Chapter 7: Cover Blown
POV Blossom
"Bubbles what on earth were you thinking bringing her here?!" I nodded at Nancy, who has looking around in a daze at our temporary HQ.
"What was I supposed to do?! Our cover is already blown plus she actually saw what happen first hand" I pinched the bridge of her nose.
"You she is right, but at the same time this means that we have to tell random chick here everything she needs to know. For example how we're aren't English" Buttercup chimed in keeping her arms crossed.
"Fine! But how do you know she isn't in on all this," my sisters looked at each other, I know that look. "No I am NOT doing that."
"Look Bloss you're the only one with that type of power"
"I would be invading her privacy, and apart from that everything she has felt her entire life I would feel that the hate, the fear, the pain" I thought back to Vanessa the first life I ever invaded when my 'gift' came out when I was fourteen. Vanessa the depressed young girl I met on one of our days off at the park. She looked like any other girl, except she had a long sleeved shirt when temperatures were smoldering. I had just paid for a bottle water when I turned around and bumped into her. *She had one of the worst life I could ever imagine. Drunk dad that beat her up whenever he got home, a junky drug dazed mother, and a stepbrother crept into her room every night and took advantage of her. After her brother would leave she would look for her razor she kept in her night stand then she cried herself to sleep EACH night. School wasn't better she was bullied constantly. She had one friend who tried her best to defend her. I…I felt everything she felt and….and it changed me; I was never fully happy after that. That day I bumped into her she was on her way to a bridge. Dad always told me protect those who cannot protect themselves, even when the person you need to protect them from is themselves. I managed to change her mind and kept tabs on her. Every weekend I would meet with her. However it wasn't enough. A few months later when we were in summer vacation back home in Townsville, I got the call. Vanessa was no longer with us. I blamed myself for not being there for her. Yes, I called and we talked, but I let her down I wasn't enough.* my sisters knew everything that had happened. They handled the damage control afterwards. A sob escaped out of me. Silent tears streamed down my face. When had they started? I have no idea.
"Hey it wasn't your fault," I hadn't even felt Bubbles come around to me.
"You tried your best sis" even Buttercup came around "but right now the boys are counting on us so you're going to have to look into this girl."
I nodded my head "you're right" wiped the last tears, stood up straight and walked over to Nancy. "Here goes everything you need to know. We are not from England. We are agents in training. Our real names are Buttercup Utonium, Bubbles Utonium, and I am Blossom Utonium" I pointed at my sisters. "And the boys' real names are Brick Jojo, Butch Jojo, and Boomer Jojo. They are assassins in training. We were sent here to on a scouting mission only to be the eye and ears of our agency. Obviously things have gone sour. Another think my sisters and myself, as well as our partners, aren't normal. We each have gifts. I can't go into details right now so we'll tell you our strongest gifts. I have chryokinesis and other mental abilities. Chryokinesis means I can control, make, move, ect… ice."
"I have fulminokinesis and aquakinesis. I can control electricity and water" Bubbles chimed from behind.
"I have geokinesis and metallokinesis. I can control the earth and anything metal." Pride was oozing off of Buttercup.
"The guys have pretty much the same abilities. Except for Brick instead of chryokinesis he has pyrokinesis."
"Um honestly I had a feeling you guys were normal. The first days I saw you something was off. Then you and Hai—Brick passed by me there were temperature changes like crazy. Then in gym I saw her" she pointed at Buttercup "and everything seemed to bend for her. I always thought it was my imagination. Then the day I met her" she pointed at Bubbles "I literally saw sparks around her. However the only guy I sensed was Brick" her face was contorted in confusion.
"Well now I need to see what you saw happen and it's just a precaution to make up we can trust you, but a heads up once I touch you I will know every single moment of your life" even then she still offered her hand to me.
"I know you need the information in my head, so I don't mind" wow this chick knew her priorities. I grabbed her hand and was sucked into her life. Everything was good she was in a happy home. Both her parents were still alive. Midwife for a mom and lawyer for a dad. She had a sister and a brother they get along, but that's about it. Then I see her getting her first skateboard I felt her excitement, then her shyness when she met Thea and Lena in sixth grade, then it went to feeling the sadness when her pet fish died, to feeling of her getting her first kiss from a boy named Maxon in middle school, but never really telling anyone that he was her first kiss. There was something off of her memories, I saw things in her mind that makes her different. I can't pinpoint it, but it may have something to do with her being able to sense us. At last after many emotions and memories I got to this morning. I saw everything play out like she did.
I let go of her hand and I couldn't stop shaking. "I don't recognize the men that took our boyfriends, but I do recognize the woman. Girls you will too. What is the number one thing to do in a location?"
"Observing the environment" Buttercup spoke up.
