AN: I forgot to put an author's note at the end of the last chapter, but I hope you liked it, I tried to throw in some more butchercup and a little more personality from Buttercup. I hope the update was fast enough! I just want to thank everyone who has been reading and keeping up with my story so far! Please review!

Chapter 9: Normality?

Buttercup's POV

After introducing myself to the class, they all started taking loudly at the same time, all of their conversations about me. None were bad though so I was ok with the attention. I took my seat next to Brick and we got into the lesson and I was paying attention until I saw a note land on my desk.

'Good to have you back BC -Brick'

I looked over and smiled at him, then I went back to listening to the details of our next project. The classes seemed to go by slow since I was anticipating gym with Butch today. I talked to Boomer all through chorus class since we weren't doing anything today. He was a fun person to talk to, it was like talking to a male version of Bubbles.

"So, what's going on with you and Butch?" I smiled a little and blushed. "Well, I like him alot, but he hasn't asked me out yet. Like we've almost kissed twice and admitted that we liked each other, but he hasn't asked me out yet so I'm not sure if he's serious or not…" Boomer looked surprisingly interested, he was Bubbles' counterpart after all. "BC, I know he loves you, he cried every day after he thought you died… don't tell him I told you this!" I laughed and replied. "Thanks Boomer, and your secret is safe with me."

We continued on random conversations until the bell finally rang. I smiled knowing I would see Butch next period. I walked to the locker rooms and got changed into my gym uniform.

I walked into the gym as the bell rang and made eye contact with Butch, who was roughhousing with Garett. He left Garett and ran over and hugged me and swung my around. "I missed you BC!" I laughed and so did he. "I saw you last night!" He leaned in to whisper in my ear, "I know and you looked sexy as hell." He squeezed my ass as he said it and I jumped and punched his arm. We both started laughing and only stopped when the gym teacher came in.

We were playing soccer and as usual I kicked everyone's asses. I still had my jersey so I was technically still on the team. Gym had the whole soccer team in it so it was pretty much an early soccer practice since the gym teacher was the coach. I had fun as always in gym, but it seemed to end too soon.

I got changed back into my clothes and I went to my next class with Brick. It was boring a usual and seemed to last forever, so I was glad when the lunch bell rang. I walked with Brick and sat at the table with Boomer, but to my disappointment, Butch wasn't there.

"Hey, where's Butch?" Boomer smirked and said. "He actually wanted to meet you outside, he's at the soccer field." I smiled to Boomer. "Thanks Boomer! See you guys soon!"

I walked out to the soccer fields but Butch wasn't there, only a soccer ball was. I walked over to it and saw something was written on it. I picked it up and read the writing. "Will you be my Girlfriend?" I looked around and saw Butch standing behind me with a box of chocolates.

I was touched, but I refused to let myself cry. "Hell yeah I wanna be your Girlfriend!" I ran up and kissed him before there was a chance for us to be interrupted.

His lips were soft like I had imagined. I could feel all of our pent up emotions in that kiss, every time we were interrupted, all the one we spent apart from each other. He moved his hands from my waist to my butt and squeezed it. I gasped and he took the opportunity to slide his tongue in my mouth as I returned the favor. I didn't even notice when we ended up on the ground, but somehow we made it there and he was laying on top of me. We pulled apart to breathe.

"I love you" I breathed out. "I love you too." I smiled at his reply and leaned up to kiss him again when we heard someone clearing their throat. Uh oh.

Butch and I ended up in the office and I was trying so hard not to laugh at how the situation turned out. I thought the whole thing was funny until the principal said, "We're going to have to notify your legal guardians." That's when I saw no more humor in the situation. The professor was going to kill me! I looked over to Butch with fear evident in my eyes. He looked totally fine with the whole situation. His guardian was Brick! Of course he wouldn't care! He didn't know I was already in thin ice with the Professor.

