Bottom of the seventh, two outs, man on second...
The cheering had been enthusiastic. The parents not so disgruntled with Dad on hand to keep the arguing down. Every kid got to bat and Coach Mike rotated the field positions among the kids who showed interest during practices. The whole team proudly wore their shirts with Stark Inc embroidered on the sleeves. Mom's suggestion to ask for sponsorship had been a good one. Having a prince as a coach didn't have quite the same effect as a high powered name on the sleeve.

With the score eight to two, they weren't going to pull this one out of the hole, but they were having a great time. Soon a pizza feast Mom and Anya promised would be delivered and the boys would celebrate their first loss of the season in high spirits all the while promising they would win the next one. They just might, too. Misha wasn't giving up on them.

	"Valid excuse last summer. This summer, no." Before James could get in another protest, Misha moved Tessa away and steered her toward Logan. Dad was leaning against a tree watching the group with a tolerant expression. Someone who knew him well, or any kid, would have no qualms approaching him. It was the casual observer who'd give him wide berth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Logan watched Mikey lead the redhead around and introduce her to the others. It was him shaking his head over the hair color and how the men in his family always had terrible luck with redheads when he realized the girl moved like she'd had some training. He'd put money down on her having fighting skills. Not unusual in this day and age. Just an interesting side note.

When it was his turn, he schooled his face into a more pleasant expression because females generally did like him for a reason. Even the ones out to kill him.

"Kids played a good game."
