She sometimes wondered why she kept going to this stupid college. Looks of fearful admiration still followed her around while she walked around campus :'Walked' 'Yeah, walked, why do I even bother to walk around anymore, I might as well fly around and shoot lasers out of my eyes, it's apparently the same thing at this point' she thought.

She had an 'incident' a couple of months ago, and word spread out quicker than wildfire. It was difficult to explain to the ER doctors why her boyfriend had a concussion and a huge lightning shaped burn that started around his mouth and went down his chest. She tried explaining the cause but the doctors almost burst out laughing. Then again, in this city they didn't know who she was, what she can do. Hell, not even she knew she could do THAT.

Blossom clutched the books closer to her body. She still spots him around campus sometimes even though he tries to avoid her. His face is still as handsome as before, even though a pink scar marres it now. Everytime he notices her, Alex averts his gaze in fear, but she can't blame him, really. Would have been cool if he hadn't gossiped about it with his friends, though...Now everybody knows.

'Hey, weirdo, been looking for you.' She felt a hand grabbing her shoulder. ' Can you help me with some of the biochem lab results we got last week, forgot to write them down ..? '

'Yeah, for sure, I can lend you my notebook now.'

'Thanksies, partner! It'll take just a sec. ' Mindy grinned.

They sat down on a nearby bench and Mindy started copying her neat handwriting.

'So,I wanted to ask you... how have you been holding up…? ' Mindy tentatively without looking up from the paper.

'I'm fine, I guess. Still wondering what crazy stuff they come up with this week.'

'I've told you before, I know how messed up by it you are, but don't let them get to you. I mean, at the end of the day, you're still Blossom motherfucking Utonium, a Powerpuff Girl, and they're just shits with too much time on their hands and an active imagination.'

Blossom sighed and gave her a pained smile. 'Doesn't make me less of a freak in their eyes' she thought.

'You know the latest rumor I've picked up? Apparently I enjoy freezing guys 'dicks during sex. Dunno what's worse, that or the one saying that I laser off their heads afterwards like a praying mantis.'

'Haha, nice, these assholes are getting creative, I swear. Fucking losers. They'll forget about it eventually. Give it a few more weeks.'

'Mindy... it's already been three months and it's not dying down at all. That's it, I'm branded as the sex freak now.'

'Nope, stop saying that, you're attracting bad mojo.'

'Hopefully not THAT bad Mojo.'

'Yelp, yeah, forgot he was a thing. You used to fight him many years ago with your sisters, yes?

Mindy was new in Townsville, she had come here for college. It was one of the reasons why Blossom had grown so close to her, she wasn't some fabled superhero in her eyes, just her lab partner in Biochemistry. It was so easy to talk to her without the 'wall of wonder' that lay between Blossom and the Townsville natives.

'Yep, a long time ago, and we have no idea where he went off.' Blossom said gazing into the distance, but quickly shook her head as to dispel intrusive thoughts. 'But how are you doing? I've been rambling about my dramas for forever now and you haven't told me anything about your Jake problem.'

Mindy blushed. 'I don't know, he's been giving off mixed signals. Don't know what his deal is. He asked me out to Rachel's house party tonight…OH'

She covered her mouth.

' It's ok, you know I don't like going to parties anyway.' Blossom said under her breath.

' I'm sorry…' Mindy bowed her head. ' Look, Blossom, I gotta go now, but we'll talk about this later, ok? I gotta meet Jake in the cafeteria.'

'Yeah, sure, but you don't have to pity me, you know. I'm fine.'

'Yeah, I know you are.' Mindy looked concerned. ''

'Cya later.'

As Mindy walked away, Blossom noticed a group of boys in the distance looking at her and whispering. She just couldn't help herself and activated her supersonic hearing.

'Mark heard that she once crushed a guy's pelvis when she was on top, he had to wear a cast for a year.'

'Oh boy, here we go again' she sighed.
