1. Summary
Okay, I'm back on site, two days earlier. Miss me?
Okay, I can take the hint.
Anyway, here is my next story. It's another squeal, although reading the pervious stories ('Can you keep a Secret' and 'Brick through a Window') is not essential. I do advise that you at least read the summary below first, or you'll probably be lost by the end of the first paragraph.
Powerpuff characters. All these are from the normal series, I did not create them and do not own them. Puffs/Ruffs are 32 years old.
Blossom: Married (see below) with two children. Has recently returned to crime fighting, and is regaining lost confidence.
Bubbles: Is preparing to marry Boomer. Often works abroad now.
Buttercup: Is married to Butch, and has been for seven years. In the previous story she lost a baby, which understandably upset her a lot, but is making progress through it.
Butch: Married to Buttercup, (yes, I know I just said). Also now a superhero, but still manages to abuse his position to make money in less than legal ways. Devastated by the loss of the baby, but determined to sort it out.
Boomer: About to marry Bubbles, is now a superhero, and much more honest about it than Butch.
Brick: Died at seventeen, details of this in "Can you keep a Secret." Now works for Death(!) collecting the souls of those who have just died. Has a horse called Katharine. He is still in love with Blossom.
Any other characters from the standard series can be assumed to be in the same state as in the show, just suitably older.
Crossover characters I use these because I'm unoriginal. More may appear as needed, but only the two below are major characters.
Eddy: From Ed, Edd and Eddy, is married to Blossom(?) Not really accepted by Bubbles and Buttercup, but more so by Butch and Butch. Quite how he got here isn't clear. Has an inferiority complex over Brick, but doesn't worry about it, as Bricks not here to take advantage.
Sonic: Yes, the Hedgehog, (I know, I Know.) He is the leader of the Superheroes, making him the puffs/ruffs boss. Particularly keen to keep Blossom working very minute of the day.
My characters Characters I created. Feel free to use, if you can find one for them (which you won't, because no sane person would pair Eddy and Blossom…)
Edward: Blossom and Eddy's son, ten years old. Has no idea that his Mum is a superhero, although knows that his aunts are. Isn't at all keen on the idea of being a hero, he has other ambitions. Typically inattentive and sarcastic, but not that badly behaved.
MJ: Edwards's younger sister, five years old. She has the same knowledge of her family as Edward does, but desperately wants to be a superhero. Generally smiley and chirpy, but currently being bullied at school. Seems to be able to see Brick, which she shouldn't be able to do.
Roland: Another of Death's workers, merely there as someone for Brick to talk to.
Other concepts
SSR: the government funded superhero organisation. Sonic is in charge, Blossom is second in command, but Sonic treats her more as a glorified secretary. The other Puffs/Ruffs are also members, as well as anyone else I pull out of thin air.
Blossom's secret: Related to Brick's death, it doesn't play a part in this story, but it's worth noting, that Sonic (there when it happened), Eddy (told by Blossom), Boomer (told by Blossom) and Butch (told by Eddy!) know it. Note that Bubbles and Buttercup don't.
Apology: Sorry to Terry Prachett, who I've stolen some ideas off (but I'm in good company in that field!)
Right, if you think this is stupid, press the back button and I wish you all the best. If you think this could be good, but don't understand what I've just written, or want to know more, you can go skim read 'Can you keep a secret' and 'Brick through a window.' If you want to read the story, let's begin.
