The guests had started arriving about 20 minutes ago and were coming in a steady stream.

"How many people did you invite?" You asked Tony.

"The usual." Tony said, smiling at passing guests.

"You mean like 1,000 people." You said.

"Maybe more." Tony smirked.

"Maybe more?!" You almost shouted. "I don't think this place could hold over 3,000 people."

"Who said it was over 3,000?" Tony asked.

"With you as the host, you would probably invite over 10,000 people to a hot dog stand to have a dance party."

"True." Tony grinned like a maniac. "But maybe you could make a friend."

"But I don't want a friend." You complained. "The last one I had completely forgot who I was and blocked me because they thought I was spam!" Tony broke out laughing. "Shut up!" You laughed a little bit. The last of the guests came in and Tony closed the door after them.

"Okay, maybe don't try and make a friend." Tony's face was red from laughing and he was trying to catch his breath.

"I didn't know you would laugh so much about my last friend!" You said, still laughing a little bit.

"What was her name again?" Tony asked.

"I think it was Brittany."

"Brown hair?"

"Reddish blondish with the ends dyed purple." You corrected. Tony shrugged.

"I did my best." He walked into the crowd of people. You sighed.

"I'm going to get a drink." You muttered and headed for the bar. When you got to the bar there were people already sitting on the booths chatting with a glass of something in hand. Natasha was behind the bar talking to Bruce. You glance around the room and see the Avengers scrambled around it. Your eyes fell on Thor and remembered the conversation Natasha and Sam had had earlier in the day.

"He's a myth!" Sam said.

"So is Thor and Loki!" Natasha said. "And they're real!"

"Hey y/n." Nat said.

"Hi Nat."

"What do you want?" She gestured to the bar.

"You choose." You said.

"Okay." Nat shrugged and went to go get a drink. People passed the bar, not noticing you. Natasha returned with your drink. "Here you go."

"Thanks." You said, giving her a smile. She smiled back and headed off. You took a drink of the alcohol. You didn't know what it was but it tasted okay. You zoned out for a while. 

"Hey y/n." You looked over at Steve who was sitting next to you. Your glass was sitting in front of you, empty.

"Hey Steve." You said.

"How are you liking the party?"

"It's okay." You shrugged. "Could be better, could be worse." Steve nodded.

"The party's going to end in an hour and a half." He informed you. "We're going to try and lift Thor's hammer, want to join us?"

"Sure." You said. You got off the bar stool and followed Steve to the group of Avengers. They had already started trying to lift it. Natasha had just gone, she didn't lift it.

"Steve!" Tony called over. "Your turn!" Steve smiled and walked over to the hammer. He sighed and gripped the hilt. He pulled it up. It almost moved. Steve let go and shook his head, still smiling. Thor looked relieved. "y/n, you try!" Tony said.
