What if the boys weren't made from chemical X?

Bubbles couldn't believe what had just happened. Buttercup had seemingly gone haywire and, hopefully temporarily, gained teleportation mid-battle.

Bubbles had had to force herself to lose control of her body, or as she preferred to say, go into instinct mode in order to stop both Buttercup and Butch before one of them got seriously hurt. now Buttercup was unconscious on the ground, Butch had just snapped out of whatever happened to him and Blossom, Brick and Boomer were standing on the top of a nearby building, having been too scared to intervene.

"a little help here?" Bubbles yelled, looking up at the others.

"oh, right!" Blossom cried before zooming to Bubbles' side.

"so do you know what happened here?" Bubbles asked Butch while Blossom made sure Buttercup was still alive.

"I don't know, we were just fighting when she suddenly started glowing green and went crazy, and then when I was on the ground, I suddenly lost control of my movements, it was like my body was moving on its own!" Butch explained.

"lost control of your body huh?" Bubbles mumbled as she turned her attention from Butch to Buttercup.

5 hours later Bubbles was sitting on the couch reading a book while Blossom ate a sandwich at the table. their dad was currently in the lab.

then Buttercup came downstairs, her ankle in a cast and bandages on her head.

"what happened? the last thing I remember is Bubbles punching me in the face after I had lost control of my body" Buttercup loudly mumbled before groaning in pain. before Blossom could reply, Bubbles did first.

"you went into instinct mode and went crazy" Bubbles explained, putting her book down and standing up.

"instinct mode? is that where I can't control my body and all my powers seem to be amplified?" Buttercup replied.

"yep, although for you, your super speed seems to be amplified to an insane amount, making it look like you can teleport" Bubbles responded, walking over to where Buttercup was floating slightly above the last step of the staircase while leaning on the railing.

"how do you know this?" Blossom asked.

"I go into instinct mode basically every time I'm fighting alone, it seems to be our version of an adrenaline rush, or as it's most often called, fight or flight mode. it also seems the rowdyruff boys have instinct mode too, since Butch went into instinct mode too" Bubbles explained.

"wait, so instinct mode has the glowing pupils thing?" Buttercup questioned.

"yep, I had to force myself to enter instinct mode to stop you and Butch from potentially killing each other" Bubbles replied.

"how did you do that?" Blossom said, urging to know.

"its kinda dark, but I basically pictured Butch killing her" Bubbles explained, gesturing to Buttercup.
