Powerpuff Girls V.2 IC thread.

[tomaszavenger]

Berserk

Damn it... I need to get away! I NEED TO! Unless...

Berserk cast an enticing aura. She rolled her skirt up slightly, and pulled away her bows, letting her hair droop down.

She exited the cubicle she was hiding in, and walked closer to Blossom.

I've preteneded to be lesbian so many times before, this shouldn't be hard.

"Hey gorgeous... knew you'd come after me..." she said with a slur.

[Nekoman]

[Explain the energy thingy just now.]

Brick sighed. He knew this was coming, and he knew what she would see. It wouldn't be possible to conceal, the memory had been haunting him too much the past few days. He just hoped she would be up to explanation afterwards.

He felt her bore into his subconcious, Bunny entering his memories and psyche. She groped around inside his mind, eventually playing back recent memories, then on to deeper ones. She stopeed as a large purple light flashed at her. Playing it back, she saw the arrow, the demons, the fires. Brick had obliterated so many buildings, destroyed and stolen so many lives-- all in the course of a few seconds.

Bunny's eyes welled up, she couldn't help it. All those people, vanquished by someone she could have stopped, someone she could have kept from existing (at least, for a third time). She was certain he was a bad guy, certain he hadn't changed, and she wasn't going to listen to him anymore.

Suddenly Brick's thoughts echoed in hers. He was talking to her, like telepathy, except there were no words, she just.. understood what he was saying, how he was sorry, how he wasn't himself, how he was being controlled by the same entity that now held her sister. Bunny tried to shut him out, but was unsuccessful. Then, without knowing it, she let him into her mind. He had beenpulled into her memories, and was being shown everything that had happened in her life.

Dr. Wakeman, XJ-9, him, his brothers, Dr. Brisbane, even Bell. They all had influence, and all of them made her the way she is. She seemed to even had had a crush on Boomer for a time. Jenny was her best friend, and she taught her how to fight. Wakeman had abadoned her, leaving her to die. Brick never interacted with her, but whenever they saw each other, he gave such a heart piercing stare.. with cold eyes.

Bunny remembered those eyes more than anything elee, and they were more apparent in her memory. But then, in recent memory, he was changed. His face was honest, albeit often annoyed. He was playful, he would laugh off her minor annoyances, and he treated Blossom, her sister, with respect.

Bunny tried to stave off these thoughts, but the truth was there: Brick had changed, Brick was.. a good guy.

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Bubbles sighed, sitting down and leaning on her arms. She didn't feel like looking for herself, she really wasn't talented at it like Bunny. HIM could only show her so much with mind tricks. Frowning, she figured that asshole Brick would try to get her sister against her again. What a prick.

"Hmmmm....."

She yawned, bored, and allowed her senses to drift a bit. She heard screaming, complaining, and wailing. All directed at them.

Stupid ass nature, dumb fucking buildings.....

Didn't they know they were giving her a headache? She ground her teeth together, fighting a headache. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore.

"SHUT UP!!!! STOP CRYING!"

The whimpering and wailing stopped, and she sighed.

"....that's more like it...."

[charli]

What was Berserk doing?! Blossom tried to take a step back as the PowerPunk approached, her eyes smoldering, but her foot moved forward instead. She tried to say, "You're under arrest." But it came out, "I couldn't stay away from you." Her mind screamed and writhed, but her heart ached. Ached for her mirror image, for this girl who was so smart, so strong, so... SO EVIL.

Blossom tried to charge her energy crossbow, to shoot Berserk point blank in the heart, but when she lifted her hand, it was to run her fingers through Berserk's flowing hair. God dammit, what's going on?!

[Nekoman]

[Oh.. I read it wrong.
>.>
<.<
FINE!]

"Bubbles.. Bubbles, does Him have a spell over you?' Bunny's head was spiraling, she didn't know who to trust.

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

".......spell?"

She wanted to immediately deny it, she was her own person afterall. However, it wouldn't come out. She couldn't say that he wasn't controlling her, and it pissed her off.

What gives? Just because HIM used to take advantage of me when I was littler doesn't mean he is now! I am doing this for ME....right?

She shook her head, confused, but it didn't really matter did it. No matter what the case, she was going to do this. Despite everything, HIM had had a point about mankind. She had seen it first-hand afterall.

"Bunny....."

She remembered though, when she was in danger. Those memories came flooding back. The attack, the muteness, and the disgust. Brick, he had helped her back then hadn't he? But he still betrayed them in the end. And Blossom...

