Butch~

I landed hard across the field, ruining all of the work Buttercup and I had just done. I stood too late as she rushed me and tackled me to the ground once more. Punch after punch connected with my face and rage was forming deep in my chest. I got my legs under her and kicked her hard into the air. She spun for a few miles before finally floating. I quickly soared up to her to avoid a kamikaze style counter attack that we were so infamous for. She swung but I countered, bashing my fist into her soft lips. Blood splattered as her lip gave way. She snarled and brought her hand to her lip. It must have been a long time since she fought someone who was worth a challenge. She glared at me and swung hard but I blocked just in time. The sound barrier broke around us as we exchanged fists. I caught her fist and yanked her towards me. I smashed my forehead into hers and watched the blood drip down into her eyes. She twisted out of my grip and pushed herself away from me. Both of us accessing the other, trying to remember the fighting style that was always used. Which was brute force, I guess old habits die hard. I lunged just as she was about to swing and gave her a sharp upper cut. I could see the bruise forming under her chin, I smirked it had been a long time since I could actually hit someone and not worry about killing them. My smirk changed to a grimace as she hammered her clasped hands into the top of my head, sending me straight into the Earth. She was on top of me in a second. Her toned ass digging into my pelvis as she fought for power. She pinned my arms and legs down and returned the head butt. Hard enough it caused my vision to blur at the sides. This time I laughed aloud.

"This is the thanks I get for helping you?" I laughed, while flipping her onto her back.

"This is how you pin someone properly." I growled in her ear while holding both her hands in one of mine. I looked down at her, her face was covered in a mix of dirt and blood. I wiped the blood from her forehead while her jade eyes bored holes into me. Funny how in this moment all I wanted to do was kiss her.

"I never asked for your fucking help." She snarled, thrashing under my weight. I pushed my hips harder on hers and slammed her hands down again. I pressed my forehead into hers before finally giving up. This was a never ending fight that I didn't have the energy to handle. I already had to meet up with moody Brick today I couldn't handle temperamental too stubborn to listen to shit Buttercup too. I could see Mr. Hockaday's old pick up was headed our way I saved him the trouble and met him half way. He exited the rusty truck with a grimace. He removed his hat to better see his new crater of a field.

"I'm so sorry, I swear I will have this fixed by tomorrow. Right now I have an appointment with my brothers." I said bowing to him. He gripped my shoulder tightly.

"Son there is one thing you need out of life and that's a woman who can both support you and challenge you." His voice was strong as he eyes lingered on the distance, "I know you and your spit fire have a lot to work out."

I furrowed my brow for a moment. Who the hell told Mr. Hockaday that Buttercup and I had a falling out? I sure as hell didn't. When I had finally made it to the café I was too caught up in how Buttercup had said "I didn't ask for your fucking help." As if I was some fucking scum bag. Brick going on and on about moving and how shitty the puffs were sent me over the edge. Bubbles was cool and Buttercup well…

I lead Brick out of town because I was going to murder him, or get as close to it as I could. I needed to be able to let go but I couldn't believe how sloppy he had become.

Brick's deep red eyes were boring into me but all I could do was smirk.

"You sure are slow." I laughed as I came behind him, locking him in a headlock. At one point I was only scared of Brick, then I noticed what his weakness was. He had two of them, one of them used to be a red head. Brick squirmed and I let him got to face me. His face was as red as his eyes as he gasped for air. He lunged at me but a black blur came in between us.

"Let's finish what we started earlier huh Butchie." Buttercup had said my nick name how all the girls in the bar did. Sweet and a little sexy. It made me growl, I could practically see the sarcasm in the air.

"Sorry Brick." She said as she clasped him by the shoulders, spun with him and flung him into the street below. Boomer tried to come from below with an upper cut to Buttercup. She dodged quickly and grabbed him by the wrist, spun again and flung Boomer straight into me. I caught Booms and threw him aside, not caring how hard the ground shook as he landed. An abandoned building fell in the distance. Buttercup and I locked eyes and lunged for each other.

Bubbles~

Boomer was getting abused today. He landed into another crater and got up to chase Brick now that Butch was occupied. I panicked and looked to Blossom for answers it had been years since we had a real fight on our hands. I don't know that I even remember how to read someone's attacks. Buttercup taught me ages ago. Blossom stood horrified for a moment, probably trying to figure out a plan to keep the collateral damage to minimum or trying to remember how to command us. She stood rigid until an idea hit her.

