You sat on the couch petting Courage as you watched some infomercial that played on the TV. Liz finished making herself a cup of coffee and joined you.

You looked over at the picture you had framed of your Grandparents and smiled. You hoped they were happy, wherever they were.

You heard a knock on the balcony door before it opened and Blossom poked her head in.

Blossom: Morning.

You smiled.

Y/N: Morning. Come on in.

You patted Courage and he jumped from your lap to Liz's. You stood up and grabbed your bag.

Y/N: I'm out.

Liz: Feel free to never come back.

Y/N: It would be a dream come true.

You both stuck your tounges out at each other while you and Blossom headed to the door. After a quick trip in the elevator, you found the other two Powerpuffs waiting for you outside the building.

Buttercup: Hey, you woke up in time.

Bubbles: Good morning, Y/N!

You smiled. Ever since that conversation at the Rowdyruff's hideout, things have been a lot better. Blossom and Buttercup were now talking to each other, Bubbles and you were able to focus on the play, and everyone was good.

Though, you had no idea where you stance on a romantic relationship was. Mostly because you wanted to avoid another fight.

Bubbles: Hey, are you ready for this Friday?

You smiled.

Y/N: Oh, I'm ready. Are you?

Bubbles: Always. We're going to be the stars of the show!

Y/N: Yeah, we are!

You held your hand up and Bubbles jumped up and high fived it.

The play was finally this Friday. Perfect timing to, since Halloween was next week. You still needed a costume.

Blossom: I can't wait to see you guys act. It'll be fun.

Buttercup: Pfft. I just can't wait to see how many people mess up.

Bubbles groaned.

Bubbles: Please don't put that energy on me. I'm already stressed out. Octi has never gotten so many hugs.

You laughed a bit. You still found it a bit cute that she still had a stuff animal from her childhood. Regardless, she loved that thing.

You had actually only seen it once. Then again, you've only been to the girls' house a few times.

Buttercup: I'm just excited for our "you know what".

You looked at her.

Y/N: Your what?

Blossom: Oh, that is coming up.

Y/N: What's coming up?

Bubbles smiled widely.

Bubbles: Our birthday!

Really? They were older than you? Well, technically speaking, you were older, but biologically they were older?

Blossom: You'll be invited, of course.

You smiled.

Y/N: I wouldn't miss it for the world. Though, do I get you all separate presents or....?

Buttercup/Bubbles: Yes!

Blossom: You don't have to worry about that.

You'll need to figure it out later.

But for now, you were going to enjoy the day.

!pU rewoP

Dutchess found herself staring at Townsville High in awe. When you showed up, the first thing you did was blow the school to bits.

She had managed to find some clothes to better blend in and she now looked like she was a student.

If she was going to find someone to match your power, she reasoned that she had to find this universe's you. Surely you were a good guy here, right?

Maybe she could even get the Powerpunks or whatever they were called to help as well.

Mitch: Hm? You good?

Dutchess snapped out of her trace and looked to her left. She suddenly found herself looking at a ghost.

Dutchess: Mitch?

Mitch just stood there. He slowly started to nod as Robin walked over to see what was going on.

Robin: Oh, Morning, Princess. Nice outfit.

Dutchess realized she was talking to her. She looked down at her clothes and forced a smile.

Dutchess: Oh, um, thank you.

She hasn't gotten a compliment on her clothes in years. Actually, this girl looked like her old bully from elementary school. What was her name again?

Mitch suddenly placed an arm around Robin with a smile.

Mitch: Well, we'll catch you later. Have a good one.

Dutchess: Uh, t-thank you. You have a good one as well.

Mitch looked at her oddly but walked off with Robin anyway. Dutchess noticed that Robin was wearing a varsity jacket with the name "Mitchell" on the back. Was it his?

She started to look around to see many familiar faces. It seemed that things really were mirrored here.

She decided to head inside to try and find you.

