Carol/OTA (multiples welcome)
It wasn't that Carol was bitter about the game, exactly. More that she was just a little disappointed. And by a little, she was on her fourth beer disappointed, sitting on the bleachers and maybe contemplating throwing a baseball bat into the hemisphere. Okay, she'd get over it. It was a good game, even with superpowers in play and in all honesty her team hadn't done a bad job. Fair and square.
And it definitely didn't mean she would miss out on enjoying herself at this party. Tony had gone all out, and both Steve's seemed to be having a good time, even the one that lost. Meanwhile, she was hanging back as usual, happy to just observe and realizing how proud she was of everyone here.
It was nice, these gatherings. Sure, they happened a lot, but they were building that sense of community. And it gave the new kids a chance to interact and get to know the town. Who didn'tenjoy that??
