Kim Possible: Wonder Girl

Diana regarded Kim as they hovered in the now blue sky over the heads of the crowd below that milled around Shego.
"You did well," Diana told her. "Before I go, there are things I need to tell you. Things I need to share."
"Go," Kim asked, looking somber now. "Are you going to….tyr to go back?"
Diana smiled.
"That, Kim, is one of the things I need to share with you. First, take hold," she said, and held out her lasso.
"But….?"
"Take hold," she echoed.
Kim took a free end, and Diana pulled.
The lasso stretched longer and longer, and then Diana jerked it back, snapping it off near the center as Kim realized she was holding a coiled cord easily as long as Diana's who was now replacing the lasso at her side.
"The lasso is magic," she reminded Kim. "It was my right to share it with one who can use it. Just remember, all gifts….."
"Are given with a charge."
"I've my own. Before I left Themyscira," Diana told her, "I saw Athena, too. She sent me here with a purpose."
"Because Ares wasn't enough," Kim snorted. "No, sorry. I'm just…. What else is there?"
"There is always more," Diana chortled. "Athena has seen the good you have done, and knows the value of symbols. She has sent me to this word to find, and train new heroes for the next generation. As well as to show this world the Amazon way."
"So, you're not going home?"
"That, Kimberly, is the boon we have both earned. Athena has decreed we may visit Themyscira at our whim anytime in the future. We, and only we, may come and go as we wish while we are in the service of the gods."
"And….how long is that," Kim asked, genuinely astonished at that one.
"Kim," Diana smiled, shaking her head. "You do recall we are immortal?"
"We," the redhead frowned.
"Yes, sister. Recall, you do now share my gifts. All of them."
Kim stared for a moment, one hand going over her new lasso now at her side, and looked somber a moment longer before she nodded to Diana. Still, that was one she wouldn't be sharing anytime soon. It raised too many implications that she didn't want to face just then.
"Will you….be all right?"
"I have learned much from you, and your computer, Kimberly. I am a princess of the Amazons. And, do you ever need me again, just call."
"You, too. If you ever need me…."
She paused, and tossed Diana her Kimmunicator.
"Just let Wade know, and I'll be there in a heartbeat."
"The gods keep you, Kim," Diana said, and turned, and flew off toward the east.
Kim didn't know where she was going, or what she was planning, but she respected the woman, and her strength enough to know she would be fine. Then, too, there were the obviously very real gods out there watching over all of them.
Some, she considered, not as friendly as others.
She looked out across the blue sky, remembering the more friendly goddess she had met, and gave an Amazon salute to the rising sun. "Thank you," she told whoever was listening, and then turned to descend back to the crowd gathered around an uneasy Shego who had been watching her all along. Patently ignoring the crowd, some of who were still shouting questions at her.
And now Kim.
"Possible," a barbed tongue hissed as Kim landed to see Bonnie among the crowd. "I knew you had to be behind this madness. I'm gone two years, and my first trip back, you show up, and turn my homecoming into a….."
She was drowned out by more appreciative voices around her even as several of the reporters shouted more questions, and flashes went off as she was photographed from all angles.
Kim slid one strong arm around Shego, making some go silent as they gaped, and addressed the woman as if alone.
"Wanna get out of here."
"Oh, yeah," Shego said earnestly.
"I'll explain everything later," she told them, and leapt into the air, Shego gasping as the redhead carried her aloft with an ease that stunned her.
"You're not going to do this very often, are you," Shego rasped, staring down at the ground getting farther and farther away as Kim rose into the sky under her own power.
"Don't worry, I won't drop you."
Shego didn't say a word to that as she grit her teeth, and tried very hard not to look down.
"So, all this god stuff is real, and you got divinely zapped, but good?"
"I told you that at the start."
"I've seem amped muscles, and clever tricks before," she told Kim earnest. "But I've never seen anyone fly without….."
Kim only smiled.
"Where are we going?"
"Well, not home. By now, Dr. Director may be looking for you again. I'm not going to let her just drag you off if she thinks the danger is gone."
"No?"
"No. So, I thought we'd go someplace private, talk, and make a few plans. For our future."
"When you say….our future," Shego asked, their height forgotten as she looked into those bright, green eyes.
"I love you. You love me. Everything else is details," Kim smiled. "We'll work it out."
Shego didn't say a word.
"I'm not doing the hero thing again. Just so you know."
"You just did," Kim teased. "Saved the whole world. Again."
"Gah!"
"That doesn't mean you have to go into the business. You can stay at home, and be anyone, and anything you want."
