Bubbles casually strolls over to the opposite side of the infirmary where Blossom is. As she was about to reveal her presence to her orange hair sister, she sticks her through the curtains and observes Brick and Blossom's pinkie finger intertwine with each other.
She simply smiles at the kindhearted gesture between the two and decided to allow the two of them to continue with their mutual bonding time.
'I'm glad that they are both okay.' Bubbles deems to herself. A wave of relief washes over her about her sisters' health and their impending relationship status with the boys.
She opts to roam over to the entrance and exit of the infirmary in order to respect what was going on with her sisters.
Upon her departure, she exhales a deep sigh that causes her tense shoulders to ease. The blonde then overhears someone asks her, "Long day, huh?"
"You have no idea." Bubbles conceded.
She diverts her eyes in the direction of the voice and spots Boomer. He occupied one of the seats in the three seated bench that was situated outside of the room.
"Is this seat taken?" Bubbles politely inquires after she covers the distance that separates them from one another, which prompts Boomer to lean his head from against the wall of the school's building.
"Oh no…be my guest." He asserts as he gestures to the open seat before she slides right in to the empty space right next to him.
An awkward silence settles among the two blondes, they recall their incident from earlier in that morning.
"I guess my brothers are still in there." Boomer mutters the first thing that surfaces to his mind in order to break the silence between him and Bubbles.
Bubbles chuckles at the statement especially after she recently witnesses the exchange between both of their respective siblings.
"…well then you will be here for a minute." She hints while she pauses in the middle of her laughter as it produces a smirk across his face.
"Oh…I see." He asserts before he engages in laughter with the blonde girl that sits off on his left.
Once their laughter cease, another wave of silence hits the blondes instead this time it was a comfortable silence.
Bubbles catches a glimpse of three students that head in their current direction. Her eyes hones in on one particular student, who leads the group. 'Flash…'
Flash stands about six feet one with short wavy blonde hair and cerulean blue eyes with a fair complexion. He wears a white shirt underneath a red athletic jacket with white sleeves and 'Flash Jones' elaborately stitched on his right side and patches of the sports he plays on the left side, grey sweatpants, and red and white athletic tennis shoes.
Bubbles then envisioned their very first day at Pokey Oaks High School. He was a very handsome young and probably someone who should would have eventually dated. However, that would immediately change once he opened his mouth.
Flash has an attractive exterior but an even uglier interior. Once the girls found out just how he demeans females, toys with their hearts, and exploits them for his own person gain. He was instantly deemed a no no.
Boomer overhears an "oh no" escape Bubbles lips as the blonde male casually saunters up to them.
"What are you doing here, Flash?!" She implores as a frown stretches on her face with her arms now across her chest.
"I heard about what happened in lunch when I was in Coach's office. Is Blossom okay?" He claims and asks about Blossom's health.
One of Boomer's eyebrows raise after he hears the blonde male inquiries about Bubbles' sister Blossom. 'I would have thought he would have asked about Buttercup not Blossom.'
Bubbles prevents him from taking a step forward to the infirmary's door. "She's currently being checked up and isn't permitted to have visitors."
Flash swiftly lifts his hands upward, which prompts Boomer to go in a protective stage. That is until he notices Flash places them within his jacket's pocket.
"Tell her I asked about her for me, will you?" He suggests as he waits for Bubbles to answer his question.
Before Bubbles could even answer his question, the door to the infirmary opens outward and reveals Butch and Brick.
Flash glares at the two students, who emerges from the infirmary. They merely reflected the same expression in the blonde's direction.
"Come on Boomer," Butch orders as Boomer ambles forward until he was with his brothers.
"So you allowed them to go in and see Blossom but I couldn't?" Flash hisses at Bubbles, which causes both Brick and Boomer to stop in their tracks.
"You do know that my sisters weren't the only ones injured in the accident this afternoon?" Bubbles smoothly covers for the brothers' presence in the school's infirmary.
He regains his composure, alters his question to an order, and stalks off in the opposite direction.
Bubbles smirks at her feat of getting rid of the idiotic and moronic Flash. She faces the boys, flashes them an "okay" sign with one of her hands, and watches them walk off.
