Chapter 21-Big Guns

Blossoms pov

I stand in the middle of the Ruffs living room surrounded by my sisters, the boys and Brat. Since when did Brat get here? This is too much for me, I just want to be a normal teenager with a normal boyfriend in a normal relationship. I scoff to myself. What even is normal anymore? I ask myself. But what hurts the most is that I discover no longer that 10 minutes ago that my best friend has been plotting against me, all because of jealously- not from me personally but she's still targeting after Buttercup which I'm more pissed about. Poor Buttercup must be feeling awful right now. I know she's still blaming herself even though she puts on a brave face and acts tough she still has feelings like everybody else.

I clear my throat as I grabbed Brick's attention in the process, "Can I speak to you privately, please?"

Brick nods and leads me to his room closing the door behind him, "What's up?"

"Are you seriously asking me that? What is going on, Brick? Why is Brat here? You said not to trust a Punk"

'I know, babe but you need to understand that Brat is on our side. Bradley sent her here to take her home" he said while showing me a small note which I assume is from Bradley.

"I thought Bradley was a dead end."

"Why are you acting all negative about this, Bloss? I thought you'd be happy to get rid of Berserk"

"I'm upset because 10 minutes ago I was happy, waiting for my best friend at the mall which I find out who turns to be a backstabber all because of some psychopath who can't take no for an answer" I cried, feeling the fresh tears rolling down my cheek. "I just want a normal life but I can't with these stupid powers and stupid evil counterparts in stupid parallel universes" I carried on, getting overwhelmed.

"Calm down, I've got you" he said as he wrapped his arms around me, holding me tight. "I promise this will all be over soon" he said as he used his finger to hold my chin up and wiped my tears away. "I won't let anything like this happen to you again"

I sniffed as I wiped away my remaining tears. All of a sudden I felt a harsh vibration coming from my pocket, I pulled out my phone to see it was Spencer calling me, "God, I don't know what to say or do without feeling physically sick" I said as I showed Brick who tried to contact me.

Brick's eyes lit up, "Of course..."

"What?" I ask getting curious of what he cooking up in his head.

"Why don't you and your sisters meet up with Spencer at the mall" Brick says casually. I look at him as if he's grown two heads, "Seriously, Bloss. If you guys go now and pretend to show up late it means we can ambush her. She doesn't know that we know so we just need to play it cool until we bring out the big guns"

"Alright genius, what are the big guns?" I asked while mocking him at the same time.

"You leave the big guns to me, Pinky" he said as he stroked my face with both hands. I look into his eyes and see a glimpse of hope, it's the most confident I've seen him in a couple of weeks.

I nod slowly, "Okay. I trust you" I said as I lean on my tip toes to kiss him. He kissed me back in a slow and tender way which I return back with passion. Before I knew it I felt Brick lift me up by my waist as I wrapped my legs around him and he throws me passionately on top of his bed. He got on top of me and we shared our passionate kissing session up until I felt him getting hard between his-

"No, we can't. Not yet" I said stopping him before he goes any further. "Sorry" I said as I looked away embarrassed.

"Don't be sorry for something you don't wanna do, I understand" he said as he kissed up my neck lightly and travelled to my ear "I'll wait for you"

"But what if I never want to..."

"Then that's okay too" he said as he kissed me on the lips again.

I haven't thought about sex yet. Yeah, it is peer pressuring especially being in school overhearing girls talking about their first and guys talking about who they last "smashed" and who their next victims are. The type of people that Brick hangs around with. Before Brick and I even dated, he was that type of guy, the type that every father that would hate their daughters being around.

"Are you okay? You feel a little tense" I hear Brick say.

"Uh.." on queue my phone started buzzing again signalling that Spencer was trying to reach me. "I better get this"

"Hello"

"Hey, Bloss! I'm at the mall waiting for you guys. Where are you? Please don't tell me you bailed I was excited about our girls day" Fake, fake, fake, fake. Everything she says sounds fake to me. Fake voice, fake laugh, fake friend.

"Oops, sorry me and the girls had to run some errands for the Mayor and lost track of him. Don't go anywhere, we'll see you in 5" I said back.

"Okay, oh and tell the Mayor that I said hi-" I hung up before she could finish her sentence.

