Brute

"B-Butch?!" She had little time to react as Butch pressed his lips against her's. 'Damn damn damn it! I shouldn't be so WEAK! Was this it?! Was Butch just using me?!' Brute growled as tears pricked her eyes. "Get THE HELL OFF!" She roared as she sent a wave of green wind in a foreword arc in hopes of knocking Butch off. "I won't.. I won't BE USED LIKE THIS!" She cried tears running done her face as a sign of weakness.

[tomaszavenger]

Butch

Butch was shocked as Brute threw him off in one clean sweep. He was knocked into the cieling, causing it to crumble and dust to fall off onto the bed.

Butch felt gravity take a hold of him, and before he could react he slammed into the floor.

Butch got up off the floor, ignoring his minor wounds and flew back next to Brute. She was crying and upset.

Butch regained control, his feelings had come out too quickly, and had caused harm. He calmed himself before he came next to Brute.

"I'm sorry... errr.... I really like you a lot... and I let my feelings get the better of me... I'm sorry Brute." Butch said, a sympathetic look in his eyes, and he held out a hand to Brute.

"Brute... I'm sorry... I probably should... look... what I'm trying to say is..." Butch said, finding difficulty in completing the sentance. He stammered and choked on his words, finding it difficult to retain control. Sadness had overwhelmed him. He was in love with her... he didn't want her to escape from him.

Brat

Brat frowned, noticing he got away.

I'll get him for this.

Going red, she reached for her burned clothes, pathetically trying to get them on for now. After a little struggling, she managed to pull them on so that they somewhat stayed. She was in no shape to go looking for anyone right now anyway.

"B-Butterc-cup......can we go home now?"

BC

Buttercup glared at the retreating Rowdyruff, wanting so badly just to pursue him and beat him to a pulp for embarrassing her friend.

She reluctantly turned her gaze to Brat and offered her a hand.

"Let's fly home really fast, okay? That way no one will be able to notice your...um...situation."

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Lips trembling, Brat accepted the hand offered to her. She clung helplessly to the burnt rags limply hanging from her trembling frame. Now that the stimulation of the moment was gone, she realized just how embarrassing of a situation if actually was. Tearing up, Brat held back a small sob.

She didn't want this. She didn't want to go through situations like this again.


But you and I both know we loved the attention

Gasping slightly, Brat hastily pushed the thought aside. She couldn't think like that anymore, but if she kept denying who she used to be........

I could end up more messed up than usual.....I don't want to become separate from myself. I can't refer to....me......as....her anymore.

When she had gone through her changes with her mentor, she had taken to referring to her past self as 'her'. She was ashamed of how she was before and no longer wanted anything to do with it. That's when she started talking to her. It was little whispers at first, things easily ignored. But it had gotten worse the more she reformed.

And I'm not helping........She was me.....I can't deny it anymore or this could turn into something more complicated than I want....

She realized that she had blanked out, and blushed.

Nothing but a burden.....

Then she felt the tears.

Crying......why am I....?

She was baffled, but it was true. Steadily, the tears had begun to flow down her cheeks. Sucking in a strangled breath, she attempted to halt the flow of her tears.

Once I start.......that's why I never cried before........

She clutched Buttercup's hand tighter, like a small child reaching for her blanket.

"O-okay.....l-let's go....."

[tomaszavenger]

Berserk

Berserk noticed Brick flying out of the bank.

Oh... so it was him... hehehehehe!

Berserk pursued Brick for a while. The police were annoying her, and she couldn't be bothered to fight them anymore. She had killed quite a few, and Brat hadn't even shown up outside.

Honestly... she's the worst superhero ever... I'd expect her to show up in such a big mess. Maybe she knows I'm onto her. This will be tricky...

Berserk sped until she caught up with Brick. He seemed disgusted by something, and he was avoiding eye contact.

"Hey Brink! Were you robbing that bank?" she asked, unaware of the fact he had been in contact with Brat.

[Yetisarge]

Zim finally reached the middle of town and wondered what the hell all the police were doing around town, and then he found out.

Apparently a few super humans were causing a huge problem down town.

"Could it possibly be those stupid little Power puffs? and or Rowdy Ruffs? But they disappear a few years ago? Or.. did they just fake it and go into hidding? I have to find out." Zim said as he ran ahead and tried to find his way into were the chaos was happening.

