Abilities
Brick
" Sounds fishy to me, I mean should we really trust him?" Butch says at exactly the same time the Professor left.
" Probably not, but if anyone knows what happened years ago, it's him," I reply, careful to speak in a low voice.
Blossom had wanted to visit him before. Where had he been? My attention then switches to Blossom's reaction as the Professor approached them. Her eyes brighten to a color that makes her eyes appear more luminous. I had to look away. Of course, I consider Blossom to be beautiful, but that is not the reason I'm here.
" They're really attached to him. Never seen Buttercup smile that much," Butch mentions.
All 3 of us glancing over. It was strange, but at that moment it's as if we saw another side to them. A happier side to them. Maybe this Professor was something more than any other person.
" Come on, let's go," I suggest, turning to leave. " They can handle the rest."
After tonight's even I wonder if there's more to the girl's story.
" You know every day should be like tonight, it's been pretty boring lately," Butch murmurs as we walk to the house.
" Beats being bored right," I respond, with a nod.
Butch and I turn to Boomer, usually he would always input something, but he look out of it. Frowning, Butch and I glance at each other then back at Boomer. As our younger brother we always worried about him. I nudge him.
" You all right?" I ask.
Boomer seem to refocus.
" Yeah I'm fine," he replies quickly.
" You don't seem like yourself, sure you're in there?" Butch knocks at his head with his knuckles.
Boomer slaps Butch hand away. " Cut it out," he protests.
" Something happened?" I ask.
" No…I'm just tired," Boomer hesitates, before walking ahead of us. Something was definitely strange. Wonder what's in his head.
" Brick, look!" Butch points towards the shadow of a woman.
The hell is that? It looks like a person with crazy hair.
" Another burglar?" Butch seem ready to go and take down the person.
" Wait," I then notice something, it was a woman we all knew.
The moment she turns, Butch and I took a step back.
" Hello boys, sorry I missed the action," it was Asudes, but only much different.
Her hair was sticking out, crazily.
" Sorry I'm late. Guess I missed most of it," she pushes her hair back." Thankfully I got you boys right. Keep up the good work," she turns to leave until she says. " Oh and between us. Let's keep this a secret," she winks at us.
Professor
I hug all of them. My heart calming down at the sight of them. They were unharmed.
" You were gone for so long," Blossom lets out a sigh of relief.
" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take a long time," I respond gently.
To me, all three were still the same young girls I tucked into bed to keep the monsters away.
" Who cares! I'm just glad your back!" Buttercup grins.
I smile at her.
" Did anyone get hurt?" I ask once I pull apart.
I knew Bubbles was all right since the moment I saw her.
" No we're fine, I brought down Mojo all by myself," Buttercup interrupts.
Mojo?
" You are such a liar! Butch helped you," Blossom cross her arms.
" Wait-Slow down. Mojo was the one who broke in?"
" Yup, he was looking for something, but before he could get anything, we manage to stop him," Blossom explains.
I haven't seen Mojo in ages…
" He didn't get anything?" I had to make sure.
If Mojo got the chemical X again. I could hardly imagine what he'll do with it now. I thought he was in jail. There's no way he would return unless-…the boys.
" Girls..how long have the boys been here?" my brain calculating.
" Just a few days. Can you believe it? Our dad got us bodyguards, as if we need protection," Buttercup scowls.
I cringe at the word dad.
" They came in handy today," Bubbles adds, but my mind was elsewhere.
I suspected as much.
" Go to sleep girls, we'll talk more in the morning," I suggest, knowing today even might've trigger some memories in them.
I wonder how much I can trust the boys. I sigh watching Bubbles, Buttercup, and Blossom leave towards the house. My girls. The moment I head back to my house, my mind is already swirling with memories. I keep their room the same way as the day they were taken away from me. If things had been different, I wonder if I'll be happier. If I hadn't mixed the chemical into their DNA.
A while later the doorbell rings.
" Come in," I press a button for the door to be open.
" Nice place professor," the red one commented, Brick.
Exact counterpart to Blossom. Fascinating eye color, slightly darker then Blossom. I glance over at Buttercup's counterpart. Same qualities over all. Hmm. I toss 3 balls from my table at them. Brick reacted quickly, catching it. Butch automatic reflex was to dodge, while Boomer just stared at the ball.
