Kim Possible: Model Hero

By LJ58

Rather than wait, Kim and Shego went down to the lobby, took a seat in the dining room, and ordered lunch before the teams could surround the hotel. By then, Ron, Dr. Director, and three GJ agents swarmed the hotel, leaving the rest outside to cover escape routes.

Kim giggled as she watched the agents rush up the stairs as Ron and Dr. Director took the lift.

Ten minutes later, they were back in the lobby, looking around.

The head clerk finally pointed their way through the wood and glass partition.

Kim pointedly waved them over as the diners just gaped.

Many of whom were press members who were waiting around for the next phase of the story.

"Hi, Ron. How's Monique," she asked as the sandy-haired ninja frowned at her.

"You don't look mind-controlled," he sputtered.

"Is that what you think," Kim laughed, looking at Dr. Director. "You overlook Jack Hench, but if Shego tries to come out, and do some good, you think I'm being mind-controlled?"

"Do you have to say it like that," Shego groaned.

"Coming out," Kim said blatantly.

"Doing good," Shego corrected her.

Kim laughed.

"What are we supposed to think, Kimberly," Dr. Director demanded as she took station just to her side, as the other three agents, all heavily armed, and armored, moved to surround them.

"You guys want to pull up chairs," Kim asked them. "They have a great lamb dish here if you don't want the traditional haggis."

"They have haggis," Ron asked, approaching the table. "I always wanted to try that."

Several locals gave him approving smiles.

"Dr. Director," she asked, gesturing to a free chair.

The woman just stared.

"What are you trying to pull, Kimberly? Because I do not believe for one instant…."

"Wade," she called, having picked up the Kimmunicator setting on the table by her glass. "Will you scan us, and tell me if anyone here is being mind-controlled?"

A few moments later, Wade, with a faint smirk, said, "All clear, Kim. No extraneous gear, or tech in the area. Unless you count the mini-frags, and two mini-lasers Dr. Director is carrying."

"Overkill much," Shego smirked as Kim put the Kimmunicator down after shutting it off. "Not that they'd stop me, if I had a reason to run."

"You still have a lot of outstanding wants, woman," Dr. Director spat, yet to sit down. "I'm well within my rights to take you into custody on any number of them."

"In Scotland," she smiled.

More than a few locals looked less than pleased now, Shego having become a bit of a celebrity to them the past few days in Kim's company. It didn't hurt that she had used her skills to help find a lost girl in the mountains, since next to Kim, there weren't many people as skilled as Shego at tracking someone down even among the locals.

"Global Justice has a charter with….."

"I'm not wanted here," Shego pointed out.

"And, if you don't listen to her, you won't get the next bit of evidence that she really is trying to straighten out her life, and go straight," Kim added, knowing very well that every ear in the room was listening.

Especially the members of the press that had come for a fluff story on models, and ended up falling into the biggest story in months.

"All right," the canny agent said, dragging a chair slightly away from the table, and sitting carefully. "Convince me."

"I know Jack Hench's operation better than he does. I also know who is planning what, at least for the next few weeks, and can tip you off to at least five major capers in the works. Including two high profile assassinations being planned among them. And I know where Drew is hiding most of his ill-gotten gains you never managed to recover after his last jailbreak."

Dr. Director eyed her.

"Which I did not perform," Shego added pointedly.

"And you supposedly tipped Kimberly off about the hijackers?"

"Why would she lie," Shego asked blandly.

"Why, indeed," Dr. Director murmured, eyeing them both.

Ron turned from the waiter, smiling almost as much as the young man who had just made a very sizeable order, and glanced at Shego.

"I believe them."

"You weren't even paying attention," the woman sniffed.

Kim laughed.

"You still don't know Ron very well, do you," she laughed. "So, how is Monique?"

"Man, she actually told me I had to eat healthy at least three days a week," he exclaimed now. "Talk about harsh. On the plus side, she scored tickets to GWA SlapFest XIX. Having a girlfriend with connections rules," he grinned happily.

"I'll tell her you said so," Kim drawled dryly.

"Uh, not that you weren't great. But, you know, we didn't have the spark. Not like…. Well, we didn't have it. Guess I know why, now," he smiled. "So, is Shego the rebound guy? Uh, girl?"

"Oy! Does he ever stop to think first," Shego complained.

"Not if I can help it," Ron replied for Kim. "Saves on problems later."

