"It's okay! You can come out now" said Robin, closing her bedroom door behind her.
She'd been down to meet her Powerpuff pal, and Boomer had instinctively gone to hide in the corner among a mound of cuddly animals. His royal blue hues stared out from the bundle. The last thing he wanted was to be greeted by the iron-fist of the tomboy, who'd immediately assume his mere presence was a threat or invasion into the Snyder residence. The collective trembling of the pile stopped at that confirmation and he rose from the heap, rubbing his head.
"Man, let's get the heck outta here. I'm really pushing my luck just being here" griped Boomer.
"Where shall we go?"
The place breathed 90's and 2000's nostalgia. Brick and Butch weren't fans particularly of skateboarding and found it to be amusing entertainment at best and a snooze-fest at the worst. Someone's speakers blared out OPM's 'Heaven is a Half-pipe' and the skate park was fueled with excited chatter and older kids and teens grinding on rails. Boomer and Robin sat up on the the fence and watched some skaters swirl around in the bowl, like koi carp and rush back and forth within the half-pipes. While Robin was enjoying seeing the bold handstands of the half-pipe goers, snatching the rim of the edge before dropping back down, and skill in balance going along the rails, Boomer was eagerly waiting for someone to break their arm.
"This is kinda fun!" said Robin, kicking her feet a little.
"Yeah. Well, all this is pretty tame by my standards" boasted Boomer.
"Tame?"
"Yeah, I mean sure, some of these twerps are okay, but can they do hardcore stuff?"
The little girl chewed her lip, cowering slightly at the boy's blood hungry determination "Is it dangerous?"
"Heck, yeah! That's what makes it so fun!"
"I dunno..."
Boomer jumped from the fence "You don't have to lift a finger. Watch!"
Confidently, he approached a teen, finishing on a front-side 5-0 on some stairs. His had a crop cut, piercings and had a board with spooky tiki designs. "Hey, shortstop. You might wanna take a seat to the side before someone uses you as a fun-box"
Off to a good start. Snatching his board, the Rowdyruff took off towards the first set of rails.
"HEY!" barked the skater, shaking his fist.
Everything revolved around the blonde from there, as he proceeded into doing 360 kick flips, then shooting down into the bowl, racing in the perimeter, before zipping back up and heading to the half pipe, keeping up phenomenal speed. The older girls, having previously lounged around by the 'cool' guys, now crowded around the side and watched the boy blast up to one side, high, nearly out of sight. All the while, Boomer was chill and practically danced with the tiki skateboard, showing how much time he had before he came back down and darted up the other side. Robin remained on the fence and stared in awe at the lad who continued to 'impress' her.
Back in the bowl, he raced around, faster and faster, then shot up onto a set of rails to grind effortlessly on a funbox and returned to the teen's feet, handing him his board. The crowd applauded and cheered.
"Here" smirked the blonde, returning the board.
"You knucklehead! There better not be any scratches on this thing!" whined the slim teen. inspecting his board.
"Pfft! Or what?"
The ego de-flated loser snatched the kid by the collar, his face inches from his "You mess with me or my board again, squirt, I'll knock your teeth out"
"I'll hold you to that, lanky. Let's see watcha got!"
"BOOMER!" called Robin, leaping from the fence and darting over. She hoped his pride wasn't gonna be the death of him.
However, the impression of the blue hued fellow being weak or defenseless was destroyed, as he delivered a swift uppercut, knocking back the older boy's head, causing him to stumble back and fall into the bowl. The Rowdyruff cackled harshly. The crowd were taken aback by the 'innocent' kid's strength and the teen, having not learned his place, scrambled stupidly up from the bowl and lunged at him, only for Boomer to scoot aside and cause him to trip and knock himself on a rail. His eyes illuminated a bright red and the teen, finally gathering Boomer had super powers like the famous female trio, let out a terrified shriek as he ran around the park, avoiding the laser vision that trailed behind him.
"Ha, ha, ha! What a rat!" chuckled the boy, before he grabbed the startled Robin and sped towards the motorbike that the teen was dashing for.
The desperate teen gasped and choked on his own words.
"Don't worry. I won't leave any scratches" mused the blonde, grinning at the thug, revving the engine.
Robin wasn't sure what to make of the scene. She was sure Boomer was just being boisterous and narcissistic, because he was actually insecure or weak and looking for acceptance. Now, she realized he was a real delinquent punk. Her stomach turned in both fear and excitement and felt a minor blush stain her cheeks, being sat in front of Boomer, as he took a hold of the handles and fired them both off, temporarily chasing the teen, before racing into the park with the bike. The girl screamed in panic and covered her eyes.
Into the bowl they went, teens dashing from the premise for their own safety. The constantly turning was making the terrified Robin nauseous, but thankfully they left the bowl and darted over to the half-pipe and began dashing up and down, spinning in the air, making a tasteful front-side 5-0, then blasting up, full speed into the air. The girl was butter, almost close to fainting. She wondered if maybe she should call for help, feeling her own safety be put in peril. But, Boomer jumped from the bike, carrying her and shot out his lasers at the vehicle, causing an explosion to shake the air. The teen far below pulled his hair in sheer hysteria. How was he gonna explain the state of his stolen motorbike from his dad?
The park had people scattering like ants and the Rowdyruff snickered. Robin clung to the boy, staring down at the park. Was this a normal thing Boomer would do?
"Heh, that was pretty fun. I sure shut that dude up"
Instead of feeling some remorse for a guy who essentially instigated a fight with the blonde in the first place, a satisfied smile found her face "Hee hee, yeah. Did you see his face?"
Boomer smiled "I know. He'll think twice before messing with me again!"
The blonde flew off with her, now heading towards the dump. Not far away, a pair of eyes watched them. Brick and Butch watched their brother with intrigue. Despite wanting to be in on whatever was happening, they thought it best to stay in the shadows.