"Why do you have to calm them?" I desperately tried to get them to not call my dad, it was game over if they did. "We always notify a guardian when their child breaks a rule and we know exactly who your guardian is." I paled, this was it, I was over. I looked over to Butch, he could see the panic in my face. He looked guilty, but he couldn't do anything about it.

When we were finally released I started venting to him. "Butch, I'm already on thin ice with the professor since he found out about my outing at the club! If he finds out about this I don't even know what he'll do!" He looked guilty. "I'm sorry, Buttercup, I didn't mean to get you in trouble… I just wanted a place where we wouldn't be interrupted to ask you out…" I didn't mean to make him feel bad. "No! Butch it's not your fault! I'm not upset with you, I'm just a little nervous about what the Professor's gonna do to me! I don't regret anything, I just wish that teacher didn't turn us in…"

we laughed and he walked me to my next class. Nothing else really happened during the school day, but at the end of the last period the professor texted me saying, come straight home after soccer practice, we are having a long talk tonight. I sighed and went to change for practice.

I put on a pair of black athletic shorts, a white shirt with a black adidas symbol on the front. I wore black socks and my normal black and green soccer cleats. Butch and I proved to still be an unstoppable team. The coach put us in a scrimmage on the same team and we won 26-3. Obviously, our team functioned best when we played together.

When practice ended, I started to walk with Butch. "The professor told me to come straight home from practice because we were going to have a long talk… wish me luck." He smiled sadly and said, "Good luck babe, love you." I smiled every time he said that. "Love you too." I leaned up on my tip toes and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips which he returned. I smiled to him and teleported outside the door of my house, preparing myself to what I was about to face inside.

I used my key to unlock the door and slowly opened it to see if there was anyone in the main room. Just my luck the professor was sitting on the couch looking right at the door. Fuck. "Well are you going to come in Buttercup? We have some things to talk about."

I knew I was entering a war zone so I just stood there and tried to make up my mind: go in or make a break for it. I seriously did consider the second option, but I knew that would only get me in more trouble. I hesitantly walked in and put my backpack on a hanger near the door. I walked over to the couch at an agonizingly slow pace. I looked around and saw Bubbles and Blossom eavesdropping in on our conversation that would happen in the near future.

"Stop being immature and walk over here at a normal pace!" I flinched at his stern tone, I was really in for it. I finished my walk over to the couch and sat down, avoiding any eye contact with the professor. I was growing uneasy with the extended silence, I always hated silence. "You wanted to talk?" I never looked up from my hands, which were toying with the strings on the rips of my jeans. "Look at me, Buttercup."

I looked up but looked past him at the kitchen table. Hopefully he wouldn't notice. "At ME. Not what's behind me." No such luck. I swallowed the dry lump in my throat and shifted my gaze onto his hard disappointed eyes. I flinched at the intensity and looked down again, not wanting to see the disappointment I caused him. Contrary to popular belief, I wanted to make the Professor proud, but I kept fucking up like this. "Buttercup, I need you to look me in the eyes and I need you to keep them there." I slowly moved my eyes up to meet his, his dark brown eyes had turned into a glare, adding anger onto the disappointment.

"Thank you, now we can talk, I wanted to make sure you hear EVERYTHING I say. So I'm pretty sure you know this much, but I got a phone call from your school saying my daughter was caught on school premises in an act of Public Display of Affection. Now I want you to explain what that display of affection was, and don't try to lie to me, I already have an idea."

"Dad, don't make me do this…" I was on the verge of tears, I didn't want to see the look of disappointment in his eyes as I told him what I did. "Buttercup, you had better start talking before you get in more trouble."

I let out a shaky breath and begin my story. "So I went to lunch with Brick since we had the last class together, but when we got there, it was only Boomer, so I asked where Butch was and Boomer said he was on the soccer field and wanted to talk to me, so I went outside. When I got to the field, nobody was there, but there was a soccer ball on the field, so I walked over and picked it up because I saw something was written on it…" I paused for a second and tried to calm my shaky voice a little. I started to look around the room to stall for time. I felt the professor's hand grab my cheeks and force me to face him again. "Keep your eyes on mine. I'm not going to tell you again." I nodded and swallowed, ready to continue my story.