"Bubbles, Try to get Boomer to calm down so he can help you talk to Butch and Buttercup. I'll handle Brick." She said launching herself into the air after the long red headed boy. Boomer and Brick were exchanging punches but from the looks of it Boomer was losing. I bit my lip before swooping up into the air as well.

I wrapped my arms around Boomer's muscular shoulders just before he got to Brick. Blossom had flown right in front of Brick to begin an argument.

"Not now Bubbles." He growled slipping free of my grip.

"Wait!" I squealed, his eyes still fixated on the eldest ruff.

"No you don't know what he is doing!" Boomer yelled, pointing to his brother, "You never have Bubbles. You never notice anything, too fucking naïve."

I felt my gut clench and my heart drop into my stomach. There was that word again, naïve, as if I wasn't on the cusp of turning 23. My body acted before my brain could think and I punched Boomer square in the nose. I now knew how Buttercup felt sometimes, just somethings you couldn't let go.

"Was I too naïve when my lips were around your dick?" I growled, lurching toward him. I landed another punch as Boomer floating backwards in shock. I grabbed onto his shoulders and started to nose dive with him.

"Was I too naïve to fuck you?" I yelled, my voice rasp from emotion, "You always think I'm some stupid little girl with no idea how the world works. I know Boomer, I know how shitty this place can be!"

I pinned his arms down and started to unload punches. It felt a little good to feel pain I my knuckles as it contacted with bone, it felt a little freeing. I could totally get behind this, at least for now I had a mean streak in me. I stopped for a moment to catch my breath and look at the work I had done. Boomer's nose was off kilter and his left eye was already swollen shut. I felt guilt spread through my veins like fire, burning a hole into my heart. My eyes stung as I stared into Boomer's and finally I fell apart. I sobbed and sobbed while Boomer slowly made his way from under me. He sat beside me, wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me to him.

"I'm sorry…." I hiccupped but he sat in silence for a while.

"No, I'm sorry Bubbles. I really need to stop treating you like we're 15 again." He said softly as he stared up at his brothers, "Shit all of this happened because I had to open my big mouth."

Blossom~

I could hear Bubbles doing the EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT I TOLD HER. She was currently fighting Boomer and not talking to him. I pinched the bridge of my nose as the sound barrier breaking behind me furthered my headache.

"I don't know why you are here! I had it all under control!" Bricked yelled.

"Oh yea really under control from what I have seen. What did you do back there about a billion or so dollars in damage to the streets alone? Not to mention the private property and this section of the city here!" I shouted back, "It's in shambles."

"It's all fine. We have the money to cover it! This is controlled no one is over here!"

"Not yet! The media already has some cell phone video of you, an employee at Townsville Bank and Trust, going ape shit on his brother. HIS OWN BROTHER!" I shouted, pointing to the vans headed this way, "They are going to eat this story up. Control you brothers or I will."

Brick's laugh echoed off of the buildings below.

"Hah look at your sisters! What are they doing Blossom? Hell Buttercup was the one who attacked all three Ruffs and is still engaged in combat." He retorted, eyes on the green wrecking balls. I followed his eyes to see Butch send Buttercup into the nearest building, then flying after her fist raised. I turned away after hearing the impact of his fist. This was not good at all.

"Whatever happened…" I started but then stopped this conversation wasn't worth my time, "Just help me separate Butch and Buttercup."

Brick stared at me for a long moment, there was something dark behind his eyes.

"Why should I listen to you? You're 22 and still wear a pink bow." He snarled.

"What the hell does that have to do with anything? Red baseball cap."

He closed the distance between us and then sucker punched me. My vision crossed for a moment and I started to taste blood. I spit it out and wiped my mouth. It had been a long time since I had fought anyone. I sent a round house kick his way but he dodged it, he grabbed my ankle and tried to send me sailing. I recovered quickly after a few spins and used the momentum to slam my fist into his face.

"Just returning the favor." I growled as I brought my fist to his mouth.

We exchanged fists and kicks for a long time. Later I would find out that it was long enough for all six of us to be caught on fighting on film. Brick slammed me into the wall of the nearest building, his grip tight on my throat. His red eyes bored into mine for too long, I was starting to notice something change in them. My heart beat quickened as I began to recognize the Brick I used to know. Gentle, curious, but most of all kind. He leaned in slowly and his lips slightly pursed.

But then his eyes changed back to this new Brick and he pushed me through the wall. I watched him as he ripped Butch off of Buttercup and dragged him away.

"Come on Boomer." Brick growled as he flew into the horizon.
