Chapter 4: Convict
? POV (Townsville)
My plan was going great, in no time Buttercup should be out of the way and then the Powerpuff Girls will be easy to take out without an offense. This was my best plan yet, and the best part is that it was absolutely foolproof! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Butch's POV
I saw Blaire standing at the opposite end of the hallway as me, we made eye contact for a while and after a few minutes she shook her head and walked the opposite direction, but I wasn't about to just let her go so easily. I chased her down the hallway and grabbed her wrist and like deja vu, she turned on me, her lime green eyes seemingly staring straight into my soul as if to find out why I betrayed her. "Why?" She asked me in the saddest voice I'd ever heard. I felt a million knives of guilt stab at my gut, I did this to her. "Look Blaire, I planned it out with my friends before you came in today and apologized, that's what I was talking to those guys about, but when I went to tell them to cut off the plan, it was already too late and they put the text on a mass send queue. I was just mad because of how bad you embarrassed me the other day. I'll let you yell at me, punch me, do anything. Seriously I feel awful." She just looked at me and said "that's not necessary, I forgive you." I was shocked and I was sure she could see it on my face because she started to laugh and I couldn't help but do the same. "So are we friends?" I needed to be sure. "Friends" she smiled at me with a perfect white smile that brightened my mood upon seeing it. Wait- what am I even thinking? I walked her back to her class but when I got there, I was met with a death inducing glare from Brick, he had told me he thought of her as the sister he never had, unless you count Boomer. To my surprise though, she defended me. "It's ok Brick, he apologizes and he had a good reason to do it, I was kinda a bitch to him yesterday. He just better not do it again." She shot me a glare so fierce I actually flinched. This girl was something else.
BC POV
I was glad that Butch and I were still friends. Brick, Boomer, and Butch invited me to sit at their table at lunch, and everybody didn't even bother messing with me about the video. While hanging out at lunch, I couldn't help but notice how much in common I had with Butch. It only made hanging out with him all the more fun, he was even more fun to hang out with than Mitch was when he was my best friend. Don't get me wrong I still loved Mitch in a boyfriend way, Butch was just more fun to hang out with. After my last two classes that I spent joking around with Brick and blowing things up, gotta love chemistry, I finally had my free period. I got dressed for soccer practice in black athletic shorts and a green tie dye t-shirt and I put my perfectly curled hair into a high ponytail with my bangs braided and pinned up to the side. After changing, I walked outside and was surprised to see Mitch calling me over.
Mitch POV
I saw BC walk outside looking hot as hell in her soccer outfit. I couldn't help but to call her over, I just couldn't let her know I knew who she was yet, she might run away if I do. She looked surprised and jogged over to me, her chestnut hair shining in the sun as it bounced behind her. "Do you need something Mitch?" You. I couldn't say that though. "I just wanted to talk." I smiled, maybe I could get her to slip. "What about?" "I don't know, how about how you're apparently so good at soccer? The whole school talks about you you know?" She blushes and looks surprised. It's a cute look on her, but it's not Buttercup, she really was pretty good at this acting thing. "I didn't know people knew I could play, but I guess I just practice a lot…" "just practice? You sure about that? I mean you're better than the former captain who has superpowers. I'll watch your practice tonight, you may even. Be better than my ex girlfriend! Don't tell her I said that though, she'd kill me!" That was bound to get a reaction right? I saw anger flash through her peridot eyes but she was quick to cover it up. "Butch has superpowers? How would you know?" "He used to be a villain in my city, I guess he's good now." She didn't respond, she just stared into my eyes. I knew it was her, nobody else had those eyes, nobody else had that stare. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever, but was really only 1 minute, but somehow she seemed closer than a minute ago. "I missed you Mitchelson." She knew I knew. Our lips met somewhere in the middle, and it felt like our first kiss all over again, it felt like I fell in love with her all over again. Wow I need to chill out with all this mushiness.
BC's POV
I kissed Mitch and revealed my identity. I already knew he knew, but if he didn't, he did now. At this point, I honestly didn't care. I needed some part of my old life back and I was hoping Mitch would be that part. "I missed you too BC." Mitch sent me a genuine smile. Something that was actually kinda rare from him. "I didn't mean to do it Mitch. You believe me, right? You won't turn me in?" I had to know what would happen next. "I know BC, I know. I was sent here to find you and bring you back if I did, but now that you're here, I realized I can't do that to you, you mean too much to me. Ugh you're turning me into a sap BC!" I couldn't help but laugh, Mitch never liked all the sappy relationship stuff and neither did I, our relationship was always a fun one. We would play sports and video games together, and in between, we would have a hot makeout session, but we never went that far. I was hoping we could have that back. He started to lean in again but, "HEY BLAIRE, TIME FOR PRACTICE!" I heard Butch yell down and flushed, did he witness our moment? How much did he see? How much did he hear?
