Touch Football mega thread

[nola_eleanor]

There was a field not too far from Phoenix Effect that was too small for all the various sports leagues in the city to have snapped up for weekend practices or games, but big enough for the fairly flexible game of touch football, so that's where they played. People came and went for most of the afternoon, though the game itself only lasted an hour and change. Almost everyone played, but there were several people watching, choosing to cheer or heckle or talk amongst themselves as it suited them.

When everyone got together enough to actually start the game, they divided into two teams, with Matteo as the referee. Zach's team was made up of Hazel, Max, Hanne, Nori, Nick, Alex, and Oliver; Kyle had Elspeth, Joel, Carrie, Caleb, Irene, Sam, and Elena on his team. It wasn't a blowout, but Zach's team won by a few touchdowns and were crowned the victors. Despite a couple minor accidents, everyone came out of it in one piece. More or less.

He got it and Dani was just so relieved. She'd only just started to figure herself out, so people who understood her were few and far between, and bringing Wanda into it all had only made it seem more impossible. "I'm really glad you're here. I was feeling really...I don't know. Out of place? Sort of tacked on and extraneous? I have Pietro, but. He's my brother but also he isn't."

"I can't even imagine how tough that is. The closest I've got is Steve, and I lost my mind without him in our own universe."

"I just want my brother in every universe to be safe and healthy and happy, and it feels like I never get that." Pietro had died, Ian was stuck with their parents, Oliver didn't have his Wanda. "It makes me wish I had my powers, so I could blow something up, blow off some steam. Of course that's probably also a very good reason not to have them." It was too easy for people to get hurt when she wasn't perfectly self-restrained.

"Have you tried boxing or something like that? It's not the same, but at least you'd get some of your feelings out."