She had been too self absorbed to care.

She frowned, reaching into a pocket in her clothes and pulling out her old sketchbook. She eyes the damaged cover, knowing full well of the horrors scribbled inside. She shuddered, opting not to think about it, until finally, she reached for her neck. She reached a black sting and pulled up the orb that she had hidden in her clothes. Her own personal ball of happy thoughts.

Boomer gave this to me...

She giggled upon contact, then stashed it away again. Letting her mind flow like this was unusual for her, but she figured she could let Bunny in for awhile longer. She'd be open about it at least.

"I'm so sorry if this is confusing you."

[emily4twilight]

Gaz finaly calmed down to the point she heard the conversation and put away her wepon, but she was still mad.

So I was right that IS Bubbles.....

"Bubbles......what happen to you?.......why do they appear to be after Berserk?........and why am I near ZIM?? WAIT is my brother hear?!?!

[TheTimeSweeper]

-tFabikcalcer-

tFab was surprised that this person knew his name. Memories (or premonitions) came flooding back to his head and tFab knew for a fact that only a select few knew his name. His sister obviously did, but there was also Bell, Butch, that asshole Daniel, and…Ignatius. This person’s voice had a smooth, masculine tone to it, but tFab could detect some maliciousness in it as well. This wasn’t the voice he remembered hearing in his head so long ago. It was different, but not by much.

“Contractor…? It’s like I’m working for Bell again, but she doesn’t have anything to do with this call…does she?”

tFab swallowed before answering.

“A business proposition, you say, Contractor? Heh, sounds interesting; I could use a change of pace…wait, three questions? What kinds of questions can I ask? Shit, that didn’t count as a question, did it? …Or that one? Damn…” ><

Hoping that the questions he asked did not count as the overall three, tFab took a breath and let it out slowly.

“Questions, questions… I’m going to have to choose carefully or I could end up with more questions than answers…”

He figured that asking what the person’s name really was would be a perfectly good waste of a question so he swallowed again before replying.

“How do you know my name and phone number? Are you from the future as well? And, uh…”

tFab tried to think of a third question that would hopefully give him some more answers as to why he was here in the past, but if he did ask that third question, he would never find out what this so-called business proposition was and who the hell was talking to him. He was just about to take back the two questions that he asked when an idea came to him in the form of his third question – the way for him to get his first two answered and to meet this person at the same time.

“And how exactly do I get to Building 303 at Megaville Park-avenue so that I can meet you in person? My sense of direction is not really what it used to be.”

tFab grinned. He loved finding loopholes in situations such as these.

[Iris]

Ignatius gave a small heartless chuckle, like a man who heard a joke on a funeral, no mood for true humor. "To answer your first set of queries; no those question did not refer to my business proposal, so they do not count."

He looked outside, he needed to think how to answer the last question... He'd have to play a card for the first hand in the game, a gamble if you will.
"To answer your next set, I know your name because I have my contacts, the MIB and JLU owed me a few favors from a couple of months back, a long story that plays no part after this answer for it has no relevance to this meeting."
A lie that nobody save the JLU and MIB would be able to declare as false.

"Needless to say, that was also how I was able to get your number."
Partly true this time, he had CONRAD hack and download fragments of the data he wanted from JLU headquarters, they wouldn't have known since their tech was drastically different.

Ignatius didn't hesitate with the next question, he had expected the possibility that tfab remembered bits and pieces of the future that never will be.
"Past, Present, Future have no meaning. Only to those who behold it can determine their meaning for one man's past is another's future. One man's present is another's past, gleaned from a vision that will ever haunt the seeker as they look for information."
He sidestepped the question to avoid any other problem that might occur when they meet, after he wasn't from that future. Besides, that future would not truly occur since there was only one of Ignatius now...
Lord is that confusing... I hate time travel. Ignatius thought quietly... He smiled behind his faceless mask.

"As for your last question, follow the shadows... They will lead you here."
Of course it was a metaphor, no man could force shadows to truly obey for they live to mimic and take great pride in that.
He'd have CONRAD disrupt the power to cause small blackout that would lead to the building. Of course that would create some suspicion but at least Ignatius could spin it for the next part in his game.

"I'll let you have one more question, or are you ready to meet... face to....face."