"The soccer ball said, 'Will you be my Girlfriend' I looked around to see who left it there and I saw Butch standing there with a box of chocolates. I said yes and kissed him." I hoped he would let me off with a vague description, but once again, no such luck. He narrowed his eyes. "What happened during your little 'kiss'?" He hissed. I had never seen him that angry. "I-I ki-kissed him?" It sounded more like a question, but I knew there was no right answer, so I went with the most vague one. He snarled a little. "Some detail, please, you know what I'm asking and you're only making me angrier. Blossom warned me about your tactics and I'm not about to fall for them!" I was trying not to cry, if I told him the whole story, he would be so disappointed in me. He just warned me not to act out again like at the club and now this the very next day. "FINE! I KISSED HIM AND HE GRABBED MY BUTT, THEN I OPENED MY MOUTH AND HE STUCK HIS TONGUE IN AND I DID THE SAME! I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE WE WERE ON THE GROUND UNTIL THAT TEACHER CAME UP AND INTERRUPTED US! ARE YOU HAPPY?! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR? WELL THERE YOU GO, GO AHEAD, TELL ME HOW MUCH OF A FUCKING DISAPPOINTMENT I AM!" Halfway through my outburst I started crying because I could see how disgusted he was with me. He just shook his head and I teleported to my room and started crying into my pillow.

There was no way he was going to let me stay at that school, but I couldn't leave Butch or the soccer team! I didn't even notice when I stopped crying, but I found myself curled up in my green blankie.

I heard a soft knock on my door. "Buttercup, we need to discuss your punishment…" I didn't respond to the Professor, if I had any luck at all, he would just leave it alone and I could stall my punishment. I don't know why I even hoped because I hadn't had any luck earlier in the day.

The professor walked over and started to shake me. "Buttercup, you need to wake up." I realized I had to face him eventually so I sat up and refused to look at him with my puffy eyes and my tear stained face. "So, what's the verdict?" I never met his eyes. "I'm not going to tell you until you look me in the eyes, Buttercup." His tone had an edge to it that I really didn't need right now, but I tried to keep calm.

I looked up into his sharp dark brown eyes for the fourth time since I got home and it felt just as painful each time. "Do you regret doing it? Be honest." I knew the truth was the wrong answer. I didn't regret a second of it and I would do it again without a second thought. It wasn't like I had sex with him! Apparently I was taking to long to answer because he asked his question again. "Do. You. Regret. Doing. It." I stared right into his eyes and replied honestly. "No." I cringed at the anger that burned like fire in his eyes and I mentally prepared myself for an onslaught of names directed towards me.

Not many people would guess, but the Professor had quite the temper himself! "That's it, I'm taking you out of that school, I should've never sent you back. First day and you're making out with the boy who tried to kill you. ARE YOU CRAZY? AS A POWERPUFF GIRL YOU CAN'T WALK AROUND ACTING LIKE A SLUT!" The professor froze realizing his mistake, but like Blossom, I knew he meant it. "Buttercup, wait, I'm so-" "don't try to apologize, you meant it. I didn't lie to you, so don't lie to me. I'm moving back into my old apartment." "Buttercup, no! I'm so-" "YOU'RE NOT SORRY FOR WHAT YOU SAID! YOU'RE SORRY THAT I'M MOVING BACK OUT! YOU AND BLOSSOM BOTH! I CAN'T LIVE WITH THIS!" I blew up at the Professor, but he looked confused. "Wait, what happened with Blossom?" Of course he didn't know. "Why don't you ask her why we ended up in Countysville last night in the first place? If she doesn't tell the truth, Bubbles will." The whole time I was talking to the professor I was packing extra clothes and my bathroom necessities. "Buttercup please don't go sweetie, you just got back!" "And you all still treat me the same. Goodbye Professor, I'll visit on the weekends." With that I teleported to my own apartment.

