Athabel nodded. She'd heard of the girls very vaguely from the other street kiddies who knew they'd be trouble. In Cityscape, there was a system: the cops and the good guys go after the big things, and ignore the small stuff. Everyone gets along.
But, these girls weren't from around here, and they could easily screw everything up. Justin's mention of the crab meat made her smile. It was so...him. She chuckled, the thought of him eating dead monsters was surprisingly amusing.
"Okay. I guess I should let you go home. Get some rest." She said.

Justin nodded, then gave Athabel a sleepy, but still caring smile. "all right. I'll see you around." he said, walking away in the direction of his home. he then reached his house, walked inside, and then plopped down on his bed, quickly dozing off.
Lars landed in a dark alley, flipped his hood over his face, and walked into the open, hiding a stiletto knife in his sleeve, for interrogation purposes. he wasn't just looking for Justin. he had someone else in mind as well.

Athabel sighed, watching with a small smile as Justin left her, as he often did, for more important things. She didn't blame him--no, if he didn't do what he did, he'd be a waste--but sometimes his lack of time for her was painful. But, she loved him, so she smiled and carried on with her painting, waiting for the day when they could really be together.

Lars walked throughout the town, a few dead bodies in his wake. clearly, the road to his goals was paved in blood and violence. soon after, he laid eyes on Athabel, watching her paint. he had imagined so many ways to make her suffer greatly, just from that one look, but he wanted Justin to see the bloodbath, and know that he had no way to stop it. he sighed and walked away, his face still hidden.

Athabel turned, feeling eyes on her back and fearing some sort of law enforcement had decided to drop her a visit. She looked around, a frown marring her face until she decided she was indeed perfectly alone. She shrugged and turned back to her art, pulling her headphones down over her ears and mouthing the words along with the song.

Bubbles said "Blossum!!!" and she floated there-not yet ready to go jumping in there

Dexter woke up and exited the tank, but he was still hurt bad from when Lars chokeslammed him. he then went to the computer and sent Justin a message.
Justin heard his cell ringing, as if it got a message, and woke up, feeling more well rested this time. he picked up the phone, opened it, and read the message. it was only two words long, but he knew the meaning all too well, and he felt his soul going mad with fear and rage. the message was "He's back." he clearly knew who "he" was: Lars. he grabbed his drill and a few other weapons, then ran out to see if Dexter was okay. the poor kid would have to be lucky to survive against Lars.

"I-I think so..." Angelica stuttered. She didn't need to pretend to look terrified. If Blossom figured out what kind of game she was playing, Angelica was going to be in a lot of pain. "I just walked in my room, and that freak was here..." She wasn't lying yet.
Him didn't know what was going on inside of Angelica's head. He wasn't going to just give up on getting her on his side. He kept his mouth shut. He knew that he might need the little brat, but he would have to get her back for this.

Buttercup floated to Blossom's side and scoweld at the red villain. "What do you think you're doing HERE? Your place is back in Townsville." Buttercup hissed and got ready to kick him anywhere she could when he answered.

Lars took off into the sky again, and saw something going on nearby. he landed close to a nearby house that had a huge hole in the wall, and peeked in through a window to see four girls, and a creepy, red skinned transvestite with crab claws for hands. it looked like there might be violence, so he hid there and decided to watch the fireworks, and maybe set off a bang of his own.

Blossom frowned and glanced back at Angel. She seemed sincerely terrified, and no matter how much she didn't like her, no one deserved this.
"This doesn't mean I trust you." She said, her voice flat. She looked at her sisters and sighed.
"Take her downstairs, Bubbles. Tell the professor what happened, make sure she's properly bandaged and give her some Advil. Buttercup, you can stay." She turned back to Him, unsure of what on Earth he was doing in Cityscape accosting girls they happened to be associated with.
"You're scum, y'know that? This is low, even for you." She spat.
Athabel watched as the moon began to rise, the terrible heat of the black concrete beginning to fade with the night's cool. She sat down and leaned against the wall, her arms pressing against the welcome cold surface as she closed her eyes. She was so, so tired...

Justin ran into Dexter's lab, and saw that he was alive, but barely standing. he ran over and helped Dexter get his balance. "Dexter! are you alright?!? what am I saying, of course not! why are still up after that!? you need rest!" he ordered his friend, worried for him.
Dexter shook his head. "no time! Lars is still out there somewhere! he's looking for you! you have to prepare for a fight at some point, but make sure your girlfriend is safe, first! he could easily go after her to get under your skin! I'll be fine! just go!" he demanded!
Justin nodded and ran out of the lab, looking all over town for any sign of Lars or Athabel.
Lars was truly bored now. he hadn't seen any blood spilled, so these girls and the transvestite were already worthless to him for entertainment. he then made a loud, fake yawn, hoping to kill the mood as payback.
(Lars is just mean like that)

Angelica went with Bubbles. She didn't have a choice. She was very interested in what would happen.
"Oh, sweet little Blossom, I've always known that." He lashed a claw out at the redhead.

Lars saw the crab guy swipe at the redhead, and saw that things were pickin' up, so he just sat there.

Blossom tried to duck sideways without letting the villain go, but failed. She held on tight, but ended up with a long, deep gash across her face that was already forcing the taste of blood in her mouth. She didn't move to wipe it away for fear of losing her shaky upper-hand in this tiny spat for power.
Blossom was for once at a loss for what to do. Him was certainly his own brand of evil and she could never tell what he was going to do next. It was safer for her with Him pinned, but it also meant they'd be there for a while.