[TheTimeSweeper]

-tFabikcalcer-

“What…? The MIB and the JLU? How did they…?”

tFab frowned and starting pacing up and down the hallway. Pacing always helped him to think a little better during situations like this, but this person was just making him more confused. How could these people have information about him?

“Geez, first that Bubbles imposter and now this guy… I really am in the fuckin’ Twilight Zone!”

The man’s response to his final question brought tFab back to reality.

“Wait, follow the shadows? How am I supposed to follow a shadow unless I’m actually following a person or something?”

tFab was starting to think that this guy was just some random asshole who had gotten his name and phone number off the Internet or something and made all that shit up about the past, present, and future just to have some fun at his expense. The man’s last statement and subsequent question though sent a slight chill down tFab’s spine, which greatly surprised the cat demon. He had a feeling that there was a lot more to this person than the guy was letting on.

“One more question, huh? How do I know that you’re not lying to me about this whole damn thing and that I’m not going to be walking into some kind of trap?”

[Yetisarge]

"Oh hell, its Gaz. So where the fuck is your brother Dib? Is he still trying to prove that I am an alien?" Zim asked becoming more confused by the minute as to the fast paced action going on.

[Nekoman]

Bunny backed out of her sister's mind. She had had enough of the topsy turvy, and she returned to her state behind Brick, oddly silent. Her bangs covered her face, she was trying to disguise the subtle tears. She couldn't help crying, she was frustrated, and had to choose between her family and the one she oly recently thought of as a friend, but the latter had won.

"Brick, please don't get into a fight.." Bunny mumbled, between sobs.

Brick turned about just in time to see a tear fall to the cement. His resolve intensified with it, and he wrapped an arm around her as he turned to face Bubbles again.

"I will not fight your sister, unless I'm positive it's for her own good. In a perverse way, the Powerpuffs are like my sisters, too. Bubbles, I want you to know that I am in pursuit of many people, and Him is at the top of the list. If you obscure me from my mission, you will be dealt with harshly."

He turned away from Bubbles again to console Bunny, who was now on her knees, bawling her eyes out.

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Without even paying Zim and Gaz any attention, Bubbles smirked at Brick. Who did this guy think he was? Idiot.

"Sisters? To YOU? Wow, just wow. I thought you and Blossom had a special thing going on? Hmm? That's how it was before at least."

She narrowed her eyes, scowling slightly.

"You can't touch HIM, he's doing a better job for the people than you have. Stay the fuck outta my way and you won't have to die, fool."

Though, HIM has been off his game lately. Can I really listen to him anymore...?

She shook her head violently at this, of COURSE she could trust HIM. Who had taken care of her the last two years? Made her better, stronger? HIM had shown her the true nature of humans, and it was an ugly ugly thing.

Still.....I can do this without HIM. I've got enough of his allies on MY side anyways. HIM being dealt with won't hurt me that badly, but I can't let them know that...They don't even know the plan anyways.

Bubbles sneered at Brick for a moment, sticking her tongue out at him rudely.

"Look at you! Confusing my sisters! You even made one of them CRY! Honestly Brick, you haven't changed at all. Still have to be in control, you even risk the lives of the innocent to prove your point! Well, you were right about me in that case, but what if you HADN'T been? What would your excuse have been then? 'Whoops! Guess I was wrong! Duuuuuurrrrr better hide the body!'"

She tsked her tongue at Brick, rolling her eyes slightly.

"Bunny, you honestly pick this goon over your sister? How many times have you even spoken to him? It hurts, right here, when you go picking some pretty /ugly/ face over your own sister."

She pointed to her heart and pouted slightly. She fiddled with the sketchbook again and eyed Bunny.

"Have you seen it? Have you looked into my mind sis? All the horror, terror in this world? All the selfishness? Do you even want to look? Do you want to hear what I hear everyday? I don't think you'd like that."

Picking the sketchbook up from the ground, she threw it to the sobbing Bunny.

"Shhh shhh don't cry Bunny, everything will be fine. Big sis is going to make everything better."

[Nekoman]

Bunny darted forward, slamming a foot onto the sketchbook and ripping the cover halfway off as she charged at her sister. She ran up, her face was so close to Bubbles' she could feel her breath, and she slapped her. Hard.

