XXX The day after chapter 2 XXX

Dr. Director sat at her desk in the Global Justice headquarters. The top of her desk was covered in folders and paperwork. Several had red borders, indicating that they were critical. She stared at the folders, then looked up. Agent Will Du was standing sheepishly in front of her, holding another red-bordered folder.

Dr. Director groaned. "ANOTHER one?"

"I'm afraid so, Director." said Will, placing the folder on the already swamped desk. "DNAmy this time… something about destroying 'Rainbow Monkey' island, even if she has to destroy the whole world to do so. I think she's gone even further around the bend."

"Remember when we could just send Kim Possible after villains like those?" said Dr. Director.

"We've been lucky it was a quiet spell after Kim discovered her, um, condition…" said Will.

Dr. Director looked up and chuckled. Agent Du was actually blushing.

"Luck nothing." said Dr. Director. "The information Shego provided helped us disrupt the plans of a lot of the villains who used to be Kim Possible's field. It was a one time windfall that we can't expect again… and one of three reasons I agreed to wipe the slate clean between us and Shego."

"What were the other two, if I may ask?" said Agent Du. "Was it the fact that she wanted no publicity, and no reward except help setting up a legitamate existence?"

"Well, the desire to go legitimate was one reason." admitted Dr. Director. "The other was… well, Shego seems to have developed a protective streak, for Kim and their unborn baby. Imagine if that streak extends after Kim delivers the baby."

"What do you mean, ma'am?" asked Agent Du, puzzled.

"Let's face it." said Dr. Director, gesturing at the red bordered files on her desk. "Kim Possible is FAR too good at what she does to sit on the side lines, even with a child. Sooner or later, she's going to go back to the world saving game. Imagine a Kim Possible with Shego at her side."

Agent Du blinked. "The mind boggles." he said. The more he worked with Dr. Director, the more Will Du realized he could never handle her position. The woman's job required an ability to think three steps ahead, and in ways Du never could. The thought of Shego being an asset for her fighting skills, instead of just as a one time information source, to Global Justice… well, the mind boggled. Du's did, at least.

Dr. Director sighed. "Oh well… for the time being, at least, we can't count on Kim Possible. Can we hire Team Impossible for this?"

Du shook his head. "Sorry, ma'am… the budgeting department says if they had to scrounge funds to pay Team Impossible one more time, they'd hire Team Impossible themselves… or, at least, Team Impossible's CPA member."

Dr. Director tapped her fingernails on the desk. "Team Go then, I guess… even if it means explaining to Hego, AGAIN, that even though Shego has reformed there's no way she'll go back to Team Go."

Du shook his head. "That man sounds as thick as… well…" Du smiled depreciatingly. "A certain G.J. agent was when he first had to deal with Kim Possible."

"You learned, Du." said Dr. Director, smiling. Truthfully, Du never would be able to handle situations that didn't fit the book the way that Dr. Director and Kim Possible could, but his knowledge of procedure and technical details made him an excellent assistant.
