Chapter 4: Problems

-The following day, late morning-

The boys were now standing in front of Weasel's rented house impatiently waiting for him to answer the door, Butch kept impatiently ringing the door bell until Brick slapped his hand away and glared at him, finally after a few more second of waiting in silence the door opened and weasel greeted them with a smile.

"Ah, hello boys, I've been expecting you, come on in." he ushered the boys inside and led them to the living room; weasel took a seat in an armchair while the boys piled on the couch. "So I take it you must have a lot of questions by now."

"Yeah," Brick said, pulling his backpack and unzipping it, he took the manila envelope out and took out Bow's profile, and placing it on the coffee table in front of them, "Most of them are about her."

Weasel chuckled, "I expected as much, not even the researchers who brought her to life could never fully understand her."

Boomer seemed intrigued, "Did you ever get to meet her, or any of them?"

Weasel smiled, "Yes, several times and there is a lot more to them than those profiles could ever tell you."

"What are they really like then?" Butch inquired.

"Well," Weasel began, "This may sound odd, but… the best things I can think of to compare them to would be… The Moon, Sun and Stars." the boys looked inquisitive and confused, Weasel chuckled and began to explain. "I know it sounds odd, but let me shed some light on my opinions."

The boys solemnly nodded after exchanging a glance. Weasel cleared his thought and began his explanation, "I guess I'll start with Blast, she is the one I tend to connect with the Moon. The reason for this is not because of her frighteningly pale complexion but rather because of the fact her emotions often seemed to reflect of that of her sisters. If they were happy she was happy, much like the way the Moon's light is a reflection of the sun's light. In return she was like a protector and guiding light to them, "a light in the darkness' so to speak. Despite her hard headedness and tendency to get into trouble, she's a great leader."

Brick couldn't help but smile at the way Weasel described Blast, she sounded like a truly kind and beautiful person, despite her profile saying she was arrogant and cocky. Brick's smile broadened, and Weasel continued

"And Burn, she was like the sun embodied, and not just because of her Pyrokinetic abilities, she just always seemed to have a smile, the kind of person who brightened a room just by walking in. a person who brought happiness to everyone around her, someone you just couldn't stay mad at. But it wasn't just the suns light she embodied, the unconquerable power of the sun also showed itself in her, all it took a was one little thing, and she would snap, and then you had to watch out, lest you become charcoal." Weasel laughed.

Butch couldn't help but smile, Burn definitely seemed like the kind of person he'd get along with, she sounded kind, but also sounded like the kind of person who didn't take crap from anyone, though he expected she at least listened to Blast. Either way, he couldn't wait to meet her.

"And now about Bow," the boys leaned in as Weasel began to speak, "She, in so few words, was a fascinating enigma of a child. She didn't talk much except to her sisters. But unlike Blast and Burn, who were never far apart form one another, Bow… Bow was distant to everyone, even her sisters, much like the Stars, with has enchanted human kind since antiquity, and is so far from the earth. Bow was always blunt about her opinions, and yet at the same time, it was like she never really said what was on her mind. On the outside, she appeared to be a little girl, but, no one not even her own sisters could tell what her true thoughts were. She was gifted with amazing abilities, being able to shape shift and adapt to any situation, and being able to know anything someone else knows just by touching them. 'The Ultimate Spy' that's what Brisbane called her, but those abilities came with a price."

"The "power unstable" thing?" boomer asked, weasel responded with a solemn nod

"Yes, you see, it was her shape shifting ability, while it allowed her to make up for what she usually physically lacked in strength and speed, it had an unexpected side effect. While Bow would seldom show emotions other than spite and sarcasm, she still had them, anger included, and when her anger reached an emotional peak, often in the heat of a battle SIM… she changed, into a human like predator.. tThat's the best way of putting it, her eyes became… Catlike, her fingernails became claws, her teeth sharpened to animal like fangs, and her ears pointed. In that state she new no mercy, anything in her path was ripped to shreds in an animal-like rage. The only ones I know who could calm her in that state were her sisters."

The boys were silent for some while, blank looks on their faces, unsure of how to take what they just heard. Boomer couldn't imagine how horrible it must be for Bow, to have a Monster inside of you that could come out whenever you got to angry and she was technically a 3 year old! Just the thought of how much pain she must feel made something in Boomer break, and a feeling grow, some sort of siblings instinct he guessed. He felt the need to help Bow, be there for her, hold her if she ever cried; you know the whole disney-esque family sappiness thing.

Brick's voiced roused Boomer from his thoughts, "what about the whole "location unknown" thing?" bricks voice was steady, but it had an underlying tone of worry, he just knew he want going to like the answer to this.

He didn't.

