Bubbles waited at home for him. It was so dark out she thought she wouldn't be able to see him. But of course, she did.

With a flash of green, she watched him land in front of her window. Bubbles laughed to herself out of excitement and went to lock her door.

'I really hope Buttercup leaves me be tonight.' she thought to herself as she went and grabbed her black jacket and went out the window, making sure to leave it open just a crack so she could get back in later that night.

"Hello there gorgeous." He chuckled. He didn't really give her a chance to respond before he turned and started back down the sidewalk again.

Bubbles smiled to the back of his head and ran to his side again. She giggled and his eyes flashed with something along the lines of amusement and adoration.

He stopped walking after a while, the whole time being in silence. When he finally said something she was slightly startled.

"Don't be scared baby blue." He suddenly snatched her wrist and they shot up into the air. A streak of baby blue and forest green following behind them.

Bubbles still said nothing, waiting for him to be the first to say something. Butch stopped and pulled her to a roof top of some building with no relevance.

"You're fine being up here?" He finally spoke. Bubbles watched him lean onto his back and look up into the sky and stared at him for a while before he turned to look at her again. Her cheeks flared up with warmth of embarrassment. she looked away and crossed her legs, looking for a way to change the subject. Shifting to face him, she pulled out a pack of cigarettes from her jacket pocket. And then patted her pockets searching for a lighter.

'Damnit... must've left it on the nightstand.' Bubbles thought thought to herself

"Do you have a lighter?" she asked embarrassed. Such a nasty habit. But, To her surprise, he pulled one out of his pocket and swiped a cig from the pack in her hand. Then lighted the one hanging from her lips.

"I didn't think I'd ever see the famous Bubbles doing something as nasty as smoking." Butch chuckled. He scooted closed to Bubbles and she could smell the mint coming off of him.

"Me either.. blame Buttercup." She took a long drag and looked over to him. His face has really matured over the years. She tried her best to study his face without being caught. He peaked at her through thick lashed out of the corner of his eyes. She blushed and looked away.

(bbls pov)

"Where have you been all these years Butch," I finally said as I looked at the town bellow us, "I can't even begin the explain how I am feeling right now." I giggled more out of frustration than out of happiness for his return.

"Ha, ya' missed me? How cute." He teased and smirked, running his hand through his messy black hair.

"That red headed bitch of a sister you got? She told Mojo that we were hanging out. Mojo took us out of school, home schooled us for a bit." I bit my lip in anger. That bitch!

l made a noise to show him I was listening.

"Truthfully, I missed you guys a lot. After we lost contact, me and my brother became real jerks towards eachother. All three of us blamed one another for not being able to go back to school," he paused to cough. " Me and my brothers stopped talked last year. We all just couldn't get along after that." my stomach churned. The thought of him and his brothers not talking at all played in my head and my stomach churned. I had never seen them away from each other before.

"Me and my sisters don't get along that great anymore either. Blossom makes my life a living hell. Buttercup is always getting me in trouble." Butch made a noise somewhat close to a giggle and a cough.

"But lifes gotten better. Buttercup and I model a lot now. We do almost everything together. We're quite adventurous really." I threw the butt off the roof, "Blossom on the other hand, focuses still on school. Shes dating now. She really never has time for us anymore, but I'm not complaining." I chuckled to myself, thinking back on dinner.

We sat for a while in silence. Which I enjoy immensely. It gave me time to think about what I was going to say to Blossom about this when I got home. I looked over to Butch and watched as he shook his leg. Guess he still hasn't over his tick from his childhood. I watched as he pulled out his phone after hearing it vibrate, and checking it. His eyed widened slightly and he looked at me. He was close enough for me to be able to feel his warmth that radiated off of him. He moved his hand up to play with the zipper of my jacket, biting his lip. I shivered a little from the contact.

"Want to come with me for a bit?" he squinted his eyes at me dropping his hand to my thigh. I nodded simply, trying to not blush. I'd rather be with him than locked up in my room. He grabbed my wrist and he jumped of the tall building. My heart jumped out of my throat for a second, as we were falling. But then he dragged me upwards back up into the sky as we flew at a quick pace. Hes such a jerk sometimes. I love it.

"In a rush?" I laughed. He grunted. We were quiet.

We landed at a school. In Citysville. An old elementary school that looked like it haven't been walked into in years. My wrist was still firmly in his grasp when we landed. The air around us was cold but not uncomfortable. I cannot remember the last time I've been to Citysville actually. Buttercup came down here alot to visit friends, but I never went with. Every time Buttercup came down there she wold come home drunk. I hate drunk Buttercup.

I looked around, zoned out to what was actually going on. The cold from the night making my nose drip

Butch started talking to me but I couldn't understand him. "What'd you say?" I whispered, coming back to reality when he let go of my wrist finally. "Wait here." He said rudely as he rolled his eyes and walked away from me to the back of the building. What was that all about?! He gets irritated way to easily.

Of course I wasn't going to listen to him, me being nosey and all. I moved to the side and watched him walk up to a parked van. I've always loved little travel vans like that. I watched him closely as he stood under a faint light next to the van. I could see Butch talking to someone in the front seat of the van, his foot tapped slightly. He reached into his back pocket and handed the person some cash. In return he got something I couldn't exactly make out. Butch shoved it away in his pocket and turned to walk back to me. He held a blank face.

