And there will be spelling mistakes sorry bout that, if I figure out how to go back and edit I WILL, please help on that. Xoxo
Chapter 2: This sucks but you don't.
As Bubbles headed towards the screaming, she felt Boomer's hand tense up. It was unnerving she gave it that. But she could recognize that high pitched, angry, totally over it scream anywhere. It was Blossom. So she started to do what any good sister would do. And started running towards her, still holding Boomer's hand because there was a good chance that Brick was also close by and she was sure he wanted to see him as much as she wanted to see her sister. "BLOSSOM" Bubbles started calling out her name, and her sister stopped screaming and yelled back.
"BUBBLES? IS THAT YOU?" She heard a crash on the sand, Blossom probably pushed Brick out of the way, then she heard her sister trip. "You stupid mother-f, let me get to my sister" she was arguing now and at the rate Bubbles was running she was also coming into view. On the ground was probably the funniest sight the blonde had ever seen. Blossom was clawing at the sand while Brick held her by the ankles. He didn't seem so happy that she had pushed him out of the way. Her hair had fallen out of its customary bow-tied ponytail and was splayed out on the sand as she struggled to come closer to me.
"You're not going fucking anywhere you uptight bitch, push me again and-" he was cut off by Blossom jerking herself free, and kicking him square in the face. "GODDAMNIT WOMAN." He clutched his nose and rolled away, out of breath. Boomer let go of my hand and went to him. Bubbles definitely wasn't giggling the whole time, and didn't need a second or two to regain composure. She held out a hand to her sister and she grabbed it, then her younger sister.
"Oh Bubbles I was so worried," she kissed her sister's cheek and pulled Bubbles closer, "hurry let's go find Buttercup and get off this island, and away from these SAVAGES." Brick only jerked his head up and glared at Blossom while Boomer checked his nose. He was in too much pain to give a proper comeback, but he definitely wasn't letting this go.
"But Blossom, we should probably bring them anyway, they have to find Butch as well. And you know how he is, only 3 people can handle him, and we're missing our one of the three." She glowered, grabbed her bow and retied her iconic ponytail.
"Bubbles I love you, but that's the worst plan I've ever heard of, and there's no way either of them would even consider helping out." "I mean really if they've been attacking us nonstop for the past 2 months what makes you think they'd help us right now?" Bubbles stare down at her feet, she made an excellent point. They had been relentless in making the girls' lives miserable. Buttercup hadn't been sleeping thanks to Butch's late night fights. Blossom had been so stressed thanks to Brick's plans for attacking us, and from making her own to counterattack every night. All of them were tired from beating each other up, and the chemical X in their bodies definitely wasn't keeping up with it.
"I helped her find Brick and you, I'm sure I wouldn't mind helping find Butch," Boomer, her knight in shining, argument winning, armor, had spoke up. If she didn't despise him so much there was a good chance she would have kissed him on the spot.
"That's right! Boomer can help us find BC and Butch, easy peasy. One more sibling pair shouldn't be too much right?" She smiled up at her, but her face was one of concern, not confirmation. Blossom was considering the pros and cons of the situation, trying to analyze every detail like she normally did. Brick on the other hand, seemed too focused on his hurt, but thankfully not bleeding nose, to even think about anything like he normally did. Or maybe he was, since he had a dazed look on his face, the boy was hard to read, especially from an outsiders point of view.
"What about your brother Boomer? You aren't going to leave him behind and I'm sure he doesn't want to come with us." Blossom retorted. She was right, she had just kicked Brick in his nose and he didn't look particularly happy about it either. There was no way he'd join the little green searching group after that. "We can surely grab Buttercup anyway without you two, and if they're close together it won't be hard to find and retrieve Butch. Who we could total-" she was cut off by Brick,
"You can't handle Butch, he's probably pissed off beyond belief if he knows what's happening. And if you try, you're going to get hurt, then we have three hurt Powerpuffs to take care of, and no help on getting off this island", he pulled his hair out of his ponytail and ran his fingers through it, "In fact you probably need us anyway, if you ever want to see your precious town again and get off this island. So to wrap things up, I'll go with you. My brother is an idiot and dangerous but so is your sister, if we want any chance of getting them both back both groups need to be present." Blossom stood there staring at him a stone cold expression on her face, still holding Bubbles, and took a deep breath.
