You've been dreading this moment the entire month already. Ever since that invitation got delivered you're contemplating on going, but now that you're going with Wanda, you're not sure it's the right decision.

And now that you're actually here, with everyone glancing at you, talking in hushed tones and everything, you're regretting even getting into that car.

I'm this world, the business world, there are these unspoken rules. You broke one of the main ones when you took the power from Steve, and of course that is the one thing people talk about right now.

'Let them talk...' Wanda tells you as she hands you a glass of champagne. She glances around the room herself, her eyes landing on Romanoff and her clique, that includes Steve.

'You never did tell me what was said before Steve walked out looking like a kicked puppy...' she speaks up and you sigh.

'I asked him if he even cared for me at all... he told me he truly loved me and that he lied to his best friend when he said he didn't... and I told him that I wouldn't fall for it.. not again..'

'Good for you...' she smiles but you can't give her one in return.

'Ladies...' Tony Stark joins the conversation. 'I have to say Y/n, I do think you have balls...' he tells you and you nod. 'But you broke a rule-'

'She can explain...' Wanda interrupts him and he raises a brow at you without even looking at Wanda. 'Can she? Because I'm very much debating if she should be here or not..' He muses.

'Steve and I broke up...'

'So I've heard...'

'But it's not for the reason you think... I wasn't planning anything but he believed I was... so he used me to prevent, well, basically nothing... then I found out and decided to get back at him and... it was petty.. Tony I know that but I won't actually run his company.. I barely have time for my own...'

His face changes at your words, it goes from sassy right to worried. He has known you for a long time, longer than anybody else, he knows when you lie and when you tell the truth. And judging by the look on his face, you can tell he knows you're speaking truthfully.

'Okay.. I wasn't expecting this story.. because Romanoff told me a very different one... which I am not inclined to believe for even a second...' he speaks. 'And for the whole situation... I'm sorry...'

'Yeah well, no offense but men usually don't care if they hurt a woman... there's nothing to do about it I guess... I'm gonna take a break from dating.. not that anyone would anyway..'

'look at her all sappy and shit..' Natasha smirks as she takes a sip of her martini. 'I can't believe she was dumb enough to fall for this...'

'Nat, that's enough...' Steve mutters to her surprise and her head turns slowly with a surprised look.

'What? You're not going to tell me you actually care, are you?'

He stays silent which makes Nat let out a surprised scoff. 'Oh my god! You do! No Stevie come on... she was a means to an end-'
