He didn't quite believe it when Blossom called to inform him that they were going to have a very important meeting tonight. Or when Buttercup called saying he should make a huge lasagna for the meeting. Or when Blink suggested that they should move the meeting to the dining room due to how many people were gonna be there. Or even when Bubbles offered to help make everything including the cheesecake and entrees she offered to buy herself.

It was still surreal as he called Sarah inviting her to come over for a small 'house party' not to raise any suspicion. Had the information sunk in when the four boys were sitting at their dining room table talking with the girls about their adventures in Italy or Japan? No not really it was still hard to believe. Sarah was speaking to Raven about what this could be about when he brought in the entrees.

"So boys how long have you been in town?" Sarah asked finally when the conversation died down.

"We've been here for a week so far" Boomer answered as he picked up a shrimp.

"And where have you been living?" Raven asked he had noticed how the boys had been eating everything they but on their plate no matter how slowly it was obvious they were hungry.

"Were living in fuzzy's old cabin we only keep our stuff there though. We've been out searching for smaller members who thought they could take on the games" Butch answered gaining him a glare from his counterpart.

"So your the ones who have been stopping the crime in town?" The green eye girl roared remembering how boring the week have been.

"Crimes aren't allowed before the games begins" Bleak answered taking a drink of his green tea.

"Then how do you know they belong to the organization?" Bubbles asked tilting her head.

"A symbol branded on each member we look for that" Raven interest was suddenly peaked as the blue ruff spoke.

"Well where do we look?" Bubbles asked.

"It not ever in the same place it could be anywhere on the back on the edge of a finger"

"On the bottom of a tongue?" He asked interrupting the Green ruff.

"That's actually a pretty popular place more discreet how did you know?" Boomer asked the past general.

"So youre talking about that organization I wasn't aware this was so severe" Raven spoke grimly looking at the rim of his cup.

"You know who there talking about?" Bubbles asked taking in his grim look.

"I was once a general of the highest respect. I knew much more than my peers. They probably would never have let me go had they not forgotten who I was" letting out a sigh he gave the girls a small smile. "But I have not forgotten a thing, especially not of them," he told the group of ten.

"Are you sure it the same organization a lot of gangs have symbols."

"Yes but most dont play games with full cities nor do they have such a far reach isn't that right boys" he answered looking at the four boys his eyes narrowing slightly. "How did you boys find out about this organization?" He asked not even trying to hide his suspicion.

"They attacked our father and we tracked them down." Butch growled out eyes scanning the man dangerously. "And why aren't you dead yet?" He seemed to stick i chord with the green ruff as he rose glass in hand aiming at the man. "Don't you dare" Blossom yelled as the glass left his hand before it could make contact something hit it staining the glass red as it dropped to the ground the glass burst into flames.

"Sit down" Brick told his green brother who did as told the look in his leaders eye gave him no room to argue least he wanted to burst into flames too.

"Smart move impulsive" Bleak told his brother voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Brick your bleeding" Bubbles gasped watching the blood dip down his fingers.

"Well yeah cause impulsive over here pissed him off. We were supposed to be on our best behavior" Boomer grumbled glaring at his brother.

"Don't look at me that was my best behavior" snapped glaring right back at his brother.

"If that your best behavior your worst must destroy planets" Buttercup muttered as Blossom worked to put out the fire.

"Hold on Brick i'll go get first aid" Bubbles offered she didn't understand why his brother stared at her like she was crazy.

"Bubbles his power is blood combustion he's not injured. You know that right?" Boomer asked her tilting his head to the side.

"No how would I know that?" She asked tilting her own head.

"We just assumed Blossom would have a power similar to mine due us being counterparts." Brick answered taking a seat.

"Well she does have a blood power but she has to cut herself to activate it" Buttercup answered finally being able to take a seat when the fire was out.

"Once" Brick said looking between the girls.

"No each time she's used it" Blink answered.

"It just activated itself after the first time he used it. When ever he was pissed he bleeds it's the blood responding to the emotion" Bleak explained. "It thinks he's in danger" Boomer simplified. "Or wants to be a show off" Butch grumbled before asking the Professor for a new cup.

"So that why I bled yesterday? I was under stress?" Blossom asked it made since finally something about her power did.

"So does this mean you didn't need me to stab you in the ice?" Blink asked her eyes bore into her pink leader. Said leader froze she had forgotten all about that. "No it hadn't activated correctly yet I don't think I we were going to be exactly the same" she lied she was never going to tell her sister the truth.

"Right?" Blink didn't seemed convinced but she dropped it.

"To answer your question where not dead because I stopped us from rushing in. I made the decision that it was to dangerous" Brick explained looking over to the ex General

"I see that does sound like a smart move" in all honesty he was just happy he didn't get hit with a glass.

"So how are you eating?" Sarah asked finally chiming in observing the whole conversation it seemed that they were taking more off the entree plate then anyone else.

"We did odd jobs before we got old enough to work anywhere that would pay" Boomer answered truthfully.

"So you make your money honestly?" She asked, unlike the rest of the town she remembered every last detail of the crimes committed it was almost satisfying to hear that the town bullies and harassers made an honest living. "It also kept suspicion off us, we always had an alibi" Bleak added still satisfying they weren't going to ruin it.

"Have you found jobs since you came here?" There was a familiar cat like grin on the ex Generals face.

"No we've been finding the smaller members of the organizations" Boomer obviously didn't understand what ex general was saying as his eyes were glued to the lasagne that the Professor brought in.

"Come talk to me after dinner" he commented sending a wink over to the girls who grinned with him.

"Yeah"

"Sure"
