I don't own fusionfall. Part 5 of 5 of the Downtown Brawl Arc

Chapter 51: Downtown Brawl: Part 5: Recovery

Holden stands in an elevator in the hospital ten minutes later. He was by himself, waiting for the car to arrive on the third floor. The attending nurses downstairs had made a large fuss over Blossom's and Buttercup's injuries and took them to examination rooms to wait for a doctor. The door opens and Holden is accosted by a man in a sharp suit and glasses.

He sticks a microphone and a camera in his face and says, "Holden Wren! I'm Will Harangue of the Will Harangue Nation. The nation would like to know why Townsville was nearly destroyed tonight. Is it true that Tennyson was involved in the destruction and that you were the reason for it in the first place."

Holden sighs and knew what Harangue was up to. He was trying to make him look bad and get people to hate him like he had tried with Ben so many times.

Holden then replies, "My sister was nearly killed tonight because of what happened. If you don't mind I would like to go visit her in peace."

Holden pushes past Harangue and walks down the hallway. Harangue grits his teeth and gives Holden the same look of disgust he saves for Ben most times.

Holden finds room 322 and opens the door slowly to find the Professor sitting in a chair next to Bubbles' bed, holding on to her hand. The TV is on and Holden could hear the Puppet Pals playing on it.

The Professor looks up at the sound of the opening door and replies, "She hasn't woken up yet Holden. Even with her powers, it's going to take Bubbles three and a half weeks to heal from everything Tessa did to her. Where are Blossom and Buttercup? I thought they would be here with you."

Holden sits down on one of the empty bed, looks at the Professor and replies, "They are being examined by the doctors. Buttercup is getting her shoulder reset after being dislocated by Tessa. Blossom is getting an X-ray done on her ankle just incase it was fractured."

The Professor frowns, breaths a sigh of relief and replies, "Sounds like Buttercup didn't listen to me when I told her to wait for Blossom."

Holden shrugs his shoulders and comments, "I don't know the entire story about what happened, so I wouldn't know if she did or not."

The Professor then replies in an inquisitive tone, "How did collecting those samples for Dexter go?"

Holden rolls his eyes and replies, "We never got a chance to get them, because something rather important came up. I was on my way back here to tell Dexter what happened, when I got the email about the attack. I would have thought Dexter would have kept you informed on what was happening."

The Professor gives a small chuckle and then replies seriously, "He normally does, but he was rather busy with that Proton Engine he was working on. Dexter is unconscious at the moment, after Tessa knocked him into a building. Deedee and his parents are in his room waiting for him to wake up."

Holden sighs and replies, "Then I guess he'll find out later that all the heroes who disappeared have been rescued and Fusion Deimongo is finally gone."

The Professor smiles broadly and says in a praising voice, "Holden, what you've managed to do is no small feat and will probably help us save the world from Fuse. You've done incredibly well today."

Holden smiles, turns red and says, "Thanks, Professor."

The door to the room opens and Buttercup enters, rotating her now fixed shoulder.

She also has a green hospital gown in her arms and replies, "They want to keep me over night for observation. Have you told him about what happened between Tessa and Blossom yet, Holden?"

Holden shakes his head and replies, "I was going to wait for you and Blossom to both show up, but I guess we have to tell him now."

The Professor eyes widen and he then says concernedly, "Tell me what? What happened between them?"

Blossom floats into the room then, with a pink hospital gown in one arm and a sports bandage wrapped around her ankle.

The Professor then looks at her and replies, "Honey, what happened between you and Tessa?"

Blossom sits down next to Holden on the empty beds and replies in a tired voice, "Tessa hit me full in the chest with some of that electrical energy spit of hers. It stopped my breathing and my heart also stopped because of it. I know I fell to the ground, but the next thing I remember is looking up into Holden's face. The doctors wants me to stay over night to make sure that there are no lasting side affects."

Professor Utonium frowns, looking at the three serious faces of his children and then replies, "What aren't you three telling me? Am I not going to like the answer?"

