This can't be happening.

But as Brick pulled up outside the old Townsvile scrapyard the reality dawned on me. It was deserted, as I expected. The darkening sky and freezing wind only made my fear grow. Bellamie had been left with her aunts and uncles and I was sure she was well protected. Before we had left me and Brick had grabbed a few guns and on the way here I had strategically thought through all of my fighting skills.

We didn't really have a plan. Which unnerved me, I always had a plan, and a back up plan for that. But I couldn't plan this, I didn't know anything about it. I had made a few rough outlines of possibilities and how I would be able to get around them but everything was 10 times harder without our powers. We couldn't just fly away, bullets wouldn't bounce off us, no one could harm us. But now they could and that very though shot ice through my veins.

I was brought out of my thoughts with Brick opening his car door. We hadn't said a word to each other on the way here, and I don't think we could. Fear laced our thoughts for our daughter and each other. Speaking and someone could say the wrong thing to make the other loose all nerve.

Silently I followed suit and joined him at the scrap yard gate. The pad lock on it was already broken. Meaning they where here. I grabbed Bricks arm and gave him a slight squeeze, he turn round and planted a kiss on my forehead without looking at me. Which gave me some sort of comfort.

"Stay close to me" He whispered, I nodded my head as we walked in. I shivered in anticipation, fear and cold. The wind was like a smack in the face as the coldness lashed at our bodies. We where both wearing black trousers which enabled a lot of movement with our guns tucked into them; I had a pink top on and a black agent jacket that I had from the agency that was able to stash more fire power. Brick was almost the same however with a red top and he wasn't wearing a jacket.

Walking around the piles of rubbish and junk I kept on guard, watching our backs in case of an ambush. Then I picked up on muffled dialogue and the shifting if bodies, I stopped dead and tried to listen further.

"What are you doing?" Brick whispered

"Don't you hear that? Hear them?" I whispered back urgently the sound was a lot more prominent now, he undoubtedly should be able to hear it. He stopped and I could see him straining to hear what I could although he had no reason to, it was definitely obvious now.

"No" He replied, I gave him an bewildered look and walked over to him.

"There's 5 of them, all men, they have guns and there planning on kidnapping us" I inform him becoming a little irritated I had to explain myself when it was so obvious to hear them. Brick looked at me baffeled. He looked round and saw the stop something, he twitched his head to the left and I followed his motion. He mentioned to the top of the scrap pile, I seemed to get his idea and smirked to which he replied with his own.

I followed him as he took the lead sticking my feet into gaps that where sturdy enough to hold my weight. The creaking sounds made me uncomfortable from the strain my weigh had on some pieces of metal.

'Crack'

I felt my foot slip before I heard the noise, I scrambled to grab onto something before falling backward to the far away ground below. I quickly catch a shard of metal that straight away slices my hand, I let out a small yelp and grit my teeth pulling myself up the shard going further into my skin. Then relief, I feel Brick grab my arm pure determination and fear etched across his face and drags me up. I let go of the piece of metal and swiftly reach the top before inspecting my hand.

I hiss, it was a pretty nasty cut fairly deep with bits of dirt around it. Brick grabs my arm examining my hand carefully. Then he dose something rather unexpected and licks right across my hand engulfing the cut itself, blood surrounds his mouth and layers his tongue. I feel rather disgusted.

"What are you doing?" I squeak

"Cleaning it! You get an infection in something this deep and your fucked babe to put it lightly" He hisses back, I think about it logically and it made sense. Gross sense. He grabs the ends of his shirt and gives it a tug ripping the end clean off. He then wraps the red cloth around my hand concealing the blood and protecting it.

"Thank you" I said gratefully kissing him lightly on the lips. He nods and we get back to business.

Looking out over the scrap yard we could see the entire yard, which might I add was a fair few miles. I listened again to try and pin point where they where, I found them easy enough and looked to where the sound was. I gasped out loud, shocked with how fair away they where.

They where at least a good mile and half away from where we was, there was no way I should be able to hear them talking and no way should have been able to have detailed things about them just from listening to them!

Brick seemed as dumbfounded as me. I looked at him confused when something in my mind snapped together. Experimenting I picked up a piece of scrap metal and as if it was play dough moulded it into a knot. I began breathing deeply and a rush a energy, power and excitement flooded my body.

Slowly I focus and felt that oh so familiar feeling of weightlessness spread through my body. Carefully I felt my body leave the scrap heap me and Brick had been laying on. I was flying.

I couldn't catch my breath I was so ecstatic the feeling a power surging through my veins was incredible. I could stop these 'thugs', I could save myself and Brick, I could save my family, I could save Bellamie!

I looked down to see Brick more or less jumping down the scrap heap towards the ground. However his foot got caught and he went tumbling down, horror stricken and before I could react I saw Brick throw his arms to the side of him and... he stopped.

He stopped mid air. He twisted he head to look at me his eyes bulging, I was speechless. I watched as he moved his body and floated towards the ground.

Like a stretching a once forgotten muscle I floated down to Brick with ease and landed at his side.

"What's going on?" I splutter unable to comprehend the last 2 minuets.

