I sat up in the old worn out couch. It was green with hues of brown on the sides. Looking at my algebra text book, I jot down the answers to my dull homework. Being a Rowdyruff Boy, you would be expecting me to ball up my homework and throw it at my math teacher's face. But no. I needed this last chance of education. I was almost ready to graduate high school and get out of this dumpy old town called Townsville. Sure, I grew up here, but with the Powerpuff Girls here – I just can't. My heart tells me to kill them every time I see their big eyes. Especially those pink ones. Every time I see a hint of orange-pink hair, I speed to them and punch them. 4 people have gotten hurt so far, but that was on instinct. They let me go, but now they have guards watching me 24/7.
I slightly turn my head to find a bearded fellow. He was wearing dark tinted glasses with a black security suit. He smirked slightly, seeing that I was getting annoyed at his presence. I grunted, "How long are you guys supposed to be here?" I ask, answering the last question on the bottom of the 3rd page.
"One year. Or you can get another person… but you won't like her. She would be here for 3 months." Said the security guard. I was surprised by his answer. Usually he would snap and yell, "Shut up you ungrateful little prick." I would laugh at his attempt to insult me, but would shrug it off. With superpowers and all I would be laughing at his dead body right now, but if I hurt this guy, that would throw my ass in jail.
"Who would that be? Who could be so important that she would only have to watch me for 3 months? I bet I can crush her with my own bare hands." I mutter the last part to myself. Oddly, he heard me.
"Threatening a Powerpuff girl would lead to a punishment. Law was just passed the other day." Nothing could've made my ears hurt more badly, my heart would've crushed if I saw somebody that looked just like her. I absolutely hated that demon made in a … a Bowl? Pot? I don't care. But maybe I could put up with her for 3 months – what harm can it do?
"How do I do that?" I ask, dropping my pencil on the table, turning to the built up man.
"You would have to ask her yourself and she can arrange the rest." He simply stated.
I looked at the time, 3:53. I had plenty of time. I fly out of the window, leaving a red streak for the security guard to see.
I landed on their door, it was a really cool suburban home, but I see that it's gotten bigger. There were 3 more circular windows, so there were 6 in total. They've expanded the yard, going over to be the Smith's old house use to be. I stared at it in awe. "I sure wish I lived here. I would even put up with those heart-wrenching girls." I thought.
I lightly knock on the door and wait a few seconds. Soon the door creaked open, an older professor on the door. He had silver streaks in his hair, entangled with jet black hair. He wore his scientist get-up just like the old days, spiced up with a few wrinkles on his face.
"Brick? What are you doing here? You know you are not welcome near the residents of the Utonium family. This must be important. Do you need one of the girls?" He asked rubbing his back as if he were slouching all day. I clear my throat, getting ready to say her name.
"Professor, I would like to speak with Blossom. " I say.
He looks at me strangely, but still calls Blossom.
"Blossom, someone's hear to see you. I think it's important."
I heard her flying. You know, that swoosh sound. I always paid attention to that little detail. I saw her appear at the door, looking like she just woke up from her little nap. She was very surprised to see me. I could tell. But to be honest, I was very surprised to see her. She had definitely matured ever since I paid attention to her since I was 5 or 6. I always had a little crush on her, but soon grew out of it when she beat me up. The only reason that she beat me up is that I was caught off guard from her precious face. It made my eyes widen, and stare.
But now, she was absolutely beautiful. Just that. She had no flaws; she was very fit with some muscles on her arm showing from all those years of crime fighting. I gaped at her figure, and those legs... They were in perfect shape. She definitely had some woman-hood on her chest and was wearing a sleek hot pink dress with black flats. Her hair was actually down and reached towards her lower thigh. It was so long and it looked like silk. I wanted to play with it all day. She stared at me blankly, no expression of fear or surprise. Nothing.
"Brick," She stated my name, pausing before she said anything else. Her face soon molded into a questioning face, "What are you doing here? Where are your brothers?" I flinched at that question. I knew she knew the answer to that question. I think that she is attempting to start a conversation.
"They're in jail. Remember? Ever since 8. 10 years already." I say.
"20 More." She finishes.
"You know that I'm being watched and all, right? Well I heard you can babysit me for 3 months. Would you do it?" I ask.
She crossed her arms and squinted at me. "Would I trust you?"
"It beats one year. I'm sure it'll fly by quickly. And yes you could trust me, probably knock some sense into me." I joke.
Out of nowhere, she looked at me with a bit of remorse in her eyes. "You miss your brother's, don't you?"
Surprised by her question, I look at her. Don't cry don't cry don't cry. "They mean the whole world to me, of course I miss them. I wonder how they look. How they've grown up."
We stood there for a while, in a moment of silence. She soon looked up at me hesitating to say something. She then spit it out, stuttering, "W-what if I said that they can get out of jail by next week. I-I can pull some strings. And you know that Me and my sisters have advantages. And I would've killed myself if my sister's weren't around me. And yes, I can babysit you. On one condition."
