Warnings: Language (Seems a bit late for this)

Target List

Buttercup

"What do you mean she's in danger! What did she say!" I push myself away from Butch and in front to Bubbles. "Where is she!" I demand, about ready to burst out into a run to get to Blossom.

Bubbles eyes tears up immediately as she walks forward. "She-She- call-and- she- We have to go!" Bubbles stammers and from here I can see she's shaking.

"Ugh Bubbles spit it out!" I shout at her, knowing Bubbles has a tendency of panicking when things get bad.

"Hey!" Boomer steps up suddenly, surprising me when his hand comes in between me and Bubbles. "D-Don't yell at her," he says to me with a slight stammer too. His darker blue eyes barely seen under his blond hair.

Excuse me!

"What who do you think you are!?" I glare back at the blond one. I hardly even talk to the others aside from Butch, but who did he think he was yelling at me! I'm just trying to figure out what the heck happened to Blossom and we won't get anywhere if Bubbles gets a panic attack. "Listen pal-"I start but now it's Butch who gets in between.

"Whoa hold on now!? Isn't Brick with Blossom?" Butch steps in.

Bubble nods hiccupping now as she takes in a breath. She looks back up at Boomer and "He's hurt."

I see Boomer and Butch now stiffen too. They lock eyes with each other.

"No freaking way is Brick hurt!" Butch now is the one yelling as he shakes his head, refusing to believe it, and before I know it he literally runs out of the house.

"Butch! Wait!" I call out but he doesn't stop he leaves in an instant. I'm seconds from running right after him, not to stop him but to follow him when I hear behind me.

"Bubbles. Look at me," I turn back and see Boomer hands on Bubbles shoulder tenderly.

I frown staring at the way Bubbles didn't shove Boomer away from her.

"Tell me exactly what Blossom said. If they are in danger we got to help them fast. We'll save them just tell us," Boomer explains surprisingly calm in tone.

How can he be calm when I'm bolting with energy about to go crazy if Bubbles doesn't splutter out what is happening. Butch literally ran off instead of acting like nothing is happening. Damn it Butch- why didn't I think of running out before he did.

Bubble nods wiping her tears now. She breathes out. "I don't know where's she's at but she said Brick got hurt in his leg, that people are after her. To call the Mayor and then the phone shut off- that's all."

"That doesn't help at all!" I groan now. They can be anywhere in Townsville.

"Why the Mayor?" Boomer questions. "Why would Blossom want you to call the Mayor instead of the Police?"

"I don't know he's a friend of ours, he's always worried about our safety so he takes precautions," Bubbles explains still shaking with when her eyes widen. "Wait….He knows exactly where we are all the time because he has a tracker on our phones…! OH! OH!" Bubbles eyes widen larger at the realization.

"All right fine," I announce knowing we are wasting time here like idiots. Some jerks were out there hurting my sister I need to go help her. I just hope Blossom last out there. I knew when threatened she will fight, but I know that there's bad people out there that would break you into pieces. No matter how strong you are. I lesson I had to learn all by myself. "I'll go get the car ready. Bubbles you call the Mayor, find out where she's at in the meantime and meet me outside pronto!"

"But Buttercup what car? Blossom took the car and we don't even drive," Bubbles reminds me.

"Don't worry about it Bubbles! Go!" I'm already running outside by now. I bolt to the garage where one of my father's car was at. A silky black Volvo.

I look around me and see crowbar on the tool desk to the side. I don't even think about it twice, I grab it and break the glass to my dad's Volvo to open it. I jump into the seat not even bothering with my seat belt as I use to crowbar to open the compartment below the steering wheel of the car. Once the wires drop, I start to hotwire the car.

I'm going to be so grounded, I think as I wait for a spark for ignition. "Come on you stupid thing! Work!" I grumble sparking the wires as fast as I could. I've only done this once before. It wasn't something I was particularly proud of learning, but at this moment if this is what I needed to save Blossom then hell I'll do it and take the consequences like I always do. "Work!" I grit out sparking it as finally the car hums to life. "Yes baby!" I say now starting the car, I hit the accelerator.