Hmm..
" What was that about?" Brick toss me the ball back.
" Brick, 19, favorite color Red correct? Has unexpected behavior problems since the age of 3,"
Brick takes a step back.
" Butch born exactly a year later from Brick, 18, strength is your most efficient characteristic, while you like the color green, and have strong anger issues, " I turn to Boomer. " Boomer, 17, likes dark blue color, not the brightest of the 3, but shows distant good qualities on drawing and architecture."
By now all 3 of them were giving me a serious look.
" Look, you're freaking us out, how do you-"
"I know much about you 3, up until age 12. But you already know that don't you?" I got straight to the point now. " What are you boys doing here. Specifically, you know it's a dangerous place to be."
Boomer glances down.
Brick and Butch kept their stare.
" You boys know exactly who is responsible for the death of your father," fake father that is. I see them all react. The smallest flicker of reconciliation.
" Oh we know, we're not dumb asses," Butch mutters.
Which brought me to my next question. " If it's because of the girls, I suggest you drop it. Just because you're their exact match doesn't mean-"
" Wait match?" Brick held out a hand.
They didn't know?
" Haven't figured that out yet? Your father never told you?"
" Told us what?" demands Brick.
" Our father never talked about work, you knew our father. The reason we're here is to bring down the people who murdered him. You need to tell us all you know professor," Boomer added.
" We know you worked with our father,"
" The girls we're experiments, are experiments even now. All I can tell you boys is that no matter the reason you're here. Leave the girls out of it as much as possible," It wasn't my place to tell them the whole truth, they must learn it themselves.
" Experiments of what? Can you at least tell us that," Boomer groans.
" They're very special experiments, their DNA along with other test subjects produce very unique abilities. That's why Steve adopted them. He's waiting for their abilities to show," I focus on the chemicals in my lab to not think of something else.
" Look, Professor you're not making any freaking sense! What was the point of telling us to come if you're not going to help us," Brick was now losing his temper.
" I said it was about the girls. Only. You boys are young and think you can do whatever suits you,-,"
" Last time I checked we can," Butch mutters.
" The girls are special in many ways. I repeat do not mess with them because the moment you do- I can tell you it won't be pretty," or whoever messes with my daughters I will never forgive them. It was obvious in their eyes how much they hated Steve, so did I, but I was more worried about the effect it can have on the girls.
" Is that all Professor?"
" One last thing…keep an eye out for Mojo, after all he will always check on you 3 for as long as you live," if they don't know about the experiment consequence, then they most likely don't know about Mojo. I frown. Should I tell them or not. No they can't know yet the reason their dad got killed..that it wasn't just Steve who murdered their father. They can't know yet the reason why their counterparts of the girls, because once they learn…-I could only hope Townsville survives.
Boomer
The talk with the professor was strange. Since the moment he started talking about experiments. The weirdest part was the thing he said to me when we were about to leave.
" She has the purest heart I know, don't you dare hurt her," I'm starting to think he believes we're going out since he saw Bubbles kiss me. Jeez, I mean come on, Bubbles and me? The guy just met me, how can he possibly think we're going out.
" Boomer!" Bubbles approaches me, smiling.
Crap, I wasn't prepared to see her after last night.
" Blossom and Buttercup are being total meanies, so I thought who cares about them. I'll just hang out with you today," she proclaims as if it was the greatest news she ever heard.
" Hang out…doing what?" I scratch the back of my head, please let it not be taking care of animals!
As if she could read my mind she says " Relax, I was thinking of doing something really fun-besides I owe you for yesterday night," she pulls out 2 tickets. " Tada! Two tickets to the fair!" she hands me one. I stare between the ticket and her. Wondering if she was serious. Before I could say anything, she did something with her eyes.
" Please! Boomer! Come on, I can't go alone and you being my bodyguard is a safe way to go! Please! Friends don't let friends go alone," she scowls at me now, but her eyes are pleading.
Friend…
I never had a friend other than my brothers. Could she be serious? I shake my head mentally, what am I thinking? Wasn't part of the plan to actually have her close to me, but not so close that I could- ah! Whatever. Just because she kissed me, it's not a big deal. Bubbles is just friendly like that.
