“Mmmph!”

tFab couldn’t believe what was happening. She was kissing him. She was actually kissing him. He stared back at her, horrified that she called his bluff, and tried to squirm away from her. Sure, all those things he mentioned he had really done with girls he used to date, but this, this was something else. Never once in his life had a girl shown such hatred towards him and then kissed him. It was like she suddenly became a different person.

“What the fuck is going on?! This…this can’t be happening!”

For once, ever since he started hearing his sister and his more conniving, manipulative side in his head, tFab’s mind was silent. The only voice he could hear was his own terrified one.

“This…this is some kind of retribution... A way of getting back at me for all that shit I did to her! Goddammit, see what scorning a woman does to you, tFab?!”

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat's mind was reeling. How could she do this to herself!? Frantically, she fought for control of her own body, trying to ignore how badly she had missed this kind of contract with another person.

He's not a person! He's a CAT!!!!!!

The other Brat merely waved her off, smirking into the liplock.

But I was RIGHT see? He WAS bluffing. You should be THANKING me. And we can have some FUN now. I'll be he really COULD do all those things he said if he was PERSUADED.

Brat screeched in her mind, babbling about how the joke had gone far enough and she didn't CARE if he was bluffing because she didn't want to do this. She was cut off when the other Brat started to get more aggressive, nibbling on tFab's lip and allowing her hands to wander.

Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. Forcefully, she managed to push the other Brat out of her body before she could do any more damage. Her eyes widened, brimming with tears as she slowly began to back away. Her eyes lightened several shades of blue and an embarrassed flush covered her sickly pale cheeks. She opened her mouth to say something, anything, but all that came out was unintelligent babble.

"I....I..She...I...uh...um....nnnggg......"

She scrunched up her face, hating herself for letting this happen, and let the tears fall.

I'm so disgusting.....

[TheTimeSweeper]

-tFabikcalcer-

“OH, SWEET JESUS!” tFab yelled in his mind when he felt Brat nibble on his bottom lip and felt her hands wander around his head and body. “Holy shit! If I knew my actions would have lead to this, I would have stayed human and a good twenty feet away from her!”

“But you are enjoying this, aren’t you?” came a reply from his inner tFab that held a tone of satisfaction and contentment. “You haven’t kissed a girl in a long time, and she’s kinda hot too. This must be heaven for you right now.”

“HEAVEN?! Are you out of your fucking mind?! This…this…I don’t even know what this is!”

“No, but I am in your fucking mind and this is something that you’ve missed; the feel of a girl’s lips on your own and the sensation of her on top of you. Must be pretty thrilling, right?”

“You shut up! I don’t need this right now!”

The voice disappeared and then he felt Brat relinquish her weight on him. Staring back at her, he saw her slowly back away, but he didn’t dare move from his position. Her eyes were starting to tear up and her face was bright red. It wasn’t long before the tears fell to the hardwood floor and tFab continued to stare at her; wide-eyed, mouth agape. What had just happened was something that he would never have expected from her in a million years and lo and behold, it happened in a few minutes. The crying was something that he never particularly cared for from anyone, especially a girl, but after the unprecedented scenario that had just occurred, tFab was at a loss for words and actions. So, he just laid on the floor staring back at her, wide-eyed and unblinking, and panting slightly as he let Brat cry out her emotions.

“What the fuck just happened?!”

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat shivered, suddenly feeling very cold and very tired. After that exchange, she was completely wiped out, exhausted. The worst part of it was that she couldn't even cry it out in her room. People were in there right now, probably adding onto her problems as the spoke. He was staring at her, she knew it. Biting her lip, she lowered her gaze further and sobbed. She was doing so well, and now look at what had happened?

As much as she loved attention, right now she wanted to disappear forever. This whole situation was awkward, more so because she didn't even like tFab. He was just an annoying and man cat demon...right? She realized she was being unfair, she didn't really know him afterall. But she still couldn't afford to make exceptions. What had he done for her besides cause her pain and grief? She was sure he would have bolted by now.