She hasn't seen a packed hallway in ages. It felt almost surreal to see this many people walking around without a care in the world.

So many young faces. So happy.

She wondered where you could be.
---------------
You yawned as you looked at the broken TV before you. You figured you should get a new one, but the only thing that it would show would be that Emergency Broadcast.

So boring.

You scratched your head before you heard footsteps enter your apartment.

Y/N: Whoever it is, you better have something interesting to say.

Berserk: Bees can sting other bees.

You looked to Berserk as she smirked to herself. You rolled your eyes and looked back at the blank TV.

Y/N: What?

Berserk walked over to you and plucked something out of your hair.

Berserk: I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to pay a visit to our lovely neighbors over in Vilescity.

Y/N: You know I hate those Rowdytuff Boys. They're so....happy.

Berserk: I know! But you can beat them up a bit. That could be fun, right?

Would it? It seemed like a waste of time. You could beat them in a fight faster than you could beat Brute. It was honestly embarrassing.

Still, it wasn't like you were doing anything else.

Y/N: Nah. I'll let you handle them this time. Though, tell Brute to come here. I want to play checkers against her again.

Berserk: You know she gets mad when she plays that game.

You chuckled.

Y/N: I know. That's the fun part.

Berserk pouted but she knew better than to refuse an order. She finally turned and walked out while you stared at the blank TV.

After a moment, you got up and decided to check on something.

You walked over to a door and opened it. You looked inside as you heard a growl. You looked through the darkness for a second before you looked down at the plate of food.

Like always, it was a mess.

Y/N: What did I say about eating properly, Coward?

The creature in the dark room growled. It's red eyes glowed in the darkness. You just sighed and closed the door.

Y/N: Stupid dog.
--------------
Dutchess made her way through the school. She would have to hide in the bathroom when the classes started, but during the passing period, she was on the lookout for you.

But it was now lunch. That gave her a bit more time.

Dutchess looked through the lunchroom, but she didn't find you anywhere.

She started to become a bit deterred, until someone bumped into her.

Y/N: Oh, sorry, Princess.

She jumped at your voice. However, she was utterly surpised to find you with a massive smile on your face.

She watched as you reached past her and grabbed an orange.

Y/N: I didn't know you were back yet. I thought you were out sick.

You started to peel the orange while she watched. Dutchess was at a complete loss for words. You were.....you were just so different.

Did you even have powers?

Y/N: Cat got your tounge?

You waved your hand in front of her face which snapped her out of whatever daze she was in. She blinked a few times before she grabbed your arm.

Dutchess: I need your help.

You eyed her oddly. You slowly took a bite of your orange before you nodded.

Y/N: Okay. What's up?

Dutchess looked around before she pulled you into the halls. She then found an empty clubroom and closed the door behind her.

Dutchess: Okay, this is going to sound weird. My name is Dutches Porbucks and it from another world. One parallel to this one where everything is....flipped.

You looked at her with a blank stare. You then sighed and pulled out your phone. You tapped a name and waited as the phone rang. Finally, someone answered.

Mitch: Yep?

Y/N: We got a problem.

Mitch: You know, I would appreciate it if you called just to say what's up or ask me how my relationship with Robin is going. Just one time.

Y/N: You coming or not?

Mitch sighed.

Mitch: Your place?

Y/N: Yep.

Mitch: I'll be there. Should I call the others?

Y/N: Nah. See you after school.

You hang up and turned back to Dutchess.

Y/N: Alright. So, what's the problem?

Dutchess clenched her hands as she looked directly at you.

Dutchess: The problem, is you.
--------------
Brute: SCREW THIS GAME!

Brute threw the checker board at the wall then proceeded to stomp on it to destroy it. You just chuckled dryly while Brat sat on the arm of your chair. She was braiding your hair with some colorful rubber bands she had found.

Suddenly, Berserk came crashing through your roof.

You all looked at her confused before you looked up.

Y/N: Who broke my roof?

???: It's us! The Rowdytuff Boys!

