When The Unthinkable Happens (READ DISCLAIMER)

Chapter 6: Quarantine

Kim looked over to her daughters as she polished off the last of the food an apple. She rushed to them and picked both of them up in her arms and began twirling them. Kasy and Sheki laughed in delight as their Mommy made their world spin. She set them down lightly on their feet. Kim went and sat on the couch with her daughters. She turned on the TV and changed the chAnnl to cartoons for her daughters. The TV was the only sound coming from the house. Kim suddenly looked around with a questioning look on her face.

"What's wrong, Mommy?"

"You two don't hear that?"

"Hear wha…"

Kasy was cut off as GJ agents flooded the room and tranquilized Kim.

"Mommy!"

The twins were scared as they watched strange men take their Mommy away.

Shego was finally done with the grocery shopping and ready to make Kim go to see a doctor. But instead of finding her daughters and Kim in her house she found Dr. Director with them. Sheki and Kasy immediately ran over to Shego and hid behind her. Shego narrowed her eyes on Dr. Director.

"She took Mommy!" cried Kasy. "We want Mommy back!"

Sheki was right behind her sister in protest. Shego went and set what she had in her hands on the counter then faced Dr. Director. In her darkest voice she asked a simple question, "What did you do?"

"Mrs. Possible please stay calm…"

"What did you do with Kim?"

Shego was pissed by now, her hands shrouded in plasma.

"She is very sick. We took her to a GJ facility where we can try to find a cure."

"I wasn't notified! Why?!"

"Because you might have tipped her off that we were coming. The situation is very delicate right now. Kim is very delicate right now."

With ice in her voice Shego looked Dr. Director in the eye.

"Take me to her. If she's hurt by you…."

"I assure you she is as fine as can be expected. I advise you leave your daughters here for now. This is going to be a lot to take in."

Shego was filled in with the details of Kim's illness as they approached the GJ facility. She was still mad but she had cooled down a considerable amount knowing the full extent of the issue. The helicopter landed on what appeared to be a normal storage facility, but, once they landed, the ceiling opened up to reveal an elaborate HQ that went down under the building.

"Mrs. Possible, if you will follow me."

Shego followed Dr. Director down several hallways and she couldn't help but think that the inside looked like the helicarrier Shield used. She followed Dr. Director to a room that had a label above the door. It read "Quarantine".

"You're keeping her in quarantine?"

"For the time being, yes. It is the best place to hold her for now. We can study the symptoms and hopefully make a cure. You can go in but do not enter her room."

"Fine."

The door opened and inside was what appeared to be another smaller room with two adjacent walls made of glass, so that Shego was able to walk 180 degrees along the partition corridors within the outer walls. Within Kim's cell, there was a bed, a sink, a shower, and a toilet with a curtain that could be used to cover them. Inside the room sitting on the bed was Kim. She had on some scrubs and there seemed to be a doctor in a Hazmat suit examining her.

"I'll leave you two alone."

Dr. Director left the room and the door shut behind her. Kim immediately jumped off the bed and went to the glass to see Shego.

"Shego!"

"Hey, Princess…."

"Where are the girls?"

"I'll bring them next time, Pumpkin."

Shego tried to put on a genuine smile but all that came out was a small unconvincing smile.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, Kim."

"It probably has something to do with me being in here doesn't it?"

Shego sighed and nodded her head.

"They won't tell me what is wrong. What I'm doing here."

"I will. But not like this."

Shego looked around the room for another door and found one at the back wall.

"I'll be right back, Princess."

Shego left the room momentarily to re-enter into Kim's cell. The doctor began to freak out when Shego entered.

"You can't be in here! How did you get past the security pad?!"

"Hush up before I knock you out! Leave! Give me and Kim some privacy."

The doctor gulped and left the room. Shego walked over to Kim and sat on the bed next to her wife. She looked deeply into Kim's eyes and sighed deeply.

"Shego? What is wrong?"

"Everything."

Shego looked down at the floor. Not wanting to see her Princess.

"You are sick. Very sick. Do you remember that last mission we were on when you got all the chemicals dumped on you?"

Kim scrunched her face trying to remember.

"I think so. I don't know why I can't seem to remember things lately. Like the workout or waking Sheki for breakfast."

"It's one of the symptoms. I don't know what exactly happened to your body but the easiest way to put it is you are at your physical peak all the time. A super human."

"What? How?"

"It's why you can't sleep, why you are constantly hungry, if it hasn't happened already, soon you will have enhanced sight, hearing, stamina, and strength."

"I don't see how…"

Shego put a finger to Kim's lips silencing her.

"I'm not done yet… the lack of sleep is because your entire body is in overdrive and your heart rate is extremely high. The lack of sleep will cause fatigue which in turn will cause the mood swings and eventually….. your heart will fail"

Shego looked up at Kim to see the worry on her face. Shego stroked Kim's cheek lovingly and gave her a passionate kiss.

"The only thing that can help you right now are the cat naps. It'll help to slow your heart rate and it will give your body some rest. Please try to take as many of those as possible."

Kim shook her head in understanding.

"I have to go now so the doctor can run more tests on you and try to fix you. Ok?"

Kim shook her head again. Shego headed for the door.

"Shego? Will you bring the girls next time?"

Shego inhaled sharply and turned to face Kim.

"Yeah. Anything for you."

Shego opened the door and stepped outside. Dr. Director, Mr., and Mrs. Possible, and the doctor were waiting outside. The doctor slipped back in the room as Shego exited.

"I thought I told you not to go in Shego."

Shego slumped down the wall and curled up into a ball beginning to sob softly. Ann was right there in an instant holding Shego in her arms.