Boomer

"Yes Mayor, I need to know where Blossom is! No-what?" I hear Bubbles calling from her cell phone towards the Mayor. "Huh?" She frowns. "I don't know anything about a pickle contest? Mayor!" Bubbles groan as I shook my head.

Where did Butch go? It's one thing worrying about one brother, now to worry if my other brother goes and does something reckless.

"Hand me the phone," I tell Bubbles when I see she's getting nowhere with that pickle loving idiot Mayor.

Bubbles does without a protest as I instantly say. "Listen Mayor. This is Bubble's bodyguard. I NEED BLOSSOM's PHONE COORDINATES NOW!" I yell through the phone, surprising Bubbles as she took a step back from me. Part of me wants to apologize to Bubbles, knowing she has never seen me lose my cool before, while another part of me says let her see. It's time she knew that even though I am not as mean as the others think, I'm not so innocent.

I'm not the exact guy she thinks of me.

"Er uh yes, right…," the Mayor stammers. "I'll get them right now Ms. Bellum!" I hear him call from the other end.

"Here," I give the phone back to Bubbles, not being able to look her in the eye. I hide behind the locks of my blond hair. "I uh…-" I start a nervousness surrounding me. What is wrong with me?

A car honks outside.

"HURRY UP GUYS! GET YOUR BUTTS OVER HERE OR I'M GOING TO GO SEARCH FOR BLOSSOM ON MY OWN!" Buttercup's yells are heard from all the way in the kitchen.

"52 Avenue and Quence Alleway! Thank you Mayor!" Bubbles smiles in return as we both rush outside to Buttercup driving a black nice volvo.

"Buttercup!" Bubbles gasps as we approach the car. Her whole face paling instantly. "Did you hotwire Dad's car!"

Buttercup shrugs, keeping her face straight ahead. "I see it more like smartly borrowing it for now," she says.

"You stole dad's car!" Bubbles accuses gasping.

"Borrowing," Buttercup corrects before saying. "Where's Blossom!"

"They're in 52nd Avenue and Quence Alleyway," Bubbles grips my arm suddenly and pulls me right next to her in the back seat. Even as we go in the car she doesn't let go of my arm, instead she grips me tighter.

"BC"

"Yeah?" Buttercup is already speeding through the driveway.

"Step on it!" Bubbles says determine as her own fingers seek to lace between my fingers.

I open my fingers letting her fingers go in between my own.

What am I doing? I shake my head inwardly. This is normal. She's been doing this since I met her, this isn't something new. She's just really touchy. But…why am I always so willing to it? I think back to what I saw earlier. Her talking to her hamster that seem to respond back to her. Was it real? Was it a dream?

Bubbles sighs her head landing on my shoulder suddenly as she closes her eyes. Her face still showing worry.

I glance down at her, a blush reaching into my face as I cautiously raise a hand and pat the top of her hair, softly.

"It…It's okay," I promise right as I look up and see Buttercup glancing from the rearview mirror towards me critically, narrowing her green eyes at me.

I cough looking away. Jeez. There's nothing going on between Bubbles and me. Why are people giving me these weird looks?

The car suddenly comes to an abrupt halt in which both Bubbles and I slam forward.

"Ow!" Both Bubbles and I say at exactly the same time.

Buttercup opens the window. "HEY! IDIOT! GET IN!" Buttercup calls out that's when I realize it was Butch who was still running.

Butch

I stare at Buttercup for a second, before jumping into the passenger seat. I ran as fast as I could looking for Brick, knowing he had to be around here until the Volvo pull up in front of me, almost running me over too. I would have personally kick the person's ass for getting in my way, but that's exactly when I see that it's Buttercup.

"Nice ride," I say once I'm in the passenger seat, not remembering seeing it before.

Buttercup doesn't answer me instead she pushes on the pedal. Practically almost running many people over in her speed. My eyes go to the wires hanging out of the car. No fucking way.