"I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU TRYING TO MANIPULATE ME! POOR BUNNY, BORN DEFECTIVE! OH, SHE'LL NEVER SEE THROUGH IT, SHE'S RETARDED!" Bunny slapped her again, the other way. "YOU CAN'T IMAGINE IT! FLOATING IN THE VOID FOR TWELVE YEARS, THEN SUDDENLY THRUST INTO A WORLD WHERE YOU'RE THRUST INTO A SITUATION COMPLETELY FOREIGN TO YOU! AND THEN HAVING ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE I KNEW BEFORE TRY TO DECEIVE ME, MAKE ME HER PLAYTHING!?"

Bunny slapped Bubbles again, though weaker. She was panting, the suddenly release of energy had winded her, and her palm was red from the places she had struck Bubbles.

"You aren't my sister, not anymore. Now leave."

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Bubbles blinked, staring at Bunny.

"Well shit sis, I didn't know you felt that way. Sooooooorry for trying to help you out there. Disowning your creator, or shame sis, for shame."

She didn't really want to be a bitch to Bunny, but hell. She was pissed now. If anyone but her sisters had done that, they'd have been dead. She felt a bit bad for her sister though, she just didn't get it. Poor poor Bunny.

"I never said you were retarded, you're assuming things. Slap me around all you want, I won't you right now. Let it all out, it'll feel good. Yes, Bubbles the punching bag. That's all I ever really was, why change now? Yes Bunny, let the negativity consume you. THAT will OBVIOUSLY make you happy. Attacking your own blood over some dumb shit guy. Be careful though, you and Blossom might have to duke it out over him."

She smirked, face still red from the beating.

"Know this though, I will ALWAYS be your family. You can't erase that, no matter how much you wish it. No matter how less painful it would be if you could cut off all ties with them. Family is forever, I'm sorry you can't grasp the concept Bunny."

Reaching her hand up, she grasped Bunny's in her own and kissed it softly.

"I love you sis, remember that forever. You'll always be my baby sister."

She released Bunny's hand, looking towards where Berserk and Blossom had run off to.

Perhaps I should see what's going on.....

[tomaszavenger]

Hmm... this is having an optimal effect on her... Berserk noticed.

Heck, we're opposites after all...

"Hmm... before you arrest me, you wouldn't mind a little date, just here in the cafe? Right? There'll be loads of pizza... lucious, juicy pizza!" Berserk said with a smile, rubbing Blossom's back.

Come on... come on... this will all be over when the aura's gone...

[Nekoman]

"Wrong!" Bunny recoiled from the kiss. "My name is Bunny Wakeman, not Utonium. I'm not your sister, and I never will be." She took a step backwards. "Brick, go after Blossom, I'll be here."

Brick acted shocked at the sudden shift in power, but he obeyed. "Be careful, okay?" Brick bolted off, leaving the familiar red trail in his wake.

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

I guess Brick will handle it. Maybe I can put off seeing Blossom.....

She turned to Bunny, a weird feeling crawling in her chest. She hadn't felt this in a long time.

"Oh really? Well then, I suppose BLOSSOM and BUTTERCUP UTONIUM aren't your sisters either then. You can't have them without me. Cause we're the....."

She stopped right there, unable to go on anymore.

"....well you get the point. Have fun with your life Bunny. I'll try my best to keep you out of this. I don't think you should have to suffer anything."

Blowing some hair at her face, she eyes Gaz and Zim. She rolled her eyes and stood up, staring at the sky.

"I wish you the best Bunny, I love you."

And sighed once and braced herself for flight.

[Nekoman]

Bunny stood and watched as Bubbles prepared to take off. It would be a simple matter to attack her, right then and there, and be done with it. BUt something held her back, she would have to let her sister go. At least she had succeeded in disbanding the meeting amongst the villains.

Brick rushed only to find his two favorite girls embracing each oter. HIs jaw dropped, but he kept his stance. He knew how Berserk worked, how she could manipulate the mind with the body.

"Blossom! Get away from her!"

[Iris]

Ignatius gave a long laugh, unlike his previous chuckle this had a slight edge to it.
"Do you question my honor? My sense justice? If I were to set a trap then I wouldn't have bothered making this call, I'd have poisoned your waters with a tasteless poison, perhaps have arranged for you beautiful car to explode as you ride to your next job. But I spend my valuable time, if you want proof that I am not lying. Then get ready to follow the shadows."

He gave a small tap on his cellphone, the signal for CONRAD to create the path.
In a matter of seconds whole blocks were without lights, hospitals and other emergency buildings were with electicity but their lights refused to work.
In effect, this created one shadow that lead to building 303... an extended shadow.

