Track 14: Lucy (Hurt People Hurt People) – Olivver The Kid
Butch lit up a cigarette and took a long drag, breathing out a cloud of nicotine tinted smoke as he gazed up at the cloudy night sky above.
He let out a tired sigh as he stepped over the pair of unconscious bodies lying in the middle of the grimy alleyway he was currently in. This was not how he had wanted to spend his night.
In his defense, though – the assholes had it coming – they had had it coming for the past several hours in fact. The tall raven-haired man sucked in another lung-full of nicotine as he reflected on the past several hours that had lead up to this moment.
He had been attending a high-scale press conference featuring the Powerpuff Girls as Buttercup's guest a few hours earlier in the day, and that was when the trouble had originally started.
Buttercup had been spouting a form-fitting, short dress, as per the conference dress code, and two young reporters – aka, the unconsciousness assholes in the alleyway – had been on her ass all night, and had refused to let up with some particularly wolfish comments about her attire.
Clearly, they hadn't seen him in the audience.
As the night progressed on, Butch could see that Buttercup wanted nothing more than to put the two young men in their rightful place, (which happened to be eating dust bunnies off the floor) but couldn't, due to it being a live, broad-casted event.
Finally, after one very suggestive comment from one of the reporters, both Buttercup and Butch had had enough. She had swept the crowd looking for him, and when their eyes had met, Buttercup had given him the tiniest of nods, causing a sick smile to twist his face.
He had permission.
He was going to fuck both of them up royally.
When the conference was over, he had followed the two men out the door, and had struck up a conversation with them, before mercilessly pummelling them into the pavement where they were currently.
Butch let out another sigh before stomping out his cigarette, and took off into the sky in a flash of green.
Buttercup was more than capable of taking care of herself – he knew that better than anyone.
But that didn't mean that he wouldn't be there for her when she needed him to help her out in situation like that one.
It didn't mean that he wouldn't stop looking out for her.