[gaarafan15]

Aku

A dark shadow loomed over the outskirts of megaville. Aku, the demon wizard looked at the city with mild interest. How long had it been since he had ventured out into the sunlight? He was now fully recovered, and ready. Aku had sensed something coming from this city. IF he was right, then there were beings in this city that could help him eliminate that foolish samurai, Jack. Chuckling to himself, Aku transformed himself into a eagle, and flew into the heart of the city. When no one was looking, he transfomred into a young man, with a black goatee, a black leather coat, black pants, and red spiky hair.

"Now then, Let the hunt begin."

Walking out onto the street, Aku noticed how the human culture had changed since he was last on the surface. Chuclking to himself, he continued onward, none even the least beit suspiciouse. He wondered what he would have to do inorder to inorder to draw out some of the powers he sensed. snnaping his fingers, the building infront of Aku burst into flames.

"Lets see who comes now."

[Nekoman]

Brick, without turning to face his new annotance, spoke in a low, gravelly voice.

"Brat's got friends.." He left the air open as he slowed down and turned to face her. He expected an outburst from her, considering he had just found, and failed to capture, her target.

[charli]

~Blossom~

Blossom gritted her teeth as she surveyed the damage out side of the bank. It had been so long since she had really flown that it was difficult to reach the type of speed she would have needed to get here just a minute or two sooner. Now, eight officers were dead, and six more were wounded.

"Excuse me," a young man said, approaching her. "This is a restricted area, miss."

Blossom flashed her badge at the officer - that shut him up - and then proceeded to ask, "What happened here? Who did this?"

He really was a young thing. This had probably been his first real job in the field. The kid looked visibly shaken as he answered, "It was insane. This girl grabbed a gun, then flew up into the air and started shooting. When she ran out of ammo, she started firing energy blasts. We returned fire, but the bullets just bounced off of her."

"What did she look like?" Blossom inquired, narrowing her eyes.

"Actually..." the officer mused, "a lot like you. But more - I dunno - deranged. Yeah, like your evil twin." Then it dawned on him. "Hey, your ID said your name was Blossom. Blossom the PowerPuff Girl?"

"Don't spread it around," Blossom hissed. "There are others like me and the other girl in the city, and I'm trying my best to keep up with them, but it's dangerous. If you guys run into something like this again, find cover and do your best to dig in until they leave. I won't be late next time."

His eyes widened at the steel in her voice, and he nodded. "Uh, would it help if I said that when she flew off, she went that way?" He pointed off into the distance.

Blossom smiled. "Yes, that would help very much." And with that, she flew off. I won't let them get away again. People are dying, and I have to stop it.

[Kat]

Buttercup

Buttercup held tight to Brat's hand, and they flew off, leaving their greenandblue streaks behind them.

BC had always thought that the pink kinda balanced their formation, but also that blueandgreen was a very complimentary combination.

They ended up flying right into BC's room, through a window that was left open.

[TrickyLA]

Brat

As soon as they finished flying, Brat landed on the floor limply. Dully, she wrapped and arm around herself to steady her shaking form. In a voice that was barely a whisper, Brat addressed her new friend.

"Thank you for everything Buttercup......I'm glad we're friends....."

Sniffling one last time, she hung her head and headed for the door. She was sure Buttercup wouldn't want to see her again for a long time after all of this.

[Kat]

Buttercup

Buttercup smiled sadly and walked with Brat to the door.

As she stuck her head into the hallway, she smelled a strange smoke, coming from the apartment across the hall.

Arken...?

She strode across to his door, knocking, even though it was slightly ajar.

"Hello?..."

[charli]

~Blossom~

Flying low above the buildings and sticking to the middle, Blossom tried to avoid detection as she raced to catch up with her quarry. Her mind flashed briefly to Buttercup's apartment. She had been less than a block away and had just flown off. But surely it was a higher priority to go after who ever was blasting up the city. ...Wasn't it?

