Chapter 10

“We have to find her!” Bubbles hollers”.

“We know. But we have no idea where she could have went. Or if she was kidnapped.” The Professor states.

“We know! But it’s still stressful and frustrating to know that she could be in danger and we can’t help her! Especially since it seems she always seems to be able to help us when we need it and she does it so smoothly. We don’t have to tell her or anything she just pops up and helps.” Blossom announces Buttercup’s protective behavior.

“Girls can you open a portal?” Ken asks.

“Huh?! Why!?” The girls respond shocked.

“Because I think we counted our biggest threat out too soon.” He replies.

“But we seriously harmed Brute. I don’t think they would make a move w/ her injured like that.” Blossom counters.

“But if they have more advanced technology then they could have had her healed already.” Ken brings to light.

“Then that means we have to be extra careful. Also no more talking. Let’s get to work now.” Bubbles says and the others nod.in agreement and they start to work.

*Buttercup’s POV*

‘Yes Ken! Good job catching on!’ I praise him mentally. So the punks decided to watch the girls for a bit to get a better opportunity to snatch them.

“Damn that brat!” Berserk yells cursing Ken and slamming her fist down on the desk.

“Don’t curse him!” I defend Ken.

“Why not?! He’s just a brat that’s getting in our way!” She turns and yells at me.

“Keep yelling at me and see how fast I put you back in your place.” I say in a low and calm voice. I didn’t glare. But I did keep my eyes cold and emotionless. I could feel my eyes bore into her soul. I could tell she felt it too. She slowly started to shrink back. Eventually she gave in.

“Fine. But we need to make sure to get them soon.” She says moving away from me facing the other punks.

“Did you just get intimidated by a girl weaker than you that’s chained up to the wall after a few seconds of looking in her eyes?!” Brat makes fun of Berserk.

“We’ll get Bubbles last.” Berserk states and Brat pipes up immediately and turns and glares at her.

“Can’t risk doing two separate abductions. Too high of a chance of getting caught.” Brat says firmly.

“Unless we decide to wait longer to take her.” Berserk shrugs. Brat clenches her fists then pounces on Berserk. Berserk reacted fast. They went at each other like they were trying to kill the other.

“What’s going on?!” Brute yells from the other room.

“Nothing! Don’t worry about it!” Brat and Berserk yells. They keep throwing punches. Brat comes at Berserk w/ a right hook a fake then an upper cut. Berserk blocked the right hook. The fake threw her off and the upper cut hit its mark dead on and w/ so much force I heard a bone crack.

“Nothing you say?” Brute says as she leans in the door way w/ her arms crossed.

“It’s not my fault she started it!” The other punks chorused.

“Enough! I don’t care who started it! But I’m gonna finish it! Now get back to work and stop goofing off! And why would you fight in front of Buttercup?!” Brute scolds.

“What’s wrong w/ fighting in front of her?” Brat asks.

“What about her analyzing how you fight so she can beat you and escape? How about her using what gets under your skin to make you fight each other so you’re distracted or to tired to stop her from leaving?” Brute lists off a few reasons.

“It’s not like she’s gonna get an opportunity.” Berserk argues.

“Just like how you’re not gonna get a brain.” I yell back. Brute and Brat start to laugh. 1 because it was funny and 2 because I took them so off guard they couldn’t help but laugh. Meanwhile Berserk was turning red from embarrassment and rage.

“You know what you green Bitch! Fight me using your fist if you think you’re strong enough PRINCESS~!” Berserk challenges me.

“What did you call me?” I ask my head down and my voice low.

“What? Bitch or Princess~!” She teases. I lung forwards and startled her. She came closer as she spoke this time to try and intimidate me. Me suddenly lunging took them all by surprise. They thought I got free but I made sure not to. Yet.

“Woah. I thought I was about to die.” Brat says.

“She lunged at me but you thought You were about to die?!” Berserk exclaims.

“Buttercup…? Are you ok?” Brute asks.

“What happened Brute?” Brat asks.

“I don’t know. She won’t let me see her wrists and she’s not talking.” Brute says. Her voice holds bits of panic.

“What?! Buttercup are you ok?” Brat asks concern lacing her voice. I stayed silent. The punks stared at me trying to figure me out. I moved back and sat down.

“Are you tired? If so I’ll finish up the room and then we’ll transport you.” Brute says enthusiasm entering her voice. I still don’t respond. She races off. She comes back like a half hour later. During that time Brat and eventually Berserk started trying to check my wrists and get me to talk.

“Ugh!” Berserk yells.

“What’s wrong?!” Brute asks rushing in.

“We can’t get her to talk!” Berserk whines.

“Well I’m done w/ the room now so lets move her.” Brute says. The others nod. They unhooked my chains from the wall. They must have been expecting me to move or at least stand up. When I didn’t though and showed no interest in doing so they tried to get me up by muscling me up.

“Come on Buttercup! Please work w/ us!” Brat begs.

“How was she so light when taking her but now she’s like a thousand pounds heavier!?” Brute complains. I got out of their holds and leaned back up against the wall. I then started to close my eyes and drift off.

“Seriously?! She rather sleep on the floor than in a bed?!” Berserk asks astonished.

“Come on Buttercup. This isn’t funny.” Brute says. Her voice sounded a bit hurt.

“So when she said she won’t be sleeping w/ you she meant it to the extreme.” Brat says.

“Buttercup I’ll give you your own bed if you go to the room. But if you try and stay here I’m gonna stay here too and sleep on you.” Brute threatens. I shot up and waited for them to show the way. They led me to a room in it had two beds. Both were queens. They both had a dark sky blue silk covers. One bed had black silk pillows and the other red. They led me to the one w/ the black pillows. The hooked up my chains so I could still move when I slept.

“Night you two!” Brat says.

“Ya night.” Berserk states.

“Night girls.” Brute says. They all turn to me to see if I would wish them a good night or not. I noticed and just nodded. I still wasn’t gonna talk to them. I heard them all collectively sigh. I don’t know whether it was a sigh of relief or a sigh of disappointment.

‘I need to inform the girls!’ I think to myself before letting sleep take me.