"I'll be expecting you."
With that he disconnected the phone and removed the sim card and battery.
Something about tFab's question about setting a trapped had irritated him, while he was decieving the man, he did not plan to lay a trap. He merely need a small spark that would ignite the others.

While he couldn't interfere directly with this world's afairs and events he could however misdirect their attention onto other matters which should not be occuring.
"Question my honor... that still burns me up when people do that."

[charli]

Berserk's scent was intoxicating. Blossom was ready to do anything for the girl when a voice cut through the haze.

Blossom! Get away from her!

A light flashed, but Blossom couldn't understand what had just happened, only that Berserk's arms were no longer around her. And then the spell was lifted, and Blossom saw the world clearly again. The pendent from Katz had activated, the field shoving Berserk away, and Blossom once again had control over her body.

This time when she lifted her hand, her crossbow glowed pink, a bolt charged and ready to fire. "No more tricks, Berserk," Blossom commanded. "The same trick won't work on me twice."

[TrickyLA]

[!@#$!@@#!@ I HAVE TO TYPE THIS AGAIN!!!! >0]

Bubbles

Bubbles sighed and took off. In a matter of moments, the familiar baby blue streak was trailing behind her and she was flying. She grinned slightly, happy to be up in the air again. Still, she couldn't help but think of Bunny and Blossom, still down there with Brick and Berserk. The flying was helpful though, and she could almost forget the tingling sensation in her heart. Shaking her head, she focused on the freeing feeling the wind in her face gave her. She felt complete in the air, and the wind helped to blow away all of the horrible feeling. She was free to focus on the clear skies, and the joy in her heart.

Yeah right.....

The feeling of being rejected hurt her more than she had would like to acknowledge, and she shook her head at the thought. Honestly, she had just gotten her sister back from death! And now she hated her...

Bunny....I wish you'd understand.....it doesn't matter. I'm not going to hurt her, I don't care what HIM says. I refuse to kill my sister again.......stupid Brick, being a prick and confusing my sister..s.

Bubbles drifted a bit, merely in the air now.

She doesn't realize that I love her so much......when she died.....I remember crying for months.....I couldn't stop....

She shook her head, disgusted by her own weakness. She wasn't that girl anymore, she was stronger than that. Blowing a few strands of wind blown hair out her face, she realized that she had left her sketchbook.

Aww shit......eh, oh well. Maybe some kid will pick it up and have nightmares hahaha.

She smirked at the thought, happy to finally be away from the Bunny subject. Her mind trailed off though, back to Berserk and Blossom.

Maybe I should go back and check on them.....

She was about to turn around, under the pretense of getting her sketchbook back, but decided against it. She didn't need to go back and risk another interview.

Why do I even care......stupid Blossom...I hope she doesn't hurt Berserk too badly....wait what! NO! I don't care about Berserk! Just because she called me her best friend doesn't mean I AM. Dammit....

She bit her lip and groaned, but refused to turn back. It was too late now anyways.

I have to keep moving, if I don't stop then I can hear them more clearly.

The 'them' she was referring to was, of course, the trees and nature. It was pitiful really, how she had always loved it so much.

Nature is a fucking whiny pussy. It should shut the fuck up for once.

She shrugged, filtering out the noise again, and blasted off again.

[TheTimeSweeper]

-tFabikcalcer-

tFab blinked as the man suddenly cut off the conversation.

“Well, damn, the guy hung up on me. Bah, I probably would have done the same thing to him if he hadn’t beaten me to it.”

He then shut his phone closed and stuffed it into his jeans pocket before rubbing the back of his head.

“My beautiful car…? Does he know about the Lamborghini? Nah, he was probably referring to my car in general, which coincidentally is beautiful. Wait, does that mean he’s been spying on me?”

tFab looked up and down the hallway, expecting there to be somebody watching him, but he found no one. Just an empty hallway. He also found it odd that no one had gone in or out of the elevator for the entire duration of his phone conversation.

“Hmm, maybe there are less people living in this building than I thought.”

He then turned to the elevator and pressed the down arrow button before glancing at his potted plant. It had become a safe haven for him, a perfect hiding spot, and tFab knew that it would remain in its usual place and provide shelter for him whenever he needed it. The woman down the hall acting like Bubbles had been nagging at the back of his mind for a while and he felt like he needed to know more about her, whether she liked it or not.

