Brick: she owns nothing but the plot and some OC's

Chapter 5: New Developments

POV Bubbles

"A week! It's been a whole damned week and we still ain't got shit" Butch stood up from the monitors we had set up. We had came from school not that long ago.

Boomer turned around as he twirled his pen as if it was a drum stick and pointed it to Butch, "Dude chill, we have the rest of the month."

"Deadlines are closer than you think" Blossom pointed out without taking her eyes off the screen.

"Hey um I got something. Two of our suspects, Isaac and Jordan, are in the library in opposite ends on computers. It may be something it may not, but better safe than sorry." I said from my station. "Wait hold on another one, Alaric, walked in and sat down. Ok something is definitely up. Jackson is the only one missing, which makes sense since there is basketball practice going on."

"I just looked into it what they're doing, nothing big really." Brick walked behind Blossom at her station. "Isaac is studying. Alaric is in the Hot Topic web page…."

"Jordan is getting on with some chick in an online chat" Brick interrupted earning a death glare from Blossom.

"You need to learn to keep it inside your pants for once" Blossom said with a very stern voice.

"Oh c'mon Red" He pleaded

"No do not 'Oh c'mon, Red' me mister I'm serious. Remember the Miami incident. The Bahamas encounter." Frost was beginning form under Blossoms palms.

"The babes you can't forget the Venice Beach babe fight he caused" Butch interjected giving him a fist bump. He was leaning back on his chair enjoying this way too much, I, on the other hand, couldn't be more nervous. Usually when they fight there's fire and ice clashing everywhere.

Blossom continued "On our last mission we were almost compromised because you were found with our targets daughter…IN BED! And don't even get me started in our scouting mission in Puerto Vallarta. I can't believe I walked in on you with that one girl in MY BEDROOM DOING ALL THO-"

"May I remind you that, that was our room we were sharing"

"OKAAYY!" BC cut Blossom off. "This is obviously between the two of you. We're leaving." Everyone, but Butch, was heading out. I was out the door when I heard BC. "Butch, Out NOW!" I turned back to look at them.

"But it was just getting good" he whined. BC went and dragged him.

"Um Buttercup do you think it's a good idea to leave them alone?" I asked my sister.

"Of course. Plus they have serious issues." Boomer came up and put his arm around me.

"I guess you're right" I looked up to meet his deep blue eyes. He gave me the smile that makes my heart burst with joy. I can let him know though I can't be selfish and risk our friendship. I hadn't noticed that BC and Butch had left.

"Well…do you want to watch a movie since those two are bickering in our work space" he was so shy it's so adorable.

"Okay"

Blossom POV

"What the hell is wrong with you?!"

Brick really has ticked me off today. Who does he think he is? Flirting and seducing all those poor girls. "What the hell is wrong with me?! What the hell is wrong with YOU?! God you can be soo irresponsible."

"Look Red I'm just having fun" I could see the palms of his hands heating up.

"Oh really 'fun.' I am NOT going to let you compromise this mission because you were just 'having fun.' I AM TIRED OF YOU WITH ALL THE GIRLS! Quit acting as if we are not in a mission!" All around me ice is forming. Unintentionally, I throw a few shards of ice, but he catches it and melts it almost instantaneous like always.

"I'M OUT HAVING FUN BECAUSE…BECAUSE never mind fuck this" he made his way to the door. I used my telekinesis to lock the door.

"NO you are NOT getting away that easy. Why?!" I looked down all my frustration dying down. Why does he want all those girls? Why when he has me? Why can't he just love me like I love him?! Blood drain from my face. Damn I hope he wasn't hearing my thoughts.

"I'M HAVING FUN BECAUSE…I DON'T WANT TO GET ATTACHED" His shoulders slumped down in defeat. "I don't want to get attached because none of those girls are you" the last part came out a whisper. His red eyes met mine. Next thing I know he is nearly running towards me. He pushes a strand of my hair back and before I have time to react I feel his lips on mine. His lips were very warm. He pushed me to the edge of the desk behind me. He used his other hand go around my waist pulling me in closer. I sank deeper into the kiss wrapping my hands around his neck pulling him closer to me. My heart was beating faster than a humming bird's wings. I twirled one of his strands of hair and yanked it playfully. I could feel that wicked smile of his on my lips. Alas the kiss ended too soon Brick pressed his forehead onto mines. "I love you, Red. There's no one who has my heart other than you."

"I love you too" we stayed in that position for a while longer. When he separate he noticed the temperature was different and everything was steaming.

"Well I guess now we know what happens when you mix ice and fire" he told me then placed a kiss on my head. "So what do you think?"

I was very confused since we weren't really talking about something in particular. "About?"

"You being my official girlfriend?"

"Hhmmm I don't know" I saw the color drain from his face in disbelief. "I'm kidding of course I would love to be your girlfriend" He took me in his arms again by my waist and gave me another kiss. I pulled back first "see even 'The Ice Queen' has jokes."

"Okay now that we have that out lets call our siblings to continue with the mission." We went out to the kitchen where we found Butch eating chips and Buttercup a sandwich, but they looked very suspicious. I looked into my sister's mind, but everything she is thinking is random stuff. Did she know I was going to look through?

'They were spying on us. Butch tends to be easy to read. He is hiding the monitor in the bag. He keeps looking into it barely eating.' I had grown so used to hearing Brick's voice in my head that I didn't mind much. I looked over to Butch and Brick was right. 'Aren't I always' I could hear the cockiness seeping out like a waterfall.