She returned inside of the infirmary to inform Blossom of what just occurred in the hallway between her and Flash.
"Hey there," Bubbles greets Blossom once she passes through the curtains that shield Blossom from others that may walk in.
She acknowledges her sister's presence when she faces her and a smile stretches across her face.
It was at that moment, Bubbles ponders over whether or not she should disclose the event that happened outside and ruin her mood or just tend to her.
The latter heavily outweighs the first option because it was what Flash exactly would want her to do in order to worry Blossom.
"You're secret is safe with me." She abruptly whispered to her now confused sister.
Bubbles draws a cross over her heart, twists her middle finger around her index, rests her right hand over her heart, and proclaims, "Cross my heart and hope to die."
Her actions cause a now red Blossom to giggle at her sister's action. A child would often execute what she just did in order to ensure a huge secret betweem close friends.
Her juvenile gesture reminds her of her previous conversation with Brick.
Meanwhile…
Brick, Butch, and Boomer coast outside of the school's parking lot and burn rubber all the way back home.
The drive home was relativey short since Butch's foot was pratically glued to the gas pedal the either time, which let them avoid red lights and traffic.
"Boomer…" Brick calls his youngest brother's name as they exit from within the confinements of the orange Mustang GTO.
Boomer glances up to show that he hears his name when Brick asks him, "What was that all about in the hallway?"
"All I know is that the dude's name is Flash." He reveals the blonde male's name to his older brothers as they travel up the set of stairs.
"Already don't like Flash…" Butch simply states while he steps up to their apartment door when Brick adds, "You're not the only one."
Brick and Boomer advance ahead of Butch because he pushes the door open, locks it back, and tosses the keys in the dark brown whicker basket with the other set of keys.
They survey their living room to find the television on. It was stuck on the news channel that displayed Pokey Oaks High School's cafeteria with shattered glasses and upturned tables. A laptop sits in the middle of the coffee table and stack of papers spread out.
Serena materializes from the bathroom, detects her responsibilities, and unleashes a sigh of relief.
"There's something that I need to tell you three…" She suddenly mentions as she shuffles toward her laptop on the coffee table.
The boys were somewhat confused since Serena did not immediately accuse them of the destruction that was present on the television.
"Wait a minute…you don't think we did that?" Butch challenges when Boomer and Brick plop down on the couch.
"I know you three didn't! That's why I need to tell you all something very important. Now sit down!" Serena asserts and orders. She theb sits down in front of her work at the coffee table
"As you know, I'm a specialized solider in the military and that I was assigned as your guardian to watch over you three." She waits to see them nod their head to show they listen to her.
"What you don't know is that you three are registered in the military as super soldiers." She informs them about their status in the military.
"Super soldiers…" Boomer repeats the last two words when Serena confirms it true. "Yes, super soldiers or Beta soldiers or better yet super human."
"You were a part of the Super Human Agent Reform Program, commonly referred to as SHARP, which subjected young children to inhumane experiments. You three were among the children there."
"Why us though?" Brick curiously questions with emphasis on the word 'us'.
"At the time, a super villain named Mojo Jojo created you from an experiment that was conducted by a Professor U., who felt that subjects would have to be born to handle the rigors of the program. In order to prove his experiment wasn't a botch, their instructions were to capture, restrain, and bring you three back to the program." She provides an answer to Brick's question.
"How come we don't remember any of this?" Butch confusingly inquires before Serena haughtily snaps at him, "Quit interrupting me and I will reveal everything in due time…"
"Now where was I?" She utters to herself when Brick reminds her where she stops at.
"Thanks Brick…so once you three were brought back, your memory slate was wiped clean in order to proceed with the various experiments. The Professor's subjects under went the same process but he was unaware at the time. The missions they required you to execute were swiftly and effortlessly completed that they fear you would go rogue. That's why they implemented the memory wipe to prevent you from developing human emotions. The lab where you were being stored was wiped out, except for you three. Anyway, what attacked you was an upgraded version of what you three are."
"So they tried to kill us?" Boomer wonders after he processes the story of him and his brothers' past.
