"...I just know you will make a great Hydra."

I can believe that "Steven," has stolen daddy away from me! I am way experienced to be the next captain! What makes him so much better?! I've been tutored and trained since I was seven years old. I know more than him! More importantly, daddy trusts me and loves me more, but ever since that little rat came along, daddy doesn't pay attention to me!

Actually, when daddy mentioned I was going to have a brother when we moved here in America, he seemed to pay less attention to me. But that's only because he's working and because it's apparently part of growing up. I have to be more independent- at least that's what papa told me, so he must be right. But still, I can't believe papa is loving someone who only met for a couple of months. The little ORPHAN IS RUINING MY LIFE! NOT DADDY! He would never think less of me, it's the rat's fault!!! IT'S ALL STEVE'S FAULT!!! HE'S CHANGING PAPA!!!

And now with Viper.

Great, the boy blacked out or something, right when it started to rain- at least it's nothing heaving where it's going to ruin my ponytails.

You know, I never get why the boy Steve- from team Avengers- even tries to be in physical activities. He's very thin and loses his breath quickly- where in the world does that brain think he has the energy? I've seen what he does and it's really not that much, and it's great to know that there are people so easy to target with. It's very pathetic- really. It feels to me with greatness that I am better than someone.... at least by most but my goddamn brother...

I will never admit it but he's a real challenge.

I do want to win- but I want to win the game without him. I want to show we can win without him and I was so close, if only he didn't push me back! He made me lose my cool! Nonetheless, I am very lucky for Brock benign on my side, he's probably the only one with the most knowledge between me and the rat.

I'm such a lucky girl, I don't know how I will live without him. I'm sure I would struggle to place my brother in a pit of pure misery and failure- for the rest of his life. I want to show papa that Steve is not perfect to be called a true Schmidt. Good thing I've got more examples to tell papa that Steve lost in a fight with another kid. Little failures like those will surely break down Steve. But that's what he gets for lying to daddy.

I got pulled away from the scene. It caught me off guard, but at least it was just Brock. We are not too far where I can't see the rest, nor too close where they can hear Brock asking if I still want Steve- my brother- out of the round. "Well of course! It's only Nat and that twig in the game! Pretty convenient too, we can get an easy win!"

"Can we at least have Nat lose another point first? She's pretty difficult to get out, I only have two points left."

"Are you telling me you can't take Nat? I can't take Nat? We can't take Nat?" I crossed my arms.

"Wait- no, no, no. I didn't mean it that way, it's just... never mind."

"That's what I thought." I wanted to go, but Brock seemed pretty disappointed. I didn't want to leave him sad and alone- I guess I didn't mean to sound so harsh on my teddy. Geez- curse my weak heart, but that's what I get for falling for such a true gentleman. So in return, I tiptoed and gave him a kiss on his cheek for luck. "Don't worry, we will do great."

Hydra didn't say anything when Brock and Sin came back. After all, they haven't missed much. Steve still needs to recover- he's awake now- but he needs more time. However, based on his judgment, the Avengers are using this opportunity as another intercession.

(< > Means speaking a different language: French.)

"I going to miss dis. It was hmmm, how to say? <It was so much fun.>" Batroc says.

"<I'm not. This was very stressful, and boring. I'm glad this is already going to be over!>" Hydra says.

"<Well that sucks for you, but at least we are going to win!>"

"<Fuck yeah we are.>"

---

"Steve, you sure you want to keep playing?" Nat asks.

"Yes! Definitely-"

"Even after knowing they are going to win?" Clint says.

"Nat still has her two points, and I still have three. You guys should know, I'm no quitter. As long as one of us is still in the game, it's not over yet- there is always a chance to win. Hydra was able to keep going even after he was alone with three people, and he was able to take one. If that doesn't tell me hope exists, I don't know what is."

"FRIENDS. Steven is correct! Common you all, let's cheer for victory! Let's cheer for each other!" Thor says, hugging Tony, Bruce, and Bucky under his arms.

"Augh, Th- THoR yOu are cHoCkInG US!" Tony says.

"My bad! Just this affirmation of Steven to great willingness, get's me overjoyed! LET'S GO NAT AND STEVE!"

---

Bruce flipped the penny one last time, landing it for Steve to have the ball. And right when that ball touched the wall, the Hydra's aggression became. They were pushing and falling involved but the Avengers were still in the game till they had Zemo out of the round, making it easy because Sin seemed to weaken Hydra by annoying him. 

Nat and Steve don't know what she says to him- but whatever it is- it surely affects Hydra, having him to lose two points. And later on, Steve lost one of his points. Nonetheless, Hydra snapped. He blames his sister for his mistakes, but Sin will say otherwise- while playing the game. "Why are you blaming me?! I'm the one with three points. You are about to lose, so c'mon Steve get your game up!"

