"You know I don't see what the problem is." Buckey tells Steve as they enter the Modern Marvels Pavilion. "You're about to become the only eligible man in New York." Willow laughed and Steve just scoffed. "Women will be flocking to you."
"I would settle for one." He replies glancing at Willow whose eyes are wandering around the square. Bucky rolls his eyes at him.
"She would be with you too you know." Bucky said, nudging him. Steve laughed lightly making Willow turn around and smile at them.
"Who are you talking about?" She asked, still smiling.
"Nobody Willow." Bucky replied cooly. Steve rolled his eyes at his best friend as the lights began to dim.
"Welcome to the Modern Marvels Pavilion and the world of tomorrow. A greater world. A better world." The ominous announcer said over the speakers. Steve smiled at Willow as she looked up and around at the brilliant blue and yellow lights.
"Excuse me you two but I think I hear a lady calling my name." Bucky said before disappearing into the crowd. Willow laughed as she took Steve's hand, so as not to be separate from him.
"Oh, is that Mr. Stark?" Willow asked as they came upon a crowd of people gathering by a large stage. "I think he has a new invention! Let's go take a look."
"He's a glorified inventor Willow can't we go someplace else?" Steve asked.
"He's the whole reason we have a Modern Marvels Pavilion, come on." She replied, dragging him with her towards the stage. Steve didn't argue, he just allowed himself to be carried away. Willow and Steve squeezed their way to the front so they could have a good view.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Howard Stark." A voice called out. Willow clapped along with everyone as the girls onstage gestured off to their left. Mr. Stark came on, taking off his hat and handed it to a girl before kissing her and taking the mike.
"He's very bold." Willow commented. Steve thought he was a womanizer.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. What if I told you that in just a few short years, your automobile won't even have to touch the ground, at all." The women came back on and began removing the tires, which were probably only props with how easy they picked them up and carried them away.
"Flying cars?" Willow said in amusement. "That'll be the day." She took Steve's hand again and his face grew warm.
"With Starks Gravitic reversion technology, you'll be able to do just that." Steve and Willow watched as he flipped a switch and began turning a knob on the control board in front of him.
"He actually did it?" Willow whispered as the car began to rise.
"Holy Cow." Bucky said coming up behind them, a pretty brunette in tow. The car was now hovering a foot or so off the ground and everyone stared in amazement.
"I don't think it will stay up long." Steve murmured. Willow shrugged. As if on cue, the wheels, if you could call them that, began to short circuit. The car crashed back to the ground causing several people up front to jump and gasp.
"Well, I did say a few short years." Stark finished with a shrug. Willow smiled wide and her, Bucky and the new brunette clapped. Steve sighed as he looked around the pavilion. A poster asking people to enlist caught his eye. Glancing up at Willow he pursed his lips and snuck away.
"Steve you know what we should do? We should all go.." Bucky stopped when he turned around and found that his best friend was gone. "Willow, where's Steve?" Willow turned around
"What? He was just right here. Where would he have gone?" Bucky frowned as he scanned the crowd slowly. He caught sight of the Recruitment building not too far away and ground his teeth.