" Sounds cool, let's go-," I decide.
Her eyes sparkle.
" Yay!" she grins.
I found myself grinning back.
Buttercup
" Where are you going?" Blossom asks.
Yesterday my night was ruined with Mojo appearing. I could hardly sleep without remembering that time I ran away and went out on my own for two weeks. The worst days of my life. I strap on my helmet.
" Going skateboarding. Need to clear my head," I murmur, picking up my skateboard.
" Shouldn't you be studying?" Blossom gave me a look.
"Oh, I'm sorry since when are you my mother?" I sarcastically reply, already used to Blossom's motherly habits.
Blossom rolls her eyes. " I'm just concern about you," she says.
" - And again your acting like my mother. Just because you are flawless doesn't mean I have to be," I reply.
" Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you BC," she walks away.
I let out a sigh, remembering my score in science.. D- UGH! As I'm about to leave I bump into Butch, who's barely coming out of the room. I stop for a moment. Our eyes locking. Without a word I make my way pass him. I'm almost out the door when I turn back. Not even sure why.
" I'm going skate boarding," I inform him.
" Okay? And I care…because?"
I scowl at him. " I'm only telling you because I don't want you freaking out on finding me or whatever! " I turn to leave.
" Why would I freak out over you?" Butch snorted behind me.
Ugh! He was just so full of himself. " You know what? Why don't you get lost! I'm going to be training since I'm the best skateboarder in Townsville, so don't bother looking for me," I yell and stomp off.
" 2nd best," I heard him say just as I open the door.
" What did you just say?" I go back, ready to slam the skateboard in his face.
" Last time I check I was the best skateboarder in Townsville, so you'll have to settle for 2nd best,"
" You? Don't make me laugh, I bet you can't beat me at a contest," I challenge.
" Bet," he challenges back.
The moment we arrive at the skateboard park I immediately start showing off a bit as I practice. It turns out Butch actually knew how to skateboard. He rents one from the park, but yet he was doing moves that had taken me years to manage. When he starts showing off it begins to irk my nerves. I never met someone as good as him. All of a sudden he's better than me.
" Butch, bet you can't do this!" I ran full spree, jumping on the skateboard, while picking up speed. I concentrate hard, lifting my body up, in a full spin in the air before coming back down. " Ha!" I snort once I skateboard back to Butch.
Butch looks a bit surprise. " Not bad for a beginner-watch and learn from the master," Butch shot me a grin before doing the move I had just done, only much better.
IMPOSSIBLE! That's how it went for freaking 5 rounds, trying to get the best score until for some reason I burst out laughing. Butch may be a pain in the ass, but competing against him was the best fun I had in ages! The moment Butch caught me laughing, he grins at me. I try covering up the laugh, with a coughing fit. It was getting a bit late, might as well go home before Blossom starts freaking out.
" You're giving up already?" Butch was so f-ing full of himself, of course he would be. He did beat me, but only for today!
" Oh shut up, today was just not my day," I mumble taking the helmet off.
" You got that right," Butch at that moment pull up his shirt, which was soak with sweat.
I froze in place. My eyes caught to his upper body, unable to tear my eyes away.
" Like what you see?" Butch caught me looking.
Instantly I come back to my senses. My cheeks coloring.
" Gross. Don't strip in front of me," I scowl glancing away.
" Your lost," Butch murmurs.
I shake my head. I didn't want to go home just yet, even though I rather be alone. Butch is already with me….
" Want to catch something to eat?" I force myself to say, almost chocking the word out.
Blossom
My plan today was simple. Mojo had broke in our house looking for something and I planned to find out what it is. Afterwards I plan on visiting the Professor. As I pack my things I keep an eye out for Brick. Just because he helped me yesterday doesn't mean I trust him yet. He's…very complicated. Avoiding him would be the best. Not to mention how close he had gotten to noticing my secret ability. I had to be careful. Once I notice him gone, I bolt down the stairs and out the door as quick as possible. I almost reach the car when I realize he's already waiting at there. How could he have known? I step in front of him, with my arms crossing.
" Who told you?" I get straight to the point.
" No one, I knew you'd be wanting to go downtown and question Mojo," Brick smirks from under his cap.
