Buttercups POV
Mitch's apartment building.
How did I get here?
Obviously I flew, but I don't remember doing it.
Just flying, and then... here.
Now I'm outside Mitch's apartment. Number 203.
What now?
'Knock.' My inner voice tells me.
'No! Why would I do that!' I think back.
'You know you want to! You want to knock, have him answer, and have him invite you in!'
'No! I do NOT like Mitch!'
'You're right, you dont like him.'
'Thank you.'
'You LOVE him! You can't deny your feelings for him!'
'SHUT UP!'
I shake my head clear of argument.
First I ask myself unending questions, and now I argue with myself.
I MUST be going INSANE!
But what do I do? I can't just stand outside his door.
Someone will think I'm a weirdo.
So... What do I do?
My hand raises shakily to the door. It stops, and floats just inches away from the wood.
'Knock, damn you!'
My knuckles hit the wood.
I stand and wait for someone to answer.
Bubbles POV
I knew Buttercup would like it. I have amazing fingers, and now she knows it.
But, now that my sexual craving is gone, what should I do?
Nothing sounds like any fun... God, I'm so bored.
"AAAARRRRGGGG!" I groan in frustration, and fall back onto the couch.
I could go visit Dad at his lab...
Nah, he doesn't like us just popping up in his work place.
TV doesn's sound very good, and I have nowhere to go.
This is going to be a LONG day.
Alexs POV
I walk with Blossom down the sidewalk. Not going anywhere inparticular, just strolling along.
"So, how do you like Townsville so far?" She asks.
"Pretty good. It's a peacful place." I reply.
"Yeah, well, it didn't always use to be this way. This city used to be attacked every other day." Blossom sighs.
"Terrorists?" I ask.
"Giant monsters, supervillans, the works. Over time it all sorta' died down. Now it's pretty qiuet around here." Blossom explains.
"Oh, I see. Must have been pretty hard trying to keep it all under control." I say.
"Yeah, but between me and my sisters powers, we always got the job done." She says back.
"Well, it's a good thing you w-" I stop abruptly as I feel a familiar presence pulse through my senses.
I know this presence. I can sense it with every fiber of my being. It's...
Evil, with a raging hunger that cannot be fufilled.
"Alex? Are you okay?" Blossom asks, worry tapering on the edge of her voice.
I lose focus on her. Where is it? I need to locate where it is...
It must be close if I can feel it this strongly.
It's a large presence. An expanding hive.
Shit...
Where is it? Focus Alex, focus...
DAMN IT! I can't hone in, its still to far away.
Fuck fuck FUCK!
I WON'T let the virus be loose here!
I JUST WON'T!
"Alex!" Blossom exclaimes, now panicking.
"Blossom..." I mutter.
"There's something I didn't tell you about myself..."
Blossom gives me a confused look.
"What is it?" She asks.
I look around. There are to many people to show her.
"Come with me." I say, grabbing her hand.
I pull to lead her away, but she doesn't budge.
"Oh no! I don't think so! Not until you tell me what's going on!" She exclaimes.
I look her in the eyes pleadingly. "Please, Blossom." I whisper.
She stares at me, and her face softens. "Okay." She whispers back.
I lead her to the closest alley, and make sure no ones around.
"Okay, Blossom, what I'm about to show you is going to be an extream shocker. I'm about to reveal to you something no one else has ever seen." I explain.
She gives me a questioning look.
I inhale, and exhale slowly.
I focus on the virus.
Blossom gasps as it seeps out of my jacket, and forms over my arms. The foot long claws slide out in place of my fingers.
"What... What is that Alex?" She asks, fear and confusion in her voice.
"This... Is a virus. For others, it would make them a ravanous zombie. Whos desire is soley to kill. But for me..."
I sigh.
"For me, it is simply a wepon. I can control it, make it bend to my will." I say.
"Why are you showing me this?" Blossom asks.
"Listen, Blossom, this virus has been set loose in your city. I don't know how it was, but it is. I can sense it, feel its presence coursing through my senses." I explain.
"Where is it?" Blossom asks.
"I don't know, I can't pinpoint it." I reply.
"Damn... We need to start looking then."
My arms revert back to human form.
"Agreed." I say.
We jog out of the alley, and head down the street.