Then Bubbles "anything and everything is a clue."
"Ok think back to Dean Tasley's office. What is in the back wall between the windows and above all her degrees?"
Bubbles gasped "No way!"
"Well shit! Do we contact Tasley to tell her, HER SISTER took our partners?" Buttercup started pacing around the room.
"Girls at this point we don't know who to trust so it would be—"something cut me off and came through our system.
"If you want your boyfriends back, we gave you a clue. You know what to do. No harm will come to them and we'll give them up to you. Solve the riddle and you'll know what happened many years ago," I ran to the computer to try to get a location.
"Blossom whats going on?!" Buttercup yelled from across the room.
"Someone is overriding our system!" I kept trying everything I had learned, but nothing was working.
The voice continued "However, we need our leaders, for after three years, our heirs' safety has been our biggest fear. You have twenty-four hours to find us with the riddle complete. But before you find us, look into where you sleep." And with that everything became normal again.
"Do these people only speak in rhyme? It is very annoying" Buttercup was fuming.
"What the hell was that?!" Nancy looked as if she was about to pass out I had almost forgotten she was here.
"That is something we need to solve. Let's see solve the riddle…solve the riddle…solve-," then it clicked I grabbed my tablet and made the riddle big. "Girls remember this 'To learn the truth about the line, look back in time into your own ancestry.' This is our riddle," I went to stand in front of the holographic projector to try to decipher the riddle.
"And like Butch said we were made, not born." Then she turned to Nancy who was in shock "yeeaa we were all experiments. Did we missed that part?" all she did was nod her head.
I went back to business "Buttercup you're thinking way to literal this is a riddle! The only thing that is confusing is that I have no idea whose ancestry they are talking about. Ours or the guys." I started to chew on my nails as my thoughts came and went.
*8 Hours Later: 16 Hours Left*
"Let's go back to the day we were given this assignment. Dean Tasley said we are dealing with the mafia, remember?" Nancy squeaked, but Bubbles continued "so wouldn't it make sense if they are talking about the boys. Because if I do recall correctly we hated them for a good reason" Bubbles said in a-matter-of-fact voice.
"Wait you used to hate y'alls boyfriends? Why?" Nancy seemed very confused.
"As we were made, they were made not long after to fight us at their father's will. We were sworn enemies. They were evil we weren't. Then there was the kissing issue which made our counterparts hate us a little more than the rest. For example after the kiss incident Butch seemed to hate me more than my little sisters, Brick hated Blossom the most out of the three, and Boomer hated Bubbles. Huh I guess we forgot to mention that as well" Buttercups never looks back at her as she speaks.
"But they are your boyfriends now, aren't they?"
"Yes, turned out they hated us because they loved us. Anyways so what are we looking for exactly? All we know is that Mojo created them, but HIM brought them back from the dead" we heard Nancy gasp. "Last thing, we killed the boys before. That kiss incident was their death, but they came back so it's fine" Nancy reached her limit and fainted. "Bubbles—"
"Already on it" Bubbles went to pick her up and placed her out of sight. She came back "she hit her head pretty hard she'll be out for a while other than that she's fine."
"Wait a minute" everything started to process like crazy in my head. Mojo Mojo Mojo's past well he used to be just like any other monkey before he messed around in the professor's lab. The professor. I felt my eyes widen I feel so stupid. How could I have over looked this? I pulled up the latest message up. I skimmed through it 'we need our leaders, for after three years, our heirs' safety has been our biggest fear.'
"Blossom you're mumbling again," I barely heard Buttercup, but I was too concentrated.
"Shhh," I kept thinking. Three years, the professor died three years ago. What happened that day? Let's see we were told he died of cardiac arrest, but what if he was murdered and they made it seem natural. Then the bank account all that money. How stupid could I have been? "Girls…we, us and the boys, are the heirs the riddle speaks of. Look it make sense no matter whose past we look at. The boys were made by Mojo which is where ancestry is located. Who raised Mojo when he was just a normal monkey? And according to the riddle they haven't had a leader for three years. " I raised my eyebrows at them.
"The Professor" Buttercup said with shock in her eyes.
"Dad" Bubble's response was barely above a whisper.
"Girls they need a leaders and it's either us or the boys" I started to pace around the room, I heard Nancy wake up to her phone in the background. Let's see 'But before you find us, look into where you sleep' it's obviously talking about a room, but which?
Nancy walked in "Can I leave my mom is wondering where I'm at what do I tell her?"
"You are staying with us" Buttercup crossed her arms "you know too much. Bubbles will speak with her, she has a gift to persuading people with her voice." Bubbles took her phone; five minutes later, she was back with a smile.