Yikes, he's beginning to know me. No fair, he's still a mystery to me. I let out a sigh, shoving him over.
" Fine. I'll drive," I open the door to the car. As I drove there was definitely an awkward tension. I wanted to ask about what he thought yesterday with my super freeze breath, but decide against it.
" Hey Bloss can I ask you something," Brick turns to me.
" I told you not to call me that," I interrupt.
Bloss is a nickname, something you call a friend and I really don't know what he is to me.
" Blossom," he rolls his eyes." What does Steve do exactly?"
He's asking me about my father?
" He works for an enterpise….," I wish I sounded more sure. My father never talked about his work. It was always so secretive.
Brick mess with his hat, twirling it around in his hands.
" Do you really care about him?" he asks with an unusual tone.
I turn to face him now, with an eyebrow raise.
" Of course, why would you ask that?"
He didn't respond. His behavior now was different from his usual. I park outside the Townsville jail.
" Ah, brings back memories," Brick says when he got out from the car.
I can't imagine the type of memories he would have here. At least he was talking again. Before I open the door I turn back to Brick.
" Try to behave," I say this as serious as possible, but even so Brick twitches a smile.
" No guarantees darling," he snickers.
I could've done without the darling. I step in the jail.
" Good morning Blossom, surprise to see you here," the local chief straighten up.
" Nice to see you too. I want to interrogate Mojo Jojo,"
His eyes turn behind me.
" Hey Phillip, haven't seen you in a while. How's the wife?" Brick sounds as if they were old friends.
" Are you up to no good again son?" Phillip sighs. " What have you done this time?"
" What haven't I done is more like it,"
" He's with me-," I intervene.
Phillip gasps.
" H-How-"
" Not like that!" I correct, already seeing what he misunderstood. " I just want to talk to Mojo.."
" The thing is he's already being interrogated right now?"
" What! By who?"
In my blood I already had a fair idea of who it was. I really hope I was wrong…-
Bubbles
" That one! We could try that one!" I point to the simply ride on the side.
Boomer made a face, meaning no. " How about that one?" he points to the one roller coaster that flipped and went upside down and sideways.
I gulp. Not a big fan of scary rides like that exactly…
" Uh..sure…why not?" I nervously say back.
Boomer didn't look scare though, so maybe I shouldn't be.
" I love rides like this, the worst the better," Boomer smile eagerly.
" Really?" as we stand in line, the closer we got the more shaken I felt. It's just a ride, nothing can possibly go wrong…just a ride. We were next. I froze in place. It- It looks-
" Bubbles?" Boomer turn back to me. In a sudden motion, he grips my hand. " I'll be fine," he reassures awkwardly.
I stare at his hand for a moment, deciding to trust him. As I sat down I continue to stare at our hands. The ride started slow, I steady my breathing. Thinking of all the cute things I could possible think of. I can handle this, no big deal…no…no. The moment it drops down I scream, louder than I ever thought possible. My voice resonated throughout the whole atmosphere. Something happen when I scream. Everything froze in place abruptly, glass shattered, cars honked from the distance. Everyone was covering their ears. Everyone except me. I gasp. Had I done this? Boomer turn to me his mouth open.
" Oops" I say with a nervous laughter.
Butch
" What in hell was that!" I clutch my ears as what seem like a sonic wave hit me. My ears rang, whatever it was all of Townsville car's alarms kept going off, the windows cracked or shattered.
" That was pretty powerful," Buttercup says, already bolting to where it came from. I follow her until she comes to a halt.
The sound came from the other side, an easy short cut would be to go straight through this alley.
" I'm going around," Buttercup suddenly announces.
" Why? We can just-," then I saw it, something I could tell instantly.
No way, Buttercup was scared. You got to be kidding me?
" Don't tell me your scared to go through this alley Buttercup?" An automatic grin forms in my lips.
Buttercup turns back abruptly. " I'm never scared!" she says each word separate, warning me not to tempt her.
" Then let's take the short cut," I point.
" You don't understand I- forget it," Buttercup starts walking away.
" Heck yeah I don't understand, here you are always saying how brave you are and you can't even go through the alley,''
" That alley is…," she took a breath. " I'm not a coward."
