Rainy Day Women #9

"God I am such an idiot!" Shego chided herself as she walked on through the rain that was beating down. "That was the stupidest thing I have ever done. You know...gah...fuck this shit! Just..."

The rain was pulling her hair down across her face but she didn't care enough to move it away. She didn't care. It had taken weeks to get up the courage to do what she thought was right and Kimmie hadn't given a damn. Reaching out after all this time was just stupid but after the radio tower all Shego could dwell on was the time when she had been under the effects of the Attitudinator, and all that time the two of them had spent together that hadn't involved fighting. Shego had half convinced herself that the two of them had the basis for at least a friendship if not more; she held no illusions about that any more. But this, this hurt and she had promised herself years ago that she wouldn't set herself up for this kind of pain again. She was just going to go back to that damn room, grab her stuff and get the hell out of this stupid little town once and for all. No more supervillains, no more nefarious plots, no more Middleton and especially no more fucking Kim Possible.

"Shego..."

The green skinned woman didn't care as she heard Kim's voice carried to her and just kept walking. She was tired to death of fighting and the realization of what else she had lost weighed heavy on her. It seemed to her as if she was always being shunned, driven away from things that were good. Her heart ached so much that it felt like it was tearing itself out of her chest. She did not need this shit.

"Shego..."

She turned and looked back the way she had come. Kimmie was hustling her way, with an umbrella, but rain still soaking the sides of her pajamas, making them cling against the lithe legs of the world saving girl. Shego just stood there watching the red head draw nearer, water dripping down her face, hiding the tears of frustration and pain that continued to fall. With some difficulty she brushed the strand of hair that clung to her face off to the side and then glared at Kim Possible. "What!? Didn't give me enough? Gonna yell at me some more?"

"Shego, please come back with me. I'll listen to what you have to say. Honestly. Please." Kim did not go for the puppy dog pout, but that was her next step if these words didn't work. Something had been important enough for the thief to bother Kim and she owed it to the woman to at least actually listen.

"I thought you didn't believe me, Princess." Shego wasn't aware of just how much of her pain came through those words but Kim could hear it and flinched internally. She had thought better of herself.

"I didn't. I do now." answered Kim honestly.

"And what changed? Hunh, Kimmie? What?" Shego could feel her anger building, but she wasn't going to give in and start swinging, as that wouldn't really solve anything. Besides, this wouldn't be fighting for the joy of it but striking out blindly in grief. She had done enough of that as well and she wouldn't take the chance of injuring the child.

"When I saw the look on your face when you left." Kim couldn't look at Shego when she said that. That moment had been etched into her head, clearly and crisply, and Kim was having trouble getting that look out of her mind. "I'm sorry. Can we go back and talk about this? It's cold out here."

Shego stood there a moment and then grumbled under her breath. One more chance. Kimmie had one more chance and if she screwed this one up, that was it, honor fulfilled ad she could leave. "Fine."