Butch POV
I looked over the hill to find BC since it was almost time to practice and I saw her kissing the new kid! What even was his name? Saw him start to lean in again after a while and I don't know why I felt so angry, but I felt like I had to break them up. "HEY BLAIRE, TIME FOR PRACTICE!" She whipped her head around looking flushed and panicked, I couldn't help but laugh at my new friend, she looked really cute when she was embarrassed. Ugh I need to stop thinking like this! She gave that new kid a quick kiss and said "see ya Mitch, call me." Before running up to practice. I was gonna embarrass the hell outta her during practice.
Nobody's POV
The elite soccer team gathered around the coach at the end of a long hard practice. "Alright team, as you know we have our first game tomorrow against Citiesville High at citiesville. They're supposed to be pretty good, so don't let up until the game is over. I want to make a statement and show Pokey Oakes who's going to break their 2 year national winning streak." The team roared with approval and walked off to grab their stuff. The coach held Blaire back to go over strategies needed in the game tomorrow. Butch was packing his stuff when he looked over and saw Blaire's phone sitting on top of her bag. He saw her start to turn around so he grabbed it and pocketed it quickly without anyone noticing and put his own phone case on it so it looked like his. She walked over to him and they go to his car. They realized that they only lived a block apart from each other and Butch didn't want her getting mugged again, so she always caught a ride home with him. He dropped her off at her house and drove off after seeing her get in ok. When he arrived home, he felt a phone vibrating in his pocket, but when he took it out, he realized that it wasn't his and the caller ID was Mitch.
Butch's POV
Must be her boyfriend. Wow I really am bitter over this. I picked up the phone against my better judgement. "Hey BC!" Who the hell is BC? Her name is Blaire! "Who's BC?" "Shit. Who is this and why do you have her phone?" "I'm not gonna ask again who's BC?" "The person who owns the damn phone dipshit!" This kid must not know I could kill him with one punch. "This is Blaire's phone and I don't know why you're calling her BC." He hesitated for a while. "Why do you have her phone?" I could have fun with this. "I'm at her house and she fell asleep." "Why are you at her house?" I could work this in my favor. "What was that Blaire? You don't want him to talk to you anymore? Ok I'll tell him. She said she never wants to talk to you again and that anything between you guys is over." "That BITCH! Well I know something about her that nobody else does and-" I hung up the phone. Although I was curious about what he knew, I didn't think I could stand his bitching for much longer. I had a game tomorrow so I went to sleep, this was gonna be a great season.
The next day
BC POV
I was actually excited for today, I had my first game, Mitch was back in my life, and Butch and I were friends. Nothing could possibly go wrong! My theory was proved wrong though when I walked towards Mitch and instead of a greeting kiss I received a glare and with my enhanced hearing I heard him mutter 'slut'. I froze and I felt a whole new feeling of hurt surge through me, but I wasn't about to show it. Instead I let my anger take over and ran to cut off Mitch. "What the hell was that?" He tried to go around me but that wasn't happening. "Get out of the way you dirty Slut!" I could feel my anger starting to take over my consciousness. "WHAT THE HELL DID I DO TO YOU ASSHOLE? I DON'T KNOW WHY I EVER THOUGHT I MISSED YOU! WE'RE DONE AND I NEVER WANNA SEE YOU AGAIN JACKASS!" I blew up at him and he started to look angry as well as if I had no right to blow up on him. "WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I EVER MISSED YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE?! YOU'RE JUST A SLUT WHO SLEEPS WITH THE FIRST GUY YOU SEE!" Where the hell did he get that from?! I'm a fucking virgin! "MITCH YOU ASSHOLE I'M A FUCKING VIRGIN, WHY THE FUCK DID YOU THINK DIFFERENTLY?" He actually looked somewhat surprised, then angry again. "THEN WHY THE FUCK DID SOMEONE ELSE PICK UP YOUR PHONE LAST NIGHT SAYING HE WAS AT YOUR HOUSE WHILE YOU WERE ASLEEP?" "MITCH YOU DUMBASS I LOST MY PHONE LAST NIGHT IT WASN'T EVEN ON ME LAST NIGHT!" Mitch was speechless, like it seemed like he physically couldn't form words. I looked around and saw a large crowd formed around us and wondered how I didn't notice it earlier. "FUCK OFF" I yelled and pushed through everyone to get to my first period. I'm sure I must've looked dangerous storming through the halls because everyone got out of my way as I passed. I finally got to my classroom to see most of the class already there. "Woah, Blaire, you good?" Brick asked, but shivered when I sent a deadly glare his way. I know he didn't deserve it, but I didn't want any questions or any interaction at the moment.