"What I'm about to do is the worst decision I've ever made and god I hope it works," she muttered under her breath to the blonde, "Like you said Brick we need to work together, if you'll forgive me for one, kicking you in the nose, and two anything else, I'd like us to form a temporary truce", "You don't have to confirm right away but it's a good deal, we both want off of this island and we need each other to do it." She held out her hand and raised her head to a more authoritative figure. "What do you say?"
The shore was silent for a while, then Brick grabbed her hand. "I accept your proposal but not your lackluster apology, but we'll be working out the details later, understood?" She nodded and he released her hand from his grip.
There was something soft beneath Butch and his self proclaimed chiseled, glorious body. Rolling off of whatever it was Butch was greeted by a face full of sand.
"What the hell..." Shaking his head he looked around. The object of question was Buttercup, in his own words, a smokin hot ink-haired babe. Who also happened to be his arch enemy, but let's be real, was she really an enemy to him? He snickered and tapped her small, pixie like, nose.
Buttercup was 5'7", only like 7 inches shorter than his 6'2" body. Her hair was short and pitch-black like mine, and reached her chin. On her face was one beauty mark located under her left eye, and she sported parakeet green eyes, that were at the moment closed. Her lips were full and right now had black lipstick on them. Girl's body was heavenly to Butch, even if she lacked in the chest department, c'mon A cups? On anyone else he wouldn't have even looked at a girl for that, but she more than made up for it in his eyes with her hourglass and athletic body, and they fit her well anyway so he wasn't complaining. Her ass was the best part to him, amazing, truly it was. He'd die for it. But leaving his thoughts alone, he brushed her hair out of her face and nudged her again.
"Wake up"
She didn't. Was it unfair he was waking her up every morning at 3 a.m. so she would fight him? Yes, yes it was, but how else would he get to stare at her in class? When she was awake all he'd get is a glare. But no one glares when they're sleeping. So he didn't push it any further, she could sleep, that was fine.
This was fine. They were on an island together, maybe with Brick and the pink lady he swore he didn't like (it was totally a lie, Butch could tell he was into her) and possibly Boomer and that crybaby Bubbles. Who knows, maybe everything would go great. They'd fall in love, she'd stop hating hum, other things would happen etc, etc... He smiled at the thought, then stopped.
Because these thoughts were something only Boomer would imagine. Oh I'm falling in love with her. She's the best, god everyday I'm with her is the best day of my life. That shit was fucking gay. He didn't like Butters, she's just hot. That's it she's just amazingly hot, and he totally wanted her body, not her though.
However hot she was, she was waking up. Her eyes fluttered open and she sat up.
"Morning sunshine, how'd you sleep?" Butch titled his head on his knees and smiled.
Her head jerked up and she turned towards him, and boy did she look angry.
"Butch, I'm going to actually and physically murder you in the next minute, if you don't start explaining why we're here, how we're here, and where we are." Buttercup groaned, rubbing her eyes and her head.
Yeah she was perfect, until she opened her mouth. Blah blah blah, I hate you butch, I'm gonna fucking kill you Butch. 3 a.m. isn't a good time Butch. Now he remembered why he hated her as much as he didn't" like her.
"One I bodyslammed you here after we saw the reds, remember, two see one, and three if I knew, which I don't, I'd have no way of figuring out how to leave."
She huffed and turned away, obviously upset at the whole situation. He stood up and brushed the sand off himself.
"You can stay mad Butters, but I mean how can you be mad when you're with me?" She then punched Butch in his face. Shit. This wasn't the best start for either of them.
Brick POV
After the little group consisting of a She-demon nose crusher, a remarkably good compromising crybaby, his baby brother Boomer, and Brick, left towards a different direction he heard a sickening crunch. It seemed they still had super hearing, and he could see it in everyone else's expressions.
"I guess they found each other" Boomer chirped.
"Yeah, we better go get them before they kill each other." Brick groaned, rubbing his temples. The last thing he needed was a dead brother, or puff.
So they ushered off in that direction like all good siblings would do when you hear a bone possibly break in the distance. Taking in the area, Brick noted that sandy beaches were in all directions, but it seemed like there was a forest in the middle, covering a nice amount of land with its lush, green, foliage. It was definitely small enough that we could see the other side if we were high enough, but big enough to provide ample shelter.
When they finally reached Butch and the green puff, they were fighting and it seemed pretty intense. Butch had Buttercup in a headlock and had a nice hold of her hair in his other hand, jerking her head up. Buttercup wasn't at a disadvantage though, she had gotten a good amount of punches in and you could tell by the bruises on Butch's face. She was also clawing at his hold and was about to bite him. Luckily for Butch, she didn't, and stopped clawing as soon as she saw her sisters.