Hydra couldn't take it anymore. Next thing when Sin caught the ball, he went to get her to taste her own medicine however, someone stopped him before he could tackle her down. Hydra struggled to escape- but his legs were hugged together. He managed to turn and see that it was Crossbones who betrayed him. "Brock! What the hell are you doing?! Let me go!" Hydra struggled but Crossbones kept him on the ground.

"What am I doing?! You were about to tackle down my girl, dude!"

( < > Means speaking a different language: German.)

"Don't "dude," me! <GET OFF ME!>"

"Can't do, skinny bones." Hydra tried to push him off, with all his strength- but Brock was just too heavy for him.

Crossbones signals Sin to keep playing, and the other two Hydras listen to him. They were skeptical at first, but then slowly went for the dramatic changes. The Hydras manage to have Steve out of the game, and made Nat lose another point. And for the Avengers- they manage to get Taskmaster out of the round, and Sin to have one more point till she is out of the game.

Hydra had stopped trying to get away from his friend when the Avengers got Task out of the round. But the snap of Sin almost losing, pushed himself up, making his "friend" fall from his back.. "God you're so fat." He says, cracking his back.

"I'm not fat, it's muscle weight." As Hydra's back was facing Crossbones, he took the opportunity to tackle Hydra from behind again. Though, he was the one who failed. He was the one on the floor, and will still be down by Hydra's knee on his back, including his arms.

"Explain yourself." Hydra whispers next to Brock's ear.

"Helping your sister from you. You went crazy, dude. Control yourself, it's just a game."

"Not to me and you know it, Brock." He says, slowly getting away from his friend. "Let's go, we have a game to finish."

It's only Nat vs. Crossbones, Sin, Hydra, and Batroc- with only one more point before she is out.

Seeing that Sinthea and Hydra are on the edge to lose, they were Nat's first targets. She throws the ball, then lands for Batroc to get the ball. Of course, he will throw it on an angle to be bounced back for Nat- so she moved out of the way for Crossbones to fail. Nat could not do much since Sin had the ball next, who also winked at her. Nat did not know what she meant, but when Sin passed the ball to her brother- unexpectedly- he failed to catch it.

Now, Nat understands. She went for the ball and gave it a hard kick, before Batroc pushed her off. She doesn't know if she made it, till Sin announces Hydra is officially out.

Hydra couldn't believe it- he lost. He lost this round before Sin could. The last round where he should have won! But thanks to Brock, Sinthea had won by cheating, again! Gets to show- he's not good enough to take a snake- a snake who he should have ignored.

Why didn't he ignore Sin? She was just whispering nonsense such as: "hey Steven, what will you do if we lose?" And, "you should really stick your head in the game, you already lost last round." And "Imagine if papa was here? I'm sure he will be soOOOoo proud of you." And especially, "did you really think you were good at lying last night? Might I tell you, I didn't tell him anything yet. Good luck being in the basement again.~"

Hydra scream, "FUCK!" And glared at Sin who gave a smirk.

Crossbones pushed Hydra out of the way to leave. He didn't have much choice but to rest on the ground- opposite side from the bench where everyone is probably having a great time. Even those degenerate Avengers, who they know they are about to lose. How can someone be so happy for near failure and humiliation? This is not a game after all, for goodness sake this is a game for the dome climbers and everyone seemed to forget about that and how Sin clearly made him lose!

Hydra wonders what Brock sees in Sin? Or even anyone. Everything just seems to come so easy for her. She doesn't even need to do the work, Batroc does the throwing, and Brock is defending Sin from Nat.

---

It was another great visit but as always, great times have to end. Steve was happy to clean up afterwards, and as he placed the board game to it's shelf, something appeared in the corner of his eye. It was someone he knew standing on the doorway with an upset look, with their arms crossed. "I see you like playing chess."

"Hello Sinthea."

"You know what I like about chess? Is that the most powerful piece is the queen and not the king. And you are not even a king-" She pushes Steve, with one little finger. "You are just some lonely pawn. So how about you run away to find some other family- unless you want to be on my way, peasant."

---

It was a bumpy start but now that he's away, my victory is coming all together. I knew the other Hydras needed triumph more than Steven. Even if I might be wrong, having the other Hydras not doing anything to stop me gets to show otherwise, and that's all I needed.

However, it's taking forever for the boys to take Nat. I keep telling them what to do but they just won't do anything right, and it's getting me very impatient, so it was up to me to finish the job. As soon as Nat dropped the wall, I was the one to have it next and throw it. I did not care on aiming it to her- as much as I wanted to- I just aimed the ball anywhere at the wall, so I could get my clear victory already, yet that god dam red- head seems to be faster.

I knew I was going to wail out of my head if that girl touched the wall first, but I did not. Again, I'm such a lucky girl to have such a true gentleman. Crossbones backed up Nat before she could make it- and in that moment we all now know who is the true winner.