A long silence stretched out.

My mind couldn't piece together this puzzle I was in too much shock my mind had melted and I couldn't think straight. Brick cleared his throat.

"I- I think I get it"

There are times such as these he completes me in every which way. When I can't function he manages to pick me back up. I cocked an eyebrow urging him to continue.

"Well Bella has powers right?" I nod robotically "Well this is only a theory but I'm guessing some of the chemical x that was fused into her body from us has no doubt been passed through to you" He explained.

It was a good explanation. Very good and most likely true but...

"Okay... but that still doesn't explain how you just flew!"

Brick furrows his brow evident that he was scrambling his brain for answers as was I, then it hits me.

"My blood"

Brick doesn't even look at me.

"Think about it, If I have chemical x in my blood that's the only way it would pass to you! And what did you do no less than 5 minuets ago?" I question, realisation dawns on Brick's face quickly then a mischievous and malicious grin spreads wickedly across his face.

"What powers do you have?"

Scrambling my brains thinking of all my powers I once had, I sucked in a breath and breathed out strongly. Nothing. Oh.

Trying again I tried to heat up my laser vision, Nothing again. Hm.

Maybe I was just rusty?

"No ice breath and No heat vision" I inform him "You?"

Brick tries a few things to come to the conclusion that he could fly and have his super strength back (a fact he was so joyous about.)

Brick then began thinking hard and rubbing his finger and thumb on his chin.

"Okay he's the plan..."

"Hold on! Now? Now you decide to make a plan? What was the one before?" I interrupt rather taken a back.

"I didn't have one before because I didn't know what to expect and we where most likely outnumbered but now... we have a chance" He smirks he devilish smirk I haven't seen for years so I reply with my own.

We spent a few minutes calculating strategies between us before deciding to find them. I wanted to see if we where bulletproof again as then we had absolutely nothing to lose, however Brick venomously refused to try the theory. The walk didn't take long as I expertly guided us to the people who no doubt wanted me and my family dead.

The very thought made my blood boil.

We just had one corner to round before we began face to face, their voices crystal clear now and steadily and confidently we rounded the corner. As soon as I saw him I already knew, Milo the thug who kidnapped me all those months ago for his bitterness over his lost money.

"Well well, you actually showed. Suffice to say I really did think you would chicken out, but I should know to no underestimate you my dear"

Oh you have no idea! I though feeling the power flow through me as if backing me up.

Milo clasps his hands together and begins a slow walk towards us.

"Now, I'm giving you a task... you have to make my money up in 2 days if you don't I will literally rip your family apart, starting with Bel-"

I didn't give him time to finish as I lunged for him.

My speed gave me the advantage and caught everyone off guard and my fist smashed with Milo's face. Brick was behind me in the same second.

"BLOSSOM!"

A high pitched voiced scratched my eardrums, walking from behind a cluster of men the woman who got me into all this mess appeared.

Her red hair was now a shade darker and was hanging to her waist however the tips had been dyed black, her forehead was still as shiny as ever and her sense of fashion was still the old ratty same, with barely any of it covering her body. Her eyes bore into mine.

"Princess" I seethed both out of shock and detest.

"Surprised to see me? Yeah I'm sure" Her nasally voice drawled

"What are you doing bitch?" Brick snarled, Milo was steadily picking himself off the floor and if I had paid more attention I might have seen some sort of signal to set my intuition off. But I was so focused on Princess my senses weren't as sharp.

"Now now Brick, such language to an old flame!" She gasped in mock horror, I felt a growl rise in my chest.

"You threw yourself at me and I still turned you down! I highly doubt that would qualify as any sort of relationship!" Brick was close behind me so I could heard his low breathing to calm himself.

"Puh-lease!" Princess flicked her hair, then looked at me "You ruined me! You took everything from me, just because you couldn't keep your nose out! I'm slowly rebuilding my empire but to succeed I need you two and your family off the map!"

I narrowed my eyes my right hand twitching, Milo got to his feet and pulled out a gun. As soon as I saw it Brick had already shoved two Magnum 44's into my hands. Brick now stood at my side his own two guns in his hands as we positioned them to the mob in front of us.

We where drastically outnumbered.

"Listen, I'll give Milo his fun and his little task for you. It will be fun to see you squirm. And I'll tell you what I'm a loving, perfect, generous human being so I'm going to give you a proposition. Do Milo's task, if you fail..." She had walked right up to my face in-between my two guns which I still had aimed at Milo's gang.

"I will kill you... If you succeed you must leave... leave and never return, and your precious family lives"

She left her sentence hanging in the air and I had let my arms drop to my side slowly. My mind racing.

If I do this I can leave and let Bella grow up with a normal childhood, however I would always be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life. If I take care of this now, problem solved. But that's not so easy with so many people and only two of us, even if we have our powers back they woud be able to detain us long enough to send people after Buttercup, Butch, Bubbles, Boomer and Bella and they don't even have powers, minus the latter.

If they haven't sent people already.

And my intuition wasn't kicking in as strong as it should.

