A/N: Hi guys! I promised a double update and I swear I thought that I had it uploaded but apparently it didn't upload! I'm so extremely sorry I don't know what happened. I was planning an update today but I saw that Chapter 5 didn't upload! So I guess that double upload is happening tonight! Sorry for the inconvenience. This chapter is extremely short because it was supposed to be part of the double update so it wasn't meant to be very long. Anyways, please don't kill me and here it is...
As soon as we started the fly to the suburbs, where the girls lived, I felt my powers starting to return to me. By the time we reached the doorstep of the clean white house, I was able to gradually float down before Buttercup dropped me while I was still a good distance from the ground.
"Finally." I muttered, glad to have regained my powers.
Brick flew up in the air for a few moments, a small smirk on his face.
Boomer used his heat vision on a patch of grass, grinning widely as the grass was burnt immediately.
"Don't get too crazy." Blossom warned, pulling out keys and entering it into the door.
"Why did you bring us here?" Brick asked as we were brought inside.
"The Professor isn't home, but just don't make a mess." Blossom said as Boomer collapsed into a sleek white chair and began to prop his feet on the glass table.
"Boomer." Buttercup snapped. Boomer laughed nervously and took them off.
"Sorry."
"Anyways," Blossom started. "We need to set up some guidelines and discuss a plan."
"Agreed." Brick nodded. "We need to take care of how things are going to work because I can't just have my team start fighting criminals all of a sudden. We're not shifting over, we just need a clean slate."
"That you're just going to ruin later on." Buttercup rolled her eyes.
"Whatever. Fighting monsters isn't your job. You won't be fighting anything."
"Wait I'm confused." Boomer shook his head.
"When are you not confused?" Buttercup smirked.
"Hey!" Boomer frowned. "I just thought we were going to help you take him down. How can we take him down without fighting him?"
"We were never going to make you fight this battle. I told you already. We need test subjects. We need a source of research, a bluff, new recruits. We need to use you as leverage and to find some way to strengthen our powers against him. As well as find ways to defend ourselves from some of his powers."
"How can you test us if you don't have any of this Enhanced Chemical X? Wouldn't we need to see if it works?"
Buttercup and Bubbles shared a look, Bubbles licking her lips while Blossom simply pursed her lip glossed lips.
"We have our ways."
Brick clenched his fist and Boomer eyed Blossom suspiciously.
My attention was drawn to a different Puff.
"What the hell does that mean?" Brick snapped.
"How are we supposed to be allies if you can't trust us?"
"It means that we have our resources." Blossom said stubbornly.
"This alliance doesn't make us all buddy-buddy, all right?" Buttercup scowled
"We can't just get into this whole deal if we don't know what the hell is going on!"
Words and threats were lost in the heavy, angry atmosphere and I remained to the side, studying the girl leaning against the unlit fireplace.
She was quiet, her eyes darting between each one arguing, and somehow her eyes found me, and she looked back at the four Ruffs and Puffs who were close to ripping each others throats out.
"Guys!" She called out, her voice slicing theirs and silencing them all. "I'm it."
"What?" I unconsciously thought aloud.
She glanced at me then to my brothers. "I'm the Enhanced Chemical X source."
