Brick's P.O.V.
"You!" Blossom yelled. Honestly if she's wasn't so god damn annoying, I might find her attractive. She definitely has grown over the years, I'll give her that much. From her button up blouse that hugged her chest very nicely but I can't get distracted now. Besides that chest is attached to a head that won't stop staring at me with such hate. Don't blame her though if I'm being honest. I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"It's been a while... hasn't it pinky?" I said.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT! I have a name and it's Blossom. You make sure to remember that!" she yelled while going up to me and poked my chest.
"I would prefer if you would stop touching me and back the fuck off of my face. Last thing I want is this building to collapse because you chose to have an altercation with me." I replied.
"Oh please, if anything I have to make sure you don't cause mass destruction. You guys are always up to no good. As to why you're really here, well I can only assume that it's also nefarious." she nagged at us.
I look to my left and Butch's eye was twitchy again. That usually means he was hitting his boiling point and was asking for some type of action. On my right, Boomer just had is hand on his forehead like he couldn't believe we were getting the riot act this early on. Honestly I couldn't agree more but before I could respond to her Boomer beat me to it.
"We're not or haven't done anything. Don't ya think if we were to do something, this place would be rubble by now?" He asked. Pinky just gaped at him and couldn't believe the sense he made. I understood that bafflement all too much. But I gotta tell ya, Boomer really does surprise me sometimes. He has his moments of clarity.
"But onto more pressing matters... when's lunch time?" Boomer asked. I seen the blonde in front of us giggle and the brunette just rolled her eyes. Well that didn't surprise me. Between the three of us, the guy is a bottomless pit. Also like I said, he has his moments but he's still Boomer the idiot. I just shook my head and sighed again.
"Boomer do me a favor and shut up." I sighed. "Look let's just get to class and we can talk more about this later. We can answer more but I really want to get started." I said. Blossom just stared at me like I grew two heads.
"Not so fast bub. We want answers. Answers you haven't provided yet so you gotta tell us why you're here. Also can you tell twitchy to stop staring me. Unless he wants to get buried 6ft under." the brunette sassed me.
"Try it bitch. Trust me I'll bury you first and give you a taste of what the afterlife actually feels." Butch said. I turned and glared at him. It was all I needed as he made eye contact with me and looked back down.
"ENOUGH! This isn't the place to have this argument, this talk, or whatever you want to call it. Mr.Wexler if I may be so bold to ask but do you mind if we have this discussion outside your office. I feel as if this conversation isn't meant for faculty to know or to misinterpret certain topics that may or may not be brought up. Just seven minutes in the courtyard is all I ask. I promise to keep my brothers in line and not to cause destruction. I feel as if this talk needs to happen to prevent further altercations. Afterwards we will head straight back to class." I explained. Mr.Wexler looked as if he was actually contemplating at what I was asking but he nodded his head and approved.
"Of course, as long as there's no violence then there shouldn't be a problem. However, I need to make this clear to both groups of students. This school's ethics policy must be held with the upmost respect and I expect nothing less from each and everyone of you. Is that understood? He asked. Well nodded our heads at him. "Great. There will be a bit of school security officers out there to make sure no violence ensues. Well not that they can stop you but they will report to me if anything happens." He explained. We all nodded again. He waved his hand and excused us outside.
We all walked towards out the front of the outside campus. "Alright, let me first start off by saying no we are not here to commit any crimes believe it or not. We actually came here to study and get an education." I said. They still looked unconvinced.
"We don't believe you" Blossom said.
"I can see that and I completely understand your feelings about us. But you need to understand that we don't want to go back to where we before we got here." I said.
"You mean jail?" Buttercup asked with a smirk.
"HEY! Back off Butterbitch. We haven't been in jail in like five plus years and we've been pretty well behaved." Butch fired back.
She lost her smirk and snarled at Butch. "Well excuse me for not believing a word coming from three washed up supervillains. I mean really we haven't heard from you guys in about five or six years and now all of a sudden you guys come back to study? Uh-uh I ain't buyin it! Once a villain, always a villain. Besides you're too much of a jerk to actually sit down and listen to anyone. Blue eyes over there is practically too stupid to function and not to mention his lack of attention to this conversation. And then big bad red in a suit there with one messed up eye looking like the devil himself and you're telling me you guys wanna study?" She sassed again.