The sudden doubt distracted Blossom just long enough for her to lose track of where she was and dip down just low enough for her foot to catch on a vent sticking up from a building. With a jerk, the pipe was pulled a foot or so from the roof, and Blossom was sent catapulting into the rough surface. She managed to turn onto her right side at the last second to break the fall, but she still hit the roof harder than was healthy. Swearing loudly, she picked herself up, holding her scraped up arm. At least she was wearing sturdy flare legged jeans and a sleeveless shirt - pastel pink, of course. The tank top actually read "Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice." It was an ironic contrast to the twisted expression of frustration that she wore on her face now. It sucked that she couldn't fly as well as she used to. It sucked that her official job had her stuck two stories underground with a bunch of crime scene evidence and guys who didn't get out enough. It sucked that Buttercup and Bubbles were God knows where, and it sucked that people were dying because of her own inadequacy.

The bun in her hair had been mussed in the fall, so, not wanting to spend the time to actually fix it, Blossom ripped the ribbon out and pulled her hair up into a simple high ponytail. It wasn't as long as it used to be, but that was probably just as well. Tying the ribbon around her neck, she shifted her weight on her white Vans and then launched herself into the air, rocketing towards the super who had fucked with the policemen.

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Despite her current mood, Brat was happy that Buttercup cared enough to show her the door. She took one step out and smelled the smoke.

What?

Her eyes suddenly set into a determined gaze. This was no time to mope around and she knew it.

What could have happened...

Briskly walking to her room, she flung open her drawers and hurriedly got redressed. The outfit was much similar to the first, she rather liked the other outfit. Walking back into the hallway, she rose her head for the first time and took a big wiff.

Explosion? But from what?

She spotted Buttercup by a door, she didn't know whose door but she could make a good guess.

Afterall, how many of us live on the fifth floor......

She didn't particularly care for Arken after what he did to her friend. But, the thought that he could be hurt still troubled her.

I hope he's okay...

Walking confidently, she placed a hand on Buttercup's shoulder.

"Together?"

[Kat]

Buttercup

Buttercup looked over at Brat, afraid of what she might find if she walked in there alone. If they went together, it might not be so bad...whatever it was.

She took a breath "Together." she nodded.

She pushed open the door the rest of the way to come across the scene of a blast zone.

"Oh my God..." she breathed.

She knelt down to touch Arken's still body, checking for signs of life. Poor Buttercup shook his shoulder softly, calling his name.

"Hey, Arken...Arken, you freak, wake up."

[Nekoman]

Before Brick could get a response from his violent partner, Brick fell several dozen feet, stopping on the blacktop roof of an office building. He fell to a knee, then held his hand in front of him. He shakingly stood again, and sturdied himself.

I guess that fight took more out of me than I thought.. I think I need to hold off on the speed.

Brick set off in a hover up to Beserk, and as he neared her again, out of teh his peripheral vision, he caught a pink streak.

"What in the hell?" He turned to face the unknown visitor.

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat sucked in a breath. No matter how she felt about him before now, she knew she didn't want him DEAD. Kneeling with Buttercup, she gazed tiredly at the body.

"What do you think....happened in here....?"

If she was going into a sort of shock from this, she could only imagine what Buttercup was feeling. Awkwardly, she squeezed her shoulder for reassurance.

This looks bad...what could have happened?

That's when she spied the case.

"What's that.....?"

[Wolfy]

Arken

Arken woke up, having felt being shaken and hearing someone call his name. The voice seemed familiar...but he couldn't place it at the moment.

He pushed himself off of the ground, as best he could with one arm. He sat up, looked around, and noticed someone at his side. His vision was a bit blurry, so he couldn't tell who it was. He blinked a couple of times, then saw who it was.

...Buttercup.

He said to her weakly "B-Buttercup? You...You're back..."

Next, he peered down at his arm. "Yep...Arm's still gone..." he said with a slight groan.

He then saw Brat out of the corner of his eye and said "Hey Brat...C-Can you hand me that case?"

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat sighed in relief. If he was well enough to make jokes about his arm, then he was well enough not to be too worried about. Still, it irked her that he made them worry....

Placing a light sneer on her face, she swatted his head playfully.

"Jerk! You had us worried! ><"

She picked up the case, and handed it to Arken regardless. She eyes Buttercup out of the corner of her eye though, she didn't want her to be too upset.

"What happened here....if you don't mine me asking....."

[charli]

~Blossom~

Brick. She should have known. And that had to be the girl from the bank flying next to him. Snarling, Blossom charged her energy crossbow and fired three bolts at them.

