"BRICK, BUTCH, BOOMER! WHERE ARE YOU!" Boomer shudders hearing the name from the speaker. "COME OUT MY LITTLE BOYS AND DONT YOU DARE BRING THOSE NASTY GIRLS WITH YOU. I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME!" Another shout. "HIM again?" Buttercup mutters under her breath so Aria wouldn't hear but the rest would. All of them make eye contact. 

Should I send Aria away? Bubbles says with her eyes and looked just about ready to remedy the situation 

It will be really suspicious though her sister says silently beside her, thinking on what to do while nudging her head at Aria who surprisingly, looked more confused than terrified.

So what should we do? The blue rowdyruff says 

I mean could we just leave her here? She'll be safe? Butch says annoyed of having to stay put when they could have started fighting.

Brick speaks after seeming to be in hard thought like a minute ago "Okay here's what we do, Bubbles and Buttercup take Aria to the kitchen while Butch, Boomer and I get the supplies for....... These type of situations" And after one look from him, Bubbles hushes Aria into the kitchen

"Why do I have to stay!" Buttercup protests who just like her counterpart, was tired of staying put

"cuz to hard and hot to handle" Butch teases and now allowed too, immediately rushes off to fight with the knowledge that the green Powerpuff was glaring after him.

"Just stay, you know HIM only wants us, we can defeat him that way. You join in LATER as long as it's not suspicious." Brick scolds her and follows his brothers out on the battlefield.

Buttercup sighs knowing that it was usually like this and goes to the kitchen

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So I guess there's a villain outside?" I say to ease of the awkwardness

Yeah" Aria responds, still staring at the window, watching Butch, joined by Boomer to fight HIM. She doesn't look scared at all, especially for someone new in Townsville. Does she recognize the boys? No, she wouldn't have. No one has ever figured us out, not even the oldest people of Townsville.

"Have you experienced this before?" I ask with genuine curiosity.

"UHhh nooo, I just hear there pretty common in townsville" She says and I could hear the smile in her tone

"It doesn't always happen, you know, well I mean just until recently, HIM just decided to show up today" I reassure her. I mean she could very well be scared and just be hiding it.

"Thanks Bubs" she smiles but looks more like she's smirking. It surprises me how much she acts like Brick

A few awkward silent moments as Aria watches the battle.

"Ohh Who are they?" She asks but doesn't seem to ask out of curiosity

"You haven't seen the Rowdyruffs yet?" I ask her. She hasn't heard of us yet? Yeah, I probably shouldn't be cocky but we really are the only heroes in townsville. Then again, it's been awhile since there's been any big villains and their nasty schemes. I just hope Brick, Boomer and Butch aren't out of training. But have we really not fought in a while?

"Well, the blonde haired one with the dark blue costume is Boomer. He's known as the open-minded one of the group. Some would say he's the kindest of all his brothers. He's also quite handsome"

"You seem to uhh admire him very well." She teases me and I see her stare at Boomer

I blush and strongly deny it. She already knows I'm dating Boomer so it could be a big risk to our identities.

"Anyway, " I say, changing the topic, I point at the fast green blur punching the machine "That's Butch, black-haired one with the dark green suit. He's the strong one. Don't get me wrong, they're all equally strong but he's the one known to fight the hardest and he loves it. He also loves smack talk, you get what I mean?

She nods at me and stares at the new figure that just joined in, " And the red one?"

"That's Brick, the brains and the leader of the group. He is the oldest of his brothers and the strategist." I say nothing more, as that is really the only thing people know about Brick. He doesn't bother being the silent type anyway

"How about the Powerpuffs?" She asks now looking at me with an amused and questioning look on her face

"Ohh so you heard of them? Well, Buttercup is the green and strong on.. " I reply before being interrupted by my sister walking into the kitchen.

"Hey Bubs, we need to go" Buttercup bursts in and nods her head at Aria who looks back at the window, watching.

Do you have a plan? I ask her through the eye contact

Just make some sort of excuse? You're the expert at these things. She says urgently, for me to make something up quick.

She doesn't seem afraid of the fight. I point out

And how Is that important?? You're stalling.. She says tapping her foot impatiently. 

Just surprised about it . Didn't Brick tell you to stay put? I blink back

They need all the help they could get , they're getting their asses kicked right now. She looks outside and I follow her gaze.

What I find worries me. I first see Butch thrown across the window into a building. This shouldn't be a big deal as we dealt with this before but I see Butch's strength is obviously draining. Must be HIM's new machine, I think to myself but HIM's machine seems to be the same one from our previous battles. Could we be really out of training? All thoughts disappear as I watch Boomer being held at the throat by Morbucks new grabbing claw Wait........... Morbucks?

"Seems the wannabe back in town" Buttercup mutters silently

She's right though, we do need to get out there I say as I continue looking at the boys

"Hey Aria can you wait here?" I ask her and she finally faces us "Is something wrong?" She asks with an unreadable expression.

"It's just that we have certain protocols to do for situations like this" I tell her, looking at Buttercup at the kitchen door frame, nodding at me to follow her outside

"Yeah I guess I can" she says looking outside, watching Morbucks and HIM getting their hands on both Boomer and Butch while Brick gets back into the fight.

Just 2 minutes later, she sighs watching a green streak, a lighter green than the hero's counterpart but still strong, followed by a blue blur.

She looks around "In position?" She says to no one in particular

"Ready!" Voices are heard as she takes one last glance at the window.