I looked to my right and see Butch seething with every insult she threw at him. I look to my left and Boomer was seething all the same. Before they took a step forward, I put my arms in front of them. I turned around to face them and grabbed their shoulders. "NO! No. HEY! Fucking no. Remember what we talked about. No fucking fighting. Don't listen to her. Don't waste our opportunity to be better. STOP!" I barked at them. Boomer blinked and nodded with his head down. Butch was still twitching at them. "I said STAND DOWN BUTCH! NOW!" He finally snapped his eyes at me and looked down again. He nodded. I turned around to face the girls again.
"Now look, like I said before I know you have no reason to trust us. You can keep an eye on us for all I care but we want an education. As long as we don't start or DO anything to the school and/or it's people, you don't provoke us." I explained.
Pinky finally stopped being quiet about all of this and asked, "Are you suggesting some sort of truce between us?".
"Yea I am." I said with all the seriousness of my voice can carry. The boys looked at me like I grew a tail or some shit.
"But Bri-" I cut off Butch and kept talking.
"Look this rivalry between the six of us is getting old. We're all seventeen going on eighteen soon. I don't want this stupid fight between us that started when we were fucking five to be a problem in the future. I wanna be somebody but I can't do that behind bars. The numbskulls behind me also agree. You're supposed to see the good in everyone so why should we be any different?" I asked while staring right at pinky. She looked down and thought about what I said.
"First, watch the language. Second, why should we believe anything you say? After all the crimes you committed, all of the damage, and all of the violence should we even consider what you say is true?" She asked.
"You're just gonna have to take a gamble on us then." I responded simply.
"I'm sorry but I don't gamble." she responded coldly.
"Then don't consider it a gamble, consider it as a experiment. Whether you choose to actually believe this or not but we're still technically the same. I know as much as you do that our curiosity is not only our greatest strength but our greatest weakness. We can't help but see through all possibilities of the outcome of a certain situation. This is no different. If your theory about us still being no good thugs then you won't have any problem throwing us back in jail like before. Not that I'm doubting mine or my boys skills but you know that outcome is great. Another outcome could be we really did change and you let us live our lives and let us actually become successful in life because you gave us a chance at life." I explained. Again she continued to stay silent as to hear the rest of what I have to say.
"I'm not saying for us to be best friends or anything like that but I'm sick of the bullshit. Especially the bullshit that Mojo and HIM started because their villains and hate you. Now that we don't have them breathing on our back anymore, I could give a flying shit what they want." I said.
"Language but wait you aren't living with Mojo and HIM? she asked. I rolled my eyes and continued.
"That's not important right now and none of your business." I replied. She scoffed and rolled her eyes at me. "Fine continue." she said. I sighed and continued.
"Look, I know what I want. I want to be more than just a villain. I want to be more than just someone who wasted his talents on robbing banks when I could buy and own banks. That's what I want for myself. I can't speak for tweedle dee and tweedle dumb here but that's what I want. If I have to have an education to obtain everything I want then that's what I'll do. But I will be damned twice over if you think I'm gonna throw it away just to tussle with three girls I had issues with as a kid." I explained. Butch and Boomer nodded their heads along with what I said.
She looked down and continued to take in what I said. Meanwhile Buttercup was in disbelief that Pinky was actually considering what I was saying. Then she snapped her head in her direction.
"Bloss. You're not actually considering what he's saying right? I mean you said it yourself? A villain is still a villain." Buttercup said.
"Actually Buttercup, you said that. Blossom was quiet at the moment." Bubbles said. I think that was her name.
"Oh! Look who finally decided to pipe up their voice after who knows how long. Geez airhead, I thought you were having a blonde moment there." Buttercup said.
"Hey! It's a lot to take in. Besides I wasn't the one who was instigating them. They clearly want a truce and what's wrong with that? Everyone should be given a chance." Bubbles continued to explained as she walked up to us.
