they just let anyone do this shit, don’t they? buttercup has to work very hard to keep her eyes from rolling right out of her head. this might be kind of hypocritical of her, seeing as she’s been solving mysteries and exterminating monsters since she was five. that’s different, though. she and her sisters have SUPERPOWERS for fuck’s sake. they can do whatever they want. she’s pretty sure it’s all sorts of illegal to have a civilian assist in criminal cases, but whatever.
buttercup waves her puff id to the uniformed mopes surrounding the area, flashing it far too quickly for them to actually read it. they don’t need to see it. the puff uniform gives her away. the glow of her eyes makes her recognizable from miles away. some of the officers give her the side eye, hands hovering over available sticks and sidearms; the others visibly relaxed. while she might be the most VOLATILE powerpuff, she is still, at the end of the day, a powerpuff.
“the big kids are here now,” buttercup tells the girl who looks like she’s in the middle of collecting evidence. would’ve been nicer if she could have gotten an eyeful of the scene as it was, but she’ll be fine anyway. buttercup’s got a pretty good idea of who did this. the only reason the pi is here at all is because the owner of the establishment is subscribed to whatever bullshit diane’s peddling these days. she waves her puff id at her too. buttercup’s almost certain her name’s nancy --- something overheard on the police scanner on her way in --- but she doesn’t really care one way or another.