Professor's POV

She teleported away before I could convince her that I didn't mean it. How could I be so stupid? Why can't she understand I just don't want anything else to happen to her? And did she say Blossom did something? "Blossom! Bubbles! Come up here!"

They both came up the steps and looked in Buttercup's room, surprised to see it empty. "Umm… Dad, where's Buttercup?" That was Blossom. "Be honest, did you say something to her?" She looked down in guilt. "Yeah. I-I told her that she was ruining the Powerpuff Girl reputation… I didn't really mean it though! I was just mad at her!"

I was shocked, I honestly never expected this kind of bullying from my eldest daughter. "Blossom, she just got back, why would you say that, what could she have possibly done to make you so mad?"

"Remember Whalen she went out without telling anyone? Well I was just mad that she was already going back to her old rebellious ways… now that I think about it, I overreacted." I sighed realizing I did the same. They were dating, why did I call her a slut? I really didn't even think about saying it, it just came out. I needed to make things right.

Buttercup POV

I appeared in my house and stumbled a bit upon landing. I didn't really want to leave, I just needed a break for a little while and I knew just the person to distract me.

Me: Hey Butch, I'm at my old apartment, wanna come over?

Butch: Hell yeah!

Me: Ok cool hurry up I'm bored and have nothing else to do.

Butch: ok be there in two minutes

I flopped on my back and closed my eyes waiting for him to arrive. I thought about how I was overreacting to the Professor and Blossom. It didn't really hurt that much, it was just a little annoying how they treat me like the problem child. I don't really know why I was acting like such a drama queen, but I was going to make the best of my situation. Just like he said, Butch knocked on the door two minutes later. I couldn't help but smile at how good of a boyfriend he already was. I walked over and opened the door and he pulled me into a kiss.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and dragged him in while he closed the door behind himself. This kiss was more innocent than the last one that got me in trouble, but still had a fire behind it that I couldn't get enough of. Eventually, we had to pull away for air, and I stared into his eyes. "I love you." He whispered in my ear and it sent a shiver down my spine. I pulled him in for a shorter kiss and responded to him. "I love you too."

After a while just enjoying each other's presence, we decided to actually do something, and we decided on a movie. "So what do you want to watch, I have on demand so we can just rent a movie from there."

He looked like he was thinking hard and I couldn't help but to make a crack at him. "Hey don't think too hard, I don't want you hurt." I tried to sound serious, but I started laughing at the end and he joined me. It sounds ridiculous, but once the joke stopped being funny, we just laughed at each other laughing. I could definitely get used to this relationship.

Butch's POV

After our laugh attack, we decided to binge watch "The Office". We had both already watched all the seasons twice, but another time couldn't hurt. It was about seven episodes into season three when I felt a weight on my chest. I looked down to see my girlfriend had fallen asleep.

I couldn't take my eyes away from her peaceful face, it was a rare sight after all. I took the time to memorize every inch of her perfect face. I memorized how her freckles reminded me of a light dusting of spices, setting her apart from her sisters. I memorized how her nose was cute and small, twitching in the cutest way when something pissed her off. I memorized her naturally pink, full lips that curve into a smile whenever she sees me and that felt so right against my own. I memorized how her cheekbones were so defined without the help of makeup. I memorized how fucking sappy I was being in this moment and immediately slapped myself back to reality. I was disgusted with myself and if she caught me I would've never heard the end of it.

I lied down next to her, pulling her closer to me and playing with her soft wavy hair. I wrapped my arms around her waist as if she were a stuffed animal, and in that moment everything seemed perfect… until the door opened.

Professor's POV

I used the key Buttercup left us and opened the door to her apartment. I took the key out of the lock and dropped them when I looked up. My eyes met green ones, but not the lime green I was expecting. Instead I saw dark forest green eyes, wide with panic. I didn't see Buttercup, but became a little angry to see she was sleeping on top of him!

"BC! You gotta wake up love." The boy tried to whisper, but I could hear him clearly.