"No…not you three," Serena corrects him right before she discloses, "The target was probably Buttercup."
"…but why?"
"I think it was when you and Buttercup fought at the park. I guess they picked up on her unknown energy and registered her as a potential terroristic threat within our borders."
"A terroristic threat…"
'We need to tell Blossom/Buttercup/Bubbles about this.'

The Professor immediately rushed over to Pokey Oaks High after the nurse called him to inform him about his daughters. He rapidly dashed to the infirmary.
"Girls!" He was bellowing upon bursting inside of the infirmary with a frantic expression on his face. He was unaware that the nurse had approached him.
"Professor Utonium…" She cordially greets him prior to her being cut off with a worried "Girls…" emits from his lips.
"Is that you Bubbles?" He asks after he recognizes one of his three children.
The blonde treks over to him and assures him with, "It's okay Professor. Buttercup has a little concussion and Blossom is alright. See..."
The Professor peers up to see both of his daughters surface from their respective areas with a small smile on their face.
"Professor Utonium…" Nurse Teresa clears her throat to secure his attention in order to inform him, "Buttercup is not permitted to operate a motorized vehicle until tomorrow morning. She suffered a mild concession."
"What?! Oh you got to be freaking kidding me, I drove to school today!" Buttercup shrieks in a tone of disbelief.
The nurse faces her, wags her finger at her, and states, "Nurse's orders. Other than that everything else is cleared."
"Good…" The Professor breathes in a sigh of relief and declares "…girls lets go home."
"There's no way that I'm leaving my precious out her for someone to steal it." She huffs with her arms across her chest when Bubbles offers, "I can drive it."
Buttercup instantly snaps her neck toward Bubbles and proclaims "Nope…"
"Come on Buttercup unless you can think of a better way…" She pleads with an innocent expression on her face.
"She can pick up the car and fly it back home." Blossom suggests a simpler solution to Buttercup's problem.
"That's perfect!" Buttercup happily declares, faces Bubbles, and stresses, "Don't dent in my roof or drop it." "Sheesh…I promise."
Professor Utonium simply opens the door for the other two while Bubbles secures a grip on the Green Camero before they travel back home.
"Put it down gently…" Buttercup instructs Bubbles after she bolts from the station wagon and guides the car to the ground.
"Oopsie…" Bubbles mutters as she purposely releases her grip too earlier. The car roughly shakes left and right from the sudden impact against the ground.
Buttercup fires her a harsh glare and motions a strangulation maneuver on Bubbles when the Professor instructs them to quickly come inside.
"Girls there's something important I need to discuss with you all." The Professor promptly announces afore to Buttercup's interruption, "If it's the birds and the bees, I rather have my health teacher teach me."
"Buttercup," The three simultaneously say her name as the girls settle in on the couch while the Professor opts to stand.
"So what is Professor?" Blossom poses as she returns their focus on to their father.
"You three have special abilities that distinguish you from the normal Homo sapiens that inhabit the Earth. I use normal loosely for the things that I have seen throughout my life. Anyway, I was hand selected along with other candidates to perform the necessary experiments in order to yield successful results for this confidential and highly classified study."
"The study was named SHARP or the Super Human Reform Agent Program. The subjects were young children that were assigned to missions to test out the extent of their development. However, their memories were periodically wiped clean so the possibility of revolution, an AWOL solider, or emotional attachment would not occur that could hinder the mission's objective."
"I was instructed prior to the start-up of SHARP to conduct a self-experiment to prove that those who were not born with the capabilities to withstand the rigorous program should be release. The subjects, who I created was instantly tested to capture three individuals and return them back to the program. Unfortunately, I would later discovered their memories were erased unbeknown to me. The lab was eventually targeted and destroyed."
"The military registers them in their records as super soldiers or Beta soldiers. I managed to rescue three of the only survivors after I acquired information about their true intentions. You, my daughters, are considered super soldiers. However, you are correctly taxonomize as a super human." He confesses to them about their true nature.
A pregnant pause follows the conclusion of the story. Buttercup abruptly storms off to her room while Blossom and Bubbles were frozen from shock on the couch.
