With this in mind, the Dark Mirror Senshi powered up to go check out one of his favorite places to go collect energy - the basketball court at Romano's. It was a common hangout of his school bullies and he delighted in taking some small revenge on them, however slight or unnoticeable. In the time he'd been gone, they hadn't forgotten about him or picked a new favorite target, which he supposed he could have been flattered about in a way. But as Jack, the Romano's student was now a sophomore and as Sinope, the sailor scout was now a super senshi. No longer was he willing to put up with what he had prior to his involuntary little adventure into Altea's world.
In fact, if he saw said bullies at the basketball court, he couldn't have been sure he would have simply allowed his mirror wraith silently steal energy from them as usual. Far more appealing was the idea of showing himself as Super Sinope and perhaps doing a bit of bullying of his own; at least enough to dissuade them from causing Jack Burnett trouble ever again. He had more than enough on his plate without them to put up with and the recent trials he'd had to endure with his court had made his schoolmates seem like trifles in comparison. Maybe he'd enjoyed their attention to make up for his lack of friends. The challenges to match his wits against their violence had staved off boredom, certainly. But real, powered fights with higher stakes and greater risks had overshadowed their previous interactions in every way. He figured it was about time to get both them and him to move past their trite victim-aggressor relationship.
When he got there, though, the court was empty. Perhaps it wasn't an evening the boys had decided to play. "So much for staving off boredom," the hooded super mumbled, hopping down from the roof where he usually spectated to enter the basketball court. A ball had gotten stuck behind one of the hoop backboards, so he jumped up to hit it down. Grinning, he relished his heightened abilities as he touched the ground and caught the ball before it bounced a second time. He'd already been impressed with the power, speed, and strength he'd had as a basic senshi, but as a super, he almost thought the additional boost might have been worth it.
Because he was all too aware that the more power he had, the more of a threat he would be seen as, Sinope had been against ever upgrading from his basic senshi self. Unfortunately, an accidental mishap with a mirror in Altea's castle had caused him and another of his court to change before they'd even realized what was happening. He had resented the involuntary promotion at first, but now that the mess with the crazed crystal queen was over, he had more time to ponder the pros and cons of being a super.
Attracting unwanted attention was definitely a con. He sensed an eternal senshi nearby, but their energy signature was warped with Negaverse chaos. He was curious, but not enough to seek out the source just yet. Sinope hadn't gotten along all that well with any of the corrupt senshi he had met prior and this one outranked him even as a super. If the stranger decided they didn't like Sinope, which he figured was more probable than not, he knew he likely wouldn't have stood a chance. Experiences with a certain captain in the past were vivid reminders that the Negaverse was not to be underestimated in terms of what they were willing to do to those who antagonized them.
If the corrupt eternal felt inclined to seek him out, they would have been able to find him with no problem. Sinope wasn't stupid enough to think he could out-run or otherwise escape from the superior senshi if they didn't want him to. However, he wasn't about to encourage their hostility by imposing on them if they wanted to be left alone.

((Sorry this took so long! XP Please let me know if there's anything I need to change~
EDIT: WHOOPS! Editing because I forgot that Sinope had actually met more than just one corrupt senshi before; one of which was actually Chrys herself, though she may or may not remember him from that time. XD))
