The Affections of a Villainess: Prologue

*The Imperial. One of the biggest and most lavish Casino resorts in Las Vegas. It's a very popular location for couples and singles, but it is also very popular hangout for villains. It is owned by Mr. Big A. Fix. And he's got strict rules that everyone follows. No drugs, no thievery, no fighting. If you break or defy his rules... well, then he'll break you.*

*It was that time of the evening. The bar was busy, customers were pouring in, couples and singles were mingling. It was a pretty normal evening at The Imperial. Of course, you always have a few unruly clients that're trying to make things difficult and ruin the mood for everyone.*

*The bartender, Mr. Henrik, was also an enforcer for Mr. Big A. Fix. His right hand man whom he trusted to keep the bar running smoothly. Unfortunately, at this particular moment, two muscle-bound thugs who were drunk and getting aggressive were currently trying intimidate Mr. Henrik into giving them more alcoholic beverages. A very big mistake on their parts.*

William: Give us some booze, ya bastard!

Hector: Yeah! Ain't our money good enough?!

Henrik: I do believe you gentlemen, and I do use that term begrudgingly, have had enough to drink this evening. I suggest you quietly leave this establishment and cease in disturbing the other fine ladies and gentlemen.

William: Oh, yeah? You gonna make us?!

*A shadow falls over them, causing the two drunken thugs to turn around and look up at the colossal human being. He was a mountain of a man, burly and muscular as a male mountain gorilla, towering over everyone in the bar. He wore a classy suit and pants, tailored to fit his massive frame. Atop his dark-brown hair covered head was a black fedora hat that complements his suit. He is the owner of The Imperial. The most feared and respected man in Las Vegas. A mountain of humanity known as... Mr. Big A. Fix. And right now, his green eyes were narrowed, glaring at the two thugs who dared to disrupt the atmosphere of the bar of his establishment.*

Mr. Big A. Fix: No, I am.

Hector and William: *Gulp!*

*The titanic hands of Mr. Big A. Fix grasp the faces of the two thugs, lifting them effortlessly into the air, smashing the back of their skulls together with a sickening thunk before tossing them outside the bar. The patrons cheer and applaud, satisfied that the two drunken thugs had been dealt with by the owner.*

Mr. Big A. Fix: Don't let me see your faces in here again! Capiche!? *He walks back to bar, smirking at his friend and enforcer.*

Henrik: I do wish you'd hire some bouncers to deal with these thugs that come into this establishment and cause trouble.

Mr. Big A Fix: Where would be the fun in that, Henrik? When I deal with them, it sends a message to other creeps out there that I don't take shit in my establishment. Besides, it also keeps me from getting bored.

Henrik: *Sigh* Very well, Sir. It's your bar.

Mr. Big A. Fix: You got that right, my friend!

*It is then that all eyes in the bar seem to focus on the arrival of none other the mercenary/Villainess  Shego. Beautiful and dangerous, she always made her presence felt wherever she journeyed. Her pale skin with its green hue, her black as death hair, her fierce emerald eyes, and her athletic and gorgeously curvaceous figure made her an exotic, seductive and intimidating woman to behold.*

*The Imperial was her favorite place in Las Vegas for numerous reasons. Mostly because she could get free drinks, meals, and a lavish room to spend the night. It helps when you're friends with the owner. Yeah, in a sense, if Shego wanted a big brother, she'd want him to be like Mr. Big A. Fix. They've known one another for so long and literally treated each other as family. If one would simply watch their antics alone, most would assume them to be siblings.*

Henrik: Good evening, Selina. What would you like to drink on this fine evening? As if I wouldn't already know.

Shego: Give me the usual, Henrik. And don't stop until I tell you. I'll tell you when I had enough to drink!

Henrik: *Sigh* As you wish, Selina.

*Henrik proceeds to make one of Shego's favorite alcoholic beverages, Sex on a Beach.*

Henrik: There you go, Selina. Sex on the Beach.

Shego: Thanks. *She takes it and downs it within moments.* Another. Now.

Henrik: *Sigh* Very well.

Mr. Big A. Fix: I'll have a scotch on the rocks, thank you.

Henrik: Of course.

Mr. Big A. Fix: Hey, Selina, how are you doing? Everything going okay in your line of business, kid?

Shego: Oh, yeah. Fine and dandy. Been doing some mercenary work. Getting paid to bust some skulls and steal a few things.

Mr. Big A. Fix: Finally quit working for that blueberry mook, eh?

Shego: Yeah, got tired of his idiocy. If I didn't leave, I swear I'd have broken his neck.

Mr. Big A. Fix: Now if only you could find yourself a handsome fella to settle down with.

