Chapter 1: Finding the Mark
Narrarater's P.O.V.
The city of Townsville…Is the center of a Powerpuff/ Rowdyruff war.
Brick throws Blossom into a building. Butch and Buttercup are locked in hand-to-hand combat. And Bubbles and Boomer are no where to be found.
"Had enough yet, Pinky? You look a little tired." Brick says throwing fireballs Blossom.
"Not a chance." Blossom says using her ice breath as a shield.
"High-Ya!" Buttercup kicks Butch in the balls.
"Oh! You're so gonna pay for that, Butter-babe." Butch says groaning in pain.
"Don't. Call. Me. Butter-babe!" Buttercup says, irritated.
In the distance the two sets of Powerpuffs and Rowdyruffs hear a muffled scream.
"Bubbles!" Blossom yells as she stops fighting Brick and flys in the direction of her sister's scream
"Boomer!" Brick yelled flying after Blossom. "You better be kicking little Blondie's ass!"
Boomer heard his brother and Blossom coming closer to him and Bubbles so he tried to make it look like they were fighting. Under his breath he said "I'm sorry, Bubbles" And throws a lighting bolt at Bubbles.
Bubbles P.O.V.(then next day)
I wake up in an unfamiliar room, dark blue walls with football logos (A/N: Not sure if that's what they are called or not) tacked all over the place. I lie in an unfamiliar bed and all around me is a nest of blue blankets and pillows with a familiar smell on them. I try to move but find my wrists and feet are bound. I start freaking out. Thinking it's a new trick he wants to try. As I move my foot my ankle starts to burn.
There must be Antidote X on whatever is binding me. Fuck! I think.
I turn my head to the left and see a blonde boy sleeping in a chair. On his left arm is a lighting bolt tattoo with Boomer above it and Rowdyruff boy #3 under it. He must sense being watched because he opens his eyes. Cobalt blue eyes stare back at me. "Bubbles! You're awake!" He says quickly standing up.
"Boomer, why do I feel like shit? And where are we anyway?"
"We are at my apartment in Cityville." Then shyly he says "And it's my fault you feel like shit."
"How is it your fault I feel like shit?"
"Yesterday's fight. Blossom and Brick were getting close to us so I punched you to make it look like we were fighting each other. I flew after you to make sure you were okay, and I saw you were unconscious so I brought you here." He sits down on the bed, I try to sit up but my wrists and ankles start burning.
"Why can't we just tell them? We've been dating for two years now."
"Look Bubbles, I know what everyone has always said about me, but I'm not some stupid little boy now, and telling my brothers and your sisters about us is really stupid."
"Boomer! Your being stupid thinking it's stupid to tell them."Again I try to move and my wrist and ankles start to burn. "And uh Boomer why am I tied up? More importantly why is there Antidote X on it?"
He looks at the floor, not wanting to meet my eyes, "I...uh...I...I...you were trying to fight with me when I was bringing you here. So I stopped by Mojo Jojo's and got a rope. As for the Antidote X, when I was tying your hands and ankles, my hands weren't burned or hurt.
"You stopped by Mojo Jojo's! He's tried to destroy me over a dozen times since I was Five! You should have known he would put Antidote X on the rope! Boomer please untie me." I yell at Boomer.
"Your just like them now!" he says. I must look clueless because he explains "Your calling me stupid now too! You say you would never call me stupid!"
"I'm sorry okay?" I start crying, forgetting about the make-up concealing the mark on my cheek, and my make-up starts running. He finally unties me.
"Holy Shit! Bubbles did I do that?" I shake my head no. "Then who hit you? Did you and Buttercup get in another fight?" He moves his hand to my cheek.
"No! She hasn't hit me since last year."
"Then who the fuck hit you? There's a hand print on your cheek!" He yelled
"No one hit me!" I yell back
He can't ever know that the Professor hits us.(A/N: By "us" Bubbles means her, Blossom, and Buttercup)
I shove his hand away and fly to his bedroom door,ready to fly back to Townsville as soon as I opened the door. I try the handle and find it's locked. "Boomer why is your door locked?"
