Chapter 14: Broken and Grounded
Kim Possible and Sheridan Go woke up at exactly the same time in two very different places. Both of them however had the same sick, used feeling in the pit of their stomachs. The pale green woman and the red headed girl who were once enemies then lovers clutched their chests. Shego felt the all too familiar pain of a broken heart.
Kim felt a strange searing pain she had never felt before. It was like razor blades were cutting her lungs out. Until this moment she had never known it was possible to experience so much pain without a single mark of physical evidence. She hugged her knees and drew them into her. She began to weep again. Her whole body was shaking. “Shego!” she whimpered.
“Kimmie,” Shego uttered sniffling into the Cuddle Buddy she was holding to her chest. She swore long ago that she would never feel this pain again and yet here she was. She wanted rip her own heart out of her chest! Why did I let myself fall for her in the first place? I’m smarter than that. She threw the stuffed animal across the room.

There was a thunderous stomping of feet on the stairs leading to Kim Possible’s bedroom. She sat up bolt right in bed wiping the tears from her eyes as her father’s stern voice called from below, “We’re comin’ up Kimmie! Your mother and I need to talk with you!”
Kim got out of bed and stood facing the entrance of her room. She didn’t need a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon to tell her she was in trouble but that’s just what she got. Her parents ascended into her room looking grave.
“Kim, we got a call from your school,” her mother began.
As if things couldn’t get any worse, Kim thought.
“What happened dear?” her mother asked sounding concerned.
“It’s those blasted missions!” her father cut in, “They’re making you violent!”
“What?” Kim shrieked in disbelief, “No, it’s not that!”
“You destroyed the girl’s restroom and nearly killed Bonnie Rockwaller,” her mother reminded her looking disappointed.
“Killed?” Kim spat indignantly, “I only threatened her!”
“Oh, Kimmie no,” her mother gasped about to cry.
“You’re grounded young lady!” her father barked angrily, “and that includes missions!”
“What if the world needs saving?” Kim wailed. “You can’t just let the world be taken over because I’m grounded!”
“Kim, you’re not the only crime fighter on the planet,” her mother replied sadly, “The word will have to save itself for the next few days.”
“Look, I overreacted. I’m sorry!” Kim tried to get out of being grounded from missions. “Even I’m not immune to stress!”
“Well Kimmie, think of this as a little vacation from crime fighting,” her mother suggested trying to console her.
“And no boys!” her father instructed.
“Boys?” Kim queried in a confused tone wrinkling her forehead.
“No visitors Kim, that’s what your father meant,” Mrs. Dr. Possible clarified. “Now hand over your Kimmunicators and cell phone.”
“You can’t be serious!” the teen hero gasped in shock. She could tell by the looks on her parents faces they were deadly serious. She reluctantly handed them her Kimmunicators and cell phone. Her dad unplugged her computer and took it too.
“Great!” Kim grumbled falling back on her bed.
For just a moment Anne Possible paused in her decent downstairs and looked at her only daughter. She was certain there was something more going on than just stress from missions and she had a growing suspicion that this was something her daughter that ‘could do anything’ would need some help on.

Go Tower. Hego, Mego, and the Wegos sat around their Go table. They knew upstairs sleeping was their estranged evil sister.
“Why is she here?” Hego asked in a hushed tone. The twins just shrugged. Mego looked down. “MEGO?” Hego addressed the purple Go sternly as he narrowed his eyes and looked at his brother’s shifting posture.
“She’s… well,” Mego paused, “Go ask her yourself if you wanna know.”
“No way!” Hego snapped. The eldest Go was a little frightened at the thought of what is cranky sister might do to him if he went to check on her. “You go!”
“No one needs to go!” Shego announced striding casually into the room and plopping down in her green GO chair.
“Shego!” the Wegos cheerfully greeted her, “We missed you!” The green woman smiled softly at her youngest brothers.
The large monitor in the room lit up and Betty Director came into view. “Hello Team Go!” Betty called. “Shego,” she added looking at a now scowling Shego.
“Oh great!” Shego muttered folding her arms and looking away from the screen, “Just when my day couldn’t get any worse.”
“Kim Possible,” the director paused to see the villain’s reaction. Shego looked toward the screen once more and Betty smiled slightly, “Kim Possible is grounded and will not be able to go on missions. Should anything arise...”
“Grounded?” the ex-heroine asked sounding almost concerned then her usual tone returned. “What’d she do, forget to help an old lady cross the street?”
“She had a little nervous breakdown at school today… shortly after noon,” Betty added staring directly at the green woman. “She destroyed the girl’s restroom and threatened a fellow cheerleader.”
“Wow!” Hego gasped in surprise. “And Kim always seemed like such a sweet girl.”
“Sweet and spicy,” Mego sneered rolling his eyes towards his sister.
Shego shot Mego a dirty look and then retorted, “Yeah, sweet like poisoned Kool-Aid.”
“As I was saying, should anything come up, can I count on Team Go?” the director inquired.
“Certainly Betty!” Hego answered, proudly puffing out his chest. The twins nodded in agreement and Shego rolled her eyes.
“Oh why not,” Mego reluctantly agreed looking at Shego. Then everyone turned to look at Shego.
“Oh no… no-no… no way, not me!” the villain replied shaking her head and holding up her hands in front of her to wave off the suggestion.
“We will need all of Team Go,” Betty implored, “Please Sheridan!” Shego shuddered at the sound of her former lover calling her that again. “GJ would be in your debt if you’d be willing to help us.”
“Fine!” Shego spat finally, “But you owe me big time.”

