"I will not!" Robbie had to put his foot down sometime after all. It may not have been clearly necessary for him to put it down so many times or as loudly as he did, but that had never stopped him before.
"But you'll like!" Sportacus was hanging upside-down from one of the rafters, smiling happily at the pouting villain.
"I will not!" Anotehr stomp, followed by a string of cusses as he tried, unsuccessfully, to open his hatch. "Damn thing, keeping me locked down here with Sportakook over there!"
Sportacus pouted. "You said you wouldn't use that nickname anymore. And really, you'll like it. It's sweet and delicious." The smile was back and absolutely dazzling as he flipped to the ground, posing for a moment. "And I have plenty."
"No!" Robbie continued his efforts to open the door. "I said no and I mean no! You won't get that into me if I have to tie you down and hide in a costume tube until you starve."
"It's not anything special! It's just a little something to make a bit better." That smile was still there, white teeth flashing as he climbed up the ladder towards Robbie. "I promise, it's not going to hurt you!"
"Never!" With that very loudly spoken word, Robbie pried the lid open and was out. He didn't run, but the billboard nearby gave him a very opportune hiding placed. And when he managed to get a seat on the edge of the billboard, he dropped. While he'd known being Sportacus's lover would have it's down side he hadn't even imagined…
"I just don't see what's so bad about gummy vitamins." With a shrug, Sportacus flipped out of the tunnel and headed for the basketball courts. Stephanie and Pixel had started a game and it would be several hours before Robbie willing came down. Still smiling brilliantly, the superhero flipped off on his way.
