Chapter 8 - Chapter seven : family reunion

Shego walks around his familiar street that he knows all too well as a kid. The city hasn't changed , Shego though as he walks into the house that he dreaded walking back to.

Scowling, he took in a few steps and slowly raised his hand. Soon he knocked after many protesters in his head. I hope she's not here, or.. them.. Shego shuddered at the thought of seeing his brothers, after what he looks like now. His mother however.

"Ayo, parque no me dejes en paz. Qué quieres Hect-"

Before the woman could reach Shego spoke up. "Hey mom. I know, new look, an accident happened at my 'Job' that led me to this."

The woman who is Shego's mother looked at her only daughter up and down. The mother of Shego always and has been the spinning image of Shego. But in detail, her hair has been a onix shades of brown mixed in. Her face has been a peachy pale tan. And her eyes have been hazel green just like her daughter. Looking back this is what Shego's entire feature would've been if it wasn't that damn space rock. After looking up and down at the green skinned man all the brown onix haired woman can say is, "Cucubano?"

"Mom, you know how much I hate that name." Shego groans over his childhood nickname after having his powers from that damn comet.

"Mija, you know that will not fly with me anymore. I still will take you out, I don't allow disrespect in my house."

"I know, I know, I'm sorry. Where's hector?"

"In the backyard. What not gonna stay for longer?"

Shego sighs a bit looking down at his mother. "Sure, yes.. why not, I just need to talk to Hector for a bit."

"Sonya." Before Shego could act, his mom lunged her arms around the green man and tightly embraced all her feelings in one hug. "I miss you, Mi Cucubano."

"Mama. Can't. Breath!" After being released, Shego exhaled and straightened himself up and walked inside his childhood home. "Outside you said?"

" yes in the backyard," as soon as Shego's mom walked around the area to the kitchen and headed to the backyard door she yelled out Hector's name. "Hector, ven aqui, someone wants to see you."

"Alright mama, I'll be there." A voice similar to a man replied as he was finishing up his task outside, sweating. He dried himself up, and walked inside the house, looking up and seeing the male character is one of Shego's brothers from team go, Hego.

"Sonya?"

"Hector."

"No call, no text? I mean I'm glad you're here, but what brings you here, wait you coming bac-.."

"Hego, I just came here for help. It's my power."

Minute later. After the reunion's arrival, Shego explains if any of the side effects happened on his end of his powers with the glowing eye or build up energies. More powerful than his already enveloped super strength power he always uses when at its fullest. Hego obviously shook his head, but he did ask if he could do some research of the meteor that is still him their background, that could clue them in.

Shego looked at Hego and thought about it, he sighs reluctantly, agreeing now that he needs to know about everything since he feels weird in a alert way that he doesn't know about. "Sure, let's see what we can fine."

"Also, Shego, you've.."

"Changed, yeah an accident happened, it'll be permanent until blue boss fixes that problem still."

"You're still working with him?" Hego questioned, sounding sad.

"Yeah, I am. I love my job.." he said with a unsure voice.

"Well, I'm sure I would love to still see you, lil sis."

"D-don't push it." Shego looked at his big blue brother. Rolling his green eyes, he got up and followed Hego with.

Hector looked at his mother wondering if she's coming. Mom just shook her head, "Sorry mi amor, but I can look from the window."

The two men looked at the window and back at their mother and nodded as they walked out.

They walk outside, Shego looking around his childhood backyard and look at the thing that changed their lives. "All still have this thing?"

"Yep, mom said that it's a memory to us who we are and all that motivation crap. You know how sentimental she can be."

"Hehe, yeah I remember." A light chuckle escaped as he remembered very well that time when Shego was dragged by the ear over his feelings, like he wasn't nothing. Hell his mother should've been the greatest hero in his eyes with how it lifted his spirits.

"Alright, let's see." The moss-hued man said as he removed his gloves and began to place his hand on the space rock, wanting to feel any connection. …nothing happened. What a waste.

"Sorry Hego, looks like it was a ghost chase."

"Oh? Sorry if I dragged you there to be honest."

"No, it's fine. Just seems like it was a set off, something must've triggered it, not sure what. Really."

"You're gonna stay, though. Right? Miguel, William, and Wilfredo are heading their way to get some groceries for ma, stay for dinner if you want."

"Will dad be here?"

"No, he's still at work, why?"

"Good, no reason."

As Shego let out a sigh of relief not wanting to deal with his father's reaction to this change in him. He thought about staying for dinner, what is it with people wanting me to stay all of a sudden?

As the two men headed back inside, it was the timing that got Shego. Because three of her brothers came to the house for dinner. Seeing Shego like this is seeing something dropped into the unknown. "Shego?"

"Mego."

