The night was in full swing with the jazz band playing and the guests taking to the dance floor which such reverence. Natasha observed from the balcony on high as the ballroom brimmed with the most powerful people in New York City who had all been invited to this monumental event. Even the Mayor of the city was here for the first hour and a half to wish the invincible Iron Man a happy birthday. Tony hated it, or so he protested to them all earlier in the evening, he had said he just wanted a nice dinner with his closet friends and Pepper went and had a full blow season event, press were here lurking in every corner and celebrities and pollutions were mingling with Superheroes.
Natasha was stood with Clint "Hawkeye" Barton who was also observing from on eye, his rear sat on the balcony as he sipped Vodka from a bottle. Clint was talking more at her then with her, saying how Tony was showing false modesty and that he probably dropped hints to Potts all along he wanted a 40th fit for a superhero. Natasha just smiled and nodded with the occasional "Mhmm" response to Hawkeye every now and then. She wasn't really much of a party person and that was evident by her all Black dress. Even off the Duty the Black Widow always looked the part. Her eyes raced down the ballroom to her friends and collgues. Earths Mightest heroes, the Avengers.
Further onto the dancefloor was Thor with his human girlfriend Jane Foaster, he was happily lifting her off the floor to the beat of the music which earned a few glances, laughing loudly and showing he was indeed truly settled here on Midguard with his mortal lover. In contrast was Bruce Banner dancing slowly with his beloved Betty Ross, holding her tight as the danced very sombrely to the music. Pepper and the Birthday boy were also on the dance floor mid playful argument it looked like with him protesting to her how he hadn't really wanted such a lavish and expensive Birthday. Love was indeed in the air it seemed for many of the Avengers and the mood was good.
Barton was yammering on about his newfound motorbike he bought, His beloved wife laura was not happy about it. He clearly was mid fight with his wife and was guilt ridden. But he as per usual was convincing himself it was fine and eventually it would fizzle out but when his phone buzzed in his pocket and he saw it was from her his face light up, he couldn't hide it even though he wanted to. Natasha felt a ping of jealously, not over Laura and Clint per say but the fact he had joy in his life which she denied herself for so long. Her steamy relationships had all but phased out and it became evident awhile ago her and Clint were better suited as friends then anything more. Barton was going to brush it off as nothing until Natasha looked him and the eye and said. "Call her you idiot." To which he protested at first but then agreed saying he would be back in a moment and she was probably calling him up to ask him a professional question. She loved Laura, she loved Clint and their kids, he needed something normal in his life.
Once he was gone The red haired Russian beauty made her way down the staircase onto the Ballroom dancefloor. Someone else had caught her eye as she scanned the room, another soul as old as hers who seemed to feel about as out of place as she was. Steve Rogers aka Captain America who was blatantly on his own and miserable. She navigated across the room towards him, with his back to the full length mirror. He was so deep in thought he didn't seem to even realise she was standing infront of him at first, but then their eyes met. Natasha smiled a genuallily warm smile at the handsome super solider. She knew he was thinking about his friend Bucky aka James Barnes. Who they had recently fought in DC, he had been turned into the HYDRA agent the Winter Solider and it had eaten away at Rogers.
She outstretched her hand and simply said to him in a confident tone. "Dance with me?"