And yet there he stayed, staring at her. The thought of him seeing her as such a mess made her want to cry even more. She felt so utterly defeated and tired. She couldn't control her inner demons, even from demons themselves. Even if she hated him, she knew the joke had gone too far. Sure, he had lied to her and he had teased her. But what she did was wrong, evil even. She felt so bad about it. Bad for him and bad for her. She raised her head up slightly to see if he was still staring at her. He was.

She knew he could see what a mess she was. Messy blonde hair sticking to her face. Ugly tearstained cheeks, runny nose. Her make up must've been all but ruined now. Her eyes were red rimmed and swollen and her big lips chapped. All in all, she was a mess. She shuddered, not wanting anyone to see her that way but unable to look away. He was just staring at her, mouth agape and eyes showing what she could only complrehend as disgust. Finally averting her gaze, she mumbles a broken apology, sniffling at the end of it.

"...m.....sorry...."

And she really was.

[TheTimeSweeper]

-tFabikcalcer-

tFab didn’t know what to think at that moment. Brat kept shooting him quick glances and he realized that his mouth was still open. He closed it abruptly and diverted his gaze to the floor. He didn’t want to look like he was openly judging her, which he was to some extent, but it didn’t feel right to him to just stare at her. She was still sobbing and she looked a mess, but tFab didn’t want to point it out. He couldn’t bring himself to do it. Both inner voices had remained silent and he was grateful for their absence. He really didn’t need commentary on the situation, especially from his inner tFab who would probably never stop talking about it. His inner Eca, on the other hand, would tell him to make amends for what he did to her in the past and recently as well.

“But I can’t… I mean, I can’t just apolo-- Not after that!”

But he could see the great despair and sadness in her light blue eyes when he looked back at her and he knew what he had to do. Just as he was opening his mouth to speak for the first time in the past few minutes, she said something to him that was barely a whisper, but his keen sense of hearing picked it up easily.

“...m.....sorry....”

tFab’s eyes widened and his whole body tensed. She apologized to him? After all that he did to her? The teasing and the lying and everything else? tFab was once again at a loss for words, but if she could apologize to him then he could definitely apologize to her. Taking a deep breath and relaxing, he finally had the courage to speak.

“I’m…sorry too, Brat. I…really shouldn’t have…teased you and…lied to you like that. It’s part of who I am, but that is no excuse for anyone…especially a girl. I don’t expect you to…forgive me…and if you still want me to leave, then I will...”

He then diverted his gaze once more and sighed.

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat looked up at tFab sharply, not believing her ears. Now HE was apologizing too? Since when had they gotten along well enough to carry on a conversation, if apologizing to people you never would have before could be called that, with each other? Shocked that he apologized to her after what she had done to him, Brat couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She had been so much crueler than him, at least the was she saw it and he was STILL going to apologize?

Frowning, Brat hastily tried to wipe her face to hide what was left of her tears. She couldn't cry all day, and with that in mind she attempted to compose herself. She couldn't fool around all day, she realized. She would be needed eventually, she just knew it.

Without making eye contact Brat wondered what she should do. She would feel bad either way. Telling him to stay or leave could either upset him or not faze him at. She wasn't sure what to do.

"I......thank you.....you.....don't have to apologize though.....my fault.....everything......your call....."

She could barely think clearly anymore, part of her wanting to scream and the other wanting laugh. She had no idea what to say anymore though. What she really needed was a dose of anti embarrassment and some sleep. She knew she wasn't getting enough sleep. She averted her gaze as well.

[TheTimeSweeper]

-tFabikcalcer-

tFab got himself into a sitting position and looked back at Brat.

“It’s my fault too and I should be apologizing as well,” he replied, his voice a little clearer. “I’m the one who started this whole mess and you were just acting accordingly. Scaring people by intimidation is what I do best, but I need to realize that it doesn’t work for everyone, nor should it work for everyone.”

He sighed and rubbed the back of his head.

“I really need to start being considerate of other people’s feelings, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. Listen, I’m sorry again for scaring you, teasing you, lying to you, and all that stuff. I’m trying to change too by being more considerate of my sister’s feelings. I’ve been such an ass to her in the past to the point where I nearly blocked her out of my life completely. I don’t want that at all, she is the only family I have left, and I’m working towards making amends with her.”

tFab had no idea why he was telling Brat this information, but it felt good to talk to someone who was not a faceless memory constantly speaking in riddles.