"He's serious, isn't he," Shego asked, gaping at him as their food began to arrive.

"Sure we can't tempt you to join us," Kim asked Dr. Director as her agents eyed the plates with evident interest as they started to relax.

Until Dr. Director glanced sharply their way.

"I'm still not convinced. I need details."

"You want details," Shego smiled, and leaned over to whisper to her. "Mrs. Mulligan is a plant put in place by Gemini to keep an eye on you. She's a WEE double-agent."

Dr. Director stared at her as Shego sat up straight, and sipped her water, since she was keeping a clear head today as she faced her longtime nemesis.

"Want more details? I can tell you how long she's been spying for him, and Jack. I can tell you how often she's broke into your house, and what she did there. I can tell you where Gemini's failsafe bomb is located he planted three months ago after he really got tweaked at you. I have the disarming code, too."

Dr. Director just stared.

"You'd really turn on…..that community?"

Shego turned to Kim, smiled, then looked back at her.

"In a heartbeat. Jack crossed a line. It made me take a hard look at myself, and I decided it was past time I chose the right path. I knew if I was going to…..do it right….I had to prove to Kimberly I was sincere. If I could show her….."

"And along the way you fell in love with her," Ron summarized when the woman trailed off, and just stared at Kim.

All three women stared at him.

"C'mon! It's obvious. Everyone loves Kim. It'd be wrong if you didn't," he declared authoritatively as he actually smiled at Shego. "So, yeah, I can see it."

"How about you," Kim asked Dr. Director.

"I still need….details. Beyond my own life, which is incidental."

Shego, still smiling, leaned over, and murmured again.

"In two days, a PLO operative is going to be in place to take out the German Parliament, and try to destabilize the nation before an upcoming rally. I know who he is, what gear he's using, and where he's located."

She sat up again, and smiled at Kim.

"Don't worry. I sent the details to their government. When the guy moves, he'll find a lot of very capable German agents waiting on him," Shego smiled. "I do have more, as promised. It's all yours."

"For a price," Dr. Director asked knowingly.

"Free of charge. Because it's the right thing to do," Shego told her with apparent earnestness.

Dr. Director truly frowned now.

"You're doing this….because of Kim."

"Yes. She showed me another way. A better way. I'll admit," she laughed as she eyed the redhead. "I was slow, and some might say a bit stubborn, but….I did learn."

Dr. Director slowly stood up.

"I'll be in your room, Possible. Finish your meal," she said, eyeing her. "Then, we'll have a more…private chat. Stay on post," she snapped at her men. "And stay alert."

Then she turned, and marched out of the dining room toward the lift.

"Wow," Shego murmured. "I see she still has that stick firmly planted," making even Kim laugh.

One of the agents even dared crack a smile.

"Guys, you can relax. Sit down, order if you like," Kim told them. "We're going to eat. Then we'll go upstairs, and try to calm her down. No one will try anything. You have my word."

"And mine," Ron said with a full mouth.

The three agents looked at one another, one shrugged, and all three pulled out chairs as they set their weapons down under their seats. The waiter was there in the same instant.

"I knew it," Bonnie murmured as she packed for college.

"Knew what, sweetie," her mother asked as Bonnie watched the television with the latest news about Kim, and Shego.

Bonnie only grinned as Shego stood in front of the press, talking about a recent deal with Global Justice for a provisional amnesty in return for her good behavior.

And a little help.

"….will you be helping Kim Possible if she goes back to saving the world," someone asked her.

Shego seemed to ponder it for all of three seconds as she smiled at the redhead standing nearby in a very stylish dress in Shego's favorite colors.

"Well, I have already decided to give my Kimmie anything she desires."

Kim cleared her throat.

"Unless, you know, it's illegal," the green-skinned woman smiled, looking at Kim with eyes that said far more than words just then.

Then, she blatantly winked at Kim.

The redhead rolled her eyes.

"Looks like Kim has already moved on," Connie smirked, eyeing the report, too. "Sure you didn't just play her for that scholarship."

"I didn't have to play her," Bonnie said, thinking of her most unlikely friend of all time. "She had already given the scholarship to me even before we broke up. Honestly," she said after a moment as the reporter commented on the most unlikely of all romances in the world since King Kong, or Beauty and the Beast. "She's just that nice. Kim really wants to help….everyone. She really is all that," she murmured, a secret part of her still wishing there had been another way.

Maybe... Some day.