Time skip to free period
I was still completely steamed about the whole Mitch situation. Even if it was a misunderstanding, he believed it, and that was a problem. Someone finally had the guts to approach me, and it was Butch. "Hey Blaire, I know you probably don't want to talk about it, but if you want to blow off some steam I'll listen." I'm pretty sure that's the nicest thing he has ever offered me so I had to take him up on it. I explained to him the situation and he had an odd look on his face, but I've never been too great at reading emotions. That was Bubbles' thing. However, after ranting I did feel better, even if it took the whole free period. "Thanks Butch, that actually did help." "It's no problem Blaire." He actually smiled and blushed which was very strange from Butch. Before I could think too much of it, our coach ran down telling us to get changed for the game against farmsville acadamey high. Those hicks didn't stand a chance! I got dressed in the green and black jersey that was surprisingly form fitting, a pair of black athletic shorts that came with the jersey, green soccer socks and my green and black soccer cleats. I guess they just gave me a girl's jersey. I tied my straightened hair into a low ponytail and decided to leave my bangs out today. After about 5 minutes, I got out and hopped on the bus. Once the whole team was there, we took off to go to Farmsville. I was feeling confident and looking around, so was my team. The game didn't take that long as we mercy ruled them (not sure if you can mercy rule in soccer) 20-0. I scored 10, butch scored 5, Garett scored 3, and Dayton scored 2. This was going to be a great season.
Butch POV
Blaire rocked in our game today! I could honestly kiss her right now, and if I did it wouldn't be a problem now that Mitch was out of the picture. However, I had enough self control not to, I just wanted to know why he called her BC, so I did what any other skilled detective would do. "Nice game BC!" I've never seen someone's head snap around so fast. It almost startled me. Almost. She walked over and pulled me to a less crowded spot on the field. "Why did you call me that?" "I heard Mitch call you that, where did that nickname come from anyways and where do you know Mitch from in the first place?" I watched her pale for a quick second but to her credit, she recovered quickly. "He was my childhood friend and he got the nickname from some group that we were in. I was just a little freaked out that you knew about it since it was supposed to be top secret." "What group was it?" "Why are you interrogating me? We just won our first game by a blowout! Just chill out and celebrate!" Maybe I was overreacting, it was just a childhood nickname after all.
Nobody's POV
The next four games went similarly to the first, BC scoring majority of the goals and a few more by her other standout teammates. It's been about a week since she has spoken or even looked at Mitch, which only brought her closer to Butch, finding a best friend in him. With each game it became more clear that Butch and BC were an unstoppable team which only built more on their bond and Mitch's jealousy.
Mitch's POV
I knew I was in the wrong, but she could at least talk to me or even spare me a glance! What's even worse is that she's getting closer to that asshole Butch! She's being a total bitch about this whole situation. I already have tried to apologize, but she wouldn't even listen! She must think she's hurting me, but who wants a fucking murderer as a girlfriend. I sure as hell don't and I'm sure Butch won't either.
BC's POV
After we finished practice, the coach called us all in to tell us details about the game tomorrow. It was our regionals game against Pokey Oakes High in Townsville National Park. I physically felt all color drain from my face and almost passed out because I forgot to breathe. If the coaches on that team didn't recognize me, my sisters who go to every game with my dad would. I don't know how long I was out of it for, but it obviously drew quite a bit of attention from my teammates, Butch especially. "Hey, Blaire, you ok there? What happened?" "Yeah… yeah I'm fine, just… dehydrated, that's all." I took a drink from my water bottle and felt the color return to my face. Maybe I could pull this off.
Butch's POV
So we would be playing Pokey Oakes High, our old rivals. Well they don't have Buttercup anymore and we have Blaire who is just as good as she was. There was no way we would lose! I turn around to say something to Blaire, but I almost jumped when I turned around, her face was at least 10 shades paler and it didn't look like she was breathing. I panicked for a second and tried to snap her out of it before she suffocated herself. I finally managed to shake her out of it with the help of the team, but I was still kind of worried though and I wasn't about to let that go without an explanation. When I asked her what was up though, she tried to play it off like she was dehydrated, but it was obvious that it was total bullshit. She had some kind of history with that city and I was going to find out what it is tomorrow.