“Hmm, the guy on the phone said that I should get ready to follow the shadows… What the hell did he mean by that? Well, I guess there’s only one way to find out…”

The doors opened and tFab walked inside before waiting for the doors to close and the car to take him down to the lobby. After he exited the car, he left the apartment building and walked outside into the cool morning air. A light breeze wafted around his shoulders and tFab grinned with delight.

“Ahhh, I love nights like this…”

He closed his eyes in satisfaction before he shot them open with surprise.

“Wait a minute, NIGHT?! I went to sleep when it was last nighttime! Does this mean I slept for a whole day?! Holy shit… Oh, wait a minute...I'm wearing my sunglasses... I'm such a dumbass... ><”

He didn’t really have much time to reflect on his screwed-up sleeping pattern or the fact that he forgot that he was wearing his sunglasses as he noticed that the lights in and around the surrounding buildings were turned off, creating a sort of shadow that extended down the street. Or maybe it was just the shadows created where the sun touched the buildings; tFab didn't really know.

“Huh, I guess this is what that guy meant when he said to follow the shadows… Wait, he doesn’t know exactly how I will be arriving, so if he has any spies following me to make sure I show up, I can lose them as a cat.”

And with that, tFab assumed his cat form once again and set off down the street following the shadow towards Building 303 at Megaville Park-avenue.

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat breathed a sigh of relief, nobody had heard her.

But huh.....weird conversation. Shadows? Bah, I know I should follow him but......shouldn't I be happy that he's off my case for now?

She didn't really want to leave her room right now, afterall, she was still a bit depressed.

Stupid.....merr......

Slowly, she pulled herself back onto the bed and pulled her pillow to her knees. She sat there like that, just staring for awhile.

[tomaszavenger]

"Woah..." Berserk said as she noticed Blossom's pendant gleaming with power.

"Great... well I tried... but see ya!" she said, before immediately speeding out of the door. She spun a few times around, corkscrewing the window to destroy it, and flew away from the store.

"You won't catch me!" Berserk said, replacing her bowerangs mid flight.

[Nekoman]

Brick looked over at Blossom, then commenced pursuit. He might as well chase her, he had been complaining about wanting to punch something. Might as well be Berserk.

His arguments had fueled his power, propelling him behind her, and easily gaining speed. It wasn't an ability he was proud of, power from rage, but it came in handy sometimes. Still flying, he drew an arrow, excess energy flying off in bolts, striking buildings and people as he flew by them.

"Hold still!" He sadi, closing one eye, and releasing the arrow, aiming for her left leg.

[charli]

Blossom shot after Berserk, keeping pace with Brick. Berserk had gotten away last time, but not tonight. Pulling up several yards above Berserk, Blossom aimed her crossbow and shot two bolts at the other girl's back.

[Iris]

Ignatius could partially relax now, one of the chess pieces was on the move now and soon the rest would follow. It was almost time for the games to begin. Excitement ran through his spine after all he had been inactive for such a long time and now he could show the full extent of his... zeal?

He laughed, not even Ignatius completely knew why he liked what he did for a living.
Disruption and deception, all to save worlds that were not his own, distancing himself from most inhabitants until he looked like a monster and in secret....

"Ah well, who knows. But first up, I need to get this party started!"

[emily4twilight]

"How the hell shuld I know? I haven't seen the idiot in years!"
Gaz replied to Zim

she turned back just in time to see Bubbles's blue line fly away, and Brick going after Berserk.

Now what do I do?

[Kat]

Feb 23, 2009 19:45:49 GMT -5 Wolfy said:

"Woah, woah, woah. Don't leave yet.... We still have a whole night ahead of us." The other Arken said, smiling. Then, without waiting for an answer, he spun her to him and kissed her, backing her up against the wall by the door, positive that this would change her mind.

BC

Buttercup stumbled slightly out of Arken's appartment. Her hair was a mess and her clothes were discheveled. Bruce looked up at her with a glare from his seat at the door.

BC blushed and looked guiltily at her cat. "Yeah, yeah.. Took.. longer.. than I thought it would." He just glared a kitty glare. He knew what really happened.

Buttercup tried to shrug it off. She adjusted her clothes and pulled her hair back into a ponytail. I like the ponytail.. I might just keep this.. look.

She took a deep breath, walking down the hall to Brat's apartment. She had left Arken asleep, hoping to catch Brat and make some profuse apologies.

She knocked softly on the door to her would-be sister's room.

"Brat..? Brat, i- if you're there, I wanna talk to you..."
