Genevieve's POV
After saying goodbye to Peter and my peers, I walk to the rest of my team. "Oh my god, you look amazing! We have great taste!" Natasha complimented me. Bruce and Thor agreed with her and I thanked them all. "Care to dance?" Rogers asked me.

"I would love to Cap, thank you" I took his hand and he led me to the dance floor. The song changed to a slow song as we got there. His hands moved to my waist and I put my arms over his shoulders. Bruce and Natasha came to the floor. Thor was talking to Tony but he was only staring at me.

He doesn't deserve my attention, he's just a teammate. I turned my gaze back to Cap who was smiling. He's the only guy who's ever asked me to dance.

As the song ended I thanked him and began to walk away. I felt a hand grab mine and pull me back. "Just one more? Come on Genevieveee" Rogers drew out my name. I rolled my eyes and smiled, "One more couldn't hurt." The song began to play but someone taps on Rogers shoulder.

He turns around to see Tony, "Mind if I take your dance partner for a song." Rogers looked slightly annoyed but agreed. "Yes, of course. See you soon Genevieve" he kissed my hand and walked away. Tony put his hands on my waist where Rogers hands had been. I hesitated for a moment but put my arms over his shoulders as well.

"What are you doing Tony?" I asked a moment later. He has a bunch of women here to dance with but he pulled me away from Rogers. It didn't make sense. "I'm dancing with you silly" he gave me a smile. I returned the smile and giggled. Are you kidding me? Did I just giggle? Oh my god.

"You know what I meant Tony. Why are you dancing with me? There's other girls here and I was dancing with Cap" I looked him in the eyes. He tore his eyes away from mine and gripped to my waist. What's going on with him?

"I didn't like seeing his hands on you, okay? Are you happy?" he snapped Is Tony Stark jealous? If he is then he must be bipolar as well because he just told me today that there's nothing between us.

I chose to not respond to his comment and we finished the dance. Without another word I walked over to Rogers. My facial expression must've showed my frustration because he looked concerned. "Genevieve, are you alright?" he rubbed my shoulder. I gave him a fake smile and nodded my head. We decided to just talk the rest of the night, it was nice.

The party ended and I said my goodbyes to the guests. I helped clean up with everyone else. I took off my heels and collapsed on the couch. I hate heels so much, they hurt my feet. A door opened upstairs and I heard footsteps come down. "You look like shit" Rocket laughed and Drax joined in with him. They're assholes.

If I didn't care for them so much, they'd be dead. Groot started cursing at them, gotta love the little guy. "What they meant to say" Gamora interrupted, "was that you look exhausted." She sat next to me on the couch and the guys left the room. "How are the boy problems going?"

I turned my head quickly, "What are you talking about." She raised an eyebrow at me and looked around to make sure we were alone. "I'm not dumb Genevieve. Peter, Tony, Cap, all of that." I know what she means about Peter, that's obviously not a secret.

How does she know anything is going on between me and Tony? There isn't even anything really going on, not according to him anyway. And Cap? What is she even talking about? He asked me to dance, that's it.

"Gamora, the thing with Peter isn't going anywhere. I feel really bad about that actually, he's a nice guy. But I view him as a friend and nothing more" I turned my body toward her. She nodded her head in agreement, "Don't feel bad, you can't choose who you're attracted to. Do you really think I would CHOOSE to be attracted to Quill? He's an idiot" she laughed.

She isn't wrong. I've started getting some memories back ever since they told me about my real past. I remember how she would tell me that she hates guys like Quill but that he was somehow different. "I'm not sure what you mean when you say Tony" I lied. Gamora raised her eyebrow at me again, "I see how you two look at each other."

He doesn't look at me any type of way. And I don't think I do. Do I? I let out a sigh. "Sure, there's some feeling there on my part. That it. There's nothing between us and he's made that very clear."

Gamora put her hands on my cheeks and held my face, "He's scared, Genevieve. He doesn't like getting attached to people and the age difference is frowned upon. Not to mention that you aren't 18 yet. But I can promise you that there's something there for him too."

Maybe she's right. It doesn't matter if she is or if she isn't, either way, so is he. Nothing can happen between us. "And Cap?" I asked. That part really didn't make sense to me. "Quill told me about your guys' dance. Cap doesn't just ask any girl to dance" she answered.

It was just a dance, that's it. He was probably trying to make me feel more comfortable. I just nodded my head so that the conversation didn't continue. We both went to our rooms and for once, I fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.

Rogers POV
I couldn't sleep at all last night, I just thought about her. It bothers me that Tony acts the way he does with Genevieve and I'm not sure why. I'm not the only one to notice it either. He's either being a jerk to her or being possessive.

There's obviously something going on between them, it's written all over their faces when they're in the same room. I don't care because of the age gap, I care because she's being hurt. He's building her hope one minute and then tearing her apart the next. She doesn't deserve that. Last night was a perfect example.

He watched her all night but couldn't even manage to compliment her. But the second he saw us dancing, he intervened. Something was said while I was gone because when she looked back her face gave it all away. She looked like she was either about to cry or rip someone apart.

I go down to the kitchen, Genevieve should be down there since she has to leave for school soon. I walked in and she was sitting at the table finishing up some homework. No food was in front of her though. I don't want to be pushy but she needs to eat, she's already getting too skinny.

I grabbed two apples and sat down next to her where Peter normally sits. I put the apple down next to her papers, "No thanks Cap, I'm not hungry." This girl is killing me. I put my hand on her chin and made her look at me. "I didn't ask if you were hungry. Please just eat it" I beg. I hate seeing her like this.

She nodded her head slightly and took the apple. Tony walked in and noticed me sitting by her, he immediately took his eyes off is us and started making coffee. "I'm glad you're eating Gen" I heard him say with his back still turned. She didn't respond.

Peter came into the kitchen and had a confused expression when he saw where I was sitting. Tony sat down and the table and Genevieve put her papers into her backpack. She finished her apple and threw one to Peter, "We gotta go or we'll be late." Peter took a bite of the apple and left the kitchen to get his backpack.

"Have a good day" Tony smiled at her. She looked at him and started to leave. "See ya later Cap" she ruffled up my hair and laughed. That is the cutest thing I have ever seen. "See ya later dork" I chuckled. I notice Tony clench his jaw. I don't give a shit if he's mad. He wouldn't be in this situation if he knew how to care for someone.

Ooo who's she going to end up with? Tony? Peter? Cap? None? Only time will tell! Thank you all for your support!!
