling to the floor with a broken neck. Kim turned back to Shego with a saddened look on her face as the last man fell to the floor and spoke in a soft tone.
"We had to do it...to save the world…"
Shego just walked over and held Kim in her arms.
The incident that night would forever remain a mystery. The officers that would arrive later would find only an empty home with obvious signs of a struggle and the odd scent of burnt ozone in the air. Investigations would be launched and many searches would be made but no trace of Betty Director or the other officers would ever be found and all would pass into history as missing, presumed dead.
:A Month Later:
Kim gave an appreciative smile as Shego walked out of her bedroom, a towel wrapped around her form, her hair still wet from the shower.
"Very nice Shego."
Shego smirked, as she always did.
"Your damn right it's nice. I work hard for this body."
It was the night before the swearing in ceremony and Kim and Shego had spent the day going over their carefully laid plans. Though both women knew their parts by heart at this point, neither wanted to leave anything to chance.
Shego looked at Kim with a serious stare.
"You sure they'll buy it?"
Kim just grinned darkly.
"They'll believe anything I tell them at this point."
Kim grin turned lecherous
"Now, why don't I help you out of that towel and into a warm bed."
Shego smirked but put up a hand.
"Only if you keep your "help" above the equator Princess, we aren't celebrating like that till it's all over and done with.
Kim pouted playfully and protested but finally relented and followed Shego into her room.
:The Next Morning:
Kim's dark smile had been present ever since the limo had picked her up. Everything she and Shego had worked for was coming to fruition. Once she was head of Global Justice the real change could begin, and she was already forming the list of her first acts in her mind. As she stepped out of the limo the security detail that had been assigned to her immediately swarmed, forming a protective ring. It felt unusual for Kim, she had never needed or wanted such protection, but the bureaucrats in charge of the ceremony had insisted and so as she began walking to her place just off stage as camera bulbs flashed and crowds cheered and she did her best to tolerate the wall of dark suited men around her.
Standing off stage she listened to the band play the opening song and the host of delegates begin their various speeches. It was a boring and needless waste of time in her opinion, but it was how these types of things always seemed to go so there was little she could do. As she waited for her cue she surveyed the crowd, giving only the smallest hint of a smile as her eyes met Shego's who stood amongst the crowd. Shego was doing her best to blend in, her normal black and green outfit hidden beneath a seemingly average outfit. Most people wouldn't have given her a second glance, especially since her normally pale skin had been hidden with special makeup.
Finally a dignitary from some small country in Europe finished his speech and introduced Kim to the crowd.
She walked out onto the stage to loud cheers and the sound of a thousand cameras snapping pictures. She smiled graciously at the crowd and took her place at the center of the stage. A robed man walked up and began instructing her to recite after him, which she did. As the last words of her oath of office left her lips the crowd again went wild, but she held up her hand to them and began her prepared speech.
"I'd like to thank everyone here for this opportunity and I'd like to say…"
Her speech had hardly begun when it was cut off by a large angry yell from Shego who had shed her costume and was leaping onto the stage. Shego lit both her hands and stood menacingly in front of Kim.
"Awww looks like little Kimmie has a fan club. I know I didn't get an invitation but you didn't think I'd miss your special day did you?"
The crowd went wild and screamed as security began storming towards the stage.
Kim yelled into the microphone.
"Everyone calm down. I will handle this, I don't want anyone else to risk getting hurt."
Before security could reach the stage Kim dashed forward and grabbed Shego's wrists and threw the thief sideways against the stage wall. Shego recovered instantly and launched a spinning kick at Kim. As they had rehearsed Kim spun on her side, allowing the kick to just must her as she thrust her leg out and caught Shego in a low kick. As Shego fell back she threw a few plasma balls at Kim who easily jumped over them. When Shego had landed Kim rushed forward and slammed her foot into the thief's chest. As Shego bent over in fake pain Kim followed up with a sweep to the back of Shego's legs, knocking the thief onto her knees. Seeing their chance security hit the stage and began to drag Shego away but before they had made it even halfway to the stage exit Kim raised her hand and ordered them to stop as she turned and looked out at the crowd.
"I am not going to be like the last head Global Justice. How many times did she lock up a criminal only for us to see them escape? How many times did we see the world threatened and people hurt because of this? All she ever did was solve force with more force and all it gave the world was terror and destruction. How many times do we have to see the same tired methods used again and again when we all know they don't work? As the new head of Global Justice I say it is time we change those methods, starting right now."
Kim looked over at Shego, who was pretending to struggle against the grip of the various security officers that held her.
"Shego you have been a constant enemy of mine since I started out as a hero years ago. We have fought time and again, neither of us ever truly winning. There are those who say you should be locked away for good and never let out, but we both know the truth, there isn't a prison in the world that could hold you, you'd just escape again and everything would start over.