"You hotwire a car?"

Why didn't I think of that when I started running?

"So-" Buttercup answers furrowing his eyebrows.

I let out a short laugh, "Damn Buttercup didn't think you were a criminal too?" I tease.

"Ugh- I am borrowing it not stealing it and shut up I'm not a criminal!" She yells right back, almost running an old lady crossing the street, we had to swerve to the left to avoid her.

"I think you soon will be in the criminal list if you keep driving like this Buttercup!" Bubbles squeaks covering her face with her hands.

"I can't get to Blossom fast enough if I go in the speed of a turtle, now can I?" Buttercups replies again swerving.

"Y-Yeah but don't kill us! Buttercup! Watch out!" Bubbles replies shaking before a street post falls right in front of us, making Buttercup press the brake hard.

Shit, I put my hands up defensively as the car crash in the next second against the street post lamp. My head slamming into the front hard enough that I have to clutch my jaw togethering from the wince. But that wasn't the killer, it was the stupid air bags that went off in the next second as my head slams back again as if I were punch ten times in one.

Frankly it knock me out for a second. I blink in the next second. Shit, shit shit. I push through the airbags.

"Buttercup?" I ask lightly opening my eyes to look around. Behind me I hear Boomer grumbling and Bubble moaning as if she hurt something. "Boomer?" I look over and saw them fine. Still recovering like me. So I look at the other end, seeing Buttercup with blood dripping from her mouth. "Buttercup!" I call out, a beating suddenly jumping in my heart as I move towards her.

Hell no! Hell freaking no! "Buttercup," I call again, moving even closer so that my hands wrap around her face, shaking her. One thought clear in my head. Bull this can't be happening. This tough chick can't just…just..- no way! "Yo this isn't funny! You're fine, there's no freaking way you're not okay- hey loudmouth get up or I'm going to kick your cute but annoying as hell butt all the way to the next continent if you don't open your eyes," I yell at her, blurting out when I see her eyes flash open.

"Ugh what are you yelling at!" She groans moving back, wiping the blood from her mouth.

"Are you okay?" I ask now, starting to glare at her.

"I'm fine," Buttercup scoffs brushing me off as she moves, wincing.

But there's a new feeling washing over me seeing her okay. Whatever the heck came over me. I didn't know how to handle it because it was a new emotion in me, so I took it the only way I knew how.

I grab her chin the next moment so she can face me. "You better not pull a stunt like that ever again got it! Don't ever-" I stop talking as I found myself staring suddenly back at her lips, remembering the kiss that happen a couple minutes earlier. She was a good damn kisser.

Buttercup's green eyes narrow back at me. "Stunt?! What the hell are you talking about? Let go of me Jerk!" She mumbles in return right as a flicker of a red laser flashes between us.

Fuck, "Get down!" I yell at the others as for the second time since being that girl's bodyguard do I push myself on top of her to protect her.

Boomer reacts the same way as he lands on top of Bubbles to shield her as the shot is fire a second later.

"You have got to be kidding me," Buttercup snaps below me, irritated. "Again? Who the hell keeps trying to shoot at me! I'm going to plummet them to the ground!" She twists around opening the door.

"You and me both," I return whispering close to her ears. "I'm tired of saving your ass."

"You don't have to," Buttercup grumbles in return now trying to move to get out the car. In the process her butt is practically slam in to my face. Heh, I wonder if this is why they call her BUTTercup.

Well not like I'm complaining. Finally when Buttercup manages to get out of the car I see her looking at the side of the door. I follow right after her, peeking out to see who was the one who shot now.

"Come out you rotten girls I aint gonna hurt you, or maybe jus' a little," a strong accented person replies holding a revolver. "Ya'll can trust me hahaha," he chuckles.

"Fuzzy," I realize with a groan.

"Fuzzy….the hillbilly?"

"The one and only," I mutter in return, annoyed. Usually Fuzzy kept to the outskirts of the city. What the hell is he doing in Townsville.

