Alex stood nervously at the edge of the group, his eyes darting around in search of a partner. Chloe stood confidently at the starting line, her boyfriend by her side, a smirk playing on her lips. "Ready to lose, Alex?" she taunted, her voice dripping with playful menace.
Alex leaned against a tree, feeling the weight of Chloe's words. Just then, a figure emerged from the shadows, clad in a mysterious cape. Batgirl, with her confident stance and knowing smile, stepped forward. "Need a partner, Alex?" she asked, her voice carrying a hint of mischief.
Alex climbed onto Batgirl's back, feeling a surge of excitement and determination. The whistle blew, and they were off. Chloe and her boyfriend sprinted ahead, but Batgirl's steady pace kept them neck and neck.
Batgirl dug her heels into the earth, propelling them forward with renewed vigor. Alex clung on, eyes wide with exhilaration. As they rounded the final bend, Batgirl surged ahead, her focus unyielding.
Batgirl crossed the line first, Alex raising his arms in triumph. Chloe stumbled to a stop, her face flushed with frustration. "You cheated, Alex!" she yelled, pointing an accusatory finger.
Chloe's boyfriend stepped forward, a calm expression on his face. "No, Chloe," he said firmly, "they won fair and square. Even if I were Batgirl's age, I couldn't have beaten her." Chloe huffed, turning on her heel and storming off, leaving Alex and Batgirl smiling at their unexpected victory.