"I should get the girls and start heading, I'll explain the plan to them on the way there" I said getting up from the bed.

"Okay, be careful. And Bloss..."

"Yeah?" I said turning back to look at him

"I love you" he smiled.

I blushed slightly but I couldn't help but show him my smile, "I love you too" and with that I grabbed my sister's and filled them in with the details.

Bricks pov

"Have you decided on what you're having?" Asked the waitress in a yellow diner uniform.

"Not yet, I'm still waiting for my friend to show up" I apologeticaly smiled.

"Sure, no problem. Take your time" she winked.

I looked at the clock on the wall, 15 minutes I've been waiting for Berserk. She's the one who wanted to meet me here and she can't even show up on time to threaten me. And she calls herself a villain I scoffed At least villains show up on time to cause some damage. I scratched the back of my head nervously thinking that this might be an ambush, who knows what this chick is really capable of.

"Day dreaming about me, Brickie?" I heard a devious voice behind me. Ugh, speak of the devil.

"As if" I replied dryly with my back still facing her.

She ignored my comment and walked around the table taking a seat directly across from me. "This is a nice place, don't you think? Sort of reminds me of our first date" she smiled thinking of the memories going through her head. I looked around the place, acknowledging it for the first time and it actually reminded me of my first date with Blossom when I convinced her going on a date where we made our dating terms.

"Hello, earth to Brick" I looked up to see Berserk waving a hand in front of me. "So, what' it going to be? You take me back or risk the greens secret getting out?" She whispered, trying to sound seductive.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked.

"Come on, it's all fun and games. I shouldn't need to explain the rules, you should know how this blackmailing game works" she winked. I felt myself sinking in my seat, is this how Blossom felt when I blackmailed her? "Are you getting all shy on me?" She smirked as she tried to reach her hand across the table to touch me.

I shove her house out the way, "Berserk, I know you're hurt but this isn't the answer"

Berserk's smirk faded slightly, "Excuse me?"

"I know about Brat and Bradley. I know it sucks to be cheated on, trust me from experience"

Berserk's smirk completely fades away and leaves a blank expression on her face.

"Listen, you need to realise I moved on and this isn't healthy. I know Bradley hurt you-"

"What do you know about Bradley?" She snapped. "He's just a useless dead end like you warned me. I should've listened to you" she said as she crossed her arms, avoiding eye contact with me.

I tilted my head slightly, "I'm sorry, Bee. Really, I am" I leaned in slightly trying to get closure, "But I think you may need help"

"ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TRYING TO MOCK ME RIGHT NOW?" She freaked out, earning a few glances from other customers and a few concerned staff.

"Jesus, No! Calm down. Please"

She took a deep breath and exhaled. "How did you find out about Brat and Brad?"

"I spoke with him..."

She scoffed, "Wow. You actually grew a pair"

I ignored her insult and focused on the main topic, "Listen, when you walk out of here Brat will be waiting for you at the front door and my brothers at the fire exit, there's no escape and even if you do get away the four of us will fly after you. And if you get away from that then Brat, the Puffs, my brothers and I will find you. With seven people with superpowers it won't take long to find you. So, give it up"

Berserk was starting to panic even though she wasn't showing it I could still sense it. "You're bluffing, Brat wouldn't step foot in this universe, she's too stupid to even know how"

"Well I don't know what to tell you besides the fact she's here and she's taking you home"

Berserk's right eye started to twitch and I smirked knowing that I got her in a weak position. "I'm not going home"

"Well, you're certainly not staying here"

"Come on, Brick. Think about it! This could be our chance to run, we could start fresh just you and me and leave the past behind us"

What has this chick been smoking? "You really do need help"

"ENOUGH WITH THE MOCKING!"

"I'm not mocking, I'm being genuine, you are a crazy bitch"

"Ahh!" She grabbed the glass of water from the table beside us and splashed the water at me. "This isn't over!" She screamed as she shot up through the roof. I look up to see a forrest green, ocean blue and a sharp electic blue streak chasing after a hot pink streak.

"So you're gonna play it that way" I said to myself, aiming it at Berserk "Game on" I said as I flew after her leaving a red streak behind me.