Buttercup shook her head, holding her arm that had scrapes from the sudden car crash. "What the heck is wrong with today?"

That's exactly what I want to know.

Bubbles

Ow, ow, ow- I whimper touching my wrist, instantly pain shot up. But on top of me Boomer was still shielding me from the fact that someone was this close to shooting me.

"Why are they shooting at us?" I ask Boomer in a small voice. I can practically hear the sound of my heart beating from the inside out. I close my eyes and all I see is the same memories that haunt me.

Ah! Get away get away! I yell at the images.

"I have no idea," Boomer whispers slightly tilting the pressure above me to open the door. "But we have to get out of here."

"Out there? Boomer! Out there is the people chasing Blossom! Out there are the people that hurt Brick! Out there are people wanting to hurt us and I don't know why!" I yell back in panic.

Boomer glances back at me, and in his eyes I can see there's something about this whole situation that connects to him.

"You live in a mansion Bubbles," he whispers now looking away. "You live a perfect life. But out here- this is Townville. It's the town I grew up in. This…-All this is things we face sometimes every day. No one here is as pure as…" He stops.

"Pure as?" I prompt realizing that Boomer is slightly opening up to me.

I can hear him gulp. Then a small whisper. "No one is as pure as you are."

"You…you find me pure?" I whisper in return shock. "Don't you find me annoying? Weird? Too friendly? You-You heard me super scream yesterday? How can you find me pure? Don't you think I'm a freak? Don't you think I'm a crybaby!" I reply, the tears strolling down my cheek.

"I uh….," Boomer stammers before I glance back up and see him shake his head. No. "I think you're…you're…unique."

"Unique," I gasp blinking. "R-Really!" A warm fuzz surrounds my heart. After he heard that weird sonic scream power I have yesterday, he thinks I'm pure and unique. I giggle, wiping the tears of my eyes.

"Blossom was wrong about you," I say kneeling towards the outside next to him now. "You are not a bad person Boomer and I really…really like you! I know you'll never hurt me." I smile.

His cheeks color again at it. He was so cute when he did that. But I step out quietly. "I think I know how to get out of here," I whisper to Boomer.

"H-How?" He replies not looking at me.
"I'm going to scream," I reply taking in air, hope he covers his ears, as the next moment I let it out: My sonic scream.

Brick

Seriously. The Amoeba boys are the ones behind this attack/ assault. I hold the pain from my leg and limp forward blocking Blossom.

"Brick haven't seen you in a long time boy," the main leader grins back, tossing a cigarette out only to put a new one in his mouth. The others behind grin. The Amoeba boys were always a bit strange to be honest.

They thought they were the top badasses around Townville, but they tried too hard.

"Well you know I've been a bit busy lately guys, you know me. If I'm not doing something bad I'll explode," I reply trying to play it casual, but if I'm honest I'm trying to think of a way to bring Blossom to safety.

Just because these idiots were not the smartest criminals didn't mean they still couldn't cause harm.

Huh well what do you know, maybe Blossom's right I am taking my job too seriously. Why do I care if she's hurt? Isn't hurting her what I am planning to do anyways? Ah but not this way.

"Why am I not surprise that all these people seem to know you," Blossom mumbles behind me. I swear I could almost feel her eye roll.

"I happen to go around Babe," I snicker back at her, which causes her to cross her arms behind me.

"Don't call me that. We are not that close!" She mutters in return.

The Amoeba boys chuckle. "Don't try to play us a fool Brick! We know what you're really after!" The short one smirks.

"What you're really after," repeats the shorter one.

"Y-Yeah," The lanky one snarks. "Don't think we were going to sit by while you took all the glory right!"

"Yeah tell him boss, how we know is stinky plan!" The shorter one grins.

I tense. Could they actually know about my revenge plan? Them? Who could have told them?

"Oh a plan is there," Blossom catches on behind me.

I refuse to look her.

Play it cool.

"What are you guys talking about."

The Amoeba boys all laugh among themselves.

