A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed.

To answer Canzie's question, I stopped writing the boys POV because 1) I'm really impatient, I want to get more into the story and writing each chapter twice is slowing me down. 2) It's hard to keep some things a secret when I write from the boys POV. 3) I tried to write it so each could be read separately, but I realized that they are really meant to be read together, so it's easier to just keep it in one story.

For those of you that are reading the boys POV, I wrote chapters 8 and 9, but I won't post it until the secrets that they spoil are told in this story. :)

-Sidewalk-

The Professor rushed home, trying not to regret what he just did.

It was for the good of the girls, he reminded himself. The chemical X was ordered and on its way to the house. He would be able to resume his experiments and find a way to save his girls.

I had to do it, he told himself. There was no other way.

He still hadn't quite convinced himself it was worth it by the time he got home. The sun was almost gone and he could hear noises coming from upstairs, meaning the girls were home. Bubbles came rushing from the kitchen.

"Dad, you're home!" Bubbles squealed. "I made your favorite, lasagna!" The Professor smiled. He was about to thank Bubbles when he heard a voice calling from upstairs.

"I'm probably too grounded to eat lasagna."

"Buttercup!" Blossom yelled at her sister.

The professor laughed to himself. Yes, he decided, it was well worth it.

-Chuck-E-Cheese's-

Brick and Boomer stood outside Chuck-E-Cheese's, waiting for Butch to come out.

"Remind me why he would be here? I mean, this place has been closed for years, not to mention it's a little kid play place." Boomer asked his brother. Brick, tired of waiting for Butch decided to go in, showing Boomer what was really inside this old run down Chuck-E-Cheese's.

Brick opened the door to a small room with only a large guy sitting in a chair holding a gun. The guy stood up and without a word lifted the leg of Brick's jeans to reveal the black and blue snake tattoo they were all forced to get years ago. Brick stood there as if he had done this many times. Boomer was confused, but did what Brick did and allowed the man to have a look at his tattoo. The guy seemed satisfied and opened a heavy steel door for them.

Inside looked like a bar. There were guys everywhere, some playing pool, others playing what looked like poker, but most were drinking at the bar or eating at a table. The place was poorly lit and stunk of a mixture of tobacco and weed smoke.

"Who was that guy? What is this place? How do you and Butch know about this?" Boomer was full of questions, but Brick ignored him. He was focused on finding Butch. Brick couldn't see much behind the bar that was located in the center of the room. He began walking around it when someone clapped him on the back.

"Look who we have here." The guy smiled, his yellow teeth seemed to glow against his dark skin. "It's the rest of the wonder brothers. Has the fearless leader come to get the naughty run away?" The man laughed, it was echoed by the four guys standing behind him. They looked like copies of the first guy, all with shoulder length black hair and dark eyes. Brick had been hoping to avoid Gid and his "brothers" as he liked to call them.

"Who is this guy?" Boomer asked Brick hoping to get an answer to at least one of his questions.

Gid looked offended and decided to answer Boomer's question. "I'm surprised you haven't heard stories of the great Gid and his brothers. I supposed being the stupid one, you wouldn't understand." Gid laughed again, signaling the others to laugh with him. Boomer clenched his fists, wanting badly to hit this guy.

"We don't have time for this Gid," Brick said, trying to avoid what was sure to happen next. Gid was clearly drunk and although Boomer was slower to fight than Butch or himself, it was hard to keep your temper around a guy like him.

"You're not running away that easily. You all think you're so special because you get all the high paying jobs while the rest of us are stuck with crap. I bet none of you have ever kidnapped a girl or even sold a bag of weed." Gid pointed at Brick while leaning heavily on one of his "brothers."

"What is he talking about?" Boomer asked. It seemed like there was a whole other world that Brick and Butch were involved in that they kept secret from him.

Out of nowhere it seemed Gid was on the floor. "Look at you tripping over yourself. You're drunk, go home." Butch looked down at the man.

"You p…pushed me," Gid stammered, struggling to get to his feet. Butch already started walking away, followed by Boomer than Brick.

"Wait," Gid stopped Brick before he got to the door. "I have an interesting proposal for you."

"I think you've said enough."

"You'll want to hear this one."

-Utonium home-

Buttercup was washing the dishes from dinner when she heard a knock at the door. She waited a while, but no one moved to answer it. She sighed, while drying her hands. "What am I, the maid?" she asked loud enough for everyone to hear.