I stood there waiting for her to wake up and hopefully prove me wrong on what I assumed had happened. I was willing to give her the benefit of doubt since I came here to apologize, but I couldn't help but to assume the worst.

The boy began to shake her gently, I respected that he treated her well. "Babe, I need you to wake up…" he looked back at me looking terrified. I honestly did feel bad for putting him in this situation because he did seem like a good guy, but I cared much more about talking to my daughter.

"Butch, shut the fuck up! I'm tryna sleep!" I flinched at her profanity, even though I knew she used it didn't mean I had to like it. "Buttercup, try not to cuss right now.." I really did appreciate his effort and I found myself starting to like Butch. "Since when have you fucking cared asshole? I'm trying to fucking sleep! Now leave me the fuck alone!" His head jerked to me looking apologetic, and even though I didn't approve of her word choice, the situation was kinda funny.

Butch looked so panicked and stressed so I decided to help him out with my most difficult daughter. "You know, Buttercup, he is giving you some pretty solid advice." That was the fastest I had ever seen her wake up. She jerked up in a panic and fell of the couch. "PROFESSOR THIS ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE! WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" I was glad to know she was smart enough to know her position, but I was also ready to hear this explanation.

"Calm down Buttercup, I'll listen, but I do want to hear this explanation…"

Buttercup's POV

I sighed with relief, I didn't regret anything, but I didn't want the professor to disown me. "Ok so I came here after leaving the house because that's where I said I would be, but I felt really lonely so I texted Butch and asked him to come over. He, being the good boyfriend he is, actually came over to keep me company. For the first few hours we just laughed at each other, but that got kinda old after a while, so we started to look for a movie to watch. He couldn't really decide on one, so we agreed to marathon 'The Office', but a few episodes into the third season, I guess I fell asleep on him and he just stayed there and let me sleep. I wasn't conscious so I'm not really sure how long it was until you came in, and now we are here." I smiled as innocently as possible, hoping the professor would accept my story. I left the kissing part out for obvious reasons, but everything else was true!

The professor looked critically at both of us, as if he was judging for himself what happened. "Are you sure that's all?" I didn't want to lie to him or he would think I was hiding something. I growled quietly. "We didn't have sex if that's what you're asking. I'm still a virgin dad." He looked relieved, meaning he believed me, thank god.

"Look sweetie, can you come home? I'm sorry, I really didn't mean what I said, I just want what's best for you… I talked to Blossom and she won't be on your back so much either. I'll give you more freedom, just please come home, we miss you." I looked at him, thinking of turning down his offer, but Butch whispered in my ear, "Go home babe. Take it from me, family is important, don't give yours up over something so petty." That was all it took for me to realize the horrible decision I almost made. They were only worried about me, and I was about to leave them for it.

"Ok, dad, I'll come home… bye Butch, see you tomorrow." I turned around and kissed him on the cheek, respecting the fact that the professor was standing right there. Butch returned the gesture, "see ya tomorrow, BC." With that, he went back to his house and I locked the door behind me.

"So how did you like Butch?" After a while of awkward silence, I had to say something. To my surprise, he wasn't upset about the question. "I actually liked him Buttercup, I'll give you the thumbs up on that one… though I don't want you going too crazy, I'm not ready for you to grow up that soon." The last part made me flush. "DAD! I'm not gonna do THAT!" He laughed at my reaction. "It's nice to have you back sweetie."

We got in the car and we talked about what happened while I was gone. I told him about how I saved a few people while I was 'dead'. He seemed a bit surprised, but he was happy that I was the same old Buttercup, still kicking ass when I'm supposed to be dead.

It was about a 2 hour drive from Countysville, so an hour later, we were still in the car, but upon entering Townsville, we saw a large building being destroyed! "Gotta go, dad!" With that, I teleported to the problem, well in the problem, I had to get those people out.