Shego: *Groans* Don't start, Aaron. I'm not in the mood.

Mr. Big A. Fix: It's just seems a shame that a beautiful gal like yourself doesn't have someone special in their life. I know I couldn't imagine my life without my heart and soul.

Shego: Whatever! I don't need anyone. Not now, not ever. Speaking of my cousin and your fiancee, how is she?

Mr. Big A. Fix: Oh, she's good. A bit bummed that she doesn't get to see you often, but otherwise she's as beautiful and compassionate as ever. We're just ironing out the details of when we're getting married and where our honeymoon should be.

Shego: *Sarcastically responds* Sounds like fun.

Mr. Big A. Fix: Oh, don't worry, Selina! You'll find the one who'll capture your heart. I have faith in you.

Shego: Oh, would you shut it, Aaron! You overgrown, matchmaking gorilla! I told you once and I'll tell you until it penetrates that thick skull of yours. I. Don't. Need. Anyone.

Mr. Big A. Fix: Right... Keep telling yourself that, Sis.

Shego: *Ignites her fist with fiery plasma* Do you want me set your favorite hat on fire?

Mr. Big A. Fix: Okay, okay! I get it. Say no more. I got clients to greet. You gonna need a room?

Shego: Don't I always?

Mr. Big A. Fix: *Smirks* Heh. I'll talk to you later, Selina.

Shego: Later, Aaron.

*Shego took a long sip of her beverage. After accomplishing another mercenary task, one that proved quite profitable for her, she came to one of her favorite places to relax and have a few drinks. It had been a few months since she quit working for Dr. Drakken, the moodulator incident being the final nail in the coffin for her. In all honesty, after putting up with his lame schemes that were doomed to failure and the way he'd always condescended her, why she stayed on working for the blue moron as long as she did. If it wasn't for the decent paycheck and the fights with Kim, she would have stopped working for the dimwitted Drew Lipsky a long time ago.*

*The thought of how that wretched device make her act, the way it manipulated her to see him in a romantic way still made her sick to her stomach. For one thing, Dr. Drakken wasn't attractive in any sense, whether it be in a physical sense or personality wise. His arrogance and intellect, or lack thereof, was another thing that enraged her to the point where she threw bolts of plasma at him just to silence him. And not to mention the fact that he was old enough to be her father, something that made her shiver in disgust.*

*She was just glad to be finally done with that cretin, the memory of how she pummeled him with her fists and burned him with her fiery plasma before quitting managing to bring a slight smile to her face. Now, after these last few months of success, she could finally focus on her desires and what she wanted in life. She had plenty of money, a new home built within a forested area of Middleton, and all the best things that life had to offer.*

*She seemed to possess everything she's ever wanted... and yet, deep down there was something she desired, something that she greatly wanted. She did not know what exactly, only knowing that it was the one missing piece in her life. It seemed like it would be simple to discover, that the answer was right there in front of her eyes. But for some reason, Shego couldn't see it. What is it? And why is it of such great importance?*

*She wouldn't get the chance to further contemplate it as she was approached by another female villain. She was dressed in black skirt and black high heel shoes, while a red short-sleeved top adorned the majority of her upper body. Her hair was short and blonde, almost parted to the one side as it hung down the side of her face. Her physique had all the curves of a young woman in her mid-twenties, yet she also possessed the lithe frame of an experienced athlete. Once a famous television daredevil, she turned to a life of villainy thanks to a certain blond-haired hero, thus changing her life forever.*

Adrena Lynn: Hello, Shego. Nice to see you again. It's been awhile.

Shego: *She arched an eyebrow in irritation.* Do I know you?

Adrena: It's me, Adrena Lynn! Don't you remember? I bought you a few drinks about six months ago.

Shego: Oh, yeah. Now I remember.

Adrena: I knew you would. Mind if I join you?

Shego: *Sarcastically she responded.* Oh, sure. Why not? It's not like I don't have better things to do that talk to a crazy female daredevil-turned-villainess.

Adrena: *She takes a seat beside the pale-green beauty.* Great! Hey, bartender! I'll have a Appletini! Make it quick, okay? So... what have you been up to lately?

Shego: Nothing much. 

*Shego lied, unwilling to divulge any personal thoughts or information to the crazy chick.*

Adrena: Really? You looked pretty deep in thought before I asked to join you. Anything on your mind?

Shego: No. Not really. What've you been up to? 

*She almost growled out before inquiring Lynn about her own activities, if only to change the subject and keep the daredevil  out of her business.*

Adrena: Oh, stealing this and doing a few crimes here and there for my personal gain. However, I must confess, my mind has been on something else. 