"So if you woke up and I wasn't here you wouldn't leave."
"Boomer, I have super strength if I wanted out I could just pull the door off its hinges. And if that doesn't work I'll use my sonic scream to break the windows."
"What happened to Bubbles? The girl I fell in love with?" He walks over to the door and unlocks it,and opens it.
"I'm still me, Boomer."
"No your not. Your keeping something from me. You won't tell me who hit you. You haven't called me Boomie in forever and now your trying to leave." He sighs, defeated. "There's another guy isn't there?"
"Boomie was a nickname I gave you when we were kids, we're not kids anymore. There's no other guy, Boomer you're my only guy. And I...I...I just can't tell you who hit me." I stand on my tip toes and kiss him on the cheek. "I'm sorry Boomer, but I got to go." And flew out the door and back to Townsville.
Blossom's P.O.V.
Buttercup and I were looking for Bubbles in Townsville when we saw her signature light blue streak in the sky, heading towards our house. Buttercup and I immediately take to the sky and follow her home.
We get to the house in time to see Bubbles flying into her room, and slamming the door shut. ( A/N:When the girls turned 14 the Professor gave each of the girls their own room.) Moments later we knock on Bubbles light blue door.
"Bubbles, are you okay? Where were you? We were worried sick, and the Professor was starting to think you got kidnapped." I asked.
"Bubbles can you let us in? You have10 seconds before I kick the door down. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six..." Buttercup says, getting ready to kick the door down.
"Leave me alone!" Bubbles shouts.
"Buttercup maybe I should try to talk to Bubbles. Alone" I suggest to Buttercup.
Buttercup mumbles a "Fine." and floats to her room across the hallway then slams her light green door.
"Bubbles, do you want to talk about this?"
"I said Leave. Me. Alone!"
"Bubbles, this isn't like you." I say and start walking towards my pink door. I hear a squeak, and turn around. Bubbles stands their in a light blue dress with no shoes on, her make up in streaks andtears rolling down her cheeks. The black-and-blue-mark on her cheek exposed
"Oh great now two people say I'm not the same anymore." She says and slams her door shut again.
"Girls," The Professer yells up the stairs "is everything alright up there? I keep hearing doors slam."
Buttercup and Bubbles open theirs doors and we all yell "Everything's fine Professer!"
Bubbles P.O.V. (Later that same day)
I'm lying on my bed, half asleep and half crying,when I hear a knocking on my window. I look over and see Boomer sitting on my window sill. I go over the window and let Boomer in.
"Hey, Bubbles about earlier , I'm sorry. I saw that mark on your face, and I freaked. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or anything."
"It's okay Boomer. I shouldn't have called you stupid." I said, then mumbled "The Professer hit me."
"Wait, what." He looks at me confused. I shake my head no. " Bubbles what did you say? It sounded like you said the Professer hit you." I look down at my floor a tear rolls down my cheek. He tilts my head up so he can look into my baby blue eyes. "Oh God Bubbles. Come on. We're leaving." He rushes around my room looking for something.
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm taking you back to my apartment. You're 18, an adult, you don't have to live with the Professer."
"Alright, but he's not gonna let me leave with a boy much less a Rowdyruff boy. I'll have to tell him...hmmm...oh...I'll tell him I'm gonna go over to Suzie's house. She moved to Cityville last year." I get my backpack from under my bed and start packing, meanwhile Boomer climbs out my window. I make sure I cover-up the bruise on my cheek.
As I'm walking out my door Buttercup opens her door and askes me "Where are you going?" Then she goes over to Blossoms door and yells "Bloss get out here." While Buttercup is distracted I race down the stairs to find the Professor. Just as I reach the door to the Professor's lab Buttercup and Blossom tackled me.
"Don't go down there." "He'll just hit you if you tell him your leaving." Blossom and Buttercup say. They pick me up and take me to the front door.
This is the end of my first chapter. There will be lemon in the next chapter, and I will tell you about the Abuse part of the story.
