"If I die," which...was possible. "Make sure Vika gets everything, keep an eye on Isla and for the love of god -- someone check on Aviv every now and then." he said with a dramatic sigh, ankle hooking over his knee. "Any tips, bud?"

Melissa had taken the chance to keep to herself for the most part -- not something she'd been all that good at when it came to these social events: weaving in and out of the crowd, but her interactions were few. Though she often relished invading others' personal space, a cruel pleasure she found in unsettling people, something held her back tonight. Her eyes drifted to the growing line as they waited to read who'd been paired -- maybe that quiet sweat that was forming at the nape of her neck told more of the truth than she was willing to let on. Curiosity gnawed at her as she watched the people walking away.

Some grinned, some grimanced.

Benjamin hadn't been yet, and she wasn't ready for him too.

It was Benjamin’s first year on the list, and that fact might have been enough to make her hesitate. Something about it made her second-guess the usual thrill of getting too close.

"I'll go look first," she told him, not looking back as she made her way over.

After The Fight.

Battered and bruised was the only was to describe Olivier as he practically hobbled out of the back rooms in which he’d been treated. He was keenly aware of the eyes that now trailed after him. For the second year in a row, he’d lost. But it sat differently within the pit of his stomach this year. It wasn’t eating him alive. He hadn’t been carried back to his mothers house, where he’d cried to her about his failures long into the night. 

No.

Instead Olivier walked out with his head held high. Or, at least as high as he could manage. He would no longer be weak. There wasn’t room for that in his life, and Olivier Fontaine finally felt like even if he’d lost the fight, he’d gained something back. Respect for himself. His jaw however was stopping him from smiling, the support he’d been given by the physician was to stay in place for four to eight weeks; the pain radiated as he fist bumped an old friend as he passed. There was one face he didn’t dare look for, Elaina most likely somewhere in the room. 

But then his eyes landed upon Adriana. Great.

‘‘I’m supposed to keep my mouth closed.’‘ He managed to say. ‘‘Then there you were.’‘

Mission: Pre-Fight

Part 1 Captain America: Ready for round two? Taskmaster: More training? Captain America: While we rest, Hydra's out there getting stronger. Taskmaster: I used to be Hydra. While we rest, all they're doing is making Red Skull jokes, and getting octopus tattoos. Captain America: C'mon, Taskmaster. You said you only get better by fighting someone new, so let's see if I can make you better...

Part 2 Taskmaster: You're tough, but you aren't too smart. Now I know every move you've got. And I never lose twice. Captain America: I lose all the time. I just never stay down.
