Ta to AverageRed for asking for this one.
All the stories in my "My Sister's a...!" series are standalone, but have common threads. A suggested reading order is on my profile page, too.
This one is a two-parter.

The wooden shaft of the stick arced around, straining against the air, before the end crashed down. The blade hitting the grass, as the toe picked up and flicked the ball absolutely flying.
Blake watched in wonder as the woman's face was fixed in brutal concentration, dashing across the grass, driving herself forward and her shoulder through anyone who thought that they had a chance to try and take control of the field.
Field hockey brought out the vicious side in his sister.
She also brought out a serious crowd, which Blake was far less enthuisiastic about. Cheering her on from the sidelines got a little bit harder when the guy on your left was drooling over your sister's knee-high black and white socks, and the guy on the right had a big-lens camera and was doing everything he could to snap a picture of her panties.
"Kick her ass, Lils!" The guy behind him screamed.
That was someone that Blake also had mixed feelings about. Ryker never missed a single one of his own sister's games. Lily provided more than enough agression, on field, to match Wynne. The white-haired woman was skilled.
However, Blake had noticed a few things that were just plain weird, about both of those two.
He'd felt overly superstitious the first time that it had niggled at him. Every single time that Wynne won a game, against Lily, then something would go wrong on the way home.
Every. Time.
They'd get stuck in traffic, or there would be a car accident, or some asshole would run them off the road. Did it really count as irrational and groundless when it was an absolute guarantee? They'd even had a brand new electric car's battery go bust and burst into flames, in front of them, at the lights, once.
The other thing that made Blake uncomfortable, was that Wynne found Ryker to be a touch... Attractive.
He couldn't fault his sister for that. The man was a little broad-shouldered, and seemed to often have a day or two of scruff hanging around on his jawline.
Lily, on the other hand, did fault Wynne for that. Hatred burned in those eyes, every time Blake's little sister so much as talked to the guy. Lily never spoke up, and had never actually spoken to his sister off-field as far as he knew. But she certainly gave a look like death.
The hatred was also accompanied by other weird coincidences. Things like the shower breaking, after a game. Every single time Wynne flirted with Ryker, she was guaranteed to have a cold one. If she waited and used the shower of another girl, that one would break as well.
The one time Wynne had grabbed two cans of soft drink after a match, and gave one to Ryker, with a transparent lie that the machine had accidentally spat out two instead of one, was the same time that a feral dog had come charging into the park, and straight for Wynne.
Blake had managed to tackle it before it got near his sister, but he really wished that she'd learn to step off the guy. Things being weird and irrational, though, meant that Blake could never actually bring it up with her.
Wynne sprinted up the line, and her teammate passed the ball back her way.
As it moved through the air between them, the infamous witch moved in. Hip and shoulder shoved Wynne sideways with a grunt, as the white-haired woman spun on a dime and ripped her stick through the ground with a blow of grass and mud.
The ball vanished back down the other way, but Wynne wasn't seeing it.
"Oh, shit." Blake managed to get out, as he saw the disaster about to unfold.
Wynne hadn't noticed Lily coming up on her inside edge, and the rough brush had knocked her off balance. She had lost her footing, which usually would just mean she'd eat some mud, and get up and keep going.
However, the girl who had shot her the ball back, also hadn't expected Lily's steal. That girl was stomping down hard, in an attempt to stop and spin, to catch up to the woman who was already long gone.
Stomping right on down onto his sister. Wynne was lucky that the shoe only had studs and not spikes, but it was still a blind fumble that had the full force and weight of her teammate behind it.
Blake heard the crack, even as he grabbed his bag and sprinted out onto the field.
He skidded down beside his sister as the scream left her throat, and confusion started to hit the field. "I got you, I got you."
Wynne hissed between her teeth, "Ah, fuck."
"It's a break." Blake said confidently, feeling her leg delicately, right as the teammate noticed what she had done, and him.
The girl dropped her hockey stick, falling beside her, "Oh, shit! Wynne, I am so sorry! Uh... Blake? What the hell are you doing?"