“You know, I think I’ll be getting on my way. I haven’t slept in a while and I’m worn out. And before you say anything, yes, I do have a place to stay. See you later, Brat, or maybe not.”

He then slowly got to his feet and walked past the blonde still sitting on the floor. A few meters from rounding the corner of the hallway, tFab stopped and turned around. Even from this distance, he could see that Brat looked exhausted and in desperate need of some sleep of her own. After pausing for a few seconds, he walked back to her and offered her his hand so that she could get to her feet.

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat nodded, understanding what he meant. She wondered why he was telling her all this, but she didn't question it. She had a similar goal, she wanted to turn her life around to. She whimpered, once again reminded of how she had just royally screwed up. He was walking away now and she didn't bother to say anything. She knew he was just trying to get the fuck away from her as fast as he could, she understood that feeling too. Sighing, she pulled her knees to her chest and stared blankly through the halls.

A few minutes later, she saw tFab walking back. She wondered why he was coming back so soon after just escaping her when he held a hand out to her. Her first and immediate reaction was to flinch at the hand. Almost nobody in her history, even her father, had ever held a hand out for her. Her experiences with hands were either sexual or violent. Villains were never offered help from the ground, and she and her sisters were more like tools to their father than daughters. Being the leader, everytime the team failed to stop Jomo Momo she took the punishment.

She shuddered.

Her second reaction was shock. WHY wasn't he hitting her? WHY was he trying to help her? Was this a trick? She stared up at him with wide eyes, contemplating what she should do. He said he was sorry, and her new style of life meant to forgive and forget. Still.....

He's a cat.

Not taking his hand just yet, Brat stared blankly ahead.

"You know, I didn't always hate cats...."

She didn't know why she was about to tell him something she never told anyone else. Maybe it was to pay him back for sharing something personal about him. Either way, she had already started, so she knew she would have to finish.

"My sisters and I were once villains of a town called Villetown, parallel to Townsville as we've now found out. Or at least I've realized it, I don't know about my sisters. We were the dastardly Powerpunk Girls and I was their leader."

She frowned once, then continued.

"And no, Bubbles is not the leader of the Puffs. One day, we were out destroying the city, causing mayhem and the like........"

She paused, remembering all the bad she had done was starting to upset her, but she moved on.

"When Brute....poor, naiive little Brute......found a kitty. We were only five..."

Brat sighed, remembering her two sisters. Berserk was a bit of a fool, while Brute was really nice deep down. She only put on a tough show for her enemies. She didn't know how Brute was now, and she didn't want to find out.

"She was a cute kitty....we all took a liking to her right away.....so we brought her home with us.....You know, its a lot harder fighting through Death Rays and booby traps carrying a kitty. Anyway....we made it through mostly unscathed and showed the kitty to the Oppressor. He was not pleased to see a cute, fluffy animal in his lair....."

Brat shook her head once, holding herself closer.

"But Brute convinced him to let Kitty stay when she said that all evil villains needed a cat to pet evilly...or something. I think he backhanded her for questioning him too, but he let Kitty stay anyway......we were so happy that Kitty was staying. We were going to teach her how to be evil, maybe have our own evil pet.....it wouldn't work that way. Oppressor told us that he would be taking Kitty in for experimentation that night. My sisters and I knew she would be dead by morning...."

Brat sighed, a fresh batch of hatred welling up in her for the Oppressor.

"I've never particularly liked girly things......cuddly and cute was more Brute's territory...whether she would admit it or not. But I still felt bad for that cat. She didn't deserve to be dissected or vaporized.....or so I thought. The next morning, after avoiding more booby traps, we made it in for breakfast. Breakfast was never very appetizing, we only ate it to amuse the Oppressor. He liked to concoct disgusting things and see what effect it would have on our unique bodies...."

Pausing a beat, she remembered the one time that Berserk had gotten so sick that she had lost all her powers. The Oppressor had nearly killed her for being so useless, but she and Brute had had her back. They always acted like they hated each other, but they knew it wasn't true. They were all each other had in the world, and now Brat had broken that bond by trying to change her ways. To say she felt bad about it everyday would be an understatement, but she wouldn't let that deter her from her mission.

