❝ I need action, I need adventure!
𝙄 𝙉𝙀𝙀𝘿 ‘𝙏𝘼 𝙋𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙃 — ! ❞

An independent portrayal of Buttercup Utonium from The Powerpuff Girls. Penned by ᴅᴇᴇᴛᴢɪᴇ.
❝ A titan? Yeah, I've fought some'a those. They didn't much like bein' thrown into the sun. ❞

❝ Hey, I'm sure you'll see 'em again. Family has a way of just coming back to ya in unexpected ways. ❞

Maybe you accidentally meet up with some estranged sibling from far away, or maybe your professor's old lab monkey becomes your worst nemesis. Either way, she wasn't totally wrong from experience.

❝ Pretty talented group of badgermoles then. Y'know what they say. Family's where the heart is, or... somethin'. ❞

Probably got that wrong, but...

Whatever.

❝ Am I... gonna be able to exchange that for American dollars in any way? ❞

A dubious look crossed the young heroine's face. She just wanted to make sure she wasn't getting scammed or anything like that.

Not that she thought she couldn't do it, but still, it was for the principle.
August 22, 2025 at 9:37 PM
❝ Honestly, that's kinda... cool. ❞

Buttercup admitted. Hell of a workaround, but if she wasn't flying around, then it seemed to get the job done.

❝ You really trained yourself to be able to do all that? ❞
August 22, 2025 at 11:05 AM
❝ The sun trip, yeah. But I think I could handle no sleep anyway. I literally fought The Sandman. Nobody's gonna tell /me/ when to sleep. ❞

Also ignoring the fact that the fight in itself made her tired, but, that was an entire decade or so ago. Her stamina must've increased by then, right?

❝ Seismic... ❞

Buttercup heard that word before. She associated it when Blossom was trying to explain some sciencey stuff about an earthquake monster. But putting two-and-two together, she started to gradually understand.

❝ So the way ya see me, it's through vibrations on the ground? ❞
August 22, 2025 at 11:00 AM
❝ Pfft. Please, I'm a Powerpuff Girl. I don't get tired. I bet I could stay up a full twenty-four hours and have enough energy to fly to the sun. ❞

The spice of the group would boldly proclaim, sticking out her chest and lifting her head into the air. She hasn't exactly... tested that though.
August 22, 2025 at 10:52 AM
❝ Sense? Like... ❞

Buttercup tilted her head in confusion. She remembered something about sensing the minerals and whatnot, but...

That wouldn't exactly explain how she couldn't perceive her when she was right in front of her. That is, unless...

❝ Y'mean, ya can't see me normally? ❞
August 22, 2025 at 10:50 AM
❝ I ain't a baby anymore. I can stay up as long as I want. ❞

Buttercup spat back, arms folding close to her chest in a huff. The freedoms of growing older meant that the limits of bedtime were being broken gradually.

The future is now, and she's exercising these new rights however she pleases!
August 22, 2025 at 10:46 AM
❝ Nope. I can just... ❞

The heroine planted her feet on the ground once more, gesturing towards her previously floating body.

❝ Fly when I wanna. ❞
August 22, 2025 at 10:45 AM
❝ Uhh, right here. Did I... accidentally turn on invisibility again? ❞

Buttercup lightly patted her body, stretching out her arms to let herself get a good look at her skin. Sure enough, hardly a thing changed. Only difference she could think of was...

❝ I only went up a few inches... ❞
August 22, 2025 at 10:37 AM
❝ Just on patrol. Nothin' 'ta see here. ❞

Well, Buttercup's idea of a patrol, anyways. She always suggested they should go out at night like symbols of justice, putting fear into the hearts of bad guys, but...

That never really went over well with the team, so this is a much tamer version of that.
August 22, 2025 at 10:34 AM
❝ Nice. I've beaten the crap out of the devil once or twice so, I think that evens us out. ❞

Without noticing, she begins to idly hover in place, using the air itself as a bed. Flight is one of the powers that seem to make her the most comfortable.
August 22, 2025 at 10:32 AM
❝ Guess that's somethin' we both have in common. When I was five, I was beating up giant robots and monsters n' launching 'em into space. ❞

Buttercup would chuckle, leaning her head backwards with her arms behind.

Surprisingly, she hasn't picked up on that though. Nothing's quite given that away.
August 22, 2025 at 10:14 AM
❝ Damn. I knew it was versatile, but I didn't think it'd be / that / crazy. You must have crazy focus if you're able to pull off stuff like that. ❞

Sensing all those things, much less controlling it... Buttercup couldn't imagine. She had skill, but something on that level looked difficult.
August 22, 2025 at 10:02 AM
❝ Bending, huh? ❞

Her eyes widened at the sight. She was able to just... control that piece of rock like it was nothing. Didn't even have to pick it up. Buttercup was kind of... fascinated by it.

❝ So, uh... How's it work? Looks pretty versatile... ❞
August 22, 2025 at 9:59 AM
❝ Whoa... ❞

Consider Buttercup impressed. Her grin became wider as she bent down to take a look at those things. She tilted her head onto one side and gave a grin.

❝ That's pretty metal. Literally. So, is that your superpower? Controlling metal stuff? Never seen anyone like that before. ❞
August 22, 2025 at 9:50 AM
❝ Sweet. You're gettin' cooler all the time! Wouldn't expect anything less from a green girl. ❞
August 21, 2025 at 10:56 AM
❝ Pfft. Alright, that was pretty badass. ❞

She takes the drink and downs at least half of it before giving a satisfied sigh, smirking, impressed with the bender.

❝ Just don't tell my sis about this. She'd actually kill me. ❞
August 21, 2025 at 10:50 AM
❝ Yeah, most soda cans ar-...

Wait, you have metal-bending powers? Dude, that's siiiick. You gotta let me see! ❞
August 21, 2025 at 10:35 AM
❝ Oh, uh.. It's a drink. It tastes like, um... Kind of a lemon-lime, but also kinda not? It's hard to describe. ❞

Buttercup tries to rummage her hand through her pockets, looking for any spare change that could add up to the total of what she needs from the vending machine.
August 21, 2025 at 10:31 AM
❝ Whaddya mean they're charging more for Mountain Dew?! Aw, man, I only brought a buck today! ❞
August 21, 2025 at 10:27 AM
❝ No prob, Toph.

Green girls gotta look out for each other, or, whatever. ❞
August 21, 2025 at 10:22 AM
❝ Sounds like a good plan. Just keep on doin' things the way you wanna do, and lighten your load when you wanna.

Name's Buttercup, by the way. ❞
