--------------------------------------------------------------------

I sighed to myself, tugging my shirt down, I didn't want anyone to notice my tattoo above my right hip, it was simple just a huge mistake, and one I wish someone could have just fixed. My own parents thought I was just weird, and once I had turned 17, they decided to throw me out, choosing to focus on helping my own brother find his soulmate.

Most people were born with a soulmate mark, most people had the mark somewhere on their arm, mine appeared when I had turned 2, my parents thankful it had appeared on my hip, they simply told everyone my mark just hadn't appeared yet, embarrassed for themselves more so than their daughter, claiming it was a mistake and just couldn't be correct.

I looked up at the clock above my computer, 10 minutes to knock off time I thought to myself, whilst typing the rest of the document in a haste manner. I needed to make sure I left on time today, I had to run back to my apartment to grab a fresh set of clothes before I headed to my second job. I clicked saved before I stood up, grabbing my bag and raced forwards toward the doors leading out to the busy streets of New York city.

I quickly changed and within 5 minutes I was back out on the streets of the busy city, and pushing my way through the crowded subway in attempts to get to my second job early enough to quickly check in with my boss.

I pushed open the giant glass doors, flashing a smile to the security standing at the doors, ensuring customers weren't coming in just yet. I looked around noticing a few of the other girls already getting ready for what was probably going to be a busy night, it was after all a Friday Night in NYC and this was a pretty popular club amongst the local crowd and passers by.

I pulled the hem down of my skin tight black dress, thankful that I was allowed to wear a dress instead of the shorts and crop tops most of the other girls chose to wear, I didn't want anyone to find my soulmate mark and pass on their thoughts. I made sure my hair was freshly curled and that my makeup was perfect before heading out to the bar.

I saw my boss sitting at the end of the bar, flipping through some paperwork, he looked up when he saw me, 'We have a very important group coming through tonight, they are going to be set upstairs, so the entire second level is blocked off tonight for them' he said.

I nodded in response, assuming that he would be sending the other scantily dressed girls up there to serve the group, I turned to check the stock on the bar shelf before he interrupted me.

'I want you up there tonight Alli' Luca said, looking up at me, 'they are VIP's and I don't need some of those younger girls throwing themselves at them'

'Oh ok then' I turned feeling a little shocked that he would be asking me to go up there, I was pretty competent at my job, and I knew Luca thought I worked really well, I had just insisted on not wearing the short shorts and crop tops. 'When are they coming then?'

'They booked the spot for the whole night but I wouldn't expect them much before 7-8pm' Luca said standing up from his barstool. 'Full service, whatever they want within reason, make sure they get it, and they have an open tab, they person who booked them in said they would cover any of the costs'

I nodded taking a mental note, 'Ok, thanks, will it just be me with them then?'

'Yes, the other girls can focus on down here for tonight, Alex and Chris will be working the bar down here, and you can use the bar down here for their drink orders' Luca said, turning to leave, 'I'll be here till about 9pm if you need anything, give me a buzz'

I nodded to myself, turning back to the bar,ensuring everything was set up for the night, then went and checked up stairs, ensuring it was all ready for the group coming in. I sighed to myself, wondering who the guests would actually turn out to be. It wasn't like Luca to want a conservative girl like myself to be the host.

We had a constant flow of VIP groups ranging from actors to singers visit on a regular basis, but most of the time Luca let them have free range of the club and gave them a variety of girls to serve them. Tonight it was just going to be me, on my own ,hosting the mystery group.

After checking in with everyone, I glanced over at the clock next to the bar, it was just have 7pm, I was currently helping Alex and Chris at the bar, serving the first round of crowds for the night. I looked up at the young woman ordering her drink, noticing she kept looking around, as if she was waiting for someone.

'Are you alright' I ask, sitting her Vodka and orange on top of the bar, leaning over to take her money.

'Yep just waiting for someone,' she looked around again, focusing her glance on the doors. 'Some VIP's apparently coming down tonight'

'Yeah apparently they are coming at some point tonight' I sighed, looking at the woman again, her blonde hair slightly curled, she turned to leave the bar, glancing to the upper level of the club, before making her way back into the crowd.

I turned around to look over at the entrance, noticing a large group walk in, a few people I heard started to scream and a few people flipped out their phones trying to take a quick snap of the group.

'Guess that's going to be them then' I thought to myself, turning to leave the bar, I saw Michael from the head of security leading the group upstairs. I trailed behind them, not wanting them to acknowledge me just yet, I sighed, playing with the hem of my dress as I reached the top landing of the staircase, waiting for Michael to come over to me.

'Well, I wasn't expecting them' he said , glancing down at me, his tall frame towering over me.

I glanced over at the group,I didn't seem to recognise anyone from the group, I shrugged, looking at them all.

'Alli, come on man, seriously, no idea?' Michael laughed at my complete oblivion. 'They saved all of New York, and countless other places over the past few years'

My mind ran through the past few events that had rocked the world, before it hit me.

'Oh great, the Avengers' I said, turning to face them all, realising all their eyes were on me.
