It was a radical idea. So radical that none of them would even consider it without her suggestion. Reid immediately checked his phone. "Yeah! There are some going on in the city. I can't believe it." Rhys asked where it was. "It's over on the eastside in about a month. We can do this. They are doing singles, doubles and mixed doubles." It was an opportunity to continue playing the sport they loved. Anna smiled at their enthusiasm. "If you keep in shape by practicing here from now on, you'll be able to do great." she said. The ability to compete would do wonders for their confidence going forward. Ronan crossed his arms. "Are you kidding me? It's an open league. That means we'll be playing against betas and alphas. I'm not getting the shit beat out of me. No way." The others deflated a bit. Anna decided to put her thumbs on the scale to get this going. She clapped her hands to get attention. "Alright then. The 3 of you can sign up. You can all do singles and doubles can be done by 2 of you. I'll pair with the other brother for mixed doubles." The 4 looked at Anna. It was a bold thing.
Humoring her, Ronan said "Really? Do you even play tennis? There's no point if you lose in the first round, you know!?" That was true and a valid criticism. Anna was not a real tennis player. What she did have going for her was her high level. She was level 13. The brothers were all level 8. Being national champions and educated got them more than what would be expected for many citizens their age. The delinquents who spent their time fighting and the career criminals were strong in this game. So was the law enforcement. Reid went to Rhys and playfully put his arm over his brother's shoulder. "We were a team at nationals. We'll keep it up." he said with a jovial tone. That made sense. Rhys chuckled. "We'll show them why we were undefeated all year!" he said. Anna turned to Reilly. "Looks like we are going to be partners in the tournament, so sign me up too." They were getting pretty excited. It was something that they wanted. Now it was ahead of them. Anna brought them all out to the park to practice every day after school. They got to practice and exercise on the courts.
All of this invited some intrigue. People wanted to know what these 4 omega males were doing. If alphas tried to interfere, she would get in the way. Beating the shit out of alphas gave her more exp. to level up with. The Idut brothers showed her the ropes of the sport. Anna had good power, speed and reflexes due to her high level. She could hopefully keep a rally alive long enough for Reilly to end it. That was her plan going into it at least. After a week of practice, she was asked an odd question. Reilly asked if he could get some of her clothes. She raised an eyebrow at him. "It's nothing! If you don't want to give them to me it's totally fine." he quickly added. The other brothers looked disappointed. Ronan rolled his eyes. "They want your clothes because our heat is likely to come soon. We'll be nesting, so they want your scent around. I don't care." he explained to her in and exasperated tone. The other looked super guilty. Anna did not mind now that she knew what was going on. They then went to the dorms. Anna took off her clothes and split them for the boys. They got a show.
