flashback
"its not fair! why are you taller than me!?" Brick complained. he wore a striped red and black t-shirt with the DC logo on the front, blue denim jeans, red and white sneakers and a red baseball cap while his armpit-length hair was tied in a high ponytail and went through the hole the clasp of his hat formed.
"I don't know" Fiona shrugged. she wore a desaturated red t-shirt, blue overall shorts and brown leather ankle boots while her shoulder-length dark brown hair was tied in pigtails.
"you're four months younger than us but I have to look up at you when I'm not flying!" Brick grumbled.
"don't worry Brick, I'm sure you guys will get your growth spurt too!" Oliver said, rubbing his hand against Bricks hat. he wore a bright yellow t-shirt, denim shorts, bright green sandals and sunglasses while his neck-length black hair was combed back.
"yeah right. its not like I'll wake up one day and suddenly I'm your height" Brick rolled his eyes.
"oh my God I woke up and suddenly I'm Fionas height" Brick muttered, staring at his reflection in the mirror. he wore an over-sized desaturated red t-shirt with a random meme on the front, dark red sweatpants and white socks while his hair was loose down his back. along with that, he was about a foot taller and his ears were pointed.
"why are my ears pointed?" he asked himself, flapping his ears as he stared at them in the mirror.
"oh its probably because of HIM" the red-haired boy realized.
"guys! wake up! I gotta see if you got taller too!" Brick declared as he ran into the bedroom.
the room had a pair of bunk beds against the left wall, the bottom red and the top green while across the room was a blue bed. there was a chest of drawers at the end of the blue bed, a closet against the wall next to the clutter-filled desk on the left and another closet at the end of the bunk beds. finishing off the room was a pastel fluffy rug in the middle of the room.
"Bri what are you talking about?" Butch asked, sleepily leaning over the railing of the top bunk. he wore a baggy bright green t-shirt with the words 'too cool for school' written on the front, no pants and white socks while his shoulder-length hair was down and covering half of his face. his pointy ears were drooping down.
"I went to get a glass of water from the kitchen and then I looked in the mirror and saw I'm taller and have pointy ears! you do too!" Brick explained, pointing his fingerless hand at Butch.
"do I have it too?" Boomer asked, sitting up straight in bed. he wore matching light blue pajamas with a pineapple pattern while his neck-length blonde hair was pushed behind his perked up pointed ears.
"yeah! I think this might be like, a puberty thing" Brick replied, lifting his arm and sniffing his armpit.
"why the heck would puberty give us pointy ears?" Boomer questioned.
"its probably a side effect of HIM reviving us" Brick spoke.
"plus Mojo Jojo has pointy ears" Butch added.
"oh, I did not think of that" Brick replied.
"woah! you're so tall!" Diana laughed, looking straight ahead at Brick. she wore a yellow shirt, blue overalls, black loafers and a blue sunhat with a fake dandelion flower on the front while her wavy shoulder-length light blonde hair was tied in a low ponytail.
"I know! its awesome! and look at this!" Brick replied, pushing his hair back to reveal his ears. he wore a bright red t-shirt, denim pants, red and white sneakers and a red baseball cap while his armpit-length hair was tied in a high ponytail and went through the hole the clasp of his hat formed.
"wow! do they do anything?" Moana asked, flicking Bricks ear. he wore a plaid white and dark-ish blue t-shirt, a blue denim jacket, beige shorts and dark-ish desaturated blue and white sneakers.
"not that I know of!" Brick replied.
Moana gently grabbed his ear between his finger and thumb and began wiggling it.
Brick laughed before swatting his hand away.
"ow!" Moana shrieked as he pulled his wrist to his chest.
"oh I'm so, so sorry! I forgot my strength. I'm still not used to touching people who can't handle my powers" Brick apologized.
"no, no. it's okay. I shouldn't have done that" Moana replied, his wrist already bruising.
present time
"so that's how you got pointy ears?" Violet asked, sitting on the porch steps of the Willson house. she wore a white frill sleeve shirt, blue jeans, dark brown boots and a bracelet around her wrist while her hair was in a short braid.
"yep" Brick confirmed next to her. he wore a desaturated red t-shirt, blue overalls, red and white sneakers and a straw hat while his hair was tied in a longer braid.
"does it give you any advantages or anything?" Violet questioned.
"eh. I've only noticed two things and the first is that our powers are stronger but that's just puberty" Brick replied.
"definitely just puberty" she nodded.
"the other thing is depending on our emotions our ears will perk up or droop down. like last week when Boomer dropped his notebook in a puddle waiting for the rest of the 'creative crew' and he came home looking like his ears were gonna fall off with how low they were" Brick explained.
"or like now with Butch and his demonic looking face" he continued, gesturing to Butch sitting nearby like a frog with a devilish grin on his face and his ears pointed up like horns. he wore his usual hunting outfit, a green shirt with the elbows stained with dirt, beige short overalls and green and white sneakers.
"how long has he done this?" Violet asked.
"since he caught a squirrel in the crops and then got assigned hunting pests as his first chore. so about seven years" Brick shrugged.
