The Stark Industries 4th of July company picnic was nothing short of spectacular. Held on the rooftop of the Stark Tower, it offered a breathtaking view of the city's skyline, making it the perfect spot for a grand celebration. Tony Stark, the mastermind behind the event (With Pepper pulling the strings behind the curtains), ensured it was a feast for the eyes and the senses.
At the heart of the gathering was a colossal pool, shimmering under the late afternoon sun with sparkling blue water that beckoned everyone to take a dip. Stylish, comfortable lounge chairs and colorful beach umbrellas surrounded the pool. The décor was over the top, with red, white, and blue banners and streamers adorning every available surface. Giant inflatable patriotic stars and stripes were scattered about, giving the party a truly festive atmosphere.
Grills sizzled away, producing the enticing aroma of hamburgers, hot dogs, and grilled corn on the cob. The food tables groaned under the weight of a mouthwatering spread that included every picnic favorite imaginable. There were baskets of fried chicken, trays of mac and cheese, fresh salads, and fruit platters, all served buffet-style.
In classic Tony Stark fashion, an open bar was set up in one corner of the rooftop, offering an array of beverages, from ice-cold beer and cocktails to refreshing lemonades and iced teas. Attendees could grab a drink and enjoy the afternoon sun setting behind the skyscrapers, casting a warm, golden hue over the festivities.
The afternoon atmosphere was filled with the sounds of laughter and conversation as coworkers mingled and enjoyed the celebration. There was music playing softly in the background, and as the sun dipped below the horizon, fairy lights and lanterns lit up, casting a magical glow over the rooftop.
Steve stood at the Stark Industries 4th of July company picnic entrance, and he couldn't help but feel a bit out of place. The festivities were in full swing, but his heart wasn't in it. He'd rather be elsewhere, even facing a dreaded root canal, than at a 4th of July party. However, he had lost a bet to Wade, and that's how he found himself reluctantly in attendance.
"Come on, birthday boy," Wade slapped his back and pulled him out of the doorway.
