"Y/n! It's great to see you!" Tony approaches you with a drink in hand, giving you the drink "Same here, Stark. How are you? I'm sure the life of being a superhero has been thrilling" You hug him.

Just as you started to make conversation with Tony. A tall man enters the party "Didn't think you'd make it" Natasha walks up to him

"I didn't either" Stephen sighs, grabbing a glass of champagne from a waiter "Who's that with Tony?" He asks, keeping his eyes fixed on you.

You looked interesting

"Oh, that's Y/n, the owner of L/n resources. Tony's working with her" Natasha shrugs as she waves back to you

"Ms. Romanoff, you look great" You smile as she hugs you "And who might you be?" You raise a brow, offering your hand to shake "I'm Doctor Stephen Strange"

"Y/n L/n. Lovely to meet you" You take your hand back but your phone begins to ring. You excuse yourself and pick it up "Hello?"

"Ma'am. The Grim Reaper protocol is ready"

You look around to check if anyone was listening "Good, keep it in archive's for now. I need to offer it to Tony first. And Vernon, why are you calling me? You're on vacation" You say in a stern tone

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help getting roped into work again" You chuckle "Yeah, okay. Now go have fun" You bid your goodbye's and hang up the phone.

"Woah, hello there" You say in surprise as you bump into Stephen "Sorry, I'm very clumsy" He apologizes as you smile "It's alright" Your eyes dart to the person behind him "Prue?"

"Y/n?" Her head turns to you and she squeals in delight, running up to you and capturing you in a tight embrace "Oh my goodness, where have you been" You ask

"I've been traveling. A lot" Prue chuckles "How about you? Ms. Businesswoman" She admires your outfit, you wore an all black suit

"Very edgy and hip" She teases as you laugh, hitting her playfully "Wait, how did you even get in here?" You look at her in worry "Don't tell me you snuck in" Her brows furrow

"Of course not. I had a first class ticket" Prue's smile appears once more at the sight of Bucky

"Hey doll"

"Hey soldier" Prue walks up to him and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek "You're dating?" You say in shock "Apparently" Steve sighs, taking a gulp of his drink "Is someone jealous?" Prue winks at Steve who rolls his eyes "No, I'm just offended that Buck didn't tell me sooner"

"Of course you are" Bucky nudges Steve "Well, I hope you two will be very happy" You smile before watching Prue talk to Steve for a bit. Grabbing Bucky by the collar you whisper straight to his ear "If you hurt her, even in the slightest way. I will make sure to burn you along with your ashes until you're nothing" You let him go as his eyes give you a frightened look

"Anyways, I need to go... And mingle" You wave them goodbye before entering a balcony. Opening your phone you check up on appointments, deals and meetings.

"When you said mingle, I was expecting you to go out there and actually talk to people" Tony walks up to you "Just checking up on the company. Seeing if it hasn't gone in flames yet" You smirk at him as he hands you another drink

"You're a good Business Owner. I'm glad that I invested in you instead of some sleazy man" He raises his glass and you clink it and down it in one go

"How does it feel to be back?" Tony asks

"It's nice. Staying in another country for business was really stressful. All I did was run around fixing everyone's mistakes" You scoff

"Hopefully, this time around, I could be more laid back"

"When are you going back to work?"

"Tomorrow"

"Let's not get you drunk then"

~~~

You lay your head on Natasha's shoulder, which she actually insisted as you looked kind of tired "So how did this happen" You gesture to Bucky and Prue

"I was passing by here and he was kind enough to take me out for coffee" Prue smiles

"You're so sweet together" You coo

"It's sickening" You gag right after and Wanda chuckles

"You're just jealous"

"Yeah, you're replacing me! If you wanted a date you could've just come to me" You say jokingly

"What, are you going to set me up with a trashy guy"

"What? Do you really think I'd stoop so low? I'd set you up with me~" You wink at her

"Alright, back off. I'm dating her for God's sake" Bucky sighs

"I wasn't asking Bucko" You retort "Y/n has too much alcohol in her system" Tony comments

"I do not! Maybe a little, but I do not!" You say in offense "Do you think she's too drunk to go home by herself?" Steve whispers to Bruce who shrugs

"Y/n, do you want me to get you a cab or do you want to stay here?" Bruce offers "I want to stay here, with pretty woman" You groggily remark, slowly falling asleep on Nat's shoulder.

~~~

You jolt awake at the sound of loud alarms setting off "What the fuck!" You curse, falling off your bed. Well, it wasn't really your own bed. You rub your head as pain decides to go through

"Good, you're awake. Vernon came by and dropped off some clothes and here's some aspirin for the hangover" Tony holds up a cup and a pill handing it to you

"Clothes are in the bathroom. Get ready, you're going to be late"

"You sound like my mom" You scowl, walking into the bathroom and quickly changing.

~~~

"Y/n! Your car is here!" Nat yells "Alright! Thanks for letting me stay! Bye!" You give her a quick kiss on the cheek

"What was that for?" She asks

"I don't know, it felt right" You shrug before running off

"She's quite the character" Thor watches you pressing the elevator button vigorously