The crowd began to mummer as Kim continued her speech.
"Well I'm not willing to let innocent people get hurt anymore, instead I am offering you a choice, right here right now. Let us end this stupid pointless cycle. If you are willing to undergo a rehabilitation program that I will personally supervise, I will provide with a position in Global Justice upon your completion.
The crowd gasped in surprise but Kim continued.
"Aren't you tired of living a life on the run? Of always having to hide, never able to stay in one place for to long? Don't you remember what your life was like before? You used to be a hero Shego, you used to be an idol to people around the world and it's not to late to return to that. Take my offer, join the new Global Justice and put your skills to a better use."
Shego grinned slyly impressed with Kim's speech. She pretended to think it over.
"Throw in my own jet and personal masseuse and you've got a deal Kimmie."
Kim just smirked.
"We'll discuss everything after you've completed the rehabilitation. Gentlemen, please escort Shego peacefully offstage, I will join you momentarily."
As Shego was led off stage by security the crowd broke out into a loud cheer, equally shocked and impressed by this unexpected turn of events. Kim turned back to the crowd and leaned forward, gripping the podium as she smiled widely.
"I hope everyone approves of my first act as the new head of Global Justice. I promise every single person here that under my command things are going to change, I will make Global Justice and the whole world better again."
:Six Month Later:
Kim paced in front of the squad of soldiers as the plane flew them to their destination. The six months since the ceremony had passed seemingly in an instant. The news media had, at first, been resistant to Kim's rehabilitation offer for criminals, with many stating that such a soft stance on crime would not go far, but the success of Shego, who now went by the name Sharon Go, had quickly assuaged their fears. Shego had started as a simple field agent in Global Justice, but thanks to Kim's position had begun to rise quickly.
Kim's current mission involved Duff Killigan. He had decided that now was the perfect time to try and steal national monuments for his own personal miniature golf course. Unlike Betty Director Kim enjoyed taking part in Global Justice's missions and did so as often as she was able, an occurrence which her men never seemed to get quite used to.
Kim just smirked as the red light on the plan lit, signaling that the time for the parachute jump had come. She had made great strides in the six months so far, but she knew there was still a long way to go and people like Duff Killigan were going to find out they had no place in her new world.
:Six More Months Later:
Kim looked down and tried to calm herself as the door to the secret chamber containing her family slid close. She visited them everyday, telling them everything she had done, how much good she was doing, how proud they would be. She wanted so much to show them her better world, so that they could understand why she had to do what she had done, but it wasn't ready...not yet. She sighed and hoped, as she did every night, that tomorrow would be the day it would be. She turned and pressed a button on the wall of her room and walked through the passage behind it.
Shego smirked as a section of her wall slid open and Kim came walking into her room. Unknown to anyone at Global Justice Kim and Shego had a passage that connected their two rooms. It was easier, they had decided, then having to put up with world scrutiny should anyone see them in a relationship. Despite Kim's efforts the world hadn't yet become that open minded yet. Officially Shego was just Kim's second in command, the highest ranking member of Global Justice excluding Kim herself. She would have laughed at the idea if it hadn't been nothing more then an act.
Under Kim's rule, and largely due to Shego as well, Global Justice had been transformed in the past year. World wide crime was dropping rapidly as all the world's most notable and major villains had been captured and sent for "rehabilitation". If anyone ever asked after them, which few did, the official response was that they had rejected the program and were now rotting in a cell somewhere. The truth…well the truth was something no outside of the current room would ever really know. World opinion of Global Justice, of Kim, even of Shego was at an all time high, with Kim's wide sweeping programs of enforcement meeting with little resistance from the countries of the world. It hadn't been all easy though, there were still those that would pop up occasionally and disturb the new world order and Kim would reluctantly be forced to remove them, permanently.
Kim sat at the edge of Shego's bed and looked over at the thief. Seeing Shego always made her feel better. She smiled as she told Shego her good news.
"They passed the new act with only a single opposing vote. Now should any poor country suddenly find itself the victim of a devastating disaster and unable to govern effectively, authority of rule is transferred to Global Justice until such time as order and government can be restored."
Shego just grinned.
"That's the worst thing about disasters, you can never tell when they will happen."
She walked over next to Kim, placing a long and passionate kiss on the redhead's lips as she sat down and motioned toward the magazine she had been holding.
"We made the cover of Time again."
Kim sank backwards onto the bed, pulling Shego with her and tossing the magazine into the air.
"Time can wait, I can't."
As the two women began what had become a nightly ritual for them the magazine landed on the ground with a soft thud. It's cover bore a simple picture of Kim and Shego standing back to back with serious looks on their faces, a small declaration banner just below their feet.
Kim & Shego: The Supreme Ones.