"Let her go Butch," Brick commanded, Butch released her but she gave him a good sucker punch before running to Blossom's arms.
Strolling up to Butch, Brick held his chin in one hand and moved his head with his other. "Open your mouth" he did and Brick inspected the damage. "Well the good news is she didn't take a tooth out, but you're pretty rough" he chuckled and let his brother continue.
He wasn't wrong though, his brother did look pretty rough. He was 6'2" only an inch shorter than him and had a more muscular form than his. His sable colored hair was short and spiked up at the top, whether it was natural Brick wasn't sure, but his cowlick was. Even if it wasn't bad it was still noticeable. He had a few more piercings that his brother, more notiacbly he had one on his eyebrow. Brick had stuck to some small gauges, triples, and helix's with snake bites to fit. He followed suit, but replaced the snakes' with spider bites. His eyes were basil colored and one was currently a black eye. His face had a few bruises on it and his jaw looked a little swollen, but it wasn't nothing a little chemical X couldn't fix.
He lifted his arms, and ran his hands over his soot-haired brother's ribs. They didn't feel broken to Brick, and he didn't flinch, which meant they weren't hurt that badly.
"Do you hurt anywhere else?"
This kinda of procedure was normal, Buttercup packed a hell of a punch and even his brother wasn't immune to it. He shook his head and rubbed his neck.
"Good, to fill you in on the situation we're in a truce with the girls, so no more of this okay?" Butch snapped up to attention at Bricks announcement.
"We're what now? You want me to be cool with that chick?! Do you see my eye? My beautiful face? By the gods you must be crazy Brick!" Butch griped, displeased by the news.
"I'm not crazy I'm sensible, and I thought you would like it," Butch went crimson and turned his head away as he continued, yes Brick did know about his brother's massive crush on his counterpart. Maybe Brick was using it to his advantage but hey what else was a brother supposed to do?
"We're stuck on this island and we need each other to get off, so try and get along with her" However Brick himself wasn't so sure that was true, maybe they could manage on their own, but he dismissed the thought. This was an easy alternative and if needed he'd think of something later.
"Alright whatever you say, you're the boss" He heard Blossom giving the same kind of speech, which was a good sign.
Hopefully her sister would get the message and give up on trying to kill his poor lovesick brother.
Blossom POV
Holding Buttercup tight in her arms Blossom sighed in relief exhaling all the stress she had kept pent up earlier. All of her sisters were accounted for and she didn't have to worry about them anymore, god know how she had. Well that was wrong in a way. She did have to keep worrying, they didn't have a shelter and didn't have very many supplies. And didn't know if they could leave this island, or if it was populated. She turned to Brick, who had conveniently finished checking on Butch and realeased his now blushing brother from his hands. Their relationship wasn't as strained as she had once perceived. It was weird to see someone she hated being so, caring?
"We should start working on a few things,"Blossom started, luckily for her, Brick seemed to be in an agreeable mood even after the whole nose incident , and he nodded in confirmation putting his hands on his hips and staring at Blossom, goading her to continue. It was like a challenge and she didn't want to give in.
"First Bubbles and Boomer, check through our bags and see if we can use anything from them, even if we can get off this island, we might be here for awhile." Bubbles turned and grabbed Boomer, who was reluctant to follow a foreign leader's orders, but seeing how his brother seemed fine with it and was preoccupied with this kind of challenge Blossom had presented, allowed her to drag him away.
"Butch and Buttercup," Brick started, Blossom was about to interrupt but thought it would best if she let him finish first, she might hate him, but sometimes he had good points.
"You two are in charge of finding a shelter, a cave preferably but anything will do." If she got to pair his brother with her sister he'd just return the favor, he knew she'd go along. Blossom never liked nature that much and Brick knew it, he smirked and raised an eyebrow at her.
"Like hell I'm listening to you carrot-head, I only listen to Blossom, you know, my leader." Buttercup protested.
Blossom might have argued more on the matter but considering how awful that forest looked she decided pairing herself with Brick was better than that. And that was saying quite a bit especially with his stupid eyebrow raised, so she played along. Maybe it would surprise him.
"I want you to help Butch, your strengths together will be good to go through the forest, if you find anyone it's you two who would be able to fend them off." Blossom smiled and raised her own eyebrow, which made Brick only frown.
Buttercup groaned but started heading off in the direction of the foliage with Butch following behind.
