The Girls Are All Grown Up

Ch. 26

''What?" She jerked back, glaring at him to hide her blush.

''You zoned out after gazing into my handsome face,'' Butch said, flipping his hair exaggeratedly. Or at least trying to, his hair was too short for it to work very well.

But he got her to laugh.

Right before she shoved him that is.

Sighing, she decided to give him at least one answer,''I don't know about Bubbs or Bloss, but I did use my powers a few times over the years...when it was necessary.''

Butch stared at her,''So you didn't completely walk away from everything?"

''I-'' she frowned,''Only when I had no other option!''

''Not what I'm hearing,'' Butch shrugged,''You did just beat me to a pulp with your powers- and there were other options instead of using lasers.''

She scowled,''So I didn't completely pretend like I had no powers-''

''Even though that was part of the deal you and your sisters had?" He interjected, watching her carefully.

She hesitated,''Not...exactly.''

Butch blinked at her reply, he'd expected her to snap at him or rip his head off for even asking.

She glanced around them, this wouldn't be the place to talk if she was going to tell him anything. She looked back at him, only to see him floating two feet above her.

He raised an eyebrow,''You coming?''

She just grinned at him.

It was like playing tag, except they were in the sky- in the clouds where they wouldn't be worried about someone seeing them. They stayed by each other, not letting the other out of their sight.

''So the disappearing act was Blossom's idea?" Butch felt the need to clarify.

''Yeah, but the deal wasn't that we'd never use our powers again- so I wasn't breaking any agreement.''

''What exactly was the deal?"

''That we would consider the PowerPuff Girls dead, we wouldn't contact each other- unless absolutely necessary- and we stayed away,'' Buttercup mumbled.

''Why in the world would you agree to that?" Butch demanded.

''If you want to find out the rest, you're going to have to work for it,'' Buttercup smirked at him.

''Like what?" Butch eyed her suspiciously.

''Oh, I don't know- maybe... give me a thousand dollars?" She winked at him.

''Are you kidding me?!''

''I need it to get a hotel for awhile, and I don't want anyone to know where I am- so give me the money to pay for it,'' she shrugged,''And every week I'll give you a few more details to help you put it all together.''

''And let me guess, each week you get more money?" He asked drily.

''Well, if you're offering...''

''Is see how you survived so long by yourself, manipulating innocent people,'' he mockingly shook his head at her.

Buttercup snorted,''You're a villain who runs the City of Townsville- you've got money to spare.''

He glared at her,''Fine.''

''Fine,'' she responded with a raised eyebrow.

''Good!'' he grit his teeth.

''GOOD!!'' she growled at him

''We have a deal then!'' he yelled.

''I guess we do!'' She shouted back at his face.
