Unsettling Silence

15-minutes. Neither uttered a single word riding in complete silence.

Kim's mind reeled with the possibility. Ron may be cheating on her. A millions names and faces run through her mind. Yori's name topped her list.

Ron just sat there observing her every move and changes in micro-expressions. He hoped it'd give him some clue. What had he done wrong? Her tone may be cold, this consuming silence, though, grew crisper and more daunting by the moment.

Kim didn't mind the silence. She could reflect on their relationship and recent events, but grew more uncomfortable under his 'watchful eye'.

Mandrake Bio-Research, Inc., come into view. She speeds a ways, slams on brakes, and cuts her wheel. Her car slides into a full 180-degree turn. Her front bumper pointed back in the way she came. Kim jumps out triple tapping her kimmunicator. Her battle armors slinks over her body.

"I have your back, KP," Ron jumps out behind her.

"Let's pray so," she snips, brows furrowed and mouth curled with betrayal. The duo approach the corporation's entrance observing. Someone smashed its right tempered door. Glass shards strewn all about their feet. Edges charred black, no doubt, scorched by plasma.

Kim steps inside, followed closely by her partner. She taps her wrist kimmunicator, "Wade, where are they?"

"22nd floor, Section 4, Lab G-3, Kim".

"Any security measures we should be concerned about?"

"None," he slurps his 36-oz coca-cola.

"Wade, this place has Pentagon grade security," Ron wouldn't call that nothing.

"Had Pentagon grade security," Wade stipulates the past tense. "Shego disabled everything, before she and Drakken headed towards the climate control Lab G3, Section 4, on the 22nd floor".

Ron nods, reaching for the elevator's up button.

"No, that'd only warn them we're coming".

"How'll we..."

She points towards the stairs with a smirk.

Ron perceives, whatever he'd done, she took delight in making him walking up all those flights of stairs.

"Wade, Stairwell C's door please".

The tech wiz smiles, hands flying across his keyboard. The stairwell alarm disarms and red light panel flash green. She opens the door rushing upstairs, skipping two and three steps per stride. Ron was hot on her heels.

So We Meet Again

Kim exits Stairwell C, not even waiting on Ron, turns right, and rushes down a long narrow hallway. She'd just entered bio-engineering labs, Section 4.

Annie detects surging power levels auto-activating Kim's shield. Lab G3's outer wall explodes with such force. The blast bowls them over scattering chunks of concrete, metallic shards, and other debris roundabout them.

Kim drops her shield, leaps back onto her feet, and drops into a fighting stance.

"Nice move, Princess," Shego flatters, only to degrade her opponent. "Sorry, though, that pathetic stance isn't enough".

"Get her," she yells.

Ten henches shimmer into open view.

"Don't worry, KP, I have your back," Ron takes a stance alongside his best friend.