[Nekoman]

Brick bareley managed to dodge two of the bolts, though one nicked his cheek. The las one headed for Beserk.

Brick flew at the assulter, but stopped in mid-air when he got close enough to see her face.

No.. way.. right now? Right now!?

[Wolfy]

Arken

"It's...Nothing." Arken told Brat in reply. "Just a tiny experiment."

Arken took the black case and opened it. Inside were bandages and other medical supplies, along with some small, green glowing pills. He reached for a pill, but instead grabbed the bandages. In a matter of moments, his arm (Or lack thereof) was bandaged and no longer bleeding.

"I'll fix my arm up fully later." He said to no one in particular. "The process won't be very fun, and I'd like to put that off for as long as possible."

[charli]

~Blossom~

"So, you're back," Blossom growled, pulling up to a stop a few yards from Brick. "I had a feeling that you were behind all this crud, but I didn't know that you were with her." She gestured with her chin to the red-clad girl. "I suppose you were in on the shit at the bank as well." Glaring, she leveled her crossbow at Brick with one hand and pulled out her badge with the other. "Both of you, get down on the ground now. You're under arrest."

[Nekoman]

"Blossom.. Yeah, I robbed the bank, but I didn't harm anyone! You've completeley forgotten what I'm like, haven't you?"

Of course she hasn't, Brick. A back-stabbing power-hungry asshole..

Brick's inner frustration showed on his face as an expression of anger and regret.

"Forget it Blossom, I'm not going to jail."

[charli]

~Blossom~

In spite of herself, her hand quivered. She had envisioned this so many times, her shooting Brick's balls off. (Figuratively? Literally? She wasn't sure she knew, herself.) She just couldn't seem to do it, though.

A little rougher than necessary, she shoved her ID back into the back pocket of her jeans. "You say you didn't hurt anyone at the bank. Then why does it look like a fricking war zone? Those burns have your name written all over them."

Don't do this, a voice whispered in her head. Don't let him convince you. Read him his rights, and haul him in.

But... But I don't want to.

[Nekoman]

Spill it, Brick, earn her trust..

"The burns were me, yes.. but I was.. pursuing someone.. I didn't hurt any civilians, It was.. at least, I think it was.." Brick's eyes darted over to Beserk.

I didn't say rat her out!!

BERSERK OR BLOSSOM!? It's that simple.

"Please, Bloss, I don't want to fight."

[charli]

~Blossom~

Bloss? Oh, that did it. At the unwanted memories the nickname brought, her anger flared back up again in an instant, and she dispelled the crossbow because she wanted the satisfaction of feeling her fist connect with his face. And connect it did. "You son of a bitch!" she yelled, tears beginning to roll down her face. She tried to punch him again, but everything she'd been keeping locked up was now doing it's damnedest to escape as quickly as possible, and Blossom was quickly reduced to ragged sobs.

[Nekoman]

Brick quietly took took the first hit, keeping his promise of non-violence. When he recoiled from it though, and got the pathetic tap of her second punch on him though, he grabbed her wrist. She started to cry, and he quickly pulled her into an embrace. He released her as quickly as he had hugged her however, and now spoke in a stern voice, with but the slightest unertone of concern.

"Blossom," He spoke, resorting back to her regular name again, "Don't cry. C'mon, you're the powerpuff leader! Punch me, kick me, pummel me into the ground! Look.." he held up his own trembling hand, "I've bareley got the energy to fly, take revenge! I know I deserve it!"

Just.. don't cry..

[Yetisarge]

Zim finally found a way to sneak past the guards and find what was going on.

"But those.. why would theydo this.. they were always the goody goodies in the town.. what are they doing causing this much trouble? Well I had better find out and get Gir down here." Zim said silently as he pulld out his watch and signalled for Gir to come to his location.

Gir received the message and quickly put on his dog suit and headed out to find Zim.
"I'm coming Master. WEEEE!!!" Gir said loving the felling of flying through the air.

[charli]

~Blossom~

Revenge was a tempting idea. But...

Sniffling, Blossom jerked her wrist out of his grasp. "No," she said, her voice soft and hoarse. "Revenge doesn't mean anything, but justice does. Even if you didn't kill those police officers, she did, and I can't just walk away from that." Her eyes narrowed. "Either help me and prove that you've really changed, or get out of the way."