"We know you're just trying to get the 30 million dollars for killing the Powerpuff's yourselves,"

I whistle. "30 million!" Holy hell is that a lot of freaking money!

"What!" Blossom moves from behind me. "I knew it! You were in it for money!"

"Money has nothing to do with it," I reply frowning back at the Amoeba boys, thinking it through. "Who told you about the 30 million?"

"Mojo Jojo told us yesterday! Set a wager of 30 million for whoever can eliminate the girls," the lanky one explains now telling me everything I needed to know.

"What!" Again, Blossom repeats shock.

Now everything is making sense. Mojo's warning yesterday- the fact that they are here. 30 million- please, how idiotic can these people be.

I sigh tilting me cap around the other end. Sure my leg was hurting like hell, but there's no way I'm going to get out of this if I don't fight. So I guess suck it up. It's not the first time I had to fight when I was injured, this is nothing.

"Well guys I'm sorry to say you've been punk and are wrong," I limp forward grinning now.

"Punk? We're not idiots!" The boss in the group accuse lifting the gun at me.

"Yeah we're not idiots," the shorter one repeats.

"You are," I say. "Because Mojo doesn't have 30 million freaking dollars. Come on, if he had that amount of money he wouldn't be stuck in jail right now! Sure as hell wouldn't be here at Townsville if he had that amount of money. He played you all for fools."

"Is he right boss?" the lanky one turn to the main one.

"He's lying!" The main one accuse. "He just wants the money all to himself! But we won't step down! Move aside Rowdyruff! We got business to complete and once she's gone taking the other two will be easy!" He chuckles.

"I can't do that guys," I reply shrugging casually. "Because my job is to protect her and that's exactly what I'm going to do."

That's when I act, I aim to knock the gun out the way first. The act of surprise was what I was expecting because that bought me enough time to try and beat these three up before they had time to know what was going on. Before they fully can react I am already swinging my fists around, and kicking on all three of them. Only one thing was in my head: Protect Blossom.

Blossom

When I think I finally understand him, he pulls this stunt.

Who in the world really is Brick? I can't figure him out, and the frustrates me. He's a criminal, a trouble maker, that much I actually know, so why is he doing this…for me? Why is he even my bodyguard if he has connections like these? What makes him want to risk his life to save mine? He says he's not in it for money but what else can he be in for then. People like him have something plan under their sleeves, in his case under his cap. I just wish I knew what it was.

I take a step back abruptly now as the short member falls right by my side where Brick just gave him a black eye. When I look back at Brick I see him gritting his teeth when the other amoeba member kick him right in his leg. Still he twists around and sends a full punch right into the other amoeba boy gut.

I narrow my eyes, clenching my fist. I can't let him fight them all on his own. Here goes nothing- I brush right through the main boss and swing my arm across right into him, adding a kick while I'm at it.

"Blossom what are you doing!" Brick flips the shorter one again, shooting me a look.

A smug smile tucks at my lips, pushing my long orange hair out the way, I raise my leg up to kick the side of the tall one's face. He doubles into the ground. "I can handle myself," I answer Brick proud of myself.

Just because I was born in the mansion didn't mean I didn't know how to fight. My sisters and I were taught self-defense since little, but even then it was natural. As if it was in our genes to fight. Although those genes definitely spark more on Buttercup than either Bubbles or me.

Before the short one can get up again, I head over and deal with him. Leaving Brick to deal with the main one first.

A loud scream suddenly escapes again. Just like yesterday. Both Brick and I cover our ears as windows start to break across and cars begin to beep like crazy.

What can that be? I uncover my ears right as the main boss takes the opportunity that we got distracted to attack.

"Aha! I got you Powerpuff!" The Amoeba boss gloats as one arm wraps around my neck and the other points the gun back at Brick. "I win!"

I elbow him back now strongly, getting out of his grasp as he wheezes.

"No!" The boss groans, my eyes catching on the flex of his finger in the gun pointing at me.

I don't think- I pucker my lips and I blow out.