That's more like the Buttercup I know. It was nice seeing her all fearful for a change.
" Calm down, I've been in these streets millions of times. People know better than to mess with me," I try to console her.
Buttercup just shrug. " The streets is not what bothers me, it's the people," she says eyeing some of the people crossing our path.
This street had a reputation for attracting the worse people in Townsville.
" You've been here before" I say it as a statement.
Buttercup slowly nods, before she tenses.
" Hey look at that! Buttercup returned," some dude I've never seen before attempts to approach her.
" Get away from me!" she snaps.
A couple others join him.
"Last time I remember you owe us Buttersnot," he growls back at her.
I hated the way they were glancing at her, hated the way they spoke to her.
" Don't know what you're talking about stink breath," Buttercup shouts back.
" You know damn well. We warned you that next time we saw you here, you would pay," his fist balled, ready to attack.
Next thing I know I shove the guy back, hard.
" Touch her again punk and I'll put that hand of yours straight down your throat," I warn.
" Butch?" he recognizes. " You got to be kidding me, you're with her?"
" That's none of your business," I turn to Buttercup who for a moment look surprise that I step in, then a smirk spread to her lips as we both realize more people were surrounding us. It looks like it's going to be a brawl. They must not know who they're messing with.
Brick
Inside the room we waited. Blossom face pale when she saw the dude interviewing Mojo. I had no idea who it was.
" We should come back later," Blossom starts walking away.
" Whoa! Weren't you all motivated to come here?" I twirl her around. My eyes go to the guy.
" Boyfriend?" I ask, remembering that this was the 2nd time I say this.
" Ex," Blossom corrects, pushing me away.
I understood now. " I'm guessing he broke up with you and now you don't want to see him,"
" No, it's completely the opposite. I broke up with him after he cheated on me. He's been trying to get me back constantly, but I'm not the type of girl to take things so lightly," Blossom replies, crossing her arms right as the dude came from behind.
" Blossom? Is that you?" I could instantly tell the slightest tense in Blossom.
" Oh…hi Mat," she turns to face him, obviously uncomfortable.
" I haven't seen you in ages! I've been looking for you, do you have time to talk-,"
I don't like this dude, not sure why.
" I don't think that's a good idea,"
" Blossom we really need to talk," he took a step towards her.
Blossom moves back, she didn't want him close. I knew exactly why…this jerk had hurt her. I tilt my cap to the left a bit, exposing my eyes better. Then I laced my fingers through Blossom hand.
" Sorry she can't do that," I say with a grin spreading over my face.
My fingers locking tightly.
" Brick what are you-,"
" You see she's my girlfriend now-," I say.
" I'm your wha-," before Blossom could sputter the next words my mouth slams into hers, brusquely. Blossom was obviously taken by surprise, her lips unmoving. Until I pull back, her face completely shock. My arm goes around to her back, pulling her closer. Blossom hands automatically go up to my chest to push me away. I pull her close enough to whisper.
" You want him gone? Play along,"
Understanding dawns in her. Her hands then slid behind my neck as she pulls me into another kiss. This time was different then last time, because she actually kissed back. I respond back to her kiss equally. The kiss became more ardent, then just a peck in the lips. In between the kiss, she breathed out. Again a wave of what felt like a freezer came out of her mouth. I never kissed a girl with super cold breath, it was something new, refreshing, needed. Blossom suddenly pulls back, gasping.
" He's gone,"
I'm still a bit dazed by the kiss that the only logical thing I can say is. " Huh?"
Our breathing was coming out in gasps. Small huffs of air were escaping her, hitting my face like icicles. I knew it, she has an above normal breathing temperature. My eyes lock to her lips that I was kissing moments ago. I glance down, not sure what will happen next if I continue looking at her…a pain comes to my feet where Blossom just kicked me.
" Stop staring," she warns.
" Who said I was-" in the next moment her hands go to the side of my face, pulling me into another kiss. Now it was my turn to be surprise. Unfortunately this kiss was shorter than the rest. She pulls apart quickly.
" He came back for another peak, I'm sure he's definitely gone now," Blossom sighs.
I'm still just standing there.
" Now that's he's gone I can interview Mojo," she smiles.
