Consequence
"Come out..." He said with a grim smile. He scanned the room from left to right, then right to left.
"I know your here..." He whispered, venom and disgust dripping off his lips.
Bubbles clutched Boomer with all her strength, memories from the past flooding her mind. As did her sisters, holding their counterparts. They remembered the voice, the only face coming to mind. Their father. Gary.
John had got to the stairs. Scanning the bottom of them for any signs of life. He trusted his sons but they didn't know who they are up against. He silently hopped down the stairs. He looked to his phone, opening specific apps that mojo made for him. He entered the security system and watched through the camera.
He searched the kitchen, bedrooms, rec and game rooms. Then the living room. A figure, draped in black, stood there. He scanned him. No weapons, no movement. Only six words, echoing through the house, "come out" and "I know your here"
John rubbed his temples, sleep deprived and dealing with an intruder. He flicked to the remote door app on his phone, still watching the feed on his I-watch. The door to the living room creaked open. Making the intruder move, then the kitchen door close, the intruders escape sealed. The intruder had become more eratic, moving about, looking foir what he wanted.
A shrill scream echoes through the house as Blossom's foot is grabbed and pulled out of her hiding place. Face to face with her father. Eyes welling as she struggled to run, anywhere but here.
"There you are my little bitch" Gary grinned evilly
"Hey asshole, let her go" Brick screamed
"Or what punk? You going to hit me, puh-lease." Gary smirked
Bubbles and Buttercup had been pulled out of their hiding place and carried by Boomer and Butch to the roof, hovering above Gary as they watch what happens next.
John had seen the commotion. Rage building up inside of him. How dare he come into his house and interrogate, beat and torture the children. His or any others. He edged behind the intruder. He grabbed his free arm, pushing it up into the small of his back. Gary screamed in pain as he dropped Blossom who was quickly grabbed by Brick and took off to his brothers.
"How dare you enter MY house, scare MY children and terrorize their lives" John xclaimed rage eradiating from his voice.
"Hello to you too John" he smirked only for John to push his arm further up his back.
"Y'know, I'm surprised I havn't killed you yet" John growled, his anger raising even higher
"I know why you havn't, because you can't, you always were a pussy" Gary grinned, his yellow teeth glistening putridly
"No actually, it's because these girls need a father, your wife is more worthless that you, so no matter how much you or them hate each other, they need you" John whisper-shouted in his ear, venom dripping off his lips.
"NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE GARY!" John yelled, his voice dark, sending chills up everyones spines as he lets go of Gary and kicked him in the small of his back out of the open front door.
He then turned to his "children", a reassuring smile on his face to calm everyone down. Luckily he also paused Bolt. That day, the girls didn't seperate from the boys. Staying as close as possible incase he came back.
-A/N Change in time, about 9:00pm
"Ok time to sleep, I'm sure i need it" John proclaimed the kids nodding in approval.
They walked up the stairs and went to their seperate rooms. Eager for sleep. It was quiet tonight, even with the commotion of today. Everyone snuggled into their quilts, warm consuming them.
-A/N change in time again about 1:20am (Don't ask, i mashed a number and 2 came up)
Three bloodcurdling screams are heard. Alerting the Ruffs as they rush outside into the corrdior. It was the powerpuffs. Stood there, looking for their "brothers". As soon as Bubbles sees Boomer she runs at full pelt. Boomer braces lifting her up and holding her tightly as she cried into his chest, sobbing quietly. Blossom has speared Brick crying into his chest as he sits up and holds her close on his lap.
Buttercup is stood there, tears in her eyes yet she doesn't go straight for Butch like her sister to his brothers.
Butch walks close to her. Moving her bangs out the way of her eyes. She looks up to him, feeling small and broken. Butch pulls her into a gentle hug, startling the girl before she accepts it.
"I'm meant to be strong, I can't be seen like this, I'm a powerpuff, no f-fear..." she whimpered
"Yes, you aren't supposed to have fear. But Buttercup, everyone feels like you at one point." Butch calmly replied.
"E-Even you?"
"Yeah, remember when John said he took us in, I was in this position. Boomer was ill, Brick was stuggling to cope and I couldn't" Butch reassured.
Buttercup realised that she had been confided in, even if it wasn't v ery significant. She accepted more of the hug before turning to John who had re-rolled out of bed.
"How do you know we will be safe?" she inquisited
"Well, aside from me and the Ruffs, Mojo and villains that you beat up, paid me to fix them. I was the private GP for them" John explained as Buttercup blushed remembering how she beat up everyone for teeth.
"Anyway, when they ran out of money, they would give me contraptions such as remote doors, security systems and remote locks, only I can open. Most of my house foundations are made of an antidote X infused metals so it doesn't break down if any of you get into a fight" John said
"How is it controlled?" Buttercup asked, now heavily invested in the latest security systems.
"All through my I-phone 7 and I-watch, yes i did buy one of them, it is useful to me" John said, blushing slightly at his idiotic purchases.
"Ok then, I trust you" Buttercup replied.
Boomer, Brick and Butch went to their rooms, the Puffs being carried by them.
"Wait.. WHAT?" They finally realised.
"Don't worry, there a fold down beds. It is so that if you scream again, you don't wake up the street." Brick smirked.
As the beds were folded down and the children back to sleep, John had locked all the doors again, closed the blinds after appologising to the neighbours and went to sleep.
As Boomer fell asleep. Bubbles had slipped into his bed. Holding him close as she couldn't sleep, even with the security systems, she only felt safe near Boomer. Boomer smiled as she wrapped his arm around her and snuggled into his chest, hearing his heartbeat. Falling asleep to the relaxing tempo.
Brick had not fallen asleep but was reading a book when Blossom slid into his bed, for pretty much the same reason. She snuggled into his chest as he listened to him quietly read to himself.
Butch had not had the same luck, Buttercup had slid into his bed, staying close yet far away from him, mumbling profanities and explaining why she was n his bed. Safety or feeling safe or something. Butch just smirked and went with it before falling asleep.
-A/N So what do you think, shoutout to Geeek Girl for R and R'ing. I will write sooner but creativity is something I don't do consciously. I don't mean getting watsed or high, I mean sleep :P HF with this chapter.