Brick turned back to her, obviously annoyed she was in agreement, but let Blossom continue "We should go and find out how big this island is, and how much of our powers we have left."
"Right, we already know we don't have our laser vision or flight. But we do have our super hearing."
He took a deep breath sometimes it was hard to conjure up a power. Mostly when his other ones weren't working it was hard to focus on getting one to work. The majority of the thoughts he had were a tad worried ,but he released his breath, expelled fire from his mouth he smiled to himself, pleased that he still had his favorite power. He snorted and smoke came his nostrils.
"And most likely our special powers" Brick noted, as turned to Blossom.
She did the same, and her ice breath was still working as per usual and the cold was pleasant to her throat. None thing would beat that feeling of cool mint rushing through her veins and throat.
"I'm going to say we all do just based on us, try and pick me up now I want to confirm something." Brick commanded, Blossom frowned. She wasn't particularly okay with the situations.
Doing as instructed, not because he asked her, she wasn't going to stoop that low, but because it was important to figuring things out. Blossom wrapped her arms around his waist and tried to lift the red-head. To little success, she couldn't lift him more than a centimeter off the ground. He patted her on the shoulder, and she swiped his hand off her as soon as it connected, glaring up at him.
Brick continued away, "We don't have our super-strength either. However I think our chemical X is still present, my nose that you fucking kicked isn't hurting anymore" She winced, he was probably going to be pissy about that for awhile, but she wasn't in the mood for his attitude.
"In my defense, you had my ankles in your hands maybe if you didn't grab them you wouldn't have gotten kicked"
"I only grabbed your fucking ankles because you pushed me to the ground remember?"
"Remember when you tackled me into this island?"
"YOU started the fight this morning pinky"
"YOU started ALL OF THESE FIGHTS you brick wall of a man, ever consider that?"
"You and I both know that's not the truth, don't put all the fucking blame on me Pinky."
"Whatever let's just walk this stupid island."
She started walking off and away from Brick, her face was red with frustration but she wasn't letting him see it. She didn't care if he was right he still didn't get to talk to her that way. She had her pride and that was enough to prove that point.
Bubbles POV
"Soooo," Bubbles was picking up everyone's bags and putting them in a pile. Brick's red backpack, Blossom's pink one, Buttercup's green athletic bag backpack, Butch's black bag. Her art portfolio and blue backpack, and Boomers guitar case and his navy blue backpack. Everyone's stuff was accounted for.
"How long do you think we'll be here?" She chirped as she tried to break the ice between the pair.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know" he opened his back and dumped the contents on the sand. A lunch, a few water bottles, gym clothes, bandaids, guitar picks, pencils, a few school books, a lighter, and $20 fell from it onto the porcelain sand.
"Right, do you think anyone's noticed yet? That we're gone?" She grabbed her own and dumped it out.
Out fell paint, her lunch, a hairbrush, lip gloss, hair clips, scrunchies; shampoo, conditioner, and body wash from a recent sleepover she hadn't bothered to take out, mascara, scissors, and a small sewing kit. Everything else in her art portfolio wasn't very useful.
"Probably you all, but not us, they've probably blamed the whole thing on us by now, saying that we kiddnapped you all or something dumb like that" he moved on to Butch's bag a little aggravated.
His contained a lighter, a small bag of crushed green "leaves", cigarettes, like 50 granola bars, a wallet full of pictures, a small black bag boomer had grabbed as soon as it fell out, a bottle of pills, gum, a water bottle, and a spare change of clothes for gym. Boomer groaned but looked back up at Bubbles, this conversation was annoying to him, but he might as well continue. Bubbles wasn't one to let a topic stop once she got started with it.
"I'm sure they care about you all, you're still residents. We can vouch for you anyways" taking buttercups bags, Bubbles unzipped her backpack, she had a bottle of pills (they were melatonin), lipstick, piercing cleaner, a towel, swimsuit, cleats, 3 pairs of sports uniforms, a lot of candy wrappers, a water bottle and water purification thingamabob, and a small bag which she knew to be full of feminine products.
"Even if my sisters didn't I would, it's not like you hurt me." Bubbles continued as she unzipped her sister's athletic bag with a bit more force that usual, it was full of pillows and blankets, obviously the girl was planning to sleep today away, probably in a janitors closet. She closed it back up, it wasn't going to fit in anything else.
"Yeah right, it's our fault that you're here and I'm sure you all think that. Even if not my brothers both tackled your sisters down here that's still two brothers gone, I'm not leaving them behind in some jail cell." He roughly snatched Bricks backpack and opened it, the zipper loudly opening.
