Professor's POV
As a parent the worst thing you can thing will happen to your kid is a skinned knee or probably a broken arm but you never expect your child to be stabbed with a poisonous spike and for them to be dying right in front of you while you can't do anything 'This is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy' I thought grimly as I sat by my redheaded daughter as she breathed –or rather wheezed- slowly.
"Please hold on sweetheart. Brick went to get help, you'll be okay just keep holding on." I whispered and squeezed my eyes shut holding onto my daughter's hand as if it was my lifeline. And suddenly I heard my front door crash open with a very loud "PROFESSOR?!" sounding throughout the house.
Bubble's POV
I gasped in horror as we stepped into the house. There was blood on the floor in front of the door and leading towards the lab, it reminded me of a horror movie and I screamed "PROFESSOR?!" on the top of my lungs
"Down here kids!" we heard the professor scream from the lab, as we went down the stairs we avoided stepping on the puddles of blood beneath our feet and we made our way to the special room the professor kept in case any of us got hurt or sick (which was rarely because of the chemical x in our bodies) and I felt my heart drop down to my stomach when I saw Blossom lying on the bed pale and almost lifeless. Buttercup sped her way to our sister and looked relieved to see her breathing, apparently I wasn't the only one that thought that she looked like she was dead
"What happened to her Professor?" Boomer asked still standing beside Butch who looked as shocked as all of us
"I don't know all the details but apparently while Brick and Blossom were in the city a monster attacked and during the fight Blossom got hit by its tail and well…" he said as he looked down and we all understood what he meant
"Wait, wait, wait a minute! We've been hit by monsters with spikes before and nothing ever happened. What was different this time?!" Buttercup said and we all nodded wondering the same thing.
Normal's POV
"Is our chemical x becoming weaker? Is that it?" Butch asked panicking at the very thought "Damn it! We're screwed! We've made a lot of enemies over the years!" Boomer's eyes widening at the thought of villains coming after Bubbles after they found out that they're all defenseless
"No, no kids calm down. That's not why it pierced Blossom" the professor said shaking his head and trying to calm down the four teenagers all standing around with a worried look on their faces
"Then why, professor?" Buttercup said curious
"Because the monster's spikes had antidote x on them" Brick said behind them
"Brick! Where were you?!" Butch asked as he noticed his older brother standing behind him
"Getting some help" Brick said as he turned to the doctor "This is Dr. Heartnet, the best trauma doctor in the state"
"Hi, everybody" Dr Heartnet said as she walked into the room "I have never worked on someone who has chemical x in their system but I'll give it my best" she said examining Blossom
"All right children, outside. The doctor and I need space so we can help Blossom." The professor said shooing the teenagers outside and for once the teens didn't argue because they knew that it was for the best.
~*~in the living room~*~
"What exactly happened Brick?" Buttercup asked the red ruff while he paced across the room
"Bloss and I decided to skip school today and go eat pizza, while we were there a monster started attacking the city and we went to go fight it… I didn't think much of it, I thought of the monster as just another monster attacking the city, until I saw that Blossom didn't get up from the attack." Brick said pinching his nose with his thumb and index finger and closing his eyes tightly
"Then how do you know that the monster's spikes had antidote x on them? I've never heard of anything like that happening. Did you see it on the spikes?" Bubbles asked sitting down on the couch between Buttercup and Boomer
"No, if I had seen that I wouldn't have let Bloss get anywhere close to that monster… it wasn't until Dr. Heartnet and I were about to leave the hospital that I noticed that I was feeling weak and I saw the cut that I got from a spike from the monster" he replied as he looked at his hand, it was wrapped in a bandage and had some blood on it
"Bro, are you ok?!" Butch asked as he stood up from beside Buttercup and went over to his older brother
"Yeah, I'm fine… I was lucky that Dr. Heartnet called in a favor from one of her scientist friends and had him bring a vial of chemical x before we left." The redhead replied taking off the bandage to show dried blood on his hand but no cut
"So is that all that Blossom is going to need? Just some chemical x and she'll be fine?" Boomer asked hopeful
Brick looked at his brothers and at the two powerpuffs felt some sadness, over the years the boys and girls became very close and he knew that not only would the girls be devastated if something happened to the redheaded Powerpuff but so would he and his brothers
"No, unfortunately that's not the case with Blossom; she lost too much blood from the spike penetrating through her and some of the antidote x is spreading to her organs" Brick said with a heartbreaking look on his eyes, Bubbles started sobbing and hugged Boomer while Buttercup just clenched her fists.
Dr. Heartnet's POV
To the doctor there was no word to describe the fear and sadness that was passing through her to see one of the hero's of the city lie on a bed looking so fragile and helpless
"What will we need to do first doctor?" Professor Utonium asked from the other side of the bed
"First we will need to wash our hands to make sure that we don't infect her with something. In her current state that could be dangerous." The doctor said as she washed her hands on the sink next to the bed and put on some gloves, the professor followed suit and went back to the opposite side of the bed
"Now what?" he asked calmly but the doctor could see the fear in his eyes 'he must've never thought that this could ever happen to his daughters, just like the rest of us' she thought as she looked at the spike in Blossom's stomach and then towards her vitals 'they're very low… getting the spike out could cause her to bleed out but if we leave it in any longer it could continue to poison her'
"We need to get the spike out… but first we're going to need to get some chemical x, professor" she said with a stern look on her face
"Are you sure we should take it out? Wouldn't that be dangerous?" the professor asked reluctant but still heading for the chemical x in his lab
"Yes, if we leave it inside her any longer the antidote x could start destroying her organs beyond repair" she said as she grabbed towels
"Alright, let's get it out then" he said as he went back to the bedside of his daughter
"Grab it and pull it out when I say three…" the doctor said as she got the towels together in her hands "One, two, three!" and as he pulled the spike, the doctor quickly put the towels on the stomach of the redhead heroine and pressed to put some pressure. Blossom groaned and shut her eyes tighter
"Hold on sweetie, you'll be okay. Just hold on" the professor said as he put the spike on a table close by
"Get the chemical x and put this IV on her to get the chemical x inside her body to start the healing process" Dr. Heartnet said as she kept pressure on Blossom's wound, the professor put the IV on his daughter's arm and was alarmed at how easy it was for the needle to pierce his daughter's skin since his daughter's and adopted sons' skin was so strong that it wasn't possible for needles, knives or bullets to pierce it
"Alright, professor, keep the pressure on her while I grab the antibiotics to make sure she doesn't get an infection" she said as she grabbed some alcohol and IV antibiotic, put the IV in her and got the alcohol to clean the wound as she pulled off the towels from her stomach "the antibiotic will stop the possibility of an infection and I'll just clean her wound just to be safe."
"Alright, thank you doctor" the professor said as he looked from his daughter to the doctor
"No need to thank me professor, Blossom and her sisters have been protecting and saving this city for years. This is the least I could do to thank her." The doctor said with a smile in her face "I think it's safe enough for the boys and girls to see her now. Just make sure they take a shower first to make sure that they don't infect her with anything."
"Thank you, doctor. I'll go tell the kids the good news" the professor said as he walked towards the stairs.