"BIG SIS" the twins said as they carefully dropped their bag items and ran to tackle their sister.

"Augh okay, okay hey hey, HEY! Watch it! Mama!" Shego said as his mom just looked at the exchange of affection between the three.

"Cucubano, why don't you hug them back? They miss you."

"Mooommm!" Shego pleaded just to be let go.

"Alright, alright. Niños get off your sister please."

"Awe man really?" One of the wegos said, and was reserved by a glare from both their mom and sister. The twins let go and ran back respectfully.

"Sorry sis." The two said in unison.

"It's fine, I.. (miss you guys too)..I'm hungry, what are we having?"

"Chicken rice, and Ropa Vieja. Your favorite."

"Mama, that was when I was a kid. I-"

"You are gonna sit down and eat the food the boys gave you. And you are going to love it. Entiendes"

"Yes, ma'am." Shego said as he sat down on the table looking at his mom like a beast at this point.

As all the five families gathered around the table and prepared themselves the food they made, Shego was given the chance to fix his plate with the amount of food items he could grab. They all sat down and ate their delicious meal together, still a family.

"Mi amor? You okay?"

Shego looked down, poking his food as if it were alive but really he was just in his own thoughts thinking about how he got in this mess so quickly. "Ah, yes I'm fine ma."

"Yet you're not eating."

"It's fine ma. Just thinking about when I get back to my house."

"Oh not in that two story apartment you have. Not mi niña."

"Mama, I'm 26 years old, I can stay here, oh no don't use that.."

"Use what mimi?" Shego's mom said as she made her version of the puppy dog pouting. Whining in the mix.

"Augh! Fine! I'll say, but only for today."

"Oh my poor little heart, if only you stay a little longer.."

"Mama."

"Okay okay"

The brothers and mother laughed a bit as Shego joined in over how funny this moment was. Yeah he can stay for a bit.

Shego walked to the sink and washed the dishes because the boys didn't. But before he could dry up the first dish plate. A hand held down and grabbed the plate. Shego looked at the arm of the owner, his mother looked at shego with a smile, wanting to help.

Shego handed her the plate and looked down, continuing cleaning the kitchen utensils. "So. You don't think this whole change bothers you?"

"No.. well, somewhat, I mean you're a man until someone or you're 'boss ' fixes that machine and bring you back to the child I knew. But, I'll get use to it."

"Oh, okay, good to know. And Dad?"

"Oh he's still working in overseas. You know how he is with businesses."

"Yeah."

"Do you miss him? I can call him up if that's it-."

"No, no that's fine. I'm happy like this."

"You sure. You've always been.. oh how'd you say it again. Daddy's lil princess?"

"Mom, don't say that again please. It's gross." The raven haired man said in between chuckles.

"Okay okay. But you gonna need to call him sooner or later. He will miss you deeply. Even if you are like that." The onix haired woman countered as a reply.

"I know. Just. I don't wanna further ruin his mood with him think I gone and change into a man."

"I understand, mija." As the two black haired mother and daughter finished their dish cleaning they went to the table and started chatting and cleaning as well.

"So, that boss of yours. Is there any relation going on?"

"No, besides I don't understand why do people think about that moment being just that. Thinking we're a couple or some shit."

"Language."

"Mahh!"

"Hey you lived under my roof you go by my rules. No profanity."

"Now I can't have Freedom of speech too." The moss-hued man whined.

"When you are in your house. But not today. So?"

"nothing is going on between up. Just business as usual. I fight good guys. He tries to take over the planet, and he fails, I bust him out, and yada yada yada whatever. We didn't have time for a relationship. Just I don't see him that way really."

"you sure?"

"yes, mama. I'm sure. He's not my type. Not of the man I dated are."

"oh, ooh. When were you gonna tell me?"

"huh what?"

"you kno what. That you fly like that."

"i thought it was obvious. Well sorry I didn't live it to your expectations." the pale green man replied still at the table.

"miamor, things change, I know I'm old but I keep up these things."

"i never said you were old."

"you were implying it." the hazel green eyed woman said looking at her daughter "so, how's the lucky lady."

"nobody in particular.." the raven strands stuck out as Shego try pulling back his hair softly, looking down a bit.

"Okay. Well if you have the balls to ask her out. Which I'm sure you do, and not wait a day longer. You're going to loose her." the brown onix haired woman said as the two finished their table cleaning. And gave Shego a peak on the cheek. "night mijita."

"you too." shego said as he sat down on the table and looked down for a bit, after much thinking, shego got up and started walking to his childhood bedroom. "ugh, pink." he scoffed as he looked around the room as it hurts his eyes. And walks to his bed, laying down, feeling a sense of nostalgia as he dozed off to sleep.