Buttercup opened the door and was surprised to see two police officers standing there, a man and a woman. "There is something important we need to discuss with you and your sisters. May we come in?" It was the woman who spoke; she seemed kind, reminding Buttercup of Miss Belum. She motions for them to sit on the couch.

Blossom and Bubbles heard the officer from their rooms and came downstairs.

"What's going on? Are we in trouble?" Blossom asked.

"Can I get you two anything to drink?" Bubbles asked kindly.

After Bubbles returned with some waters the male officer began to speak.

"We know who you three are."

"What are you talking abou…" Blossom began, but was interrupted by the man.

"Please don't deny it. We got this information from a very reliable source."

"So, you're going to tell the news and make us leave?" Buttercup asked.

"Not at all," the woman said in an airy voice. "We have no intention of telling anyone. We will keep your identities secret as long as you agree to work with us."

"Can't your police officers handle the crime?" Buttercup asked rudely.

"If it wasn't for Black and Blue, there would be no problems." The man clenched his jaw as he replied to Buttercup.

"Who are Black and Blue?" Bubbles asked.

"They are the leaders of the gang that treats South Pokai like it's theirs. Somehow they have managed to keep almost every member out of jail."

Bubbles gasped. Although they lived and went to school in North Pokai, it still bothered her that there were really dangerous criminals running lose all over the place?

The woman noticed Bubbles' concern. "With your help, we can get them off the streets and into jail where they belong."

"Let's do it girls. We can be a huge help." Blossom couldn't resist helping bring justice to a town.

"Yay," Bubbles shouted.

Buttercup rolled her eyes and silently agreed.

"I already have your outfit Buttercup," Bubbles said zooming upstairs and quickly returning with a green fairy outfit that matched Blossom's and her own.

Buttercup laughed. "You must be crazy of you think I'm going to wear that."

"It would be better if you all matched," commented the woman giggling to herself. Buttercup glared at her.

"I'm not wearing it," Buttercup said defiantly.

"I really must insist you do. There are actually a few crimes you all could help us out with tonight," The man spoke up.

"Let's change!" Bubbles squealed as she and Blossom went upstairs followed reluctantly by Buttercup. They quickly returned, Buttercup coming back last. Under her outfit she had on black skinny jeans. She painted her green mask black and wore a black arm band. It was as close as she could get to being comfortable in that outfit.

Blossom smiled; at least she had the outfit on. "Let's go," she said.

-Sidewalk-

"Explain," Boomer demanded of Butch when they got outside.

"Why did Brick bring you?" Butch asked. He and Brick had agreed not to get Boomer too involved with the activities of the gang. Boomer became frustrated. It seemed that all they did was avoid his questions.

"I'm sick of you two treating me like I'm still five. I'm almost fifteen, the same age as the both of you. Why won't you tell me anything?" Butch subconsciously tensed when Boomer said fifteen.

"Fine, you really want to know? You, little brother, are a part of the largest gang in South Pokai. We aren't the only people who work for Black and Blue. There are about 60 of us, I know about. While we mostly beat people up and steal things, there are some members that sell drugs and others that sell people. That place just now, is where a lot of us go to hang out or to hide from the cops. It's actually been the same place for years. It's pretty sad the cops don't know about it yet." Butch stopped walking, waiting for Boomer's reaction and for Brick to join them. Boomer was shocked by the news. He was a part of a gang that sold people? It was too much to believe.

"How long have you two known?" Boomer asked. Butch leaned on a nearby wall, knowing this conversation might take a while.

"I found out when I was ten. Brick found out two years ago."

"Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"Did you really want to know? Is that what you want to tell Bubbles?" Boomer looked at Butch confused. "It was pretty obvious after you caught her last night."

Boomer blushed; of course everyone would assume he liked her after that. He sighed, leaning on the wall next to Butch.

"Why don't we just stop? Quit the gang and live like normal boys?" Boomer didn't want to have anything to do with what the gang was doing.

Butch laughed. If it were that easy they would have stopped a long time ago. "What about the apartment. The monkey isn't helping pay the rent."

"We could get normal jobs."

"Yeah, I'm sure the jobs out there for fourteen year olds will give us enough to pay," Butch said sarcastically. "Besides, I don't know if you forgot, but we aren't normal."

Boomer was silent. He knew Butch was right. As much as he liked to think Mojo was a father to them, he was barely there. The only other option was some orphanage. He knew Butch would never go for something like that.

"As soon as we're old enough to get real jobs, we'll quit right?" Boomer asked Butch as Brick walked up to them.

"Right," Butch said, knowing he was lying.
