Above the Clouds

Summary -- After Shego wakes up in a hospital, Kim is told that her recovery will be long and painful... will she be able to help? (The actual sequel to Fallin' With Broken Wings)

Disclaimer -- Once again, don't own it, wish I did, but I do own the plot, it came right outta my head.

Author's Note: Thanks for being patient with me guys, but I had to write the back story and then this idea popped into my head. And that's really all "Will I Fly Again?" was, it was a backstory so that this would make more sense.

The white walls around her seemed to through off her foggy mind at first and then the beeping in her left ear confused her even further. Where the hell was she? Blinking her eyes to try and clear the fog took a few moments before she just decided to use her hands to rub her eyes clear, but it took more effort to move her right hand than her left and she looked down to see a mass of foggy red and she blinked again to try and focus the image. With the help of eye-rubbing and blinking, she finally managed to get the image clear and she watched the mass of red hair shift slightly with the girl's breathing… she looked familiar. She moved her hand to reach out to the sleeping girl, and it seemed to take a lot of will power because it seemed like minutes before her hand reached the top of the girl's head. The girl's head moved until her hand was laying on flesh the girl nuzzled into the hand before realizing something and waking up.

"Shego?" She said in a tired whispered and then her eyes opened wide. "Shego!" She exclaimed and hugged the woman. Not knowing what else to do, she hugged the girl back slowly wrapping her arms around the smaller woman. After a few moments the door opened and an older woman in a white lab coat and professional clothes walked in and she smiled at her.

"Well, good morning Miss Shego, I see that you're well this morning. And awake, that's always a plus." The woman grinned and moved toward the woman in the bed. So my name's Shego… Then at that realization, everything seemed to come rushing back and she had to blink a few times for her mind to clear and she looked at the doctor and then at the redhead before leaning over the side of the bed and emptying her stomach all over the sterilized floor. When all of her stomach was finally empty, she began drying heaving and then she realized that somebody was rubbing her back and keeping her hair out of her face.

"Are you okay Shego?" The woman didn't looked at her just sat there with her head held down as she remembered all that she had done in the past five years just to forget what she had lived. If only to forget, and now she couldn't, there it was at the forefront of her mind now. "Shego?"

"Why didn't you leave me there? I was fine where I was." The older woman spoke and Kim seemed shocked. "That place was heaven to me."

"I can't believe you would say that, Shego. That place was close to Hell on Earth." The redhead stated. "You probably don't even know what you were doing half the time." The older woman went from her sitting position to a laying position, still facing away from Kim. "Why would you say that?"

"Because it's true." Kim's excitement about Shego's awakening was gone as Shego shared her thoughts about the time before her trip to the hospital that she was currently in. "Leave me alone." She said in a low voice, and Kim heard her loud and clear. Not wanting a repeat of the last time, she quietly moved from the bed and followed the doctor out of the room. When they were gone, Shego only had one other person come in, and that was a janitor to clean up the mess she had made. She didn't acknowledge the man, she just stared off into space.

"Was she like this before you lost track of her Kim?" The doctor asked as they walked down the hallway back to the doctor's office. "Depression doesn't seem like something this Shego woman would let take over."

"I don't know why she's depressed, we were enemies before I found her in that house. Of course, she claims that I tried to kill her a few years ago when I kicked her into an electric tower. Really all I was, was mad and she still claimed that I intended to kill her… but… but that doesn't seem like something to push Shego over the edge. She's always been such a strong woman." The doctor nodded at this and opened the door to her office and let Kim in before her.

"Do you know just how many drugs were in her system?" Kim shook her head. "At the time it was heroine, cocaine, marijuana, and ecstasy; and there's no telling what she had before then. She was looking for a high and just one drug wasn't doing it for her. There were no signs of sexual abuse, but then again, if you're doped up that much anything is possible." The doctor stated and Kim nodded her head in understanding. "But I'm sure she'll be fine once she's checked out. The depression could be a symptom of her withdrawal, but we won't know for sure until it's over. She's going to be in a lot of pain over the next few weeks, Kimberly, she's going to need someone." Kim nodded at this, still not looking at the woman. "Okay, well go get some rest in the doctor's lounge and I'll call your mom to tell her what's going on." Kim stood without much of a word and let the office silently.

-10 years ago-

"Hego, I swear to whatever god there is, if you don't shut up I'm gonna kill you!" The blue-colored hero stopped just looked at her as anger and rage filled his eyes at her statement, he couldn't even remember what they were arguing about, but now he knew that he could win this one.

"What? One brother wasn't enough sister? You have to get another?!" Mego and the Wego's looked at Hego with wide eyes knowing that the subject was still sore for their older sister. They knew that she didn't do it on purpose, but to all intents and purposes Shego had killed her twin brother. But now Shego stood there with her head bent down and her hair in front of her face and her fists alight with her green plasma energy with only seemed to get bigger and brighter as her anger seethed.

"That was low Hego, even for you." She said and she looked at him; she wasn't crying, but it looked like she might and Hego grinned in accomplishment, he had succeeded to hurt his sister for once in his life and won the argument. Without another word she left the room and Hego to gloat to those who really didn't want to know, Mego left the room shortly after, saying that he had to get some beauty sleep and the Wego's left Hego in the room by himself, not wanting to be apart of accomplishment he felt.

The twins came to her bedroom door and when they put their ears to the door they didn't hear anything, and that frightened them, so they opened the door and they saw their sister sitting on the edge of the bed looking at a picture. They knew the picture, it was of herself and her twin, and old picture. They were in Paris for their tenth birthday and their mother had taken a picture of them with cake on their faces when they dunked eachother's faces into the large cake for the four of them. All for of them had been born on the same day eight years apart.

"What do you two want? To throw something else at me… I've had enough." They just walked in and each took a side before hugging their sisters tightly. "Why do you two still like me?"

"Because we know that—"

"—you didn't want to kill him." They answered and she smiled before wrapping an arm around both of them and returning the hug with equal fervor. Too bad that they couldn't go with her… she didn't want them to follow her to where she was going…ever.

"Okay, twerps, it's getting late, you two get to bed." She said and they reluctantly left her alone to go to their own room to do as she asked. As soon as the door closed behind them she locked it and went to her closet and pulled out an already packed duffel bag and went to the window. Without leaving any sort of indication of where she was going or why she was leaving, she leapt out the window, leaving what little family she had left behind.
