A/N: Come on, guys! Pretty pleeease review! All those hits—I'll take "good story", for Lord's sake! And for those of you who think you can't comment without an account, don't worry—you can! Sorry about being pushy, though…I'm review crazy.

Butch's POV
What the heck just happened?

I lay on the floor of the trashed arcade, my face bruised, my skin torn, and my body beaten to a pulp. Shattered glass dug into my back, and there was blood covering my clothes-a very rare sight, because it was so difficult to make someone with Chemical X bleed. I could barely move, but slowly I brought myself into a sitting position, groaning in pain.

I could barely register what had happened in the last ten minutes. I held my head in my hands, trying to remember. Brick and Boomer had gotten up to use the bathroom...Princess had sauntered over and made a move on me before I knew it...BC was in the theater...and she must've gotten the wrong idea about what happened, because here I was, lying on the floor in agony, police tape surrounding the Arcade.

I gazed up and saw a blond-haired boy and a red-haired boy jog past the Arcade and recognized them as my brothers. "Brick! Boomer!" I moaned loudly, catching their attention. They both backtracked and peered in the dark arcade.

"Dude..."Boomer said, looking me up and down.

"Butch, what happened?" Brick demanded, an angry look materializing on his face. Since we'd decided to change to the Good Side, Brick wanted us to lay low-that meant no stealing, no destroying the city, and absolutely, positively, never ever forever amen, NO FIGHTING.

And this definitely counted as two out of those three.

"Well, remember when you guys went to the bathroom?"

"Yeah...?" Brick and Boomer said. Brick was getting antsy. Boomer just looked worried as he continued to examine my wounds.

"Well…," I said mumbled quickly, hoping that Brick didn't hear.

Of course he understood me. "She did WHAT and BC saw?" I rolled my eyes and prepared for a speech. "Butch, how could you be such an idiot? You have superhuman powers, for God's sake! GET UP AND THROW THE GIRL ACROSS THE D… THEATER!"

Brick took one look at my sarcastic expression and slapped me across the face. "What the h-"

"Listen! You better hurry up and explain what happened to Buttercup or else I swear I'll-"

"Oh, shut up, Brick! It's not like you've never screwed up with Blossom! You can't get anything but straight A-freakin'-pluses cause of your little nerd love-"

"At least we didn't both flunk out of the third grade like you and BC probably-"

"GUYS!" Boomer interjected, startling Brick and I. He never yelled at anybody, but he hated seeing us fight almost as much as Bubbles hated watching her sisters fight.

"I think the thing your forgetting is that when you mess with one Utonium..."

Boomer's face fell. Brick and I glanced at each other, looks of realization appearing on our faces.

"...you mess with them all."