"Imagine our surprise when.....we saw the Oppressor SMILING at us. He never, EVER smiles. And......he had a buffet laid out fit for a king. 'Dig in' he said. My sisters and I were shocked over his odd behavior, but then we noticed that Kitty was alright. We were so happy that we just played and ate with her the whole morning. The Oppressor didn't try to kill us once. Eventually, being the leader, I felt it my duty to find out our next move in the crime department. The Oppressor merely smiled at me and said that we were quitting evil. Quitting evil? The Oppressor? I was shocked, but even more shocked to find him hugging me. He told me he loved me for the first time...."

She trailed off, a mix of despair and hatred welled up inside her.

"I was confused though, the whole house had changed over night. It was all rainbows and goodness. Goody Goody things not meant to be in the the lair of the evilest villains in town. I was concerned, so I went to my sisters for help. But I didn't find my sisters, instead I found Kitty. She mewled at me and I scratched her head a few times before she padded off. I know where she was going now, but I didn't back then. I just let her go.....I found my sisters soon after that. They...weren't the same. Giggling...and doing each others hair. Berserk looked clean and well groomed for once in her life. Brute looked like an innocent little girl. I didn't understand what was happening."

Brat sighed, shaking her head.

"They told me they were good now. The Oppressor was right and that we should save the town instead. At the time, I had been a villain, so I was repulsed to see my sisters acting this way. Even as I am now, I would have been repulsed.....soon, they were all very close, Kitty was with them all the time. I didn't find out until much later who was the cause of all this....brainwashing. It was Kitty. That...evil......manipulative...FELINE was changing MY family. I was trying to be good for them, and it was actually nice. Even then I was starting to like it. But my family was over the top and embarrassing. They started to use their new hero status to embezzle money from the places they had saved. They accepted offerings from the poor and always, ALWAYS took hits for Kitty. I was sick of it. My family weren't Heros, they were puppets in costume. All to make....THAT CAT rich through a legal means. All the profits, the praise , went to Kitty. And she would sneer at me, knowing I was the only one in town who knew the truth about her....."

Brat shook her head angrily, gritting her teeth in frustration.

"She told me I would never get them back, never win......But I did it eventually....I wouldn't let her get away with changing my family against their will. It was a...hard battle...and nearly the whole town was against me. I even had to fight my sisters and the Oppressor....But somehow I made it with the help of the true heros of town. Of course, it was a temporary alliance...but enough to put that cat in her place....I have no idea where she is now...and I don't care. All I know is that I let that cat into my heart and she turned on me, taking all I ever cared about with her. I have hated cats ever since......they're not to be trusted."

Sighing, Brat stared at tFab in mixed contemplation.

"You're confusing me...."

She reached up and grabbed his hand, pulling up to her feet. She looked down, avoiding his gaze.

"Thank you...."

Then she pushed him away, glaring.

"....but I still hate cats...and I still hate you. Get going."

She smirked weakly.

"You look like shit....get some sleep."

[TheTimeSweeper]

-tFabikcalcer-

tFab listened closely to Brat as she told her story about her sisters and how her hatred of cats started. Another thing that he was proud of was his good listening skills, but those were only recently acquired.

“They sure would have come in handy when Eca was around…”

After Brat finished her story, she took his hand and pulled herself to her feet. She thanked him and then shoved him away, glaring. He didn’t seem too fazed by it; he kinda had expected it, and the next statement out of her mouth didn’t faze him either.

“....but I still hate cats...and I still hate you. Get going.”

That was understandable. After what she had just told him about her experience with that evil feline in her town, he couldn’t blame her for hating him. He now knew the truth about her hatred and would take it to heart. Her next comment actually made him smile.

"You look like shit....get some sleep."

tFab looked down at himself and grinned sheepishly. He did look like a mess. His clothes were all disheveled and his hair was probably all over the place too, more spiky than usual.

“I should say the same thing about you too,” he grinned. “We’re both really beat and what just happened was, well, quite an experience to say the least.”

He rubbed the back of his head again and glanced at the floor for a moment. He then looked up and stared into her eyes for a few seconds.