"I'm a doctor." He explained, as he splinted and immobilised his sister's leg. Fitting the bandage in place with a practiced hand. "Probably tibia. Easy break, under force. How's the pain?"
"Fuck you." Wynne muttered, clearly still protected by the adrenaline of her match. She'd start feeling it properly in a minute, and he doubted that she'd be so annoyed to be getting his help, then.
Ryker appeared, dropping beside Wynne, "Bandage, oh geeze. Anything I can do?"
"Call for an ambulance? We need to get this under an x-ray." Blake replied, only to suddenly get a disorienting thunk to the head.
He flipped his head sideways in time to see Wynne scrunching up another fistful of mud. Opening his mouth to tell her not to, was a bad idea. Her aim was perfect.
"Just go to the hospital." Lily said, crossing her arms as she approached, "Let him find out he was overreacting, and you're nothing but a bitch. Or you could tell him everything. Actually, why don't I do it?"
Wynne flicked a glare towards the woman, as her hockey captain suddenly grabbed Lily's shirt and picked the short woman off the ground. The captain growled, "Don't. Just... Don't. Not in the mood for your shit, today."
"Wanna see your territory disappear, overnight?" Lily raised an eyebrow, as she dangled there.
"Everyone chill!" Ryker yelled, and stood up, "Blake, should we move her to the carpark or something?"
"Best not. The ambulance will have a board to move her." He shook his head.

"You're lucky. It's just a mild sprain." The doctor said, as he pushed a couple x-rays into position on a board, and lit up the backing light.
Blake stood up instantly, walking over and staring at the diagrams in disbelief. It was clear as day, with not a hint of doubt to it. It really was nothing more than a sprain, and so mild most people would miss it.
However, on the field, he had been absolutely certain that it was a complete break. Bone clean in half, it had been a miracle that it hadn't ripped out of the skin and into the cold air.
"See. You overreacted." Wynne rolled her eyes.
The other doctor crossed his arms, "Actually, he didn't. Whilst the sprain isn't the break we were expecting, I'm afraid it's actually not quite as simple as it could be. We're being cautious, but we'd like you to stay overnight, for observation."
"Huh?" Blake was as confused as Wynne.
She rubbed her face tiredly, "Uh... Why?"
"There were a few... Anomalies with your bloodwork. We just want to make sure that there's no infection." The man replied, "We emphasise that we're being cautious. It could just be a mild cold, or it could be something that could go south if it spreads deeper. We haven't managed to pin down exactly what it is. Until we do, we would like you to stay."
"Oh." Wynne went a little quiet, fidgeting with her hands and looking at the floor. She took a couple deep breaths, "Um... There's a doctor who works here. Uhm... Doctor Hanson? I know it sounds weird, but could you use him for a second opinion?"
"He's our doctor for infectious disease." The man said in surprise.
She nodded, and gave a nervous smile, "Please? I don't know him personally, or anything. Not a patient. But I'm fairly certain that he'll be able to tell you what the weirdness is, without blinking. Five minute consult."
"I... I'll see if he's available." The doctor said with a hint of confusion, turned out the backlight and took down the x-rays, before heading out of the room.
Blake walked in front of her, leaned on his knees, and looked at his sister.
She blushed, and turned her head away from him.
"Wynne."
"No."
"Wynne!"
"Still, no." She mumbled, and then scratched at her head in irritation, "It's... It's something I can't talk about, okay? Look... Gah. I know I was a bitch. You saw me get hurt and I was still revved up and... I know what's wrong. It's nothing to worry about, so I just wanna go home."
Blake winced, "Wynne, you know I'm a doctor. If there's something wrong, why wouldn't you tell me? I can't really see you hiding it, even if it's huge. Cancer...?"
"It's not cancer." She gave a small giggle.
He shrugged, "And? Why... Don't you trust me? If it's not big, I'm not going to panic. We've got a good hospital, here. I'm more than happy just to play big brother, if you're in their care. So... Infectious disease?"
