Second Chances

Soccer

"Get up!" Tina called as the soccer ball hit the back of Hana's head, making Hana turn her head sleepily to look at the clock on her bedside table.

"It's 5am on a Saturday!" Hana grumbled.

Tina, only, rolled her eyes and grabbed the ball; before walking out Hana's bedroom and into Nico's. Tina tosses the ball to Nico's face, "Wake up!"

Nico frowns as she sat up, "What the hell, mother?!"

Hana walks in her sister's room past her mother and picks up the ball; throwing it at her mother's face. Nico chuckled as the ball hits Tina's face, "That's what I call karma!"

Tina frowns at Hana, "15 minutes your butts better be in the car!" Tina leaves with a huff.

Hana turns around to her sister, "What the actual-"

"fuck, is going on?" Nico finished, as she jumps out of bed.

Both sisters walked cautiously down the stairs, Robert stood in the middle of the kitchen. "Morning girls."

"Dad," Hana nods, "what's up with mom?"

"I don't know," Robert admits, "but she did hit my eye with a soccer ball... I had almost forgotten that she was in the soccer team back in our college years..."

"What?!" Nico shocked.

Hana sat down, "Make sense..."

"What does?" Tina asked holding a bag of ice against her cheek.

"What happened?!" Robert asked, as he took the ice bag off of Tina's face. Tina hissed in pain, as a blackened bruise was revealed. "Oh my God!" Robert gasped.

Tina breathed, "Hana threw the ball at my face."

Robert gave a thumbs up to Hana, "Good job!"

Tina frowns and throws her hands up in frustration, "Unbelievable!"

As they arrived at the park, Stacey and Dale walked to help the Minorus unpack. Stacey looks at Tina's bruise, "Nice shiner... how did that happen?"

Robert walks past the two women and Dale with a box.

"Hana," Tina sighs, "happened."

Stacey shook her head, "Sweet innocent Hana did that?!"

Tina glared at Stacey, "She's not sweet."

"Okay," Stacey nods, "what happened?"

Tina told her what happened, just as the Geoffrey and Alex arrived, followed by Victor and Chase. Victor smirks, "Already, got bruises, Tina?"

Tina frowned.

"What happened?" Geoffrey asked, "Did Robert do that?"

Tina shook her head, "No, this wasn't Robert. Hana threw the soccer ball at me and it hit my cheek."

"Why would..." Chase began.

"We all woke up getting hit by said soccer ball." Hana explained, "Dad got hit in the eye, Nico on the face, and me on the head courtesy of mom. So, I grabbed the ball and threw it at her face."

"So, anyways," Nico sighs, "what are the teams?"

"Kids vs. Parents?" Alex suggested.

"Sure..." Geoffrey agreed.

"No powers!" Leslie warned.

"Cool." Molly smiles.

As they all got into position, Alex and Dale are the goalie. Hana and Tina came up to the center and waited for Janet, in the computer, to start the game. Janet looked at both Minoru women, "Go!"

Hana immediately started kicking the ball lightly forward but at record speed, but she was guarded by both her parents. Hana nods and chuckles, "Remember, when I was younger and you, two, would take me to the park and we'd play soccer?"

Tina and Robert stops, Robert clears his throat, "Yes, you were a sore loser back then..."

Hana smiles, "I was, yes. Do you remember what you used to tell me, mom?"

"Keep your eyes on the ball..." Tina nods.

"I guess you need to learn that lesson too!" Hana kicks the ball into the net.

Robert and Tina gasped as the ball landed in the net, and Hana threw her hands in the air, "GOAL!" Hana walks towards Molly.

Stacey walked towards Robert and Tina.

As Nico walks to the center keeping her eyes on the ball, both Tina and Robert guarded the goal. Hana on the sidelines took off her jacket revealing her tank top with:

printed on the chest, urging a chuckle from Alex and Karolina. Gert and Molly did a double take, as Chase and Nico's eyes widen in understanding.

"Oh mom." Nico called.

As the parents saw Hana's tank top, they gasped.

Janet, then, calls game. With the parents all distracted, Nico had successfully kicked the ball into the goal.

Hana laughs, "2-0!"

Victor complains, "We are getting slaughtered, here!"

Tina frowns, as Geoffrey points out, "Hana's really good; with her as an opponent, we won't win."

As Gert kicked the ball, Stacey tried her best to block it. So, Gert kicked the ball to Molly who was guarded by Geoffrey; in turn Molly kicked it to Karolina, who kicked it to Hana; Hana, then, kicked it to Nico. Ultimately, the ball got passed to Chase, who got it in the goal.

Alex looks at Hana, "I feel bad. Let's let them score..."

Hana nods.

As the game resumed, Tina got the ball, but had both Hana and Nico at her side. When she got closed to the goal, Hana nodded at Alex who briefly moved out of the way letting the ball go into the net.

By the end of the game the score was 6-1, the kids taking the lead.

"That demolished my self confidence..." Victor sighs, "only Tina scored..."

Alex smiles at Hana.
