This wasn't a challenge but I really wanted to make a few chapters dedicated to the ladies of Dragonball Z. I never see Bulma and Bra interact so I thought this would be interesting
Girl Thing Part 2
It had been several months since Bra had started training with Nia. She had become quite the powerful fighter both in her natural form as well as her elemental and super saiyan forms. Nia had proven to be an excellent mentor to the young bluenette. Although complete opposites in personality, the two saiyans were soul mates.
Bulma was currently watching as Nia fought in her water saiyan form against Bra who was fighting in her Earth saiyan form. Both fighters were going at each other with everything they had allowing their spiritual warriors to unleash their strength.
Admittedly Bulma felt a tinge of jealousy that she would never have a connection with her daughter like the one she had with her aunt. However, she was grateful that the training helped Bra become braver and stronger then Bulma ever hoped to ever be.
When Bulma was young she was adventurous and stubborn. A bored little rich girl that got in way over her head. Never would the bluenette ever describe herself as a fearless or a terribly strong person then or now.
After watching a fantasy show on HBO Bulma started joking, "I bitch and I fix things. That's what I do and you guys only keep me around for the later."
What none of the Z fighters realized was that there was a large seed of truth behind the beautiful woman's joke.
Thanks to Nia's training, Bra would be very different then her mother. This little girl would grow up to be a strong warrior just like her father and her aunt. A tap on Bulma's leg brought the scientist's attention to the smiling face of her little girl who had finished her sparing lesson.
"All done Mommy," Bra announced happily.
Bulma smiled at her daughter before she replied, "Alright warrior princess. Come with mommy to do a few things in the lab at the office."
Bra's face suddenly dropped before she whined, "but Mommy the office and the lab are boring. I don't want to go."
…
Nia curiously observed the interaction between the mother and her young daughter. She watched her dojo go silent as the words escaped the child's mouth. Nia had grown up watching Bulma putting her blood, sweat, and tears into her work. It was her passion and the saiyan knew that her sister in law longed to share that passion with both of her children. To hear one of her children say that they found her work boring no doubt broke the woman's heart.
Bulma would never expose that heartbreak to a stranger let alone to her daughter. Bulma had become quite good at hiding her pain. Especially from Vegeta at the beginning of their relationship, back when he didn't realize how his actions were hurting her.
The saiyan princess became sad for the woman that had become her aunt and sister in law rolled into one. She watched as Bulma smiled away the hurt from her child's words and chuckled as if Bra had told the world's greatest joke.
"Oh please come do boring stuff at Mommy's work. Pllleeeeeeeaaassssseeeeee with a cherry on top," Bulma jokingly pleaded with Bra as she playfully shook her back and forth."
Bra giggled at her mommy's antics before she rolled her eyes and replied, "Fiiine but you owe me ice cream."
Nia smiled sadly as she watched Bulma pick her daughter up and carry her out of the dojo with a big smile on her face.
"Nice cover Bulma," the princess whispered before she turned to go take a shower in the change room.
…
Bulma tried to put the incident at the dojo into the back of her mind and focus on more important matters like spending time with Bra. With Bulma's busy schedule helping to run Capsule Corp and Bra spending most of her time with Nia training meant that the mother and daughter had very little time to spend together.
The blue haired scientist smiled as she enjoyed the moment walking to her office while Bra hummed a song to herself. She couldn't help wondering if her little girl would still go for walks with her after training when she was older.
Before the pair knew it, they had made it to the laboratory at Capsule. Bra amused herself with spinning herself in an empty computer chair while Bulma checked over some final drafts for some new inventions. Bulma had been overseeing a project to help small villages become self-sustained using simple but reliable technology. The scientist suddenly felt like she was being watched and looked up to see her daughter staring at her curiously.
"What is on your mind, my love?" Bulma asked Bra.
The little girl looked at her mother innocently before she asked, "How come you aren't strong like the others?"
Bulma stared at Bra in shock as the child explained, "Aunt Videl, Aunt Chi Chi and Aunt Nia are really strong. Marron's mommy and Miss Launch are super strong to…but you aren't…you're kind of weak."
It took all the bluenette's strength to keep her composure as she tried to hide the fact that her baby just broke her heart. Bra was honest and always spoke her mind. It was something Bulma wanted to encourage in both her children even at the cost of her feelings.
After a few silent minutes Bulma walked over before she knelt in front of her child and said, "Kid, if I were half as fearless and brave as you are maybe I would have been a fighter. Maybe what I do is a little boring but I feel good knowing in my own way I'm helping daddy and the others."
"Well if you're such a saint maybe you won't mind helping us out," a gruff voice said.
With lightning speed Bulma ripped Bra out of the chair and pushed the child behind her before looking in the direction of the owner of the voice. Bulma was terrified to see a large man wearing a mask holding a gun to her trembling assistant's head.