"And you?"
"Well, my power comes with responsibility, I've been told. Athena kind of hinted that there would be things to do. Diana reminded me of that before she left," she said, dropping down atop a wooded plateau not far from town.
"Nice view," Shego smiled, looking not at the valley below where the town sprawled out before them, but at Kim in her very snug costume.
"Flattery will get you kissed," Kim murmured, and did just that.
"Then prepare for tons of endless adulation, Kimmie," Shego smiled when their lips parted.
"I was thinking," Kim murmured standing there in a light, but mutual embrace with the one woman on the planet that had long held her heart.
"Hmmmm?"
"A house? Here? Lots of privacy. Room to….exercise. Or whatever."
"No one to spy on us," Shego suggested knowingly.
"There is that," she said, just before the low whine of hyper-accelerated turbines reached their ears, and they looked up to see not one, but three sleek, black and red VTOL's landing nearby.
"Figures," Shego sighed. "I swear, she's worse than your turbo-nerd."
"Don't worry. I can handle her," Kim said as Dr. Director herself stepped off the jet first when it landed.
"Kimberly," the woman nodded grimly as no less than a dozen agents spread out around them.
"Come on," Shego huffed. "We just took down a genuine god, with his moldering army, and you guys think you are going to take us on now?"
"Us," Dr. Director echoed pointedly.
"Shego is out of the villainy business, Dr. Director," Kim told her. "She's given me her word."
"Is that right?"
"That's right," Shego nodded, but glowered at the one-eyed woman all the same.
"She said she was out before," the agent reminded Kim as Will came up behind the women with a curious weapon in his hand.
"But she never gave her word. This time, she did. To me."
"She's still wanted."
"I know. By me."
"By….?"
Will sputtered, staring at her in confusion.
"Don't think about it, errand boy," Shego sniggered. "Wouldn't want your head to explode."
"Shego," Dr. Director chided her.
Shego sniffed.
Kim only sighed.
"Can we just get to the bottom line? If you were serious, you'd have brought more men. What are you looking for, Dr. Director," Kim asked.
"You. And Shego. You've obviously…..matured, Kimberly. With your….new skills….."
"I'm sorry. I can't join you."
"What," Dr. Director asked.
"But, I will help you. I'll still help anyone that needs me. Anyone. But I have a new code that comes with the uniform I wear now, and I hope you understand that."
"You have a duty," Will began.
Dr. Director cut him off with a curt gesture.
"This has to do with the Amazon princess that just landed in Washington, demanding to address the President?"
"She did," Kim smiled.
"She did. After walking through four squads of Marines who had as much luck slowing her down as…..a tank."
"She's really here to help. She's still learning about Man's world," Kim continued to smile. "So, I hope you'll be….. Ah, what did she say?"
"I don't know. He won't share," Dr. Director said, her tone suggesting 'Yet' was implied.
"So, back to us," Kim asked. "Will you trust me, and Shego, not to cause any trouble. Well, unless they deserve it."
"She's joining you?"
Kim glanced at Shego, who didn't say a word.
"You could say that. I don't know if she's going to be….active in the field, but….you have to admit, she'd bring a lot of information to our side if you didn't…make her mad."
"There is that," the head of Global Justice murmured, eyeing Shego coolly. "But how do we know she'll be staying with you?"
"Oh, I think I can guarantee that," Kim said. "We're getting married."
"I think you broke her," Shego smirked twenty minutes later as the GJ jets rose into the sky, and flew away.
"Actually, I think you broke her. Suggesting we'd be having children?"
"We can always adopt," Shego told her. "I always wanted a family," she said earnestly. "But…."
"Whatever comes, we'll face it together," Kim told her, and pulled her back into her arms.
Shego gave a knowing grin as she did.
"Tell the truth. You knew Bets was coming, and led her out here to keep anyone from overhearing us."
"Partially," Kim admitted. Then gestured around them with one hand. "But I was serious. What do you think? A house over there. A hangar there."
"Hangar?"
"Well, even I don't know how far I can fly. And I doubt you want me carrying you around everywhere we go."
"Uh, no," Shego sputtered.
"I don't know. It was kind of fun," Kim smiled.
Shego sighed.
"You need a new definition of fun, Princess."
"I think I have one," she said, and folded her arms around the green-skinned woman, and pulled her lips back to hers.
Shego's murmur was of pure agreement.
"So, where's the bedroom," Shego asked after a moment as she glanced around them.
Kim couldn't help but laugh.
End….
