HIM smirked.  Just as he thought, it was far easier for Boomer to accept these feelings than the harsher ones of revenge.  He had always been slightly more compassionate than the other boys, and would prove quite useful for turning the other Rowdyruffs around, given enough time.  But HE could hardly just leave Boomer to puzzle things out for himself.  Besides being a bit dim, what sort of<em>father</em>would HE be if he allowed HIS son to be overcome by indecision?  Unknowingly, Boomer was being given far more attention than Mojo had ever paid him.<br/><br/>I should risk it.  I mean, at first she'll be surprised, that's a given.  But what if I wait to tell her?  What happens then?  HIM paused for a moment.  It would be just a bit too unbelievable for someone of Boomer's intellect to figure everything out all at once.  Nothing good, that's for damn sure.  What if I genuinely try to get in good with her, only for Mojo to ruin things by saying I was undercover the whole time?  She'd never trust me again.  If I tell her about Mojo's plot, not only can I make sure she'll trust me, but it'll keep Butch and Brick from hurting her sisters in the process.  Then, since they won't be on "dear old dad's" payroll, maybe I could convince 'em to try for a real relationship.  Couldn't hurt, right?<br/><br/>Most villains would look at HIM and find his plans completely incomprehensible.  What would any villain have to gain from uniting the two most powerful super teams in Townsville, especially when HE had had so much trouble with just the three girls in the past?  It was precisely that enigmatic mind that allowed him to go places that other ne'er-do-wells would never even think of.  The ends that HE sought would come to pass.  And of course, HE would have the pleasure of seeing Mojo brought to his knees.  The simian could barely handle the girls by themselves.  If they gained overprotective boyfriends with powers even stronger than their own...<br/>