The Avengers stayed quiet while we cheered.

I ran up to Brock and hugged behind him from behind, "Oh my Hydra! Teddy you did it, thank you!" Next, I hear him chuckling and feel his arms picking me up for a tighter hug, and spin me around, then having me sit on his shoulder. "We all knew how this was going to end, Nat. So don't doubt yours too hard."

The girl finally had the will to get up. She just looked at us and walked where her loser friends.

I really thought everything was over, but of course- some kid had to ruin it all. I'm guessing he's mad that Brock tackled him down, and not ale to win this for us? "Great job you two."

"Why thank you-"

"I'm being sarcastic. You two were teaming up the whole time, weren't you?! To get me out of the game?! What the fuck Brock, I though you were better than this."

---

Brock put Sinthea down, and went close to Steve. He tried to stop smiling or chuckle, so he put his hand on each side of his hip to help become intimidating, but it didn't. Nor by seeing his friend's serious face "Sorry buddy, but I never was. I've met people like you in daily biases, so your power ain't do shit on me. All those times we bonded- I couldn't take you seriously after your sister shared with me how you survived in the orphanage... I gotta say, I admire your attempt but ya gotta know, we all got daddy issues, and you got a control freak issue. We ain't no weak orphans like you-" Steve dismantled Brock's bottom jaw.

It started a blood rage between the two ex- friends, without the other Hydras stopping. Being that they were wrestling each other- so breaking them apart was no use. There wrestling consisted a lot of choking each other, and biting- mostly by Steve. Therefore it was no surprise he won again. Though that didn't mean Steve walked away clean. Brock is in fact more heavy, taller, and stronger than Steve- so he got a couple of punches on his face.

Brock tried to get up- with the help of Sin. He limped and held his chest, however he felt something warm in his hand. A bite mark that bleeds. Brock looks up at his "friend" who smudges the blood from his lips, and all he could do was chuckled. "No one has ever done that to me."

"Leave, and never talk to us again."

"Oh, I was never playing too, why would I? And y'all too." Brock looks at the Hydras. "You all are welcome to join us. I'm telling you- he's a mother fucking control freak, just think about it before-"

"Don't listen to him! He's nothing but a traitor."

"And you're an ass- hell of a brother, my friend." Brock gripped his chest from laughing. It caused Sin for them to leave, and as they walked away from the arena, he shouted his last "adios." However, when they knew they were far away for no one to hear, Brock asked Sinthea if he did a good job with a chuckle.

"You always do everything good, I was just not expecting Steve to attack you. I was expecting him to have a breakdown or admitting some things. But that is not important, you're hurt. We have to go fast before it rains more."

"Oh, but Sinie I have a limp. My toe hurts." Brock dramatically says, and shifted his weight on Sin.

"No you don't, you were walking just fine. Common Teddy, stop it." She whines, tiring to push Brock's heavy arm away from her head. But slowly he goes down and down- and cries in pain. And when he made it to the floor, he groaned to death.

Brock didn't hear her say anything. He opened one eye to see Sin with a pouty look. And he couldn't help it but laugh just to be stabbed. Steve surely punched his rib pretty hard. Sin went to help him, and said to stop playing. He agrees, though he asks where they will be heading to.

"To your house, it's the nearest."

"No, my place is too dangerous- I've told you many times. Let's go to yours instead."

Mama did most of the work to cure the little boy's injuries. He was covered in damage all over his torso, had a toe injury, and had more bite marks in his arm, and of cures his hand. Lucky, it was the last to be bandaged up. And while he was being treated, Sin was watching from the doorway.

Mama was so concerned for Steve. She couldn't believe he was the cause for this, she keeps mentioning about it just to make sure. And it secretly makes Sin sick. "Well I hope he comes back soon. He has a phone with him, why isn't he calling?"

"You know him, he loves the rain. I'm sure he's ok." Sin rolls her eyes.

"But it's raining pretty hard. He better get here before your dad. You know how he will get if you guys miss training, or in this situation- your studying. He really made it clear before he left."

"Oh please, papa is not coming back till a week, like always."

"True, but still, I'm in charge." She sighted in relief from being on knees. "Feeling better now, mister?"

"Yes mam'" Brock smiles and thanks her for her kind service. Although, before he left with Sinthea, he asks Mama if he can stay in for the night. Lucky for both, she allowed it. After all he is injured, and the rain doesn't seem to stop any time soon.

They both went up to Sin's room, and before Sin was going to sit on her bed, she was going to shower first. But before she did, Brock wondered about her thoughts on the other Hydras. Just wondering if they will have second thoughts about Steve.

Sinthea is very confident that they did. Brock successfully mentions something negative about Steve, and the way her brother reacted made it even better than they originally planned. But of course, the cost for it was damage, and Sin is truly going to take revenge on her brother one day. Worse than taking his friends away and his dome climber.

..."Sound great!"