"Not only are you staying here tonight. You're staying with us till we say it's ok to come back." It was now Bubbles turn to show her pride.
"You are actually more intuitive than you think. I saw something in your head I'm not sure what it is, but you have a gift. We can use someone like yourself at our school" there was no more time to waste we have less than sixteen hours to figure this out and get the boys back.
"Girls spill up and search each room, the boys room included. Nancy there is cable go crazy. Search your own room before going into the boys' room." I turned to go to my room.
*14 Hours Left*
"Girls find anything?!" I did a final quick sweep of my own room.
"Nothing in my room," Bubbles came first.
"Or mine," Buttercup came next.
"Then it has to be in the boys room," we each go into our boyfriends' rooms.
*12 Hours Left*
"Nothing! What the hell?!" I let out my frustration onto Brick's bed. I automatically grab his pillow and smile to myself. He never travels anywhere without it. I wonder what the story behind it is. I press it to my nose it still smells of him. The smile disappeared as soon as it came; I really missed Brick I wonder what's going on with them. I take a closer look at the pillow it looks familiar, but I can't quite—"
"Got something! It may not be here, but it won't hurt to try," Buttercup got us out the room. She was holding a note book. "Look a thing about Butch is that he liked to solve riddles. He kept them in here. It may be a long shot, but it wouldn't hurt."
"Alright let's start solving these" Bubbles sounded nearly defeated.
POV Brick
When I gain consciousness the first thing I sense is the chains binding my wrist to the floor and well the floor. I opened my eyes to see my brothers still unconscious. I stand up and start yanking the chain, but it's no use the metal is stronger than anything I've dealt with so I back down. I register the room we're in: grey walls, no windows, wooden pillars, stairs to the far right, overall empty. Most likely a basement. Extending my hearing does nothing: sound proof walls?
I hear grunting coming from Butch to my left. "Damn what happen one minute we're fighting the next I wake up on the cold floor."
"Yeah I was about to ask that myself," Boomer rolled onto his back. We hear the door open and heels clicking down the stairs followed by other footsteps. A woman with burgundy hair comes down followed by men. As she got closer I realized I had seen her before in a photograph in Mrs. Tasley's office: it was her sister. We all get up simultaneously.
"Calm down boys we're not here to hurt you." She walk towards us but still kept her distance.
"Then why have us chained up to the floor?" I retorted.
"Easy we needed you here, without you escaping, my name is Susana Arcana. You know my older sister Leanna Tasley, " her hazel/green eyes were piercing.
"Tell us where we are at," Butch snared.
She started pacing "we are in back in Luciano Giarratano's Mansion AKA Family Giarratano's HQ," then she stopped and looked at us again. "He hardly ever spent time here. He wanted his girls to have a normal childhood, before training to be mafia. Which he did accomplish. The girls were in training and safe. He was going to reveal his secret of being the mafia boss to our heirs when they came of age; however that never happened. The night they came of age, he was murdered. Their, and your, safety were our concerns after that."
I tried to look into her mind, but she had a barrier. "Wait how do we play in all this? Why was our safety your concerns?" I waited for an answer.
"You know the heirs as you are part in this too. Although you didn't know him by Luciano you did know him as the Professor." WHAT…THE…FUCK?! "Yes, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are the heirs of the family. The Professor took an alias in order to raise his daughter's correctly."
"And how did you know they came of age that day? We were with them for majority of the day. The only weird thing I remember happening is what happened to our hair," I pointed to my hair, which made me realize my cap had come off.
"The day he created them he made a little adjustment to their genes and told us 'the day the girls come of age is the day when they meet the one person strong enough to protect them' he rigged the girls. He told us the day their hair changed color was the day he told the girls and boys everything. A few months later you three come into play. I remember him being one hundred percent positive of you being the chosen ones for the girls. Who do you think told Hawthorn about you three? Or Cortez about the girls? He wanted you properly trained to protect them. Then everything went sour that's when he decided the girls were no longer safe at home. Therefor he called Madame Cortez's House. Now if we unchain you will you comply? We don't want you in this room plus we need it. You'll eventually learn what it is used for." There was something wicked behind her tone.
I thought about everything and everything she says has to make sense, plus it eflt good being considered bad again. "Guys comply or I will personally hurt you."
A smile spread across her face, but the captivating thing was the hope in her eyes. "Perfect," she took out keys and unchained us. "Now let me show you to your rooms, everything has been prepared for your arrival."
ME: I feel the story flowing right now like crazy it makes me excited.
BC: Keep it up knowing you you'll need it.
RRB: Yup
ME: Awww yall are talking to me again.
Blossom: Don't push it.
ME: fine. Anyways review if you love or hate the story so far. Don't forget to follow me on twitter at Nicole_075. Ok until next time bye.