Cold, icy breath escapes my mouth and it freezes the amoeba boy leader before the trigger was fully push. He turns into an ice sculpture as I stop, taking a step back.

"What the…-," Brick limps over to me speechless. "Did you just-"

"I'm not a typical girl," I respond sighing, now that the secret was out, I guess it's too late to take it back now. Instead of explaining I decide I got to help us get out of here. If what these amoeba boys said was true then we are on the main target list in all of Townsville. I grab Brick arm and help him steady himself. "We can talk about this later. First we have to get out of here," my leadership skills showing.

"Oh we're so talking about it," Brick respond, his eyes narrowing. "You have powers, no wonder he wanted you-"

"Who are you talking about?" I turn to look at him, confuse. "Mojo?"

Brick pulls his arm away from me abruptly. "No someone ten times worse than Mojo, someone I can't even mention because I hate him to bits."

"Who," I ask cautiously.

"Forget it," Brick responds, limping forward.

I look back at the Amoeba boys one frozen, the other two groaning in the ground but recovering, remembering suddenly why I came out here with Brick.

"Oh gosh, Buttercup and Butch are still missing I completely forgot!" As soon as I find Buttercup she has another thing coming for worrying me so much. Honestly she gets a whole crapload of trouble for no good reason.

"I don't think we'll have to worry about that," Brick comments a small smug like smirk pulling in his lips, stopping at the corner of the street. I come beside him to look. What on earth! My surprise is so obvious in my face when I see Buttercup and Butch fighting against Fuzzy Lumpkins and a group of others dress in robbing mask. While at the other end I even see Bubbles tying up two of the members from the Greenbang gang with the help of Boomer.

Bubbles!

"Eat dirt you freaking asshole!" Buttercup calls jumping on Fuzzy and twisting her arm behind his back while he slams him into the car. "You try shooting me again I swear I'll make a plushy out of you!"

"Haha Good one," Butch laughs, slamming the heads of the ones in robbing mask together.

My eyes finally do travel to the car to realize it was my dad's car. Completely total.

"Now stay!" Bubbles orders cheerfully as she pull out her phone. "I'm about to call the Police! So don't try anything fishy!-Keep a watch on him Boomer."

Boomer nods back at her.

"Oh my God how did this happen!"

My hands go to my hips. What are my sisters doing!

"I aint gonna lose to you rottin' big mouth girl!" Fuzzy shouts back at Buttercup. "I'm gonna get the money!"

"No we are!" The ones in black masks groan sitting up, only for Butch to head punch all three a moment later, blood staining in his hands.

"No we're getting the cash!" A member from the Greenbang gang says trying to untie themselves.

"I can't believe this!" I walk forward yelling.

This whole situation in front of me is preposterous.

"Blossom!" Buttercup and Bubbles both turn to me relieve. It's not until they are looking at me that I see how Bubbles has scratches and blood coming from her arm. Don't even get me started on Buttercup. Buttercup look like a freaking living corpse.

"You're okay!" Bubbles cheers walking over to me, she instantly swings her arms around me. "We were so worried about you!"

"What happened Bubbles!" I hug my younger sister back.

But that's exactly when the police did arrive, the whole police force and cops surround us as a helicopter light shines above us.

"Everyone freeze! Put your hands up! You are all under arrest."

I sigh lifting my hands up in the air. Because literally this day couldn't get any weirder.

Brick

"Stop pacing Blossom,"I tell her for the 10th time since they jam all of us in a jail cell.

"I just can't believe this!" She keeps murmuring as she continues to pace, her hand on her forehead. "I just can't."

Says the girl that can literally breathe ice, I think sarcastically and slightly amuse with her reaction.

"HEY! We're not supposed to be in here! They were going to kill us! HEY!" Buttercup yells out into the hallway. "Do you hear what I'm SAYING! WE ARE NOT THE CRIMINALS HERE! COME OVER HERE AND LET US GO ALREADY DIMWITS!"

"How can they not hear you with your damn YELLING!" Butch yells back at Buttercup.