I turn to look at Brick, connecting to his red eyes that mirrored little Bella. I needed his strength more than ever. What do we do? I could see my torment reflected in his face too, but then a flicker of hope flashed across his face. It was him silently telling me we can do this. We can save our family and daughter, he had my back and I had his I couldn't trust and connect to someone so deeply and seriously other than him and right now and we where going to beat this battle together. Because our love for each other and the ones we care about out balanced every other thought, consuming us both completely there was no other option.

I smirked at Brick, and turned back to Princess who was smiling victorious at me.

"Well?"

"Time to die bitch"

Then the chaos began.

Bullets flew across the space, some missing and some connecting. But the immense satisfaction when the bullet flick off me like a grain of rice felt like I had conquered everest, and even more so when Brick remained unscathed too. The bullet hurt and no doubt was going to leave one heck of a bruise but for the meantime we where okay.

The mobsters ran at us throwing us in hand to hand contact. More men surrounded Brick as I watched him in quick glances throwing men off him. I was brought back to my own battle when a foot was smashed into my stomach doubling me over.

Hm it seemed as if human contact still hurt.

So I had to remember my agent training, a sturdy man charged at me throwing a punch to my face I quickly countered it ducking under him and kicking him square where the sun doesn't shine.

"Atta girl!" I hear Brick yell, but I don't have time to reply and a huge bulky man comes and straight picks me up off the floor by my shoulders and hoists me above his head. Before I can maneuver my way out of it he throws me to the floor, knocking the wind out of me.

He aims his gun (as do most of them) and fire at me. However a car is thrown in front of me shielding the bullets, Brick comes flying down and few hits bouncing of him and scoops me in his arms.

"Are you okay?" He asked worry lacing his words, I catch my breath.

"Yeah, where's Milo and Princess?" Brick looks clueless and my eyes widen...

"Bellamie"

In unison we kick the car sending it skidding along the scarp yard and into the men knocking them back like skittles. Wasting no time we zoom to the scrap yard entrance to find half of the cars had already disappeared.

Leaving the car we take to the skies flying as fast as we could to Buttercups house. I could hear my heart beating in my ears and I felt so nauseous. I take Bricks hand shakily and he squeezes it in reassurance.

We reach Buttercup and Butch's house and my blood freezes.

The door had been forced open.

Walking in slowly the tears had already escaped my eyes. The place had been destroyed. The couch was on its side, the curtains ripped, pots and pans scattered across the room, the TV had a crack through it, pictures smashed and the dining chairs where scattered along the house.

"NO!" I wail, Brick puts his arms around me to keep me standing.

"Hey look" Brick whispers, I see a DVD disk sitting in the middle of the untouched coffee table with the word 'WATCH' scribbled across it.

Brick silently slips the disk into the DVD player and it begins instantly. The picture rips my heart.

"Hey mommy, Hey daddy"

Milo's voice fills the room, he's holding Bella in his arms who has tears rolling down her little face.

"Look who we have hear!" He makes a happy face towards Bella who cries all the more "Bella say hi to mummy and daddy won't you?"

"MUMMY! DADDY!" She screams, I collapse to the floor giant sobs racking my body as I watch the screen.

'WHACK!'

"AHHH!"

The noise from the background was undoubtedly someone being knocked out and I feared to imagine which one of our sibling it was. Bella looked towards the noise and screamed and cried at the same time.

"You want her? You know the task" Milo threatened

"DADDY!" Bella screamed to the camera stretching her little arms and fingers towards it before it went black.

"Brick! Brick!" I cried, he slowly joined me on the floor and eloped me in his arms as I completely broke down on him. He didn't move and didn't say anything and I looked at his face.

He was crying.

Brick Jojo was crying.

I gripped onto his shirt and pulled myself up so I was looking him in the face the both of us on our knees. I put his face in my hand and looked at him, his beautiful eyes where closed and tears where rolling down his strong flawless face.

"Brick look at me" I croaked tears also rolling down my eyes, slowly he looked at me and I have never seen a man look so broken.

"Where going to find her, where going to get her back" I hiccup

"She yelled for me... she needed me and I wasn't there. She screamed for me-" Brick closed his eyes and slumped lower casting a hand over his face. It took all my energy to make him look at me again.

"We need to go save her, we'll get her back. She's ours! No one can take her away!"

"But where do we start?" Brick snaps I ignore it due to the current situation and feel all hope drift from my body at his words. I look round the shattered room and see something scribbled on the wall. Walking over someone had quickly scribbled

'The Warehouse BB'

Blinking I looked down to see the byro the person had used. The Warehouse? I gasped THE WAREHOUSE!

"THE WAREHOUSE!" I yelled, Brick looked up at me.

"There at the Warehouse!" I scream

"How the fuck do you know?" I point to the 'note'

"Bubbles! She wrote where they had been taken, most likely that was her who was knocked out on the video!" I see life and hope flood back through Brick as he stands and my own confidence soars too.

"Let's go get our family back" Brick says.

He grabs my hand and where out of the door.

Wow! A lot of things happened here! So the story is flowing again!

Let me know your thoughs!

Much love!
