Jamie stands beside Robby as the group of captains huddled together for pictures. The camera shutter clicks before the photographer looks to them again, "Now, everybody smile and say, "Barcelona." One, two, three."
"Barcelona." The teens say
"Louder. Barcelona!"
"Barcelona!"
"Sexy. Everybody..."
"Really going out of their way to let us know how special the captains are." Hawk says
"Yeah, I'm getting that." Miguel sighs
"It seems like everyone already knows each other." Devon says before turning at the sound of shouting. A few teens from other teams continue arguing as she turns back, "It's not exactly friendly either."
"Maybe it's like prison." Demetri says as they turn to him, "Just punch the toughest guy square in the jaw on day one."
"Hm." Sienna hums as she leans on Hawk
"Yeah, there are a lot of tough guys." Priscilla says
"Smile. More." The photographer says. Jamie becomes increasingly agitated at the idea of being squeezed between people, "All right, show me the tongue. One, two, three. Sexier."
The camera flashes before he bends down, "And one more. You there in the back, smile. Show some emotion."
"Okay, let's get one more." He tries, but Tory walks off, "Okay, never mind. We're done."
Jamie sighs gratefully as she walks over to the others, "If I have to take another picture, I'm gonna lose my mind."
"You look cute if that makes a difference." Sienna says
"It doesn't, but thank you."
Sienna smiles and winks before turning her attention back to Hawk. Jamie looks up to Miguel who smiles down softly at her. His hand comes up and tucks a piece of hair behind her ear as she sighs in content, "You okay?"
"Yeah. We've been here all of 10 seconds and I'm exhausted."
Miguel chuckles as he wraps his arm around her shoulder pulling her closer. The teens turn as Robby rushes past them after Tory. Jamie looks up to Miguel as the boy sighs and his jaw tightens.

The teens walk further through the exhibit. Mindlessly following the chants coming from another room, "Vlad, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad!"
"What the hell is this?" Hawk asks
"Vlad, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad!" The teens cheer before he kicks at the wall leaving a mark. He grunts as Kwon claps conscendingly.
"Not even close. No one beats mine." He says before looking over to Miyagi Do, "Team USA. Everyone knows America's best at everything, right?"
"Let's see! Let's see! USA! USA!" He chants as the crowd joins, "USA! USA! Come on! USA! Are you scared? Come on! USA! USA! USA!"