"So Buttercup and Butch what have you guys been up to." Brick questions them first.

Buttercup and Butch respond simultaneously "nothing."

"Ok then I'm craving some chips. Bro pass them over." Brick said leaning against the counter.

"Um there's um none left yeah sorry bro" Butch said while shrugging his shoulders

"We know you guys were spying by the way" my sister quickly looked at Butch as soon as I said that.

"Idiot didn't I tell you to think of random things!" Buttercup exclaimed at him.

"He was but he kept looking into the bag and every time he did his mind slipped up a bit" Brick smiled triumphantly. "Anyways go and keep looking at the monitors we're going to go get Boomer and Bubbles." Butch and Buttercup went on their way, but every once in a while pushing and shoving each other. Brick and I made our way to living room where we heard "Frozen" playing, Bubbles favorite movie.

Butch POV

We walked in to the room we have the monitors and everything seems to be cooling down, there's almost no steam left. "Wow I was not expecting that" I looked over to BC.

"Eh I always saw those two sneaking peaks at each other. So I did see it coming eventually. Butch you need to learn to be more observant. You are a spy, aren't ya."

"You know we are mostly training to be assassins, spying that's your job" I smirked as I made my way over to my monitor.

"May I remind you every once in a while we go to train with you guys" she used her "as-a-matter-of-fact" voice God I hated when she was right. I started scanning through the monitor to see if anything had changed. When I looked into the library the guys weren't there anymore.

"Fucking shit! You've got to be kidding me!" I rewind all the footage to when they leave the building.

At this point BC is behind me, "Pause it. Look right there that's Jackson. I'm guessing that they were waiting on him. I'm going to go tell everyone else they couldn't have gone far and we're going to follow them" she grabbed her black leather jacket and headed out the door.

Boomer POV

Rushing, I made my way to my motorcycle. Thank God they got here three days after we arrived, my brothers and I love our motorcycles. "Butch Brick, y'all know where we're going?" I adjusted my ear piece.

"Yea, the Puffs will be speaking to us from headquarters, keeping track of the subjects plus Brick here search for them mentally" Butch started to put his helmet on.

"Um guys you have to get a move on. Blossom hacked the traffic cams are has eyes on the target. Make your way to the mini mart towards the school" BC's voice came through the headset.

After a few more turns BC advise us to hide our bikes and go on foot. We went into an alley to hide the bikes. 'They are no more than a block away extend your hearing and eyesight we cannot be spotted. We need to see who they are meeting. Look there's some stairs to the roof of this building.' We made our way to the roof and on queue we see the targets walk into a coffee shop.

"Guys a tree is blocking our view of you we can't watch behind y'all. Keep them in sight see and hear what they are doing and please be alert" we heard Bubbles.

"Don't worry sweet cheeks we are big boys" Butch spoke into his mic something of him calling her that bugged me. "We are assassins not spies. I don't see how the Puffs couldn't do this they are better trained." He complained while we squatted to get more coverage.

"Hey knucklehead your mic is still on. By the way you guys have motorcycles and we don't" BC voice rang with sass. We kept our hearing and sights on the targets.

Two hours pass by and nothing happens they just separate and go their own way. "Guys you can head back to headquarters. We have a problem" we heard Blossom's voice came through.

Blossom was being very sketchy right now. She told our brothers to separate as a safety precaution. I was a few blocks away from the condo when a girl with wavy chocolate brown hair with a pink streak on a skateboard crossed my path. I tried my best to not hit her, but I still nick her board sending her to the side walk. I recognized her from the school. I parked my bike by her and got into character. "Are you ok? I didn't mean to hit you."

"No no it's my fault I wasn't looking" I offered my hand to put her on her feet again. She was pretty. She grab her board now in two pieces. "Damn it. Sorry you look familiar. Wait aren't you one of those six exchange students."

"I'll replace it for you like I said it was my fault and yes my name is William, but please call me Will. May I ask for yours?"

She put a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Name's Nancy." She gave me a small smile. Yup definitely cute.

"Let me give you a ride to where ever you were going." Her smile widen.

"Alright I was going home I don't live far from here."

When I get to the condo everyone is working like crazy. "What is going?"

"While you were on your little trip we were here doing our job" Bubbles was expectantly cold. She threw a piece of paper onto my desk. I looked at it and it's encoded. The message read:

Fa zsofb fhs hfghv opcgf fhs zwbs, zccy poqy wb fuys wbhc mcif cib obqsghfm.

"What does it mean?" Bubbles came to pluck it from my hands.

"That is what we are trying to figure out" geez what is wrong with her? I grab her and go outside the room. "Ok what is wrong with you did I do something?"

"Nope, I am completely fine" and with that she turned walked away. I followed suit.

"Got it!" Blossom got up and went to put it up on display for everyone. "Ok so this was the original message" she started pointing at it "I did some cross references and found a pattern. It turned out to be this." She changed letters and the result turned out to be something uncanny.

"To learn the truth about the line, look back in time into your own ancestry. We were all made not born. What the hell does that mean?" Brick said getting up to get a better look.

"I don't know, but I have a very bad feeling about this" Blossom turned around to face everyone. I saw something in her eyes I hadn't seen since the day their father passed away: pure fear.

Me: Shout out to whoever reviewed what they wanted to see you guys really helped me get out of my little hole. I'm trying to be more consistent in updating sorry that I take such a long time typing these chapters up.

Brick: I finally got with a cutie.

Blossom: Oh shush *playful shove*

BC: Anyways comment and review.