"Sorry about her, she can be a bit... well much. I can't speak for them but I wanna accept your truce. My name is Bubbles and I hope we can be great friends." she said with such cheer in her voice and stuck her hand out while speaking. Her acceptance wasn't surprising but her willingness to separate herself from her sisters wasn't what I was expecting. I looked over to see her Brunette sister glaring daggers at her. She looked like she was about to say something but her red headed sister cut her off.
"Buttercup don't." She said with the same level of coldness as before. Buttercup snorted, crossed her arms, and looked the other way.
"Thank you... Bubbles was it? My name is Brick and I think we can start off as acquaintances first." I said and I shook her hand. She nodded at me and turned to my other brothers to get their attention. Butch mumbled and looked down. I stomped on his foot and got his attention as he snapped up. "Don't be rude." I said under my breathe. He mumbled again and shook her hand.
"I'm Butch but I ain't ya friend got it? Like Brick said we're acquaintances or whatever. Don't mean I like ya baby blue." he said with anger in his voice. She nodded and looked to her right.
Boomer just kept staring at her with interest until he got caught and looked away from her. He coughed in his hand and began to speak while shaking her hand. "I'm Boomer nice to meet ya."
She stared at him for a couple of seconds and giggled in her free hand. "It's nice to meet you Boomer. I hope we can be friends eventually down the line." she said with a weirdly sweet smile on her face. My blonde brother simply nodded at her and thanked her.
"Alright now that we got one vote yes and I don't have to read minds to know that your brunette sister opposes to this. What do you say Pinky? Truce? At least until graduation?" I asked again with enough seriousness in my voice for her to consider my offer.
"Only if you agree that you obey the law. No destruction, no thievery, and no violence of any kind." she proposed.
I simply ran my fingers through my hair and simply replied with a smirk. "Within the best of our abilities, we'll abide to the law."
She looked down once more and took a big breathe in and out. "Then I also accept your truce. However like you said, we aren't friends but simply acquaintances." she said to me.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." I replied with a smirk still on my face. Suffice to say that Buttercup was not happy one bit about this but it is to be expected. As I'm sure Butch is gonna give me a hard time about this later.
"Blossom, Bubbles you guys can't be serious. They're the enemy. The minute we let our guards down, they'll probably spring into action." she whined.
"Which is why the principal left it to us to not only show them around but to also keep an eye on them." Blossom replied.
"He never said that." Buttercup retorted.
"He didn't need to. I know it and so do they. As much as he wants to believe in the boys, I don't believe he's willing to just put them through classes and expect everything to be hunky-dorey. Us having the same excellence in school with them couldn't possibly be the only reason he paired us up with them. Don't you agree?" she asked while turning to me. I simply nodded in agreement. It never did not pass my mind. I like to believe he really is a nice guy but even nice guys can be very cautious. I never did like letting my guard down on anyone. No matter how nice. That's what my childhood taught me if anything.
"See Buttercup? Brick knows as well as I do that as long they abide by the rules then they have nothing to worry about. So long as they know that they or this case WE will be keeping an eye on their behavior. Or am I wrong to assume that Brick?" she asked me.
"No... you pretty much hit the nail on the head. I've been thinking about that same reasoning before we even stepped foot in this place. Not that it's any different everywhere we go. It's always been the same so why let our guards down?" I asked rhetorically.
"I still don't like them." Buttercup reiterated.
"We don't care if you like us but so long as you don't start any altercations with us, then we won't either. And if Butch here... decides to be a pest and get out of hand. You can always count on me to reel him in. Right Butch?" I asked while looking dead into his eyes. He merely grunted and looked away.
"Alright then it's settled. From this day forth, the Powerpuff Girls and the Rowdyruff boys are at an all time truce." she announced while shaking my hand. I looked over to Boomer and Bubbles shaking hands bashfully. Then when I turned to Butch and Buttercup they merely grunted and nodded their heads at each other.
"Well now that that's cleared up, we can get to class." Blossom said. We all nodded at each other and proceeded to enter the hallways. As we approached our first class (Homeroom) I couldn't shake the feeling as if we're being watched. That could only mean one thing. I smirked and thought "Good he's here. Well I'm ready for ya...mom."