"Hey. You want to go hang out at a club tonight? Catch up more?" Butch said to me casually, as if nothing happened at all. Whatever he just purchased seemed to put him in a better mood, gladly. "I would love too." I smiled up at him. I'm not one to go out to bars all the time, but I couldn't find a reason to not in this moment. He turned and we started off again, walking this time, down the dark road.

"Well bubs, this is it!" He chuckled. I haven't been called bubs in such a long time. It was the brothers nickname for me, so when they left, so did the name.

I had no clue what 'this' was. I looked around me and saw a huge flashing sign above me. Club Zingo. Buttercup used to tell me about going here all the time last summer. I'm not one for drinking and pool and or other things like that. But I could pull through it if it meant I got to spend time with him.
I knew I should've left then but I still couldn't bring myself to do it. It was getting pretty late and professor might've noticed I left and be worried!

I nodded at Butch. He took my hand in his and rushed me in. I was really enjoying the hand holding. No boy has ever willingly held my hand before, it's a nice feeling. When he opened the door I felt a wave of heat run over me and my head spun a little. Villains. It was a bar full of VILLAINS! This was no place for someone like me. And I'm only 16! I could get in so much trouble. But then again, I did bring this on myself. I had opportunities to leave but I stayed. And this was the ghetto Citiesville, no body here cared about anything to begin with. Butch walked in and started waving at people, smirking like he owned the place. He let go of my hand. "Okay. As long as you don't be a blonde ditz, you'll be okay in here. Got it?" He crossed his arms and looked down at me, a teasing smirk on his lips. I swear I felt my heart skip a beat. Hes to much sometimes.

"Yeah. Sure." I held my hands behind my back and fiddled with my hands. "Okay good-" he swiftly moved over and put his arm around my waist. Butch pushed me forward and rushed me over to the back corner of the dark room. We weeved in and out of groups of people. A lot of them knowing Butch very well. I guess he comes here often. Some even stopped us to ask if I was Butchs date. Cute. We went to a crowded table and sat down. Sat across from me was something-or someone- I never thought I'd see again in my lifetime. The gang green gang. What was I seriously doing in here..

"Hey boys. I brought this babe with me. She was practically begging me to take her out tonight." Butch elbowed my side and laughed. They all snickered. Ace reached across the table and put his hand on my wrist. I couldn't find the courage to move away.

"Well well well...what made you want to change your mind then girly?" He snickered.

"What do you mean?" I looked up at him.

"Going against your sisters. Hanging out with the evil side of town! Clear betrayal to you're powerpuff values it looks like." He moved away from me and sat back in his seat. Is this even close to betrayal? Was this even a big deal? Why can't I just relax and enjoy this time away from them. This is, after all, why I left the house in the first place.

"Exactly." I said proudly. I knew deep inside myself that was a lie. I was here to take a break from my family. Not go against them. I'm not here to go all evil on them! I'm a good girl. Most of the time.

Butch put his hand on my thigh comfortingly as I started to get really uncomfortable. I guess he noticed. Butch sat and had casual talk with the gang. Including family shit, jobs, and normal day activities. I just sat in the background of the conversation and enjoyed it all. It's strange to listen to villains talk about their lives like it is normal. And for the most of it, they were pretty normal. We ordered drinks and had a great time. Like we were all normal people just trying to have a good time. Well, I knew I was having a good time.

Being around villains after hours wasn't all that awful to be completely honest! But that doesn't mean I should put my guard down. They are still villains after all. I had a couple drinks, something I'm not used to doing. We both, all together had around 8 drinks.

I've drank with Buttercup before. We had a little slumber party with some of her friends, Monique and Natalie, when Blossom left for science fair. It was about a year ago now. And let me tell you, It was amazing. Buttercup got me so drunk I striped with her and we went to the neighbors pool and went skinny dipping! I'd probably do it all sober now, but then at that time I was ashamed of myself the morning after. It was great! Until we got caught.

When Buttercup and Natalie were asleep, Monique asked me if we could smoke. It was the first time I ever did anything like that but I don't regret it. It burned my throat at first and I couldn't stop coughing for the life of me, but it was still fun. Later on Monique started to get all touchy feely on me after a while and it made me question her sexuality. Maybe she was just that kind of drunk, but whatever. She told me I was beautiful, and did eventually start making out with me- I shouldnt be thinking about this right now, i should be having fun with Butch.

"Bubbles. We should get you home soon dude." Butch put his arm around me. He seemed so perfectly fine. While my head was spinning. I smirked playfully at him and put my hand on his cheek.

"We should go back to your place" i giggled and his eyes widened. He suddenly grabbed my hand and removed it from his face. Butch scrunched his eyebrows together.

"Let me just take you home bubs.." he stood up from his seat, trying to pull me out of mine.

"But I don't wanna!" I whined. How pathetic of me. Butch seemed to only find it funny, he was chuckling to himself.

"Oh come on babe. Have you never had a drink before?! Get up." He hissed at me. I listened to him, more out of fear than actually wanting too. I stood up and I immediately fell forward. Butch caught me under my arms and grunted in a rude way. "I can't be dealing with this..what the fuck was I thinking taking YOU out!" I don't know if it was really directed for me to take harshly, but it still hurt to hear. Suddenly, I was scooped into the air and my head started to pound. He lifted me gently and swiftly. Holding me close to him. Butch had put me on his hip like a child, and walked out of the club. I didn't protest. I just rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. He held the back of my head as we walked. To all the people around him, it must just look like a pissed off father carrying his little shit of a child out of a bar.

I could feel him lifting off the ground into the cold midnight air. For the rest of the ride I just listened to him breath.
