Ms. Keane: Why, Brick. (picking him up.) Why the long face?

Brick: I've become a jinx. I'm no good anymore.

Ms. Keane: Oh, sweetie, I'll hear nothing of that. I was about to fix a nice hot cup of tea for me and the Professor. (carrying him away.) Would you like to pour us some?

Brick: (brightening) I can do that!

Even reformed and adopted supervillains-turned-heroes have bad days too. Brick, for unknown reasons, loses his confidence and intelligence and becomes a jinx following a whole day of unfortunate events in where he accidentally causes more harm and destruction to the city and others, even getting Blossom badly hurt in the process which causes her to yell at him and refuse to talk to him. When Butch destroys the most of Mojo Jojo’s robots and HIM's demons, he takes Brick's role as the leader of the Rowdyruff Boys and also the leader of Team Chemical X while Blossom was out in search for her counterpart after he vanished in self exile after she recovered, feeling incredibly guilty and ashamed about what she did to him. Meanwhile, Mojo, using Brick's situation and Blossom's search, kidnaps Bubbles, Buttercup, Boomer, Butch, Professor Utonium, and Ms. Keane. But will Brick regain his leadership and will Blossom find him?

This was based on Not So Awesome Blossom from Season 4, which in all honesty is a more proper episode for her when it comes to superheroes doing bad things (either by accident or by greed), much more than A Very Special Blossom and Fallen Arches (both of which have been removed from my indie series Powerpuff Girls Repowered).

This time its Brick's turn to suffer Blossom's bad day, but in the united series, Team Chemical X, I had to add more to this than just recasting the Utonium clan with the Keane clan. Along with the unfortunate destruction of some well loved buildings in Townsville I figured there would be a part in where Blossom angrily yells at him for accidentally getting her badly hurt in battle and refuses to talk to him while she's recovering in her room. There will be the part about the hot tea with the Professor, but with Ms. Keane added to the mix it'll also hurt her which will cause Brick to abandon his home in self-exile just like Blossom before him.