Holden sighs heavily and replies in a defeated voice, "Well we managed to stop Tessa, but Him and Eris tried to turn me evil by…"

The Professor interrupts, already knowing the answer and replies, "You don't have to say any more about it. So, where is Tessa right now?"

Holden starts to answer, when a small groan is heard and Bubbles opens her eyes slowly.

She then says in small, weak voice, "I'm sorry if I worried all of you. What happened with Tessa?"

Blossom smiles, pats Bubbles' head gently and replies, "We beat her. She downstairs and she has a broken leg, her nose is broken as well as her wrist. The nano's drained her powers."

Bubbles gives them all a weak smile, tries to sit up and replies, "Where's Boomer? I thought he would be here when I woke up."

Buttercup grins and replies, "He was hurt badly by Brick. I don't even know the reason why Brick was fighting him."

Blossom sits down next to Bubbles, takes her hand and replies, "I ran into Julie downstairs after my X-ray and she told me everything she over heard before deciding to get help. When did you and Boomer start dating?"

Bubbles gulps and replies meekly, "The night before Holdie had to save you from Fusion Him."

Buttercup, who is surprised by the news, then replies, "Why didn't you tell us?"

Bubbles closes her eyes and replies in a small voice, "I thought Blossom would lecture me, Buttercup. I asked Holdie not to say anything because of that. He's known since that night. Please don't get mad at him."

Blossom giggles, smiles and replies, "Bubbles, if Boomer makes you happy then we won't interfere."

Bubbles smile broadly and tightly hugs her father and three siblings.

After a half hour of talking, Bubbles looks out the window and her eyes widen.

She then replies with excitement in her voice, "It's snowing!"

Buttercup's eye dart towards Blossom, then she smiles and replies "I can't wait to throw a snowball at a fusion."

Blossom rolls her eyes and replies, "You mean me don't you? You never miss a chance to pelt me with a snowball and start a snowball."

Buttercup then replies with a devious grin, "We have two years of snowball fights to make up for since I disappeared! I should pelt Dexter with one because he deserves it. It was his fault that we didn't have snow almost two years ago because of that weather manipulation doo hickey thing of his. We had a really mild winter last year and we got no snow. It better snow a lot this year."

Holden suppresses a laugh at Buttercup's one track mind and goes over to look out the window. He is soon joined by Blossom, who places arm around his lower back and her head on his chest. Buttercup floats over and stands next to Blossom on her other side, to watch the snow with them. Bubbles, floats out of her hospital bed and lands slowly and carefully in a chair with a leg rest that was positioned next to Holden.

Blossom then whispers in Chinese to Holden, "Woh ai nee."

Holden kisses Blossom and replies back, "Woh ye ai nee Blossom."

Bubbles looks up at him and replies, "What about the two of us, Holdie? Are we chopped liver just because we're your sisters and Blossom isn't since she's your girlfriend?"

Holden leans over and kisses the top of Bubbles' head in response and replies, "I love you and Buttercup too, Bubbles." Bubbles smiles as does Buttercup.

The Professor then walks up behind them with his pipe in hand.

The four teens look back at the Professor for a brief moment and then say at the same time, "No smoking inside public buildings Professor."

The Professor puts the pipe away in the pocket of his lab coat and smiles at his four children. They turn back to watch the snow accumulate on the ground below, covering the world in a blanket of pure white.

A/N: Well a happy and upbeat end to the arc. I've been looking for a place to add Will Harangue for awhile cuz i just felt he was the kind of character that needed a mention. Figured that this chapter would be a good place. Also in point of fact from the show that Blossom is able to read Chinese, I decided to have her say I love you in Chinese. Holden has been taught some Chinese by Blossom at some point and ye means also. The end of the fic is insight. Probably like 10 chapters or so idk really. Review if u like it or don't Private message me even if u got a comment or just wanna flame. I've got another fic in the works that centers on Buttercup and the day she and the girls fight Mojo and how she becomes Belladonna. I hope i can get to that.
