Sitting in a large meeting room you begin to lay out the plans across the large corporate desk in the centre.

'would you like a drink?' pepper asks indicating to the coffee bar at the end of the room.

'I would love a water thanks.' Taking the glass you sit patiently waiting for Tony.

Swinging through the doorway an older gentleman, dark hair with hints of grey scattered throughout, looking very casual in a pair of jeans and a 70s rock top he appeared to be on hands free to someone. 'It's good to speak to you, Dr. Banner. Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. I look forward to having a more in depth look into this when you visit the lab.'

Removing his earpiece he heads straight for the coffee bar pouring himself an espresso before joining you at the table. 'Good to see you Ms Miller. I believe my dearest assistant Pepper will be overseeing majority of these plans But as this is the 10th anniversary I wanted to ensure personally it would be spectacular.'

Matching his enthusiasm you being to display the ideas you have for the event, eyeing the proposal plans Starks brows narrow 'No, no, no. I want BIG, we need fireworks, champagne, tech displays. Let's show them exactly what we are capable of and how we are shaping the future!'

After spending most of the day reworking proposals ensuring you were taking notes, your head bursting with ideas of grandeur displays you pack away your plans and finish the meeting for the day.

'I presume you can find you way out of the building or would you like Pepper to escort you?' Tony looks up between you both.

Reassuring them you would be fine you head out of the meeting room towards the lifts. The large steel room opens up, stepping inside you find a space behind some business employees. After a moment the elevator stops and the doors open as they make their way out. Standing towards the front, James hadn't noticed you as he stood clicking away on his phone.

Partly not wanting to disturb him and the other scared of the reaction you may receive you try to dissolve into the background, wishing for the floor to open up and swallow you silently. Admiring his broad shoulders and the way his hair was tucked so neatly behind his hair complementing the stubble across his chiselled jawline, you find yourself smiling.

His tattoos kissing his collar making you want to reach up an peak down his shirt to see the rest.

The doors opened again, James hit a final button on his phone before placing it in his pocket, looking up he steps through the doorway. With a loud ping your phone vibrates giving away your location.

Removing your sunglasses, you shoot a very shocked and confused James your best innocent shrug at being caught. Too stunned by your presence James doesn't even muster up a word before the doors slide close.

Looking down at your phone you see a text, from Bucky.