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO IS YELLING DUMBASS!" Buttercup yells back at him narrowing her green eyes back at him.

Looks like they're just about getting started.

"BECAUSE YOU'RE YELLING BRAT!" Butch yells back at her.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME BASTARD!" Buttercup yells in return right as Blossom yells at both of them having enough.

"BUTTERCUP, BUTCH SHUT UP!" She blows up in both of them, scowling them. In a way it made her look damn hot when she was so frustrated like that. Who would have thought pushing Blossoms's button would eventually be so entertaining? I make a mental note of it.

"I think we should look at the positive," Bubbles comments. "I mean yes, we're in a dirty, ugly, smelly, cold place but look we're all okay and alive! That's like…a miracle!" The blond says cheerfully.

"We wouldn't be here if Blossom and Brick weren't in danger to begin with," Buttercup mentions crossing her arms and glaring at her sister.

Blossom mirrors her reactions, angry. "Uh we wouldn't have been in danger if Brick and I weren't looking for you two! Who by the way were gone all yesterday! You went skateboarding you said! Jeez BC where did you go? To the other side of the COUNTRY!"

"Let me remind you again Blossom you are NOT MY MOM!" Buttercup retaliates. "I can do anything I want!"

"Oh really how did that play out for you when you ran away and when we found you, you were on the emergency room of Townsville's hospital! Almost dead!"

"H-Hey How about the fact Buttercup can totally hotwire a car! Isn't that awesome?" Bubbles jumps up, nervously getting in between, trying to cheer everyone up. "I guess we're all just so awesome!-"

Buttercup pushes Bubbles out the way to come face to face with Blossom.

"So? You wouldn't have lasted two weeks either miss goodie two shoes!" Buttercup yells. "You wouldn't do anything to mess up your perfect reputation or your good perfect record! Yuck!"

I sit up from the jail bed I was lying on, knowing where this might go. Considering I also had two brothers that annoy the hell of me sometimes, I can tell a fight was about to ensure. Butch looks like he wanted them to fight. Boomer on the other hand look more like he wanted to give them space to deal with their own fights. Which signals me out as the one to step in.

"Ugh you are insufferable Buttercup that's why Mitch dump you!" Blossom explodes before blinking back.

All of us became silent.

Blossom eyes widen as if she didn't realize what she said out loud. "Wait- I didn't mean-"

Buttercup glare fire pits, a tinge of red seen in the middle of her pupils. "At least he wanted me unlike Mat who cheated on you cause you weren't good enough!"

"Y-You take that back!" Blossom glares back, her eyes narrowing dangerously.

"No!"

I dash up right as both were about to lunge forward at each other. "Whoa whoa, as amusing as it is to see two chicks fight, frankly I'm not feeling up to it so let's not get more physical here." I say holding Blossom and Buttercup apart.

"Yes! Thank you Brick!" Bubbles sighs in relief.

"Let's talk business now," I murmur. "Thing is Mojo has a huge wager against all three of your deaths. Now why I don't know-"" Half lie, I'm pretty sure it has to do with their so call father and the fact that they might all have powers might add to that. Hell, what shit did I get myself into when I took this bodyguard duty. "But that means in the next couple of days there's going to be people out there who are going to try to get you three."

"So what do we do?" Boomer frowns, I knew he was asking a bit more about what Butch, him, and I are going to do now that this happen. Our plan didn't involve risking our lives to save these girls like real bodyguards. They were our key to our revenge plan. That's all they are. But here we are and I still don't get a sense of stopping despite what crazy hell happen today.

Do I call it off? Do we continue, knowing that we might end up dead for real?

"My my- what a situation we have here," the chilly voice of my worst nightmares sounds behind me and I still completely.

It can't be…It's can't be him.

"Dad!" The girls call out.

I don't want to turn, but I do. I glance up and see him. In a red suit, black pitch eyes, and hair.

I grit my teeth automatically, fire burning inside of me looking at him. Behind me Boomer and Butch have the same reaction. Butch is shaking trying to control his anger. While I have to lock my jaw together to keep from bursting and killing this mother f-ing son of a bitch.