"Bulma I-I'm sorry…he snuck up on me," the poor girl whimpered.
The man laughed before he said, "Not before she screamed like a banshee. No doubt the cops are on their way."
"Look we can do this where nobody gets hurt. Tell me what you want," Bulma said calmly as she felt Bra clinging onto to her leg for dear life.
The man smiled in a way that unsettled Bulma before he replied, "My boss got word of your little good Samaritan project. You might say you're bad for business."
"You want the blueprints," Bulma said in realization.
"You are a smart girl…pretty to," the robber teased as he leered at the bluenette.
Bulma cringed at the robber before she said, "I'm willing to cooperate but there are conditions. First you let my assistant go. Let her take my daughter out of here and I'll go peacefully with you."
The air in the lab was so thick with tension you could cut it with a knife. The robber was silent for a few moments as he considered the proposition before he answered.
"Alright little lady, you got yourself a deal. You and your kid come here. You come with me and they get to go quietly," the man said.
Bulma nodded her head never taking her eyes off the intruder.
"Mommy…"
"It's okay Bra, Mommy has everything under control. Take my hand baby," Bulma whispered to her daughter.
When Bulma felt Bra squeeze her hand, the scientist took a breath before she slowly made her way towards the robber. Bulma knew she was taking an incredible risk doing this but she really didn't have time to think of a better plan. At least if she knew that if Bra was safe then she could come up with something better.
As they got closer Bulma slowly started to feel relief when she saw the robber remove his knife from Sari's neck. Once they were standing in front of the robber Bulma stopped and glared at the intruder.
"Alright you got me. Now let her go so she can take my daughter somewhere safe," Bulma said calmly trying her best to hide how terrified she was of this situation. The man only smiled as he released Sari's arm before he nodded his head to Bulma. Slowly the bluenette guided Bra towards her assistant.
"Mommy come with us," Bra pleaded as Bulma pushed the little girl towards Sari.
"I'll be right there baby. Mommy just has to take care of a little business first," Bulma replied with a reassuring smile on her face.
Bra returned her mother's smile before she made her way over to Sari's side. The little girl watched the robber cautiously as she walked by him. Bra turned her gaze away just for a moment to take Sari's hand when she suddenly felt herself being roughly grabbed by the arm.
The little girl screamed as the robber said, "Change of plans. Pipsqueak is coming with us."
Bra squirmed in the man's grasp but gasped when she was suddenly dropped none to gently. She heard her captor screaming in pain before she turned to see a shocking sight. The thief had his hands covering his nose as blood flowed from in between his fingers. Bulma stood over him with a bloody hand looking completely emotionless.
"You fucking bitch…you broke my nose," the man screamed with rage.
Bulma glared at the man before she calmly replied, "Ya well you broke our deal. You touched my kid so I broke your nose…walk it off."
The furious man was about to attack Bulma but the scientist was quicker. As the man stood up Bulma used all her strength to punch the man in the throat. The intruder coughed violently as he fell on his back from the force of the punch. Before the man knew it, the tiny woman was sitting on his chest and smiling down at him. The man had just enough time to regret his life choices before Bulma punched him out cold.
…
When the police and security ran into the laboratory, they were shocked and confused at what they found. A young woman with black hair cried as she held a little girl with blue hair. Not far away was a large masked man lying on his stomach unconscious while a tiny blue haired woman tied his hands together with duct tape.
All three girls turned when they heard the police approaching. While the black-haired woman and the little girl looked happy to see them, the other woman looked annoyed.
The tiny woman put her hands on her hips before she said, "Well what the hell took you guys so long? Protect and serve my ass."
When the police continued to stare at her in shock Bulma crossed her arms and rolled her eyes before she yelled, "Well get to it already! I practically gift wrapped him for you!"
Bulma only watched for a moment as the police went and untied the intruder to arrest him. She quickly turned her attention to Bra and picked her up out of Sari's arms. Bulma held her daughter tightly as the little girl wrapped her arms around her mother's neck.
"I'm sorry mommy. I'm sorry," Bra whimpered.
Bulma looked at her daughter confused before she asked, "My love what could you possibly be sorry for?"
Bra hiccuped before she replied, "I got scared. I'm the one that's been training but I was too scared to fight back."
Bulma shook her head before she said, "Bra you are six years old and only just begun your training. It's my job to protect you little girl not the other way around."
The little girl was quiet for a moment before she smiled and said, "You get scary when you're mad."
Bulma laughed before she replied, "I may not be as strong as daddy or Goku but if somebody messes with my babies I can turn into a big ol' mama bear."
"I hope I get as strong as you someday mommy," Bra whispered feeling safe as her mommy held her tighter.