From the large hole in your roof came three boys who looked like the Rowdyruff Boys, but slightly different. They looked more well mannered and a lot nicer.

Brick's hair was shorter and his hat was facing forward, Butch was slightly skinnier but wore loose fitting clothes, and Boomer had his hair combed back and wore a blue blazer.

You stood up and cracked your knuckles.

Y/N: You three really never lesrn your lesson, do you?

Butch: No way! We're the Rowdytuff Boys and we will never give up in..AGK!

His speech was quickly cut short when you suddenly punched him right in the kisser. A few of his teeth fell out as he flew right through the roof, making another hole, leaving his two brothers alone.

You then turned to them with red eyes.

Y/N: Your turn.
-------------
Y/N: So, in your world, I'm a bored super villian?

Mitch: And I'm...dead?

Courage: <Sounds rough>

You all gathered in your apartment as Dutchess told you more about her world. It honestly sounded like a nightmare version of your world.

Although, from what she's told you, you debated if you actually needed help in dealing with these Powerpunks and this version of you.

Dutchess: I know it's asking a lot, but you're our only hope. Who better to stand against you than....you?

She did have a point.

You turned to Mitch.

Y/N: I think we might need that back up after all.

Mitch nodded. He pulled out his phone and started to send a message, but the balcony door suddenly opened and the Powerpuffs walked in.

Blossom: We shouldn't just walk in. This is a total breach of privacy.

Buttercup: What are you talking about? I do this all the time.

Bubbles: Sorry for the intrusion.

The three stopped when they found you sitting on the floor with Courage, Mitch, and Dutchess. However, what really caught their eyes was the fact that you were wearing your uniform, Mitch had a sword, Dutchess wore her battle gear, and Courage was holding a cup of tea.

Buttercup: Uh, are we interrupting something?

Dutchess: The Powerpunks. Perfect.

She suddenly stood up and you quickly jumped to your feet.

Y/N: Dutchess, wait!

Dutchess didn't wait. She just activated her watch. Suddenly, the entire room was engulfed in a bright white light.

When you could all see again, you were suddenly all standing in the middle of a ruined city. You looked around confused before you realized that the Powerpuffs were with you.

Blossom: What just happened?! Where are we?!

Buttercup: Y/N? What's going on?

This was bad. This was really bad.

And things were only going to get worse!

At that moment, something suddenly crashed into a nearby building. You all covered yourselves before you looked up. From the dust coming from the building was a single figure.

He flew out into clear view before he noticed all of you standing there. He slowly turned towards you as he hovered in place.

Y/N: Hm? Well, this is definitely new. What did you do this time, Dutchess?

The girls looked at this version of you before they turned to you. However, you were fixated on the evil version of you. He looked nearly identical.

Slowly, he began to smile.

Y/N: Finally. Something interesting!

He suddenly flew right towards you. The girls all moved to protect you, but they were too slow.

A cloud of dust suddenly flew up which covered the area. Mitch protected Courage while the girls all covered themselves. Dutchess coughed a bit and tried to look through the dust.

The sisters all looked with wide eyes, scared of what they would see when the dust cleared.

However, their eyes grew in shock rather than fear.

The dust settled and reveled the evil you with a look of surpise. He had never seen something like this before.

You stood there firmly with his fist in your hand. Your eyes were both brighter and narrow.

Y/N: Well, this is interesting.

Y/N: Yeah, it is.

You then swung and delivered a punch of your own. Your fist collided with Y/N's cheek which caused him to go flying down the street.

Dutchess: Quickly, while he's stunned.

Dutchess turned and started to lead everyone to a safe house. Mitch grabbed Courage and carried him along while the girls looked at you in shock.

Blossom: Y/N...

Y/N: I'll explain later. We got to go.

You suddenly flew up and grabbed both Mitch and Dutchess. Dutchess gave you directions and you followed them while the girls followed.

Looks like the cat's out of the bag.
