Powerpuffs Trauma AU

By: FunahoMisaki

(A/N: I own nothing and let's face it. After the events of Speed Demon there is no ay those girls were the same as before. That kind of thing would traumatize anyone… especially three five year olds. Frequent nightmares, their dad too busy to care for them, and relapses start to worry those closest to the girls until… one day. AU OOC slightly, Bashing and Femslash)

"I just stood there waving goodbye." Buttercup's head shot up, her hand coming up to cover her mouth and muffle her screams as a yell woke her up. Those hoarsely yet monotone words from her nightmare echoing in her head as her eyes darted around. Everything was red and broken. Why was it red?

"Buttercup?" Blossom's tired voice came from beside her as her vision cleared. No longer was there a broken down building and red sky, instead it was a fully intact building with a clear blue sky out the window. Beside her Bubbles sobbed softly as she was jolted awake as well. Out of the three of them, only Blossom had stayed awake at their table.

"The bell rang and the others left, that's what woke you both up." Blossom said thirdly while Ms. Keane walked over to them with a worried look on her face. The motherly teacher looked calm but worried on the outside but unknown to the girls, she was a complete wreck on the inside. She didn't know what happened to her three favorite little students that weekend they were supposed to go to the Bahamas but they never left the city, and they've been acting strange since then.

She noticed that they had gotten thinner, as if they weren't eating enough at home, and they seemed more withdrawn in the past two months. For the first month they had a good attempt at being normal and okay but now they seemed too tired even try. That was another thing. They were also very tired, as if they couldn't sleep at all at home and not only did they fall asleep in class a lot over the past week but they had frequent nightmares too. Heck even the villains had noticed their change and were a bit worried, except for HIM who hadn't shown up recently. You know it's bad when the Greengang gang and Fuzzy Lumpkins asked if the girls were okay before a fight because they looked so exhausted.

It was as if the girls had experienced a great Trauma and had PTSD or something.

"Are you ok-" That was as far as Ms. Keane got before Buttercup dashed past her to the trashcan and upheaved anything she had eaten in the past few hours, much to Ms. Keane's alarm.

"Who was it this time?" Blossom asked not sounding worried or bothered in the slightest as she walked over and rubbed her sister's back soothingly as the green clad girl gave several empty heaves.

"I just stood there…" Buttercup said in her best impression of the voice they had heard from their beloved teacher when they went fifty years into the future, not that she knew that. Bubbles broke down all out sobbing at this while Blossom shuddered as she handed Buttercup a napkin then went to gather Bubbles in her arms.

"You did that a little too well Buttercup." Blossom called over her shoulder as her sister wiped her mouth and tongue furiously with the napkin.

"M-ms. Bellum?" Bubbles questioned weakly when she managed to calm down after Blossom hugged her close.

"It was a nightmare Bubbles. Ms. Bellum is okay, she's at City Hall with the Mayor." Blossom said softly causing Bubbles to whimper slightly at the mention of City Hall and the Mayor.

"Are you sure?" Bubbles asked sounding terrified and Ms. Keane's heart went out to the little blue puff even as she stood there frozen as she watched the girls, the three of them having forgotten about her in the wake of their nightmares.

"She's fine Bubs. How bout we fly over there right now and you can see for yourself?" Buttercup asked throwing away the napkin as she stood up and walked over to her sisters as if she hadn't just puked. Ms. Keane was impressed but greatly worried at how well Buttercup had seemed to have pulled herself together in such a little bit of time.

"Really?" Bubbles asked looking at Buttercup with big watery eyes that made Ms. Keane melt. The three girls were all very cute normally but when they accidentally did the 'puppy dog' or sad eyes they were all absolutely adorable even if the sight of one of them crying nearly broken Ms. Keane's heart.

"Are you okay to fly Buttercup?" Blossom asked looking at the green puff sharply. Out of the three of them the little pink puff seemed to be the one who was together the most, and something in the back of Ms. Keane's head told her it was because the little red head hadn't fallen asleep like her sisters had.

"Yeah to both. What are we waiting for? Schools out so we can zip over there now before we go home and you'll see that she's just fine… big baby." Buttercup said causing Bubbles to dry her eyes slightly as she nodded in agreement, not even saying anything about being called a baby.

"Then let's go girls." Blossom said floating up and towards the door, her sisters floating after her.

"Bye Ms. Keane!" The three called down to the teacher as they took off towards City Hall, flying slightly wobbly and nowhere near as fast as the usually did.

"Bye girls." Ms. Keane called reflexively waving at them and looking worried when all three girls nearly fell out of the air as their heads swiveled back around to her with looks of pure terror on their faces for a brief second. Ms. Keane looked at them concerned s they quickly righted themselves and flew off towards Town Hall a good bit faster now, a certain blue puff going just a little bit faster than her siblings.

Something had happened to the girls and now they were tormented by it…and whatever it was seemed to be centered around her and Ms. Bellum… she'd have to call the buxom secretary later. For now she had to take out the trash… glancing into the trash can Ms. Keane froze for a moment.

"Neon colored things… and blood… that's definitely not a good sign. Oh girls… what's happened to you three?" Ms. Keane wondered worriedly as she stared after where the girls had gone.

Not many knew it but Ms. Keane was qualified to teach at a college…she just stayed at the elementary school because she loved children. Neon colored puke meant that there wasn't anything left in the stomach… either that or the girl ate some neon colored food but even then the color would have been dulled slightly by the stomach acid…

Ms. Keane's eyes hardened. Obviously the girls weren't getting the sleep or food they needed at home. She'd have to have a talk with Ms. Bellum and then invite the girls to dinner so she could discreetly question them about what was going on at their home.

Heaven have mercy on the Professor if she found out he was neglecting, or worse abusing, her cute little students because if he was then Sandra Keane and Sara Bellum would not!
