Cooper had seen Marcus from across the pitch, while the Bats and Wasp match had been going on. He was playing shadow to a ref but he had noticed his old teammate. It seemed that he had found another way to keep the sport around as well, he was going to be a ref! Cooper had thought about it for a bit when he had first gotten hurt but he knew that his true love was playing the very position that he loved so much. It had been a hard decision for Coop to make, but he was loving coaching. The Bats had snatched him up before he had really had a chance to flex his coaching muscles but he had learned a lot on their team. He hadn’t been with the team long but Coop was already looking to switch, while he loved the Bats his end goal was to end up back with the Magpies. He assumed that shot was years away, he was hoping maybe after Gen had retired from the sport or switched team.
The Bats had pulled out a win this time, while the team was off celebrating, Cooper had hung back in hopes of finding Marcus hanging around after the game. It was just his luck that he caught the man walking out at the same time that he was. “Marcus!” Cooper called out, using two hands to hold around his mouth and scream to get the other man’s attention. It was ridiculous, he could have used his wand to either apparate closer or just enhance his voice but he had chosen to use his hands as a megaphone and scream.
When he thought he had the attention of his old teammate, he jogged to catch up. “How’ve you been?! I saw you on the pitch and had to track you down, it’s been ages! I’m assistant coaching for the Bats.” He motioned behind him to the pitch, as if it explained everything. When he’d gotten hurt in May of 2007, it had been all over the papers. Cooper had avoided reading any of the articles but he knew they were out there. He tended to just assume everyone knew about it since it kept him from having to explain about it all again. “It’s good to see you again! Would you maybe want to grab a pint? Catch up?”