Inside was a pocket knife (seriously that was so illegal, Bubbles would have to talk to him later about that), a wrench, screwdriver, another knife; Swiss army this time, a small hand towel, a water bottle full of coffee, nicotine gum, caffeine gum, and some sunglasses. Bubbles softly groaned, Brick's bag was concerning, especially that he had been bringing this to school DAILY, but it probably more useful that anyone else's, other than Blossoms, probably.
"I'm sure it will work out, it always does" Bubbles reached for the final bag, Blossom's. Spilling the contents on the sand she saw she had, a first aid kit, a hairbrush, 3 toothbrush's and a bottle of toothpaste, dry shampoo, deodorant, nail polish, bug spray, sunscreen, hair bands, a sewing kit, gum, candy, a lunchbox, a few granola bars and an apple, a water bottle which had tea in it, a few school books, a change of clothes and another bag full of feminine products.
She took back what she thought earlier, Blossom was amazing. Who knew someone could be so prepared when nothing was going to happen like that at school. She smiled gleefully as she thought about all the things this stuff could be used for.
"Yeah I'm sure everything goes hunky-dory for you all" he stared to organize everything back into piles, food into one, weapons and tools into another, clothes into a separate, then water bottles into another. Bubbles stayed silent. He had a point, things go their way but that's because they were heroes. They're villains, even if the girls got off of the island they're just returning to their old lives as villains. But what else would they be?
"Sorry"
She started putting his piles into separate backpacks trying to at least organize them. Food in Blossoms, weapons and tools in Brick, clothes and other hygiene items in her own, water in his, and all the random things in Butch's. Buttercups would stay unused, maybe they could forage with it, and her blanket bag would stay that way. Because nothing else could hold all of those items, easy peasy lemon squeeze, Bubbles sighed in relief, even if the conversation was going sour, the loot they had was good.
"It's whatever, it's not your fault, so don't make it into your fault." He put the blankets back into Buttercup's athletic bag along with the pillows. She only stared back as she laid down on the sand, waiting for her and Boomer's siblings to return.
Boomer wasn't mean, he was quite nice at least in Bubbles thoughts. He held her hand and helped her find her sisters' she didn't know why he was a villain. It's not like he was ugly he was perfect hero material, he was 6 foot and had fawn-blonde hair. It used to be longer, curling into his face, with an undercut beneath it, but recently he cut it shorter, so it was just a standard cut now. There was a conversation about it a few months back about it, he'd remarked that it was too distracting and hot. So he just chopped it off.His eyes were an admiral-blue and were almond shaped. He wasn't especially built, but not lanky either. Just in between. When he smiled his cheeks formed dimples, Bubbles' sometimes found cute, depending how awful he'd been that day to her. He had a nice jaw line and didn't have many piercings unlike his brothers. Just one on a single ear. If he was a superhero she was sure he'd be very liked, probably as much as her and her sisters were. Bubbles smiled at the thought but dismissed it as soon as it came into her mind.
Bubbles turned away and shut her eyes letting the oceans waves lull her to sleep, if their siblings came back she was sure Boomer would wake her. Or someone would. It didn't matter she was kinda over everything.
Boomer POV
Boomer turned to see Bubbles staring at him, then rolling over and falling asleep her body curling up on the sand. He was sure what he said upset her a bit but it didn't matter. She'd get over it like she always did.
The girl was sweet like that. Her curly buttermilk-blonde hair was now down to her back and blending into the sand from falling out of the pig-tails it was in earlier. Her face was peaceful, on it was a beauty mark located under the left of her mouth. Although her eyes were closed they were fluttering so you could just barely see the robins-egg blue of her irises. Her cheeks were always blushed and full, and when she smiled her dimples lit up the room. She wasn't sickly skinny, but had a fuller figure, her thighs were thicker and so was she. But it was cute anyway. She was cute anyway, not that Boomer would admit it. Her hips curved into her waist and her chest was slightly large, maybe B's or C's, guessing wasn't his Fortas, that was a Butch thing.
Maybe if she didn't hate him as much as she did, they'd be dating. Well maybe not, she had shown no signs that she liked him and Boomer never give her any indication he liked her. Hell who even says he liked her and her cute body, her sand colored hair, her gorgeous smile. Shit I think I do like her.
His face went crimson and could only stare at her for the remainder of their time together. He tapped his fingers on the sand desperate for a distraction, but no amount of tapping could drive the thoughts away. I know I like her.
