A/N: So I have some things to say before you start reading.

This is an alternate universe of Powerpuff girls that is inspired by the movie Adjustment Bureau. Awesome movie, I fell in love with the story line. Brick is around 22 and an only child. Blossom is around 21, she still has her sisters, but they are each 1 year apart. Blossom being the oldest and Bubbles the youngest. On to the story…


"Stop right there!" Blossom yelled, her and her sisters chasing after the receding red streak in the sky.

Brick pulled off his fourth robbery of the week. He smiled as he flew away. He was actually getting pretty good at it. Usually the Powerpuff girls would have caught him by now, but lately he's been slipping in and out of banks and jewelry stores with ease.

There was just one problem. He wanted more. He had more than enough money, but not enough power. Being head of a gang wasn't enough for him, not even the rush of robbing a bank was cutting it. He wanted others to listen to him, to respect him or at the very least fear him.

Brick returned home and threw the small sacks of money in the corner, dissatisfied with the empty feeling. He looked at his watch. It was still pretty early in the morning. He decided that he'd just go back to sleep for a while.

He was heading to the bed when his cell phone buzzed in his pocket.

Who's calling me this early in the morning?

He looked down at his caller ID. Fells Bank. Brick's heart started to race.

This could be it. This could be my big chance.

Brick had been waiting for the call for the past three weeks. He tried purchasing a night club before, but the banks always rejected his offers because he only had cash. Now that he managed to get enough in his account legally, he might have a chance.

"Hello?" Brick answered on the third ring.

"Am I speaking to Mr. Jojo?"

"This is he."

"This is Mr. Smith. I am pleased to inform you that the purchase has gone through. You can come over between 8am and 4pm tomorrow to sign the papers."

Brick kept the excitement inside.

"Thank you, I will see you tomorrow."

Brick smiled as he hung up the phone. This was the start. In a few short months, he would finally have a place where he and his gang could meet and a more legal form of income. Not that he really cared about the later.


Brick walked quickly back to the fast food restaurant.

I can't believe I left my drink.

As he rushed into the restaurant he ran into someone.

"Sorry," she said as she began to get off the floor. She looked up at him and gasped, surprised to see Brick standing there. His auburn bangs fell into his dark red eyes and he looked somewhat bored. "You." She pointed at him.

"If it isn't Blossom Utonium." She looked different today. Her hair was down, instead of her usual high pony tail, and she wore makeup that really showed off her pink eyes. Brick found himself wondering why she was so done up. Was she meeting someone? He pushed away these thoughts when she spoke again.

"Should I even bother leaving?" she asked. Blossom suspected that he was only there to rob the place.

"Even criminals need to eat." Brick pushed past her and picked up his drink.

When he turned to leave he saw that she was still there. Her arms were crossed and she tapped her foot impatiently.

What? Does she think I'll blow the place up?

Brick noticed that Blossom wasn't going to leave him there alone. It looked like she was in a hurry too. Brick decided to mess with her by sitting and having his lunch in the restaurant. He chose a table near where she was waiting.

"Care to join me?" he asked sarcastically, pointing to the empty chair across from him.

The heroine rolled her eyes. "You're doing this on purpose aren't you?"

"What ever do you mean?" Brick asked, feigning innocence.

"You were about to leave until you saw me waiting here."

"How do know that I didn't just want to eat here?"

Blossom pointed to Brick's food. "Any special reason why you would sit down with to-go bags?"

"Maybe I enjoy your company."

"Look Brick, I don't have time for your small talk, if you're not going to commit any crime. I have bigger villains to go after."

Bigger villains? What was he, a small time crook?

"I doubt you'll find a villain bigger than me."

Bigger than I, Blossom mentally corrected him.

"Face it Brick, you never hurt so much as a fly when you rob banks. As far as villains go, the only people you're scarier than are the ameba bros."

Brick quickly lost his temper, slamming Blossom into the nearest wall. He held her there by her shoulders, completely trapping her. Blossom struggled, but couldn't escape his grip. Brick shortened the small distance between them until he was so close Blossom could feel the heat coming from his body.

Brick locked eyes with the pink puff and for a moment he took in her fear for him. He relished her squirming in his hands. It was as easy as catching a butterfly. Why hadn't he done this before?

Brick surged with excitement. This was the kind of power he wanted.

"Just because I don't waste my time hurting people, doesn't mean I can't. Are you sure you're not afraid of me?"

A hint of amusement flickered in Brick's eyes. Blossom had never been this close to him before and looking at him now, it was hard not to fear him.

"There are scarier people," Blossom replied. She didn't care how much her body told on her, she would act as if he didn't faze her.

Brick didn't know if it was the slight shakiness in her voice, the 'trapped' look in her eyes, or the way her lips were quivering slightly, something made him want more. He liked the feeling of control he had over her and he didn't want to give it up.

Blossom watched, helpless as Brick brought his face closer to hers. She waited for his lips in anticipation. Ever since she could remember she has been fighting crime for Townsville. Sometimes she wanted a break, but she felt it was her duty to protect everyone. Obviously there was no time for a boyfriend or a love life of any kind, but lately Blossom had been yearning for some manly attention.

It was almost a relief that Brick was giving her no choice in the matter. She didn't have to feel guilty for betraying the town or her sisters. She could put all the blame on him.

As soon as Brick pressed his lips to Blossom's, they heard a loud crash. A strong force pushed them to the floor.

Brick instinctively used his body to cover Blossom's as pieces of wood and glass went flying everywhere.

After everything settled down, Blossom was surprised to see Brick had protected her from the flying debris. She wanted to thank him, but he was unconscious. Blossom flew out from under him and inspected his body. It looked like some sizable pieces of wood and glass had hit Brick in the back of his head. Blood poured from the wounds and upon further inspection Blossom noticed many pieces of glass had made their way into his skin. Blossom tried to pull them out, but they were covered in a substance that burned her hand and she quickly pulled away.

Blossom needed to get him to a hospital. She looked around the restaurant to see if there were any more victims. The workers were safe behind the counter and luckily they had been the only ones in the eating area at the time. The only other person there was the driver.

Blossom blinked a few times as she understood what just happened. A young guy, drunk for them looks of him, drove into the wall of the fast food restaurant. His car was completely totaled, but he looked fine, alive at least. Blossom grabbed both Brick and the driver and flew them to the hospital.


A/N: I always have such short first chapters. Anyway, review please.