"Well, you see… about a month before you boys betrayed Brisbane, Bow vanished unexpectedly, no one knew where she went and anyone who asked wound up with a pink slip on their desk the next morning. I have my theory about what happened." the boys all stiffened, they didn't like where this explanation was going. "You see boys, Bow was always a bit too curious for Brisbane's liking; always searching for answers and clues to the outside world she wanted to see so desperately, my guess… Is that she found out something she shouldn't have, and paid a price for it."

It clicked in Boomers mind almost instantly, " You mean she must have found out Brisbane's plan… but he caught her before she could tell Blast and Burn! Right!?" He blurted out, a fear he couldn't identify welling up inside him, only increasing as weasel solemnly nodded.

" that seems like the most likely case, he probably imprisoned her somewhere to keep her quiet, poor girl was probably scared to death, because as far as I know, her only fear was being helpless in the face of danger." Weasel ended his explanations there, but before the boys could voice any opinions, Brick's cell phone rang, the red Ruff quickly answered it, and already knowing it was one of the girls on the other line.

"Can this wait? I'm really not in the-"

"SKREW THAT RED EYES!" Buttercup's voice rang out from the speaker, forcing Brick to momentarily move the phone away from his head, " Look, if the Rodent Wonder has a TV turn on the news NOW there's something you all need to see." and with that Brick immediately picked up the remote and switched on the TV already tuned to the news, and the phone fell out of his hand.

There on the screen was the smug face of the one person the redheaded ruff ever had he urge to kill. John Brisbane, sitting is some sort of interview room with one of those airhead reporters, the screen also had off-set pictures of the charred remains of the New York lab and 2 pictures of frighteningly familiar faces. Both girls, one with blood colored hair and pale skin, the other a sunny tan and snow white hair. Headline style letters across the screen read " GENETIC FREAKS ON THE LOOSE, REWARD OFFERED FOR CAPTURE". Then right after they turned on the set, the woman held the microphone out to Brisbane.

" Yes, that's right" Brisbane said in a sickly sweet voice, the kind a conman or sex offender uses when they're trying to get what they want our of you, " These girls were genetic super soldiers I created in hopes of creating a new defense force for our country, but now I'm afraid they've gone AWOL. If anyone sees them, please do not be fooled by they're appearance, they are incredibly dangerous."

"Madman's lying through his teeth…" Butch seethed, how anyone could believe this guy. Oh yeah, the evil acting skills all psychos seemed to have, he was making 2 girls that had just gotten out into the world and were probably gleefully exploring with childlike naïveté sound like the spawn of Satan! Butch wanted to pound the mans face in… more than he usually did at least.

On the screen, Brisbane continued lying to the public.

" I warn all those who may come in contact with these girls to take extreme caution. They are hostile beings that do not know how the world works, and they must be captured for punishment and retraining."

All 3 Ruffs trembled with an anger they had never felt at the mans words and lies and biting comments all obviously part of an elaborate ruse to kidnap their sisters back to turn them into mindless robots that would obey his every command. For fleeting seconds they sincerely considered committing first degree murder and making sure no one found Brisbane's body. As the man that had revived them, then tried to ruin their lives continued to taunt them from the screen, speaking in the Devils tongue, especially as a sick smirk spread across the Mad-man's face.

" And as I have already mentioned, whoever returns my escaped experiments to me, regardless of anything they have done in the past, including criminal record… will be rewarded… quite handsomely."

They heard no more, mainly because Brick lost it and shot an energy orb at the TV in his barley controlled rage. In addition to a new TV Weasel now also needed a new coffee table after Butch had smashed his through with his fist before cursing Brisbane at the top of his lung. All the while Boomer stared strait ahead, face blank with a hint of anger, and fists clenched. They didn't fully understand why they were so enraged, but they new this much: should anything happen to their sisters, John Brisbane would pay a hefty price, they would make sure of it.

-Meanwhile, somewhere in Ohio-

Burn happily strolled through the convenience store with Blast, they were stocking up on foods more tasty than the canned fruit they'd been eating for the past few days. She just couldn't contain a childlike joy that descended on her heart, it was only a matter of time before they met their brothers, and she couldn't wait.

But then her happy mood fled as quickly as it had come. An odd chill seemed to settle all around Burn, the kind of chill one gets walking alone on empty streets in the middle of the night. She felt scared, as if the entire world, save for her sister, and was against her. She hugged herself, trying to shoo the chill away.

" Burn?" Blast asked, looking up from the rows of snack food at her trembling twin, " Hey are you ok?"

Burn shook her head furiously, then looked up at Blast with her trademark sunny smile, "it's nothing Nee-Chan it's nothing at all." The magenta ruff answered. But the chill was still there, and deep inside it was like a tiny voice was calling out to her. It said to trust no one but her sister, that no one but her twin was worthy of trust.

And she just knew, that at least at this moment, that was the one thing she could conceive as truth, the only thing.