“They are beautiful… Bright blue like Eca’s, but there is something different about them…”

Not wanting to make the situation any more uncomfortable, he tore his gaze away from her eyes and faced the way he was walking towards before.

“Later, Brat.”

Before he averted his gaze, for some strange reason he felt compelled to remove some stray locks of hair from in front of her eyes, but he held himself back. He might have gotten smacked for that and that would have only caused even more tension between them. Before she could say anything to him, tFab walked back down the hallway and turned the corner without looking back.

“That was so weird back there,” he muttered to himself. “Why did I feel compelled to touch her face, remove those strands of hair from her eyes? Do I actually…like her? No, no, she jumped me and then forcibly kissed me! And yet…she is, dare I say it, what I would look for in a girl? Strong, forceful, sexy, hot… Did I just say ‘hot’? Man, I really need some sleep…”

By this time, tFab had reached his potted plant by the elevator and he stared down at it, thinking. It had been his temporary home for a while and he knew that he should just grab his case and leave for his hotel room that he paid for a few days ago when he first arrived in the city. He vaguely wondered what would happen to his Lamborghini if he was absent from the hotel for an extended period of time and he figured that he could easily steal another one if he desperately needed a set of wheels. After glancing back and forth from the plant to the elevator for a few minutes, he finally decided to stay at the apartment building, at least for the time being. He was way too tired to make the trip back to his hotel and he kinda wanted to keep his eyes and ears on Brat in case she needed help with anything.

“Like she would really accept it or even need it anyway, but you never know…”

After making sure that she wasn’t around so that he didn’t freak her out again with his transformation or anything, he changed into his cat form, jumped into the plant, and curled himself into a ball before going to sleep.

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat grinned at the comment, she really DID look like shit. He was right though, that was quite an experience.

Good or bad, who knows...I think I can respect him a bit more now though, even if he is a no good dirty cat.....

Then he was staring into her eyes, she froze. Something about looking into another person's eyes could trap you, and Brat was no exception. She felt like eyes were doorways to the soul, and he was looking into hers right now.

He wouldn't like what he'd find though, she decided.

Luckily, he moved his gaze away from her before it could get more awkward and turned around. Brat felt a light blush creep up her cheeks but ignored it and lowered her head, anyone would get embarrassed if some guy kept staring them right in the eyes right?

"Later, Brat."

She had said it once, and she would say it again. She absolutely hated her name. While it was a good name for a villain, it would do her no good as a hero.

And when in a relationship, who wants to be called Brat all the time? Thats almost as bad as being called Bitch......

Still, it was interesting how tFab said her name. She couldn't place what was so different about it, and she didn't try.

Probably some kind of cat voo doo....

By the time she looked up, he was long gone.

"Bye then...tFabikcalcer"

She yawned then, sinking back to the floor.

Maybe I little nap wouldn't hurt....I'll dream of what Bubbles and Berserk and Buttercup are doing....wake up when they need me....

She leaned back against the wall, and promptly fell asleep.

*A post for the heck of posting and keeping up with the time movement thing... >_>*

Sometime in the afternoon after school.

Samurai Jack


The day was done yet again. Jack exited the building to the stables where his trustworthy stallion awaited him.

**This stallion embued with the souls of hundreds of Japanese warriors, mythical in nature, was the fastest animal on the ground, able to leap buildings in a single bound *cough* all that stuff.

Jack stroked the long neck, patted the horse's silky hide and climbed on.

"Come", Jack said to the horse and off they road back to Jack's apartment.

Bubbles

Bubbles sighed, nodding curtly.

"Right....so why the hell are you here anyways? Felt like sneaking around with the neighbor girl?"

Buttercup

Buttercup slid down the doorframe to slump on the floor, still glaring up at her sister, as if to show that she slid that way on purpose.

"Not sneaking at all, you're the one here when the door is... who knows where... So," she smiled fakely, "when'd you get back? How was your flight? How's the devil doing nowadays?"

Buttercup groaned internally, her head was aching and her strength was ebbing away from her. She leaned her head back, trying to look casual, or bored even, and closed her eyes.

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Bubbles smiled pleasantly, no need to alert Berserk to what they were really talking about.

"Pleasant really. He's soooooo sweet sometimes. Still, I missed you all SO much that I just COULDN'T KEEP AWAY!"