I glance at her for a moment. The tension was still in the air. I only thought it for a second..before I lean in and give her one quick last passionate kiss before pulling apart.
" BRICK! What the-"
" Sorry couldn't help myself," I wink at her before leaving.
I need to leave. I'm not sure what can happen if I stay. I stood outside, leaning back on the wall, my fist baling. That was close back there. I can't grow feelings for Blossom. It can't come to that…-
Butch
We come out laughing. Blood sputtering from all over our face. Buttercup had a bleeding lip, bruised jaw and shoulders. I had a bruise eye, a bloody forehead, and obviously a couple of hits on the side of my cheek. Yet that was one of the best street fights ever. Not to mention we won.
" You saw the way that one guy ran?" Buttercup bumps into me as we're still shaking in laughter.
I join equally.
" Not as bad as the one who attempted the sneak attack," I reply as I lay down on a park bench.
Buttercup nods, wiping blood from her lips. " Glad they learn their lesson," Buttercup sits next to me on the bench. We were both pretty exhausted.
A moment of silence echoes. I try smearing the blood from my knuckles away, satisfied.
" Revenge is something really sweet," Buttercup says staring into the distance. " It brings consequences, but at that moment it's just a deep deep emotion. It overcomes you until it drives you to do the unthinkable to make things even."
Damn right about that. " Revenge is making things fair again," I mutter my fist balling into a fist.
" Yup. My sisters won't agree with that, but who knows?" Buttercup smiles leaning back on the bench.
It was already getting pretty dark.
" You're not exactly like your sisters," I comment, never seeing someone so beautiful after a fight.
" I know, I'm not as special as them. I'm not as perfect as Blossom, not as gentle or kind like Bubbles-not as girly as them. I'm always the unwanted one. It's so unfair," Buttercup mumbles.
In all honesty, I was glad she wasn't like Blossom or Bubbles. She was awesome just being Buttercup.
A long moment later I realize Buttercup fell asleep on the bench. Her head slants to the side. I can't understand her. She's annoying and all the things I hate, but she's also all the things I love. Buttercup is definitely different. I stay awake for a while. I'm guessing she won't go home tonight with how she looks like. I move her over a little so I can rest my head on the bar. This shit is uncomfortable. I remove my shirt again, using it as a pillow. Staring up I remember my dad and those few moments with my mother. I will avenge him. I promise. Buttercup curl up, shivering.
I glance at her for a moment. Hmm..It took me a long while before I force myself to pull her into my arms. Only because she was cold, my arms go around her as she rested in my chest. I grimace. What kind of romantic scene is this? Yuck. I roll my eyes and stare at the sky. It's only for tonight. Buttercup lets out a sigh, her arms wrapping around me…..Um….I smirk. I guess Buttercup does have a cute side to her. I try to unwrap her hands from me as much as possible. As much as I don't mind being close to a girl, the whole lovey dovey scene is not me. Before I knew it I fell asleep.
"Teenagers," a woman voice echoes to my ear. Huh? I open my eyes just as I realize our position changed during the night. Instead of having her on top of me she was tilted a little to the side and I was sideways too like I was shielding her. I stare at my hand just at her lower hips. When did I do that? A stir made me glance up. Oh oh. Her eyes locked on me, then our position, then my hand at her hip. Ah too late to take it back now. Buttercup stumbled back, the momentum bring me down on the process. Our lips smash together awkwardly. At this both our eyes went wide. Hell no! Buttercup was just about to go crazy in 5,4,3,2,1...-
~~Fun little way to end a chapter - Buttercup is like a volcano ready to erupt. ^^ so yeah,obviously I got more votes for Brick and Blossom, but Buttercup and Butch were close second. Anywho...want a little exerpt from the next chapter? Here it is
" It's time to stop playing games," Mojo says from the jail. " We can't let things continue like they have. Their full abilities will kick in soon and when they do we'll have no way to stop them,"
" So what do you want us to do?"
" Kill the powerpuff girls...at all cost- the wager...30 million dollars,"
" But they're guarded by those boys, they're special too, what if they get in the way,"
" I wouldn't worry about the boys, they'll learn to stand for the right side," Mojo grin.
Whoa does that sound dark? haha. Review Please xD I'll update faster.