The next day
BC's POV
I was extra careful with my disguise today, it wasn't much different, but it had to me flawless. I made sure to put on eye makeup since I hate it so much as well as put earrings in all three holes since I had no piercings when I left. Dressed up in a black form fitting dress that went mid thigh and a pair of silver heeled sandals. Before I left, I did a once over in the mirror, deciding to curl my hair and braid my hair to pull back my bangs and go for a waterfall style. Today I wanted to be anything not me. Once I was satisfied, I walked to school and ran into the one person I have been avoiding for the last 5 weeks, Mitch. "I'll be at your game BC. Better hope that disguise of yours holds up." The way he said that honestly scared me a little. Everyone from both schools and their parents were almost sure to be there, especially since it was such a big game. If I said I wasn't nervous, I would be lying. The school day seemed to go by too fast for my liking. I took my time getting changed into my uniform and put my hair into a high ponytail with a French braid on the side, pulling my bangs back. I even painted my nails our school color green, just because I used to refrain from painting them. I made sure my makeup covered all of my defining features and that all my earrings and belly ring were secured. I took my time getting out to the bus. I needed all the time I could get. I finally got on the bus, but there weren't too many complaints since I was the captain, only a teasing from Butch, but what's new there? Even though the drive was near two hours, it felt like 10 minutes, which wasn't nearly long enough. We pulled up to the park and I could already see the crowd growing each minute. We had our typical warm-up and then it was time for coaches and captains to meet before the came. I walked over with the coach and made direct eye contact with Mitch who was sitting right beside my sisters, who I avoided. I heard a lot of the whispers about a girl being a captain and I was honestly scared they would figure me out right there. The ref went over all the ground rules and had us all shake hands. I felt my blood go cold when I shook my old coach's hand and he stared at me for a moment, but I felt relief warm my body when he released my hand and turned towards his team, and I did the same. I was put at the kickoff, which seemed like the most tense moment of my life. When the ref blew the whistle I skillfully passed the ball to Butch, who for some reason was left wide open. I sprinted down the field and when Butch saw I was open kicked the ball in my direction and I used the kid in front of me as leverage to jump up to the ball and kick it right past the goalie. All the whispers about Countysville High being desperate enough to pick up a girl immediately silenced. I couldn't help but feel smug. "Nice shot Blaire!" Butch called to me from across the field. Pokey Oakes moved the ball towards our side of the field, but as someone went to kick it in the goal, I stole it and they busted their ass kicking air. I moved the ball down the field quickly before half of the players even realized what happened. I kicked this one right at the goalie, but when he went to stop it, it curved to the top left part of the goal. The game went on like this, them scoring only 4 goals while we scored 18, 15 of them mine and 3 Butch's. There was only 1 minute left in the game and Butch and I decided on a team move we developed this year. As he moved down the field with the ball, I put my gymnastic skills to the test and used a handspring to get myself in the air where he kicked it and I round housed the ball right into the goal, and Butch was there to catch me when I fell down. After he put me down the final whistle was blown, meaning we won! Butch gave me the biggest hug ever and swung me around in a circle before the rest of the team surrounded us, celebrating with our huge trophy. After shaking hands with everyone of the other team, I felt a huge amount of cold water fall over my head, and when I turned around it was Mitch. I was seething until he said loud enough for everyone to hear, "Good game Buttercup." I froze. I was dead, this was the end of me. I looked at my sisters and saw the recognition on their faces. I couldn't even bring myself to look at the professor. I was jerked from my thoughts though when Butch roughly jerked me around, a large contrast from the hug he gave me not even 5 minutes ago. "So the fucking bitch who killed my father was you all along, huh?" He spoke in a cold voice that really cut deep, he really hated me. The other two ruffs took the other sides of me finding their own creative, yet equally damaging insults at me. Brick: "you fucking bitch, you knew how much I hated you but you let me be your friend anyways! You don't deserve to live!" Boomer: "You don't have the right to act like our friend when you know you killed our father. I can't believe I ever talked to you." Butch: "anything we had is gone, friendship, more, whatever it was, it's gone, and nothing you say will ever bring it back. Even your fucking sisters and father want you DEAD! And I'm no exception." That one honestly hurt the most. I thought Butch and I had something, I really liked him, maybe even loved him. Everyone in the audience surrounded me and what made it even worse was that my sisters blocked escape from the sky by flying above the crowd. The SWAT team pulled up with cars, tanks, and helicopters. I knew I was surrounded, and honestly, I had no reason to fight back at this point. My sisters, my dad, my best friends, and the person I might have loved were against me. Before they felt the need to use force, I raised my hands in surrender, which surprised everyone. I guess they expected me to fight back, well it wasn't happening. I had nothing to fight for. There was nowhere else to go. The SWAT team cautiously approached me and injected my arm with antidote x, something that makes me about the same as a normal girl. Even though I wasn't doing anything wrong, a cop clubbed me in the back of the head and I blacked out.