Bubbles laughed, hoping she sounded fake. She knew damn well she couldn't fool her sister, still, something seemed off about her.

I wonder what's wrong....not that I care right now. She had her chance to join....

Frowning, Bubbles huffed and narrowed her eyes at Buttercup.

"The hell is up with you sis?"

[Iris]

By the grace of the God-emperor, may he watch over my soul in the darkness that is to come...

The words echoed through out the empty and abandoned chapel outside of Megaville, it's lone occupant knelt by the altar praying to his God.
Ignatius had spent the last few days preparing for his confrontation with his true enemy, with his duty to his 'so called past-self' now over he could now continue his hunt. Now without any of his disguises the light shone on a man in his mid 20's, he had short brown hair but the light could not reveal his eyes for in prayer they were closed. Now in the uniform he wore when he first stumbled into this universe; an earthly green flak jacket protected his chest, his left shoulder pad held his unit number, 419th, while the right was a symbol of his belief, the aquila that represented his saviour. On the same shoulder pad three purity seals revealed his heroics, they swayed with the soft wind that seep ed through the cracked and shattered windows.

May he guide my hand through the path I must now under-take
Two candles flickered on either side of the altar, as a darker presence tried to interfere with ritual. "You cannot enter consecrated grounds daemon. Not unless I allow it." Ignatius whispered without opening his eyes or moving from where he knelt.

"You cannot hide from me forever plaything, you followed me to this world and now I have had my fun, I've found more playthings and soon I will have my fun with them." Came a strained taunt from the winds itself. A chaotic red-pink mist began to flow into the chapel, "Soon you will be nothing more than a trophy in the hands of my master... And will revel in your dying screams, for all eternity."

"Begone foul-spawn of chaos." Ignatius calmly commanded, the mist was suddenly pushed out from chapel and the whispers stopped.
He took a deep breath and contined his battle ritual, he seemed unfazed by the visitation of the creature or perhaps another more resuring presence watched over him?

May he judge my soul worthy of the rites I must now commite upon this world and may his voice keep watch as my soul passes from this world into his arms.

Ignatius knew soon the battle would begin, he wasn't sure if he'd find allies in this fight but he knew that he'd fight countless nightmares.
His eyes snapped open, a set of determined brown eyes looked defiantly towards the city of Megaville, beyond the tinted windows and beyond the souls that were within the city hide his enemy, it cowered behind falsities much like his alternitive.
"By bolt or flame, Sword or faith I come to expunge you daemon, in the name of the God-emperor I come!"

[Nekoman]

"ZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZ---" Brick awoke, jumping up from the wall he had been leaning on. He looked around a bit, nothing was happening, and the others didn't lok particularly tense. He rubbed away thye red mark his hand had made on his cheek (form sleeping on it). He then proceeded to straighten out his hair while looking around for a clock.

Spotting one, he frowned inwardly.

It's been a few hours, and nothing's happened. Bunny hasn't even called in... I can't help but get the feeling we're wasting our time here. But I'm not gonna say it out loud. This whole trip was my idea in the first place..

Brick went over to the glass doors, and scanned the skies looking for some form of a threat.

Nothing.

"The hell is up with you sis?"

Buttercup

Buttercup groaned slightly, clutching her head in pain.

"Nothing.. I'm. fine." she gritted through her teeth.

What the hell is going on with me? How is this going to effect the baby anyway?

The baby...

Do I even want this kid? I mean, I'm really young... And Arken..

Buttercup struggled to get up.

"Screw this," she muttered, "I'm going back to my room, I'll see Brat later."

As she walked out into the hallway, she saw Brat sleeping against the wall and shook her head at the girl.

She was stepping carefully over Brat's legs when a wave of weakness washed over her whole body. Buttercup tripped and started to fall flat on her stomach. Her eyes widened in horror as she realised what the fall would do to her child and she grabbed for as much strength as she could to twist herself around to fall on her back instead.

(That should wake up a few people, eh?)

[TrickyLA]

Bubbles

Bubbles frowned, rolling her eyes.

"...see ya then..."