*A light sigh escapes her lips as her thoughts became focused elsewhere in her mind.*

Shego: Yeah, what? 

*She hated to admit it, but she was slightly curious. Her dark jade irises focused on the blonde daredevil seated across from her.*

Adrena: Well... actually, it's more of a who. You see, I've been thinking of chasing after this person ever since I got into the villain gig. I guess you could say he's caught my interest... in more ways than one.

Shego: Really? So who is it? 

*She takes a long drink of her beverage, finishing it only for Henrik to immediately serve her another.*

Adrena: *Giggles* Ron Stoppable, of course. 

*Shego spews out her beverage and erupts into a brief fit of coughing upon hearing what Adrena Lynn had revealed. It was in that instant that Shego stared at Adrena Lynn, almost convinced that she had lost her mind.* 

*She couldn't be serious, could she?! Of all the people in the world, the crazy daredevil chick had to become interested in Ron Stoppable! It definitely surprised her, which is something that was actually difficult to achieve. She never could've seen this coming!*

Shego: What?!

Adrena: Aw, c'mon, Shego, it's not that big of a surprise. I mean, despite the fact that he's Kim Possible's sidekick and all, he's adorably cute. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only woman who's ever thought that way about him. I wouldn't be surprised if you thought of him at times. It would explain some of your animosity towards Possible.

Shego: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let me get this straight. You have the hots for Stoppable and now you're going to seduce him?

Adrena: Um... yeah! That's about sums it up, more or less.

*Before Adrena Lynn could even react, Shego reaches across her seat and roughly grabs the villainous daredevil by her crimson top, pulling Lynn completely out of her seat. Shego leans her face closer to that of Adrena Lynn's until their noses almost touched. The deadly serious expression on her face and the cold, angry gleam in Shego's emerald irises let Adrena Lynn know that she meant business. However, even as it happened, Shego couldn't recall what had brought this sudden aggression out. Why should she care about what Adrena Lynn intended to do to Ron Stoppable? Still, the next words that came out of her mouth surprised even herself.*

Shego: If you know what's good for you, Lynn, you'll stay away from him!

Adrena: *A grin akin to a shark's appears on her face.* Why should I? I mean, it's not like he has a girlfriend or... Oh, I see it now. You want Stoppable all for yourself, don't you?

Shego: What?! I... Uh... No! I'm not interested in Kimmie's sidekick! Not at all!

*She releases her grip on Lynn's crimson top, allowing the villainess to be seated once again.*

Adrena: Then, tell me, what is it, Shego? Why can't I pursue cute little Ronnie if I want to?

Shego: I... I just don't think you should get involved in his life. That's all. It just isn't right.

Adrena: *Chuckles* Since when do people like us have to restrain ourselves from doing what we desire? We're all villains and mercenaries, aren't we? So why should I stop myself from getting what I want?

Shego: *She slams her fist down on the counter with almost enough force to crack it.* This is different! Mercenary work and stealing jewels is one thing, but getting involved in someone's life is a totally different scenario! I mean, what do you intend to do with him? Seduce him, have your fun and then toss him aside like he's nothing?! He doesn't deserve that! If it was Kimmie, then, yeah, maybe, but not Stoppable. He's too good of a person to be used like that.

*She meant it. All of it. Ron Stoppable was a good person. He was one of the most honest, brave and loyal people that Shego had ever encountered. He was compassionate to others, including her as her mind recalled the birthday gift he left her not long ago. He didn't deserve to be treated and used in such a manner.*

Adrena: Ah, so you are attracted to him, aren't you? You have secret feelings for him, don't you? It's okay, you can admit it. I won't tell anyone. 

Shego: *She growls, narrowing her jade-hued eyes dangerously at the female daredevil who leaned in too close for her comfort or liking.* No.

Adrena: If that's what you wish to keep telling yourself, Shego, then so be it. But that doesn't change what I plan to do. I'm going after Ron Stoppable... and I'm going to make him mine. And once I do, he'll know a new, pleasurable definition of the word 'freaky'!

*Letting out an almost sinister chuckle, Adrena Lynn rises from her seat and saunters out of sight. It was only a moment later that Shego rose from her own seat, downing her drink in a single gulp before marching off in the same direction that Adrena Lynn had taken. She wouldn't let this happen to Ron Stoppable, not while she was still alive!*

Shego: Not if I have anything to say about it!

*She wasn't going to let this happen. She would not allow Adrena Lynn the chance to hurt Ron Stoppable in such a way, to be seduced and used for the wicked daredevil temptress' pleasure until she tired of him. She would stop her, no matter what! But in order to prevent this from happening, Shego would have to reach him first.*
