[—Ding! Task - Playing With Fire Complete!]
Markus instead of feeling happy at the chime of his System, instead he felt his stomach drop.
Allison's subtle stares, calculative glances and every single interaction he had with her alongside her questions now painting a much more clear picture.
' Fuck...I was right.'
~|•|~
Markus walked up to the pitch in contemplation, a frown permanently etched to his face as his mind came up with hypothesis after another concerning Allison.
He had known that something was different about her already, he had even deduced that she had probably been a hunter earlier than intended in the show.
That much he had put in consideration.
Now that he had gotten confirmation that he had been right, his mind was now trying to figure out every nuance detail and information that he might have missed inbetween their conversations.
He wanted to know exactly what she was after and also exactly how much she knew about him.
He had been an idiot at first in thinking that Allison's interest in him was solely just curiousity or a bid to get more information on his brother.
She and probably the entire Argent family probably knew of Scott already being a werewolf, that was the only thing that would make sense.
But the interest on him too was a bit concerning.
He'd need to find exactly what she knew of him fast in case he would need to fastforward his plans.
He did not want any more surprises.
Now he only had to worry about how much Information he had given up and how much the hunters knew of him.
He just hoped that he wasn't under their radar yet.
' Fuck overthinking, I have a task to complete and then I'll see where things go from there.' He thought, after all what would worrying about something that had been inevitable from the start do him?
" McCall! Finally you've decided to join us!" The Coaches booming voice brought him out if his stupor.
Shaking his head he walked up to the other players, doing everything in his power to ignore Lydia's cheering on the side that Allison deemed exciting enough to join.
And of course his brother didn't like that, as seen by his aura flaring up from a spark to its usual inferno.
' God, what the fuck have I gotten myself into?' He wondered with a weary smile.

Training started as it always did, warmups before the coach had them form a line again.
Markus was not amused by any of it though.
He found it funny that the reality of his newfound life came crashing down now of all places.
With his brother right behind him on the line breathing down on his neck.
Allison watching both of them like a hawk staring them with amusement, he'd have to watch himself with that one.
Then there was Lydia's eyes which roamed towards him and then towards Jackson who too noticed.
His anger towards him was the only thing that made sense in his mind, he didn't appreciate it though.
Focusing back on the game he watched as player after player went up against Jackson, trying to pass him and then shoot at the goal.
This was their training for the day, it all seemed easy to him though. His physical capabilities alongside his [Sports] skill allowed him a great length of insight in any and every sport he knew.
The only person that would be a problem here would be Scott, his brother— luckily though he was part of his team, now if only he could understand that and stop glaring at his neck.
It didn't take long before it was his turn.
" McCall! Look alive!" Their coach shouted enthusiastically.
" Woohoo! Get him Mark!" Came Lydia's cheers, he cringed a bit as whispers quickly spread behind him from his teammates who all knew that Lydia was dating their captain, Jackson.
Looking at the girl he sighed seeing how she cheekily grinned while staring down at her boyfriend.
Markus immediately knew what she was playing at and he didn't like it.
He could understand that she was trying to get close to him, but in doing so she was making more enemies for him.
And he had his own brother to worry about!
" Let's just get this over with." He mumbled before quickly snatching the ball off the ground.
He didn't wait for Jackson to get ready before he made out in a sprint.
He made sure to reign himself in and not breach into speeds that were too outrageous to be human.
He had two spectators that would immediately see through that if he did.
Allison and then their newest watcher, Derek who creepily stared at Scott and Allison with his trademark emotionless gaze.
"That's the energy McCall!"
Breathing in he quickly came into Jackson's area and just as he tried to shoulder check him, Markus wouldn't have that and the best course of action would have to dodge at his blindspot and weave through him.
But he wasn't here for that, he was here to dominate and that was exactly what he would do.
Settling himself in his centre he at the last minute dashed himself at Jackson.
"Wha-?!"
Jackson probably hadn't expected him to do that as seen from how his eyes widened. Markus with a small grin met Jacksons shoulder check with his, quickly it was apparent who had the advantage as Jackson was sent flying through the air with a gasp.
Markus knew he had done damage and quickly shot the ball at the goalie, easily the ball swerved under them and into the post.
" Jackson!" Coach's voice brought everyone out their shocked stupor, quickly coach ran up to the downed boy and closely following behind him were the other players tailed by Lydia who looked a tad bit concerned and Allison.
Markus on the other hand simply stared down at the moaning teen and sighed.
' I didn't even hit you that hard, wimp.' He thought not feeling a bit of guilt.
[—Mission: Cemented Dominance Complete!]
Markus felt a small smile reaching his lips as the screen popped up.
' Finally.' He thought quickly disengaging from the entire scene.
He had no time to be playing around.
So he left under the scrutinizing gaze of Derek who had his eyes thinly gazing at his retreating figure, Allison instead looked at him with suspicion laced in her very eyes and that suspicion bled into her aura as it moved with a slight edge to it.
' Well fuck, I definitely just fucked myself over again didn't I?'
