REVEIW! XD
"God, will you hurry the hell up?"
Brick's voice growled from the other side of the bathroom door. Blossom was currently inside, brushing and re-brushing her hair. She huffed, and her bangs flew out of her face. She looked into the mirror. An irritated girl scowled back at her.
"I'll be out in a minute." She said through clenched teeth, wanting nothing more than to break down the door and strangle her counterpart right then and there.
Brick had been stressed out the past couple of hours, and it had began to rub off on Blossom. They had their first mission today; to retrieve the weapons Butch and Buttercup failed to take from the Gangreen Gang. Problem was, that's not who the reds would be dealing with; they'd be dealing with Princess Morbucks now, the one whom the illegal weapons were addressed to.
Blossom sighed and gripped the sink's counter, looking back to her reflection. Her eyebrows creased in worry.
She hadn't dealt with Princess in years. The last time the girls encountered was in the 9th grade. Princess had been shipped off to a remote country for military school after she had tried to kill Blossom and her sisters yet again, but that time she was actually close to succeeding. Her father had apparently had enough of her 'humiliating the family name' and cut off all allowances. Looking back, Blossom should have figured Princess would be shipped somewhere like Paris.
She should have also realized something like this would happen-all the villains coming together-but of course, she didn't. She had always lived in her little bubble world, where everything was overall safe, and any problem could be easily solved by the Powerpuff girls, and the Powerpuff girls alone. They had super-powers, after all.
"You said that 10 minutes ago!" Brick's aggravated voice boomed from the other side of the door.
Boy, how that blew up in her face.
She didn't answer right away, gathering all of her things together and taking one last glance in the mirror. She wore all black; black pants, black skin-tight hoodie-which was currently covering most of her head-and all open skin areas painted black. Her pink eyes stood out against the darkness, making her look enticing, yet dangerous.
"You do realize that I can just bust down the door, right?" Brick yelled from the other side half-joking, half-serious. Blossom rolled her eyes and opened the door.
Brick stood on the other side in similar attire to Blossom, except his clothes were well, baggier. He stood with his arms crossed impatiently, his hood up and a black duffel bag hanging off his shoulder. His red eyes seemed to glow more prominently in the darkness, giving him a challenging and dangerous aura.
"I fear that you yourself just realized that, Brick." Blossom spoke, her voice equally teasing. Brick chuckled before looking her up and down, his eyes analyzing every detail of her. She felt a little exposed...but, almost in a good way.
Wait, what?
Brick looked back up to Blossom's face, which was now scarlet red. He scoffed. "That took you 30 minutes?"
His tone wasn't meant to offend her, but Blossom still found his words hurtful. What is that exposed to mean? ...And why do I care?
"Whatever, lets just go." She mumbled angrily, storming past him and out the door. He followed after cautiously, confused at her sudden attitude change. He rolled his eyes and mumbled, "Women." before shutting and locking the door behind him.
Outside, the sun was setting, and everyone was walking back to their homes. Brick and Blossom quickly zipped over to the neighboring alley, not wanting to be recognized in such strange attire. They leaned against the brick wall as an old lady walking a dog-who's hair was very similar to her own-strutted down the sidewalk.
"So...?" Blossom asked, for once not knowing the 'game plan'. Brick dropped his bag on the ground, and turned to face her."Okay. What we do now, is we find the shipping docks. You know where they are, right?" He asked. "Yeah, there right near that cafe." She said. He nodded.
"Right. We go there, wait behind the docks. We'll have to be there before they do, so we have to go before it gets dark. We can go from there. Sound good?" He asked, his words urgent. Blossom shrugged.
"Simple enough." She said, nonchalant.
And it was. A half an hour, they hid behind some of the empty crates near the docks. They were heavily concealed; from every angle-even above ground-they were invisible. They both sat on the ground, the duffel bag in between them. Blossom looked toward it.
"So...what is that for?" She asked, hating how she sounded. Like an intrigued 5 year old. Brick shook his head, as if coming out of a daze.
"Huh? Oh, that. It has Antidote X proof cans in it...you know, just in case. But once we have the weapons, we'll store it in there." He said.
"...I know what happened to Buttercup." Blossom stated bluntly. He looked up, a knowing smirk gracing his features.
"I figured...you guys tell each other everything, huh?" Brick asked, his eyebrow raised. Blossom leaned back into the crate. She went over his words in her head. Something about the way he asked sounded almost...worried?