Blossom POV
Mitch told us he has a surprise for us, but that wasn't what I was expecting. When he dropped the water bucket on Buttercup, her whole disguise washed off and her hair looked like her old black. To her credit, I didn't recognize her before Mitch's 'surprise'. I honestly felt bad after I heard all the hate she got from the Ruffs, especially Butch's. I was honestly surprised though when she surrendered without a fight, that was so unlike her. They shot her with antidote x and cuffed her, but to my dislike clubbed her in the back of her head even though she did nothing wrong. "You can't just hit her like that! She surrendered!" Bubbles ironically had the guts to say what I was too scared to. We were honestly scared of what they were going to do to her. Yeah we were upset and disappointed that she killed Mojo, but she didn't mean to, she left Townsville, the only home she knew, and didn't cause any trouble in that new life. We couldn't go against Townsville though, but does that mean we should abandon our own sister? This was a tough position.
Professor's POV
I was always harder on Buttercup, not because I favored her any less than the other two, but because I was always scared something like this would happen. I was proud of her for not trying to fight her way out of it. It showed a new sense of maturity that she never really had before. At the same time though it enraged me that they treated her so brutally. She committed the crime while saving them and didn't even resist arrest.
Butch's POV
I looked her right in her already hurt green eyes, but that only fueled my anger. She didn't have any right to feel that way! She had it coming. I stared into her eyes as I snarled out my resentful words, but as I saw her green glass eyes shatter, I felt regret, guilt, but I didn't let it show. This wasn't the girl I came to know as a best friend, this was the girl who killed our creator. She deserved to feel pain and I was glad to be the cause of it, but this feeling I had told me I wasn't. But I wasn't about to give into that weak state of mind. This girl was going to pay.
BC's POV
I woke up with a pounding headache and realized my powers didn't work. I looked around panicking slightly, where the hell was I? I quickly noticed that I was in a cage like room, the wall with holes on it emitting a fuschia light, almost painful to look at. The walls were made of diamond, the only material I wouldn't be able to break through with my powers, and a great material to reflect this blinding light at me no matter where I looked. It didn't take a genius to guess they were just holding me until my inevitable doom. It seemed like days that I was just sitting there with nothing to do, and due to the lights, I couldn't even fall asleep. I wasn't sure how to feel, however, when my sisters walked up to my prison cell. We just sat there and stared at each other until I decided to break the uncomfortable silence. "Well, Blossom, you were always scared you would have to bail me out of jail." She laughed a sad laugh along with Bubbles. "I wish I could bail you out Buttercup." This had me confused. Murderers of innocent people were allowed to be bailed out, why wouldn't I? It was an accident where I, a hero saving the people of Townsville, killed a villain who was trying to kill the people of Townsville. "Why not? People who murder innocent people get out on bail all the time! I didn't even mean to kill Mojo, you guys know that!" This time Bubbles replied. "They have a trial for what they are going to do with you tonight." "Ok that's cool I can just explain wha-" "they aren't allowing you to give your account on what happened." WHAT? How the hell was I supposed to get out of this one if I couldn't even have a fair trial! "Is that eve legal?" "Unfortunately, here there is no law saying the defendant has to be present." Well if this wasn't a hope crusher, I didn't know what was. "So who's my lawyer, or do I not get one of those?" Blossom and Bubbles both looked like they just gave up. "On second thought, just let me know what's happening to me after the trial." They only nodded and they began to leave, but Bubbles stayed behind for a few more seconds. "I love you Buttercup." I tried not to cry. "I love you too Bubbles, let Blossom know I love her too, even though I never really showed her." I could tell Bubbles was crying. "Ok, Buttercup." I could hear the door close behind her and laid down with my face facing the ground. Maybe I could pass the time by sleeping. I don't know how long I was out for, especially since I can't see outside, but I could feel someone staring into my back. I slowly sat up and stared in shock at who I saw standing there. Mojo Jojo in the flesh, and very much alive.
