Steve looked across the room, searching for his friends. The music was blaring loudly and he nervously tucked his blue button shirt. His brown leather jacket made him feel terribly informal. He saw Tony talking wildly to some co workers. He was always the man of the show and tonight he was owning that title.

Steve felt under dressed but he wouldn't let his nervousness get to him. Hell it had been quite sometime since he went to a party. Natasha was at the bar talking with Bruce. The thought of them together made him smile.

Steve almost jumped when he heard the elevator door open behind him and more guest walked in. They smiled and said 'hi' to him but he didn't say anything.

"How is Captain America nervous and afraid at a party?" He thought.

Still uneasy Steve looked at the now crazier party. He saw Clint talk with the doctor. His side was healing from the previous mission. Now that every one of his teammates were in deep conversations, Steve was left alone.

That was until someone came up upon him from behind.

"So this is a Stark party." A deep voice said behind him.

Steve recognized it immediately as Thor's. Thor was standing close to Steve from behind and Steve smiled looking around the party.

"Yeah, crazy right?" Steve said as he turned to face Thor.

"Not as crazy as Asgard, no." Thor said while he grinned widely.

Thor was wearing a plain tshirt with a maroon colored jacket over it. His long hair was pulled into a pony tail and a few strands of hair laid in front of his face. He held a tiny container with what Steve guessed was alcohol.

Steve coughed at the awkward silence now resting between them. Suddenly Thor slapped his hand on Steve's shoulder and turned Steve around.

"Let's enjoy this party, shall we?" He said eagerly.

Dazed Steve awkwardly began to walk into the crowd of people. Suddenly he spotted Sam.

"When did he get here?" Steve thought.

Together Thor and Steve walked down the stairs toward the bar and pool table. Thor's hand contained to guide Steve forward and he was happy Thor was helping him be social.

Sam spotted Steve and walked over beaming.

"There you are! I wonder where you had been." Sam said as he held a pool stick.

Steve felt his fellow god friend's hand leave his shoulder. He smiled at Sam, "Sorry I was-"

He looked back to Thor walking towards the bar.

"I was um building the courage to come into this party." He said looking back at Sam.

Same smiled, "Alrighty then. So you ready for a game of pool?"

Steve laughed, "Am I ready to be defeated by the Falcon? Yes I am."

Together they walked towards the pool table and Steve felt a huge amount of weight lift off his shoulders.