"Um, yeah. Basically. Why?" She asked. He shrugged, his gaze on the floor. "No reason."
A long silence in-sued, and Blossom's gaze returned to the duffel bag.
"Actually..." Brick stated, staring up at the now dimming sky. "We should probably spray it on us now. I don't know how long it takes to kick in."
He unzipped the bag, and out came tons of yellow cans. They all had a, 'HAZARD' sign on them. Brick stood up and grabbed a can. "Now, apparently it has most effect on skin contact so, try your most vulnerable areas." And with that, Brick lifted his shirt and began to spray his chest.
Blossom didn't realize she was staring until he looked over at her questioningly. With a mumbled, "Sorry." She picked up the cans and went to work on her arms, legs, and chest. She felt a power surge, and she shivered with pleasure. Brick smiled.
"Empowering, isn't it?" He asked, a delighted look on his face. Blossom smiled widely. Yeah, it's great."
The two were interrupted by a long, beeping sound. Brick's eyes widened and pushed Blossom down. They lowered themselves back onto the floor, and peaked out of a crack in the crates.
A boat was backing up to the dock, suspicious looking crates on the edge. Soon, two black cars arrived, parking on the outer sides of the dock. Blossom waited to see Princess emerge, or, anyone emerge, but nothing came. The ship creaked with each wave, and the sound of water splashing up against the dock was the only thing heard. Blossom looked over to Brick questioningly. He shrugged, equally confused.
Then, a long black limo came around the corner, the end stopping right in front of the ship. Brick and Blossom rolled their eyes simultaneously.
'Typical Princess', Blossom thought.
Two large, bulky men emerged from the two cars, moving to stand in front of the end of the limo. Two others, not as large, began to unload the crates into the limo's trunk.
"Brick." Blossom hissed, panicking. How where they going to get the crates now? Brick quickly put a hand over her mouth, a stern look directed toward her. He pointed back toward the limo, where the door had just opened, to reveal...Princess Morbucks.
She wore a yellow strapless dress that was- to Blossom's opinion-way too short. Her poofy red hair was pulled to the side, showcasing her gold tiara. She had a fairly large amount of make-up on also, Blossom noticed.
She waltzed onto the dock, hands on her hips. "Well?" Her nasally voice called out to the men.
"All items are secured in the trunk safely, Miss Morbucks." One of the larger men spoke up, his voice booming through out the dock. Princess looked around, seeming unsure.
"...Really? No troubles?" She asked, putting extra emphasis on 'troubles.' The man seemed confused. "No, no troubles. Why? What did you expect, Miss?" Princess seemed disappointed, and continued to look around.
"Its just...There was a certain conflict with the Green...boys..." She said, her voice faltering.
Brick suddenly grabbed Blossom's wrist. She looked up at him, biting back a retort. He put a finger to her lips.
"Beat up the guys, I'll take care of the crates. On the count of three." Brick whispered, letting go of her lips. Blossom nodded, trying to get focused.
"...3..." Brick whispered, getting into a stance.
The man scratched his head, his face twisted in confusion.
"...2..." Blossom whispered, mirroring Brick's actions.
"What kind of trouble?" The man asked.
"...1..." They both whispered, and flew out of their hideout.
"THIS kid of trouble!" Brick yelled, and knocked the man out with a swift kick to the head. Blossom joined in, taking on the three other men coming toward her menacingly. She punched one in the stomach, then the others face. Next she used her roundhouse kick, sending one into a wall far from the dock. She felt her energy serge again, and she sent a series of punches into the remaining two simultaneously. They flew back, hitting the docks hard wood ground. Then, out of no where, more men came out of the cars. Princess smirked in the distance, watching as the men surrounded Blossom. Meanwhile, Brick flew over to the open trunk and took one of the crates into the hideout. No one seemed to notice.
Princess snapped her fingers, and the men stopped walking toward Blossom, creating a perfect circle around her. Princess' heels clacked against the wood as she pranced over, walking through the crowd to Blossom. They stood at the same height, Blossom glaring, Princess smirking.
"Weeelll. If it isn't the Powerpuff leader, Blossom." Princess' voice rang out. Blossom rolled her eyes. In the distance, she watched as Brick took a second crate.
