Authors notes: Hi, thank you for giving me a chance. This ismy first ever story, so I would welcome any contrutive comments, but please don't be to harsh.

Couple of notes about the story it's self:

1. I do not own any of the characters inthis story, unless it is spercificly specified.

2.PPG's are 32 years old in all chapters exceptthe first, when they are 17.

3. I will be using a lot of crossovercharacters, asI am usless atthinking up my own. This isn't a full crossover though, so it's in this section.

4. I know some of my choices for charaters to fullfil certain roles may seem strange. The roles they apear in is not a critisim of over work on this site, or a subliminal message about my oppion of those characters.It's just part of the plot.

5. I can explain everything. If being confussed by my shoddy writing dosn't put you off, please ask andI will try to get back to you.

Okay, hope you enjoy it.


1.

Time is a strange thing. Life is too, only more so. Put the two together and things can get very strange. Like how nothing in your life changes for a year, then everything changes in an hour.

The next hour was going to be like that, especially for Brick. Blossom knew this and she also knew that he was nervous about it.

"You okay," she asked. Brick nodded.

"I'm fine." He was a terrible actor, thought Blossom.

They were wondering down the Metropolis streets late at night, a long way from home in Townsville. Blossom had her head on Brick's shoulder and her arm round his back. He also had his hand round her back, but was very upright, completely unable to relax. Blossom knew why they were walking; Brick was trying to delay it as long as possible.

"You don't have to officially quit," she reminded him, "you could just leave…"

"You mean betray them," he finished shortly.

"They're villains, they're used to it." She lifted her head off his shoulder and placed her hand there instead. "If you're this scared about it, it could be better."

"If I betray them they'll one day get revenge. Or try to. Anyway, if I don't leave a way back…" he hesitated, "er… well…"

"You mean if you can't go back, it will make it harder for you to break up with me?"

Brick jumped.

"Well…er… No! But I've got family in there," he said quickly, before looking at his feet. "And it is quite a step, to cut them out completely, at 17."

Blossom moved round in front of him, and pushed his head back up.

"Fine," she said, leaning in, "quit officially, but let's do it soon, were wasting time."

To emphasise the point, she leaned in and kissed him. Finally, Brick seemed to react to something. He stuck an arm under Blossom and shot the two of them vertically into the air, high above the city. She hooked his legs round his waist. Locked together, they spiralled for a few good minutes.

Eventually, Blossom pushed him gently off.

"Okay," she smiled gently, "there will be more time for that, once you've quit."

Brick grinned back, and suddenly dropped her.

"Great, race you there!" he said, having recovered all his confidence and he streaked off like a bullet.

"HEY, I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING!" Blossom called after him, but he wasn't going to stop. Still, thanks to a trademark red trail left behind, he was easy to follow, even at high speed.

Soon, they were there. In an inconspicuous alley way, right in the centre of the city, Brick landed. Blossom was close behind, almost unable to believe where they were. The entrance to the headquarters of The League of Super villains was in a small alley with a few bins! The hero inside her was screaming at her to call for back up and to take the organisation out. After all, it had been a thorn in all heroes' side ever since it had been founded five years ago. But she wasn't here as a hero.

"How long will you be?" she asked.

"Ten minutes," Brick replied, "hopefully less." He scanned one of the walls, probably looking for a particular brick or something to push, Blossom thought.

"I'll be timing." She said quietly. Brick turned back to her.

"It won't be…SHIT" he shouted, staring past Blossom to the end of the alley way. She turned round to look too, for they were no longer alone.

Standing there, in all his imposing glory, was the Man of Steel himself. He must have followed the two red/pink trails, Blossom though. Worse, he had a journalist, Louis Lane with him. Her brain racing, Blossom realised that anything she said here, was going down on record. She was about to be completely trapped.

Brick jumped away from the way he'd been studying.

"Did you set this up!" he demanded. Blossom jumped.

"What! No! I mean…"

Superman interrupted.

"Well, well, well. Brick, I believe, you are wanted by just about every police force in the country for theft, mugging, armed robbery, arson and tax evasion!"

Brick gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"You won't take me with out a fight."

"I don't think that's a go idea," Superman said earnestly, "I have reinforcements on the way. It would only prolong your jail time."

"Ahh," Brick tried to sound confident, "I have reinforcements now!" Blossom expected Super villains to jump out of the walls to assist, but instead she found Brick was looking at her for support.

Her throat went dry, as she desperately tried to justify her course of action to her self. What would Brick do if the situation was reversed, if a villain was about to attack her? That was obvious; he would help her, but then villains attacking each other was acceptable. Heroes attacking each other was not. Even if she loved him.

So she found herself shaking her head. She'd never seen Brick look so hurt.

"But I'd do anything for you" he hissed, "I'm even going to stop being a villain for you! Can't you stop being a hero, just this once?"

Still she shook her head, but now tears were welling up in her eyes. Superman had not failed to notice this.

"Listen Brick," he said gently, "there is another way. If you tell me where the headquarters of the League of Super Villains is, I'll let you… and Blossom go. Sounds fair?"

Blossom prayed Brick would accept this, but wasn't greatly surprised when he didn't. But that didn't stop her heart sinking to the bottom of her stomach as he spoke.

"I'm not going to betray my brothers, or my colleagues, EVEN IF I HAVE BEEN BY MY GIRLFRIEND!"

Superman sighed, as Blossom sunk to the ground in tears.

"You leave me no choice" he said.

As the fight started, Blossom sat slumped on the ground, clenching her hair. Brick was right, he had betrayed him. She had to help him! But that would mean giving up everything other than Brick… her job, her sisters, the Professor, the lot. Now she finally understood why Brick had been so scared of quitting the villains, and how much he must have loved her to agree to it.

But the question now was did she love him that much back?


If I haven't wasted enough of your time already, please review. And be gentle. Thank you.
