Fic: "Shego's Plan: Prologue" (1/6)

[cdybedahl]

Here's the Kim/Shego fic I wrote about earlier. Since it's a bit on the long side, it's posted by chapter. Parts 1 (Prologue) and 6 (Epilogue) are really short and could probably have been included with what is now parts 2 and 5, respectively, but it just felt cleaner this way.

The fic is set somewhere in season four after "Stop Team Go". It starts out well within canon, but has certainly gone AU by the end. The rating is probably a high PG-13, but more for a not-so-nice scene than for any sexual content. Total length is about 17700 words. At the top and bottom of each part there is a link to the preceding and succeeding parts (where they exist), so you don't have to go look for them.

If you'd rather read the entire thing on one long page, you can find that here. That's also where you can find the fic in PDF with A4 paper size, PDF with Letter paper size or plain text formats.

Shego's Plan

Written by Calle Dybedahl

Prologue

The foot-thick solid metal doors to the mountaintop lair slid open. For a moment, nothing but fresh sea air came through them. Then, there was a voice.

"The plan would've worked just fine, if it hadn't been for Kim Possible and her annoying sidekick, what's his name!"

A pale blue-skinned man strode angrily through the doors. His face was set in an annoyed sneer, and he kept looking straight ahead. His coat had a slightly singed look to it.

"No, it wouldn't," another, female, voice said. "Your plans never work."

"They do too!" the man screamed. "They work all the time! Don't you remember that one with the... thingy, and the... whatever! That one worked!"

An athletic woman with improbably long black hair, green skin and a black-and-green catsuit walked through the door.

"'The one with the thingy and the whatever'? Well, that sure narrows it down to every plan ever!"

The man spun around and pointed with his whole arm at the woman.

"Fine!" he shouted. "If you're so good, why don't you execute a plan of your own, Shego?"

Shego crossed her arms.

"Are you challenging me, Doctor D?" she said. "Seriously?"

Drakken crossed his arms too. He turned his face away, as if in disgust.

"Yes," he said. "Seriously."

A smile slowly took form on Shego's face. It was only a tiny little bit gloating.

"Fine," she said. "I accept."

Drakken's face snapped back to look at his presumed sidekick.

"What?" he said.

Shego's smile grew wider.

"I accept your challenge," she said. "We both start planning and executing, and in one month we see who is dominating the largest number of people, or has spread chaos and destruction over the widest area."

She put her hands on her back and leaned forward.

"Sound fair?" she said.

Drakken thought about it for a moment.

"Well, I suppose," he said.

Shego snapped back to a more normally upright position.

"Good!" she said. "See you in a month, then!"

She was out the door before Drakken had a chance to react. He remained staring at the closed doors for some time, as if not quite sure what had just happened.

"Shego?" he said. His voice echoed hollowly in the empty lair.

"Aren't you going to... help... me?"

Shego already had a plan, of course. Or, well, the basics of one. It had been there in her head ever since that time she briefly found herself working for Kim Possible's sidekick. Unlike Drakken's complicated and elaborate schemes, her plan was simplicity itself.

Step one, visit the lair of one of Team Go's old staple villains and retrieve some blueprints. Not hard, she'd been there many times before and the villain in question was safely incarcerated.

Step two, pay a semi-reputable electronics firm a large amount of stolen money to build a device according to the blueprints. Most of the money was for the extra cost of them not asking questions or remembering ever doing the job after it was finished.

Step four was borrowing a small, almost soundless aircraft and hover with it at a position where she could see into Kim Possible's room. Specifically, where she could see Kim's bed.

Step five was the waiting. Waiting for Kim to show up and go to bed. Which, as a not inconsiderable bonus, involved watching her undress and make herself ready for the night. The girl had grown up real good, Shego had to admit, even if only to herself. For a moment, she almost wished she'd brought a camera. But only almost. A camera would've been an unnecessary complication, which went against the basic principle of planning that no supervillain ever seemed able to learn: a good plan is as simple as possible, but no simpler.

Step six of the plan came once Kim had put her lights out and enough time had passed that she was almost certainly asleep. Infra-red goggles showed clearly enough that she was still there and not moving, and it didn't really matter if she was asleep or only almost asleep. The important bit was that she not see it coming. The poor girl would never even know what hit her.

The seventh and final part was aiming and pulling the trigger.

Nice - I've seen just enough Kim Stoppable to appreciate it, many thanks for posting.

That. Was. FANTASTIC! The dialogue was soooo them. I could actually imagine Kim and Shego saying those things in their voices and everything! And the humour. Not too much so it's comedic. Just enough to make me chortle with gleeee :)