"Hello, Princess." Blossom faked a smile. Princess scoffed. "Cut the crap, Powderpuff. I don't like you, you don't like me. Let's not pretend." She said, crossing her arms.
Blossom shrugged. "Fair enough."
Princess sneered. "I knew you girls were behind this. But, this time, I was smarter." In the distance, Brick took the last crate. Blossom almost laughed at the irony. Instead, she smirked.
"Oh?" She asked.
"Yes. And now, your going down. Say hello, to Antidote X!" She screeched. And with that, the men took out guns and began to shoot Blossom. She flew into the air, still weary about the chemical. They continued to shoot, and she continued to dodge.
"Don't fight it Blossom! You don't have a chance!" Princess screamed into the air.
Suddenly, a streak of red zipped through the air. Brick blasted an energy beam toward the men, bringing them all to the ground. Wow, he must have sprayed a lot of that stuff. Blossom thought. Brick landed in front of Princess, a smug smirk on his face.
"Oh, won't she?" He asked, his smirk deepening. Blossom smiled and flew down to stand beside him. Princess widened her eyes.
"Brick! I-If I knew you were coming, I would have dressed better." She said, fluttering her eyelashes toward him. Brick scoffed.
"Princess, don't flatter yourself." He said. His face scrunched up as if she just offered him pig feet.
She pouted playfully, before looking from Brick to Blossom. Her eyes widened in realization.
"Your-your helping her?" She screeched in disbelief. Brick moved closer to Blossom, who looked amused. He put his arm around her shoulders.
"Us super-powered humans need to stick together. You wouldn't understand, of course." Brick complied, referring to her old wish to be like them. Blossom snickered as Princess' face went red, and her fists tightened at her sides.
"Ugh! Brick, you officially lost the chance to be with me!" she yelled. She ran over to the limo, hopping in and slamming the door. The vehicle screeched as it made a quick turn of the docks. Her head popped out of the back window.
"This isn't even the beginning, losers. We will succeed, and we will kill you when its all over. Just remember that!" Then, the car drove off. Blossom and Brick stood in silence, watching the car disappear in the distance. The boat slowly drifted back into the ocean, the waves crashing loudly.
"Pfft. What a freaking weirdo, man." Brick said turning to Blossom, a smile plastered on his face. Blossom offered a small smile, but it didn't last long. Princess' words echoed in her head.
'we will kill you when its all over'. Was it possible?
"Whats the matter?" Brick asked, losing his smile. Blossom looked of into the ocean, the moon reflecting against the water.
"What if shes right? What if we die?" She asked, her voice cracking on the last word. She looked up at Brick.
He looked around, seemingly everywhere but Blossom's face. A mixture of emotions washed over his face before going back to his signature smirk. Though, Blossom was sure she caught a glimpse of regret in there...
"Bloss, don't worry. We could defeat all of them in one night. You have before right? The only villains that were a real challenge were, well, us. Right?" He asked, his voice soothing. Blossom frowned.
"Well yeah. You...and...Him." Blossom said, looking to the ground. Brick's eyes widened momentarily, but Blossom didn't notice. Brick cleared his throat.
"Well, don't worry about Him. As far as I know, hes not in this." Brick said, rubbing Blossom's back comfortingly. Blossom didn't protest.
"Really?" She asked, searching his eyes. Brick swallowed and nodded.
"Really. W-we aren't going to die Blossom. You shouldn't worry." He said, biting his lip.
"Thanks, Brick. For, everything." She said sincerely. Brick smiled, and flew over to pick up his now full duffel bag.
"No problem." He remained in the air, a challenging smirk ever-present on his face.
"Now, I don't know about you, but I still have a power surge. Wanna race?" He asked, pointing into the ocean. Blossom rose her eyebrows.
"Won't someone see?" She asked, looking around nervously.
"Come on, Bloss. Risk a little, huh? Live your life." He murmured, whispering the last part.
"I-I don't know..." She said, though, she was already floating up to join him.
"Don't over analyze things. Just, do." Brick said simply, turning to her with a heart-stopping smile. Blossom returned the smile, her way of agreeing.
Brick's smirk returned, and he took off into the distance.
"Hey! That's cheating!" Blossom yelled before zooming after the red streak in the air. He paused in the air, laughing.
"Bad guys don't play fair, Blossom."
And he meant that. No matter how much it pained him to say it.