I started with the higher levels, they wouldn't be able to get out. "EVERYONE GET AS CLOSE TOGETHER AS POSSIBLE!" The didn't question my authority and gathered in a large group. I started teleporting people out by the tens, and in about 10 minutes, the top floor was vacated. I moved down each floor, teleporting people out of harm's way, but there were so many and I was running out of energy. Blossom and Bubbles finally showed up and started holding off the monster, who was a giant red reptilian creature with dangerously sharp claws. I was on my fourth level when the ceiling started to collapse. The group of people broke up to avoid the ceiling. I started to panic, thinking I wouldn't be able to get everyone out in time. I kicked my flying into high gear and started picking up and teleporting anyone I could at high speed, I was always the fastest after all. I went back to the floor for the seventh time and I was starting to feel myself wear out, but there were still so many people screaming! And there were still people downstairs who couldn't get out! After about six more trips, the floor was cleared, but I had another floor to evacuate. I flew down the steps and looked in frustration as the roof started to cave from the weight on the floor above. I grabbed as many people as possible before they all scattered. After putting them down, I teleported back up to the floor. I was terrified to find that I could barely make it back to the floor without passing out. I started flying everyone to safety, which took longer, but less energy. I looked up to see if Bubbles or Blossom could help, but it was obvious both of them were needed to hold off the monster, and it seemed to be taking its toll on them too. There was only a few left, I could handle this.

I took around three more trips and almost passed out from exhaustion. I was about to lay down, but I heard a little kid crying with my super hearing. I turned around to the crowd. "DID ANYONE HAVE A KID WITH THEM?" Instantly, I heard a mother scream and yell, "MOLLY'S MISSING! WE WERE IN THE 4TH FLOOR!"

Without a response I found whatever remaining strength I had to fly back up to the floor I was just on. I listened in to track where the sound was coming from, and it was from a bathroom, but the door was blocked by large pieces of the building. I started pulling away the wall fragments, which might I add were HEAVY, when the building started to shake again. I took my chances and teleported into the bathroom and grabbed the little girl and tried to teleport out, but my powers failed me. Fuck, this can't be happening! I tried to punch down the door, but remembered everything that was blocking it.

I looked at the scared little girl and explained to her what was going to have to happen. "Look, I need you to pay attention to me sweetie. I can't get us outta here right now, but you're gonna be fine. Just stay close to me and I won't let anything hurt you." She nodded and I sighed in relief that she wouldn't run off.

I looked towards the ceiling, which was ready to give at any moment and hugged the girl close so nothing could hit her. I guess the monster hit the building because I heard a bunch of screams and everything started falling apart. I kept the girl underneath of me, the ceiling wouldn't hurt me nearly as much as it would hurt her. The ceiling started to collapse and I felt everything that fell on top of me. I didn't want to scare the girl even more so I clenched my teeth trying to ignore the pain, but it was too much to ignore when a rather large and heavy piece of the wall crashed into my arm, snapping it and bending it the other way. I wasn't proud of it, but I screamed in agony. I had never broken a bone before, but it hurt like hell!

"Are you ok?" The little girl sounded like she was about to cry. I held in my tears and lied through my teeth, "Just fine, sweetheart, don't worry about me…" she looked doubtful, but I flashed a fake smile that seemed to fool her. I focused on staying awake, knowing if I didn't she would get crushed by everything. Including me.

It felt like hours before everything stopped falling. I knew I couldn't talk, the pain in my back and my arm was closing off my throat, so there was no way of calling for help since the girl was obviously too scared to make a sound. I don't know what I looked like, but it must've been pretty scary if she couldn't talk.

I felt some of my power come back and used it to my advantage. "Grab my good arm" I was only able to get it loud enough for her to hear. The girl complied and I teleported us to a safe, clear area in the destroyed bathroom, which luckily had no walls, so we could walk out. Without everything on top of me, I was able to relax, kinda. I still couldn't show this girl how much pain I was in right now, we were still in danger.