Clenching her teeth, she turned to stare at Berserk. Sighing, she advised her to be patient while she waited for news from HIM. She was feeling a bit peeved at her sister, when she heard a crash echoing through the halls.

What the....

Brat

Brat was dreaming the events unfolding through the room while she slept. A loose connection still active with Bubbles as she rested. She saw Buttercup storming out, but decided to do nothing until Bubbles asked. She was just about to wake up when she was rudely awakened by the girl she had just been watching tripping over her.

She jolted awake, her nose absorbing many scents from Buttercup. Her eyes widened then narrowed.

"My goodness......."

Not too much done to the punk or the puff, luckily Buttercup had landed right on top of Brat. She was now hyper alert, jut in case a certain demonic pain in the ass started snooping around.

[TheTimeSweeper]

-tFabikcalcer-

A loud crash suddenly echoed throughout the hallway, but tFab did not awaken. The cat demon’s ears twitched in his sleep picking up the sound and he simply rolled over on the slightly damp soil while covering his eyes with a paw.

“Why… Yes… I will have the seafood bucket…with extra trout and some catnip on the side… And what would you like to order…Brat?”

tFab rolled over in his sleep again and nearly fell out of his plant. Thank God Brat wasn’t around to hear him talking about her in his sleep, or dreaming about her for that matter.

[Wolfy]

Arken

Arken perked up at the sound. Sounded like somebody falling. Perhaps this was the sort of something he was looking for. He got out of his chair and decided to check it out. When he entered the hallway, he saw Buttercup lying on her back. His eyes widened a bit, then he rushed over to her.

"Buttercup, are you alright?" he asked worriedly, kneeling beside her.

[TrickyLA]

Brat

Brat growled inwardly, glaring daggers at Arken. She was still so pissed at him, but this was the last straw. He had ruined her 'friend', he had to hear it.

"...you."

She scowled lightly, her old expressions quickly becoming comfortable on her face.

"....what have you done....."

Glaring down at the two, Brat shoved Buttercup off of her. She did it was a certain carefulness, making sure that she didn't really injure Buttercup or her....problem.

Standing abruptly, she decided not to alert Bubbles of her new knowledge. Well, at least not for the moment.

"...you two have fun fucking around together. I can smell it all over you two, and other things."

She gave Buttercup an icy stare before finally turning down the halls. It was she could do to keep her emotions in that long. She wanted to cry, from both sadness and happiness. And....from something else she couldn't place, but somehow she knew it would all be alright. Letting out a small sob, she let a few tears fall before passing the elevators in the direction of her room.

Buttercup.....is pregnant.....with twins...

Blossom walked into the lobby, towel drying her hair still damp from the shower she had just taken in the locker room. Max had called ahead, thank God, and the fine men and women at the FBI Omaha office had readied a change of clothes for Blossom who was still covered with mud and blood. Now she wore a clean pair of jeans and a gray hoodie, FBI embroidered across the chest in pink. Her ribbon was wrapped around her wrist.

"It's quiet," she said softly. "Or maybe I've just gone deaf from Bubble's scream." Brick was all the way across the room, but Blossom knew he could hear her just fine. X-ites were funny that way.

And speaking of X-ites, a curious feeling had settled in Blossom's gut. "What do you... What do you think's going to happen to Berserk...? I still feel weird about this whole thing..."

[Nekoman]

"I've been thinking about it, Bloss. If we do succeed in stopping htme, we'll lose an enemy, but Berserk will lose her purpose. I really don't like having guilt placed on me, you know, and I don't know what I'd do if I saw her stuck in a cardboard box on some street corner.." Brick replied, his eyes still scanning the clouds, but half closed in boredrom.

"Though coming here was my idea, I'm actually hoping for them to find an altrnative way to help her.." Brick turned to Blossom, his eyes hopeful, "And who knows? She could wind up like her sister, reverting and such.."

Bunny-
Bunny sat in the long grass and let out a loud sigh. Hours had passed since the gang left, and nothing had happened so far. There wasn't even any minor crime going on to keep her occupied, least of all anything involving an X-ite.

She laid down, and rolled up her sleeves, putting her hands behind her head. Only a few minutes passed before she had to pull the sleeves back down, though. The fresh air was making goosebumps on her arms and hands.