I stare at her, waiting for the next few words to slip out of her full pink lips…
"I want you to…" She pauses a moment, thinking of what she should say, but quickly, she shook her head, "Never mind, forget it."
She turned around but I grabbed her wrist. She looked at me ready to fight. Quickly, I put two of my hands up, like in the movies. "No, tell me!"
"You know we go to the same school, right? And that Girls Choice is coming up, so I'm a girl, thus meaning me that I have to pick someone in any crowd and ask them, right?" I scratched my nappy head, so very lost.
"Okay…." I trailed off.
"Well I wanted to see if you wanted to go with me or something but you know that you wouldn't want to go with a Powerpuff Girl so just forget it. I bet you'll have a date sooner or later. I'll just study that night." She quickly blushed.
I smirk. That blush just made my self conscious move up 1000 steps. "Wait, I would love to go! When is it?" I ask.
Stunned, she quickly replies, "Two weeks from today…"
I nod, "I'll pick you up at 8 and we can go from there. This would be a great thing for becoming friends and all."
She quickly nods, shaking my hand, "Well alright. Good news is that you'll see your brothers before the dance. Meet me at Townsville park on Monday next week. I bet you'll be so happy. So will your brothers. My sisters have been visiting them everyday making sure that they were acting appropriate, and the bearded security guard have been giving me up-dates on what you've been doing."
"Wait, can I see my brothers? Today? Just visit them? Please?" I asked. I never said please to anyone. Only when Butch was about to break my iPod and he made me say please so that he'd give me it back.
Blossom thought about it for a moment. She shrugged, "When we get there, stay with me at all time or else they'll attack you with Antidote-X and throw you in jail for 10 years. Got it?" I nod as we started flying. I loved flying, it reminded me of Butch and Boomer and the old days. Everything reminded me of their old presence.
I landed on the hard cement surrounding the gigantic torture house. "They're here?" I ask at the abnormal jail house. It had wires all over the place, and what looked like a force field. "The professor made a new invention. It's a force field. It scans your DNA and finds out who you are. Even if you have a fake name. The find out your real name and list down the allies. They scan if you're allowed to enter or exit. No criminal leaves this place. A total mastermind – even more than a mastermind wouldn't crack the code to breaking the force field."
I entered making sure that everyone was seeing me next to Blossom. Blossom scanned her hand on the little futuristic hand print on the tablet sticking out of the concrete wall. The door slid open, and suddenly guns appered to be aiming at me coming from the ceiling."Blossom Utonium, Is Brick Jojo a Friend or aa Foe in your presence?" The computer spoke loud and clear making my ears throb after it talked. "Friend." Blossom stated.
The guns disappeared back into the ceiling. I looked around, mostly pale walls blocking my view.
"C'mon Brick." She said walking towards a hallway that was in a numerical code on a metal plate glued onto the wall.
I walked down the very long hallway, and soon it lead to a silver elevator. She looked at me, pressing the "Down" button.
The door opened in half a second.
"What floor?" Said the computer coming from nowhere again.
"Floor 100." She Spoke.
I look around to see that the door has closed leaving it pitch black. I formed a dark red energy ball in my hand giving us light. The red light reflected off of her like it was the moon light reflectiong off the beautiful sun.
I felt the elevator stopped and we walked out. Everything was made out of metal. The floor, walls, ceilings, doors. I could tell they were petty thick, too. We walked down a very long hall for a while. We stopped after we reached a door the was bent. Blossom types in a pin, scans her hands and states her name. The door soon opened and we saw to men in each corner chained up. Everything was chained. Even their neck. When they heard footsteps, their heads snapped back, looking at us. "Hey Blossom," They both said calmly. "Computer, let them go." Blossom said loud and clear. All of the chains were soon opened and Boomer and Butch were free. " I have two things to do for you guys. First you gotta meet your brother, Brick."
They look at me, and ran super speed to him hugging him tightly. "Brick, we missed you so much! Did you know they've been educating us and letting us use our powers. Blossom had a gym made just for us so we can stretch a little bit. Bubbles and Buttercup have been making us food and bringing it here and everything! It's so good to hear from you, Brick." I could tell puberty had definetly hit them. Boomer was happy that he'd told me everything.
"Brick man, I thought you weren't going to be able to live to see us bro. Yah know with Mojo and Him on your back and everything."
"Actually, I haven't heard from them ever since you guys were thrown in jail. I heard Him has turned good."
Blossom crossed her arms, "You guys are going to be free next week, but no law breaking unless you're with the Powerpuff girls."
Butch and Boomer hollered in excitement.
"Thanks Blossom. I promise I'll be there to pick you up two weeks from now, but that don't mean that we shouldn't hang out anymore. Plus you got to babysit me." I say.
"I wonder how that's going to turn out."