A few hours later Shego returned back to Drakken’s lair. “Here are those extra yPods ya wanted,” she announced in a crankier than usual tone throwing the box at the blue man.
“Watch it will you! I’m working here,” Dr. Drakken fumed not looking up from his project.
“Listen Dr. D I may need to take some time off this week for a personal matter,” his evil employee stated.
“Personal matter?” Drew repeated finally looking up. “But you’ve already taken two vacations this year!”
“So fire me if ya don’t like it!” she countered in a threatening voice that made Drew feel like he was the one you would get fired if he didn’t agree. He nodded is head furiously. “Good! I’m goin’ to bed!”
As Shego walked away Drew just stared at her in disbelief. It’s only 8:30 PM; she never goes to sleep this early. Something clearly wasn’t right with his sidekick and he needed to find out what. He feverishly returned to work on his new toy. If he could just get his invention to work he would know everything!

Kim’s first day of being grounded was a stormy one. She woke up to the sound of rain taping against her window. It was still dark outside and her room was abnormally silent without the sound of her computer. She could see the occasional flashes of lightning and hear the distant rumble of thunder. She rolled over and looked at her alarm clock. It was 4:45 AM. The teen hero laid there and listened to the sound of the storm get closer. She counted the seconds between lightning strikes and thunder. Kim tried to fall back asleep but it was useless.
She sat up in her bed and looked around. With no way of communicating with anyone and no missions it was hard for her to keep her mind off of Shego. She missed her. She tried to tell herself that it was just a passing weekend deviation. A little Sapphic fling. Every girl has their one experience, she reasoned to herself. She just had hers before college. Still, she felt so lost without Shego and worst of all, she felt horrible for what she had said to her. But the sitch was getting out of hand. She was losing control. She couldn’t let that happen and of all people with her worst enemy. No one would understand how she felt. She didn’t even understand why she felt the way she did. Shego was like some sort of exotic creature to her, barely human and beautifully so. She hated her. She hated Shego’s cold callousness, her disregard for the law and her lack of respect for other people. Yet she admired her fighting skill and respected her as an adversary. The ex-hero had an interesting sense of humor that Kim had on more than one occasion found funny. The young hero had even laughed a few times at the sarcastic remarks the evil villainess had made to Drakken and Ron. And then there was the other Shego. The one Kim had never known until recently, the Hero… that amazing super powered goddess that had saved her life several times. Kim had always wondered why Shego, her most dangerous enemy, had done that. Now she knew. She wanted to know more about her. She wanted to know the young Miss Go, the woman that would bother to get a degree in Child Development. The woman that obviously loved her brother’s… the woman that obviously loved her.
The storm was raging and the rumbling thunder made the house vibrate. The lightening illuminated her room like strobe lights reminding her of her night with Shego. She’s a villain, her brain screamed to her! And for the first time Kim Possible actually wished she wasn’t a hero. Then I could be with her without any complications! Oh God what am I thinking! She started feeling sick again.
The sun was dawning but it was still very dark and stormy outside as the young hero focused her thoughts on the weather. Even that reminded her of Shego as the sound of the rain took her memory back to their fiercest fight. I hated her so much for… deceiving me? Kim let out a tiny whimper as the realization of just what those feelings of hatred had been masking creeped into her consciousness. It was Drakken’s plan but I hated her for it. Because… I trusted her. Why would I trust her? She thought on that rolling over to stare at her ceiling. We trusted each other. For some reason that Kim didn’t know and couldn’t explain there had always been a certain level of trust between the two women. A strange sort of respect that made her battles with the pale green sidekick different. And I’ve broken that trust, twice.
Kim started to cry again. Now it’s her turn to hate me, she thought as she finally got out of bed. Going back to sleep now was useless so she decided to get an early start on getting ready for school. Kim Possible was more than a little worried about what would happen the next time she fought Shego. She may kill me, she lamented, I just might let her.