"Gone only a couple days, and I come back to see my daughters in jail, one of my cars completely destroyed, and even with their bodyguards" he says in the same chilling voice. "This will have CONSEQUENCES!" His voice suddenly change at the end, going deep enough that Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles all cringe. "Now let's go. You're all grounded!"

The jail bars open and the girls all go out without another word.

We remain back. Frozen.

"Oh- hello boys," The man voice changes again. "Sorry I haven't had time to introduce myself I'm Steve."

"We fucking know who-!" Butch blurts out furious and I have literally jam my own fist on Butch to shut him up.

"I-I," I grit my teeth. Fuck I can do this. I'll kill him, but not now. Not yet. Wait. "Sorry. Butch can be a bit brute," I say though I feel like spitting acid. "We're your daughter's bodyguards."

He stays staring.

"I'm glad you three are their bodyguards. You save them tonight. I definitely owe you three, come, let's get back and rest. You three must be exhausted." He turns around and walks off.

"Ugh! What was the damn hit for! I could have taken him!" Butch grumbles touching his stomach and glaring at me.

"We can't let our plan fuck up because of you," I retort back. "Don't you think I wanted to beat the hell out of him too. Think before you act Butch!"

"We had him right here. We're going to see him every day," Boomer says angrily. "And not do anything?! When are we going to end him!"

"We can't now!" I argue. "We have to wait for the perfect time."

"When will that be?" Boomer argues. "Because it seems this whole plan is falling apart! This bodyguard stuff isn't us! We're risking our lives for these girls and for what? To wait until we find a way to kill Steve the best way when we can just do it now and leave the girls alone."

I frown back at my younger brother. "Sounds to me like you want off the plan Boomer."

"Yeah Boomer do you want out of the plan? Did hanging around that blond sweet one make you sensible," Butch snickers. "Do you have a thing for Bubbles?"

"Of course not!" Boomer replies.

"You better not," I respond quickly. "We can't catch feelings for any of them, not Bubbles, not Buttercup, and not Blossom! –," a flash of Blossom kiss comes in my head. Ugh. "In fact I think it's time we step up our game, no more fooling around we have to complete it. No falling in love."

Bubbles

The way home was too quiet. No one even spoke. I'm just so glad that the crazy shananingans are over. I still remember how after the scream came how other people not just Fuzzy came out trying to kill us. But Boomer intervene. Buttercup and Butch took the moment of my scream to come out of the car and instantly they were already fighting them head on.

It was Boomer that gave me some slight confidence to fight back, when I saw him defending me. Using my sweater I had tied the two members of the Greengang gang that tried to attack me.

I smile now looking over to him. But he was serious, just like his brothers. I wonder what's wrong? Ever since my dad appear the boys have all been acting weird. I feel like I'm the only one that notices how the boy's mood change.

Come to think of it, there's a lot I really don't know about Boomer. Today I saw an entire different side too. I glance at the window now as my heart beats. But the funny thing is….I kind of want to know more about him. I want to push his blond hair out of his eyes to see those deep blue eyes of his. I want to touch him. I want to ask him about his life outside of bodyguard duty.

His father. His mother. His likes. His dislikes.

I want to know the real him, because I know he's hiding something from me.

But I want him to trust me and I …I kind of want him to touch me too.

AH! That came out a bit more dirty than what I meant.

A blush reaches my cheek because it's not just about that. Part of me wants him to like me.

Could it be…that I'm falling too fast?

My eyes widen suddenly. Could all the feelings be a result that I like him a little more than a friend?

"Ack! No- no way!" I burst out shaking my head suddenly as everyone in car now focus on my outburst. My blush increases as I gave a nervous giggle and look outside the window again, through the reflection of the mirror I see him and a smile naturally pulls at my lips as I dreamily sigh.

Okay. Maybe I am falling for him. Maybe he'll fall for me too. I cross my fingers.

~~AH Bubbles is such a sweetie! Please Review~~
