The right answer is:

 

 

 

thunder.

 

Here are some examples of how you can use it:

Meaning 1: Cassie was really proud she had got to level 100 on her computer game, so I didn’t tell her I got to that level two years ago, because I didn’t want to steal her thunder.

Meaning 2: I was astounded (= very surprised) when Aiden explained his idea how to do our work faster in the team meeting, as I had told him that idea myself last week. It’s so unfair when someone steals your thunder!