Zim finally emerged from the basement, smelling an awful lot like gun fire and powder. "I take the fact that there is no alarm blasting in my ear and this place isn't in full panic that they haven't come to attack us yet eh?" Zim said when he found Blossom and Brick after a few moments of looking for them.

Gaz

Gaz sat near the purple girl who seemed just as bored as Gaz her self.

How long does it take for someone to come and pick up their......own......sister...

Gaz's anger was starting to rise but maneged to keep her cool as she went thrue her bag searching for something at the same time speaking to Bunny.

"Hey...uh Bunny right? does your friends have a cell phone or any kind of tech we can communicate with?"

[charli]

At the mention of Berserk possibly turning good, hope fluttered in Blossom's chest, and a small smile tugged at her lips. That was when Zim walked in. "No," Blossom sighed. "Nothing yet, good or bad."

Blossom had never really liked waiting, and now she was beginning to fidget. They had left Megaville hours ago. Usually, whenever she and her sisters went AWOL, something Earth shaking happened. Of course, they had all been off the charts for two years now. The world hadn't ended. Yet.

"Maybe someone should fly back to the city?" Blossom suggested. "Just to do some recon."

[Yetisarge]

"Or I could see if I could get into contact with Gir." Zim said not wanting to have anyone leave in case they did attack when they sent one member of the team out.

"He is after all a super high tech alien robot... sort of."

~Gir

Meanwhile back at the city.

Gir was sitting down at the house watching a television show. "I like this show!"

Ignatius moved cautiously out from his sanctity, though he had stood his ground when the daemon had tried to deter him he was never the less rattled by its presence, he could smell where it had tried to manifest itself within the consecrated grounds of the long forsaken church.

"No more lies daemon, no longer shall I play on your terms" He whispered to himself as he walked outside, the air heavy with warp-creature's attempted entry, a bitter taste of unnatural flesh and subsequent decay hung around Ignatius, "Lies and deceit have always blinded my path, YOUR lies... Nevermore..."

His rumblings steadied his courage and protected his mind from doubt, he could not afford to fall now. Not before he took the warp-thing with him. On that he promised.

Once outside the gates Ignatius pulled out a familiar object; a cellphone and called the only 'man' he could consider his ally. He chuckled with the memory attached to how he came across tFab's number.

"You only have to squeeze so much and the weak will talk...." He smiled as he entered the demon's number and waited.
"Let's see if the demon is still up for some fun."

tFab rolled over again in his plant when he felt an uncomfortable vibrating coming from somewhere near him. He passed it off as a muscle twitch and tried to get more comfortable, but the vibrating wouldn’t stop. It became so annoyingly painful that he ended up bouncing right out of the plant and hitting the floor with a thud.

“Owww…”

tFab rubbed his head and quickly realized that the vibrating was coming from within him. He changed back to his human form, took out his cell phone from his jeans pocket, and flipped it open.

“…Hello?”

[Iris]

"No more lies and games...." Ignatius started, "It's time for the truth and revenge. We've be deceived by a daemon* Mr. tFabikcaler, so we need to talk face-to-face."

He gave a small smile, knowing that he had likely confused the 'man' before he continued he quickly checked once more if he was still close enough to the city, "I'm just at the city limits, so you decide where we'll meet... if you're still game."

*You should hear the difference between his pronunciation of the word.

Sorry for the short post, needed to get back into the RP.

-tFabikcalcer-

(I’m glad that you did. )

“Oh, it’s you, Ignatius.”

tFab recognized the voice instantly even though he was still a bit groggy from sleep. Ignatius wasted no time in telling tFab exactly why he had called. Something about truth, revenge, and being deceived by a daemon. What the hell was the guy talking about? tFab really didn’t want to get wrapped up in any more of Ignatius’ schemes, but that old man in the park said that he needed to help more than just those two superpowered girls. Ignatius needed help in saving himself and tFab was really the only one who could handle whatever the man said to him, lies and games or not. Besides, after that too-close-for-comfort encounter with Brat in the hallway recently, a little fresh air would do him some good.

“Alright, I’m in. You said that you’re at the city limits? How about we meet in Megaville Park? There shouldn’t be many people there at this time of day anyway.”