I shakily stood up and picked her up with my good arm and let the other one hang in it new awkward position. A surge of pain shot through my body with every step I took, but I managed to walk down the four flights of stairs. I started to feel something wet run down my face, which I assumed was sweat from holding back screams, but I could see the color red out of the corner of my eye. Weird, I didn't even feel that one… I took my time, but when we got to the door, I put her down and forced them open. There was the girl's mother screaming and crying on the ground and my sisters were by her trying to find out what was going on. Everyone else went silent, I wonder why.

Blossom's POV

After defeating the monster, we rushed down to make sure everyone who Buttercup saved was ok. When we reached them though, a lady started screaming and crying. Bubbles and I tried to calm her down so we could comprehend what she was saying, but we couldn't get her to stop crying. Then something weird happened, everyone who was once screaming went silent, as well as the lady we tried so hard to calm down.

"MOLLY!" She got up and ran over to the building and I turned around to see what she was doing. I froze as I saw the lady pick up a little girl, who surprisingly looked unscathed for surviving a collapsing building. However, I understood when I looked to her left to see my sister, face covered in her own blood, her right arm at a disturbing angle, looking as if she was holding in a scream.

"Oh my god…" Bubbles looked like she was going to throw up, and I felt the same. How could anyone have ever doubted that she was a great hero, how could I have doubted that? She started to shakily walk towards us. "The professor said to come home after I was done, but I used all my energy, can I hitch a ride with one of you?" Buttercup asked as if there was nothing wrong with her. "Where can I pick you up so it doesn't hurt?" I honestly wanted to make sure I didn't hurt her more.

She started to laugh which surprised me. "Everywhere hurts so it wouldn't really matter! Umm… just try to avoid the arm." I picked her up by the waist and was ready to take off when the little girl ran up to Buttercup and hugged her legs. "Thank you for saving me!" I couldn't see Buttercup's face but I knew she was smiling. "It's no problem kiddo, just try to keep out of crumbling buildings! I gotta go now, stay safe kid!"

With that I took off and Bubbles followed. It only took about five minutes to get home, and when we did, the Professor ran up to us having seen the news.

Professor's POV

I was watching the news, proud that my girls had once again saved the day, but one thing bothered me, only Blossom and Bubbles were on the screen trying to calm down a lady, but I didn't see Buttercup. I started to get worried, she was usually the first one to get in the camera. Suddenly, everyone of the people went quiet, including the reporter, who motioned for the reporter to turn the camera in the direction of the building. I was shocked with what I saw, my toughest daughter covered in bruises, her arm clearly broken terribly and her face was covered in her own blood because of a large cut on her forehead. I ran down to the lab and got everything prepared for when she got back. I grabbed a few chemical X shots, bandages, and the materials for an orthopedic cast, she was going to need one.

It wasn't too long before they burst through the door, Blossom holding Buttercup up, she looked worse in person. There was more blood than I thought, her arm looked worse, and the cuts were a lot deeper than I had suspected. "Hey dad, mind giving me a hand?" I was surprised she could talk, but I led them down to the lab and Blossom put her on the bed I had for these kinds of situations.

The first thing I did was clean all the blood and plaster off of her, since it made her look worse than she actually was. I decided to deal with her arm last, since I knew she would give me hell for it. I started to bandage all of the cuts and I decided she might need stitches for the cut on her forehead, it was too big for bandages.

I walked over to my medical desk and grabbed a needle and nylon stitches. "Buttercup this might hurt a little."

She looked up at me and shrugged, and somehow I wasn't surprised. She didn't make a sound as a did the stitches, but I did feel her jaw clench. I was always amazed at how tough she really was. "Ok it's over." I heard her let out the breath she had been holding.

Blossom and Bubbles stared at her in awe at how she could take pain so well. "Next?" I was hoping she wouldn't ask that because next was her arm, which I was trying to avoid. I had never dealt with a broken bone, much less one as severe as hers. "I'm not sure how I'm gonna fix your arm, but I need to get it into the right spot before giving you a chemical X shot…" she looked impatient, "Just hurry up and snap it back in place! It can't be that hard!" I was saved by the doorbell, which started ringing off the hook. "I'll get it!" I responded too eagerly for Buttercup's liking because she scowled and glared at me. I ran up to the door and was surprised to see Butch standing there out of breath. "I saw the news, how is she doing?"

