Kim Possible: A Beautiful Death

Shego Who?

Shego walked through the snow filled street of Go City, glowing from the lights of Christmas decor everywhere. Anywhere she turned, there was nothing but lights—joyful, colorful lights. She never thought much of Christmas, even when she still considered her idiotic brothers family. Sure she liked receiving gift, as selfish as she was. But Christmas was mainly a time for family, and for heartfelt movies and Christmas parties and mistletoe—not like she ever got to use one.

She walked through in her thick trench coat, currently of the clock as a vigilante. Her clock. But as they lights shined on her, she didn't even crack a smile. These lights were nothing to her. Sure deep down she thought they were beautiful, but what did Christmas ever do for her? Bah Humbug, she thought to herself in silence. What made it worse, was the fact that she could very clearly hear the Christmas music they always played in town. It made her sick just listening to it.

"No! Stay away!" She then heard faintly, throwing her out of her Christmas-hating trance. "Help! Please somebody!" She heard the same voice yell again. It sounded like a younger woman, possibly a teenager, or a preteen. You can never tell with kids anymore. She heard the cries for help ahead of her, still walking with her hands deep in her trench pockets. It was coming from the alley ahead of her, no doubt.

As she approached the corner of the dark—night filled alley, she stopped and peaked around the corner. She saw something worse than a mere purse thief. She saw a man—possibly early forties—holding a young teen against the wall. She watched in disgust as he took his jacket off. She knew exactly why, considering it was way too cold to remove something so warm simply because he was hot.

"P-please.." the young girl began to sob, as he had her shoved against the wall by her shoulder. The anger completely filled Shego. Watching someone so helpless, being roughed and inappropriately touched by a shitbag like that man. Or could she even call him a man—seeing what he was doing.

She quickly turned the corner, standing in the middle of the two walls that created the alley. Her shadow flashing on the concrete, from the green and red lights illuminating her silhouette. "Hey buddy." She said, gritting her teeth as hard as possible. She walked up to them slowly, watching them both turn and look at her.

"Beat skank, before someone gets hurt." He then released the girl, dropping her to the ground. As quick as possible, the girl stood up—shaking, and ran to the end of the alley by Shego. "Oh someone is gonna get hurt, I've already decided that." She said darkly.
"I warned you once bitch." He said, and pulled out a knife. "I'm not about to ask a second time." He smiled, full of confidence.

The girl watched the man run at Shego. Sloppy.
Shego grabbed the man's hand with the knife, and smirked in his face. She then flicked her wrist back, breaking the man's hand. His scream of agony filled her with slight pleasure—force of habit. She then lit her other hand up with glowing green plasma, and punched the rapist straight in the face, blood spewing from his jaw.

"Not only did you try to rape this little girl... but you made one other mistake.." She dropped him to the ground, and stared him in the eye with nothing but hate. "You called me bitch." She then said, as hate filled as possible. Nothing could tear her eye away from the cowards soul for even a second. "Next time, think with your head instead of your fucking tools." She grabbed him by the collar, and threw him at the wall. Not only did he hit the wall hard, but he went directly through the brick, inside the closed convenient store.

She rebuttoned her coat, and put out the plasma in her palm, smoke still emitting from it. "I... t-thank you.." She heard the teen say, as she turned around. She walked back up the girl, who was sitting on the ground against the wall.

"Did he hurt you." Was all she said, with a blank expression. "N-no.. he didn't. Thanks to you, Shego." She watched the girl wipe a tear from her eye. She reached for the little girl, letting her help her off the ground. Once the girl stood up, she instantly wrapped Shego in a tight hug. It caught her off guard, with a near-silent gasp escaping her lips. "Alright, kid. I'm not a hugger." She said, trying to word it as nice as possible.

"I never thought I'd ever meet you.. I looked up to you when I was a little girl. One of the greatest heroes of Team Go." She pulled off Shego with a teary smile. "That was a long time ago Kimmi—
She stopped. She realized what she was about to say. In some way, looking at this little girl, was like looking at the princess when she was that age. It almost frightened her.

"Trust me... I'm not someone you should be looking up to." Shego looked down, then back up at the blinking Christmas lights. "You saved the world. With Team Possible! There's no one else I'd rather look up to." The girl smiled.

What was this that Shego was feeling? Was it actual joy? That didn't involve money? How is that possible? Could she actually be feeling good about this out of the bottom of her heart?

"You better run on home. The police will take care of this fuc—... freak. Take care of this freak." She corrected herself. The girl nodded, then turned to walk away. Shego stood there in silence, watching her walk down the snow covered sidewalk. She had no idea what to say, if there even was anything to say.

Breaking her frozen stance, she continued on her path once again, with her hands in her pockets, like nothing ever happened. On her path back to her residence, she walked past an electronics shop. Which had TVs blaring different shows through the window, but was mainly playing the news. She slowed her pace, curious to see what was on the screens.

What made her freeze in her tracks, was what she saw on the news. It was foreign, she couldn't read the graphics or understand what the crazy looking lady was saying.

She saw the live footage of the temple in Peru, shaking and collapsing upon itself. Green lights were illuminating from the ground, with red lights glowing what looked like underground. Her eyes widened in fear, as she saw something only a kid would see in her nightmares.

Or a 19 year old redhead, in this case.

"Holy shit.." Shego cursed to herself, eyes glued to the screen.  She then reached in her coat pocket, and pulled out a modified flip phone. Modified by Dr. D, nonetheless.

She looked at it, then looked back at the screen. "I can't believe I'm doing this.." she sighed, and opened the flip phone. Then only thing on the phone screen, was an unreadable number. With the name:

Drakken.

Shego pressed the button with the green phone on it, and began a swift run down the sidewalk.
As she ran away, she left before she could see the two familiar teens, running out from the inside of the temple.
