Sage was definitely enjoying herself at the skatepark. She hadn’t got the opportunity to be so active in a while. The last time she ever had a really good adrenaline thrill was when she first met the team after a very thrilling chase. Only she was the one being chased in that scenario. So, she really enjoyed being outside and feeling the piercing wind on her skin once again as she tears through it at a high speed.
"Hey guys watch this!" she yelled over her shoulder as she focused her concentration on the obstacle ahead of her.
"Be careful!" Toby called after her, he didn’t want any repeats of earlier. Both he and Ralph sat and watched from the bench as she got closer and close to the large ramp.
She did all the math quickly, whispering the calculation to herself as more of a reassurance than anything else. It wasn't that big of a risk, but it was definitely something someone shouldn't attempt to do after only their second time skateboarding. Most would consider it more of an expert attempt rather than a beginner. It was by far the largest ramp in the park, and her plan was to perform a simple flip after coming over the edge of the slick concrete, nothing much. So many calculations with angles, gravity, and momentum was involved to perform it properly and without injuring herself.
A few yards from the skating park were 4 teenage boys, with their boards and helmets tucked under their arms.They were just in time to see Sage go for the large jump, but instead of leaving her be they decide to interrupt.
"Hey! What's a little girl doing on a skateboard?" They teased. It snapped Sage's, Toby's, and Ralph's attention towards them. Distracting Sage just long enough to where she fell off the board from the unbalance while halfway up the ramp. She fell off the board and tumbled and down the ramp and slid across the concrete. Leaving her arms and side bloody and bruised from the fall. The boys didn’t seem to care, they laughed hysterically as they got closer to where she wiped out.
Toby and Ralph were up in an instant as soon as they saw her slide across the hard ground. THe boys, unfortunately, beat them to her.
"Is she gonna cry?" One of them laughed, leaning down to get in her face and let a faux pout form on his lips.
"She will. She's just a little girl," another teased, "A little girl shouldn't be riding a skateboard." The largest in the group kicked her skateboard up into his hand where it had rolled off during her tumble. Inspecting it with a wide smile as he shot a glance towards her.
Sage gave each of them an unamused frown as she sat up from the uncomfortable position in which she had landed. There was no way in any universe that she would satisfy them by letting a few pitiful tears fall down her cheeks. It just wasn't gonna happen.
"HEY! Beat it!" Toby yelled from behind the boys as he ran up to the scene with an angry scowl on his face.
"And what are you gonna do if I don't grandpa?" The larger one said with a wide smirk, taking a step closer to Toby.
"Come a little closer and find out," Toby threatened. In all honesty, he knew he wouldn’t be able to take them, but he did know that he could pretend that he could. Which could possibly scare them off a little, but if it didn’t, then he was in for it.
"Toby calm down. You need to focus on finding the guy at the park. Not rough housing with a bunch of teenage boys," Paige instructed.
Toby ignored her and took a step towards the boys forming a wall around Sage. He pushed Ralph behind him and socked the closest kid in the stomach when he took another threatening step forward. His friends caught him and the kid to his right came running towards him. He was getting ready to throw another blow, but Sage stops him before he could. She plowed through the rest of the boys and grabbed onto Toby’s arm.