I smiled at his faithfulness and let him in the house. "She's downstairs if you want to see her." Before he could move to go downstairs, we heard Buttercup scream, "BLOSSOM JUST SNAP IT BACK IN PLACE! THE PROFESSOR WON'T, BUBBLES WON'T, SO YOU HAVE TO OR I'LL DO IT MYSELF!" Butch looked panicked and I'm sure I did too and we both ran downstairs to see Buttercup about to snap her own arm back in place.

I ran over to her and stopped her since it would only cause more problems. She looked up in anger, but it faded when she saw who came down with me. "Butch! What are you doing here?" He smiled at her and kissed her cheek. "I saw the news and wanted to make sure you were ok…"

Bubbles and Blossom squealed in happiness and I just felt content that he was treating her right.

Buttercup POV

"Babe I think it's best if you get that checked by a professional." Butch was always able to talk sense into me, I didn't know why, but he just had that effect to him. "Ok…" The professor looked shocked at Butch's ability to do the impossible again, change my mind.

He led my to the car and opened the door to the front seat and buckled me in and got in the back seat. The professor got in the driver seat giving Butch a thankful glance. Butch held my good hand the whole ride, which was only ten minutes, but I was glad that I had any time to touch him. Ugh why am I thinking so sappy?! Gross! He ran out of the car and opened the door for me, but didn't need to unbuckle me since I took care of that myself. He walked me to the building with the professor leading the way.

When we got in the building, the people at the check in desk screamed at the sight of my arm. "Yeah, I might need a doctor for this, so can you check me in?" They nodded and checked me in as quick as possible. The wait wasn't too long for an emergency room so I was in a room with a doctor in a little less than an hour. I was a little agitated when the doctor walked in and flinched at the sight. "Can you fix this?" I had to ask him to snap him out of his daze. "I can get a few more doctors in here to snap it back in place, or we could perform surgery on it, your choice." I saw the professor start to answer but I chose before he could say anything. "Snap it back in, I just wanna get outta here!"

The doctor looked shocked as if he was expecting a different answer, but went to get the other doctors. The professor gave me a look that I could tell meant he was going to go for the other option.

It was only about five minutes until the doctor came back in with three extra doctors and got to work instantly. I grabbed Butch's hand with my only good one, actually kind nervous about how it would feel. One doctor put his hand on the inside of my elbow and the other two put it on the back and the left side of it since it was snapped to the right. I looked over to Butch, knowing it would hurt more if I watched it. I felt the doctor grab my forearm and prepared myself. Right as the doctor snapped it back, Butch kissed me, probably to try to distract me from the pain, but I could definitely feel it. I squeezed his hand and kissed him harder, trying to feel anything except the pain in my arm. I pulled away from him after they were done and smiled my thanks at him.

"Can I have my chemical X shot now, dad?" He looked at me with sympathy and gave it to me. I felt the relief as everything started to heal. "You're still going to need a cast for that arm." The doctors had the stuff to make a cast and I looked around for an escape route. "Buttercup, they're right…" There Butch goes again making me do what he tells me. "Fine…" I sigh and let them put the cast on my arm. At least I didn't need it to play soccer…

About an hour later, I walked out of the hospital in almost perfect health with only a green cast and stitches on my forehead.

I got back home and Butch said he had to leave since it was so late. I gave him an innocent goodbye kiss on the lips, the professor knew we were dating, it's not like I was making out with him. After he left, I went upstairs to wash my face and brush my teeth. I put on a pair of fuzzy green pajama pants, a black tank top, and pulled my hair up into a messy bun. I dragged myself over to my bed, realizing just how long today was and fell asleep instantly after I pulled the thick blankets up to my chin. At least things were going back to normal…

AN: This felt like a long chapter… I put a lot of Butchercup in this chapter and a little more conflict, sorry but I love conflict for some reason… anyways, thanks for reading and please review!
